I do not own the Teen Titans or anything related to them, however I do own this story and all of the non-original characters except for Isis, who I have been given permission to use by a friend of mine and all are copywrited. This means you can not copy the story or any of the characters or use them without permission from their original owners. Check out the mini-fics by my friend, Starfire Fury, called Teen Titans: Alpha Humor, they're mini-fics about these characters and they're really good and absolutely hilarious, so go read them!
Well I can't wait for you guys to review, so I'm going to post anyway :P But please do review, because if I don't get feedback, I don't know how to improve and I can't get any better ok? So please, please, please review. Thankies.
Teen Titans: The Alpha Five
Taiyou – Part 1
"Taiyou Hikari, get down here this instant!" Taiyou grimaced as he walked down the stairs. There was only one thing that tone of voice meant… Trouble.
"Have you cleaned your room yet?" Taiyou nodded at the rather frazzled looking woman before him. Her bright blue eyes looked him up and down, her light brown hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail. His younger brother, Leo was playing in the room next door and Taiyou's mother was trying to hold a conversation with someone on the phone. Taiyou could tell that she was slightly harassed as she nodded to him and he went to keep his brother out of her way.
Leo looked up at Taiyou away from his drawings.
"Is mommy angry?" Taiyou smiled.
"Only at the delivery man on the telephone." Leo smiled back as Taiyou went about helping him with his drawings. He looked at a group of stick people his brother was drawing.
"Who're they Leo?" Leo smiled back, pointing to his picture.
"Its us! See there's mommy, and daddy and me and you!" Taiyou smiled.
"I never realised dad had green hair." Leo giggled.
"I ran out of brown." Taiyou grinned and continued to draw a picture of their house as their mother watched from the living room door, thinking just how wonderful her two boys were.
"See you in a bit mom!" Taiyou called as he waited for his brother to put his coat on before going to play in the park round the corner.
"Ok, be back before the street lamps come on and remember, no powers!"
"OK!" Taiyou called back as he and Leo opened the door before racing each other down the road and around the corner to the park. Taiyou noticed the big grey clouds that hovered above them, but thought nothing else of it as he pushed his brother on one of the swings as he called out:
"Higher Taiyou! I want to go higher!" Taiyou smiled as he looked at Leo's giggling, smiling and happy face. They played together all afternoon, or so Taiyou had thought as it became suddenly a lot darker than before. He thought that he'd disobeyed his mother in not coming home before the street lamps came on, but as he checked his watch he saw that the street lamps weren't due to come on for about half an hour. He looked up to see the grey clouds from before were now black and a lot bigger than when they'd first reached the park. As small drops of rain began to fall, Taiyou tapped his brother's shoulder.
"Time to go home now Leo."
"Awwww, ok." He helped Leo to fasten his jacket and held his hand tightly as they ran to the park gates; the small rain drops had quickly become sheets of rain.
"Where do you think you're going?" Taiyou stopped in his tracks and Leo bumped into him before hiding behind Taiyou. A group of menacing looking young men looked down on them, surrounding them just outside the gates to the park.
"What do you want?" Taiyou asked, having to shout against the rain. The men looked as if they couldn't have long been out of their teens, but Taiyou didn't really think about how old they were, just getting away from them. With out warning one of them swung for him and he had to push Leo to the ground to get away from the punch. Quickly enough a fight ensued, mainly the group hitting and clawing at the two young boys.
Taiyou fought tooth and nail to keep them away from Leo, he was about to encircle them in a ring of flames to make them go away when he seemed to hear his mother's voice in the back of his mind calling out: '…remember, no powers!' so Taiyou didn't use his powers. He kicked, punched and tried to push away so that he and Leo could run away, but one of the strong men pushed him to the floor so hard he hit the concrete pavement with a sickening crack as pain surged through his right arm – at that instant he knew it was broken.
A car with its headlights blaring seemed to scare the men away and Taiyou did his best to crawl to Leo, who'd fallen to the floor with a whimper, as they'd run away. Taiyou carefully turned Leo over, his face that Taiyou remembered had been smiling just minutes ago was cut, bruised and swollen.
"Leo, stay awake. Stay awake buddy!" Taiyou cried anxiously as he cradled his little brother in his uninjured arm. He knew it was important for Leo to stay awake, especially if he might have banged his head. Someone got out of the car that had scared the men away and Taiyou heard footsteps coming towards them. He didn't care now that he shouldn't talk to strangers, his little brother was hurt!
"HELP! HELP! MY BROTHER'S HURT! HELP!" Taiyou shouted against the rain as a figure came up to them, a young woman who's face looked familiar and Taiyou recognised it as the girl who lived in the house a few doors down from them.
"Please help, Leo's hurt!" He said frantically as the girl nodded.
"Its ok Taiyou, I saw what happened, we have to take you and Leo to hospital straight away." Taiyou nodded,
"But mom and dad-"
"Don't worry, I'll ring them when we get there."
Ooooooooo what's going to happen? Well go and review and I'll tell you :P
