Fitting In - Chapter 3
As much as I wanted to just run and let other people deal with this, over the years I have learned its better face your problems head on.
The "H-man" yes that is what I am calling him paid no attention to other students or me.
Instead, he went straight for the chemicals cabinet and began to search for God knows what. I figured that your average super hero usually does not break into a chemistry class to steal chemicals, so I decided to shake off my nerves and prepare for a fight.
Luckily H-man was not paying any attention to me so I had time to focus and pick up the first thing I could find which, in this case happened to be a desk.
Using my powers I lifted the desk, which was the easy part, throwing? Now that was much more difficult.
I attempted to toss the desk but missed H-man by at least a couple of feet. Man that was embarrassing I am sure if they weren't so scared, the other students would be laughing at me right now.
Unfortunately, I attracted the attention H-man uh-oh is it too late to head back home? I thought to myself as he approached where I was standing.
" Well, well, looks like there's a new kid with powers in town where's the fancy suit? You don't look like much of a hero". This guy was really getting on my nerves now; nobody insults me and gets away with it.
I looked H-man up and down before saying "and you don't look like a villain, to me you're just a big yellow bucket with black beady eyes".
Two words…bad idea, H-man did not like my comments at all and before I could dodge, he grabbed me by the shirt and lifted me a few feet in the air. Man, if I knew he was this strong I would've just ran away instead, his grip on my shirt was iron tight as I struggled to break free. This is the time to call for back up "hey, anyone want to give me a hand? It would be greatly appreci…" I didn't finish what I was saying when I turned around and realized I was talking to nobody. I guess everybody ran out of the classroom when I got H-mans attention.
H-man just laughed "hahaha next time you should think before you try to fight Private H.I.V.E on your own kid". Private H.I.V.E? Was that seriously his name? How could I be losing to someone with a name that stupid? He might as well just have the word "stupid" written on his chest instead of that H.
I was not losing to someone with a name like that, I regained my focus and at the right time as he was winding up a punch to finish me off "nice knowing ya kid" he said as he was about to follow through with it.
I had to think fast, I would have to use something that was light and I could pick up easily with my limited training, I should really start practicing if this is going to be an everyday thing. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a full garbage can, that'll work! As fast as I could I lifted the garbage can and flung it towards the back of Private H.I.V.E.
I closed my eyes and prayed, please don't miss, please don't miss, and then I heard the THUD and opened my eyes to see the garbage can hit its target.
OH YEAH THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, I felt a rush of adrenaline come over me and wriggled myself free from the dazed yellow mans grip.
I ran across the class to get some distance between us, looking at Private H.I.V.E I noticed how calm he was as he picked banana peels off his armour.
I was taken by surprise when he said "you got some cool powers kid, if you knew how to control them you could be a real threat, Brother Blood, the old Hive academy leader could do wonders with his telepathic powers, adding you to the Hive Five would be a smart move". Before I could ask what he was babbling about, the wall on the opposite side of the room caved him causing me to shield my eyes from the flying debris.
When it finally cleared, I could see five teenagers standing in the middle of the room, one of them was wearing a mask along with a red and green jumpsuit, I assumed he was the leader of this group because of his aura of authority he carried.
Before I could get a good look at the rest, the masked one yelled "TITANS GO!" and the five of them sprang into action.
I was awestruck by their moves; it was as if I was watching a superhero movie live. A more muscular figure, who seemed to be half robot, shot a blue beam at Private H.I.V.E knocking him back into a solid kick from the masked teen.
Private H.I.V.E couldn't react in time as a pterodactyl, where did that come from?, swooped him up and lifted him into the path of a green eyed woman dressed in purple who grabbed him and slammed him into the ground.
These guys were amazing! Finally to wrap it up a dark looking girl, in a blue cloak uttered what seemed to be a spell, in which caused the desks to wrap around Private H.I.V.E and morph into a bind to hold him down.
At this point, I was probably drooling, "that was awesome, you guys are awesome I've never seen something so cool before!" I yelled out loud.
The robot looking guy turns to look at me before saying " BOOYAH! You're damn right we are!" as he stuck a thumbs up out.
"Who are you guys?"
"We're the Teen Titans, five teens committed to keeping this city safe, who are you?" said the masked teen.
"My names Wally, I just moved here and this was supposed to be my first day of school" I replied.
"We saw you attempt to take on Private H.I.V.E by yourself that was very brave, My names Robin by the way"
" I'm Cyborg, half man, half robot"
"Name's BeastBoy, I can shape shift into any animal" oh, so that's where the pterodactyl came from.
"I am Starfire, it is the pleasure to meet you!" as she came in and squeezed the life out of me with a hug.
"You can call me Raven, I saw you use your powers and it looks very similar to mine, are you a magician?".
"No, I don't use magic, my powers are mostly telepathic based which allow me to move objects and people as well as access peoples inner thoughts although, I can't do much of those things, I kinda need more practice" I replied as I scratched the back of my head.
BeastBoy was the first to speak up "Nah Dude that was totally cool how you hit Private H with that garbage can".
"yeah, your powers are very cool and could be used to do some extreme good" Robin was cut off by Starfire though as she pointed to where Private H was supposed to be tied up.
"Uhm friends he has how you say it, escaped"
Robin looked furious "Titans we're going after him, Wally we'd love to have you join the Titans, here take this and think about the offer if you accept you can stop by Titans Tower at the edge of town' Robin said as he handed me a map to the location.
I was too stunned to say anything, I couldn't believe they wanted me to join the team ME! Wally the screw up, I was so grateful for this chance but, before I could thank them I looked up and realized they were gone, off to chase Private H.I.V.E.
The walk back to my apartment was probably the happiest walk I had ever been on. This was the first time I tasted acceptance and it was an indescribable feeling. For once in my life I made a good decision in coming to this city.
I decided to treat myself to some pizza, Hawaiian of course, which I picked up on the way home.
I finally reached my home and was ready to devour this pizza however, I was not expecting to open the door and find Private H along with a short boy with a technological suit and green goggles on his head and a medium sized girl with a navy blue dress, pink eyes and spiked up pink and black hair.
Private H was the first to speak up "don't even think about running and come inside quick, we didn't come to fight".
So what were my options, run? Nope they'd just catch me, fight? I know I'm good an all but not good enough to take three on at once so instead, I decided to just follow them inside my apartment.
I headed over to sit on the couch still gripping onto my pizza however, the short one extending a robot arm from a pack on his back in an attempt to steal my pizza.
"Hey! Back off shortie this pizza is mine" I said furiously trying to protect the pizza.
"Gizmo that's enough stay focused we aren't here to eat" said the pink haired girl, looking at her she was pretty cute especially her bright pink eyes.
I sat down on the couch, putting the pizza down on the table before speaking "so what brings you to my humble home?".
The pink haired girl spoke up "well, Private H here tells me you got some pretty special powers"
"yup, telepathic ones to be exact what's it to you?" I attempted to be slick and use my powers to pick up a slice of pizza and eat it but, I ended up missing my mouth and splattering cheese and pineapple on my cheek.
Real slick I thought to myself as Private H and Gizmo broke out in laughter.
"See Jinx I told you he was a clown" said Private H as he tried to speak in between laughs.
"Enough you two" Jinx said before directing her attention back to me "listen, we'd like you to join the Hive Five my team of villains from the hive academy, with powers like that you'll be a perfect fit also, it doesn't hurt that you're not that bad looking either" she said that last part with a wink.
Oh man I hope I wasn't blushing, "I don't know I'm not really into the whole "evil" thing" I said looking down at the pizza.
I was stunned when I felt her hand on my chin lifting it up to look her right in the eyes, ok, I was blushing for sure now, I couldn't help it those pinks eyes were majestic.
"Tell you what if you're interested meet me tomorrow night on top of the Jump City library and I'll give you a taste of the "bad life" and then you can decide whether you want to join or not, deal?" Jinx said with a malicious yet kind smile.
Without even thinking the word "Deal' rolled off my tongue.
"Perfect! I'll see you tomorrow then, Private H, Gizmo lets go" she said as they all leaped out of my open window.
Damn it Wally you're a weak fool! I thought but, there was nothing I could do her eyes were intoxicating!
What a day it's been, two groups want me to join up with them, one of them good and one bad. I held my head in my hands trying to understand what I've gotten myself into.
I would have to make a choice, Teen Titans or Hive Five, I couldn't do both, could I?
I doubt I would be able to ahhh, just thinking about it made my brain hurt, so I decided to put it to the back of my mind and try to enjoy my pizza while watching some TV.
Boy was I in for a rough day tomorrow.
So that was chapter 3, I hope you all liked the long awaited action also, this is where the story is really going to kick off as well as the romance element. I'm sure you've guessed who Wally is interested in by now lol. I appreciate all the views and don't forget to leave a review for which team Wally should join Teen Titans, Hive Five or could he do both? stay tuned!
