He could hear voices around him, but for some reason, the one that was monotone and flat; devoid of emotion caught his attention. "Robin, we need to find out why he's here. For all we know he could be an assassin." Robin turned to the boy lying on the med table. Lying there with his large body armor, he looked quite formidable. Beast Boy looked him over, "Dude whats with all this armor. Whats he supposed to do? Take on an entire army or somthing?" The boy stirred on the table and then shot upright. "EEEEEEK!" screamed Beast Boy as he fell backwards in fright. Marcus shook his head and groaned. "arrgh...thats it. I got to go easy on the grenades from now on." As he attempted to stand up, pain lanced through his side. Starfire floated over to him "Please. Do not try to move or you will make your injuries worse." Marcus stared at the Tamerainen, a nonplussed look on his face. "...Your floating...why?" he said, still staring at Starfire. She giggled and said Fear not. I am not human as you may have already guessed." "Whatever" Marcus said as he turned to Raven. "Who are you beautiful?" he asked with a slight grin on his face as his eyes quickly traveled over Raven's body. She was about to tell him to put his eyes back on her face when Robin and Cyborg came back into the room.
"Well it seems that your doing better." Robin said while shaking Marcus' hand. "The names Robin by the way." he said with a grin. "...Marcus. Nice to meet you." "OH HELLO NEW FRIEND MARCUS!!" Starfire cried as she squeezed him in one of her signature bone crushing hugs. "MY NAME IS STARFIRE!DO YOU LIKE MUSTARD?MAY WE BE FRIENDS? "Hello t-o you too! yes..to all...questions!" he gasped "But i need...AIR!!!" She let go of him, only to find her arm had a little blood on it. "What is this from?" she wondered aloud. All eyes turned to Marcus and the hole in his armor. A small stream of blood steadily flowed from the wound. "Shit." he muttered to himself. "She must have reopened the wound by accident." he said as he reached for his side and hooked a small latch. A loud hiss was heard and Marcus' chest armor seperated. The Titans gasped as they saw what was underneath the armor. Marcus' chest and back was a horrific scene of scars and wounds. Raven actually felt terrible seeing the teen. What kind of suffering he must have gone through to earn scars like that. She felt sick. It looked like he had had chunks of flesh ripped out, and then healed over but the gouges were still there. Marcus saw everyone's stunned reaction and chuckled. "Don't ask." he said. "The stories about these scars would terrify you and make you vomit." He looked around for a suture kit and found one on a tray. With no painkillers at all he began to stitch himself back up. "DUDE!" Beast Boy shouted, "How on earth did-" Raven gave him a death glare, "He already said he wasn't going to tell us."
"Uh Guys?" Cyborg said. "Y'all might want to take a look at this." As he motioned the Titans to follow him outside the med lab. "Whats up Cy?" Robin asked with a curious look on his face. "Its that dude, i got him on the survaillence tapes. He opened up his arm to reveal a holgraphic video. It showed Marcus in the basement being followed by what looked like dozens of men. The Titan's eyes grew wide as they showed him breaking cover and opening fire on them, most of them dropping to the ground dead. Some of the men managed to fire back and a small stream of blood flew behind Marcus as he dived while throwing a grenade through the nearly closed doors. "There's something about him that just makes me uneasy." said Cyborg. "Most people who take a shot where he did, would have probably hit the ground screaming in agony. He didn't even notice he had been shot!" Robin put up his hand to calm Cyborg down. "Take it easy Cyborg." he said in a level tone. "Anything else about him?" "Yeah. I analyzed the logo that was on the side of his armor." he paused. "And? What it is.?" Raven asked impatiently. "Its the logo for the property of the Armachem Weapons Corporation.'
