Max would have arrived back at the tower sooner had he not stopped to intervene in a few crimes. First was a mugging and then the second was an assault on a guy by a gang of drug dealers. Up until he had been invited to join the Teen Titans Max had not done any hero work above taking on normal criminals, but he wasn't afraid to start testing out newer waters and combating super villains. How he was traveling to the tower was on his skateboard and the busy streets of the city made it a little more difficult to maneuver in and out of the area. He had been with the Titans for about a week now and every now and then he liked to get out to do some skateboarding. Today he had gotten up much earlier than usual and left the tower on his board.

Some of the civilians recognized him and gave waves while others had strange looks on their faces. He assumed that it was because of his reputation for being possibly crazy with how he did stunts and beat up criminals. Max ignored them and kept on his way to the Teen Titans' headquarters. Upon going through an intersection on the crosswalk, some idiot in car ran the light driving at high speeds and slammed right into him. There were screams of horror at the sight and Max felt intense pain from the impact as he was sent flying off of his skateboard and over the roof the vehicle.

The car came a screeching halt as he landed hard onto the pavement proceeding to roll on the ground several times. He was bleeding in several places and his parts of his costume was torn, but none of bones were even slightly bruised. He was however in a lot of pain and cursed at the retard in the car. Max seriously wanted to take out his bat and smash the man's windshield and dent the vehicle to pay him back, but he chose against such an action and knew that the police would be fining that idiot for such reckless driving. He was glad that only he had been hit because anyone would have been possibly killed.

"Hay dumb ass! It's a called a red light for a reason, you could have killed someone you piece of shit!" he shouted at the driver and then went over to retrieve his skateboard. It still hurt to walk, but he was use to feeling pain thanks to his stunts and powers. Thankfully his skateboard had gone beneath the middle of the vehicle and the wheels didn't crush it. After picking up the skateboard Max felt his healing factor start to ease his pain and repair his wounds. He got back on the board and continued on his way to the tower.

By the time he got to HQ his wounds were almost completely healed, but his costume still had blood stains on it. He entered the T-shaped building and eventually saw his teammates doing what looked like to be drinking and partying.

"Okay.....Did I miss something?" he asked kind of confused as to what had caused them to celebrate.
