Chapter One: Team



It's been three months since I joined the team, and what three months its been. I quit my teaching job to become a full time Titan. Plus I had more than enough money in my bank to keep me going. Also, Dick had us training like twenty four seven because he wanted us at our best and I understood where he was coming from. But we all had breaking points, we had limits. I also study more of my spell-book, now that I knew who my parents really were, the book seemed to translate into English for me, like it was already like that. I studied minor spells that would be useful in battle or just for fun. I also felt more powerful with each spell I performed...

I stood on the training matt in the training room, with my gym outfit on. Jason was blindfolded holding a wooden sword, as Gar held one too but he wasn't blindfolded.

"When I give the word, come at me, and don't hold back," Jason spoke, he was in a fighting stance, ready for Gar but he nods. "Did you just nod?" Jason asks, like he had actually saw him do it.

"Yeah, got it. Just don't hold back," Gar responded, kind of not pleased doing this with him.

"Go!" Jason yells, and Gar quickly hits the wooden sword with his own, but Jason was quick and aimed it back at Gar, just under his chin. Gar cocks up his left eyebrow, impressed what Jason did. Gar puts his hand on Jason's sword and lowers it, before taking another swing but Jason dodges it and strikes at Gar. His sword at his chest as Gar's back was facing me. He raises his hand in front of Jason and waved making sure he couldn't see, I couldn't help but chuckle at him.

"He can't see," I told Gar as my chuckled died off. Jason removes his sword and took his stance once again as well did Gar. Within a moment, Gar strikes at Jason, but he blocks it, swinging his sword around with Gar's and striking the air, but Gar ducks his attack. Jason strikes again, but Gar was quick and countered it with his sword, Jason uses his strength and pushes them both back. But Gar knees down as Jason's sword slides off of Gar's. Jason quickly turns back around and strikes once again, Gar making contacted with him. Gar swirls around and aims for Jason's feet, but he dodges that. Jason swings his sword at Gar's legs, but Gar jumps back and comes to his knees as it was close to get him. Jason didn't waste anytime and strike again making Gar roll forward out of the way. It was like watching a fast action movie with these two.

I continued to watch them, Jason got a few hits in and Gar dodged here and there, but Jason got too cocky and started to swing his legs around to hit Gar, but he was completely missing him. He did like a flip and a nice little trick it was, but he was facing the wrong way to Gar, so he comes up behind Jason and bangs him on the head with the wooden sword. It made a hard connection in his head.

Jason rips off the blindfold and spins to Gar. "Fuck, man!" He spoke angrily at him.

"You said don't hold back," Gar defeated himself as its what Jason had said to him, mere moments ago.

"What were you doing? I was fucking blindfolded," Jason went on, swearing some more. He has a foul mouth, but that was Jason.

"You said, 'Don't hold back,'" Gar spoke in a deep tone, mimicking Jason.

"Should I get the hose?" Rachel's voice entered the room as she came down the steps, my eyes turned to the right to see her.

"It was quite fun to watch," I spoke, as Jason made eye contact with me, giving me a glare. I moved further into the room, coming to stand next to Rachel.

"What's goin' on?" Dick states coming into the room, his eyes on Gar and Jason.

"We did what you said, the blindfold thing, then he went nuts on me," Jason replied, passing the blame on Gar.

"He said, 'Don't hold back,'" Gar responded his voice raised slightly.

"Then why do we even learn to fight like this, man?" Jason questioned. "Hey, it's idiotic. We have eyes," Jason points to his eyes, making the point clear.

"In battle, anything can be taken from you," Dick started, taking a few steps forward. "Your hands," while he spoke he grabbed Jason hand with the sword in, twisting it around and took the sword. Then went to strike at Gar, but he blocked it, but Dick found a way out and strike the ground. "Your feet," he went on before striking the sword at Rachel, just inches from her eyes, but she didn't even flinch. "And your eyes. Not matter what is taken, you must be able to keep fighting, and win," he explained to us, lowering the sword and turned face the boys. "All right, get changed. Attack scenarios in the tech room in five minutes. Then breakfast," Dick state to us, Rachel and Gar began to move out of the room.

"I hope you aren't making it," I teased in a playful manner, his cooking over the months haven't been so great. I left the room, hot on Rachel and Gar tails. We never seem to have any down time these days, I miss talking to them. It was training and training, one on one with Dick. Thoughts' I don't mind...

.....................................

I sat at my desk within my room, my spell book open as I flicked through another page. The day has been busy since this morning and now it was night time. I yawn as I flicked to another page of my spell book, but the book was huge, the spells within are complex and would take time to master. My eyes gazed at the wording on the current page, runes and symbols scribbled on it. But my mind was too sleepy to actually process anything right now. Suddenly, a blinding light came into my room, making me cock my head up to look at the window, the curtains closed, but the light present. Making me become fully aware.

"What the hell," I spoke to myself standing from the seat, and headed out of my room into the hallway. Just in time to bump into Gar and Rachel who were heading into the main room of the tower. As we entered the room, we see Jason and Dick already looking out of the window to the helicopter. But before we could ask Dick moves over to the fireplace, the TV hung above. I hear it turn it, as we came up the steps passing the fire and around the side to look up at the TV. Rachel sat on the coffee table, as Jason and Gar sat on the couch. I stood beside Rachel as I watch the car chase on the TV.

"Live at the downtown car chase in a stolen vehicle," the male news anchor spoke. "Police seem to have the suspect cornered," the man went on, but we all watched in anticipation. A girl exits the car, and rolls into action, starting to fight the police men and she was kicking their ass.

"Who the hell is that?" Rachel spoke, as I rose an eyebrow to the matter at hand. Whoever it was, she was a very skilled fighter.

"A total badass," Jason counters, he was totally amazed by her.

"Typical," I spoke under my breath my eyes were on Jason for a moment, before turning my gaze back on the TV to see the girl girl beating up the cops once, she grabs one and throws him to the side, before she jumps kicks the other and lands on the ground. The live feed zoomed in onto the girl, she had sliver hair, an bandage over her left eye like it had been hurt. However, more cops showed up and she began to run, towards the car she stole. She jumps on the car and leaps across to the other building, and she makes it, smashing into the window.

"I'll be back," Dick spoke, and stepped down the steps, and off he went, but we didn't stop him. I watch him go with a certain determination in his body. He was clearly a man on a mission...

*****

It had been just over an hour, Dick had found the girl on the streets, and brought her back here and helped her out. She was put in one of the spare rooms. Dick likes helping people, it was just who he was, and I liked that about him. Deep down he wants to do good for other people. The girl woke from her slumber and tried to leave the tower, but we were hot on her trail. She stood at the elevator door, trying to use the finger print scanner to open the doors, but it denied her.

"Going somewhere?" Rachel's voice boomed down the hallway, making the girl slowly turn around to face us all, staring her down. I stood in-between Gar and Jason, as Dick came into the picture. I felt Jason move to the right of me, but I held out my hand, touching his chest, but I also felt Rachel's hand there, both of us stopping him in his tracks.

"We need to talk," Dick had told the girl, but his gaze turned to us. "Alone," he went on, as we all nodded and off we went, heading to the training area just out of the way of this for now.

We got into the training room, Rachel and sat down as Jason got a wooden sword and began to practice his skills. Gar he gone somewhere, he did mention something about snacks. Rachel and I got settled on a bench type thing. After a few minutes, I hear Gar footsteps come into the room.

"So what do you think is going on out there?" Gar said, handing a carton box and a bottle to Rachel.

"He's probably finding out who she is," I replied to Gar as he passes me and sits opposite us.

"He's giving her a sell job. That's what he does, 'cause he can't resist a stray," Jason chipped into the conversation, making me take my gaze to him, for a moment, before I took my eyes back to Gar.

"I mean, I knew he'd be bringing in new people. I just... I guess I didn't think it'd be so soon," Gar states to us, and he did have a point.

"We don't even know if we can trust her," Jason went on, making me snap my head back to him. "Hell, we don't even know what the fuck she is," there's that foul mouth again.

"What she is, is a person who needs help," Rachel counters her gaze flickering between the boys.

"Or is she a person?" Gar states, making me give him a 'really' look. "How did she survive the jump?" Gar raised the question.

"So, you think she's a metahuman?" Rachel asks.

"Yeah, or an alien, like Kory," Gar retorted, making me go tense as he spoke the 'A' word, but I recovered quickly.

"If she was like Kory, those cops wouldn't be alive right now," I spoke back to Gar, cracking a smile at the thought. I so miss Kory...

"She can fight, all right. I'll give her that. Whoever, she is, she's had training," Jason went on, making me shake my head at him.

"Did you guys see her eye?" Gar asks, making a weird point. "When Dick was changing the bandage?" He explained further, making me have a confused expression on my face.

"What about it?" Rachel asks.

"It was gone. But the wound had already healed," Gar explained again, it was a questionable thing.

"Are you serious?" Jason asks, it was like the boys already was obsessed over her, but it made Rachel laugh.

"She's been here one hour, and you guys are already obsessed with her," Rachel spoke, smiling as her eyes flickered between Jason and Gar.

"She's a freak," Jason states, acting tough. "Look, my vote is we kick her ass out," Jason went on, making me frown at him, we don't decide stuff like that.

"Ok wait. Who says we even get a vote?" Gar responded.

"Who says she even wants to stay?" Rachel snapped back quickly. "Look, it's hard to believe, but maybe her idea of paradise isn't sharing a bathroom with you, Jason," Rachel sassed back, making me crack a laugh at the situation. I see Jason's eyes connect with mine holding a serious look, but also a playful one.

"I know how we can find out exactly who she is," Jason states his tone mischievous, and he's going to go behind Dick's back and do something. But there was no stopping him...
