Another chapter of a Warrior's Journey. I mostly wrote this out of boredom.
Beast Boy: Then play video games!
Me: [shakes head] Writing, creativity, and reading are good entertainment.
Cyborg: [whispers to Beast Boy] Loser.
Me: Hey!
Raven: Allow me. [Encases them in black energy and throws them in the ocean].
Robin: Wow, it's much quieter. Anyways, this non-creative whippersnapper doesn't own us. Only her ridiculous ideas.
Starfire: I believe the expression is ditto?
Me: Yes it is. And I'm NOT a whippersnapper!
Chapter 2
Robin's P.O.V.
When a stranger shows up, beats a bad guy up, and threatens to kill you, it's best to arm yourself and not take it personally.
This girl, Endeavor, looked decent until she said she wanted to kill us. I thought she was decent [more or less] and so did the others. Except Raven. She and I had this connection and I could tell right away she didn't trust her. I had watched Endeavor fight with those strange, effective techniques and strong blows. Obviously trained by a master. The way she fought, however, was unique. Endeavor fought with fury, pride, and a will to prove herself. She looked like she wanted to see what we thought and get praise but also didn't wasn't us to think she needed it and stuff.
Endeavor smirked, then chuckled, laughed, and finally doubled over laughing. I had all ready taken out my discs and noticed everyone readied for an attack. Starfire was ready to shoot her starbolts, Cyborg aimed his sonic cannon, Beast Boy changed into a triceratops, and Raven lifted up some cars with her powers. I was shocked that she wasn't attacking and the rest of the team put back their weapons or went to normal again.
"I'm kidding! Wow, you guys need a vacation." Endeavor grinned. Her voice sounded easygoing and friendly.
And of course, she hit it off with Beast Boy. "Yeah I know! I've been trying forever to convince-" Beast Boy started to say but Star cut him off.
"Please inform us. Who are you and what do you wish for?" Starfire asked hesitantly. "Do you fight for good? Are you human?"
"Can we trust you?" Raven questioned, tense.
"Where did you learn those moves?" I asked. This was a good opportunity to learn some new moves.
"Are you vegetarian like Grass Stain over there 'cause we're meat eaters!" Cyborg informed Endeavor.
Endeavor held her hands up as if she had done something wrong. "Is there a place where we can talk before we put this lowlife in jail?" she asked, pointing at Dr. Light. "Like a pizza place or something like that?"
"Sure! I could go for pizza!" Beast Boy piped up. The others agreed.
"We'll take you to the best place in town." I added.
We ordered cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza at our usual hangout. Turns out Endeavor tried to be vegetarian at first but, like she said, 'tofu isn't the same as meat'. Everyone but Beast Boy agreed. Raven, I noticed, wasn't talking to her excitedly like the others did.
"You guys were right! This is the best pizza ever!" Endeavor remarked happily as she bit into a slice of pepperoni pizza.
"We did our part. Can you answer the questions now?" I asked impatiently.
Endeavor nodded seriously. "Right." she said. "Well, I'll give you a brief history of my messed up life. As I found out 3 years ago as I was abducted by some old dude, I'm not human. I'm a Raylonian from Planet Raylon, which is past your solar system. I got my name 'cause I always try no matter the odds. I proved that when I stood up to that old guide. Ever since then my brother and some other kids were trained by master of our powers. We fit in on Earth because scientists switched off the gene that makes our powers which is gotten by Raylonians's personality. See, this organization sent unwanted babies to Earth for ten years to learn about it and then they send us back. The organization disbanded in the tenth year because of financial problems. It took 3 years to get someone willing to get us kids back. I trained under a man named Zelt who taught me Raylonian martial arts and 1 year under Jimmu who taught me swordsmanship in Japan when I escaped Raylon. They let me stay on Earth but my little brother stayed on Raylon because our family gets money for the information about Earth. Any questions?"
"So you do fight for good?" Starfire wanted to confirm.
Endeavor smiled. "Sure do."
"Why do you smell like sushi?" Beast Boy asked hurriedly.
"Um, I don't feel comfortable answering that B.B."
No one had anymore questions. This was more information than what we revealed to each other in the beginning and it was amazing how much she felt she could trust us. I deemed her trustworthy.
"Can we trust you?" Raven asked again in a slightly defensive tone.
Endeavor looked seriously at Raven with an intense gaze and nodded. "You can."
"Why did you reveal so much about your past?" I cut in.
"You guys are the good guys. If I didn't show up you would've beaten that Dr. Light guy." Endeavor answered, giving me a playful smirk.
"Oh right." I blushed. I should've figured that out!
"I think it is an honor to have been able to hear about Friend Endeavor," Starfire told us all.
"Me too! I think she's alright." Cyborg said.
"Ditto!" Beast Boy put in.
Raven didn't answer and I was suddenly aware of why she acted hostile towards Endeavor. Raven didn't want another Terra. I didn't think Endeavor would betray us. She seemed nice enough but on the other hand, Terra seemed that way too. But I had to give her a chance. It wouldn't be fair. I bit my lip. This would be a very big problem.
"Can I ask you a favor? I've heard a lot of good things about the Titans and I was wondering if I could go 1-on-1 with each of you in a fight. Just to test my strength and stuff…" Endeavor asked. I saw her cross her fingers under the table with both gloved hands.
"I think we'd all like that." I said and Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy nodded in agreement.
We all looked at Raven, who had just finished her pepperoni pizza. She caught us all looking at her. Raven looked at all of us, and finally Endeavor. "Fine. But I will be last." Raven sighed, and rolled her eyes.
"HURRAY!" Beast Boy yelled, pumping his fist in the air and he would've fallen off the building if Cy hadn't caught him.
"Are you alright, Friend Beast Boy? Do you have 'the mental retardness'?" Starfire asked Beast Boy.
Beast Boy blushed. "No! I happen to be an educated person, not a green idiot!"
"Could've fooled me." Raven muttered. Beast Boy and Raven started to get in a glare fight which Raven always won.
I looked at Endeavor who looked really disturbed for a moment at their stare down. After a while she started to put on a mischievous grin. Endeavor obvious knew the two teammates secretly had crushes on the other. There was plenty of evidence, like that time when B.B. had the courage to hug her on Val-Yor's ship. Not to mention Raven saved him whenever he got his butt kicked by the villains.
"Let us go to the top of the Tower and duel our new friend!" Starfire cheered. I always loved how optimistic and happy she always was.
"Right you are, Starfire! Let's go, Titans!" I yelled enthusiastically as we made our way to the Tower.
