Chapter 6

Authors note: well sorry I've been busy, all and all it was a nice thanks giving this year. Im still attempting fix up a few things, but I am glad to see that some many like my story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or any DC character I just own my own character Wize.

It has been a few months already sense Wize joined the Team, SO far he found it to be very calming to have companions to fight along side with. But He couldn't help but feel as though he hasn't done enough to help them.

As he sat on the roof top watching the sun go down He saw cyborg and Beast Boy pull into the garage in the T Car looking as if they were bickering on a mater. Wize choose to descend down the tower to greet his allies and to see what may be the dispute this time. As he arrived in the Kitchen he could hear beast boy scold Cyborg." Dude im telling you Tofu Turkey is better!" Beast boy said putting down the Groceries.

" Listen if you don't want t eat the Turkey, just eat the salad…OK!" Cyborg calmly said at fist before slamming the frozen turkey in the fridge and stared beast boy down seeming to turn red." Um, what's going on?" Wize questioned raising his hand tiredly." Nothing just BB complaining that were having real turkey this thanks giving." Cyborg said as he thought of finally having some nice tasty turkey that practically fell of the bone and melted in the mouth with home made stuffing, just like mama used to make he sighed in expectation.

" Ah I forgot, its that time of the year already." Wize whispered to himself as he walked down the hall. As he laid down in the comfort of his bed his mind began to wonder. He thought of the short time he has been with the titans and all they've done together. He thought of the little he's done to help the Titans sense he got there. He thought of what could ruin their Thanks giving night. He saw in his mind the team enjoying a meal together without the trouble of dealing with Crime fighting that day.

They've done so much for him, and he wanted to return the favor. As night fell he exited his room and headed towards the computer lab hoping Robin once again wasn't spending the night filling out reports. To Wize's fortune Robin was indeed sleeping. He Typed a few codes in the computer before leaving the lab. He was going to do what ever it takes to give the Titans a nice night of togetherness….

(the next day)

Cyborg was in the kitchen preparing the meal to come with alittle help from Star fire and beast boy. Robin was at the T.V.

flipping through the channels in a board manner. Raven decided to come out of her room and meet with her friends on such a holiday but as she walked past Wize's room she realize he wasn't there, to add on to this ominous scene she felt a slight sense of sorrow in the air." Have any of you seen Wize?" Raven asked as she stepped into the kitchen.

" Yeah this mourning he said he would be back by dinner time." Beast boy stated walking to the couch to take a rest." Ahh it's a nice day. No alarms, no bad guys, we can finally chill and play some Video games!" Beast boy said switching on the Game station much to Robin's frustration as he was watching a kung Fu marathon." He better be back by then, because I not gonna leave left over's." Cyborg said wearing a disturbing Pink apron around his waste.

" Uhhh Cyborg?" Raven gestured to the eye sore apron." I know isn't it wonderful! Star Fire made it…" Cyborg clenched his teeth hiding the inner pain of losing his man card, yet smiled pleasantly towards Star Fire who returned the smile cheerfully.

(Jump city)

The city seemed calm from the rooftops. Wize always found them calming especially when the cool fall breeze hits.

He looked at his communicator to see if there was any criminal activity being detected so far. The communicator picked up a disturbance a few blocks from wize's position, which surprised him, due to the fact there was no explosion no flying objects or creatures in the air. Suddenly a bright yellow light flashed in the air fallowed by classical annoying laughter. Spoke too soon.

" No one can defy the great Dr. Light!" Was the only words he was able to let out before Our good friend Dr. Light took a dirt nap from a suddenly and might I add surprise sucker punch from Wize." Wow that was easy." Wize said staring at his fist then back at Dr. Light." Uhg…where the hell did you come from?" Dr. Light muttered in his misery." Just a few blocks away…and why are you shooting laser's all over the city?"

" The lady at the super market tried to sell me a turkey for 45.95." Was all he was able to muster. Alittle while later a police wagon came by to pick the old Dr. As they dragged him to the wagon he looked at Wize with an annoying gaze." Why didn't you announce your presence with a smart ass comment?"

"I don't know…couldn't really think of one I guess." Wize said still puzzling the thought. After a good while of thinking he continued on his patrol around the city as it began to grow late. So far besides Dr. Light he took care of many small time criminals and of course dealt with another annoying plot from Mambo again using children to steal their parents jewelry kind of clever. As he jumped from rooftop to rooftop the titan communicator began to buzz." Hey WIZZZEEEEE!" Cyborg stated in a happy tone." Its Time for the celebration, where you at?"

"im on my way back now im just finishing a few things." Wize said closing communication as he spotted someone a building across from him. It was man cloaked in black, but the strange thing about it was the black cloat moved as if it were on fire, and the mans face…pale very pale….and his eyes wehere full of darkness." What the hell…" Wize tried to adjust his eyes to get a better look, but before he could the man appeared infront of him. Wize was took a fighting stance ready to defend himself." You remember me…." The man smiled wickedly at Wize. His presence was heavy and uneasy it was as if the air around him was cold and thin…so thin you could hardly breath.

" Who the hell are you…" Wize demanded answer's, if this guy knew who Wize was then he needed to know.

" Wait…" Wize began to remember the memory Raven helped find, it replayed quickly in his mind. He fought him before. He fought him so very long ago…and died."AHhhh!" Wize gripped his head as the memory rushed through his head. The feeling could only be described as someone slowly tearing your head apart.

" Heheheh…seems like you still don't remember…" The man said getting closer causing Wize to scoot back to get away from him." But it seems your slowly returning to your formal self…impressive." The man finished his sentace with a grin, before wize got up and charged a ball of fire and hurled it at him. The simply smacked the flames away and pushed wize back to the ground." Aw but your still too weak to fight me.."

"SHUT UP!" Wize yelled forming a bright blue orb in his hand, before you knew it the shadow man was frozen in a large spike of ice. Wize looked at the figure in the ice and breathed a sigh of relief as the pain in his head subsided." As I said weak…" The man's eyes moved as the ice began to crack." Aw crap…" Wize said before being flung to the next building after the man burst free from his ice prison. Wize tried to regain his balance as he stood up. It felt as if everytime the man got closer his power seemed to be drained from him." Aw don't tell your feeling tired again Darren…"

As the name was uttered Wize began to have another flash back but this one was different. He heard voices calling his name. Such kind voices, but the faces behind the voices haunted Wize." Darren…" Wize muttered as he kneeled to the ground gripping his head in agony.

" Oh dear seems I sparked another one…" the man floated slowly towards Wize exstanding his pale hand towards him." Get back!" A bright yellow light proceded out of Wize;s hand causing the shadow man to shriek back in agony and disgust. Wizes eyes glowed for a moment as the light began to push the man back further.

" I rebuke you…" Wize stated simply as the light burst with more force sending the shadow flying back. Wize felt weak after that. His mind returned to him as he panted in his misery." How…" The man cracked his neck as he floated back." Un expected…" Wize glared up at him." I said…"

Wize now glowed a bright purple and blue as he took a lightning form." GET BACK!" Wize shot a wave at lightning t him causing the man to shriek slightly before back handing wize to the ground and grabbing him by the throat dangling him in the air.

" I should have destroyed you when I had the chance…" He growled in anger as wize began to lose concisions." I wont make the same mistake twice…." He squeezed harder on his throat." Enough!" a Voice from the side said hurling a green ball of energy at the man's arm causing him to release Wize, allowing him to be caught by Raven and cyborg." Leave our friend alone…" Star Fire said with such killer intent as she fired yet another star bolt at the meancing shadow, causing him to retreat.

" We will meet again wize…." He said as he sunk into the shadows.

(At the Tower)

"so how did you find me again?" Wize asked as he sat down on the sofa trying to regain his strength.

" I realized that you were taking quite a while in getting back-" Cyborg said as he walked through the kitchen.

" Then I noticed we didn't get any emergence's today so I decided to check the computer, and realized what you've done." Robin said in a half angry tone.

" You deliberately shut off the alarm and placed the detector in your Communicator…you sabotage our computer and nearly lost your life trying to lone wolf it out there. What were you thinking!' Robin finally snapped.

" Believe me I ask myself that question every single day…to be honest I felt I wasn't pulling my weight and that's all im gonna say." Wize said lowering his eyes wishing not to meet theirs.

" I see. Just remember your part of a bigger team now Wize, what ever we do we do as a team." Robin calmed down and patted him on the shoulder.

" Yeah yeah enough of the chit chat its time for Some Turkey!" Cyborg said slamming the turkey on the table cooked to a rick golden brown." BOYEAH! That's what im talking about." Cybrog said as everyone took a seat at the table." You gonna join us or you gonna sit there like a couch patatoe." Raven humored towards Wize." Yeah sure pick on me all ya want its not like I didn't get my ass kicked or anything.." Wize said with a slight chuckle earning a small quick smile from Raven.

" Hallelujah Behold she smileth!" Beast boy said attempting to be dramatic.

" Yeah don't get used to it." Raven said with a frown of annoyance taking he seat." Before I do…I got a promise to fulfill." Wize said as he brought his hands up to his mask and pulled it down. Much to everyone's surprise. His facial demeanor was strong, his chin showed small bit of evidence of scruff." My name is Darren…Darren Black…" He smiled at them all." Pay up BB" Cyborg said holding his hand out to Beast Boy." What?" Beast Boy said with hesitation." Cmon he doesn't have any scars to hide." Cyborg said twirling his fingers.

" Fine" Beast boy said with a puff handing Cyborg 20 bucks. Wize laughed as he took his seat." Lets chow down Titans." Robin said as they all ate and laughed and was marry through the night. perhaps Wize's efforts were not in vain after all. But the face of the shadow still haunted him.
