I was mediating on a outcropping of rocks with my recently broken arm when a boy falls out of the Tower's living room and down to the rocks next to me. ''Ah!'' I'm sure he's dead, but... ''Oh...Azar...Ah!''
He sits up with the back of his head bloodied and crumpled, I go to try and heal him with my empathy powers since he's somehow alive. When I start trying to heal him pain rockets through my head. ''Ow!...Are you okay?'' He says something about that he's fine, but I'm looking up at the tower. Cyborg and Beast Boy are peering down at me and this guy, when whoever he is falls and slips down the wet rocks. Cursing and rolling he falls on to the Training terminal, bounces off, and falls to the ground. He must of hit a control stick or button, but when he hits the sand Cyborg's Black Level Difficulty robots spring out from the ground. They open fire on the seemingly dead boy, luckily this guy knows how to fight.
Wait, he just bit his arm and made a dark red shield. Maybe he's a blood mage with claws? Starfire flies down next to me carrying Robin and Cyborg. Beast Boy lands on my hurt shoulder as a crow. ''Wrong bird smart one.'' He shifts into a raven. ''Hmph.'' Robin walks over to me while we watch this kid take down the robots.
''How's your arm?''
''Having birdbrain sitting on its shoulder kind of hurts.''
Robin shoes Beast Boy off my shoulder. The changeling flies off and lands on Cyborg. ''Better?''
''Much.'' I say, observing that the taloned hemomage has finished.
''Dark! Get over here!'' Apparently the guy who disabled all the bots is named Dark.
Dark... When he comes over I notice he's unharmed.
''Nice work kid, but how are you alive? The fall, being shot, you should be out!''
''I'm a fast healer.'' He replies with a hint of swagger. I catch his eyes glancing at me every few seconds.
Starfire rushes to give Dark an actual rib cracking hug, Beast Boy, who's now in his human form, looks at me then looks at Dark. ''Oh what a victory for you! That was mighty impressive!'' I notice Robin's face has turned red. Not that he has any competition, Dark snarls like an animal when Starfire picks him up.
Beast Boy looks a little tense, I walk over to him. ''He's not going to attack or be a threat.''
''What?''
''You're tense.''
''Oh, that's just him.'' He must have been referring to his beastly form. Something that he gained when some kind of genetic cocktail spilled all over him.
Dark's finished greeting the other Titans, he walks over to Beast Boy, sticks out his hand, and gets a clumsy fist bump from Garfield. ''Name's Beast Boy A.K.A. yo boss.'' Robin glares at Beast Boy.
Now seemingly humbled, ''I'm Dark.'' The two seem to be getting along since they're talking longer than Dark did with the others. Something about claws.
Beast Boy's a little territorial, but he's hiding something behind that smile. A lot of pain and stress, I'll see if I can't talk to him about it later.
I look over Raven as I walk over to her.
Raven.
Her left arm's in a cast. I wonder why, but wow...she's pretty. Like a royal queen or something, something darker... Her eyes go wide when I hold her hand, but I did just bow down and kiss her hand. ''I'm Dark.'' She's probably completely stunned after seeing me deal with those bots and then kneel down and kiss her hand. But heck, I'm partly french.
''...I'm Raven.'' Her skin feels silky, but radiates power. Her demon parent must be extremely powerful.
When he walks over to me, he grasps my hand, kneels down, and kisses my freaking hand. ''I'm Dark.''
Um...I don't know what to say, but I can now tell what he is since he has red eyes, pointed teeth, and his skin gives off a very violent energy, but he's calm, almost enthralled. ''...I'm Raven.'' I must look like an idiot.
I nervously glance at the other boy who has a crush on me.
Holy crap! Raven just blushed! Dude, I'll get as much off this as she did off my real name. I can imagine it now, but my primal side keeps telling me not to trust him. He seems cool though. I mean he seems animalistic, he fights like an animal, socializes like an animal, and even growled at Star. Aside from that growl, he seems awesome. He made Rae blush for Pete's sake.
Wow. That's not what Raven was expecting. I hope this won't cause any trouble. If Raven's powers...
A black vortex opens underneath Dark causing him to fall through and appear from the sky above Beast Boy. I watch him slam into the changeling. This new half-demon may be a valuable addition to the Titans' team.
