Fandom The New Teen Titans

[AcidSnowflake]

Lilly knelled down beside Al. She felt horrible, but no amount of belly-aching was going to make things ok. She was afraid to touch him, seeing the places where his body was burned from her. She stayed beside him, not knowing how to help him as he regained his breath. "I...I have a salve in my room for burns. I have never needed it...but people who are around me tend to." She averted her eyes. He had every reason not to trust her. She should never have agreed to spar with him.

 

[BlackJack]

Denaki watched lily from a ways away and began walking over his hair over his eyes as he strode towards her "Everything over here okay?...." he asked walking closer and closer to see Al in the sand covered in burns and Lilly Half naked, Denaki looked at his get up, he had a big thick hoodie on so he took it off and walked over to lilly handing her the hoodie "Please put this on, I am sure you don't want to be half naked out here..." he says the cold and the heat she was producing seemed to just equal each other out making the air between a normal temperature, Denaki was awfully close to Lilly but he could see she was freaking out so he did not mind, The hoodie was ice cold sadly, but maybe she could warm it or it could cool her off.

 

[AcidSnowflake]

"No, I wouldn't say everything is ok..." Lilly said, standing up. She reached out and took the hoodie from Denaki. It was cold, as if it had been sitting in the snow for a few days, but she didn't mind. She opened it up and slipped it on over her head. It hung down to her mid-thigh and almost instantly started to heat up. Lilly noticed how close Denaki was to her and took a step back. "Thank you." She stated simply.

 

[IceQueen]

Miki walked over to Ben. "Having luck?" She asked, looking around. She smiled at him as he worked on the suit. She though it was cool how he could build all the things that she could destroy. Then again, he did say they might be able to create a sonic cannon with her voice powers. "I remember you said something about a voice cannon?" She said, inquisitively. She was quite interested with it.

 

[BlackJack]

Now parts of denakis chest showed and they seemed to emit some sort of steam as the hot sun came down on him, once he took of the hoodie oddly enough he seemed to get colder which was very odd considering he was wearing a hoodie. Denaki looked at Al and walked over to him "Don't mention it..." he says awkwardly, he had not been that close to a fire person and he did not want that to happen again so he just stayed his distance, plus he had not been around a half naked one, day 2 and everything was already weird as it seemed, Denaki put his hands on Al's burns then took them off "These are not first degree burns so my ice will only harm them..." he sighs getting up and starting to walk off, he forgot he had given her his hoodie at the moment and did not care as long as she was clothed so other team mates did not flip.

 

[BrownBear]

Al laid in the sun... in a meditative breathing state... his skin was slowly regenerating and going back to normal. The use of sun and electricity was his greatest abd fastest source of energy as well as food and other elements. After a couple of minutes he sat up and looked out into the ocean. He got up and looked at Lilly. "Ill be working out now. Dinner will be ready afterwards." He nodded to her and walked by with a straight face. Like nothing happened.

 

[AcidSnowflake]

Lilly nodded feebly at Al as he walked by. Once he was gone she looked out over the ocean. She crumpled down to her knees, recalling the events that just took place. What it was inside her that snapped. She closed her eyes and concentrated. Deciding that she just needed to meditate on it, she got up off the ground. She entered the tower and took the elevator up to the rooms. Slipping into her room, she shut the door behind her. She changed into a new set of clothes quickly and went to find the laundry room to wash Denaki's hoodie. She finally found it and started the washer before heading back towards the elevator. She entered and rode it all the way too the roof. She exited the building on the roof-top, feeling the sun on her body and the wind rush through her hair. She walked toward the edge and stopped about five feet from it. She sat down cross legged, manifested a tear-drop of flame, and began meditating.

 

[Der Kojote]

Ben nodded at Miki, "Yeah well... i've been looking at Cyborg's sonic cannon.and as per usual I though... "How the hell could I make that better..." he unrolled a blueprint on the desk, large amounts of writing was scrawled across, number and equations filled form one side to the other, one or two coffee stains also were apparent, but they didn't interrupt the flow of writing. "So...here's what I'm thinking. cyborg's cannon was powerful enough, I study your powers... I may get a the right frequency to maximize damage. Then next I'm going to make a program to track if it's meeting the resonant frequency...if it does, the sound wavelength will stay on that... long enough it shakes itself apart."

 

[IceQueen]

Miki nodded. "I understand, sort of." She said. She thought about the thing and looked at him. "That actually makes sense. But it is going to be hard. It took me forever just to figured out how to compress them. And I destroyed a lot of rooms because of that. That's probably why this building is so new." She said, looking at him.

 

[Der Kojote]

Benjamin replied with a smile, "That caution Miki is what separates us from the super villains." He started tinkering with a speaker system connected to a tube, "We worry about people, don't want to hurt others, words like collateral damage, and civilian casualties make us cringe, we say 'could we have stopped it? What else could I have done?' The design would take months if not years of testing... all of which will be worth it if I can fire it accurately, stop a villain in his tracks, and protect an innocent from being injured. Until then...I've made this in my spare time." He finished adjusting the speaker in the tube, he attached it to something that looked like a bazooka. Though wires ran up and down it, and the front had a pulsing speaker. He picked it up and walked over to a slab of concrete, "Introducing the Sonic sledge Mk.1. having an external system saves my suit on power drain." He picked up a set of headphones and put them on, passing the other pair to Miki, "A dubstep concert got nothing on this."

 

[IceQueen]

Miki picked up the headphones, just to humor him. She had no idea how loud this thing was and she was not keen to damage the only protection her ears had. She wouldn't be a very good sound super if she couldn't block out the noise she made. She smiled at him and gave a thumbs up before looking back at the contraption.

 

[Der Kojote]

Upon seeing her thumbs up Ben nodded, "Alright! Test fire one...lets see how well this thing works. Firing in 3...2...1!" Similar to Cyborg's sonic cannon, a blue beam shot from the weapon, what was different was that it was rapidly fluctuating, a definite shudder could be felt at the points where the sound got louder, the beam also got larger as the sound increased. The concrete began to get blasted away, Chips began flying away from it. Ben only let got of the trigger when the slab was almost clean through. "That's only when I hold it down...A quick burst? gonna knock villains off their feet, leave em' with a terrible headache as well."

 

[IceQueen]

Miki laughed and grinned. "My vocal chords can do ten times that and more." She said, looking at the sad slab of broken concrete. "But for a man made object, not bad." She said, nodding. She looked at him. His expression was priceless. He looked so excited about his new weapon. She smiled and giggled, looking away before he caught her staring.

 

[BlackJack]

Denaki wandered back to the tower watching Lilly from a ways away then he went inside and grabbed food and walked back up to where he seemed to live, the roof, it was peaceful and he could watch everything up there and be in peace but when he opened the door to walk out ontothe roof he noticed Lilly up there, No, no, why was she there, he loved the roof and now his greatest fear was up there too now. Denaki stood froze in the door way the door sslowly creaking open. Denaki noticed she was clothed now which was good, he was kinda freaked out by that and more freaked out that they were so close, fire and ice should never be close, never ever in his head. Denaki had another hoodie on but he liked the one he gave her way better but she had it somewhere and he had no clue where she out it.

 

[AcidSnowflake]

Lilly's concentration broke and the flame in front of her dissipated when she heard the door creaking behind her. Turning around she saw Denaki standing in the doorway. Practically horror stricken. Great, he's probably scared of me even more now that he saw what I did to Al. She thought to herself. Standing up, she walked over toward Denaki. "I'm washing your hoodie. You'll get it back at supper. Thanks for letting me use it." With that she squeezed by him, brushing his body with her hand, feeling the cold, but her heat didn't get sapped away, as her hand returned to it's normal temperature as soon as she got by. She walked back to the elevator and took it down to the rooms. She walked into her bedroom, up to the large window, sat down like she was before and continued meditating from where she left off.

 

[BlackJack]

Denaki watched her pass by him, he was not afraid of her, he saw something else in her, he saw his brother, and that scarred him greatly, that was a long story and it ended badly, that's why he hated fire so much and was afraid of it "So you found the roof, how great........" he says to her as she walked past him "You do not have to leave, that expression was because I thought i would have this rooftop to myself, but i guess not...." he says walking the other way, he was not afraid of what she could do other then her burning her clothes off, then he would have to keep lending her hoodie's "I don't care about the hoodie..." he lies as she exited and he stood on the very edge of the building... there was nothing to fear up there, he felt amazing up there.

 

[BrownBear]

Al worked out hard, finishing up with cardio then yoga in sauna. He spent a long time in his tub after his shower, contemplating his life and his decisions. He decided that the fact that he took a year to train by himself in empty parking lots and woods really helped him. He was just like these people who had no self control, but he realized that through training the physical body, he could control what he called not "powers" but "enhancements." The energy the coursed through his veins was no different than the normal human body in his mind. All humans got energy from the sun, nature, and foods. Its just that his powers were advanced. He didnt like to refer to his vector manipulation as that. He liked calling it his "Chi." He believed it was just an extension of himself, because he could block, carry, and strike just like anyone else, it was just added on. By realizing this he controlled himself. He learned to not rely on Relampago his lightning sword, and for awhile fought villains without the need of his powers.


"Its not their fault." Al told himself, trying his hardest to believe it. "They just need time..." He got out of the tub and changed into gym shorts, a tank top and flip flops. He grabbed a hookah pen, mango flavored, out of his suitcase and took the elevator to the roof. He used to smoke before but decided he should stop for awhile, since you know the Justice League was watching him. He was a little addicted to the action more than anything and picked up vaping and hookah pens. He loved the look of fire and smoke, especially on a cool breezy evening like this. He needed this before he would start cooking tonights dinner.


The elevator opened and he saw Denaki standing there. Al sighed internally. He really didnt want to feel depressed right now, but saw no point in turning back now. He stuck the pen in his mouth and began puffing and making O's. Al took a seat on a folding chair and watched the city. "So... hows life?" He asked without looking at him.

 

[BlackJack]

"Man I can't have this roof to myself can I..." Denaki says looking over at Al, wondering how the burns were doing but he did not ask, he stood on the edge looking down at the water the wind coursing through his hair "God I hate smoking" he says randomly his voice not quiet and sad as before it was normal now. "How was fighting with Lilly, she seems pretty mad or sad or something over it, plus she made it ten times weirder by being half naked.." he says, he felt weird knowing his team in that way, as he looked down somewhere deep down wanted to just fall off the building with out a care in the world but if his ice did not save him he would probably die from that height.

 

[BrownBear]

Al ignored his discomfort with another puff. It was nicotine free and tasted good. Whatever. "Never seen a naked girl before? hehehe." Al chuckled to himself. He used to go into clubs with the fake IDs his uncle gave him. He was a criminal and made a living off of it. Al never seemed to mind. The guy was family, and always helped him. With any problems. He looked at him and the way he looked down from the roof. "Youve got problems bro.... you should consider a therapist man...." Al said calmly. "And as for the fire chick, lilly, it is what it is... Its safe to say she had the upperhand, but i won with a little plan." He smiled. He really did think he won, even though it looked like a tie. He saw it as a game. He really doesnt care if his life is in danger or not to be honest. Al generally had a relaxed, IDGAF attitude towards life, which has gotten him in to trouble.

 

[BlackJack]

"Don't think therapists like crazy people" he states looking down still and thinking to himself for a moment "And no I have never seen a naked chick, and she was half naked not completely, She had my hoodie as well so I did not see anything which is great by the way, but now my hoodies in the possession of a crazy flame lady" he sighed, he did not thoroughly enjoy any of this Team work stuff, he hated working as a team. Denaki looked back at Al "Neither of you won, that was a crazy out of control mess, lets not let that happen again, i watched that from up here I know what happened....." he says his voice going back to its depressing ways "Dont think I am cut out for this when all i can do is make people depressed and let him take over me...." Denaki looked at the water, he had never swam in his life, he couldn't.

 

[BrownBear]

"Therapists get paid for that stuff..." Al shook his head. He raised his hand and it disappeared. It reappeared with a water bottle from his mini fridge and twisted the cap, drinking. "And I beg to differ... but thats ok." He smirked before setting it in his lap and puffing some more. "You watched but did nothing?... wow... you people are insane. You specifically have a horrible personality. I dont care how powerful you are. If you are weak here." He pointed to his heart. "Youre weak. Period. I really hope you learn to stop." He got up and walked back to the elevator. "If you dont try to get better, i suggest you leave. We dont need people like that around here... dinner will be ready in a few." He winked at him and pushed the button going down.


Once down he began chopping, seasoning, boiling and cooling all his ingredients in the kitchen...

 

[Der Kojote]

Ben laughed a bit under his breath, "Still I needed something, and the parts that I used to make just happened to be on hand, i'll keep modifying it, tweaking it...give it a month or 2 and it'll really be something. Rome was not built in a day, nor are any of my little gadgets, and neither are ever perfect." He walked over to his power suit. "I'll need to give this a test run as well. If all goes well, this thing is gonna be on hell of a ride.

 

[BlackJack]

"There is a reason for that..." Denaki says before he leaves, Denaki knew he should leave but where would he go, he had no family, they were dead, no friends, no girlfriends he had absolutely nothing here or there but leaving felt like a good idea...Al was right in Denakis mind, he knew that leaving was the only true way for that team to form, he was no help to the team anyway and him and Lilly would destroy things if they ever fought, cities would freeze and towns would burn, he would know because it has happened before just not with lilly in the picture, the only way to fix it was to accept what had happened and come to term with his evils, but he never could do that. Denaki smirked at the ground below and jumped back onto the titan building and walked over to the door, but he did not open the door no he turned and ran at the ledge leaping out into the air, for a while there he felt at peace but he eventually had to use his powers to land safely, then he began to walk across the lake heading towards the city, like Al said, what help was he to the team anyway.

 

[IceQueen]

Miki smiled. "If you want to fight me, I will be all in favor of testing out your little suit." She said. "Just hope I don't blast the armor strait off you." She said, grinning at him. She could probably if she tried, but she didn't want to hurt him. Plus he worked so hard on his gadget, she didn't want to upset him.

 

[AcidSnowflake]

Lilly got out of her meditative trance and felt better. She walked down to the laundry room and noted that the hoodie was now dry. She removed it from the machine and slung it over her shoulder. The tower seemed quiet as she walked to the elevator and rode it to the living area. She walked into the room and into the kitchen for a glass of water. She filled her glass and took a large swig. She walked over to the table and sat the hoodie down on the table. "Want any help with dinner?" She asked Al.
