Part 2: My name Is Draco

The Titans went back to the T-Tower that night, discussing about the armored figure that helped them destroy the monster.

"Cool! A new hero in town. Hey, maybe we can ask him to join!" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"I wonder if he's another cyborg like me. He sure looks it!" Cyborg said.

"If he joins the Titans, we will all have a new friend. Glorious!" said Starfire.

The only people who weren't happy about the newcomer were Robin, Raven and Terra.

"I don't know anything about this guy. I don't like it," Robin said silently.

"He disappeared into that window just like that monster. He could be one of them for all we know. We don't know if we can trust him. I can't even trust myself," Terra said, remembering when she betrayed them. She was a stone statue before a few weeks ago when she had broken free. She was surprised at how they still welcomed her. She blushed as she remembered Beast Boy kissing her.

"The helmet was blocking my powers. I couldn't even read him," Raven said.

Robin sighed. "So we can't trust him."

Half of the teens liked the guy, while the other half distrusted him. The wide big screen TV was off, but a silhouette of something could be seen. Beast Boy was the first to notice.

"Um, guys? Do you see what I'm seeing?" Beast Boy pointed wide eyed at the screen. A foot came out of the screen, followed by another. An armored torso was evident, the bright red of his bodysuit distinctive. Finally, his whole body came into view as he stepped on the floor of the Titans living room. He lifted up his headpiece and looked around with his green eyes.

"So this is Titans Tower," he said, "Cool!"

"Dudes! It's the guy!" Beast Boy jumped in front of the newcomer and grinned. The armored figure looked at Beast Boy and smiled, of course you couldn't see his smile because his helmet was covering his whole head.

"Beast Boy! Get away from him! He could be dangerous!" Terra warned.

"Titans! GO!" Robin threw a birdarang at the armored figure while Raven used her magic, firing a beam of dark energy. Terra's powers couldn't be used indoors and the rest were reluctant to attack the guy that helped them with the monster just hours ago. But the figure was calm. He drew a card from his belt, and inserted it into his gauntlet.

"Guard Vent-Buffalo Shield," he said. Suddenly a shield appeared in front of the figure. The shield formed a barrier and protected him from the attacks. "Yo! What gives? I just want to talk!"

"Who are you?" Robin yelled.

"Robin, there is no need to be rude," Starfire told him. She then floated towards the armor clad figure. She extended her hand. "Greetings friend. I am Starfire of Tamaran. What is your name?" She said sweetly.

The figure took her hand and shook it. "My name is..." he trailed off. Better not use my real name. "Zodiac Knight Draco. But you can call me Draco."

"Glorious!" She then hugged him tight.

"Thanks! Uh, armor can't stand pressure! Can't breath!" Draco gasped as Starfire let go.

"My apologies."

"That's okay!"

"Can I ask you some more questions?" He nodded. "Where do you come from? How old are you? What is your favorite color? What is your favorite food? And will you be my friend?" Starfire asked rapidly (Like she asked Terra the first time they met.)

Draco was a bit taken back. "Um…Japan, 17, red, anything edible, and sure."

Robin stood in front of Starfire, staring Draco eye to eye. "What do you want?" His eyes narrowed.

"Listen, Robin, I'm sorry if I surprised you by walking out of the TV like that. But I'm only here to help," Draco said.

Raven said in her monotone voice. "So you want to join the Titans?" Draco nodded.

"But you have to prove yourself first. We have a spare room. You can stay here until tomorrow," Robin offered Draco.

"Do you mind if I let Dragonzer, Razorclaw, Hardhead, Brainstorm, Overbite and Wildcat stay?" Draco asked almost innocently.

"Who are they?" Robin asked.

Draco shrugged. "Tomorrow, you'll see them."

"C'mon dawg! I'll show you to your room," Cyborg offered. Draco looked at the machine man oddly and nodded. The other Titans looked at Robin. Some were excited about Draco, while the rest were a bit upset.

"I thought you said we couldn't trust him!" Raven said. Terra agreed.

"We must give our new friend a chance!" Starfire leapt in front of Robin. Beast Boy jumped around saying that Draco was cool with his armor and going through mirrors

Robin left them.

"So you like cars, huh, Cyborg?" Draco asked, while they walked down the hall.

"Sure! The T-Car's my best and my baby. Raven helped me with that car," Cyborg said.

"Does it purr like a kitten? I was wondering if you could help me with my Knightrider. It's been on the fritze!" said Draco.

"What's the Knightrider?" Cyborg asked, "Is it a car?" Cyborg asked hopefully.

Draco turned his head. "You'll see."
