Rough Landing. (Open)

[Deleted]

It was time for Dante to head to Jump City. He's been planning this for a while, and after tying up all his loose ends in Bludhaven it was to get out. Dante doubted he'll be back there for a while. He set up the magic circle for the teleportation ritual, he's done it before but never for someplace so far away. The spell itself is relatively simple, all he needed to do was focus on where he wanted to go and after going over many pictures of Jump City he decided to port to the beach, less chance of porting into objects or people there. Dante sat in the circle cross legged and began the ritual, focusing as hard as he can on the Jump City beach while reciting the incantation "Ianuae Magicae" which is Latin for teleport. In a few moments he felt the magic stirring within him and then with a flash of light he was gone.

In a second he was on a beach at Jump City, he was going to say that the trip wasn't so bad but suddenly he felt his stomach do a back flip and he ended up puking on the sand right next to him. Teleporting always upset his stomach but never this bad, then again he never traveled this far before. Dante stood up and walked away from the vomit to make sure he was in the right place, he light up a cigarette with a small fire spell as he looked around. It took him a moment to realize that he wasn't exactly at the beach that he want to be on. "Oh..." the cigarette dropped out his mouth he said after he turned around realized exactly where he was; the island where Titans Tower was. In all the pictures he saw of the beach the tower was there and he did focus on it a lot to make sure he ported to the right beach.

"Heh, guess it worked out better than I thought." He said to himself as he light up another cigarette. Dante figured that the Titans probably have some kind of defense system that alerted them that he's there, he'll just sit there and hope they're not too aggressive towards people who teleport to their island and puke on it. "This should be interesting" He muttered to himself as he smoked looking at the entrance of tower waiting for whatever's coming at him.

Jade had been pushed out of her comfort zone. She was sitting here on the small little island that the Titans tower was on. She was desperately trying to figure out why people liked to sit and watch the waves. So far the only thing Jade had managed to do was look small as she huddled to herself, her hands glowing softly more for her own safety then any actual usefulness. Around here there was nothing but water, water Jade couldn’t turn into anything.

She’d seen a few others do this from time to time and she wasn’t quite convinced why. It seemed awful to just sit here and do nothing. Then there was all this water….She didn’t know how to swim, or if she even could. Did Jadeite swim? She hadn’t been brave enough to try yet. To be honest she’d done her best to stay away from the water, spending the vast amount of her time inside the tower or in town, but she desired to at least try to be a little normal. Had she not come here to learn about humans. Well she’d come for her father of course, but humans too now that they weren’t the vile disgusting creatures that had been painted for her.

Suddenly out of apparently nowhere, there was someone there. Jade sat blinking blankly at the figure making sure she hadn’t imagined it. Perhaps it was another titan, after all didn’t Raven pop in and out? She hadn’t really met her yet so she didn’t really know Raven’s powers but she’d certainly heard of Raven; Just tidbits here and there about all the titans really. Ones she had and hadn’t met. The figure didn’t seem to move directly towards the tower, certainly not with the confidence and familiarity one gains when one calls the tower ‘home’. In fact, the figure just seemed to sit there.

Jade appeared to have not been noticed and spent a moment examining the figure from a far. She still couldn’t make out who it was. Cautiously she got up and began to walk over towards the figure, hedging her bets and keeping a safe enough distance. The eerie jade green glow around her hands that had been faint grew stronger, better safe than sorry.

“This is Titans tower, you are not a titan? No?” She asked, the actual question confusing enough so one couldn’t figure out if she was asking or stating the figure wasn’t a titan. Once again she hadn’t met everyone, a fact she was quite aware of. Certainly didn’t look like anyone she had seen around, especially now that she could see him from her semi-close distance. The figure looked like a male, obviously not from around here judging by, what was it, fur around his waist? Maybe she was wrong, she couldn’t see him properly, even from this distance. His clothes looked strange to her anyways. “Can I help you, Yes?”

Just as he thought he was approached by a Titan pretty quickly, though he didn't know who she was he decided the best thing to do is to play it safe. "Yeah I noticed that." Dante answered, though the girl's wording was a bit off it was clear that she knew he wasn't a Titans and doesn't exactly belong there. He continued to smoke as the girl approached him, he noticed the green glow around and here and guessed it might be something to do with her powers. Dante remained calm; as long he doesn't do anything to aggravate her she wouldn't have to use them.

"No, I'm not a Titan. I actually wanted to land on the other side of the beach, but this is good enough I guess." Dante didn't have much of a plan for what to do next, his original plan didn't include landing on Titans island. "I know I'm not supposed to be here, so could you help me get to the shore on the other side." Dante gestured towards the beach with his thumb. As fun as getting a tour of Titans Tower; but he needed to get to the city and find a place to stay.

Jade stared at Dante blankly. She was absolutely fascinated by his clothes for some reason or another. Perhaps because they weren’t the super bright neon suits she was used to seeing around the tower, nor were they the civilian clothes she was used to seeing around the city. They were just… different. ‘Focus’ Jade told herself while staring blankly at the figure ahead, and eventually she managed to refocus her thoughts but there was a long stretch of silence as she focused and processed what he had said.

“Perhaps yes,” Jade finally said giving a non-committal answer and a non-committal shrug before crossing her arms to drive home the point. She stayed like that for a minute while staring at him blankly for to observe the figure. At this point, Jade hadn’t decided about the figure or what to do. She was torn between calling for other titans, giving in to this stranger’s request, or simply pounding him into the ground because he looked suspicious. Restraint was an act and practice that thoroughly tested her patience as was the indecision that led to the restraint.

With her hands still glowing with their faint green light at a steady rate she suddenly moved until her finger was pointed at him accusingly. “You dropped from the air! Yes?” She said, using her yes to turn it into a question that demanded an answer. She moved her finger above his shoulder then back to the figure to make her point even though the movement was slight.

During the long drawn out silence Dante continued to smoke and look around. The whole situation must be really confusing for the girl and no doubt she's trying to find out what the best course of action was, so Dante waited as she made her choice. Although it was a confusing one, her answer might have been a yes but judging from her body language she wasn't about to help him just yet. It seemed like she was still unsure what to make of him. 'Damn Capes' he thought. Dante wasn't the biggest fan of superheroes, even though he understands that they do good work saving peoples lives but he didn't buy the whole good guy act. He believed that sometime you have to do some bad things for the greater good.

When the girl pointed her glowing hand at him Dante thought that she was going attack him, instead she asked how he got there. Dante paused for second, not sure if he should tell her the truth or not, but he answered her anyways. "No, it was a teleportation spell. Pretty good one too, came all the way from Bludhaven." Dante hoped that the girl was familiar with magic so that he would have to explain how it worked. Taking a few steps towards the water Dante thought of ways he could cross the water to other side. Freezing the water would take too much energy, another teleportation spell would take too long to set up, so his best choice was to get help from the Titans. He sighed, he didn't want to attract too much attention to himself as he goes about his business, especially not from any capes who might get in his way.
