DCSG Titans Application pt.0 Old Friends
2PLJ
An attempted carjacking, some dealers trying to sell drugs to kids, a normal night in Bludhaven, but still a boring one, normally I don’t feel like this. Barbra went to visit Jim back in Gotham, no matter where I go, or try to get this stuff off my mind, I keep feeling lonely, as if there’s been something, something I’ve forgotten, with the times changing, the league forming, everything’s going so fast now. After swinging around Bludhaven for a while, I decide to take a rest on a rooftop. Wow when did anything ever not go fast, it’s been my whole life, quickly swinging on the trapeze, chasing after criminal scum, running real hard from problems, some of which, I’ve always known really weren’t there, hell I’ve even tried to right some wrongs, before it slipped out of my hands. Did I ever even have a normal summer, like a regular kid, well I guess that’s what happens when you’re a vigilante? I grapple away, trying to get rid of the bad feelings I’m harboring in me, as the wind picks up so does my spirit, as I remember, Wally, Donna, Roy, Garth, all my good buddies, from the old days, we had a club, wasn’t it called the Teen Titans. I remember now, sure we fought crime like our mentors, but still we had fun, we talked, hung out, in our little club, who came up with the name anyways, Donna? Wow it’s all really clear now, she came up with the name, or was it Roy who came up with it, no he added the Teen part, she just thought of Titans. If I remember correctly there was a little bit of an age difference between everyone, but nonetheless we were all friends. Man how could I have forgotten about that, I got to get the old club together. I set my course for home and in no time I’m back in my apartment. I pick up my phone and make a couple calls. Within no time I’ve arranged a meeting in the local diner by where we used to hang out.
I took a drive to the place we decide to meet up, a dockside diner, I arrived first, still worried that no one was going to show up. I haven’t heard back from Roy but hopefully if he does show up it isn’t awkward with Donna and Roy, I swear they had a thing for each other at one point, though I can’t clearly remember.
“Sir, are you still waiting on people, or do you want to order now?” the waitress asks, with five menus ready.
“No, I think I’ll wait a bit more for them, oh and we might not need the fifth menu” I sit back and relax know that there’s finally going to be that missing piece in my life, restored. I see someone wave to me from the door, and I realize who it was, it’s Donna, wow I haven’t seen her in years, didn’t realize how intimidating this would be. In about a minute she makes her way over to the table.
“Hey Dick, how many years has it been?”
“I’m not entirely sure myself, but it’s good to see you again” wow, she’s changed a bit, gotten taller, as you’d expect, I remember how me and her used to be best friends.
“So Dick, what have you been doing in recent times?” she asks politely, just like I remember.
“Ah nothing much, you ever meet Barbra Gordon before?”
“Yeah once, wait are you two?”
“I guess you could say so” at that moment Wally walks through the doors, and points to our table, the waiter walks him over anyways.
“Hey, guys, how’s it going, how’s everything been?” Wally asks energetically, seemingly pretty excited that he’s back with old buddies, was it just me that forgot this whole time, or did everyone else forget too? Wally convinces us to order our food now and let everyone else order later, he’s never been good with patience before.
“So, is Roy going to be here?” Wally asks, excited to see everyone again. Suddenly I get a text message from Roy, and I read it in my head before saying it out loud.
“He said he couldn’t make it, Green Arrow was having a big crisis or something and needed his help” though I have a feeling that he also was worried about being around Donna, I’ve had that feeling before. I remember it from back when I lived in Gotham, there was a girl in my school, I think her name was Betty, wow all these old memories are coming back now.
“So, how’s life been for you guys?” Donna asks cheerfully.
“Well I’ve been pretty good, how about you guys?” someone says from the side of our booth, it’s Garth.
“Hey, Fish boy how’s the sea been for you?” I ask, feeling relaxed now that all the “Teen Titans” are in one place again, he chuckles, Fish Boy was the name we used to call him, jokingly of course.
“So, the old group, all back together again, except for Roy” everyone looks at each other, a real feeling of happiness swarms over everyone, yet a bit of sadness is mixed in, with the disappointment of Roy not showing up.
“Yeah, it’s been so long, and everything has really begun to change recently.”
“Tell me about it, with the league, and other things, I swear my life moves on a faster pace now, well faster than it already was” Wally says, trying to add humor into the mix.
“The League’s creation has attracted more criminals, ambitious ones too, now can we order the food?” Garth interjects, as his stomach growls.
“Is that so different from before, I mean it’s always been that way?” Donna adds in, seemingly distracted about something, wonder If mentioning Roy is getting her nervous, even though he isn’t around.
We put our conversation on hold and let the others order some food, then we get right back to the main topic.
“Guys, I figured that if we all came back together, we could fill a void, that I’m sensing we all have in our lives, with all the crime fighting, we’ve all been missing one valuable thing” I say, proudly finally stating my motivation for getting everyone together.
“And what’s that” everyone asks, though they already know, just aren’t brave enough to say it.
“We need to get back together; we can make our little teenage club something more something to help people” I say, kind of hopeful that I’ll be the leader.
“So you want to become the Teen Titans again?” Donna asks, intrigued by this idea.
“You know, that doesn’t sound bad, but one thing we need to do, is get rid of the Teen Part” Garth adds in.
“Yeah that sounds pretty good, but are we going to have a headquarters?” Donna asks, still trying to keep her mind of Roy.
“Yeah, I’ll see what kind of a headquarters we can get, after all I have access to sunken treasure” Garth says, feeling as if being a “fish boy” is paying off”
“Well, we probably have to get recognized as an official group by the Justice League, hopefully we get it right on our first try and don’t end up doing it three times” I interjected, hopefully not bringing the mood down.
“Well, whatever happens now, we’re the Titans now” Wally states, proudly and happily.
“And we’ll always be the Titans, forever” Garth adds, as we all look at each other once more it’s like we became one entity.
“Titans Forever” we say, but sadness creeps over me, as I remember something, I won’t be able to stay with the Titans, I have a duty to Bludhaven, and I have to protect it.
“Guys, I think it’s best if I don’t join up with you guys, I have to protect Bludhaven at all costs, I can’t just ditch it, but can I trust you guys to bring our little dream to fruition” I feel depressed knowing that I can’t stay with the Titans that much longer, but I might try and stay in contact. Their faces sadden as they realize how there’s only three left.
“I guess we will try and become something else, even if it’s without you and Roy, we can make it.”
“Alright good to hear, Titans.”
(Figured that if i couldn't use Roy or Dick in the actual series I shouldn't just give up there, I used Dick in the app anyways, though he won't be appearing again since I don't have the rights to him, anyways thanks for reading)
