Costume/Equipment:
A blue and red skin tight outfit. It concists of blue spandex pants and long sleeved shirt, with a deep red strip across ther chest that circles down her body. A red head band keeps her hair out of her eyes. A red mask covers her face, the mask is very similar as Robin's.

Motto/Catch Phrase: "You've made a enemy of the earth beneath you and the air in your lungs."

Personality:
Aura is a... moody person. She thinks she has a bipolar disorder. One minute she's happy and skipping through flowers, the next she wants to incinerate your family. She tries to control her moods, but she finds it difficult. Then cries about it. Twenty minutes later she thinks nothing of it for the next week. Most of the time though, she is kind to others and is concidered 'bubbly.' On the outside she's telling you how nice she is to meet you, but inside she judging everything about you. She never stops moving. Her foot is always tapping, she's nodding her head, humming. Something. "Its probably ADHD" is what she says, then shrugs it off.
Aura is also easily distracted. She'll be listening to you talking about how your grandmother died, then she'll interupt you and ask what was for dinner when she ate breakfast twenty minutes ago.
She cannot stand small spaces, and thinks she is claustraphobic. When she is put in a small space, she flips. Flailing, punching, kicking, trying to escape or just make the place bigger.
She is also a lover of music. Her singing voice is beautiful, and she can by shy when singing for others. She plays many instruments, including electric guitar, drums, acustic guitar, flute, electric bass, and piano.
Aurora has a short fuse. Don't light it. Just don't.
She seems to act a lot younger the she actually is, and has a tendency to cry like a little kid when she get hurt or gets yelled at or something along those lines.

Likes:
+Swimming
+Running
+Rock music
+Pop Music
+Sweets
+"What I want, when I want it. Hmph."

Dislikes:
-Electricity
-Sharp things
-Getting hurt
-Loud things

Weaknesses:
-- Electricity. For some reason, Aura is weak to electricity. It makes it feel like her blood it turning into molten lead and her head is going to explode. A small static shock is amplified and hurts much more then it should.
-- Easily Tired. Aura has very little stamina when it comes to using her powers. Though she can run a mile in five minutes, trying to use her powers for that long make it feel like she hasn't slept in a week, and she has the tendency to pass out.
-- Not Very Pain Intolerant. Small wounds hurt Aura more then you think they would. If she were to be cut on her arm, she wouldn't be able to use that arm until it was healed. If she twisted her ankle then she wouldn't be able to walk.

Fears:
-Death. Aura has always been scared about dying. After watching her mother die infront of her took its toll. Nightmares plague her sleeping mind most nights.
-Small Spaces. Flips out when in a small space.
-Hieghts. She can jump from a three story window, but would never go sky diving.

Theme Song: Absolutely (The Story Of A Girl) By Nine Days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RatJeKHQa5k
Lyrics:
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many days in a year
She woke up with hope
But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
Now how many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
So how do you choose

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

[Chorus:]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this shit day after day
Now how did we wind up this way
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose
Now how do we get there today
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
But you never seem to run out of things to say

[Chorus:]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

[Guitar solo]

Well your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

[Chorus:]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Whose pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smiles!

Powers:
^Manipulation of the Four Classical Elements - Aura can control the four classical elements of Air, Earth, Fire and Water, though she has many limitations and drawbacks when using them. I will explain them seperately for each element:

Water is Aura's favorable element. This is also the one that she has the most control over. Though, she cannot control water if there isnt any. She can't control the water in your body, like in your blood. Aura can, however, take water from other objects. If she sees a fire extinguisher, she can make it explode and give her a water source. She can make water freeze into ice, and can make the ice go where she wishes, but this requires the utmost concentration, and has only done this successfully twice.

Air is Aura's second favorite element. She uses air to concentrate in blasts to knock foes off balance and and into other things. It also helps her increase her jump hieght and running speed, but not by too much, because if she over works herself, she will pass out. When in desperate times, she can pull the air out of your lungs. She hates doing his because she doesn't like killing people, so she only holds until the person passes out. This is very hard for her to do, and she has to be completely focused, or she will fail and become vulnerable.

Earth is not her best element. She can pull rocks out of the ground and launch them at someone, but thats the most of it. Occasionally, when in a panic, she can open up a hole in the ground and swallow up her opponents. Though she cannot close the hole, for she thinks she would kill the person by accident.

Fire is the worst of them all. She can only use it when she is angry enough, and when she uses fire her eyes turn red and you can see the heat coming off of her in waves. She can ignite her hands when angry, but when infuriated, she can light her entire body. This only last for a minute, because it taps into her energy and knocks her out ever single time she does. She can launch fire balls from her hands when in her 'rage mode'. When only slightly angry, her body warms up and her hands turn a light shade of red, and if she touches anything alive she gives it third degree burns.

General Skills:
^Fast Runner- She was a champion at track at her old school.
^Extremly Flexable- She took up gymnastics at a young age, and has practiced ever since. Because of it, her upper strength has been increased, making her stronger then she looks.
^Martial Arts- Knows many forms of hand to hand combat
^Aura can speak many European languages.

*Arch Nemesis:
"All them baddies!"

Family:
All of Aura's family is dead, reasons of which are in her history.

History:
Aura was a normal kid
 well for the first few years of her life. Her powers gradually came upon her, in different years of her life. Events triggered her powers, causing them to go into effect. It was only a year ago that she learned of the fourth element.

When Aura was five, she had gotten a new puppy for her birthday. They had taken him for a walk on the beach, when his collar came loose. He jumped into the ocean where the current was too strong for him, and he was swept out into the sea. Aura was screaming her head off, when a sudden geyser exploded, and the puppy landed in her father’s arms. Events such as this one had confirmed Aura’s parent’s suspicions of Aura not being a normal child. So they thought it would stop with water, but they were wrong.

Aura was always teased as a child. Grade school, middle school, high school. Doesn’t matter. She was bullied brutally for being different. The kids would chase her home, throwing water balloons as a joke, telling her just to throw them back. She couldn’t control her powers very well, so she was defenseless. One day, when she thought she would have a break from the bullies, she saw them round a corner. For some reason, she didn’t take the same route home. They chased her down multiple streets, until she came to an alley with a fence blocking the end. She was at a dead end. They cornered her, and she closed her eyes. Without even trying, she was launched into the air by a sudden small whirlwind around her, and landed on the other side of the fence with a grunt. She was amazed, and gazed through the fence at the shocked looks of the bullies. She ran home and told her parents. They were now puzzled even more than before. Maybe it would stop here? Nope.

The bullies never let up. Aura practiced with her power with every minute of spare time she had. No one was friends with her, so she had a good amount of spare time. Her water skills were increased by tenfold, though she was having trouble with her air powers. Sure it got her out of close calls, but that was all it was good for.

Her earth powers revealed themselves when she was around the age of ten. Once again, being chased home by bullies. Nothing new. The running was beginning to build up her stamina, and strengthening her legs. She could out run them about 9 out of 10 times, but sometimes you just have those days. She seemed so sluggish that day, the bullies easily caught up to her. Being cornered once more, the earth seemed to sense her fear and panic. A rumble was sent through the ground as a crack formed under the bullies feet. It split open to a six foot deep pit, and they all fell in. Aura, crying, informed her parents of her new powers. She didn’t know when it would stop. Her parents began to fight. They argued about what to do. It just made everything worse.

Her father traveled a lot for a living. Aura was very attached to her mother, her mother took the place of her father. One day, about a year ago, when her father was in Europe for business, Aura and her mother had gone for a walk around town. They were chatting happily, when sirens began to go off. Both were very confused, when a man walked out of the building they were standing next to. The building was the bank. Without a second look, the man pulled out a pistol and shot her mother in the head.

Something happened in Aura. Something
 snapped. Broke. Crumbled. Not even thinking, she lunged at the man, and dragged him to the ground. All she could see was red, and her blood was literally boiling. She could hear faint screaming, for all she could really hear was the blood roaring in her ears. Before she knew it, the flesh on the man begin the melt, until he was a puddle of liquid. She crawled off of him, and flopped down on the ground as her eyes rolled back in her head.

There is still a large scorch mark in the concrete ground in front of the bank today.

She awoke, and hour later, in a hospital bed. She looked in a mirror, and had to blink a few time before registering the fact that her eyes were red. The doctor came into the room and told her that her mother was in fact dead, and her father was coming home.

Aura was devastated. Her mother was really all that she had. Her father was a mess. He took on drugs, which ended his life only half a year later from an over dose. Aura truly didn’t have anyone left. She was placed in an orphanage, where she still attended school. Every night she would cry and images of her mother’s lifeless body crumpling to the ground would replay. Nightmares. Every night. Her life became a living hell. She started cutting. No one knew. It may have only lasted for a few months, but it was still there. She stopped about three months afterwards. Though the scars are still there. A reminder of what happens when she gets low.

She heard of the Teen Titans. She wanted to help the world, to prevent what happened to her family from happening to others. She never wanted anyone to have to go through that pain.

There was not really much time to argue with Melon-E Melanie. Not because he believed it to be a great course of action; snapping her neck, but because he didn't get the chance to. He could only really remember Aurora agreeing with the batshit crazy plan, as well as Pulse, when he....

Killed her.

An uncharacteristically horrified look appeared briefly on Sprouse's face the moment he saw her head twist to a degree it was not meant to. He saw her murdered right in front of him, and was stunned - she was his friend, wasn't she? And he was right there and did nothing to stop it.

Just like mom and dad....

But, then she moved towards him almost like a lunge. He stepped back in pure reflex, though she stopped herself and fell to her knees, then twisting her neck back like a zombie might in a horror movie. It was.... strange, unreal. What was her ability? She stood up, THANKING Pulse for breaking her neck, then taking command of the situation and ordering the rest to flee, while ordering him to go save Aurora. Sighing, he complied, but not before thinking, "Well that's the last time I worry about you assholes. Jeez, I'm probably the only one who would die from that, if they're all so eager to break necks".

The quest to find his downed teammate was not a difficult one. She was, after all, leaning against an nearby wall, and had only recently complained about being famished, or the sort. Sprouse hurriedly moved over to her, crouching down and smiling to her. "Hey, you ready to go? I'm sure you can pig out all you want when we get back to the tower!" he explained, offering her a hand. He was going to carry her. "Unless, of course, you like hanging out with a doomed building. Getting crushed doesn't sound too appealing to me, but I'm not you..."

KrĂłtos slammed into the new kid as hard as he possibly could. His arm extended, his lariat caught the man in a clothesline and drove him to the ground. His eyes rolled back in his head for a moment and he passed out. KrĂłtos sighed and took the opportunity to toss one of his net balls at him. Sure enough, it bound his midsection up like a hand rolled burrito while still being roomy enough to breathe. Satisfied with his handiwork on that particular gadget, KrĂłtos bent down for a moment, inspecting the kid. His body was stange. It was very sturdy, but felt... patchwork... at best. While his body was laced with seamless integrations of strange technology, it felt unwieldy. KrĂłtos only chuckled. Who was he to question the stability of someone's body, after all, outside of his little sphere Ryan was blind to the whole world. Regardless, KrĂłtos turned to face the group of fighters, but the sounds of their scuffle were obvious. It was at least three on one, and that was hardly fair, even if the opponent in question was as good as she was. From what KrĂłtos could tell of her body when they'd locked for a split second, she was built well and her movements had very little extraneous movements in them. KrĂłtos only sighed, it was his party but that newcomer with the staff had crashed it. KrĂłtos walked over to some rubble and sat for a moment. Something wasn't right. He was the good guy here. He was the one on the side of justice, so why was there this... insecurity. Was he... wrong?

'We defend this place because there is still hope... If there is even a single person in this Jump City who is good, then it is worth saving... It is the hope that we bring that will cleanse this city, not fear... Love, guidance and protection will strengthen the good and clear out the corruption you speak of... More hatred will only bring more evil, and it is why the corruption remains... more hatred will only bring more evil... more hatred... more evil... You're unsatisfied...' That android's voice echoed through his head. Resulting in a single, unshakeable truth. 'She's right...' KrĂłtos thought to himself. 'What happened to me? All these years, all my life, wasted for some cheap revenge? That's not what my family, my friends, the ones who were most precious to me would want.' Ryan thought hard, puzzling over where he went wrong, what he could have done differently. He couldn't come up with anything. Where had he gone so wrong? Killing innocent civilians? Isn't that what he hated more than anything? Didn't that make him who he was trying to defeat all these years?

Suddenly, there was an incredible disturbance in the ground. It felt like something was... wriggling. KrĂłtos slammed his hand against the ground, forming vibrations that would tell him the state of things. Something was attached to his bombs, the one's he'd fitted with anti-tampering software. 'What the hell? Is it the android? That idiot! She's only making it worse. I have to stop it.' Standing and stowing his weapons as quickly as he could, KrĂłtos stood and punched his way through the ground. It took a few strikes at first, but as he absorbed more and more impacts, his punches struck harder and harder. Finally he was through, and into the deep basement of the courthouse. Using what little time he had left, KrĂłtos bounced around the hallways and pillars of the catacombs, collecting his six bombs and returning to the surface. However, just as he reached the courtroom, he heard a very odd conversation as he piled the bombs in a neat little pyramid.

"I need you to break my neck." The android's voice. An odd request but hardly life threatening.

"You know, you're taking this a little too far. We got shit to do, come on and stop it." Another voice, the second one that had appeared. He was rightly nervous, but he shouldn't have worried.

"Enough of your tales mateys. NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION!" The fourth voice which had mistaken him for a woman and had been tied up recently, he must have woken up. His voice was followed by, what sounded like some sort of horn. It was loud, and slightly garish, but there was a strange beauty to its tone. Ryan had no idea how he was playing it without any hands though, as KrĂłtos had bound them. That sound was followed once again by the boy's voice, "Could ye be a dear an' free me from these here hellish binds anybody?" The whole proceeding was strange, but weirder things had happened to KrĂłtos before. Finally, the situation was coming to a close, and KrĂłtos heard the android girl from before square up with him. Without warning, she charged. As she approached, KrĂłtos raised his hands in an odd posture, one that seemed to say, "Wait! Let's just talk this out." However, she didn't seem to care and attacked Ryan. Sidestepping her was an easy matter, as well as deflecting her attacks so she wouldn't hurt herself. At that, KrĂłtos took another quick leap and landed directly behind the small pile of bombs. "Stop! Just wait a second and listen to me. I need you all to get out of here. I know this is an odd request, but please, just leave. My powers are... very well suited for what's about to happen in thirty seconds." KrĂłtos said, motioning to the small pile of bombs. "Evacuate everyone. I'm going to attempt to stop the explosion. If I live, you can take me in. A lifetime of repentance will serve me well. If not... at least no one else will get hurt. Please. I need you to trust me." KrĂłtos said earnestly, looking directly at where he could feel the android was standing. Slowly, he reached up and took off his mask, revealing his handsome, though scarred face as well as his long hair and blinded eyes. He smiled, barely enough of a curl forming to turn up his lip, but it was there. "Please. Get out of here." KrĂłtos pleaded.

As soon as she left, and everyone else was gone, KrĂłtos replaced his mask and knelt down, placing his hands over the bombs. "Let's hope this works." KrĂłtos said to himself. KrĂłtos channelled every scrap, every ounce of power into his hands. Explosions were, after all, just a really big set of impacts gone horribly wrong. Maybe, just maybe, he could consolidate all that energy and force, and release it in a safe manner, as outright stopping it would be impossible... The hole in the ceiling! A perfect outlet! In a split second, KrĂłtos pointed his left hand up into the sky, palm facing the heavens. KrĂłtos was going to use his whole body as a tube and direct the blast out the hole in the ceiling. With seconds on the clock, KrĂłtos closed his eyes and hoped for the best.

Outside, everything was quiet. Suddenly, a massive skyward pillar of flame, light, sound, and force erupted from the courthouse. The raw destructive might of six large explosives was channeled successfully inward and upward and was released without anymore structural damage to the building. Inside, an exhausted KrĂłtos lay on the floor and covered in soot. He was completely drained, and just keeping his eyes open was hard, but he'd done it. KrĂłtos had saved them all.

As she approached, KrĂłtos raised his hands in defense as Melanie darted towards him and she hesitated, allowing him to stepside her attack. She whirled around and continued to attack, intent on knocking him out without hurting him so she could safely get him out of the building, but for some reason though he blocked her attacks he didn't seem to want to inflict harm either. As Melanie processed this, trying to understand his motives he made a quick leap and landed directly behind the small pile of bombs.

"Stop! Just wait a second and listen to me. I need you all to get out of here. I know this is an odd request, but please, just leave. My powers are... very well suited for what's about to happen in thirty seconds." KrĂłtos said urgently, motioning to the small pile of bombs.

Melanie narrowed her eyes, not in hatred but with a sense of urgency. The timer on her arm was still tick tick ticking away and every small beep made her heart pound. "KrĂłtos, don't be so riduculous! If these bombs go off they'll take out anyone remaining in the building, yourself included!" She moved to tackle him again but something about his earnest expression made her stop."Evacuate everyone. I'm going to attempt to stop the explosion." he said with an odd sense of finality that made Melanie take a slow step back and clentch her fists. "And if you can't stop the explosion? Then what?"

"If I live, you can take me in. A lifetime of repentance will serve me well. If not... at least no one else will get hurt. Please. I need you to trust me." KrĂłtos said earnestly, looking directly into Melanie's golden eyes, causing a small tremor to run through her body. Slowly, he reached up and took off his mask, revealing his handsome, though scarred face as well as his long hair as well as, she realized, blind eyes. He smiled, barely enough of a curl forming to turn up his lip, but it was there and it caused her to shake from the purity of it.

"Please. Get out of here." KrĂłtos said softly. Melanie hestitated for just a moment as the timer slowly ticked down before she clentched her fists and pointed at him, her gold eyes narrowed, her arm shaking uncharacteristically.

"You'd better made it out of this alive... Ryan."

And with that, Melanie turned her back to him and escaped the building. She rejoined her team who was standing a short distance away, Aurora supported by Sprouse and the two of them standing beside Pulse. She couldn't bring herself to make eye contact with them and instead stood infront of them, placing herself between them and the building. She didn't need to look down at the timer.

5...4...3...2...1.....

The quiet of the empty street was shattered by the sound of an explosion and suddenly, a massive skyward pillar of flame, light, sound, and force erupted from the courthouse. The explosion seared a hole through the ceilding and roof of the building and dispearsed safely into the sky. As the heat and light faded along with the echo, everything seemed to become still and Melanie felt she was stuck in slow motion. Painstakingly slowly she placed one foot infront of the other, her steps becoming faster and faster until she was running full on towards the courthouse.

Sprinting down the stairs she came to the room which she'd left KrĂłtos and scanned the burned room for a heat signature. Her human heart gave a small lurch of relief when she found an exhausted, but very much alive KrĂłtos laying on the floor. Speaking into her communicator device she said, "Good work Titans. Make your way back to the tower; I'll meet you guys there." before flipping the device closed. Slowly she walked up to KrĂłtos, kneeling beside the soot covered boy. Seeing him in this disheveled state, still breathing, still alive, she couldn't help a small giggle.

Gently, ever so carefully, Melanie picked him up. As she spoke her voice was gentle and she was filled with a strange sense of relief. "Welcome to the team, Ryan O'Connell."

The Night Watcher watched what appeared to be signs of struggle inside the courthouse, there was clearly a battle going on inside. "Finally, I was wondering when this punk was gonna start defending himself, now if he would just blow the shit up, I can do what I came to do." The battle goes on for a few minutes, and then he sees the five people he watched enter individually earlier, leave as a group. As the group exited the police backed away form the building. "Finally it's gonna blow!" The Night Watcher thought preparing himself to manipulate the debris. Suddenly a pillar of fire erupted straight up out of the building creating a perfect circular hole about 6 feet in diameter. "DAMMIT! That's almost no debris." The Night Watcher said to himself as he took a deep breath. Outstretched his hand towards the debris and closed his eyes. The pillar of soot that was created when the material from the roof was vaporized by the heat of the explosion, moved abnormally following his command and stopped creating a cloud above ten officers, he was hoping to take care of at least thirty five today, but ya work with what ya got. He picked this particular group because even though there were larger groups, the Chief of Police was with this group, and The Night Watcher wanted him dead more than any other corrupt cop. He took another deep breath, this time holding it, his hand, which was at this point palm out towards the cloud, moved, his fingers now pointing downward at the police officers. The cloud lowered to them, particles of soot being forced into their lungs. For good measure The Night Watcher took his other hand waved a cross the scene slowly palm out towards the group of officers. This served to remove a some of the oxygen from the area, anyone who wasn't already choking would have only felt a little light headed but for the unfortunate ten that were targeted by The Night Watcher, they began to suffocate, the soot coated the alveoli in their lungs, blocking them from absorbing oxygen, unfortunately he could not coat them entirely, but the decreased oxygen in the atmosphere meant that their damaged lungs could not absorb enough oxygen. After a few minutes they all fell to the ground, clutching their throats, the paramedics on site tried and tried but could do nothing, the air they tried to pump into their lungs was resisted, but they couldn't find the blockages. The ten officers died, suffocated by the explosion in the courthouse.

The Night Watcher exhaled slowly and reached down to his PDA turning on the news channel. Larry Jenkins's face yet again appeared on the device "We have some breaking news from the courthouse. Only moments ago five teenagers left the building with Judge Ramirez and handed him over the Chief of police, with evidence of the Judge's misdeeds. The judge was then taken to an ambulance and treated for minor wounds. Then out of no where - " The scene cuts to an image of the courthouse with a whole in the roof. "An explosion. All of the force was directed straight up creating a magnificent pillar of fire." The shot returns to Larry Jenkins. "The smoke hung in the air for a moment and then it moved, as if by magic over a group of police officers, before descending down on them. I regret to inform you that ten officers, including the Chief of Police, died tonight in the explosion, as a result of the strange movements of the debris. At the moment we have no information on how it happened, or who these five teenagers are." The Night Watcher smiled as he switched off the device and smiled, Didn't get them all, but I can make this work. He thought to himself as he ran from roof top to roof top on his way back to his observatory.

Upon arriving he knew he needed to take credit for the Chief's death, so he records a voice message, using voice altering technology to keep his identity hidden, "I am the Night Watcher, I killed those police officer's and the Chief because they are a virus plaguing my city. The police are corrupt, the justice system is fucked up, and the criminals are taking advantage of it. No one here is safe, the ordinary person is left to fend for themselves, most of them are forced into working for the criminals or dying. Prostitution or your family starving because you have no money, what decision would you make? There is no choice for most of theses people, it is my job to eliminate the criminals, all of them. Your precious boys in blue are some of the biggest offenders, but they'd never arrest themselves so I guess I'll have to serve as judge, jury, and executioner. The other criminals, the lucky ones will be left unconscious for the few just cops to clean up. The worst offenders however, have no hope for rehabilitation and will be exterminated. My city will return to it's former glory, a safe place to run your business, and raise your family. You won't have to live in fear that the vermin and scum will fuck up this city anymore." He ended the recording, played it back to himself and then burned it on to five CDs. He went out and dropped one off anonymously to each news agency in town, ensuring he wasn't spotted by camera's or any other surveillance. His package included a note saying that message was to be played on the 10 o'clock news tonight.

After dropping off the package at the last news agency, The Night Watcher checked his phone, it was 7:38 pm, he had plenty of time to peruse the information he retrieved from the Titan database. He made his way to his computer, sitting down and accessing the program he wrote earlier checking the information it received, the primary function succeeded in retrieving information on KrĂłtos, but the program was blocked before it was able to retrieve any other important information, The Night Watcher didn't expect perfection, the Titan database was bound to be well protected. He pulled up the information on KrĂłtos, it contained only a couple files, the most promising a video clip of a masked man, threatening the "little titan", the Night Watcher thought it odd that he only referred to one person, but couldn't figure out what it meant. Once he had gathered all of the information he could on KrĂłtos the Night Watcher began checking his security and surveillance systems, but it was a quiet evening, the criminals were apparently frightened by today's events at the courthouse. He switches to the news at 10, just in time to see mister Larry Jenkins yet again, this time on his television. "We have some alarming information, that the police would rather we not share, but I have decided to share it with you all anyway. Now I must warn you the tape I'm about to play contains strong language, please be advised that children should change the channel now." He said before playing the audio file. The Night Watcher heard the message he recorded earlier and smiled, now they knew who he was, and what he was willing to do. "I don't know what I'm gonna do about this KrĂłtos person, but for now I'll let him do what he wants, and I'll stop him after I've taken care of more of the cities worst criminals. Just need to figure out my next target." He said to himself relaxing in his chair.

"Hey, you ready to go? I'm sure you can pig out all you want when we get back to the tower! Unless, of course, you like hanging out with a doomed building. Getting crushed doesn't sound too appealing to me, but I'm not you..."

Aura looked up. She shook her head. “N-no. That doesn’t sound very fun to me either
” But she was reluctant. She wanted to walk away from this one. But, the odds were she wasn’t going to. She grabbed onto Sprouse’s hand and let him pick her up. Her head was pounding with every footstep Sprouse took. She let out a moan and rubbed her temple with her free hand.

When they got outside, Aura breathed in the fresh air. It cleared her vision a bit. She had just enough time to look up and see a large pillar of flames erupt from the center of the building. A look of confusion showed upon her face. Aura wiggled out of Sprouses’s arms and stood up, but kept her hand on his arm for balance. “So
 umm
 did we win?” She asked simply.

It was not a moment later that there was a large amount of smoke surrounding a group of police men. They began to suffocate. Aura gasped and made an attempt to run forwards, but it was like jumping out of a two story window. You knew you were going to fall, you were just hoping it wasn’t going to hurt very much. She stumbled forwards and grabbed onto a street lamp or something. She held out her hand and clenched her jaw. She was trying to get rid of the cloud, before they suffocated. But she didn’t have the strength left. Her breathing was growing heavier. Aura kept trying, but she was powerless. They all dropped, knees buckling. Aura felt tears drip from her eyes as the last one collapsed. She choked back a sob and felt her knees wobble. The way they fell was all too familiar to her

Ryan was finished with that conversation, she offered words of consolation, but they did nothing to dull the aching throb of hatred in his heart. His hands were still shaking and he felt sick to his stomach. He held himself together long enough to inquire about his gear. Hopefully, a change of subject would make him feel better. As he asked, the girl grinned, or at least it sounded as if she had, apparently she had been waiting for this question as he tone indicated relief and professionalism that was not present within the words of comfort she had previously issued. She snapped her fingers, the signal producing a drawer which slid out of the wall along with a small click as it locked into place. "All of your equipment is in there. I apologize if I was prying but I went ahead and scanned all the weaponry and repaired what had been damaged in battle." RYan simply nodded. While her help was unnecessary, he was glad she'd offered it. As an android, her idea of maintenance would have been far superior to his. Ryan managed a weak smile of thanks. Turning to the door she puts her hand on the handle, "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go check on all the others. It's become... just a little bit too quiet... Anyways, please come out when you're done." With that she gave Ryan a small smile and walked out the door.

Ryan sat for just a moment. Without warning, he slapped his hands on both sides of his face, hard, as if to wake him from a haze. It was something his father used to do to him before his soccer games. It helped to focus him, it also provided a crude map of the room he was in. He jumped out of bed, the only thing covering his nearly naked body was his compression shorts, a white tank top, and a hospital gown. As his feet his the floor, the vibrations caused from his impact brought the room into his view. Ryan threw the gown off of his body and walked to where he sensed the drawer had slid out of the wall. Ryan slid into the augmented jumpsuit. The stiff plates of kevlar and treated ceramics covering the vulnerable parts of his body as well as his primary striking surfaces. He felt better in the suit. It felt like a second skin to him. He strapped the utility belt around his waist and loaded the gadgets he hadn't used into their respective pockets. Next, he slipped on his boots and laced them tightly. The featherlight black leather felt supple, and supportive. No shoes would ever compare to such boots. Next were his weapons. The staff found its way to his right hip holster, the knives his left, and finally, the kukiri was stored in its sheathe located at the small of Ryan's back. Lastly, Ryan reached down and lifted the mask to his face. Even though he was a Titan now, it wouldn't have felt right. The mask defined him, made him feel safe. Regardless, if his new teammates didn't like it, he could care less. As he walked out of the room, he left his jacket there. He didn't need it any longer. He felt like the jacket hid him, shrouded him in doubt. He wasn't immodest or anything like that without the jacket, as he was fully covered by the thick belt and the black jumpsuit. Further, he no longer felt the need to hide his strength anymore. It would serve, instead, as a warning to those who would challenge him. I am a defender of this City. Test your might against me if you dare. Ryan thought to himself. He smiled weakly to himself. Sounds pretty good for only being true a few minutes ago. Ryan walked over to the door. Reaching for the handle, he hesitated for a moment. Would the others accept him? Would they reject him? Would they fight him? They had every right to despise him. However, Ryan would get no where by waiting. He shook off his fear and opened the door. Ryan, "looked" everywhere, but could feel no vibrations in the floor. He walked over to the wall and tried again there, but no such luck. This was one of the few times he hated his powers. They provided no leverage here. Frustrated, Ryan banged his hand against the wall, creating vibrations that would tell him the general layout of his immediate area. His fist left a dent in the wall that he didn't care about. He could fix it later, for now, he either needed a guide, or a plan. Since android/hologram girl was no where to be found, Ryan's second idea seemed better.

Ryan sat on the floor and focused. He allowed himself to achieve perfect silence and stillness. From there, he pushed his sensory input to the max, allowing his Tremorsense to reach it's way around half of the tower. Sweating, and breathing hard, Ryan found a central point where a large TV and couch were. This appeared to be the living room/kitchen as there were also cooking facilities. Ryan relaxed, bringing his senses back to his immediate area, a twenty foot wide circle, centered on his feet. He got up and walked to the room, following the mental map of the tower he'd created. He sensed footsteps. "So, am I in the right spot? This place is way bigger on the inside than I imagined." Ryan inquired, asking the whole room. Not being able to "see" past twenty feet made social situations such as these quite odd.

The trip back to the tower was just a large blur. Aura wasn’t sure if she was carried or she brought herself, but all she remembered was dragging her exhausted, battered body to the couch and passing out as soon as her head hit the leather.

Aura didn’t get to sleep long. Her ridiculously empty stomach plagued her, even in sleep. With a light, high pitched moan, Aura rolled to the other side of the bed. Only she realized that this was a couch and not a bed. And there was no other side. She squeaked and dropped to the ground with a grunt. “Oh what a terrible way to wake up
” Aura complained quietly. She pulled her sour self to her feet. They instinctively moved towards the refrigerator, where food is usually held. Throwing it open, to Aura’s demise, she noted it was open.

“Ugh
 what’s a girl got to do to get some grub around here?!” Aura snapped silently to herself.

"So, am I in the right spot? This place is way bigger on the inside than I imagined."

Aura let out a small yelp and whipped around, shutting the fridge behind her. A light blush spread across her cheeks. This was not her home and she was in someone else’s fridge. Whoops. Aura suddenly remembered that this boy was blind. She sighed with relief and slunk away from the fridge and made her way back to the couches. She sat on the back of the couch and looked at Ryan. “I have to agree with you. This place is massive!” Aura marveled momentarily, looking around. “I believe you are standing in the right spot. Where you aiming to stand somewhere special..?” Aura asked seriously, tilted her head to the side. She wanted to find Melanie and ask if she had anything to eat



(OOC: I assumed that Melanie didn’t have food because, well, she’s a robot. Tell me if I’m wrong
 :3)

Melanie's hologram, upon turning the corner, vanished as she no longer had any use for it. Instead her conscious was transferred to her room, scattered here among her most beloved and powerful technology. From her room she could control the whole tower and keep an eye on everything that was going on.

Checking the cameras she located the two most active Titans in the Tower, Aura and Ryan, who had meet up in the kitchen and were discussing something. By the look on Aura's face Melanie would only guess it had something to do with food. Mentally she snapped herself. 'Idiot! You forgot people need to eat! Ugh, you've been virtual for so long you forgot the need other's have to eat.' and made a mental note to pick up some food, or send one of them out to get some, at the soonest opportunity that arose.

Just as she was about to check up on the other Titans the Titan Communicator rang and she activated it, listening to the voice of Pulse from the other end. "Help, scary girl, I'm not..." he hesitated, obviously searching for the appropriate word to use, "safe." He sounded distressed and Melanie could hear a lot of odd sounds in the background, sounds she identified as... cats meowing? Odd. Perhaps however he had a fear or allergy to cats. Either way, Melanie activated the speaker in the tower.

"Titans, Pulse is in trouble. I've activated the location tracking device on your Communicators to find him. Now move out!"

Before shutting off the speakers and transferring her consciousness into Mel's body, moving around a little, pleased to see that all necessary repairs had been made, before walking out of her room and heading out towards Pulse.
