Chapter 1: A new face
A figure was falling toward the building. It's eyes were unafraid of it's fate. BAM.
Raven awoke with a start. Just then, a sound was over head, as if something fell from the sky onto the roof. Hard. Raven put on her cloak.As she did, she felt a weird presence
like she had never felt before. It wasn't human,animal, or machine. When she came out
of the room,she saw the other titan's walking toward the roof.She hurried to catch up.
When they got to the roof level, they all gaped. A crater the size of a car was on the roof.
In the middle was a bloody heap of flesh. Starfire hid her face in Robin's shoulder. The
blob stood up. It appeared to be a male. It's head was busted open. Bones were protruding every-where.Blood covered him. But they were really shocked when the skull
healed itself,the protruding bones were realigned, and the blood went back into the body.
When the figure turned around,and the titans saw the most handsome teen they had
ever seen. He appeared shocked by their presense.He said something in German, but the titans couldn't understand what he was saying. Raven could understand him,
however, and and asked him in German if he spoke English.The figure then said in flawless English," I'm sorry, but can you please tell me where I am?" Robin looked
shocked, but qiukly recovered," Your in Jump City." The teen nodded in acknowledgment.
" Thank you. Umm, would you happen to be the teen titans? A friend of mine kind of asked me to join you.Not right away of course." Beast boy,Cyborg,Starfire,and Raven
looked at The boy wonder expectantly. " What is your name?" The teen simply
replied," Sin." While Robin and Sin were talking, Raven noticed a mark on the side of
neck. She also felt that this teen wasn't human. Finally,she couldn't resist asking,
"What is that mark on your neck?" The boy answered," The ouroboros tatoo."Raven
went a step further," I'm sorry for so many questions, but, what are you?" The boy
smirked,"So you can sense it huh. Do you know what a homunculus is?" Raven
stood their shocked.She could only nod.The others looked puzzeled. Beast boy
asked," Raven, what is a 'homunculus?"Raven said,"Come inside. It's in one of my
books". Sin asked Robin," May I come in?" Robin smiled one of his winning smiles.
"Sure.Raven said come in, didn't she. Besides, we have some questions for you.Sin
nodded, and followed Robin down a flight of stairs to the common room.
When they arrived, Raven was walking to the common room with a huge
ancient looking book. " This book says," Homunculus were discovered by the alchemist
Parcelsus,or at least the concept. The theory states that homunculi are created by amassing the elements of a human equal to the desired height,age,sex,and features,
along with skin particles,teeth,or hair to give the homunculus the desired DNA.The
homunculus usually takes after a trait it is named after.If it is named after a person,
it will not react, but remain as a vegetable.Sample traits are, Peace,Love,Lust,Greed,
ect. Usually has a special power. Howerver,this theory has never been proven."
With that, Raven closed the book." That's all this book contains on homunculi.That
means that you can't possibly be a homunculus." Sin smiled,"Wrong. It says that it
was never proven,but only in this dimension." Cyborg looked questionly," Another
dimension? Is that even possible?" Sin nodded," Yes, but normal people can't go
to different dimesions. Even I didn't go willingly. In my world,there is a gate that can
only be accesed by powerful alchemist. That gate connects to all the worlds. I was
born of the gate seven different times. You see, I'm the seven deadly sins incarnate.
You know sloth,lust,greed,pride,wrath,gluttony,and envy. On the other side of the gate
they were all killed, but,we homunculi are very hard to kill. Only alchemist can kill us.
Anyway, on the other side of the gate, I was split seven different ways. I had seven
different personalities. I was seven different people." The team had blank looks on their
faces. Sin sweat dropped. Finally, Starfire broke the silence," So new friend Sin,what are
your powers?" Sin thought for a minute,"Hmmm, well I can show you tomorrow. Yawn,
but I'm kind of tired now.Robin, may I spend the night here?" Robin's quizacal face came
into play," You have no where else to go?" " None." " Hmmm, alright, you can stay."
" Thank you very much." "Do you mind sleeping on the couch?" Sin answered truthfully,
" I only need about an hour's worth of sleep. So I can sleep any where." The titans said
good night, and left to their rooms
The next morning,the team woke to something that smelled wonderful.
Starfire was the first up. "OHHHH, friend Sin. It looks DELISCIOUS!" Sin appeared to be
appreciated. "Thank you Starfire." The table was covered with food. Thier were eggs,omeletes,meats of all kinds, an avocada breakfast salad, and all manner of breakfast foods that fall under the catagory srcumptious.Cyborg was up next. When he
saw the table he sorta squealed,and sorta sighed, I'm in heaven." Robin was next.
He saw all his favorite breakfast foods and looked at Cyborg and Starfire. They shook their heads and pointed at Sin." Hey Sin, how did you know all my favorite foods?"
Sin replied," I didn't, I just had a bunch of time on mine hands.So I decided to make
breakfast for you as my thanks for you letting me stay." Robin then said to Sin," For
sins incarnate, you don't seem to be such a bad guy." Sin merely shrugged."The
gate said there would be side affects, but I don't know what might trigger them."Robin
stared for a few seconds, the commenced to stuffing his face. Raven walked in and
smelled herbal tea.Raven looked at Sin.Sin saw this look and said guiltily,"I'm sorry,
but I brewed a pot for myself. I saw your name on the box, and I would have asked,
but you were asleep.I made enough for every one." Raven shrugged and said," It's
okay.Just as long as I get some." Sin smiled.Finally,Beast boy came in. When
he reached the kitchen, he said," Do I smell avacado salad?" Sin nodded," Yahoo!"
But before he could dig in, the alarm rang out." Awww man." Beast boy whined.
Robin ran to a computer terminal and annouced," Doctor Light is down town
robbing the bank again.Titans,Go. You come too,Sin. You can show us you powers."
Sin nodded.Cyborg said," Uhhh, Robin, Sin can't fit in the car. Thier's not enough room."
Sin replied," I guess I can show you one of my powers now." Sin's feet began to glow.
As the light made it's way up Sin's legs, they took on the form of talons. In seconds,
he became an eagle. The titans looked shocked to see such a familiar power.Sin
saw their looks and said telepathically,"I can take on the form of any living thing,
including humans and animals." Whatever, let's go!"
