Chapter 2: Love at first sight
Out of the portal and over the ocean near a city at night, Danny figured this must have been the "Jump City" that he heard of. Danny didn't have time to register this place, only to keep away from the portal he just got out of. Once he looked back, Johnny came out on his motorcycle.
"Oh great…" The sarcastic superhero said.
"Get back here, punk!" Johnny 13 yelled out as he continues his chase on his flying motorcycle. "Take this!" He starts firing the gadget again.
"Gotta get out of here!" Danny said as he narrowly avoids the blasts. "Gotta get out of here before the Tama-whatever Frostbite warned me of finds-"
He can't finish his sentence in time, as one blast hits him in the back.
"Ack!"
The hit causes Danny to fall into the water.
At Titans Tower, Starfire has returned from her room to the couch. She's changed from her usual purple attire and into a pink bathrobe. Her hair is now in a towel wrapped around her head. Still feeling dejected, she takes the remote with her beloved Silkie next to her.
"Perhaps an Earth movie will help me feel better…"
She says this more to herself than to Silkie.
She pushes the remote.
"And now…" the announcer says on the television. "Time for the 10-hour Romance Marathon to begin!"
Starfire's not at all happy with the choice in movie she's found. She then turns off the television with the remote and gets up. She walks to the window and looks out.
"I think of how I do not belong on this world sometimes. What helps me alleviate those thoughts is when I am reminded of my wonderful friends. However, it is usually how I feel about Robin's opinion of me that helps me feel better." She says all this not to her worm friend, but herself. She has a smile on her face the entire time. "However…" That smile falters. "I am reminded that they have lives outside of being a Teen Titan. Those lives involve people who knew them before they became who they are. Maybe even…" She doesn't even finish the sentence.
She remembered something from her youth her guardian once said.
"I've heard there used to be Tamaranians with silvery white hair. I've heard that it was a beautiful sight that I often wanted to meet such a person. Though many of them left my homeworld due to feelings of being outcasts. Perhaps my chances of something more with Robin are as rare as such a hair color."
At this point, she felt something around her leg. Looking down, she sees Silkie rubbing against her leg in an attempt to cheer her up. She actually smiles and kneels down to pet her little friend.
"Thank you, Silkie." She stands up and looks a bit relieved. "I should not jump to such conclusions about Robin. Perhaps this "Barbara" is just a friend." She looks out into the night through the window. "I often looked out into space and wonder if I may find love out there. Perhaps it is here on Earth…"
Johnny has been circling around where Danny had fallen mere moments ago.
"Okay, if he's knocked out, he should have returned to human form by now. Or he'd have come charging at me. Where is he?" Johnny looked around, seeing nothing but open water and a nearby city. He shrugs. "Eh, he can't be that far gone. Since I'm here, I might as well check out the local sights."
With that, Johnny turns his bike in the direction of the city. Once he's gone, Danny peeks out of the water. Relieved with a sigh, he flies out.
"Glad he's gone." Danny then attempts to go intangible to get the water off, only for nothing to happen. "Uh oh. Not again…" Danny, tries to turn invisible. "Seriously? Still not see through?" He was worrying. "I gotta get that gizmo he took!"
Danny then raised higher and noticed something odd. Flying in closer, he sees the small island's sole building is indeed shaped like a T. His eyebrow raised in confusion at such a strange structure, but decided to pay no mind as his back turns.
Inside, the sole person inside it staring at him.
"It cannot be…" Starfire leans into the glass, her hands pressing on it. "A male Tarmaranian." She sees green eyes, a tan skintone flying, and that rare silver white hair she heard was so amazing to see in the outcasts. He looked very attractive. A smile then came to her face, then it grew. Her eyes widening, with what looks like cartoony pink hearts replacing them in an anime-like fashion.
The last time she saw an attractive member of her species was when she thought one was to be her betrothed. Now another one has appeared.
It's as if her concerns for not finding a romantic partner had been answered.
"It is as if a wish granting entity from the lamp of magic deserts has heard me!" She says as she turns away and holds her clenched hands close to her face. "I must meet this one!" She sees Silkie looking a bit concerned. "Do not worry, small one. I will only be gone for a moment." She turns to the sudden object of her affections, only for her to notice what she is wearing. "Oh dear. I am currently not looking, as the Earth boys usually call me, pretty and hot at the moment. I must get changed!"
In a complete rush, Starfire races to her room. There she takes off both towels and grabs a clean copy of her usual attire. Once the top, skirt and boots were on, next came her fingerless gloves and sole arm band. Not satisfied, she takes a comb and starts fixing her hair, then takes out a bottle of what appears to be perfume and sprays herself with it.
"This was a gift of the males from the city who send me the mail of fans. I was told it was to make women smell nicer to men. I never actually needed this until now." Seeing herself now looking her usual pretty self in the mirror, Starfire felt ready. "I believe the appropriate term is "looking good"!" Her arms extended out in an excited fashion, she flew out of her room. If one were to imagine her as a cartoon character, hearts would be following her. "Do not go far, new visitor! I am here!"
Reaching the door exit at the rooftop, Starfire looks out. The person she thinks is a Tamaranian is gone.
"Hmm, where did he go?" She asks, then sees a figure looking like him flying into the city. "Away I go!" She flies after him.
Danny couldn't believe it, it happened again. Last time, he was slowly losing his abilities while being unable to return to human form. Wondering if that's what's happening to him, once he's in this city, he finds a small alley that he lands in. He tries to turn back to human form. However, the rings dissolve as soon as they appear.
"Great… I'd like something to go right tonight…"
"Hello there, handsome one."
A female voice catches his attention. Turning to where the actual street is, Danny sees a slim female with her left arm on the building, pressed on it as she leans. Her right hand on her hip while she makes what looks like bedroom eyes.
A blush immediately formed on his face, and a small smile.
Really glad so many people faved and reviewed this already. Could use them for my other fanfic right now.
So, to answer The Brod Road, it will be a one-sided romance... but that's subject to change. And yeah, why are so many Danny Phantom and Teen Titans crossovers about him losing his family? It's another reason I wanted to do something more light-hearted.
