Initiation... [Open to all]

[Tim Drake]

Robin looked about then found his teammates once the carnage was over, but he froze for a moment when he hear Slade's voice, and then saw him high above his friends, so he moved as fast and as quietly as he could to get the drop on him, but very soon he was aware that it was once more, just another trick of Slade's, a hologram in fact, but it didn't matter now, the mall was clear, and the Q.R.T. was now here...


Moving back to his teammates location, he saw Blaze collapse and he rushed to the other Titan's side, because there was no doubt after today that Blaze had earned the name, and the title of Teen Titan, not that he could tell him that now.
"Help me move him, we'll get the EMS to help us get him moved back to the tower, they can fly us there and help us move him to the Med-lab..."

Robin reached under one of Blaze's arms and hefted him up with Darkbrand's help, "You guys did good today..." he said softly as the half dragged the passed out boy away from the middle of the destruction...


He would tell them both in detail later, but he was very impressed, and proud of how they had handled the situation and fought the commandos, but for the moment, they needed to lick their wounds and recover, the city would still need them and with Slade suddenly showing he was still a major threat, then the Titans would need to all the help they could get...

[Violet Schultz]

Violet straightened up and shook off her mental exhaustion, knowing that Robin would need her help to look after Blaze. She wasn't surprised that he had lost consciousness, given the low amount of energy she could feel in his inner flame. Only the fact that it was steady kept her from worrying too much about him. With his healing factor, he would be on his feet in a few days. The threat was neutralized for now, so he could focus on healing.

She knelt and lifted Blaze from the other side, draping his limp arm around her neck. Her back and muscles ached, but it was a satisfying ache, like the ache that came from a rigorous work-out. In a day or so, she would be fully recovered from the battle. The only nasty wound she had was the one on her arm, but it had already stopped bleeding, so she wasn't concerned.

"Thanks," she replied with her usual quiet dignity.

She examined the damage caused by the encounter. The mall was still structurally sound, but they would definitely need to redo a lot of the flooring and paint. In all, she would say that the damage was minimal. She knew from experience that if their power was unbridled, the building could be shattered into splinters, so for the building to survive with this little damage was quite an accomplishment.

She kept her eyes off of Blaze, but with her unwavering gaze in the direction that they were going, it wasn't obvious that she was doing so. He'd gotten seriously injured trying to protect her again, and it was starting to worry her. Sooner or later, it could end badly if he didn't look after himself rather than her during battle.

Robin nodded as he looked behind them and surveyed the damages, which, considering the amount of fighting, where rather low, but he wasn't about to start complaining about it, the rookies had proven their worth.

Turning back he was surprised and impressed to see Darkbrand hoisting the conked out Blaze over her shoulder, since the fiery hybrid was easily the largest and heaviest of the trio and she was the smallest and lightest. It was almost sweet in a way, how she lifted him and slowly carried him towards the door, but niceties aside, Robin felt that the solidarity was now there, and as such, he found himself putting Will's other arm over his shoulder and lifting most of his surprising weight himself as he looked over at Violet and gave a smile; "You guys are quite a pair... You earned the name Titan today, both of you..."

As he helped her carry Blaze out, he moved a hand over and gave her a light pat on the back, and then sighed as they came to the ONE door that was still intact, and of course the power was out so it didn't open automatically...

Oh well...
