A Fear, a Grim, and a Reaper

Fear's Not So Bad

Fear, as Beetlejuice, laughs as cars pass through him, the people inside screaming. Currently he's on a bridge, flying into the paths of cars, and luckily for the people they only swerve slightly.

He becomes confused as suddenly there's no more vehicles, "Fear what're you doing here?" he turns and stares at the titans a second before leaning back to float on his back.

"Just doing what I like, scaring folks." Fear notes with a smile as Cyborg's looking elsewhere at the moment, "what are you doing here?"

"We're here for a real threat, so go scare people somewhere else."

"Can't help it if just scaring isn't a threat, besides what other threat." Raven points and Fear turns around to gawk at the flock of monster moths.

"No way they came from me… I don't even know what they are. Can't become something I've not seen, and the animals I become are just zombie-fied versions." the titans blink for a second at his statement then as the moths begin to eat at the bridge move to stop them.

Fear stays where he is and looks around, he thinks to himself then begins to growl.

Cy turns ready to blast a moth when it's suddenly caught in a spider's web. "These guys are ruining our fun." the half robot man blinks as Venom from Spiderman walks up to the moth.

"So just this once, we are going to help you guys."

"Do you have to talk like that?"

"side-effect of our transformations." with that Fear launches himself into the air and as he falls shoots more webbing.

In a matter of minutes all the moths are defeated or have left. The titans stand in front of Venom as he finishes tying up a moth. "You know, you could easily become a hero."

"Yeah, Batman scared the criminals, so could you?"

Fear turns to them, "we're sorry but at the moment we just wouldn't fit in even your world. We is too different, and you wouldn't like how we got our powers if we told you." Fear returns to normal and begins to walk away, "scare you later Titans."

Reaper yawns and walks down a hallway in titan's tower. Currently he is wearing additional clothes to his armor; grey wristbands, leg bands, head band, another band on his tail, a black shirt under the armor, and a white cape on his back.

He finishes putting a watch on his wrist and opens the door to enter the main room. He pauses once in as Robin and Starfire stare at the com screen. "I will release the moths again, and more of them, unless Robin agrees to take this charming girl to prom."

Kitten appears on the screen and wiggles her fingers in a wave at Robin, "hi Robbie-poo!" Reaper tightly clamps his mouth shut to avoid laughing as Starfire turns to Robin.

"Robin who is this girl, and why does she call you poo?"

"I don't know Star?" he answers, just as confused as she is.

Starfire turns and attempts to answer the blackmail, "Robin accepts. Name the location and Robin will fight you."

Reaper covers his mouth with his hand as Robin sighs at her response. "Uh Star it's not a fight, it's a date."

Star gasps and turns back to the screen, "Robin does not accept!"

Reaper's laughter goes unnoticed as Robin grudgingly 'asks' to take the girl to prom, and Starfire blowing a fuse.

Star sits on the couch fuming as Robin leaves to get ready. Reaper, laughter calming down to chuckling, sits next to her.

"Hey here's an idea, you go to the prom and give Robin back up."

"I can not, the other titans are trying to locate the location of the moths. I have been told to help them."

"Nonsense Star, I'm part of the team remember. I may not know what's going on per say, moths are an enemy at the moment, weird. But I'll go help and you save Robin from the creepy, poo-nickname-giving, girl."

"I do not even have a proper dress for such an event."

"No problem, dad taught me how to materialize clothes out of nothing." with a wave of his hand, Reaper produces a dress and hands it to Star. "There you are, and Robin will probably get a nose bleed when he sees you in this."

"Why would his nose bleed when he sees this?"

"I don't really know. Guy's noses just bleed when they see a pretty girl they like, in dresses like that." Reaper finishes his statement with a shrug.

Starfire gives Reaper a bone crushing hug then runs off to get ready. Reaper pops a few of his bones back into place and stands to leave himself.

Killer Moth stares at the energy gathering in Reaper's hand, as it is pointed at him. The energy disappears as Reaper's attention turns to a moth as it lands on his arm.

He blinks as more land on him and begin to bite on him. The three titans and the villain watch as yellow streams of light begin to emit from the pile up. The light disintegrates the moths and reveal a now blonde hair, teal eyed, Reaper.

At the sight of his glare, Killer Moth raises his hands in surrender, "I give up." an explosion and Killer Moth turns to see his machine has been destroyed.

"That thing was annoying the heck out of my ears." the sayian glances around as the moths suddenly become worm-like creatures.

Starfire giggles happily as she shares a dance with Robin, the two having been made prom king and queen. The distance closing between the two suddenly widens back out as someone screams.

A large tentacle rises out of the water. Immediately Star flies into the air and fires at it, Robin throws some electrified birdarangs.

When the birdarangs hit a loud screech is heard and the tentacle vanishes, in its place flutters an undead-looking pterodactyl. Everyone watches as it swoops down to almost hit the two titans and flies off.

Some distance away the flying dino lands and becomes human. Fear rubs his arm as he looks around where he has landed. "Note to self, don't be in water around Robin."

Still rubbing his arm Fear begins to walk, he stops though as a TV in a window display catches his attention.

"And the day was saved once again from a mad boom baby as Static…" the news is interrupted as a clay fist imbeds itself into the TV.

Fear resumes his normal form and glares at the damaged TV. "I hate Shock, that blasted hero didn't know how to have fun."

"I see you have a grudge against that hero." eyes wide, Fear becomes Venom and turns to wrap the person in webbing.

Fear's eyes widen more as the person easily breaks the web. "What is our problem to you?" Grim smirks as he walks in a circle around the fear-shape shifter.

"Well 'we' have a proposition for you." Grim emphasizes 'we' to mock the way Fear's talking, "you know Venom is actually one of mine and my dad's favorite comic villains. But could you please resume your normal form for this."

Fear silently complies while still ready in case he attacks. "Now my offer is this, my brother is a pain in my backside. Thing is we're both unable to really hurt each other, so we play by a set of rules. If you attack him then I can get him from behind and defeat him. After which he will not be able to fight for a few days by our rules of play. Thus allowing me to play with the humans all I want."

"And how do you 'play' with them."

"Just pranks, pretty dangerous pranks, but just pranks."

"How so?"

Grim smirks, "I can't demonstrate right now I'm out by the rules. But I can say that my pranks have people wanting to throw me in prison."

Fear looks down at the ground and rubs his chin thinking. "Alright fine I'll join your game, might be fun. But if I even come close to being seriously hurt then I'm leaving and not continuing the fight with him. I don't have pride enough to stick around to fight."

Grim nods and smirks, "I saw, what with the electricity and you in water."

Fear blinks up at the tower, "this is where your brother is, as well as the titans?"

"Yes this is where they live." inside Reaper is doing pull-ups in his room, the sweat on his face shows he's straining to complete his next one.

"And 100." when the tower suddenly shakes with an explosion he loses his grip and falls to the floor, and crashes through it. When the sayian finally stops falling he looks up to see he'd fallen through several floors.

"Hmm need to make it so that won't happen." he stands and looks down to see the T-car, crushed by his weight.

"I'll have to fix that before Cy sees, but first that explosion." Reaper walks towards the wall and goes through it like a ghost.

Outside he spots Fear staring at a spot next to him. "Alright who are you, and why did you attack my temp home?"

Reaper raises an eyebrow at the expression on the person's face and senses the person's life energy before he speaks up. "You're Reaper?"

"Hmm yes and now that I think about it, you couldn't have been the one to attack the tower. Your energy suggests you don't know how to use it." Fear sweat drops and transforms causing the sayian to raise an eyebrow.

"Trump sword!" Fear readies his swords as Reaper stands impressed, "very interesting but I can also tell by your energy you don't wish to harm anyone."

Fear sweat drops again as the Titans arrive behind Reaper.

"What took you, right outside?"

"It was still the sleep cycle." Star yawns, Beastboy snores somehow asleep while standing. "Well do you guys know him?" Robin nods his head, Fear just confused continues to stand at the ready.

"His name's Fear, he becomes various monsters, fake and real. In the short time we've heard of him no one he's attacked has really been hurt."

Reaper frowns as he turns back to the scare-shifter. "Well he's knows my name, and he's ready for a fight. You guys stay back, he wants to try me."

Reaper dashes forward and swings a fist. Fear steps back as his swords are broken, the top halves falling to the ground. He growls slightly as he becomes bigger, gains a hockey mask and forms a new sword.

"Cool Jason, loved his movies, one of the best serial killer monsters." Fear sweat drops at the comment but takes the initiative and attacks first.

Reaper catches the blade and holds it, Fear tries to take it back. He freezes as the sayian leans in to whisper to him, "I know what really happened here. And I know that you like to hear screams of fear, being what you are and what you can do."

Reaper's eyes narrow slightly "But you don't want to seriously hurt people, your weapon not actually being sharp proves that. I used to want screams of pain and fear myself, now I just want yells of annoyance. My brother on the other hand still wants pain and fear, his idea of fun is killing people for laughs."

Reaper begins to growl, recalling Grim's idea of fun. "That is his idea of a prank, because we come from a group of people who can come back when we want. To us killing one of our own is considered a prank, I still do that from time to time. But no longer on those who can't come back, he still does."

At the look on Fear's face, and the fact that he's no longer trying to take the sword back Reaper lets go of his end and asks a question.

"Now I know Grim was the one to attack the Tower, where is he?"

"I don't know, he attacked and disappeared."

'Explains why he was staring at the empty space next to him, baffled as to what happened.'

"He just wanted me to distract you." Reaper glares, and gathers energy into his hand. Without a word he turns and throws the energy in the direction of the titans.

The five heroes yelp and duck, only to hear the blast hit something behind them. They turn around and gape as Grim stands up, his armor slightly burnt from the blast.

Fear walks forward and stands next to the titans as Reaper appears in front of them, glaring at his brother. All of the super powered people blink as Reaper says something in a different language. "Brother you just can't go around and corrupt other people to do what you want."

The confusion continues as Grim answers in the same language. The two sayians begin to argue in the alien verse to the annoyance of the others, "Man why can't they argue in a language we understand?"

"Uh Star since you've heard of their race before, you wouldn't happen to know what their saying do you?"

"A little but I can easily remedy that." To the shock of everyone Star steps forward and quickly kisses Reaper.

Afterwards she steps away and in her new language tells the two they may continue. But the argument doesn't continue as Reaper begins to spit and make sounds of disgust.

Grim sighs and steps forward, somehow produces a bottle of mouthwash and hands it to Reaper. "Excuse us, but please refrain from doing that. Until we come of age, we can not engage in any kind of affection, save possessiveness."

Grim turns back to Reaper to see his brother has finished washing his mouth and is holding the bottle in his tail. "Well I've clearly been defeated, so you win again brother. But uh… I spent all my food money last night."

Grim laughs nervously as Reaper stares at him, "Grim that money was supposed to last you till tomorrow. But fine I'll give you some more just wait a few seconds."

Reaper vanishes and reappears, the bottle gone and a medium sized bag in his hand. He reaches inside and pulls out some glowing bills. "Here this will last you a week do you understand? Don't spend it all before then."

Grim smiles as he takes the bills and vanishes. With that taken care of Reaper turns to the titans and Fear, "so you staying here or something?"

The titans turn to see Fear, still as Jason, begin to sweat drop as the attention is on him now. "Man I got a head ache now, scare you guys later."

They watch as he turns and walks to the water, he becomes the swamp thing and continues walking. "Okay what else could happen today?"

Fear picks up a movie and looks at it, Reaper stands behind him, looking at his own movies.

Reaper throws an energy blast at a TV monster before it can grab him and puts down the movie he was looking at. "All of these seem to be cheap knockoffs of movies dad C. has told me about."

"Hey don't make fun of the movies I know and love. We can't help it if the ideas we have here are different then the ones your dad grew up with."

"Ok, calm down Fear. I guess I'll have to show you some of dad's movies sometime, when you're a good guy." Reaper grabs some evil living candy as it chases after Cyborg on a movie shelf and ingests them.

"By the way how long do you think this television idiot will last?"

"I don't know, cool I've been wanting to watch this one!" Fear puts his movie in a little basket he has with him.

"You are going to actually rent those right?"

"Rent? Heck no, but I will return them." Reaper sighs but only continues his search, his tail grabs a cardboard monster as it passes behind him. Beastboy stops running and turns to see the wicked scary monster is trying unsuccessfully to get away from Reaper.

Reaper calmly sends energy into his tail and cuts the fake monster in half then turns to take the videos out of Fear's basket to look at them.

"Hmm Dracula 2000, Underworld, and Blade Trilogy. Well these three are the same dad's told me bout. Very good movies, won't be able to get a new monster out of Dracula, but the others at least one new from each. If you'd never seen them before that is."

Reaper replaces the movies, and as water begins to come out of the sprinklers Fear leaves. Reaper walks over to Robin as the hero holds the bad guy by his collar. "Well this was a waste."

"A lot of help you were."

"Hey I helped, destroyed a TV, ate some candy and cut the cardboard monster in half."

"If you had actively helped we'd been done sooner, but no you wanted to chat with your new friend." Reaper shrugs, "hey treat him like a friend he may become one, besides when my brother leaves I leave. When that happens hopefully Fear is set to take my spot."

The titans just glare at the smirking sayian.
