Teen Titans: "Promise"

Terra- Aura has been gone a long time. I'm not saying that I miss her, but I just want her to come back so that her friend will leave. Niveus and Aura, both of them seem so mysterious; I can't help if I ask questions about them. Her friend has been teaching me lots of stuff, and for some reason he's taught me a new rule. I cannot ask more than three questions a day… It will take a long time to learn anything with a stupid rule like that in order.

I sigh and get up from the coach. I was in a place that Aura's friend called his base. To me it seems more like a landfill…

I hear some shuffling from behind the door. The knob slowly turns and Niveus appears from the other side. He gives me an odd look and walks over to a chair. "Looks like Aura won't be back for a while."

"Why?" I ask.

He sits down on the chair and leans over. "She just had to make a detour, doesn't want anyone to see her."

"Like who. I mean it's not like anyone can tell who she is."

"Relax, she's just skipping Jump City and going another route. She just doesn't want to see the Titans. A.K.A she doesn't want any unnecessary battles." Niveus said tiredly.

"Unnecessary battles, The Titans only fight bad guys!" I yell.

Niveus glares at me. "Exactly."

I pause, realizing my mistake. "Oh," He nods as he looks out the window.

"Let's just hope she's safe." Then he left the room.

Aura- I told Niveus that I was going to avoid the Titans, but with a huge road block covering every place making the only possible route Jump City, I guess what I said doesn't really matter…

I passed by Murakami High, the place where Terra hid away from Slade after she turned back. Students were already rushing out of the building, so then it must be around three-thirty.

I was just about to pass by the school when a green elephant falls to the ground right in front of me. The elephant turns into a cheetah and then dashes towards a battle up ahead. I guess I didn't notice that when I got here…

I tried to walk away from the battle but crowds of people were getting in my way. Apparently the Teen Titans were pretty popular here. Before I noticed I was already pushed into the front of the crowd. I watched as the Teen Titans fought against some of Slade's goons. Probably came here to fight me, but got into an unnecessary battle. I allow a laugh to come out as I watch the fight.

The green cheetah was gone but now a there was green gorilla. You never see those every day. One of the goons spots me in the ground and charges towards me. A little kid was in front of me and so the goon tossed the kid out of its way. Quickly a run and catch the kid before he splats to the ground. Once I put the kid down and look up I realize that the Titans were staring at me; their mouths open wide. "Uh, hi…" I say.

The goon takes advantage of the disturbance and charges towards me again. The Titans were to slow in reacting so I kicked throw the goons stomach. Once I did that the rest of them came at me. I punched a few through the head, and then split the rest with a smash kick. When I was done I brushed off my hands and looked toward the Titans. They were still staring at me, but for some reason their mouths were open wider than usual. "I'll just go," I say while trying to slip away.

The green gorilla was now a boy and he rushes in front of me. "Dude, that was cool! You have got to join the Titans!"

"Uh, no thanks," I say while pushing him away.

Now the cape boy, alien girl, robe girl, and robot were in my way. "That was most delightful!" says the alien girl happily, way too happy for comfort…

"Are you from around here?" asks the cape boy with his arms folded.

Are you a monk or something? I felt like asking. "No, just passing by."

"Why don't you stay here a while?" offers the robot that I was surprised could even talk.

"Can't," I say while trying to get passed them.

"Why not?" asks the green boy. "We don't bite!" When he says that he's chomping his teeth, weird…

"How could Terra have fallen in love with you?" I say to him. Crap. I have this bad habit of sometimes saying what I'm thinking.

Immediately all the Titans pipe up. "You know Terra?" asks the robe girl.

I don't answer. I need to get out of here. I try to leave but the green boy stayed in my way. "I went to her school, but she wasn't there? Where is she now? Does she remember me?"

He asks more questions than Terra does. "Who," I ask while trying to get past him.

"Terra!" he yells.

"Terra?" I say stupidly. "I don't know who you're talking about."

"Terra, she's a Titan." says the robe girl.

"One of us." adds in the robot.

"Ok then." I try to squeeze past them. Before I was about to jump over them my communicator rang. The Titans looked shocked when they saw me pull out a communicator, there not the only ones with one, heesh. I open it up and see Niveus on the screen.

"Hey, I heard you had to take a detour-." he began to say.

"Who's that?" asked the green boy while leaning over my shoulder.

Niveus was now the one to be shocked. "Hah!" He laughed. "You actually ran into them! Man you have such bad luck!"

"Just get to the chase!" I yell.

"Ok, ok, he's under water this time. Not a problem for you. As you've probably guessed since you're already here he's underwater in Jump City." lists Niveus.

"Thanks," I say, while I was closing my communicator I heard him say, "Good luck." I couldn't help but smile.

The Titans were still staring at me. It was really uncomfortable. "Well I need to go. Bye, hope you find your friend." Then I used my powers to disappear before their eyes, transporting myself under water.

In the distance I could see a large underwater building. That was definitely Slade's. When I got closer a beam shot past me. I barely dodged it. I looked to see where it came from and ten goons appeared. I smiled, guess it's time to warm up.
