Down the Rabbit Hole

[Grace Logan]

It had been an intense battle. A lot of hand to hand combat, including some shape shifting into a big white Bengal tiger, a snake, and even a wolf. She wasn’t tired per-se, but she would need a little breather. The perps, two guys in all black, head to toe, wielding lazers the size of Grace’s whole body, Once Grace believed the fight was over, she turned to her audience, a pretty smile on her face, a wink, then the peace sign, then a pout. The blond made sure her hood was pulled up completely, only letting some of the blond curl show at the bottom. Her green, combat eyes glistened, as well as her ruby red lips. Turning back to ask her second in command, Bluestorm, the 411, she felt a sharp jab, into her gut, and before she knew it, she was tackled into what she thought would be the pavement, only, she didn’t stop falling.

Finally, she landed right on her yoga toned butt. Her hood was now down, Her green eyes ready to battle, She had landed into the table in the common room. She muttered some curses. as she stood. “Hello?” she called. Looking around, her arms poised for a fight. Where she was looked like those old pictures of the tower… was she in a picture. “Who ever is here, show yourself. Now” She spun in a circle, finally looking around good. This was the tower from years back… way long ago…. Where was she?

[Violet Schultz]

"You're hardly one to be making demands," a flat voice replied from the doorway. "But trespassing in Titans Tower takes guts. Congratulations."

Violet stood just out of the hallway, her arms folded and her eyes cold. Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, resting on her pale and lightly scarred shoulders. Her black beater was snug and form-fitting, but dark enough that it hid the contours of her considerable muscle-tone in her abs. Her arms were bare and pale, crossed by scars in a few places, but displaying sinewy but hard muscles. The black cargo pants she wore her baggy and slightly worn, extending from her shapely hips to over her black combat boots. In all, she didn't look like the kind of person with whom one would mess around. Even without her powers on display, the confidence in her stance and hard blue eyes told the stranger that she could handle herself.

She used the link to alert the other Titans to the presence of a stranger in their midst, knowing that Will was closer to Robin than she was at the moment. Besides, she wasn't about to leave her alone in the Tower. She held her ground, not attempting to approach or leave. She wanted to know what the girl wanted, and more importantly, how she had gotten in the Tower without raising any alarms. If there was a chink in the defenses, more dangerous beings could get in. Not that this girl wasn't dangerous. That hadn't been determined yet.

[Tim Drake]

Tim was walking down the hallway with Will heading for the main room for breakfast, the three Titans currently living in the tower having just finished a run around the island together, a very rare occurrence since Olivia had been living at the Safe-house, but then Will was due to go and spend some time with her and Ruby anyways, but then Tim noticed that his communicator was buzzing and blinking in alarm, moments before a single loud buzz filled the Tower, and secondary doors started to shut and or lock, the main hallway now isolated as the only avenue, and it led to own two places now: the front door, and the affected room, which according to his com-unit, was the main room.

Another big clue was Will suddenly vanishing in a blur of blue hued light and a burst of heat...

Showoff...


Dashing off after his teammate, he grabbed a bird-a-rang and a shock disk, as he rounded the corner and followed the taller boy to the still open door, where Violet stood, in what seemed to be a stand off with another girl, blond haired, glowing greens eyes, skimpy hooded black costume, and pointed ears, and a look of pure shock on her face.

"Who are you and what do you want!?!" Robin growled as he crouched down just in front of Darkbrand, Blaze now on the other side, in a slightly more relaxed but still ready stance, the three of them contrasting nicely, from passive aggressive, to battle ready.

Robin put his bird-a-rang away but kept his shock disk in his hand, hidden as he sized the girl up and tried to get a better read on her, but due to her glowing eyes and the distractingly striking figure and costume, he wasn't really sure what to think at the moment, although there was SOMETHING that almost seemed familiar about her...

[William Talbot]

Will wasn't too sure why he had felt like today would be a big day, but he did, and he had almost said something about it when Violet had told him of the intruder VIA the link, he turned to tell Tim, but then he heard the ever present Titans Communicator buzz a warning as well, so he shrugged and then dashed down the hallway to the comment room where Violet was having a staring contest with...

Holy crap...

A VERY attractive blond haired, green eyed girl who looked like she might be some kind of movie star or something.
But Violet seemed to think she might be a threat, and the way Tim acted he was sure she was some kind of danger, so Will put his hands up and shifted his stance some before he let his powers flair out and get a read on her emotions which told him that she was lost, confused and not a threat, at least she didn't seem to be evil, her thoughts and immediate memories told him that she had been fighting some villains, rather than her bing a villain herself.

"Easy Robin, Darkbrand... She's lost, not a threat..." Tilting his head again, Will stepped forward and lowered his hands as he sized her up. She was taller than Violet by at least two inches, and unlike Vi, who had a slightly longish torso, this girl was leggy, with long slender legs that looked perfectly fit, the barest ripples of muscle showing under her pale skin, and the same was true with her arms and her bared abs, the faintest of muscle tone, perfectly trained for speed and flexibility and likely endurance as well.
And, she had this scent about her, as if she was from a whole other world, and yet was from the middle of Jump all at the same time, the smell familiar, but different.

"Who are you?" Blaze asked softly as he closed to the halfway point between the girl and the door, his hands at his side, and his head tilted in that way that a dog does when confused or interested in something new...

[Grace Logan]

Jetta looked around the three. It was a motley crew. All of them had a different expressions. She could sense the confusion, so, even though she knew she was confused as well, she’d take charge here. She watched the taller dark haired boy come forward. The blond took on a more powerful stance. "I'm Jetta, Leader of Teen Titans New School" She said, a big, proud smile on her face. "Now, you answer me questions- one, Where in blue hell am I? two, who in the world are you guys? and Three, Where in gods name am I?"

Jetta looked around her. She wanted to go home, to where she knew what was going on, and where she was in charge of what was happening. The teen crossed her arms. "Do you guys have Water?" she asked, shifting her weight. "I'll take some with ice and lemon, easy on the ice, a little more lemon..."

[Violet Schultz]

Violet's head tilted slightly, almost involuntarily, at the tone and the presumption displayed by this girl. Her jaw clenched as irritation flared in the pit of her stomach. Who the hell did she think she was kidding? There was no such thing as a Teen Titans school, and even if there was and she was the leader of it, Violet would not respond to that superior attitude of hers. She wouldn't even respond to Robin if he took that attitude with her, not that he ever would. This was a girl who was apparently accustomed to being served, and her impudence was supremely irritating.

However, in respect to Robin's authority, she didn't reply at all. This wasn't something for her to deal with anyway. When she had been a leader, she had had many such situations to face, but those days were behind her now. Of course, being honest with herself, she didn't trust herself to respond. Her temper didn't deal well with condescension. Needless to say, she didn't like this Jetta at all. She knew that Will would probably think she was being ridiculous, but this girl was definitely rubbing her the wrong way.

She settled back on her heel, subtley showing that she had no intention of getting the girl so much as a lemon seed. Her face was as expressionless as ever, but her eyes were cold.

[Tim Drake]

Robin stood back up and started palm tossing his shock disk up and down for a bit before he stuck it back into his belt and crossed his arms over his chest and glared at her with his soulless masked eyes; "You asked where you where twice, and to that end, you're in Segal Bay, Jump City California, Titans Tower to be exact, and as to who we are, we're THE Teen Titans, and if you don't know, I'm Robin the real leader here..."

Tim looked her up and down, and had to admit, she was showing an awful lot of skin for a super hero, or at least an under aged heroine, which she certainly looked to be under eighteen.

"Now then, just how exactly did you get in here? Oh and no water until we get some real answers..." Robin asked as he shifted his weight to the other foot, and waited for Blaze's powres to kick in more...

[William Talbot]

Blaze tilted his head back the other way, his eyes softly glowing, as he looked at her, and let his senses take over...

"She's telling the truth... I don't sense any deception in her, she's really confused and just a little bit scared..." Will looked to Robin and then Darkbrand, then back to the girl, his hands raising up just a little bit as he spoke to her; "Just take it easy okay? We're just as surprised as you are... Tell us what happened okay?"

Will was trying to figure her out, she seemed to be telling the truth, but then she also didn't seem like any other person he had met before, save one, and she did kinda look like him, but... No, he needed facts, and not guesstamates and random ideas.

Although she in and of herself was rather interesting, not to mention, very attractive. He wondered what her powers where, with a name like Jetta, and a costume like that, and elven like features, he could only wonder...

[Grace Logan]

Grace uncrossed her arms. "Ok, My team and I were fighting in sector 12, against who've we've nicknamed null and void... they make time warp voids. We had gotten them secured when I was getting a briefing from Bluestorm, my second in command, when I'm guessing Dash didn't get a good hold on Null, i.e. blunt force- letting him free, and knocking me into a void, created by Void, -i.e. the brains of the operation. That's What I'm thinking at least... And If I know my team, they have Null and Void secured, and most likely destroyed the lasers, rendering me, stuck here....." Gracie paced a tiny bit as she spoke. She stopped, and faced Robin. She figured it would be best for him to answer her questions.

She looked around the troop again, and crossed her arms again. Her mind raced, hoping that she would be able to get home, to her time."Wait-YOU'RE Robin? That would make You Darkbrand, and Blaze... you guys were titans back in the early 2010's... Before I was even born..." She bit her lip. "You guys trained me... taught me everything I know and more..."

[Violet Schultz]

'Were?' Violet listened in skepticism, relaxing minutely as she sensed what Will was thinking. Ever since that time with the poison, their link had been stronger than ever. Sometimes, she heard his thoughts when she wasn't even trying. This seemed to be one of those times, and his serenity was a little reassuring. He could see into her intentions, essentially, and if he wasn't worried, there was less chance that she had some evil intentions. He was very rarely wrong about such things when he was paying attention. She blinked in surprise as she heard the girl's next words.

She knew their names, and she was even claiming to have been trained by them. That wasn't exactly possible, considering that the only people that she had trained were rotting (figuratively) in St. Louis. Plus, Violet kept track of that kind of thing, and she was certain that she'd never met the girl before. Were they talking time travel? Because that would make everything she said make a lot more sense. She wasn't exactly versed in the physics of time travel, and she didn't know whether or not it was theoretically possible. Considering who she spent her time around, she had a rather open mind.

[Tim Drake]

Tim held his ground there, his arms still crossed over his chest, his masked face stone like as he listened, then glanced first at Blaze, the back over his shoulder to Darkbrand, then back to the girl before he let his arms down, and walked forward, a small pen like device slipping into his left hand as his right hand came up and pointed at her, the index finger aimed for her face as he spoke; "Okay, Blaze thinks you're not a threat, and I trust him, but I'm not sure I want to bite at the time travel bit just yet, so let us suspend reality for a moment and say that I believe you, that you've trained under all of us, and know us. Knowing who I am isn't that big a deal, and if you've been around Jump the last fourteen weeks or so, then you would know Darkbrand at least by sight if not by name, and unless you where living under a rock for the last month, then you know Blaze, which means you've only proven that you know about the last three and a half months." his hand lowered as he stared at her; "Big deal, but let's roll with your story a bit more, so these two villains, who use lasers and other devices to make portals, attack, you fight them, and then when it all over, one of your friends goofs and you get knocked into a portal that just happenedto land you here? Tell me, where the hell is sector 12 in your story? Because we labeled that as a light suburban area to undeveloped open lots and country in the far south eastern city limits, no goon with two braincells would dare face even just ONE Teen Titan out in the middle of nowhere like that! They LOVE an audience and the property damage, and they don't like a simple fight with a super hero."


Robin glared at her with his white soul-less eyes, and a stern bent to his mouth as he looked at her before he stepped closer and looked down at her shorter frame, into her eyes, his brow knit, and the lenses compressing as he squinted at her; "And if you where trained by us, or at least by me..."

He then as fast as a cobra strike, jabbed the mini stun gun at her and hit the button...

[William Talbot]

Blaze stood there and listened as Robin spoke, and he even nodded in a agreement with the boy wonder a few times when he felt her eyes on him, his own gaze shifting back and forth almost constantly until Robin paused to glare at her, and Blaze took the chance to ask his own question; "Hmm, sorry to push in, but uhh, Jetta? What exactly ARE your powers?" he asked as he tilted his head back one more time and looked at her, sizing her up again; she wasn't much more than a taller, slightly more rounded, and blond haired version of Violet it seemed, with less scars and paler eyes, and slightly wavy hair, her skin was a shade darker too, but then Violet had such a pale porcelain skin tone, that wasn't really saying all that much, when compared to his naturally ruddy tanned skin...


He looked to her and waited for a reply, then snapped his head to Robin as he barely heard the carefully guarded thought, and felt the instinctive plan in his leaders mind, but by the time Will thought to open his mouth, Tim had already closed the gap, spoken to her, and then struck out...

For a slightly mutated mortal, he was incredibly fast...

[Grace Logan]

She was able to Robin's strike easily. That was like level one stuff... Was he kidding her? To add insult to a lame attack, there was no counter from him, so, she decided to disable the situation, as all good leaders should. Grace then kicked the tazer pen out of his hand, She caught it, then aimed it in his face. "You were saying, Tim?" She asked Robin. She twiddled the tazer pen in between her fingers,

"Oh, Uh, I'm a shape shifter" Gracie turned to Blaze. "Like my father" She crossed her arms, and played with the pen. "Where on earth did you get one of these, These are out of date, legitly out of date"

[Violet Schultz]

Violet raised her eyebrow at Tim's attack, confused as to his intentions. Any half-wit with any martial arts training could have avoided the attack, even one so swift as that. The attack was simply too straight-forward to do any good. She blinked in surprise as the girl caught the dart. It was impressive, to be sure. Few beyond the three Titans in the Tower could have done something like that. Blaze, from his natural gifts, could have easily caught it. Violet and Tim, however, could rely on their years of training, in martial arts studios and in the real world. The fact that the girl could do something like that without any natural gifts to give her advantage lent a little bit of validity to her claims.

She smiled minutely at her next move, a smile which could only be detected in her eyes by someone who knew her well. This girl had guts, and as bad of an idea as making an implied threat to Robin was, Violet couldn't help but respect the gall that it took to do so, especially when facing down all three Titans. She didn't even blink toward Tim, knowing that if he felt any danger toward himself, he could easily take care of it. They weren't his bodyguards; they were his partners. She would respect him enough to trust that he could protect himself.

Will sometimes exasperated her with his trusting nature, but she still trusted his judgment when he said that she was not a threat. He was protective enough of both herself and Tim that he wouldn't hold back if he sensed any danger to either of them.

"And who is your father?" she inquired, turning her penetrating gaze back to Jetta.

[Tim Drake]

Tim looked to her as he backed off a step or two and then smirked at her before speaking; "While not the most impressive counter, it's a good solid move, and unless I miss my guess, I'm going to say that Beast Boy was or rather is going to be your dad, am I right?"

He lifted up what looked like the standard Titans Communicator, with a peal white and black shell rather than the canary yellow everyone else in the room had, his smirk showing that the attack had really been a ploy to get the device from her.

"Looks like something Vic would build, only much more advanced than what we're carrying, which would, or does confirm your claim, but then the only way to be sure is to test that. Blaze, call me..."


IF this worked, then either the three of them would pounce on her, or stay put, either way, Tim wanted a restitution to this situation, and now please. If she was REALLY the future leader of the Teen Titans, then she would have the Com-unit ID of Titan 1.
And right now, Robin had that ID number, so therefore, both should respond, and Robin was betting that it just might....
