I do not own the Teen Titans, but I do own my own character's. Well now in this chapter with a couple of people my character has met in his travels and he makes it home, but trust me there is a lot more excitement in this chapter, and even more questions. So without further adue my chapter awaits.
Chapter 4: Eat at Joe's
Kevin was on the roof making sure all his loose articles were intact and securely fastened. He checked his pocket watch to check the time, took a deep breath, put his watch back in his pocket, and jumped off of the roof into a freefall. He fell very close to the bottom passing the others through the window seeing there faces when they saw him fall and quickly changed into flight as he flew into the direction of home. He was flying over the city enjoying his time off. He flew for a good three hours before he got a little tired, then he remembered where he was and relized he hadn't been there in a while. Kevin then landed on the ground to concerve his energy. He walked for a half an hour before he reached his old stomping grounds. He saw a sign that said "Welcome to Stonebridge."
"Good old stonebridge." Kevin said as he walked along the streets. He looked around and saw a lot of familiar faces and places. Then he came along one of his friends he met on his travels dinner. "Alright Joe's is still up." Kevin looked outside the dinner and saw a sign. "Eat at Joe's. Wow that's cleche." Kevin said as he walked into the dinner. When he walked in a couple of people looked at him then went back to eating there food. Kevin took a seat on the front counter top and sat in his seat looking away from the counter. A big man with a small black mustache hary arms and wiping his hands on a rag came out. He had messy black hair that looked like he lost a fight with a lawnmower.
"What can I getcha pal." The man said in an extreamly thick Italian accent.
"Oh common you should know by now Joe, I'll have the usual." Kevin said as he turned around in his seat to face Joe.
"Well would ya look at he we got hear, If it aint my old pal. Kevin I havn't seen you in ages, what have you been you little punk." Joe said as he slaped on the arm.
"Hey Joe nice to see ya. Man Joe I took a look at your sign back there, a little cliche don't you think?" Kevin asked.
"Hey I take that as a compliment. So you want your usual right." Joe then went into the back "Hey Sara, you'll never guess who showed up. It's Kevin."
"Kevin's here, this I gotta see." An extreamly beautiful woman with lon red hair that dropped to the middle of her back came out of the back room with a small white apron. "Kevin I havn't seen you in ages boy, why havn't you kept in touch." Sara said as she rubbed his head messing his hair.
"Aww you know me never in one place too long. So I see your still with Joe. I still can't believe a guy like him got a girl like you." Kevin said.
"He may be a little big, but he has good heart. You know that." Sara said. "So what have you been up to?" Sara asked when Joe came out with a plate of food for Kevin.
"Here ya go Kev, Baconcheesburger with pepperjack, and a side of fries." Joe said as he put his food on the table. Kevin immediately took a giant bite out of the burger. "Geez Kevin how long has it been since you ate?" Joe asked.
"Only about three or four hours. I've just been flying for a while. I'm goin home for a little bit to visit my mom's grave." Kevin said as he ate a couple of fries. A big man then took a seat next to Kevin.
"Hey Jim, the usual?" Joe asked.
"Yep," Jim responded. Joe then left and a couple of minuet's later came back with some food. Kevin really didn't look, he was content with his food.
"So Kevin, what you been up to?" Joe asked. But before Kevin asked.
"You know this kid Joe, I've never seen him before." Jim said.
"Know him, this kid saved my life." Joe said.
"This shrimp." Jim said.
"Hey I may look small, but I can do a lot more than you think. Especially with this." Kevin then took off his coat to reveal his metal arm. Jim looked at the arm surprised.
"Yeh Jim this kid's a superhero." Jim said.
"Oh and about that, Im official now." Kevin said.
"What you talkin about." Joe said in his thick accent. Kevin then pulled out his communicator and showed the other's.
"I'm a Teen Titan now." Kevin said as he put his communicator away. Kevin finished up his burger and wiped his mouth. "So what's the damage?" Kevin asked.
"On the house, think of it as a gift." Joe said as he took the plate away. "Just remember to visit more often." Joe said.
"So does Jessica still come around here?" Kevin asked.
"Actually she left a while ago, she said she went lookin for you." Joe said.
"Really?" Kevin asked. "Well If she ever stops by tell hear I said hi alright." Kevin said as he stood up and put his coat on. "Well Joe I gotta get going if I'm gonna make it home in time. I'll see ya later. Bye Joe, bye Sara." Kevin said as he walked out waving.
"Later Kevin." Joe and Sara said.
"Good to see he finaly has a good home." Sara said as she wiped down the counter. Kevin took off into the sky as he started to head home again.
Kevin had been flying for what felt like forever as he was now going non-stop to his old home. He wondered if anything had changed, and if his brother's were still up to there usual buisness. He flew for about six hours before he finaly made it to his home state. He flew for another half an hour before he reached his old neighborhood. Kevin landed in front of a wooden sign that read: "Maggis Core Villa".
"Good old home." Kevin said as he took a deep breath. He looked around to check his surroundings. He looked over at the sign that was on top of a stone setting. "Holy crap it's still there." Kevin said as he looked at a carving he put there when he was ten. He walked over to it and as soon as he moved a bullet richocheted by his foot. Kevin reacted quickly and dove behind the stone. "What the hell!" Kevin yelled as he took cover.
"Hey there Kevin, quite a coincidence we have here." Quick Draw yelled from a distance in his hidden vantage point.
"Dammit Quick Draw, cant I have just a little break without dealing with someone trying to kill me?" Kevin yelled from behind his safe location. Kevin stuck his head out slightly to try and see where he was hidden but when he did a bullet hit the side of the stone. "Damn I'm pinned down, and I'm too damn drained to do much." Kevin said as he thought about what to do. "OK the bullet came from the front and there's only three houses over there." Kevin then stuck out his metal arm as Quick Draw shot it. Kevin used the foce his arm was dragged to figure which houe Quick Draw was hiding. "Gotcha!" Kevin said as he threw a energy ball towards Quick Draws direction.
"Crap!" Quick Draw yelled as the ball flew right by his head. Kevin used this to run and find a better hiding point to fight back. He got to a good location with a lot of cover.
"Well looks like your gonna have to do better Quick." Kevin said as he looked around to see Quick Draw standing up putting away his rifle and taking out a machine gun from his oversized trench coat.
"Oh I'm gonna get you back for hurting my hand, and leaving me to hang all those years." Quick Draw said as he jumped down from the roof of a house and onto a dirtbike starting it up. He spun wheels as he drove to Kevins location. Kevin heard the dirtbike and started to run. Quick Draw was catching up shooting his gun as he chased him down. Kevin started to dodge the bullets that were flying towards him as he ducked behind a big rock.
"Dammit he could kill someone if he keeps this up." Kevin then saw Quick Draw as he went past him on his dirtbike. He started to turn around and Kevin took his chance he took aim and shot a beam at his hand hitting the gun.
"Dammit!" Quick Draw said as he stopped the dirtbike clenching his hand. "I'm gonna get you Kevin, just wait I will kill you." Quick Draw then left to go treat his injury.
"Man that was close. I better watch my back who knows when he'll come after me again. Kevin then got up and started walking to his house. He was walking on the road as he saw everyone staring at him. The same people starring, they always made him feel uneasy. He always felt like he was hated in his neighborhood. Kevin made it to his old home. It was a two story white house with a small porch made on the front lawn with a dog chain tied to the bottom. Kevin took a deep breath as he walked closer to his house. He walked silently onto the porch as he took a deep breath as he grabbed the door handle. He turned the knob and opened the door. "Hey loser's!" Kevin said as he entered the house. Everyone looked at Kevin as they stood up.
"What the hell, Kevin!" A boy no taller than Kevin with black hair and dark clothes said as he stood up from the couch.
"Hey Jake." Kevin said.
"Holy crap what are you doing back, the police finaly catch ya." A larger boy said as he stood up from laying on the floor. He was a little fat and slightly taller than Kevin. He had blonde curly hair and a big nose.
"No Dan, I came back on my own free will. You should no the cops can't catch me." Kevin said as he looked over in the dining room table to see his other brother with his head down looking at a pair of action figure sized dragons fighting each other on the table.
"Hey Kyle, get out of your little world and pay attention." Kevin said as his oldest brother stood up. This one was much taller than the other's. He was twice the size of Kevin although very skinny. Kyle was about 6' 11" where Kevin was only about 5' 9". He had bushy blonde hair that he tied down with an American flag bandanna. He had big hands and huge feet, and always had the same stupid smile on his face.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Kyle asked as he walked over punching his brother in the arm. Lucky for him it was his metal arm as Kyle grabbed his hand from the pain.
"Nice one dummy." Kevin said as he walked to the kitchen opened the fridge and took out a soda from inside. "Well I came home to pay a visit to mom. It's her birthday soon, but of course you guy's probably forgot." Kevin then took a giant drink from the can crushing the can when he was done. "And I came to get a few things and visit my old master."
"You mean that old fart up the street?" Jake said.
"Hey that old fart could kick your ass." Kevin said as he put his backpack down. He then let out a high pitch wistle. Seconds later you could hear the fast pitter patter of nails hittng the hardwood floor. Just then a medium sized black dog, came rushing towards Kevin as he jumped up and tackled him to the ground.
"Oooff. He boy, hows my dog doin." Kevin said as he pet his dogs head as he was licked like he was a lollipop. "OK, OK, I missed you too Max." Kevin then got up as Max stood there wagging his tail fast enough to be a fan. "Common boy you hungry." Kevin said as he walked to the edge of the kitchen seeing max's food bowl was dirty. "Man don't you guy's ever clean this thing." Kevin then took the bowl to the sink as he cleaned it off. He put it back on the round and filled it with dog food and water. "There you go boy." Kevin said as he pet his head as Max started to eat his food. Kevin then walked up the stairs to his old room. "Hope you guy's didn't go in while I was gone." Kevin said as he put his hands together.
"How can we, you got it sealed from the freakin inside." Jake said. Kevin then placed his hands on the door as you could hear something heavy move from the door. Kevin then opened the door as he saw his room was the same as he left it, clean. He walked in a looked around he saw that everything was still in place. He then moved over to his bed post and placed his hands together and placed them on the wall. The wall moved out of the way as Kevin's secret hiding spot was revealed showing a picture of Kevins mom in a picture frame. He looked at it and smiled as he put it in his backpack.
"You know she would still be here if it wasn't for you." Jake said with anger in his voice. Kevin got angry at this and quickly swung around punching Jake in the face with his real hand as to not hurt him too much.
"Shut the hell up Jake." Kevin said as he turned back to his secret spot as he took a few more memmentos from the wall including more pictures and an old pendant of a lion's head. Kevin put this around his neck. He then walked back downstairs. Kevin made it back to the licing room as everything went black. "Dammit Dan you cant wait five seconds without messing with me can you." Kevin said as he took a deep breath and walked over to the TV remembering where everything was so he wouldnt hit them. He then loomed over the Gamestation as he lifted up his metal hand. "I'll do it." Kevin said. It took a few seconds but Kevin started to see again. 'That's better." Kevin then walked back into the kitchen and opened a cupboard. He saw all his mother's cook books and started to put them in his backpack. He then took a look at one book. "Cooking for Dummies" "Yeah you guy's could probably use this." He then put it back in the cupboard. He took a look at the clock on there microwave and saw that it was six o'clock. "Man that time already better check in." Kevin said as he took out his communicator and hit the button to get a hold of the Titans. Robin answered his communicator and saw Kevin.
"Hey Kevin, checking in?" Robin asked.
"Yeah, don't want you guy's to worry about me. Just to let you know I made it here alright and that I'm doin good. Is Raven there?" Kevin asked as Raven answered her communicator. "Hey Raven." Kevin said.
"Man who's the babe." Dan said behind Kevin. Kevin taped him in the stomach. "Oooofff." Dan getting a little wind knocked out of him.
"Who's that?" Raven asked.
"That's Dan my brother." Kevin told her, he then movved around to show her the other's. "The tall guy is Kyle, and the one in all dark is Jake. There my brother's. I would show you my sister, but she's not home." Kevin said as he went back to a better spot so the other's wouldn't see his conversation.
"You have a sister too?" Raven asked surprised.
"Yeah, big family huh." Kevin said as he took a seat. "Well I didn't want you to worry about me so I thought I would check in how are the other's?" Kevin asked.
"Everyone's doing great, just try to get back soon OK." Raven said.
"Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I can. Can put one of the other's on?" Kevin asked.
"OK." Raven then told one of the other's to pick up there communicator. The first one to respond was Cyborg.
"Sup Cy, what you up to man." Kevin said.
"Nuthin much just woopin Beast Boy in a couple of games." Cy said.
"Well just wait till I get there, we'll see who get's wooped." Kevin said. "Well put someone else on I wanna talk to everyone before I go." Kevin said. The next person to answer was Starfire.
"Hello friend, are you doing well?" Starfire asked.
"Yeh I'm doing OK." Kevin said.
"Man how many babes do you live with?" Dan said behind Kevin.
"Man your like a freaking snake." Kevin said as he got up from his seat.
"Who is that?" Starfire asked. "And what is a babe." Starfire asked.
"A babe is something you call a really good looking girl. Guy's mostly say it. and to answer your other question that's my brother Dan. The other two are Jake and Kyle." Kevin said repeating himself feeling he was gonna have to do this a little more.
"Those are the no good brother's you talked about." Starfire said. Everyone heard this comment and stood up.
"Um yeah, so can you get one of the other's." Kevin said as the next person to answer was Beast Boy and Terra was next to him.
"Wassup Kev." Beast Boy said.
"Sup BB just thought I see how you guy's were doin. Terra doin OK?" Kevin asked just to make sure. Kevin had a very cautios nature when it came to other's.
"Yeah she's doin allright." Beast Boy said.
"Man babes everywhere." Dan said looming over Kevin again, obviously talking about Terra. Kevin just gave up and left his brother alone.
"Before you ask that's my brother Dan, the guy in black is Jake and the tall one is Kyle." Kevin said.
"Those are your brother's?" Terra asked.
"Yeah I'll tell ya about them when I get home." Kevin said. Max then barked as he was next to Kevin. "And this little guy is Max, my dog." Kevin said rubbing his head.
"Awwww thats such a cute dog." Terra said.
"Hey I can be cute." Beast Boy said as he changed into a puppy.
"Common Beast Boy don't be jealous." Kevin said. "Well hey thought I would say hi. Guess I'll see you guys in a few day's." Kevin then put his communicator away.
"Man you live with all those chick's. Probably don't even go out with them." Jake said.
"Well for your information, I am. Dan saw her the first girl, she's Raven." Kevin said. "And I'm part of the Teen Titan's. I've actually been doin something with my life, unlike you guy's." Kevin said. "Well i'll see you guy's later I aint stayin here tonight." Kevin then went outside and started to head up the street. He didn't have to walk long as he got to the house he was looking for. It was the same size of his house only it was brown instead of white. He walked up to the door and knocked. An old Oriental man holdin a bamboo cane in his hand answered the door.
"Kevin? Where have you been all the's years." He then opened the door wider to let Kevin in. Kevin walked inside taking his shoe's off.
"Hello Master Hwang. I came to visit." Kevin said. Just then Master Hwang took his cane and slapped Kevin on the back. "Ouch!" Kevin said holding the spot whee he hit.
"You are a terrible student. You don't keep in contact with me for four years, and then just come back all of a sudden. Give me fifty pushup's." Master Hwang said.
"Yes sir." Kevin then started to do his pushup's.
"So how have you been Kevin?" Master Hwang asked.
"I have been doing good sir." Kevin then finished his pushups and stood up. "I'm a superhero now." Kevin told him.
"What's so super about you, you havn't come around for four years. You didn't even finish you training." Master Hwang said.
"Well sir I came to visit for a little bit and thought maybe would could pick up where I left off. I have been practicing though." Kevin said.
"Well I don't see why not. You were always my favorite student." Master Hwang said.
"I was your only student sir." Kevin said. "Also I was wondering if I could stay here, because I don't wanna stay at my house."
"Well I don't see why not. You can stay in the guest bedroom." Master Hwang said.
"Thank you sir. I'm actually pretty tired, so is it OK if I go to sleep now?" Kevin asked.
"Well...I guess but your training startes very early so get as much reat as possible." Master Hwang then went into the kitchen. Kevin headed for the guest bedromm and flopped onto the bed.
"Man, I'm gonna get worked like a dog tommorow." A smile then came across Kevin's face. "Sweet."
Well there's the next chapter and I told you there were a lot more questions. Well enough chatter but sorry no reviews sadly. Man I feel alone.
