AN,2: yay filler chapter how I love the. Not much happening in the review section here [glares evilly at screen] please review. I said please.
Alienvspreador- Jake is free from prison mabey but not his past. I agree with the Blood Slade thing, both like to hide way too much in my opinion and for Blood it dont even pay off. One last note, Blood was severely downplayed in the show, to me at least. So dont think he'll be a pushover by any means.
Now on with the fic
"Lieutenant" came a voice from the darkness. A memory dredged up from the depths of his mind. A singular face that haunted his dreams. Kate's pained look, the stare that sent chills down his spine. A gunshot rang out and echoed throughout the darkness. Now as the life faded from the form and the memory itself Jake fell into the darkness.
Jake, for the second time that week, awoke in a cold sweat. His eyes once again darting from shadow to shadow in an unfamiliar room. This new room however was supplied with far less than his prison cell. The bed sitting in the far right corner and a wooden dresser opposite the bed were the only furniture to be found. He picked his watch up off the floor and tried for several moments to read the blurry green numbers.
After some time his eues adjusted and read the 4:36 displayed on the screen. "Not enough time to get much sleep yet to early to get up." He thought to himself. With exaggerated slowness he rolled from his bed and shambled toward the dresser. He picked the first shirt he found and threw it over his shoulder. Clothes for today picked out he slid his door open and set off to the kitchen.
Once there he threw open cabinets one at a time and sifted through their contents. All in search in what was to him more valuable than gold. At long last his hand gripped the aluminum can, on the front read words that could bring tears to his eyes. Coffee. Quicker than the eye could see he preped the coffee maker and flipped the switch that promised many good things to come.
With coffee brewing he set off in search of the tv remote. In his opinion the dammed thing didn't know how to stay in one place, ever time you'd set it down it'd grow legs and walk off. Or so he thought. With six people sharing it there was no way in knowing where it would turn up. The search was given up minutes of half hearted searching later. Apparently wherever it was hiding was not easily accessible to a human hand.
He returned empty handed to the coffee maker but was pleased to see his nectar was finished. He took a green mug from the dishwasher and filled it to the brim. His black gold did wonders to bring him to life and so after three cups he sunk into his pre-prision routine. That meaning he grabbed his Ipod and made his way to the gym.
Upon arrival he located a dock for his mp3 and selected the randomize option. Seconds later he was pleased to hear Rise Against playing through speakers all around the room. Now with everything right in his world he set off to his workout.
Raven was walking down the hall on her way to the roof for her morning meditation when somethung out of the ordinary was heard. It sounded like music, but she was the only one that ever got up before 5:00. Curious a person that she was she located the source and was surprised that it was coming from the gym.
This was surprising because Cyborg had designed the room to be completely sound proof. Cautiously she cracked open the door and was blasted back by the sheer force of the sound waves. She looked around and saw the person responsible for the overly loud music. There hanging from a bar on the ceiling was a shirtless Jake facing the back of the gym. Raven strode over to his mp3 and none to gently ripped it from its resting place, immediately silencing the room.
"The hell?" Jake said to himself as he looked over his shoulder to find the source of the silence. When his eyes landed on Raven any notion of causing major bodily harm to an individual evaporated. Raven was just staring him down with an annoyed expression. Clearly she had severe dislike of extremely loud music this early.
In an attempt to sidestep the coming argument Jake simply acted as if nothing were wrong. "Mornin." He said over his shoulder before dropping to the ground. "Morning." She replied in her trademark monotone. "So, what brings you to this part of the tower so early?" He asked whilst trying to find where he had put his shirt.
"I could ask you the same." She replied.
"Thought it was pretty obvious. Morning PT regime." He shot back while looking under the bench and retrieving a grey t-shirt.
"What sane individual gets up at five for PT?" She asked genuinely shocked at this guy.
First off it was more like 4:30. And second, who told you I was a sane individual?" He said wearing his stupid grin.
Raven just rolled her eyes. "Anyway could you refrain from waking the dead with your music." She said motioning to the Ipod sitting on the table. "It won't that loud." He tried to defend himself. "I could hear it through the sound proof walls. Its too loud." She stated.
"Really?" He asked to witch Raven nodded her head. "And that was only 75%" he said while turning his gaze the the electronic device.
Raven knew where his train of thought was headed and immediately derailed it."No."
"But you dont even-"
"Yes I do, and by the way, Hell No." She said picking up the silver device.
"Damn empaths" he muttered to himself. "Do I at least get it back?" He asked.
"The damned empath is deciding the fate of your music" she responded. After several tense seconds she tossed it it back to him. "Keep it an acceptable volume will you."
"Alright, alright, no blowing the eardrums out of my skull." He said after snatching it out of the air.
As he started back to his workout she stopped him, "One last thing. I wanted to apologize for invading your mind. I had no right and let my impatience get the better of me." She said lowering her gaze.
Jake looked her in the eye and responded, "Now don't start goin there. If anything I sould be thanking you for that. You got me out and cleared my name. So thank you, I don't know what I'd have done had you walked away."
Raven turned to the exit but said something over her shoulder before she exited, "Thanks for not freaking over it, most don't take to kindly to a demon sharing thier mind."
"If there's anything I know bout me, it's that I'm not most people. Truth be told I'm kinda glad you saw what you did, having that locked inside your head is terrible." He responded. "See you at breakfast."
"Yeah, see you there." She said as she closed the door.
An hour later four of the six Titans had gathered it the common room. Robin sitting at the table reading a newspaper, Starfire looking trough a magazine, and Beastboy and Cyborg were in the middle of their morning breakfast argument.
"AND I TELLIN YOU THERE AINT NO WAY ANY OF THAT STUFF IS MAKING IT ANY WHERE NEAR MY FOOD!" Cyborg shouted at his green opponent.
Raven chose this moment to walk into the room. Meditation went surprising easily today, only happy seemed to need calming down. Apparently she was even more excited at the prospect of a new friend than Starfire.
"Morning Raven." Robin called out from his spot a the table.
"Greetings friend, have you seen Jake he was not in his room when I went to wake him." Starfire said.
"Last I saw him, he was in the gym." Raven responded
"He's not there, I just checked a few minutes ago." Said Robin putting his newspaper down.
"Cy" Raven called out disrupting his rant at Beastboy. "You seen Jake?" "Not since I set him up in his room." He responded before continuing the pro-meat rant.
"When did you see him-" Robin tried to ask but was cut off by Jake entering the room from the entrance at the far end of the room.
"Mornin everyone." He called out upon entering the room.
"Where have you been? Robin asked
"Went for a walk, you know cool morning air and all that stuff." Jake said sitting down at the table.
"Enjoy it while you can, you've got combat practice today." Said Robin with a smirk that promised many evil things to come.
