Sniper on the roof: Whose side are you on anyway!?
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. So stop asking me if any new episodes are coming out, I don't know. You know who you are.
The follow up. Kind of. This is the same battle, only from a different perspective.
Basically, an outside view of the fight scene that I omitted. I may not be a genius, but I'm not an idiot. At least not all the time any way. I'm not big on coming up with new names for my characters. Names are my weakness. I know few people, but I try to make sure that I give credit.
Whoever I used the line from was on Fanfiction, I know that much. If this chapter goes up before you manage to contact me, I'm sorry.
Also, this chapter will start like a diary, but will change to normal at some point, though I'm not sure which at the moment. Also, in case anyone wonders, the diary is being written by PDA. Just FYI.

Day 730
My mission is simple. Keep a watch for anything that the Teen Titans can't handle, and help them. I'm to remain hidden as long as possible, but I'm free to join the Titans at any time I feel like it. I've been here, among the populace for two years now and I'm starting to grow bored. They can handle just about anything that can be thrown at them, and I'm getting kind of tired of waiting in the wings. I'm feeling like I'm going to be here until the end of the world. But I've got my orders and I'm going to follow them. Although, I might just have to find a better weapon. The villains are getting stronger and this gun is starting to look a bit outdated. I'd better get a decent rifle for this.

Day 762
I never thought I'd reach this day. I thought I'd have been killed by Slade around the first three months. Oh well. I've procured a better rifle, with plenty of bullets if I have to actually take down a villain for good. And in the spirit of today, the bullets are all 7.62mm rounds. This is my favorite day of the mission for other reasons however.
Someone called the Titans and told them that someone was stealing an ancient artifact in the Mojave Desert. I'm staying behind so I can watch over my post, so if a villain does go on a rampage I can finally give my new rifle a proper test shot. I also have it on good authority that the Mojave ruins are empty. I checked it out years ago, and I didn't get mauled by anything. Those kids should be just fine. I see something at the tower. Moving to investigate.

Day 764: 7:00 A.m.
The Teen Titans have returned, though something ill is blowing in the wind today. I can't quite place this feeling, but it's getting to me PDQ.
The day before yesterday, someone was spotted outside Titans Tower, but I failed in finding out who it was. I would have placed micro security cameras all over the tower, but Cyborg is known to check the Tower every day.
I would have shot whoever it was, but I didn't know if it was a friend of the Titans or not and I didn't want to be in deep with my superiors.
...
11:00 A.m.
Some kind of creature is pulverizing downtown and I can't get away from my hotel room.
I've just picked up my rifle and my tranq rounds as well as five boxes of 7.62mm shells.
I've got my rifle, as well as a .50 caliber model I had the agency deliver to me yesterday. I've got thirty rounds for it, but I'm not sure if I'll need to use them. I'm getting to the roof door, will note further momentarily. I hope.
11:43 A.m.
...
The creature is the dragon Malchior. The Titans have pushed it back right in front of my hotel, of all places. I've set up my rifles and am waiting further note. I'm using my special optical camouflage generator to hide myself and my guns, and I pray that they can't see me. Starfire, Cyborg, and Robin are down and Raven is trying to read a passage from a book. I'll not more if I survive. If not, enact my will, with the note that if these guns survive, they go to my brother Carl.

End of Diary sequence.

"This cannot be good." Nick was the best the Agency had to offer in most areas. Fast, agile, quick thinking, and very creative.
He also held the record for the highest accuracy in fifteen states, working on Texas in his spare time.
He stared through his sniper scope at the dragon, who was now speaking very fast. A burst of wind threw him off target for a moment, but he soon righted himself. After focusing his scope, he let out a deep breath. "Not possible." Beastboy had transformed into a dragon and was egging Raven on.
Nick trained his scope on a spot that had a scale missing, which was on the back of Malchiors neck. "Don't fail Titans. I don't want to make him mad." As the two dragons fought, Raven was chanting an incantation. Beastboy turned into a squirrel and ran away. "Look up here you overgrown lizard!" Malchior looked up at where he stood. 'BANG!'
His rifle was loud in its speech and the dragon slumped its head and was captured within the book, growling as he went.
Nick sighed, letting out the breath he had held during his shot. "May I never face your scaly hide again."
...
Several years have passed since that day and Nick decided to meet the Titans officially. He had sent an anonymous call to the tower, using some special effects to make him look like a shadow. He didn't bother disguising his voice since he would have to have them recognize him somehow. He told them to meet him at a street corner cafe, one he often went to because it was quiet and often deserted in the day.
"Doesn't get much better than this." He wore his casual clothes since he wanted to hide his job. He wore a blue T-shirt and blue jeans with a pair of cowboy boots and a vest. On his head was a baseball cap that had been long since faded, to the point that whatever was written on it was completely gone. He also wore fingerless gloves, wanting to get the attention of whichever Titans would come. "Warm sunny day, a cool breeze, and a nice hot cup of tea." He sipped his beverage as he heard voices from around the corner. 'Must be them.'
"Are we sure that this isn't a trick?" Nick chuckled softly as the waitress set down another cup of his favorite green tea. He knew that it was Beastboy who said this. His voice hadn't change much in the years that passed so quickly.
Nick looked to the waitress. She was a close friend since he had come to the city. "Thanks love." He winked at her, making her blush.
"We won't know until we get there. Besides, if anyone goes after the book again, they'll have to face Thunder and Lightning." He chuckled again. Raven had changed only a bit, but he knew she was much better at controlling her powers.
"Yeah. You're right. Even if this guy starts trouble, there's no way he can beat us. Not since you've started teaching me how to use magic." He mentally snickered.
He had managed to put several cameras around the tower in non-sensitive places. He had watched their training sessions and practiced himself. He noted that he had been able to surpass Beastboy, but only by a bit.
"Yeah, that'll make him think twice." Nick finished his first cup and set it down as two Titans came around the corner. Nick had hoped that he would be alone with them, but four other people were there, but they were a good distance from him for some reason.
"That has got to be our guy." Raven walked up to his table as Beastboy followed close behind.
"Hello. Can I help you?" Nick wanted to see if they knew him before starting his conversation.
"Nick, I presume." Raven sat across from him while Beastboy pulled up a chair.
