DISLCAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TEEN TITANS OR BEN 10. THEY BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS.
CHAPTER 1
Life as a hero has its rewards...and its troubles. When we were kids, we tread for action and adventure. I mean hell, when I was 10, all I did was dream of adventure...an escape from the real world. Looks like I got my wish all those years ago. No one told me that being a hero would be difficult or trivial. All that I was advertised on TV were these falsifying images of superheroes. Meta-humans who would do pose or the camera, letting the light shine on their sparkly white teeth flexing their muscles for the children to scream their name while politicians give them the key to the city.
When I was kid, I learned quick. Quicker than anyone would have imagined growing up. I had an alien watch that allowed me to transform into any alien hero I wanted. It was a cool gadget I had, but it had a price - my life. It wasn't everyday you see a 10 year old kid walking around with a numberless watch. Using it to foil my enemies plans for something trivial. It became more like a chore than anything...but it was a great chore, an amazing chore that I so embraced. I loved every moment of it.
Now that I'm older, I face far more villains that I had faced in the past. Villains more passionate. More ferocious. More vicious. All these challenges I had to face was unprecedented. It was nothing I ever had to face before.
But this? This here was beyond my control. One minute I was fighting with my team against this robot, and then the next, I'm nowhere. I slowly got up, barely on my knees seeing the dust swallow me up. The aircraft I piloted was in the middle of the sea, sinking to the depths of the oceans's heart. The pain I felt the moment I woke up screamed. The sleeping giant in the middle of my chest, the hot metal beam had pierced through my chest. Just thinking about it engrossed me in pain. I wheezed and spat out the fluids of blood that once circulated in my system. I thought that I was going to die that night...until I was saved by some stranger. I didn't know who it was, all I knew was that after discovering my injuries, my eyes grew heavy, slowly closing together, glued shut. Alas, that was the last thing I remembered before I was dragged away from the wreckage somehow.
I woke up one morning in a nice, comfy bed. The room itself was filled with exercise equipment, and weapons. It was not all that big though which was funny in some way. The weapons however were all bird like. Like I can't explain it through and through. It was all bird-like.
Damn, even after what happened my neck was aching like a mug. Speaking of pain, I looked down and I noticed that the beam I had on my stomach was gone! I lifted up my shirt and saw that there were stitches cutting across my abdomen. That's strange. Was I in some sort of hospital...or was in a hospital?
"Where am I?" I asked. I tuned in on my Omnitrix to get a better view on my location. And to be honest, I have not have the slightest clue on where I was. Not even the watch knows.
"Location: Unknown," it said.
"Great," I said, "Call Grandpa Max, Gwen, and Kevin."
"Negative...callers all unresponsive. Do you wish to contact Primus?" it asked. What? Gwen, Kevin, and Grandpa are not around this vicinity...or anywhere? That's very strange. I wonder how I got here or the most important question...where exactly I was. This room was unlike no other room I ever saw. Either it could be Kevin's room or someone else entirely. I wasn't sure. Right next to me was a hot cup of herbal tea sitting right by the bed. It was warm and such, and I did feel a bit thirsty.
I got out of bed, took my jacket from the end of the mattress and walked out, exploring my environment to see I could get a reading on my location. So far nothing, just more halls.
"Hello?" my voice echoed in the empty halls, "Hello?" my voice echoed in the dark, empty hallways. I operated my Omnitrix, letting it glow a emerald-green hue leading me through the darkness. It was eerie and quiet. No sound crept through my ears but the echo of what was once there. I passed through several rooms at the next hall, however this room happened to be the residence of a person named "Starfire". The door was all the way open, so I got a clear view on what the room actually look like. If I would have turned on the lights, I would have swear that my eyes would have drowned in a pink ocean. The room was decorated to that of a teenage girl...a typical teenaged girl. I closed the door and continued my way forward. After that there were no rooms left except go to the next hall.
The building was vast and endless. It was like walking around a maze. A maze I say. I was lost in this concrete jungle. Then I stumbled across the double doors. They opened revealing me a more vast and an enlightened room. The room was filled with so much more. The kitchen was by my right, the stereo, for what I could say was to the left, it wasn't much but whatever. In front of me was large window giving me a clear view of the city yonder. My eyes on my Omnitrix to see where I actually was geographically.
"Location: Unknown. Do you wish to contact Primus," it said.
I sighed. Just my luck, I was on my own. I walked down the steps, seeming that there was nowhere else to go. I can go Big Chill and fly right through to contact the proper authorities to see where I was or maybe get a map from a nearby store to see where I was. I bet this room has some sort of GPS or something. I don't know. Then when I got closer to the room, I saw a cloaked figure just staring out in the window. It was funny that I didn't see this character sooner. The figure sat down on the couch carrying some sort of book. I don't know what it was, it could be Charmcaster for what I know. My hand was on the faceplate of my Omnitrix. I already knew what form that would be appropriate for this kind of situation here. I advanced forward, carefully tightening my grasp on the watch. Then...
"How are you feeling?" I heard a voice. The figure got up from the couch, revealed himself...or herself. This was not Charmcaster, in fact I don't know who this person was. This person was entirely new. I couldn't let my guard that easy, no matter who it was. This girl, like I said was different was an inch shorter than me. She wore a blue cloak, had short, blue hair and eyes, and wore a black leotard, which barely hid her curvaceous body, "You were out for days so I made sure that you were safe."
"Who are you?" I asked, "How long was I out?" she walked passed me towards the kitchen.
"I'm Raven and you've been out for days," she said, "Sorry if you had to scour around the tower, I haven't anticipated that you would wake up sooner. She grabbed an apple from the refrigerator.
"I see," I said, "Are you hungry, because to be honest I'm not that much of a cook as Cyborg was."
"No, I'm good," I said, "But I need to get going."
"If you're looking for your ship, it's all busted up," she said, "I'm afraid you're stuck here."
"Just my luck," I said.
"However, I can work up a spell that can send you home. It may take days, but it would work. I tried it on Kilowaug and it worked on him. So, I think it would work on you. I don't know how, but it should."
"You're a sorceress?" I asked.
Raven nodded, "Of course I am, and I can tell that you're not from around here. Are you?" she asked.
"No," I said, "Where I come from, aliens are plentiful."
"Funny, just like this place," she said, "Are you sure you're not hungry? You were out for days and all I have is some fruit. I can take you to get some pizza or something."
Hearing my stomach growl a little bit sort of gave her a hint. I was out for days and I do need the energy. I sighed, "Sure, I do feel for some pizza."
"Alright, oh and sorry I forgot to ask you your name," she said.
"That's okay," I said, "I'm Ben Tennyson."
