Chapter 2: A New Hero

Just outside Wayne Enterprise's

"Robin who the hell is that," Cyborg and the other Titans were waiting silently by the T-car and staring at the stranger with confusion.

"My friends this is the guy who opened up a can of whoop ass on the robots before we got there but he is in the city to join us," the Titans looked at the stranger and all of them thought very hard upon something.

"Robin," Raven droned "can I talk to you alone?"

"Sure what's up," he said as they walked.

"Remember 6 months Terra that ring a bell bird boy?"

"Yes I remember but with crime lately we could use a new member, besides he says he came all the way from New Orleans the least we could do is giving him a place to crash."

"Yes I suppose" Raven droned we will test him and I don't sense any deception either and get a check of his background."

"All right I'll do it" said Robin. "Gale I've decided we will test you but in the mean time get in the car man and let's go," and with that the Titans sped off to the Tower.

T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T (A/N this separation is Post's writer of These Black Eyes idea)

Titan's Tower:

I sat at the kitchen table as Robin screened me "So what are your powers Gale?"

"I'm a master at martial arts and can control the elements Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth and I'm a skilled swordsman," I answered as I drew my 5 foot long broad sword from my back and offered to him so he could see it himself.

"Impressive craftsmanship so how old are you,"

"Seventeen,"

"Join us for training in the morning and we'll se how you do" with that Robin walked off. "Yo dawg come play Halo with me and BB,"

"Sure but I got to warn you I kick ass at Halo,"

"Pf come and prove it little man," with that I sat on the couch picked up a controller and repeatedly schooled him and Beast Boy.

2 hours

"Damn you beat 23 times in a row I don't believe it,"

"You suck Tin man,"

"Shut you little elf because he killed you a lot more times than me," I chuckled under my breath as I watched to the wrestle with each other.

"They are most amusing are they not," I looked behind me to see the beautiful Tammaranian "Yes they are they remind me of my two brothers before," I shuddered. "Before what friend,"

"Well-," but I was cut off by an alarm

Beep

"Titans emergency downtown move Gale you come with us this is your chance to prove yourself where going ambush a drug deal lets go," I put on my cloak strapped on my sword and got in the T-car with Raven and Cyborg.

T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T

Downtown:

Some say patience is a virtue, but I say it is annoying I waited till I was called on but I could clearly already see from the building I was hidden on we were out numbered by 30 armed men when I heard "Titans Go," Robin quickly Jumped put of hiding a handful of birdarangs and disarmed 4 of them. That was my Q I jumped out of hiding and threw a right hook to the nearest man I found out cold then saw a man with a pistol aim at me so I rushed up and kicked the gun out of his hand and gave a roundhouse kick to the face knocking him out. Produced my sword used my power to dull it and struk the next man in the gut and struck a pose defensively as tree gunmen aimed at me aimed at me.

Bang

Bang

Bang

I twirled my blade deflected them Rata-tat-tat then used my power over fire to heat there weapons up they dropped almost instantly I took this opportunity knock each one of them out.

T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T

Robin extended his bo-staff and jabbed a thug in the gut and then smacked him in the head turned around at Cyborg and heard him yell "I got the sonic if you got the boom" with Robin knew exactly what to do and jumped over Cyborg threw an exploding disk as Cyborg shot it with his sonic cannon and it caused a massive explosion taking out at least 17 while the other finished with the rest off. Robin turned to me as sheathed my sword and said "Good job you really impressed me lets keep a hold on things till the cops get here and clean up," the eventually came and we all went back to the tower.

Titan's Tower

"Gale come here," I quickly obeyed Robin "What is it Robin," "I was going to wait for a while to see what you do but I already see you got what it takes to join us congrats," he says as he hands me a round yellow communicator with a T in the center

"Glorious welcome new friend,"

"Congratulations Gale,"

"All right dawg,"

"Dude this is awesome" said BB and the rest of them.

"Get some sleep trainings in the morning at 7 a.m. I slowly made my way to my temporary room with a look of satisfaction on my face.

T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T

Titan's Gym

"Gale me and you sparring now strictly martial arts no weapons or powers" I grinned at him accepting his challenge I stepped onto the sparing arena and struck a fighting pose as did he

"Okay ya'll I want a nice clean fight rules ring outs and pinning your opponent on there back are wins 3 2 1 fight," Cyborg announced we ran at each other Robin went to punch me I blocked it and swung at his head but he ducked and kneed me in the gut I stumbled back and regained a balance and did a flying kick to his face he caught my foot and spun me around and threw I flipped back and landed perfectly. I knew he was a lot more experience but I was faster he flew a flurry of punches at me and I dodged all of them and punched him in the face and then proceeded to pummel him that is till he caught my fist and threw me face first onto the ground I bled a bit turned around and uppercut twenty feet into the air but came sailing down a me foot first
