CHAPTER THREE

"Soooo, you live in a giant T and you run around in tights beating up bad dudes do I have that right?" Knives asked

"Yes you do" Cyborg informed

"And I am here why?" Knives asked

"Because you fought us than saved our leader and we think that's odd." BB answered

"Oh ya, now I think about it I should go I have some things to take care of." Knives was trying desperately to think of a way out of this.

"No you don't you only want to leave to get out of telling us about why you were with dr. light." Beast Boy was sure he was the only person that could see through Knives' lie.

"That may be so but I really do have some stuff to do." Knives knew what he said was a contradiction but didn't care.

"Stuff that you think is more important than saving people and stopping crime?" Robin was ready to hit Knives.

Knives couldn't answer that he thought it over and decided that his biasness could wait one more night. "I was learning, isn't that what an apprentice dose?"

"Don't toy with us!" Robin was pissed, he couldn't stand because he twisted his ankle when he fell and worst of all someone who was an enemy until a couple of hours ago had saved him.

"I'm not; I was really learning how he used light as a weapon and how I could do the same." Knives was calm even with robin shouting at him.

"And you buried us because?" Beast Boy was still having trouble getting his hair clean.

Dr. Light had a weapon that was vary powerful and he was more than happy to use it I saved you." Knives had done just that.

"You through a knife at me why?" Terra was being sarcastic.

"You were going to arrest me and I don't want to go to jail. but really it was a bluff if you didn't notice the blade was dull and the bullet was made of rubber so you could not get hurt basically I did that to intimidate you." Knives was answering all of their questions and was getting bored of it.

"So what you are saying is you're not a bad person but you do bad things?" Beast Boy was also sarcastic.

"If you consider saving robin a bad thing than yes." Knives answered Beast boy and got him in trouble at the same time.

Robin glared at beast boy he shook it off and turned to knives "how would you like to be a titan if you're not a bad guy?"

"Sounds fun." Knives needed a place to stay for the night but couldn't help but notice the disbelieving faces around him.

After a lengthy argument with his team knives was told he was going to be watched closely for awhile.

"okay but now that I think about it I do have some place to go" Knives said so after Robin assigned Beast Boy to him Knives and BB walked out of the tower

When they returned everyone stared at knives he now had a costume that was straight out of the renaissance, a cloak, leather vest, bracers, boots, gloves, and pants. "Did I overdo it?" knives asked noticing the disbelieving eyes.

"Why are you dressed like that?" raven asked.

"I thought I should blend in." Knives looked disappointed he had hoped for complements.

"You got a costume to blend in with us?" Cyborg was impressed with his desire to be friends.

"That is truly a sine of friendship yes friend robin?" Starfire was excited at the thought of another friend.

"Ya you could say that." Robin was not as confident in the new guy now that he saw this.

"Well I think it fits my personality well enough. And if I hadn't I would have been I walking target now I am a walking target among walking targets" Knives said.

The next day the titans awoke to fined Vash was a heavy sleeper so at noon they went to wake him up, Robin opened the door and five of the titans froze starring at knives, he was hanging from the ceiling sleeping. Raven however walked up to him knowing what he was and woke him up by saying gently "a bit theatrical isn't it?"

Vash didn't even startle he slowly opened his eyes and said "I'm a sucker for the classics" and walked down a wall on to the floor. "I can't seam to get rid of that habit."

"VAMPIER!!!" BB yelled making everyone wince.

"Yes?" Knives had gone through this before and if any of them would calm down they might have noticed how he was almost having a good time.

"YOU'RE A VAMPIER YOUR GOING TO SUCK MY BLOOD AND TURN ME INTO A VAMPIER!!!!" BB continued to yell but no one told him to be quiet, this seemed to be an appropriate reaction to what was happening.

"Actually I am a quarter vampire and I am not going to suck your blood."

"You can all relax he is not dangerous." Raven calmed them.

"Let's go to the common room and I'll explain all the details." Knives walked out of the room (while being given a wide berth by the others) and walked to the main room.

"My mother was a super powered civilian and my father was a half vampire they fell in love and had my brothers and me as I grew we realized I had inherited powers from my mom as my brothers had the only problem was we had also gotten my fathers… problem. So one day I met some one who moved to the place next to us and we became friends' he had super powers too that's why he's important to this story but we both had to keep it a secret from each other than one night we were walking home and we saw some girl being raped. As you could imagine we could not stand by and let this girl be taken ageist her will, we both used our powers… I haven't told you my power have I?" the titans shook their heads. "I can make weapons that I understand the mechanics of, swords are of Corse simple and effective when in the hands of a trained person, guns take some study but I was always fond of weapons so I knew most about guns by the time my powers manifested. Now on with the story and please keep in mind this is the short version. My companion and I ran to the aid of this young woman and beat up the bad guys than called the police later we told each other every thing we had not before, sadly after that we did not get along after that we each had two people in us one with powers and one without them, each with different personalities. To make a long-short version of a story short I moved out with some people that accepted me and crossed the country together learning all we could about ourselves each other and our powers." Vash ended his story quickly because Beast Boy was sleeping on Raven. He did say one more thing that jinxed them "you would think the alarm would have gone off by now wouldn't you?"

As the alarm went off the Titans glared at Knives because any time someone said something to that effect the damn thing went off.

"Dr. Light is out of jail and… HE'S ON HIS WAY HERE!!!" Robin was shocked, why would Dr. Light come to the tower?

"Damn how did he jet out of jail so fast and what is that he's in?" Beast Boy said with his mouth hanging open.

"That's the weapon he was going to use on you… he must have made it into a tank this is bad and that is a lot coming from me." Knives looked unsettled to say the least and it made them slower to react.

"Titans stop that tank!" Robin finally gave the order and the six full titans were ready to fight but Knives the half Titan was unsure because he didn't have a way of getting to the city he had flown on a rock with Terra to get to the tower and he wasn't positive he would get the same offer this time because she had complained of the extra weight.

"Knives to the roof now." The tone in Raven's voice implied that she would be shouting if she wasn't… like Raven.

Up on the roof Knives was weighting for a ride but every one had left but raven.

"So how are we going to get there?" knives asked.

"Can't vampires teleport?" raven responded.

"I am only a quarter vamp and it is hard for me to do that when I have not had blood in over a week." Knives responded.

"that reminds me how do you get your blood?" raven asked

"my girlfriend is my supply." Knives told her

"Gives you a reason to keep her happy doesn't it." Raven smirked

"we should get going." Knives changed the subject.
