"Cyborg? That name sounds familiar." Jet asked, giving up on escaping from the net. He looked at the man in front of him. He was tall and muscular, with metallic pieces, making him half robot in a way. The girl he had carried back to the tower was glowering at the man, and it was almost funny to see. A small, tiny girl giving the death glare at a seven foot tall man.
But the strange thing was, her glare was directed what looked several inches away.
"Who are you?" Cyborg asked. A canon was still pointed start at the girl, but either she didn't know, or wasn't scared. He was going for the latter one.
"I'm Jet. She's… unknown," He gave his answer half heartedly. What was her name? She seemed unsure of it herself.
"Where are you two from?" He asked, pointing his canon at Jet instead. "What are you?"
What are you?
The words were not new to him, but they were his reality when he spent his life with his foster parents. He was strange, a freak. He had run away to Jump City, trying to find someone else like him. And watching the two girls battle, hope blossomed in his heart. There were others. One of them may have been obviously evil, and the other one sarcastic and unwavering.
"I'm from Arizona. I… have stuff. I'm telekinetic. And I can see other peoples life forces. Like when they're about to pass out. Or die." He said, weakly. He stumbled over the telekinetic part, but never broke his gave from Cyborg's one eye.
"I don't even know where I am. If you can show me the door, I'll get out of your hair." The girl shrugged, folding her arms across her chest. She shifted weight from her right leg to her left, as if she were bored of the scene in front of her.
"How do you not know where you are? They put up so many 'Welcome to Jump City' signs that I've lost track of them." Jet asked.
"I'm blind, you idiot." She nearly growled.
Blind?
"But you… you were fighting that girl…" Jet was at a lose for words.
"I don't need to tell you how exactly I got my powers, but I can feel by vibrations and listen to echoes. My voice can reach different pitches; hence, that's why Cyborg was in pain. Got it?" Her voice was defensive, and her eyes, darkened to near black, flashed dangerously.
"Where are you from?" Cyborg asked, turning to her. He allowed his canon arm to drop, but he kept it ready for use.
"Listen, I don't know who you are, and I don't care. I don't remember, alright. Now, let me leave this building, and I'll go." Her voice was made of steel, but both men could see how her body strained under exhaustion.
"Who, and what, exactly are you?" Jet asked, looking at Cyborg.
He was silent for moments, before he gave his answer. "I am Cyborg. I was part of the Teen Titans, right up to the moment when Robin disappeared."
Jet was confused. "What were the Teen Titans?"
To everyone's surprise, it was the girl who answered. "The Teen Titan's were a group of Teen's who most had some sort of power. They took down the dangerous crime done by villains to the city. Each Titan had its own specialty, but Robin was the one without any actual power-leaving him to rely on his gadgets to fight. Once Slade began taking control of a different city, Robin left the team, and turned into Nightwing."
"How-how do you know this?" Cyborg asked, shocked.
She was silent before continuing. "When Robin left the team fell apart. They left to go to their different homes, or in the Beast Boy's case, he left for the Titan's East. Ever since they gave up fighting for Jump City, it went straight back to villains."
"Hence the gang fights." Jet frowned.
"Now that we're done here, I'm leaving. So again, can someone show me the door?"
"Who say's we're done?" Jet asked quietly. Her words seemed to carve themselves into his mind, and each word seemed to repeat itself, bringing a hush to his worries and fears.
"What do you mean? Listen, I need to get going. I can't hang around this place for to long."
"What if we began a new team of Titans?" Jet asked.
"No! That's crazy! We don't even have the funding. And look around you, you idiot. This place is about to collapse. When's the last time you did repairs?" Her tone was hot and heated.
"We have powers. We could get by. The Mayor obviously paid them, if they were able to live in this building for so long!" Jet shot at her.
"You two would never be able to restart the team." Cyborg dismissed the idea.
"Never?" She was silent. Her eyes shut before opening back up, blazing with an unknown fire. "I'm in."
A/N:
Hey lovely readers! I'm glad you all enjoy the story so far. First off, I would like to thank a lovely reader, bearrose, for all her lovely comments and the personal messages. Second of all, one of the reviews had been asking me, when Raven was coming into the story. She'll come into it later on, just not at the moment. Probably after the team starts up.
Now, I have to work on a chapter for Raven's Secrets.
