Reader x Teen Titans Chapter 5

Previously…

-Then it was Robin’s turn to join in, he had a look of complete confusion, surprise and also a little hatred. “What are you doing here Red X? And how do you know each other?”
OH CRAP! I forgot, this guy is a thief, and they think I know him. Not. Good. –

Your P.O.V

“Look, don’t misunderstand Mr Judgey, if anything, Red X is an acquaintance. He found me on a rooftop and started talking to me, it lasted no more than 5 minutes, and then he left. That’s it.” I explained, choosing my words carefully of course.

“Aww, you’re so cold, I think our meeting was fate,” was his smug reply. You couldn’t see it, but you could swear he was smirking underneath that mask.
Never-the-less, you were now getting angry, thus meaning your eyes were beginning to glow. And the fact it was getting dark out didn’t help as it only made them look brighter.

All this while, what you didn’t know, was that Robin was watching, and suddenly realized that a wanted man was in front of him. But what you did notice was the look of realization.

“Titans, G…,” Robin started, but you were quick in interrupt.

“Stop. I don’t think that’s a very good idea. As much as I know you want to catch this guy, you shouldn’t make a scene here. Think about it, just behind us in the park is a relatively large crowd. In the long shot, your little scene of cops and robbers might cause injuries to innocent people. Not that I really care about them, but I can’t say the same for you, who may get a guilty conscience.” You finished bluntly. It was true; you honestly didn’t care about the common mass of flesh. They were all the same when it came to average. They all judged by the outside. They ridicule and isolate anyone they can. They were full of hatred. I guess it’s mainly because they’re afraid of the unknown.

“I guess you’re right, although this doesn’t mean that you’re off the hook Red X.” Robin replied sternly and glared at the criminal.

“See, I knew you liked me, thanks for sticking up for me toots, but I can take care of myself,” Red X chimed in, ever so confidently may I add.

That was it. Your patience was already running thin and your anger had now been pushed off the edge. You couldn’t be bothered with keeping yourself a secret anymore, quickly scanning over the consequences of revealing your powers, the only thing you could think about was that your life would become more interesting. All of a sudden you pushed your arm out to the side pointed towards Red X, and you flicked you wrist and hand upwards. A small quake was apparent in the ground and then a rounded wall was brought up from the ground, cutting Red X out of the group.

Everyone was shocked to say the least, apart from Raven, everyone’s mouths were in the shape of an ‘o’.

“Well why don’t you look at that…” came a voice from on top of the newly built wall. You looked up the see Red X, he must have jumped, “Looks to me as if there’s more than meets the eye here,” he continued.

You just looked away irritated and faced back to the Teen Titans.

“DUDE! WHAT WAS THAT?” Beastboy was the first to break the silence of the group.

“Are you happy now? That’s the reason why I was avoiding you guys. The reason why Raven was able to sense me. It’s my curse in this world they call ‘reality’. Now that you know, I’ll be taking my leave.” You stated. Before anyone could object to you leaving, you kicked your speed into overdrive and ran away as far as you could. You didn’t want to deal with the new judgements. You just wanted to get out of the awkward situation you were put in to begin with.

Robin’s P.O.V

“I told you there was something strange about her. The fact that her eyes glow at certain times definitely bring up red flags in my mind.” Raven spoke, still with a stoic face that proved that indeed she wasn’t surprised.

Thinking about it, I kind of feel bad. I guess she just wanted to be left alone. I know for a fact that everyone in my team has had troubles in their pasts about their powers. Mainly it was just that they weren’t accepted. Now that I know that it’s the same with ______, I feel as if I should apologise. But, first things first.

“Hey, Red X,” I looked up, but he had disappeared as well, figures. Now I’m feeling frustrated.

“Hey Robin, we still have the tracker, what’s the plan?” Questioned Cyborg, unsure as to what he should do in this kind of situation.

“Robin, I feel like we have done something bad, and I wish to see if ______ is of the alright-ness,” this time it was Starfire, obviously she was feeling slightly guilty too.

“You're right Starfire, we’ll leave her for now, but we’ll try and find her soon, I think we should all apologise to her, and perhaps try and see how strong she is…” I now fell deep into thought, if she isn’t a bad person, she might make a great addition to the team. Though we’ll have to test her strength first, and whether she is trustworthy.

3rd Person P.O.V

The team made their way home back to the tower. Meanwhile, you had just hit the outskirts of the City, at the harbour. You watched the waves crash against the walls just a little below your feet. Everything was quiet apart from the sound of the sea. For some reason, you found it extremely calming. You didn’t know what to do from here, where were you supposed to go, you didn’t really feel like going home, there was nothing to do there apart from sleep. Then it hit you. Tony said there was a gig at Arcadia tonight, Maybe that can keep you busy for a few hours. That won’t start until roughly 10pm, and its’ 8pm now.

‘Perhaps if I walk at a normal pace I’ll get there for 9pm, and I guess I can take the opportunity to catch up with Timmy Tantrum. I can also try and convince him to give me a job to do just for tonight, get a bit of extra cash’ you thought to yourself.
Then, just like that, you were off walking toward your favourite night club. You couldn’t wait to see the look on Timmy Tantrums face when he saw you. It’s been a couple months since you last went to Arcadia.

------------------------------------------------------Time Skip----------------------------------------------------------------

9pm.

Your P.O.V

Well isn’t this nostalgic. Walking through the back entrance, you went through the VIP entrance and hid behind the stage. Security let you in because luckily, he remembered you from the last time when you were with Timmy, his boss. Waiting for said boss to appear you planned your entrance. The stage was opposite the bar, with a large dance floor separating the two. It was more of an underground club than anything.

“Hey, I’m not paying you to stand around and daydream, you should be preparing as many drinks as possible to keep up with the crowd for tonight’s gig.” There he was. Timmy Tantrum. The serious guy who owned the place. You reminisced slightly about how you met. You were visiting Tony who said he was performing. He then introduced you to Timmy, and after the introductions, you had performed alongside Tony. After that performance, you were given a stern lecture about messing around with expensive equipment and how you should have been more careful, earning Timmy the nickname you had created for him.

As he was talking to the barman, you silently crept up behind him, and rather loudly, you interrupted the conversation.

“GOOD EVENING TIMMY!” Was all you said. It was all it took for him to jump out of his skin and turn around covering his heart, as if to say you almost gave him a heart attack.

As he looked at you, you could see the transition of realization and recognition to nostalgia and reminisce. “Is that you ______? You scared the hell out of me!” That was about all he could muster from his form, obviously his heart was still beating a thousand miles a minute.

“The one and only, hey, I was wandering if I could bounce the club tonight?” You asked with puppy eyes. “I could really use the money!” You added. (A/N In case you don’t know the term ‘bounce’ or ‘bouncer’, it’s just security)
While Timmy didn’t know about your powers, he knew you had out-of-this-world strength, and the fighting skills to match. He actually seemed to ponder your question.

“Actually ______, I am low on staff and was looking for some more security…”He answered, you mentally fist pumped but kept your composure on the outside, knowing that he would want you to be professional about it, “very well, you can do it. On one condition, you come and visit more regularly,” and with that, he gave a grin and ruffled your ___h/c___ hair. Ew, what’s with the personality change.

3rd Person P.O.V

During the night you felt powerful, being able to grant access to people, and also have the power to take it away felt great. You loved it when a group of really cocky and confident teenagers came along, obviously underage with fake tickets. It felt exhilarating to bust them in their tracks and send them away, they looked so nervous to, talk about bad acting! At some points of the night, you were even able to brawl with a few guys, not to mentions how you seriously kicked some ass. At the end of the night, you were even paid; it definitely took your mind away from the earlier events that had happened.

That night you went to bed happy, and actually slept without problem, you even managed to sleep until lunchtime. The only thing was, you had no idea what was going to happen today. You had no idea of the upcoming events that were developing inside your own little world. That is until there was a knock on your door.

You were awake, and you were just brushing your teeth as you head the knocking on the door.

Your P.O.V

12:30pm

What the hell? Who could be knocking? No one knows I live here. Hell, this place is abandoned; no one knows that the place even exists. Walking down the hall, I couldn’t think of anyone who may know where I live. I can’t think of any reasonable explanation for this.

Reaching the door, I looked through the peep hole. My eyes widened in shock, why are they here? How on earth did they find me? WHAT DO I DO?
