Team Titans: The Roleplaying Adventures

[The Jeffinator]

It was Wednesday, October 31st -- Halloween. Such a day always came with chaos and discord, thugs and scoundrels taking advantage if the holiday. As such, Dick Grayson donned the suit he had worn so many times before, patrolling the streets on his R-Cycle as Robin the Teen Wonder. Riding along side him was his long time ally, Roy Harper, AKA Speedy. The two often worked together, having met as children years ago when their mentors would meet from time to time. They did most of their patrols together, and this night was no different.

Crime was always bad in the Big Apple, but it got even worse on holidays. Fortunately, they were not the only heroes out on patrol. Over the course of the afternoon, they passed several others who were on patrol, and so far nobody reported anything out of the ordinary. Sunset came, and as night fell, Robin prepared himself for whatever might be around the next corner.

“Speedy, did you hear that?” Robin said, skidding his bike to a halt. “That sounded like someone screaming! But, it’s gone now!” he listened closely, but nothing. “Dammit! Who the hell was that...”

“There’s a disturbance in Central Park,” said a deep voice from above them. Robin and Speedy looked up to see a mysterious man in black. He jumped down and pointed. “In Central Park. Just got word of it from a secret source. I’ll meet you there. Supposedly, there are several of them.” and suddenly the man did a sort of wall-hop and vanished over the roof of a building. Robin and Speedy sped off towards the park, and sure enough, there was trouble. Several villains were terrorizing kids and their parents in the park, stealing candy and ripping off their costumes. Robin hit the NOS and sped up, riding up the back of a car into the air, where he leapt from his bike and extended his staff in midair. He fell into the group of villains, and began twirling around his staff, knocking people left and right. Suddenly there was gun fire, and Robin realized he was being shot at. He looked up to see what at first glance looked like a giant robot spider, but turned out to be a small man wearing spider legs.

Jumping and flipping around to prevent getting shot in the head or arms, Robin maneuvered a flawless display of incredible martial arts talent. Then, jumping into a tree and swinging from the branch, he landed right behind the spider guy a split second before he could react, and took the advantage to bring the staff down on his opponent’s head and then jump forward to land several punches.

Garth, vaguely registered the fact that it was halloween, being an Atlantean, he had never had the chance to experience these human holidays, and upon seeing costumed children walking down the sea front, had decided to take a walk through the city.

He wasnt stupid, he knbew that if costumed children were around costume villians wouldn't be far behind.

He reached an intersection and took a gulp of his water, noting that he was nearly out, and his skin was drying out a bit.

Suddenly he heard a loud scream, and running towards it noticed a pair of motorcycles over take him, heading in the same direction, and he could have sworn they looked like the heroes Robin and Speedy, as he had met them when his mentor had worked with their respective mentors many years ago, but had never really got to know them.

He started to run after them, and soon reached a large park, where the two of them seemed to be fighting a large crowd of criminals, including a strange looking one who appeared to have 8 legs.

Shaking his head, he ran towards them and started fighting the criminals.

 

[dragonrazor]

Roy Harper Jr. had always hated Halloween. It was the one holiday he knew of where the criminals came out of the woodwork. And on top of that, he and Dick did not really have an excuse to wear their costumes for fun. They had been on patrol for most of the afternoon without more than a couple of bank robberies, when Robin mentioned hearing a scream. Speedy thought he had heard it, but couldn't be sure, as they had been going pretty fast and the bikes tended to drown out noise. And unfortunately, his bike didn't have any audio sensors on it. He frowned under his cowl hood, and made a note to himself to talk to Arrow about that. When the man in shadowy clothes jumped down from a rooftop, Speedy already had an arrow out and nocked, in case he needed it, and aimed at the stranger.

When the stranger confirmed the scream, and then jumped up the wall like one of those guys one would see in a Kung Fu movie, Speedy just watched in awe. Before they headed to the park, he just had to say it. "We so gotta learn to do that." The next moment, they were both zooming towards Central Park West.

Speedy took in the scene with the speed he was famous for. He counted at least three costumed criminals, one of whom had some sort of mechanical spiderlegs. Short guy, too, Speedy realized as he studied him. He drew an arrow again, and nocked it to his bow. "So, do we do this from the bikes, or give them a sporting chance?" He grinned, looking at Robin.

---

Bart Allen had been moving fast, just exploring the city. He hadn't actually had the chance to do so yet, so he figured now or never. He had chosen New York because he figured no one there would remember The Flash's reputation. It hadn't helped, unfortunately. Still, he carried on. He heard a scream, and since he was fairly close to the park, he figured that was where it came from. So he skidded to a stop, then took off again in the direction of the park.

 

[NiteCrowe]

Garth, found himself sweating heavily as he fought the villians, he was out of water and starting to dehydrate, and if he didnt get any water soon, he would be in deep trouble.

dodging puches, he noticed a small fountain in the park and made his way for it, gradually feeling weaker and weaker.

He was so desperate for water he didn't notice a criminal swing at him from behind.

Crunch, As he fell to the ground, garth prayed that someone would get him water, or he may never wake up again.

~~Blackness~~

 

[The Jeffinator]

Despite all the mayhem, Robin noticed Aqualad on and scene and then witnessed him fall to the ground. Knowing he had the same weaknesses as his mentor, he momentarily halted his duel with the spider guy to run over and lift the Atlantaen, throwing an arm over his shoulder. He walked swiftly with him to the fountain, then turned and let him lay down in it.

"Are you okay?" Robin asked, and after seeing Aqualad nod, he turned and ran back towards the spider guy, flinging power discs.

 

[NiteCrowe]

Garth groaned, and nodded as Robin asked if he was ok, he sighed as he felt the water run over his body and grinned feeling much better.

He stood, and noticed a criminal sneaking up on Speedy, and using his telekinetic powers over water, created a large ball of water which he threw at the villian, hitting him with an immense amount of force.

The villian collapsed right behind speedy.

Garth was back in the fight.

Beast Boy

Gar Logan thought Halloween was such a great holiday. When else during the year did you get a chance to dress up in weird costumes, act totally goofy throughout your neighborhood, and get free candy for it? It rocked.

And, it gave him a reason to break out the old Doom Patrol uniform. Granted, he was merely a sort of mascot and was always too busy with Space Trek and trying to earn Steve's approval to really go on missions and stuff, but he had a good time visiting Rita at the base and, now and then, having an adventure with Cliff or Larry or even the Chief.

Who knew the old coot had such a warped sense of humor anyways?

But that was a while ago, and now he was just Gar Logan, again, thoughts about Beast Boy dutifully locked away. Except for today.

Today, Gar had on his uniform and was alternating between being himself and shifting into assorted animal forms to make it easier to get around the city and to impress cute girls he ran into. Green skin and hair, a broad smile, and cute dimples only go so far, after all.

But then he heard a disturbance on the next block over, somewhere inside the park, and the learned instincts of being a hero overtook his more animalistic ones. He cheetah-ran over to check things out and then chimney swifted across the battle and parrot-perched on one of the statues that made up a fountain close to the center of things.

Wow, is that Robin? Or just a really good Halloween outfit?

He watched the kid dressed like the Batman's sidekick lug another kid over to the fountain's pool and lay him down in the water. They spoke and then the Robin kid ran off to begin laying into a bunch of thugs and criminals that were stealing Halloween bags and terrorizing all the moms, dads, and kids in the park.

Stealing Halloween bags!?!?!

Gar owl-flew over to the Robin kid, missing out on watching Garth get up and use his water manipulation powers, and dropped as himself next to what had to be the real Boy Wonder.

"Hey there, need a hand?"

 

[Shukaku]

A large object entered the atmosphere at an alarming speed, lighting up the sky for a brief moment. It zoomed across the sky above New York City, before falling out of sight on the beach. Sand billowed in the air for a moment from the impact and smoke soon followed as an opening appeared in the front of the strange object which seemed to be no larger than a small towncar.

The inhabitant of the aircraft slowly emerged, taking a quick look around before stepping out onto the sand. She scanned the area, trying to become more familiar with her current surroundings. Her green eyes blinked repeatedly as she took in the strangeness of this world so unlike her own.

 

[dragonrazor]

Speedy had been intent on watching what was going on and tracking targets from his bike. So much so that he hadn't noticed someone sneaking up on him until a massive orb of water whizzed past his shoulder. He followed it with his eyes, and shook his head, seeing the guy flattened by it. Then he turned his attention back to the battle, took aim at the source of the mechanical legs, which seemed to be a backpack on the back of some really short guy. He fired, sending an arrow full of sticky goo flying into the backpack.

---

Kid Flash had just reached the park when he saw a light streaking across the sky. He thought for a moment, then reversed direction, and headed towards the beach where the object landed. At the same time, he pulled out his cell phone, and dialed Robin's number, given to him by Batman. He waited for it to ring, rather impatiently, while he ran. "Comeoncomeonpickupyoulazygoodfornothinghairball.Whydoyouhavetobehavingfunatatimelikethis?"

 

[Crush360]

Sunburst

Ahhhh..

Mikey hated autumn, not because of the lovely wind, or the smell of fireplaces and leaves burning in trashcans down in the poorer district. He loved that part of autumn. He hated the fact that Summer was gone, and after Autumn was gone, he would have to deal with the Winter. The early sunsets and the cold wheather and the snow that New York was famous for, that didn't appeal to him. Not at all.

Halloween however, was a different story altogether. People meeting each other in an ancient ritual of kindness and generosity, great memories, and kids everywhere. Mikey loved kids, it was one of the reasons he fought so diligently as a vigilante. He liked to be considered a super-hero, but he wasn't quite well known enough to be considered one of those...quite yet. He was sure he would make a name for himself in this city, eventually.

He was wearing his 3 piece costume, the goggle sunglasses, the orange board-shorts, and the lucky red sash, billowing in the wind. It was somewhat chilly, so he had worn a black undershirt as well. Orange and black, very Halloween-ish. His gattling gun was strapped firmly to his waist-band, always on call, yes siree. If only he could convince the NYPD to give him a radio that so he could hear things as they happened, oh, he would be set. His hands were stuffed in his pockets, he was too old to trick or treat, so he just decided he would observe today. He had hoped someone would eventually walk up to him and say: "Oh wow! Are you Sunburst? The super-hero?" Yeah. Fat chance.

He grinned, however, because that just made him more determined. He looked up, to the sun, which was blazing overhead. He was pretty-fully charged, it still felt good on his skin though, that mother-sun...

"HEY! COME BACK!!"

He looked up as he heard someone, a kid probably, shouting...then crying. He started running, the kid was close by. He turned a corner and saw the kid dressed in a skeleton costume, around 9 years old at most, standing near the entrance to Central Park bawling his eyes out. Mikey ran over. "Hey kid, are you alright?"

"S-s-some g-guy in a J-Jason costume." The little kid sniveled. "He t-took my c-candy." Mikey grit his teeth. "Where'd he run to?" The kid pointed down a path, deeper into the park. "I'll get your candy back." Said Mikey, his jaw set. He booked down the path, deep into the park. The kid looked on in awe.

It didn't take long. The guy hadn't even bothered to change his direction, let alone hide. Mikey came up on him, just as the path was ending, expanding into a wide open area. With an angry grunt, he tackled the thief, who tripped, and they both sprawled out onto the sidewalk. Mikey swiftly grabbed the bag of candy with his left hand, pinning the guy onto the ground with his right hand. "Whyd'ja do it?" He kneed the thief in the back, a loud 'Oof' the man's response. He was about to rip the jerk a new one, when he looked up and noticed that there was chaos all around him. "What the..." The man in the Jason mask knocked Mikey off, grabbing the bag of candy and starting to run off again.

"Dammit!" Mikey jumped to his feet, chasing the man, fire in his eyes. I promised that kid...

 

[ultimate_nerdslut]

Raven

Raven floated above the scene, she had yet to be noticed but she took it upon herself to watch. There was far too many people down there anyway. The other heroes could take care of themselves afterall. The young woman had to meditate anyway...

She was listening to all the commotion and sighed. Boys were such strange creatues... 'Let's all get into a fight! Teamwork!' Yay...

Her thoughts on how strange it was that all of the heroes and villians had gathered in central park for a Battle Royale of sorts on Halloween of all days were shattered when a huge something or other burst through the sky and crashlanded somewhere that didn't cause a huge explosion.

Raven looked back at the fight and sighed.

Her thoughts wandered to her personal plight of having to deal with the constant pressure of an ensuing attack on Earth due to Trigon's destruction and rage. She would never let herself be used like that, she was sure to keep her emotion's in check, though the thought of her father was a far from pleasant one.

How was it that she always seemed to fall in such deep thought?

She was soon at the crash site. Raven landed and removed her dark hood to reveal her purple hair and light complexion. She stared at the young woman standing there.

 

[milfhunter23]

kyd apeared on a nearby building a box of popcorn in his hand as he watched possibly to recruit a partner. he neded the help on his own he got thrashed to often when he was caught. he tossed back a few kernls there was a ongoing bet to see what was under his mask. he was not sure either it had been so long since he looked in a mirror with it off. he opened a portal stealing a chair he st down and watched. it was exciting to be a voyuer on something like this but he would leave or do something eventauly before be fell asleep.

 

[NiteCrowe]

Garth was vaguely aware of a Green Man Running about and sighed. The wannabe hereos these days.

He dodged a punched and kicked another criminal in the face, this was getting nowhere, and the heroes need just a second to recover.

He ran to the fountain and began to channel all his powers into forming a large body of water.

'TIDAL WAVE' He yelled, hoping that the heroes would recover quickly and get back an advantage.

He sighed and the wave slung itself over him, and the rest of the park.

At least, he hoped it would give them another advantage.

 

[Remec]

Beast Boy

Gar flashed his usual smile at Robin; but before the more experienced hero could answer him, someone called out, "TIDAL WAVE!" Beast Boy turned to see the guy from the fountain doing something that made the water in the pool gather and expand and rise up to slap down and ripple across the entirety of the battlefield.

"Dude", Gar said with a nod.

He bunny-hopped into the air and hovered as a hummingbird until the water was in the right place beneath him and then dropped lightly as a barracuda onto the crest of the wave.

With a loud, energetic laugh, Gar rode the wave throughout the park. He expanded into a shark and manuvered himself as he travelled so as to crash his body mass against a number of the criminals. The unexpectedness of his presence made even the ones who braced against the water lose their balance and be washed and tumbled by the wave.

As the wave ended, Gar grew to be a small bear of some sort and waved a paw to the guy at the fountain in a sort of ursine high-five or thumbs-up motion. He then started backtracking to the downed muggers and began sheperding them into the middle of the park.

Unless they decided to fight, in which case he showed them what a bearhug was all about.

 

[The Jeffinator]

Robin smiled as Speedy's arrow took out the spider dude, then stared as an object shot through the sky towards the harbor. However, his attention was taken by the tidal wave coming their way. Jumping on top of the spider dude's head, Robin leapt into the air and grabbed a tree branch, then laughed as he saw Beast Boy riding the wave. Swinging from the tree into the air over a dry part of the park, Robin called his bike and it came so fast he was able to land right into it.

"I'll be back in a minute!" he yelled to the others, then hit the NOS and sped off towards the harbor. He jumped off his bike and was shocked to see a spaceship, and a rather attractive female with orange skin and green eyes looking at him.

 

[Shukaku]

Starfire was immediately alert, her stance suddenly stiff as yet another strange looking creature appeared. She took her time observing all of them.

One was female, or so she guessed, and had dark violet hair. The other one had appeared so quickly that she hadn't really had a chance to observe him. He seemed to be faster than the female. She turned her head slightly to glance at the newest arrival. He was male, she confirmed. That much was true. He had midnight ebony hair cut in a short boyish fashion and an unusual outfit.

She sighed inwardly. They looked like they weren't hostile, but she couldn't tell. She observed all of them again, trying to decide which one would be best suited to use for her task.

 

[Crush360]

Mikey grinned, the guy was totally out of shape, he could barely run anymore. He lunged forward and slammed his shoulder into the dude's back. He stumbled over, and in a fluid motion grabbed the bag of candy back. The man was sprawled onto the ground, a shadow passed over him.

Mikey blinked and looked behind him. A huge wave, right over his head. There was no way he could get out of the way in time. He pulled a shoelace out of his shoe and tied the candy bag shut, then chucked it into the air, it caught high in the tree. He grinned, then got slammed by the wave, sprawling back onto the sidewalk. The wave receded quickly, as it had come. He coughed, that wasn't salt-water...it was....city water? He put his elbow on the sidewalk and pushed himself up, into a sitting position. Mikey shook his head, feeling throughly soaked, he noticed...a green bear?

He rubbed his eyes, then looked again. Yes...a green bear, and some guy with eyes that looked a bit...large. He staggered to his feet, and shot his gattling gun into the tree, shaking the candy bag loose. He caught it, it was still dry...he could keep his promise..

 

[The Jeffinator]

"Are you okay?" Robin asked, stepping forward. "Are you hurt in anyway... Can you understand me?" he added, seeing her look of confusion at his words.

 

[milfhunter23]

openeing a portal under a car he then released it over one of the heros at random. he leapt into a portal ariving on top of the car he wanted to fight to maybe atract a partner. he laughed as several more cars sank into portals and began to fall from the sky. "hmm looks like it is raining cars" he says with a laugh.

 

[Shukaku]

Starfire tilted her head in confusion as Robin approached her. She didn't have the slightest clue what he was talking about. The Tameranian waited until Robin was within arm reach before grabbing the back of his head suddenly and pulling his face closer to hers to initiate a kiss.

 

[The Jeffinator]

"Wha-?" Robin was pulled forward and he felt the girl's soft, warm lips press against his. He just stared as she did this and released him. "Uhh.. I.. uh... What was that for?" he stuttered, his face flushing.

 

[Shukaku]

Starfire stepped away from Robin, pleased with her accomplishment. "Ah, this is much better. I wouldn't want to be stuck not knowing what these strange creatures are saying," she said outloud to herself. She glanced back at the blushing, stuttering boy. "Oh, do excuse me, strange person from this unusual planet. I couldn't understand what you were saying so I had to engage in a small lip lock."

 

[dragonrazor]

Kid Flash had been trying to get ahold of Robin for quite a while. He stood still off of the beach, an unusual accomplishment for him. Then he saw WHY Robin wasn't answering. He had looked up just in time to see Robin get kissed by some strange redhead. That brought a grin to the face of the young man, compounded by Robin's seeming ineptitude towards women. He zoomed over, pulling to a stop behind Robin.

"Didn'tBatsteachyouhowtodealwithwomenyet?" The words came out so fast, most people wouldn't have been able to catch them. In fact, he pretty much felt the eyes of the rather beautiful ravenhaired girl staring into his back.

----

Speedy shook his head, seeing Robin head off to investigate. Then he turned his attention to the criminals, and started to move his bike forward. As he did so, he felt a rush of wind, and heard a loud thump and crashing sound behind him. He turned around, and blinked, realizing a car had falling from out of nowhere right where he'd been a few moments before. He looked around, then realized that in the confusion, the criminals had gotten away. Well, the costumed ones anyways. Two of the others who had helped had managed to catch some petty thieves, so Speedy figured that was some good news, at least. Then he reached down, and touched a control on his bike, which activated a radio he could use to contact Robin. Green Arrow and Batman had worked together to build the two bikes, especially the communications gear and motion sensing systems. Sometimes, it was as if they were brothers.

"Hey, Robin, the costumed freaks got away, but that little green guy managed to catch some thieves, so I guess the day's not a total loss."

 

[NiteCrowe]

Garth almsot found himself smiling as he saw the other heroes adapt well to the wave, and even came close to laughing when he saw a green shark riding it.

A few of the criminals had attempted to run past him, and now as he walked towards the other heroes, he dragged behind him 3 unconscious criminals.

Just as he reached the others, a car came out of nowhere and fell almost on top of speedy.

he raised an eyebrow, 'Good evening Speedy, it has been a long time, since our two mentors saw each other.'

He looked at the grren bear, which was running around, 'and you must be the infamous beast boy.'

 

[The Jeffinator]

Starfire stepped away from Robin, pleased with her accomplishment. "Ah, this is much better. I wouldn't want to be stuck not knowing what these strange creatures are saying," she said outloud to herself. She glanced back at the blushing, stuttering boy. "Oh, do excuse me, strange person from this unusual planet. I couldn't understand what you were saying so I had to engage in a small lip lock."

"Oh--okay..." Robin looked at her with a sort of funny gaze. "Um, why did you need to kiss me to understand what I'm saying?" he said, his face still pink and his PDA vibrating annoyingly in his belt.
