Well, today had been awkward. Crammed into a desk made for people half his size, and made to learn things a few grade levels ahead of where he had been in his studies as he neared Earth, comparatively at least. He was shoved into his senior year of high school in a diplomatic fashion. To "Further relations between his people and ours", the man had said. So naturally, they had sent him to the "Best" school in the area.
Knees drawn to his chest to fit into the desk, he let out an audible sigh of relief when the bell ran signalling the end of the school day. Students seemed to avoid him as they left the classroom, turning to stare, or just keeping their heads down and avoiding him altogether. It was probably his eyes more than the fact that he was an alien. Everything about Hans screamed "Intense", from his eyes, to his build, even his voice screamed intensity. Lost in thought, he bumped into another student, the poor kid went flying. He walked over and held out a hand, and the kid almost accepted the help up, but then saw his eyes, flipped out and ran off.
"Oh come on, I'm not THAT scary. I'm sure there's bigger than me in town."
His deep voice rumbled, as he let out another sigh. The sea of students seemed to part as he walked through them. Of course, that was normal. He pulled a small MP3 player from his pocket, and flipped the switch to the on position, thumbing the earbuds into place. Today had been...interesting.
Maggie had reached her locker when she heard those words, glancing from the corner of her eyes as a very tall guy walked past. He was very tall, much taller than everyone else in the hall, but Maggie Blythe knew someone taller. I wonder how much taller Kaie is now? I haven't seen her in a while, Maggie thought, missing the giantess. She was the first person Maggie had met in Jump City, which is why Maggie made a mental note to call or find her and have a girls day.
Maggie was exchanging her books, still watching the new boy as he walked down the hall. He was, to put it simply, intense-looking. No wonder everyone is fleeing out of his way, Maggie thought, surprising herself in not being all that intimidated by him. Perhaps it was because she had started working for the Rats Nest. After all, she was spending time with Gaunt and the Reinfields, and if they didn't frighten you a bit nothing would. Especially Gaunt, because he was downright terrifying!
Once she got everything she needed, Maggie hurried after the new student. Well, she attempted it, for the sea of students that had appeared for him had disappeared on her. She had to push her way through the crowd, brown curls swinging. Once she reached him, Maggie tapped his arm to get his attention, the 5'2" girl smiling up at him. "Hello, welcome to Jump City. I'm Maggie Blythe. How's your first day going?" Maggie asked, being polite. "Oh, and I overheard you earlier and you're right, there is someone bigger than you in town. She actually goes to school here as well."

Hans looked down at the young lady who had tapped him, and tried to give a friendly smile. He tapped his chest with a fist in the standard Ereen salute, and nodded his head in her direction.
"Hans Krieger. Thank you for your welcome."
He thought for a moment about how his day had been, and wondered on the human word for it. Bored? Boring? Yeah, boring. He was starting to get stir crazy again. A stir crazy Ereen was not something the city needed, so he decided to ask right out if there was anywhere to have fun around here.
"Odd question, I know, but I've been wanting to go to one of the human 'Arcades' that I saw on your television broadcasts that I monitored while I was in orbit. Do you know where one is?"
He smiled again, this time actually managing to look friendly. The thought of a place full of computerized games made him giddy. On Eran, all he had done was combat training, after all. He had neevr played a video game before, but seeing commercials for them had made him want them. They looked like perfect devices to entertain oneself when not fighting crime, or protecting the planet from...well, let's not go back into the dark place he was in while they had his butt in jail for landing on the library.

There were a lot of whispers and rumors flying around school. Kaie wasn't quite sure what was going on, but there seemed to be talk of a giant that wasn't her. She'd have to ask around, maybe one of her legion of super-friends knew what was up. For now, she was stuck in boring dumb class, bluh.
Kaie was the last out of class, as usual. It would have been kind of rude to make everyone wait while she squeezed and crawled through the door. That, and some guy usually smacked her butt if she went first. That was kind of a nuisance too. Finally, she crawled out into the hallway, looking around to see if her friends were nearby. As luck would have it, Maggie was right there, and so was the answer to her curiosity. The boy wasn't that big, maybe eight feet at most. Kaie was pretty bad at judging heights, though. With how fast she grew, it was hard to compare. Last she checked she was 12'6" now, but that may have changed.
"Maggie!" Kaie grabbed the girl from behind, lifting her into a giant hug. The ceilings in the hallway were high enough that she could kneel comfortably here. "Is been a while, how ye been, girl?" After a moment she set her tiny friend down. "And who's yer new friend? I don' think I seen him before."
The tall boy gave a somewhat friendly smile and tapped his chest with a fist, introducing himself as Hans Krieger. "Its mighty fine to meet you, Hans. What brings you to Jump City?" Maggie questioned, eyeing his purple hair. It was purple, wasn't it? Lavender maybe being the better word. "Human arcades?" Maggie repeated softly, confirming in the fact that Hans was not from Earth. "We have a few, but I can give you the address of it. I've never personally gone, but I know others who have and they say its the best." Maggie said, quickly pulling out a notebook and a pencil and writing down the address.
"So, you are not from Earth, are you? What planet are you from? What language is spoken there?" Maggie asked, looking up at him. She wanted to learn some more about alien languages, especially since she can understand them like she can understand other languages here on earth due to her ability.
"Sweet mother of pearl! " Maggie yelped as someone grabbed her from behind, lifting her into a giant hug. Maggie looked behind her, to see who had grabbed her, and gave a laugh of relief when she saw it was only Kaie. "Kaie, you scared the dickens out of me!" Maggie laughed as Kaie set her down. "I've been good. Been gettin used to all the craziness of Jump City and its people. And this is Hans Krieger. Hans, this is my friend Kaie." Maggie said, introducing the two.

Hans smiled and gratefully accepted the slip of paper from Maggie.
"I am from the planet Eran. I know very little of it, however, as I was sent from it as a child. The Ereen Berserkers, as I am, are bred to protect planets from outside invaders, or internal power struggles. Or in this case, random villains in tights."
He let out a laugh, looking at the address on the slip of paper before folding it carefully in his large hands, and putting it in his pocket. Then...well, a giant showed up. A cute giant, at that, though Hans didn't quite understand the thought. He felt a strange stirring in his being, looking at this giant female. She was quite a bit taller than him, and the way she lifted Maggie made him laugh slightly, but in a friendly manner.
"I-it is nice to meet you, Kaie."
His heartbeat sped up. With his quickened pulse came a slight...was that a blush? Well, Hans was almost imperceptibly redder now that Kaie was here, and he didn't know why.
This was bound to be awkward.
((OOC: My turn to apologize, I had a lot of IRL drama going on.)

Kaie let out a laugh at Maggie's outburst. Her not-swears were always funny. Maggie could have a bit of a temper, but tried to be a proper lady, usually resulting in something like that. Kaie didn't swear much for a different reason. She would if she could get away with it, but when you were the only giant at school word tended to get back to Ma. She'd had to stop herself short a few times. "Sorry bout that, couldn' resist."
The less giant boy seemed a little flustered. Kaie wasn't sure if he was shy, or just a little intimidated. He probably wasn't used to seeing someone bigger than him. "Nice ta meet you too!" Kaie held out a hand to shake. He was kind of cute, now that she got a closer look at him. Had that dashing prettyboy look that cropped up a lot in anime. She wondered if his hair was naturally purple, or if he used some kind of alien hair dye. "Yer an alien? Thas awesome! I'm jus a regular ol' earth giant." Kaie paused, rethinking what she'd said. "Well, not regular. I don' know if there's others like me. Just a metahuman, really." She was babbling a bit. That tended to happen when she met new people, especially new supers. Even after months of being a Titan, she still was kinda starstruck sometimes.

The roleplay takes place after the series end of the original Teen Titans animated show, but does not include the movie Trouble in Tokyo. Since then Robin has been on something of a recruiting spree, and many new young heroes have found themselves a home in Jump City as well as Titan Tower.
