I do not own the Teen Titans. So...how are things...Alright top notch, top notch. Anywway's here's a Random Chuck fact: Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement. Now the chapter.
Chapter 5: What are you doing here!
Everyone woke up to a new day. Kevin felt a little better, everyone was a little more cheery, and half the tower had heartburn from Kevin's chili last night. Kevin fixed himself a bowl of the leftover chili for himself for lunch. He took a big wiff of the cilli with a smile on his face. Raven had gotten herself a bowl as well as she sat next to Kevin.
"How can you two eat that. I thought my tounge was going to burn off." Robin said.
"Hey I grew up eating this stuff, and besides it could be spicier." Kevin said as he took a giant spoonfull.
"My stomach still feels like it's on fire." Terra said.
"Silky doesn't mind it." Raven said.
"That's because he'll eat anything." Beast Boy said, eating an antacid.
"Starfire seems to be doing fine. So Starfire how do you like my chili?" Kevin asked.
"Yes it is rather hot, but my stomach's are fine." Starfire said eating some of the chili herself.
"Whoa whoa whoa, did you say stomach's?" Kevin asked confused.
"Yes, Tamaranias have nine stomach's." Starfire said.
"Wait someone that looks like you has nine stomach's?" Kevin said.
"What's that supposed to mean." Raven said lifting up an eyebrow.
"Oh, it's nothing like that, I just find it wierd that she has nine stomach's." Kevin said trying not to dig himself into a hole. Raven looked at Kevin before she went back to eating. "So what are we doing today?" Kevin asked.
"Well, we finished training for today, I plan on doing somemore invetigating on Slade, see if we can't pinpoint his location." Robin said. A few seconds later the alarm went off.
"Or we can stop whoever's trying to blow up the city." Kevin said standing up from the table.
"So who is it this time?" Cyborg asked.
"Looks like it's Johnny Rancid." Robin said after going to the computer to get some info on what happened.
"Great robot boy." Kevin said in a sarcastic tone. "Well let's get this over with." The Titans headed out of the room and out into the city to stop another feeble attempt to destroy the city.
Johnny Rancid was on his motorcycle controlling three T-Rex bots. The T-Rex bots were destroying everything in there paths. Johnny was laughing the whole time this was happening, just enjoying the destruction.
"Hold it right there Johnny." Robin said with his bostaff out ready to attack.
"Well if it isn't the bird boy and his friends. You were lucky last time. Attack!" Johnny yelled as the T-Rex bots went straight after the Titans. The Titans moved out as Beast Boy turned into a T-Rex and attacked the first one that reached them. Cyborg and Terra were dealing with another one. And Raven, Kevin, and Starfire were fighting the third. Robin had gone after Johnny who was fleeing on his motorcycle. Robin had been keeping pursuit by throwing grenades at Johnny Rancid slowing him down a bit. The other Titans wern't having an easy time as Robin. These things were big and viscious, and they could take a beating. Everytime Kevin or Stafire would hit it with one of there energy attacks it would just run threw them. Raven had hurled a few cars at it that stunned it for a second but still didn't dtop it.
"I need a bigger weapon than my arm." Kevin said as he placed his hands together and put them on a car. The car started to melt into a giant Buster sword. The blade was a good 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. The handle was two feet long so Kevin could get a good grip. "There we go." Kevin said as he adjusted his stance so he could hold the sword better. He then lept into the air as he attacked the T-Rex bot. He gave it a good slash as it bottom jaw was cut off, nearly severing his whole head. Somehow the bot was still moving as it swung it's tail at Kevin. He managed to fly to the side to dodge the attack as Raven pierced the bot's exposed parts with two lamp posts. Sparks flew from it mouth as the beast kept comming. Starfire hit the beast with another barrage of starbolts, these ones affecting him this time. The T-Rex was still up. Kevin then went in for another attack this one taking off the rest of the robot's head. It wobbled side to side as it finnaly fell to the ground.
"A little help over here." Cyborg said as he blasted the T-Rex bot with another sonic cannon blast. The other's quickly got to Terra and Cyborg as the T-Rex hit the rock Terra was floating on. Terra started to fall and she couldn't get another rock in time to stop her from hitting the ground.
"Terra!" Beast Boy yelled as he quickly flew over to Terra as a pteridactly catching her before she fell.
"Thanks BB." Terra said as she got another rock and jumped on as she gathered the rocks that the T-Rex had made after destroying her previous rock. She hurlled them directly at it's head as he crashed into the side of a building. Cyborg then hit it with another sonic cannon blast drivinbg it farther into the building as Raven hurled a couple of boulders at it. Kevin then drove his sword into his chest as he brought it up cutting the robot in half. Beast Boy had then finished off the robot he was facing by bitting it's head off. Letting out a loud roar. Robin was still after Johnny as he quickly turned his motorcycle around to face Robin. He revved up his engine looking at Robin with a smirk.
"I'm gonna flatten you, then I'm gonna shovel you up and flatten you again." Johnny said as he let go of the breaks as his tires squeeled. He was getting closer and closer to Robin, but Robin stood his ground waited for the right moment. Right before Johnny had collided with him Robin had lept into the air as he placed his bostaff in front of Johnny's face. Johnny had no time to react as he was launched off of his bika landed on the pavement with a thud.
"Man we just keep getting lucky don't we." Robin said as he put his staff away. The police had come by and were hauling the still groggy Johnny Rancid away.
"Well that was fun." Kevin said as he threw his hand up into the air and spun the sword around his head placing it behind his back.
"Isn't that thing heavy?" Beast Boy asked.
"You tell me." Kevin said as he handed Beast Boy the sword. Beast Boy's then dropped on the ground like a lead weight.
"How in the heck can you carry this thing?" Beast Boy said holding his back.
"Make myself stronger." Kevin replied. Civilians were now comming around as the police started to drive away. "I'm hungry, let's get somthin to eat." Kevin said patting his stomach.
"Didn't you just eat before we left?" Cyborg said.
"Yeah, but remember fast metabalism, gotta refuel." Kevin said.
"KEVIN!" A teenager about the size of Kevin yelled as she ran at him grabbing him into a giant hug. Everyone was just looking at her confused untill Kevin got a look at her face.
"What the...Jess. What are you doing here?" Kevin said still confussed.
"I can't believe I found you." The girl said letting go of him. She had long red hair that fell to the small of her back. She had green eye's and was weaing a pair of red baggy cargo pants. She had on a blank Tank top and a pair of green Chuck's on. "I've been looking for you for a year now."
"Why?" Kevin asked still confused as to why she was here.
"I missed you and you never visited. Then when I went to Joe's he told me you were a Titan and I came here as fast as I could." Jess explained.
"Who is this?" Robin asked.
"This is my old friend Jessica. I met her about two years ago before I came to Jump City. I saved her life." Kevin said explaining his friend. "Hey we were about to get something to eat, you wanna come?" Kevin asked.
"Sure, I'm starving. I havn't had anything good to eat in day's." Jess said as all the Titans went to the pizza parlor down the street. The whole walk there Kevin and Jess had been catching up telling about all the things that have happened while they were away. Raven kept looking over at the two chatting away and was starting to get a little jealous. The Titans and Jess made it to the pizza parlor and got three large pizzas. One meat lover's one cheese, and one vegitarian. Everyone was just staring at Jess and Kevin as they devowered the whole chees pizza by themselves.
"Man I didn't think anyone could eat like Kevin, but boy was I wrong." Beast Boy said.
"How does she put all away." Cyborg said starring at Jess. Jess what quite small, but she compleatly devowered half a New Your style pizza by herself. And she was still hungry.
"I could go for some hot wings." Jess said.
"So Kevin care to tell us about your friend?" Raven asked.
"Oh yeah sorry. Well It's a long story but we got some time to kill. It started when I was about 14." Kevin said.
Kevin was flying around the dark town for a good three hours now before he decided to take a break on an appartment building. He kneelded down put his hands together and took a deep breath. He had to place his left arm a little farther back since his metal arm was still a little longer than his normal arm. He looked at his arm for a little bit then he looked at his palm and moved the fingers slowly just wondering how they did it.
"Why did you give me this thing. I wouldn't have cared for a regular fake. I mean people keep staring at it, and it makes me feel out of place. Not to mention everytime I go through a metal detector." He let out another sigh. "Man it's gotten pretty boring here the last week. Guess not much happens when there's a "super hero" around." Kevin then heard some footsteps behind him. He saw a kid maybe eight looking at him.
"Hey." Kevin said waving.
"How did you get up here?" the kid said.
"Flew." Kevin said nonchalantly.
"Hey wait your that guy on the TV aren't you?" The kid said pointing.
"Yep, and shouldn't you be in bed." Kevin said.
"Hey I'm eight I can stay up till nine when mom let's me." the kid said in a "as a matter of fact" tone.
"What time is it?" Kevin wondered as he took out his watch. "Man only seven. It's get's dark here early." Kevin said. "Hey kid know about any crimes I can stop." Kevin said in a joking manner.
"No." the kid answered.
"Ah I'm just messin. I'm a little bored. I mean ever since I've been here all the crimes have sorta stopped. Either that or I just don't know about 'em. I need somethin to do." Kevin then heard sirens as two police cars came flying by. "Finaly. Well I'll see ya later kid. Oh and stay in school and don't do drugs." Kevin said as he leapt of the building and began to follow the police cars. "Common bank robbery." Kevin said as he followed the cars. He saw some spot lights in the distance as he got closer. It just looked like another apartment building, there were a group of people looking up at the spot lights. Kevin looked and saw a girl on top of the building standing there. It was a girl maybe his age maybe a little older. The cop was talking on a loud speaker as he heard what was going on.
"Please come down. You don't have to jump. We can help you whatever it is." The policeman said. Just after he finished his sentence the girl jumped and started to fall to the ground.
"Crap!" Kevin yelled as he quickly flew to try and catch the girl before she fell. 20 feet before she hit the ground Kevin swwoped in and grabbed her. "Gotch." Kevin said as he started to fly up. He landed on the building and let the girl down on the roof. "Jeez are you alright. Why the heck did you do that?" Kevin said in a worried tone. He never saw anyone try and kill themselve's let alone save them.
"Why didn't you just let me fall." The girl yelled.
"Um because you would've died." Kevin said as he looked at the side of the building. He saw as the police started to come up the building. "Hey it sounds you you need someone to talk too. And I''m pretty sure if the police come up here they'll haul you off to some nut house. So you wanna go somewhere to talk. I know a great place." Kevin said in a soft tone holding out his hand.
"Why should I, you wouldn't even understand." The girl said.
"Well it's either stay and go to the looney bin, or come with me and get some free food. And trust me, I got some major issues compared to you." Kevin said. The girl looked at his hand and thought for a second. She didn't really want to go to an insane asylum. She grabbed his hand as he helped her up. "Now hold on tight." Kevin said as he started to fly off the ground, the girl slowly starting to fall. Kevin started to fly off as the police reached the roof. They stood there and saw Kevin fly off in the distance with the girl. Kevin was starting to gain speed as the girl looked down at the ground. She saw everything from where they were, all the lights, all the people. She was actually starting to enjoy herself. They flew for about an hour before Kevin slowly made his way to the ground. They reached a small dinner. The sign read Joe's. "Well here we are." Kevin said as he walked up to the door.
"That was amazing!" The girl said.
"What?" Kevin asked.
"Flying. How did you do that?" She asked.
"I duhno. Never really got how I do it." Kevin said as he opened the door. A bell chimed as the door opened and Kevin let the young lady enter before he.
"Were gonna close soon." A voice yelled from the back.
"Ah common you can stay open for me can't ya Joe." Kevin yelled. Just then a big Italian man came out of the back.
"Kevin. Good ta see ya again. Oh and I see we have a lady with us. Just ask and you got it." Joe said in a thick accent.
"Thanks Joe. Well you wanna sit down?" Kevin asked leading her to a table. They each sat down as the girl was still a little shy and looking away. "Well I guess we can start with each other's name's. I'm Kevin if you didn't guess from Joe." Kevin said holding out his hand. The girl looked at his metal arm and thought it was strange. She's never seen anyone with a metal arm before. Kevin saw what she was looking and switched hands. "Sorry about that, used to shacking with that arm." Kevin said.
"My names Jessica. My friends call me Jess." Jessica said shacking his hand.
"Well nice to meet you Jessica." Joe then came by the table.
"So what can I get you two lovely kids today." Joe asked with a pencil.
"Oh were not going out or anything." The girl said.
"Oh, well my apoligies, but hey your with Kevin so whatever you wants on the house." Joe said.
"Wow thanks, I guess I'll have a cheeseburger." Jessica said.
"I'll have the usual." Kevin said.
"Okay commin right up. Hey hun Kevin's here." Joe said as he left for the kitchen.
"So you wanna tell me why you jumped from that building? Maybe I can help." Kevin asked.
"I doubt you'll understand." Jessica said.
"Try me." Kevin said.
"Well my life is basically spiriling down. My parents are getting divorced after my dad cheated on my mom, my dog just died, and the one guy I was in love with broke up with me." Jessica said.
"That's it." Kevin said lifting his eyebrow.
"I knew you wouldn't understand." Jessica said.
"No no no, it's not that. It's just that you wanted to kill your self over just that. Listen I could've killed myself a lot longer ago if I was like you. You see this thing." Kevin said pointing at his arm. "Well you see your lucky you still have you parents. I don't know my dad, and my mom died in a car wreck that gave me this thing. Also where I lived not a lot of people liked me and I was picked on constantly. But about the boyfriend thing that I can't help ya with. I'm shy around girls." Kevin said.
"Then why are you talking to me?" Jessica said.
"Well I said I would talk to ya if ya wanted to so, I'm all ears. Besides I'm sweatin buckets over here." Kevin said as they both laughed a little bit. "You see you still have a lot to live for, why would you want to kill yourself? I mean yeah your parents are getting divorced, but hey you still have them both. And I'm sure they still love you, and they would miss you if you killed yourself. You shouldn't worry about your boyfriend either. I mean you can always find a better guy out there. And let me guess he was a jock and cheated on ya?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah how did you know." Jessica asked.
"Meh, lucky guess. But anyways the guy was probably a jerk and concentrated on sports more than he did on you." Kevin said.
"Yeah. Are you psychic or something?" Jessica asked.
"No I just know how jocks are seeing as I got beat up by them on a regular occasion." Kevin said.
"Wait your that guy from the news. You stop five armed robbers at the bank like three weeks ago. And your telling me that a bunch of jocks beat you up?" Jessica said.
"Hey I didn't want to use my powers on them, that whats my brother's would have done. And I don't wanna be like them. And I would've gotten in trouble. But I can understand your dog. I have a dog too and love the little guy. I miss him though so I know somewhat how you feel." Kevin said.
"Why have'nt you seen your dog?" Jessica asked.
"Well after the accident with my mom and the funeral, I kinda ran away from home. I feel like I caused my mom's death because it's because of my powers that she died." Kevin said hanging his head.
"What happened?" Jessica asked.
"Well I got really sick one day and she was taking me to the hospitol and I could'nt really control my powers and I shot an energy ball and it hit the tire of the car. It flipped and when I woke up three days later I found this thing and my mom was dying." Kevin explained. He never really liked talking about that.
"Well from the sound of it, it does'nt seem like your fault." Jessica said.
"Glad you think so, but tell that to every single person in my neighborhood." Kevin said. A tall women then came by and gave the two there food.
"Good to see ya again Kevin." The lady said hugging him.
"Good to see you too Sara." Kevin said.
"So who's this beautiful young lady?" Sara asked.
"My names Jessica." She said.
"Well it's nice to meet you. Any friend of Kevin's is welcome here." She said.
"So anyway's you wanna talk about everything it'll make ya feel better. Usually works for me anyway." Kevin said. Kevin and Jessica then sat and talk for about an hour.
"So why did they give us this food for free? That's really nice of them." Jessica asked.
"Well this kid here saved my life one day." Joe said walking over to the table with a couple of sodas.
"Really." Jessica said.
"Yep. One day I was leaving the dinner and some muggers came out of nowhere and tried to mug me. They started beating th crap out of me and then Kevin flew in and beat the crap out of them. You should've seen him. He was moving so fast you could barely see him. And those things he was shootin. Then right before they ran away one of em threw a molotov cocktail into my car and it burst into flames. Then right before it blew up, Kevin grabbed me and flew me into the air. So hey free food is the least I can give him for saving my life." Joe said.
"Wow that's amazing." Jessica said.
"Those guy's were cowards anyway. Well hey it's gettiong pretty late I should take you home." Kevin said as he stood up.
"Ok." Jessica said getting up.
"Good seeing ya again Kev, come by anytime alright." Joe said slapping him on the back.
"Later Sara." Kevin yelled as he waved.
"Bye Kevin." Sara said waving back.
"Well hold on." Kevin said holding out his hand. Jessica grabbed it and he started to fly back to her place. They got back and saw that the police were gone. "Well I guess this is goodbye." Kevin said as he turned around.
"Wait, come with me. You'll be able to tell my parents were I've been." Jessica asked.
"Well I guess." Kevin said a little nervous. They went up about three flights of steps before Jessica opened the door to her apartment. As soon as she went in her parents came out of what looked like a kitchen.
"Jessica, thank God your safe." Her mother said as she grabbed her in a big hug. "We saw what happened, why did you do that. We were so worried." She said finaly letting go.
"I'm sorry mom." Jessica said.
"And who's this?" The man said as he came out of the kitchen
"This is the guy who saved me. His names Kevin." She said.
"Um...Hi." Kevin said still alittle nervous.
"Thank you so much for saveing our daughter." The mother said hugging Kevin as well.
"Um...thanks." Kevin said.
"Where have you been?" The dad asked.
"Well after he saved me we went to a dinner and we talked for a little bit. Sorry about not comming home." Jessica said.
"As long as your safe we don't care." The dad said.
"Well I guess I'll be going. I gotta find a place to sleep." Kevin said as he started to turn around to leave.
"Wait. You can stay here. Please mom he ran away from home, he doesn't have anywhere to go." Jessica said.
"I don't know if I should." Kevin said.
"Nonsense it's the least we can do for saving our daughter. You can sleep on the couch tonight." The mom said.
"Wow thanks, that's really nice of you." Kevin said.
"No trouble at all. I'll get you a blanket." The mom said as she left. Later that night Kevin was sleeping on the couch a smile on his face. Jessica slowly made her way out into the living room she then walked over to Kevin and looked at him. He looked so peaceful laying there. She leaned in a gave him a quick kiss on the forehead.
"Thank you." Jessica said before she went back into her room.
"And that's how we met." Kevin said telling them about the first day they met. He told them everything except for the whole kiss on the forehead because he had no idea that had happened.
"We became great friends and then he left about two month's later." Jessica said.
"Yeah her parents made up and are still married. She got a new dog. And did you find anyone better than your loser ex?" Kevin asked.
"No not yet, but I have someone I like." Jessica said.
"Well hey that's cool. So you wanna come back with us to the tower? I can show you my dog Max." Kevin asked.
"Sure, if that's alright with you." Jessica said.
"Of course, any friend of Kevin's is most welcome." Starfire said. They all then left the parlor and headed back to the tower.
Well thats the end of that chaptah. And the next one will be up soon. So I will talk to everyone later so until then. Keep your eye on the skies. Oh and can you review that would be most appreciated.
