[IC] Teen Titans: Reborn [REBOOT]

[MisuChan]

"You don't remember anything else besides my name and voice?" she asked him, stepping forward a bit. She started to think now. "What if that is way the darkness wants me to be gone so bad... I'm the only thing he seems to remember, maybe I'm the only thing that can get rid of that dark side for good.."

She sat back down on the tire she was on before and sighed, crossing her legs pretzel style. "Tell me everything you know about yourself." She said in a rather demanding tone. She was colder than when they had known each other before, but he probably wouldn't realize that.

With the tables turned, the girls fled the scene, at least the ones who could run. The rest was either injured or dead. The officers quickly began to handcuff the survivors, confiscating the weapons. Some of them were even debating detaining Jacque and Francis, but ultimately decided against it. They saw what they did, and not only did they help them, it's not like any of them had any means of holding or hurting them. The worker from Ever Yang was still surprised at the scene. He lingered near by, his shotgun ready for more trouble, but soon he figured that the trouble was over. He'd seriously have to go ask his boss what they're going to do about it, but than he got a text. It was from Katherine, and she wanted him to get Jacque. The worker gulped. He didn't want anything to do with the super, but order's were orders. Putting his shotgun on safety he walked over to the metal boy. "Uh... You there. I saw what you did, and my boss wants to see you. You're... The one who had the package, right? From your uncle? Yeah, uh, we need to talk to you about it. Would you follow me please?"

Meanwhile Dominick was driving to Asian Town. He just got a message from his guys at the city that there was a gunfight. They even called for his sister. But by the time he got there, the battle seemed to be over. Ambulances were taking in the injured and the dead, while more guards and cops showed up to investigate. Dominick tried to get in but they told him to stay out, telling him that it was a crime scene now and that no civilians should be around. "To hell with that! Where's my sister!? I swear to god if she's hurt I'm going to-" He was quickly silenced and pulled away, threshing and flailing his arms. A solid smack to his head made him turn around to the attacker, who was none other than his sister. "Dominick, calm down. I'm alright."

[MonsieurShade]

Jacque watched as the remaining gangsters fled the scene, and true to his word, made no attempt to harm them. As he removed his foot from one of the injured gang members to allow her to be detained, the villain couldn't help but sigh with annoyance as the officers casted sideways glances at him as though they were debating whether or not to try and detain him. Just before he could leave the scene, one of the people that he'd seen working in the jewelry store earlier approached him with a request that he follow him. "Sure...why not?" Jacque said, seemingly unfazed by the gun clenched in the man's hands as he transformed his skin back into flesh and cracked his neck to alleviate the stiffness a full transformation brought on, "Lead the way.".

[ShadowVentus]

Michael looks a bit distraught whenever Aria asks to tell her everything he knows about himself. "I'm sorry, but, I don't remember anything except for my name and that I can do this..." With that being said, Michael flicks his wrist and opens up a Corridor of Darkness. "Just...who am I?" He asks her.

[MisuChan]

When he opens the corridor, she jumps towards him and pulls him away from it. "never use that!" she yelled and then took a sigh to relax. "I fear that if I tell you now, that something bad will happen. What's the last thing you remember doing today before you ended up here?" She let go of him arm in which she pulled him away by and fixed her hair.

[paigesweetheart]

Armelia looked at Superboy and shrugged. "Whatever. You can be in the team." She sighed
and continued to speak as Golden THunder got into the group chat. "Dont worry about, Jason. He is undercontrol and he didn't mean no harm....I think. But anyways." Armelia ran a hand through her hair as she got into the monitor where a big screen turned on and noticed some cameras on metropolis being activated, so she could see metropolis from the tower. "We just need a plan. We just cant attack like nothing. And can you both stop with the childish act?" She shooked her head telling both Jason and Superbpy as she stared at the screen, trying to search for Serenity or atleast a clue.

Francis had the Jabberwocky come though a portal now looking where the goons were going with the metal man,The young super followed them going though a portal then appearing on the building rooftop looking down at them.I wonder..." He thought to himself of the possibility of being employed by the person that the Asians were working for.Francis opened another portal walking though again now appearing inside of the building but somewhere hidden so he could see what was going to happen and how he could get some work.

Alexia peaked her head out of her room upon hearing the commotion. She stepped out of her room and walked over to where everyone else was.

[Lucius Cypher]

The man lead Jacque back to the same unloading area as before. Except this time, there was no cars, no trucks, nor even a lot of people. Just that young man from before and the two burly guys who took Jacque here the first time. Once they arrived the jewelry shop worker was dismissed. The young man from before walked over to Jacque and handed him a business card. The young man was Donny Lee, Ground Manager of The Hmong Village (That's the shopping area they were currently at) Warehousing. On the card, the decoration of a non-specific wildflower. "We saw how you handled things out at the produce section. Very good, very good. We want to reward you for your help, but also we want to give you a job opening; we lost some good men out there, and seeing that you can handle yourself, we'd like to hire you as one of the guards if you'd like. We'll pay you well." Of course, this was all just a cover; while they certainly do what to hire Jacque, it's not as a mere guard. However they wouldn't talk specifics unless he accepted. They still need to screen him some more, but all things considered, he would have to jump through less hoops than others. It helped that the leader herself messaged them that she wanted him, but this was protocol. "You don't have to give us an answer right now. Just call me if you'd like to join and I can set up a meeting to make sure everyone knows who you are."

Katherine and Dominick was driving back home, stuck in traffic due to the recent influx of security guards. Dominick was in a dour mood because his sister wouldn't tell him anything about the attack, constantly telling him not to worry about it. It pissed him off because he wanted to be able to do something, and show off his new gun, but now he just felt useless. The only compensation to the whole incident was that Katherine was taking everyone to a Korean BBQ place, but he felt that this was oddly apathetic considering all that's happened. Eventually they got home and Kathrine went to her room. Jay was still at work but he'd be home soon. His little sister was on her laptop doing whatever it was she did, while their mother watched TV. Dominick was left wondering what he should do. Going upstarts he took off his clothes and began to shower. "What a day, what a day..."

Michael was a bit spooked whenever she pulled him away from the portal, yelling not to use it. He quickly regained his composure whenever she questioned him again. "There was this man..he was carrying away a girl and was running from a group of people with powers...I wanted to help, so I followed after him, but...I heard a voice. It told me I wouldn't make it in time unless I had used that corridor.." As he speaks of it, Michael flicks his wrist to close it. "I went through it..and when I exited, the man shot at me...that's all I can remember.." He finishes.

[MisuChan]

"Listen to me, never use that corridor, ever again. No matter what the voice tells you. promise me!" she seemed tense now, taking a few breaths to clear her mind. She looked around, hoping no one would hear them and sighed. She grabbed his arm again and levitated, taking him with her. She started to move towards his house (In which they had met before) the one where she remember he lived. She was sure this would cause a lot of questioning as to why she knew where he lives but she didn't care. Once arriving at his building, she landed on the fire escape and opened the side window, entering his app.

"I'll talk to you..." she said, with her back turned to him. "We were friends before, you see." she started.

John looked at the others, and noticed Armelia scanning the T.V.. "You're not gonna find anything on there. Not if it's who I think it is. Speaking of which. Whoever took Serenity works for an assassin organization known as the Shadow Complex. For those of you who don't know, I used to work for the Agency, a rival assassination organization that specialized in using meta humans as killers. The Shadow Complex makes meta humans their targets," John said, scanning the room to make sure everyone was listening. "The only thing anyone really knows about the Shadow Complex is that their powerful. Really powerful. They have seemingly unlimited resources and the Agency linked thousands of meta human disappearances to them. If monsters were real, the Shadow Complex would be the monster under little meta human children's beds. Personally, our best shot at rescuing Serenity is to locate her and the agent and go in as hard as we can, all at once," he said. During his speech he had paced back and forth and was now six inches from where he had started talking.

[MonsieurShade]

Jacque examined the card intently and mulled over the possibilities of accepting this job in his head, "Tempting. It certainly seems like it would be an easy enough job." he said as he tucked the card into his pocket. The man pondered this a bit further before staring Donny in the eye, "I still have to pick up that package for my "Uncle", you will have my answer then." he said before bidding the man farewell and exiting the shop. Things were certainly starting to look up for Jacque now, however there was still the matter of his day job, not to mention clearing what he was doing with Bane, lest he incur the villain's wrath for what might be considered a betrayal. His mission for the day completed, Jacque returned to his car and began the trip back home, looking forward to a relatively peaceful night.

"Yeah...that sounds right." Michael was slightly sidetracked by how familiar this place was to him, as if he'd only been here yesterday. "Is this my home...?" He asks Aria, looking at her for confirmation.

[MisuChan]

"Yeah... When I arrived on earth... I stayed here with you for a few months while I got used to living here. Then something happened, you changed, were overtaken by something." She said to him, siting on his couch, and sighing a bit. The couch seemed so familiar to her, comforting even.

Francis was looking down at them watching them with a eagle like stare pulling out his book now sitting down waiting for them to leave so he could make his move.He hummed softly to himself a tone that was once sung by his mother."My oh my what a spectacular scene" He muttered to himself reading a very good scene in the book of Alice at the tea party with Mad Hatter and The Mouse.

[ShadowVentus]

"Changed...? What do you mean?" Michael echoes, still standing as he tries to think on what Aria is saying. "Did I..do something?" He asks.

[MisuChan]

"The days started getting worse. You were like an average person, but had times where you would be over taken by then darkness inside of you. It happened right after you started using the corridor a lot... And within two months... You were completely gone, memory and everything." She started, she was a bit on edge, all the memories of their relationship hitting her in the face.

[BKburke]

Jack smirked when he heard Serenity ask for his name. "You don't need to know my name. The likely chance of us ever meeting again is slime to none. That is unless you try to escape." Jack took the vial of blood and put it through a scanner. Jack looked at the results. "You aren't sick, well you haven't caught anything. I'm surprised your friends haven't come to get you yet. Then again, you should be great full of that, the place is rigged to blow anyway." Jack sighed and leaned back. He was in deep thought and that was easy to tell. It didn't take long for him to get up. He began reloading all of his guns and restocking his grenades. He used quite a few earlier. He took off the chest piece of his armor. He put it in a container to sterilize it. His chest and back were covered in scars that looked to be very old. After the piece was clean, he put it back on and walked counter he set up. What he was doing there was debatable.

[ShadowVentus]

"I..don't know what to say...except for that I'm sorry..I've caused you nothing but pain...haven't I?" He asks, looking at her with his eerie yellow eyes. "Who else have I hurt..? How many people have I dragged into the darkness with me..?"
