Mantra One: Kidnapped?

[sarcasm_andbooks]

[Action For Housemates: Raven wakes up and discovers she's not in her own room anymore. Jumping up, she tries to calm herself down before...before.....

Her powers.....

Aren't there.....in fact she even looks different. Short black hair, less grey skin. Her chakra's gone as well as her normal clothes. She looks around the room and the slowly makes her way around the house. As she hunts around a table she knocks a phone over. You can hear a dry voice...]

Well either Mad Mod got tired of the British look or this is something new.....

[At that she notices the phone and picks it up.]

Hello? Robin, Beastboy, Starfire, Cyborg?....is anyone there? 

[A. There is a girl in a blue jacket, with the hood pulled up, looking around the town. It's quite clear she's new here. She has that, oh dear lord where am I, walk going on. Though her's is more tense, as though she's waiting for something to attack her.

B. In the park. Well a girl is trying to do something? She's chanting and pointing at a park bench...]

Azarath Metrion Zinthos! ....why isn't this working...

[C. The library. Okay, libraries she can deal with....Well she thought she could....Growing more and more frustrated as she flips through yet another romance book.]

Isn't there anything here that isn't a love story?

[Well, the mysteries here aren't the greatest, but he nods and goes to look.

Guys books. More of them are detective novels than anything else. He might even have to ask a drone or two, because what is reading?

He'll come back with a small stack and let them plop down on the table.]

There, if a drone asks, tell them I forgot my glasses and you are reading them so you can tell me how it ends.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[Real books.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

No problem.

I guess super heroes can do little stuff too. Since that's all that works around here.

[Yeah, he didn't come up with that theory himself. Someone just recently told him he should try stuff like this to help.

Since punching, drinking and throwing cars wasn't solving Mayfield's problems.]

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

You're a superhero?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm The Captain. Why? Don't I look like one?

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

Appearances aren't what make someone a hero.

[She doesn't look much like a hero herself.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know, punching bad guys makes you a hero.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

That's one way to put it.

Are there many hero's here?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's probably quite a few. Not as many as back home.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

Where are you from?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Brooklyn, New York.

Uhh... Earth, if that matters. Got a lot of strange ones around here.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

These superhero's from your world... Batman...Superman?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

No, I think they come from a different dimension.

That ☠☠☠☠ gets confusing, fast.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

That's the dimension I'm from then.

3rd time's a charm

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Oh, well ☠☠☠☠, why don't you go get Superman to get you stuff around town?

I bet he can make books appear by clapping his hands together or something stupid.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

He's from my dimension, that doesn't mean I know him.

I've never met him before.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Well, he's wandering around town so you might get your chance.

I'm sure everything will be just peachy now that we have Superman

[Someone might be a tad jealous.]

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

Right. Because one hero in a town that manages to steal powers is going to make everything right.

[Raven meanwhile is just cynical.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Of course, cause he can just do a little dance and everything will be okay again or something. I don't know, he has too many stupid powers.

What's it like living with that ☠☠☠☠ flying around being better than everyone?

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

....I wouldn't know? My team pretty much sticks to ourselves and other teen hero's.

Besides. Superman's not better then everyone.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

You were in a team?

And I know he's not better, but those comics make him seem like he's too powerful for anyone to ever beat, ever.

He's not so special, though, and half those powers don't even make sense.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm a member of the Teen Titans.

Maybe they made them up for the comic books?

Almost typed "Seems legit" in this post.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Teen Titans? Who came up with that name?

I'm a member of Nextwave. We used to be Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. but we quit H.A.T.E.

And I don't know, maybe, seemed like Superman only had an issue with the pushing planets around thing.

[sarcasmandbooks.livejournal.com]

We did.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Wow, I thought kids were more creative.
