*rustle*… *rustle*… *rustle*… He stirred in his sleep. He thought he was sleeping. But this bed… it felt like concrete. And his pillows were digging into him really uncomfortably.
"Hey…"
And with a jolt, his eyes shot open and he began to get up, before a wave a dizziness brought him back down. He squeezed his eyes shut, reached up with both hands and rubbed his head.
"Ugh…," was all he could say. He opened his eyes again and looked up, to the late afternoon sky. He could make out tall buildings around the edges of his vision. But he looked to the full moon that hung in the sky.
"Hey… Are you alright?" a voice asked. Although he was disoriented, he stopped himself from leaping back from the voice. The pain in his back told him he wasn't lying in a bed, but on the asphalt, and his pillows were boxes that were stabbing into his sides. After a few seconds, he lifted his head and looked upwards to the shadows that blocked an alley.
He could see a tall figure, but couldn't make out any features. Not feeling he was in danger, he slowly pushed himself up to sitting on the ground. He lifted his hand and rubbed the side of his head, the dizziness was finally letting up.
"… I-I'm alright…" he took a few breathes, before trying to find the strangers face "… thanks…"
The guy in the shadows stood still, before offering "you need any help?"
He started lifting himself off the ground, balanced his weight on his legs, and took a few more breathes to right himself.
"I think I'm good now…"
The mysterious guy then nodded his head, and began to turn.
"Wait…" and the guy turned around to look at him.
Not feeling in any danger, he took a few steps towards the person that woke him up. "Thanks for checking if I was okay." He noticed the guy get defensive when he walked up to him, but he didn't do anything.
"It's alright, I was just checking to see if you okay."
"You didn't have to do that… you could have just kept walking. I could have been some punk prowling the streets, but you checked on me." He stepped forward and held out his hand. "Thank you."
The guy looked at his hand, weighing what to do. After a few seconds, when he was about to take back the gesture, a sizable hand reached over and clasped his. He was trying to see the guys face, when his hand got his attention. Metal? Was it a prosthetic?
The guy must have noticed him staring, ended the hand shake and started turning again.
"Wait! Wait!" He rounded against the alley wall, getting In front of the guy. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare. I was just surprised that's-"
And with the street light overhead, he made out an African American... with a face plate?
"Yeah… well, you're welcome…" he said before heading out onto the sidewalk.
He stood frozen there, until a feeling in his stomach told him to follow the guy. "Please. I'm sorry if I upset you." He followed the guy down the block. "Thanks… thanks dude!" He smiled and said "My names…" and he stopped.
The guy stopped walking when he noticed he wasn't being followed. He turned around to see the stranger standing on the sidewalk. He looked lost, wasn't he just gonna tell him his name? He watched him raise his hand, and comb through his blonde hair. Blue eyes searching for something.
"I'm…" and he leaned to the side, just catching himself by pushing his hand against a wall.
He took a few steps closer, ready if he needed to catch him from falling.
"L… Lo…gan." He finally said. He looked like he was recovering, after a few inhales.
"… My names… Logan" and he stepped forward with his hand stretched out again.
Even after the episode he'd just had, he still wanted to make amends for staring earlier. He slowly lifted both his hands, and raised them to the hood of his jacket. He hesitated, then pulled down his hood, showing his entire head to the stranger. He looked, took in the appearance of the guy who went out of his way to check on him, then smiled.
"It's nice to meet you." He said
"Nice to meet you too, the names Cyborg."
And Logan kept his smile. "A cool name for a cool guy." And Cyborg couldn't help but grin at the compliment.
"Are you some kind of superhero?" Cyborg asked, gesturing to Logan's clothes.
Logan looked down realizing he felt a small draft. He was wearing tights. Red and white. They had tears along the shoulder and legs, with a gash around his torso. Why was he wearing tights, if they were fixed… he'd really look like a hero.
Cyborg watched as Logan spaced out again. Even though he just met the guy, he was starting to get worried.
"Are you alright-"
*woooOOOOSSSHHH!* Logan looked up as a green fireball was hurling down to Earth. Confused, Cyborg followed the direction Logan was looking, and his eyes opened wide.
"What the heck is that?" Cyborg asked. He'd never seen something so bright and crashing down into his hometown. After a few seconds, he looked over to Logan who was following the green light.
"... we have to go..."
"Go? You think the impact will reach us all the way over here?" Cyborg asked, worried that Logan maybe guessed an explosive element to the crashing, whatever it is.
"No... we have to go to that... thing. Help whoever needs us..." And before Cyborg could ask him what he was thinking, Logan shot off down the street. Soon after, they were both charging towards where the green light would crash. Cyborg looked to Logan and was going to ask him to hang back before.
*Roar!*
Was that a cheetah? Sure enough, a cheetah zoomed ahead of him. Where did Logan go? Wait… was that… The animal got to the edge of the main road in no time. He watched the cheetah turn into some kind of bird before taking to the sky.
Logan was flying. He didn't know where this drive came from, but he knew that he had to be here. Had to stop whatever was happening, or help whoever needed him. So he flew, and his eagle eyes zoomed to what exactly was crashing to the ground. When he was running, he thought it could be a radioactive comet. Maybe a crashing plane. Or it could be a missile, and he was running straight to his death. But if any lives were in danger, then he'd be right there to help.
A girl... A girl was crashing into the Earth! She was engulfed in a green light that almost blinded his enhanced eyes. But that didn't matter, she was unmoving like she was unconscious, so he flew faster until he met her in the sky. And he caught her midair. He looked down to her face, and realized she was not unconscious. Her eyes locked with his, eyebrows raised in confusion.
"Don't w-" then her momentum brought both of them crashing down. "Shiii!" He yelled when the force pulled him down. The street was getting closer and closer. Almost at ground level, he squeezed the girl into his chest before spinning them both. Making sure that he would take to brunt of the impact.
CRASH!
Cyborg skidded to a halt when he saw both Logan and whatever he caught crash into the street. Blinded by the green light that showered the surrounding area.
"Logan!"
-
She squinted her eyes. She was prepared for any hard surface of the planet she was crashing towards. She was surprised when she met a young man mid flight. She was more surprised when he caught her and attempted to talk to her before they both began to fall. She shifted and realized she was wrapped in something. Before she could break free from her constraints, the dust began to clear, and looking up realized she was wrapped in the young mans arms. Surprised, she was about to yell at the stranger when she noticed it. Blood. A lot of it. The young man who caught her, was covered in gashes, with blood streaks pouring from the edges of his mouth. Her eyes opened wide in fear. She... she killed someone in her landing!
"Logan!" She turned her head and looked up out of the crater they had formed. There stood another person, larger than her. Shock on his face, he froze looking at them both.
Cyborg didn't know what to think. Logan had been disoriented when he met him, looked like he suffered a hit to the head, then charged into danger without any concern for himself. THEN, the guy turned into animals, before flying into the sky chasing a glowing comet. NOW he was in the arms of a girl. But even though the thought of danger from the impact clenched his stomach, Logan's words played in his head.
'Help whoever needs us...'
Isn't that what he was doing. Ever since he'd left home after the fallout with his father, he had turned to crime fighting. He felt that with this cybernetic body, he could do good with it. And what better way to do good, then protect his hometown. But as soon as something dangerous came crashing down, he'd hesitated. And it took the words of a stranger to remind himself why he went out late at night.
Before Cyborg could say anything, he heard fast footsteps approaching. He looked to the side, and noticed a guy in red and green tights. Was that who he thought it was?
Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the girl rocket out of the crater. She hovered above, looking down to Logan with a scared look across her face. Cyborg looked also before grimacing at the sight. He heard their guest move to the edge of the hole, take a sharp inhale, then pull out a staff. Seeing Logan... like that. When he was just talking to the guy a few minutes ago.. Now. Covered in... He growled and raised his sonic cannon.
-
"You have to leave."
"Why, what's going on over there?" "Yeah! What was that crash?"
"Was there an explosion?"
She wanted to rub her temples at the bombardment of questions. But she had to stop these people from rushing towards the impact of what looked radioactive.
"There's a shining green light over where the crash was," the people hesitated "Don't risk your health or safety because you were curious. Call the police, and go back to your families." she finished. And slowly the people took to her words, and began to leave away from the impact.
She sighed, before turning in the direction of the crash. She floated to investigate the issue.
-
Cyborg and the other guy readied an attack against the girl. His sonic cannon was trained on her, but he hesitated. Logan saved this girl, caught her in mid air. She didn't do this to him. Not on purpose. The other guy looked over at him, grip tight on his staff.
"What are you doing" he asked. Confused that the metal guy wasn't attacking.
"... She didn't do it. Not on purpose..." He answered. And the other guy relaxed some.
"**** ** **** * *** ***" the girl yelled at the two of them. "*** *** ****** ***"
"Groin..." Three pairs of eyes looked down into the crater. At the bottom, Logan was picking himself up and swaying from side to side. "Man... i fell asleep again" He rubbed his head, and winced as he brushed against a gash on his forehead.
"Logan, you alright?!" Logan looked up at meet eyes with Cyborg.
"Yeah... I'm coming right up." and before Cyborg could tell him to stay put, he walked up the edge of the hole and made it to the street. He did not look good.
Logan stopped between Cyborg and the new guy.
"Who are you?" Logan asked. He didn't phrase the question like a demand, or say it in a way that the guy would take as demeaning. It was an honest question from the look Logan was giving him.
"… Robin." Robin said, staring at the guy covered in blood. Surprised he was standing at all.
Logan kept looking at him, like cogs were turning in his head, finally he asked "Robin… the Boy Wonder?"
That was the wrong thing to ask, as Robins face turned to a scowl. "I'm not here as Batman's sidekick," he growled.
"I'm sorry!" Logan said. Before feeling a hand on his shoulder. Looking over, he saw Cyborg shake his head.
"Leave him man, we got other things to deal with, like your health."
Logan stood and nodded his head, "I know… but I need to tell him I meant no disrespect." Cyborg looked Logan for a few seconds, taking in the guys sincerity. Logan turned back.
"I'm sorry I said that, I won't call you anything else other than Robin."
Robin didn't know what to say. The guy should be screaming, or at least passed out from blood loss. And here he was apologizing for a making a small observation.
Logan turned to the girl who was flying overhead. He saw the worry on her face. He noticed that all of them were looking at him funny, before looking down at himself. He wouldn't have much of an outfit if he continued this night. But he was sure it was the blood that was tripping the others out.
He closed his eyes and concentrated. Flexed his muscles slightly, and before the others, his wounds started to shrink and fade. He looked back up to the girl and smiled.
"See… all better." She slowly began to lower herself to the ground before him. Cyborg and Robin got in a defensive stance, not knowing what she would do.
"You don't look hurt, I'm glad for that." he continued. She finally landed, and after a few seconds took slow steps towards him.
She was a short distance from him, when Logan looked down at her arms. Realizing that they were bound he frowned.
"Are you trapped in those cuffs" he asked. She stopped. Then Logan began to walk towards her. She pulled back, surprised.
"I don't think you should let her out Logan, we don't know what she did to be put in them." Cyborg said.
"You shouldn't risk your and our safety letting her out until we know all the facts" said Robin.
But Logan ignored them and stopped right before her. He looked into her eyes, and couldn't sense anything bad about her. She looked back at him, confused by what he was saying and doing. He reached forward and grasped her hands, surprising her. He lifted them up to take a look. And she starred.
He tried not to give away that he didn't know what he was doing, or that he didn't know what this metal handcuff was.
She looked down to her arms, and after a few seconds felt a tingling sensation. Then a strange feeling within her muscles and bones. Just as she was about to pull her arms away...
*clank*
And the feeling was gone. and her sleeved forearms were free. She
pulled back some to see the handcuffs on the floor, still locked.
She looked up into his eyes and was captured by his smile, "see... you're all better too. He stopped as he sensed someone new enter the street, but waited to see who they were.
She stared at him, until she reached up and grabbed his collar.
"Hey... I'm sorry if I-" and smooch. A deep kiss he wasn't expecting to have this night caught him off guard. Through the shock and confusion, he felt his lips tingle against hers. Before she pushed him back.
"If you wish to not be de-"
"Wow!" Logan cut her off. She was shocked at being interrupted. He lifted his hand to comb through his hair with a blush spreading across his face. "I-I'm flattered."
"Rgh! I must go, the Gordanians will be here shortly. I-
*Growl* She looked down to her stomach, but looked up at him to continue.
"I repeat, I must g-"
"Are you hungry?" He interrupted her again. She looked at him in bewilderment. She was about to demand he leave her before-
"Do you want food, you sound hungry." Then he grabbed her wrist before pulling her to Cyborg.
"Hey Cy, I think she's hungry. I heard her stomach growl." Cyborg stared at Logan. The dude was full of surprises. After the whole ordeal of space crashing aliens, he goes and releases her from her restraints and wants to take you out to eat.
Logan turned when he remembered the new person that arrived after the crash. And saw a girl in blue robes.
—-
Logan stared at her, until she began to feel uncomfortable. She wrapped her upper body with her arms and turned slightly. Realizing what he was doing to her, Logan quickly turned away. "I-I'm sorry…" She could feel the shame and embarrassment roll off him. He continued to look away. "I'm sorry… I shouldn't have looked at you like that… I'm sorry." He whispered the last part. Cyborg and Robin looked at the two confused. She glanced around the small group before releasing herself.
"It's okay… just don't stare at me like that."
"… I won't… thank you." Logan said before slowly turning to her. His face showed he truly regretted upsetting her. He looked to her again , locking eyes with her shadowed face.
"My names Logan..." he continued smiling. She looked down behind him and realized he was still holding the redheads arm.
"Raven..." He continued smiling.
"Raven... that's a nice name" Then the redhead pulled her arm free from his grasp. Surprised, he turned around and said "Shoot, I didn't get your name! I'm Logan!" he said and raised his hand to her. She began to rub her sore arms that were stiff from her handcuffs.
"There is no time! My captors are on their way to retrieve me. And they will stop at nothing to return me to their stronghold!"
"Captors?" Cyborg asked. "Are you being abducted?"
"Yes! and they will destroy anything and anyone who stands before them."
Robin stepped forward "Who are your kidnappers? Who are the Gordanians?"
"They are a vicious race of lizard people that travel the galaxy committing genocide of smaller planets and abducting female species for enslavement. They wish to trade me to the Citadel and force me into servitude."
The street grew deathly quiet after her explanation. Something like that was coming here. The other teens felt their stomachs sour at the thought of an alien race willing to destroying Jump City, or even Earth.
"We wont let that happen." Logan finally said. He looked to the others. "Right?"
He didn't get a response, before Robin stepped forward.
"You're right, if there is a threat we have to do what we can to stop it. No matter who they are, or what they are." Logan smiled at him.
"That's what I'm talking about!" he turned to Cyborg. "What about you dude, are you up to helping out our new friend here?" he gestured to the redhead. Cyborg looked at Logans hopeful face, turned to the alien that had crashed from space, then to the other two that stood close by. He remembered why he was patrolling the streets, his talk with Logan about doing what they could to help. He finally nodded.
"I'm in..."
"Robin?" Logan asked turning to the caped hero.
"... I wasn't expecting to get involved with a team tonight, but... with a danger like these Gordanians coming to the city, I'm in."
He finally turned to Raven.
"What about you Raven?" he asked with a smile. "You came to the crash sight instead of leaving, ready to be a hero?"
"... I'm not really a hero..."
"Let's just say a can sense good in people, and by that nice heroine outfit you have, I'd say you got a few tricks to you." he said with a grin.
She couldn't help the small smile that spread across her face. Logan took that as a yes. Finally he turned to the redhead.
"What about you miss? Would you let us help you?"
She stared at him in wonder. From the moment she met him in the sky, she had no idea who this person was or what his intentions were. But then he grabbed her, held her protectively like a savior, even though he did not know the danger he was putting himself in. She was too exhausted to fight him off, and began to worry the closer they approached the ground. Then he held her tightly and shielded her from impact, sacrificing himself even though she would not be harmed once she hit the surface. She regained focus only to se him underneath her covered in scars and bleeding. Almost dead. She feared she was responsible for his death, panicked and launched herself away from him. She was worried that his allies would take up arms against her for their comrades death. But then he got up, willed the scars from 'saving' her away, then smiled. Offered his help in the face of a looming threat he and the others had no business in. Then he speaks to his comrades to aid her also...
"... my name, on this planet, would be Star. Fire." she finally said.
Logan smiled "It's nice to meet you Starfire." and she couldn't help but give a smile back.
*growl*
"Dude!" he rounded on Cyborg. "We don't know when those bad guys are gonna show up, we need food fast!" Cyborg shook his head, this guy could make your head spin. All eyes turned to him.
"... There's a pizza joint a few block away from here."
Logan snaps his fingers "Alright! We fuel up before the bad guys show their ugly mugs.
"... I can teleport us." Raven said shyly. Logan turned to her and gave her a grin.
"I knew there was something special about you." she smiled.
"We get food, then strategize." he turned to Robin. "What do you think about that Robin?"
Robin looked back confused, why was he asking him?
"You have more experience as a hero than any of us. If there's someone i trust to lead us to victory, its you." Logan smiled.
Robin looked to the others. Logan with a hopeful smile. Cy with a critical look, sizing him up. Raven with a questioning feature to her hooded face. And Starfire lost in all this.
"I came to this city to try my hand at a solo gig... but if your all okay with this, i can do my best to lead us to save the city." he finally said.
-
*scarf!* *scarf!* *scarf!* *scarf!*
The others slowly ate their slices of pizza, giving a side glance to Starfire as she devoured her whole pizzas. Pizzas! Even the waitress stood frozen as she just brought the order to these costumed teenagers. Guilt started to fill them, as they realized she was captive before meeting her, and she must not have had a meal for some time.
"So they are traveling by ship?" Robin asked. Starfire paused again to continue her description and any information she could give them.
*scarf!* "Yes. There will be a large number of foes in the ship that will come to retrieve me. Lead by their General Trogar."
"And their abilities?"
"The minions of the Gordanians can fly, they posses strength that can easily break body and limb, and have spear like weapons that emit lightning. Their greatest strength is their numbers."
"And the General?
"He possess the similar attributes to his underlings, although he is stronger than all of them. His greatest weapon would be the particle canon that is part of his ship, and is capable of massive destruction when fired."
Damn...
They finished their meal and let the food settle. They listened to Starfire tell them what to expect from the looming threat, all while looking up to the sky. After some time...
"We got company." Cyborg said.
Up above, a small orange dot began to make its decent, which turned out to be a ship.
"We need to find a way to stop them from reaching the surface." Robin said. He looked to Raven, "You teleported us here, can you do it again?"
"I can... but not all the way up there."
"How about I give us a lift?" Logan asked, before jumping back. then right in front of them, shifted into a large falcon. Scratch that... a GIANT falcon! Large enough for all of them to climb on his back.
"He can turn into a giant bird?" Asked Robin.
"I've seen him change into a cheetah, i think he might be an animal shapeshifter." Cyborg replied. Robin nodded his head and addressed the team and giant bird.
"We'll ride on Logan up close to the ship, then Raven can find a safe space to teleport us inside." Everyone nodded, then climbed on Logans back before he took to the sky. They held on to his feathers as they approached the ship. They all began to sweat when the large particle cannon was prominent on the ship.
'We cant let them fire that thing,' they all thought.
-
"General Trogar, we've sensed this planet has launched a projectile at us. What shall we do?" asked a minion of the Gordanians.
"Send out half the army to seize this habitat, have the others brace for whatever these creatures have sent to us."
-
Sensing an open area within the ship, Raven raised her hands and chanted. "Azarath! Metrion! Zinthos!" and they were once again engulfed in black energy. Logan changed back to human, just in time to make it within Raven's bubble and they appeared in the ship.
"Whats that rumbling?" asked Robin.
"I do not know. Perhaps the Gordanians are moving throughout the ship?" Starfire answered.
"Whatever they're doing, we need to get to the General and fast."
"Do not hesitate, attack swiftly as they will not show mercy or surrender." they all nodded. As soon as the corridor opened, they blew through their foes without stopping. Their enemies stood little chance after the attack that came from behind. Robins staff slammed into bodies, as he maneuvered between enemies. Cyborg ran and slid along the floor, firing his sonic cannon in different directions to help clear the room. Raven chanted aloud and offered shields to her comrades, while also blowing back the invaders. Starfire released her pent up fury, after her imprisonment, and delivered heavy blows to her captors. And Logan shifted between animals throughout the room. Charged into groups of bad guys, slithered between foes that threatened the city and his friends. They heard the ship begin to hum.
"The particle cannon!" yelled Stafire. They all began to race faster down the hallway. As they continued to clear another room, Starfire spoke again.
"Something is the wrong..."
"What, what's wrong?" Robin yelled. The others turned to her as they continued running through the hallways of the ship.
"There are not many Gordanians on the ship, there are less present than when i was captured." They felt their stomachs twist at the news. "Up ahead!" She yelled. They all assumed correctly that it was the main control room of the ship, when they burst open the door to a large platform with a captains seat at the helm.
"Interesting, i thought this planet may have sent an explosive to destroy my ship, but it was only an attack force."
"Cyborg, analyze the room for any controls to the cannon!"
"On it!"
"I will not allow that."
Then from both sides of the room, Gordanian soldiers fired their lightning spears at the teens. Raven barely raised a shield to protect them, but the blast shook and disoriented the group of heroes. Just as her shield lowered, they fired upon them in a second wave. Logan quickly turned into a giant snake and wrapped himself protectively around his friends.
BLAST! and he reverted back to human, skidding across the room.
"Logan!" before the teens knew it, their enemy charged at them, and upon bashing them, separated the teens from one another.
"I'm surprised that a planet this size, has only sent such a small task force to stop us from our landing. Perhaps a full scale invasion is in order."
The teens quickly shook off their foes, and after situating themselves, tried to push back against the enemy. Robin dodged lightning attacks and was knocking out any that stood in his way. Raven threw a dark field of energy to remove the Gordanian that was on top of her, before throwing black energy at the others. Cyborg was split between firing his sonic cannon and using his arm terminal to search for hidden controls for the ships main weapon.
Before Starfire could regain balance after taking a surprise lightning hit, she felt a blow to the back of her knee that dropped her. But before she could fall to the ground, she turned and was grabbed by the neck.
"Is this the warrior princess of Tamaran? I thought you would be more of a fight. Is this the best you can do?"
"W-where a-are the o_thers!" she choked.
"Haha, you finally realized. I sent half my army down to the surface to retaliate against this planet's attack against me."
His words pushed the teens into a frenzy, but between the lightning blast and crazed attacks from the enemy, they were struggling to stop the horde. Let alone the General.
"But don't you worry princess. You wont have to trouble yourself with this planet safety. Soon, you'll be on your way to the Citadel, and your only concern will be bowing to the whims of your mast-"
ROAR!
All eyes looked to the giant werewolf that suddenly appeared before them. Even Trogar was surprised at this beast that suddenly appeared in the main control room. Before he knew it, a shower of his men flew in the wake of a golden blur, before a large fist crashed into his face. He released the Tamaranian before flying across the room and impacting the wall. What followed was a rain of blows that the general couldn't stop. Fallen and defeated, he could only look up, covered in blood and bruises, at the beast that raised its final attack. But it hesitated as its giant paw shook, and after a few seconds, lowered its attack. It transformed back to the red and white creature that had entered the room earlier. Togar then fell to the floor unconscious.
The humming within the ship grew louder, and the gordanians stood stalk still after watching their general utterly defeated. Robin and Raven used this opportunity to launch explosive disks and magic to knock unconscious the rest of their foes.
"THE CONTROL PANEL ON THE LEFT! MY SENSORS READ IT CONTROLS THE TILT AXIS OF THE SHIP!" Cyborg yelled. He turned and punched the Gordanian that was holding him down before running to the control. The others hobbled to the panel to join him.
"I cant stop the cannon, but if we push this section of platform to tilt the ship..." He didn't have to say more. All five of them rained blows on the large metallic plate and they began to feel the ship tilt back. The small explosions they could see out of the captains windows, across the streets of Jump City, drove them to push harder. Until the ship started to face forward, then upwards. They held onto the console, until the ship was facing to the open sky.
Then it fired.
A great Yellow beam of energy blasted into space. Away from Jump City. Away from Earth. And the ship began to crash towards the ground. Raven surrounded the group and fazed them through the ship as it finally made impact with the surface. The ship sunk into the ground of a small island off the beach of Jump City.
Out of danger, and checking on the group, Raven lowered them to the pier. They looked out into the city, as the Gordanians stopped their attack, to witness the fall of their ship. Before they knew it, they were overwhelmed by the group of heroes.
-
The morning sun rose above the horizon, and the teens looked out at the ship that crashed onto the island. Exhaustion was shared amongst the group.
They looked at one another, before turning to the authorities and special task forces that were handling the aftermath of the invasion.
Logan looked at the others, nodding his head.
"You guys... were amazing!" he said with a smile. The others looked at him like he was crazy. He walked until he was in the middle of the group and held out his hand. "Way to go team!" and he shook his hand waiting for the others to join in. The others stared at him in bewilderment.
"... team?" Logan asked. looking around the group with his hand still stretched out.
Then he heard steps and a soft hand placed over his. With a confused look on her face, Stafire met his eyes and said. "Team... yes."
Then heavy steps before a large hand covered theirs. "Sure, why not." Logan smiled before looking to his side.
"Robin?"
Robin looked to the others, and despite his coming here to go solo, walked to the group and placed his hand in.
"Team"
They all looked to Raven, who looked at each of their faces. She finally settled on Logan, who gave her a great big smile.
"It's not complete without you Rae..." And even though she was slightly peeved at him calling her a shortened version of her name, She stepped forward.
"Team..."
"Booyah!"
