Disclaimer: I do not own TeenTitans, only Tobias
A.N. hey everyone this is my first fanfic, everyone whos read it has liked it but if you don't let me know so I can make my next one better.
Tobias had no past he knew nothing beyond what he saw around him. His eyes searched the ally he was laying in this was Gotham city he some how knew but didn't know how. He crawled out onto the sidewalk wearing nothing but his skin, he stumbled around until he bumped into a woman who took one look at him and screamed. He fled supposing it was his naked ness that had caused her to scream, but what happened next is what bothered him a police officer approached him holding a night stick loosely in one hand. The officer asked him his name and what he was doing, when he didn't answer the man tried to cuff him, the next thing Tobias knew the officer was on the ground cradling a broken arm. In panic Tobias saw a fire escape above him he jumped up caught the ladder and climbed to the roof top, he stood there breathing heavily when one of the shadows around him detached itself from the others and swung down at him. Then it all went black.
Tobias awoke and sat strait up, after a moment he looked around, he was in an immense cavern easily the size of Madison square gardens. He then spied a set of clean cloths on a table next to the bed a white t-shirt, plain blue jeans and a pair of tennis shoes, after dressing he looked around a little more it was odd he could swear the lights were off and that it was totally dark in this place yet he seemed to be able to see perfectly sound behind him caused him to whirl around, suddenly a door opened and the cave filled with light. The light burned and he threw hi hands over his face to shield his eyes, then a voice said "Robin hand me those glasses" and he felt a powerful grip remove his hands from his face and replace them with something hard and plastic.
"Its alright" said a younger sounding voice "open your eyes", Tobias did as he was told and slowly opened his eyes, to his surprise he found the light didn't hurt anymore. Before him stood two masked figures one was fully grown dressed all in black with a cape and a horned mask that had pitiless eyes, the other was considerably younger and wore an array of colors, his mask didn't cover nearly as much of his face but the eyes were just as pitiless.
"What's your name"? The big one asked in a harsh tone,
"I don't know" Tobias said slowly and clearly, this didn't seem to satisfy the man he was about to question Tobias further when the small one spoke up.
"Bruce let him come stay with me and the Titans I mean he's just a confused kid with nowhere to go". He said, Bruce as he seemed to be called looked at the boy,
"Let him go"? He scoffed "he violently assaulted an officer then tried to flee the Sean he'd be long gone if we hadn't been there". The boy who Tobias could only assume was Robin looked at Bruce with an expression he couldn't place,
"Bruce look at him" he said "we found him half crazed and naked in the hart of Gotham city, hell he doesn't even know his own name Bruce"! Tobias could stand it no longer,
"Excuse me" he said quietly "but who the hell are you and for that matter where the hell am I"? They stopped arguing and looked at him.
"Did you get smacked on the head or something man "? Asked Robin "I mean don't you recognize us"?
"No" said Tobias "should I"?
"I guess not" Robin laughed "you don't even have a name after all, do you know anything about yourself"?
Tobias thought hard and then suddenly it came to him "Tobias, My names Tobias. But that's all I can remember no last name no history nothing", Robin stared at him for a second then shrugged.
"Well Tobias my names Robin and the statue here is Batman, me and my friends have a big tower down in a place called Jump city if you've got nowhere else to go your welcome to stay with us"
"Hold it Robin" Batman interrupted "im still not to keen on letting him go, much less to go live inside the Titan headquarters".
"Bruce" said Robin "you have nothing on him and besides it was you who decided to bring him here instead of strait to the police station. Plus if he makes any move against us Cye'll crush his skull".
Tobias didn't know who or what "Cye" was but he liked this Robin and some deep instinct was telling him to go,"what are the Titans"? He asked, Robin looked at him then said
"You'll see" then he turned his back and started towards the door, half way there he stopped and looked over his shoulder and said "you coming"?
Tobias took one last look at Batman made up his mind and ran after Robin.
Outside Robin led him over to a large garage door "just a sec" he said opening the door, when Tobias looked inside his eyes widened in amazement the entire garage was filled with motorcycles! Robin walked over to the one closest to the door and wheeled it out onto the asphalt, then he turned to Tobias and said "pick one".
"What" he said shocked, Robin laughed
"Go ahead take any one you like, Bruce wont even notice hey why don't you consider it payment for your rude welcome".
Tobias walked all around the garage looking at all the bikes, in the end he chose a huge black Harley with lots of chrome plating, he pushed it outside and set it next to Robins. Robin looked it over,
"Nice choice man"he said "wait you do know how to ride don't you"?
"Yea I know but I have no idea how I know" Tobias answered he just couldn't understand it, why did he know all the things an everyday person would know plus he knew plus he was sure he knew a few things very few people knew. Yet all he knew about himself was that his name was Tobias. "Its so damn weird Robin, I know all these things I couldn't possibly know, I have no idea how I hurt that cop so easily and top that I just realized that fire escape ladder I jumped up and grabbed must have been te fucking feet above my head"!
Robin just smiled "look man me and gang have seen some of the weirdest shit imaginable, hell were pretty damn weird ourselves so don't sweat it you'll get on with us fine".
Tobias didn't answer he was thinking about something that had been bothering him for awhile "Robin what time is it"?
"Eleven o clock" he answered
"Am or pm"?Tobias persisted
Robin looked at him like he was nuts "cant you tell for yourself I mean its pitch black out here".
Tobias smiled as the truth dawned on him "I thought so" he said "I can see in the dark", he reached up and removed the heavily tinted glasses Batman had given him, he had been right the entire world was light up as if the sun were out. The only apparent light was the one in the garage and he found this one didn't burn like the previous one did.
"Jesus" Robin whispered "your eyes are totally wicked"
"What do you mean"? Tobias asked curiously
"Man you really don't know anything about yourself do you"? Robin said laughing sightly
Tobias shook his head "I told you nothing I don't even know what the hell I look like for Christ's sake" he said laughing too.
"Well there are plenty of mirrors back home, so I say forget about what you don't know and just stick with what you do you'll find out about yourself soon enough".
The simplicity of Robins statement made Tobias think "yea your right" he said "I need to forget about it and go with what I got" he stared at Robin the more he talked with him the more he grew to like him, He seemed kind but looked like he could take care of himself and others.
"Come on"said Robin "lets get the hell out of here"
"Yea I cant wait to meet your friends" Tobias answered eagerly as he mounted his new bike and kick starting the engine.
Then they were off riding through the night like bats out of hell, Tobias couldn't believe the sensation of riding on the motorcycle, the bike seemed to be an extension of his body, it felt like a part of him like he belonged on it.
Having long ago shed the glasses Tobias made full use of his strange ability to see through the blackness taking in every new sight that passed. He was thinking about what Robin had said about his eyes what did they look like that made them so strange, and for that matter what did he look like period? He looked over at Robin cruising along beside him, Robin was of regular had spiky black hair and looked to be lean and well built. Robin had since changed out of his brightly colored uniform and into a white t-shirt and black jeans. Like Tobias Robin seemed to belong on his motorcycle though while Tobias rode a Harley the bike equivalent of a muscle car, Robin was riding a sort of supped up speed bike. Tobias noted that although Robin had changed clothes the black mask still covered hie eyes.
It must have been 2:30 in the morning when Robin stopped his bike at the end of a long bridge he turned to Tobias "my friends and I's tower is just on the other side of this bridge on the island, follow me" he gestured for Tobias to follow him. They crossed the bridge and Tobias parked his bike next to Robins and looked up at the huge T shaped tower looming up before him.
"Home sweet home" said Robin "come on ill put you in your new room" Robin led him up some stairs and through a gigantic front door then they took an elevator to the top floor. The elevator doors opened "everyone else is asleep so be quiet when you walk through" he said as they entered what seemed to be the living room. Tobias followed him through the house he marveled at his own stealth, he made absolutely no sound as he walked through the darkness, which of course gave him no trouble. Robin stopped at a door on the left side of the hallway
"This room's empty we use it for guests but I think you'll want to stay" then he suddenly yawned "man am I beat" he said "I gotta hit the sack, but tell you what tomorrow well go to the mall and get you some real clothes ok"
Tobias laughed "yea great, night man" he watched Robin walk away leaving him alone in the dark hallway. He opened the door and walked into the room, Robin had been right this was a guest room it contained only a bed, dresser, and empty closet. Tobias removed his shirt and shoes then lay down on the bed but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't fall asleep, so he lay there in the dark eyes closed lost in thoughts of himself as he tried to unravel his shrouded past.
