Jump City

The branches of the trees bow with the heavy load they are carrying, bending towards the floor. If only they could shake themselves like a dog covered in water does; they would be free. Everything glistens, as if a fairy has sprinkled her dust over the entirety of the city. Colors are brighter against the pure white blanket that spreads as far as the eye can see. There is a momentary hint of blue sky, and even this bit of light was enough to release a flash of diamonds across the wide landscape, so oddly disfigured by its snowy adventure. The clouds thicken once more and cover the sky, creating a mirror-like white blanket similar to the snow covered ground; the horizons blur together, except for the deep ocean that remains a shimmering grey reflecting the white sky. No matter the time of day, the clouds hide the light, preventing definite shadows. Everything seems quieter, almost muffled. There is a sense of serenity in the atmosphere, adding to the eeriness and quietness, which permeates indefinitely into Titan Tower. The elevator seemed to be the only thing still fully operational, though whilst going up the elevator strange noises peirce the walls hinting at struggling machinery or something happening beyond one could perceive from the inside of the elevator. The doors open and reveal a reletively empty and strangely ominous hub. Red carpet even though noticibly dulled from time naturally pulls one to walk along its path and see what its road has to offer. The couch is facing what looks to be a wall though it is simply the windows not allowing anyone to see in or out of the tower, the Titans left it that way before they left. The carpet branches off into two seperate dull paths leading towards what one would only asusme to be the living quarters. If one walked down both halls one would notice that there are seven bedrooms and only one bathroom, potentially making one think of all the possible bathroom disputes that have happened in the past.

The H.I.V.E Academy ("Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Extermination") is a school for young villains-in-training where they learn all the basics of becoming professional villains.Originally, the Academy was owned and headed by the H.I.V.E. Headmistress, before management was taken over by Brother Blood. During her term as the administrative authority, the academy served as a villain-in-training institution that provided "well organized, highly trained, and combat equipped" H.I.V.E. agents (graduates) for hire. Once in control of the facility and its students, Blood decided to accelerate his own plans by having his students steal money and high-tech components, arousing the interest of the Teen Titans.Cyborg went undercover as Stone, a new student, and found out that Blood was preparing to mass-construct a new weapon called an Ion Amplifier. In the course of the conflict, the Academy was destroyed by a sonic blast from Cyborg, augmented by the Amplifier. Subsequent attempts by Blood to reopen the H.I.V.E. Academy in other locations were likewise foiled by the Titans, and eventually Blood was captured and taken into custody. Years later, the institute was reopened by another headmaster, ready to teach his students to learn the ways of evil and defeat the Teen Titans.

As the wind peaked, a young man treked his way towards the tower, his mother once had called a home. His new home. His jet-black whipped around his face and his demonic like red eyes shone in the snow. He had shut his coat and put his hood on to act as like a protective shield form the wind. He looked up and examined the place he would call his future home. He scoffed "Where's the welcoming committee." he said seemingly to himself. In which a way he was, there was another figure behind him that looked exactly like him. He was also dressed in a similar fashion except the colors consisted of a pink coloring and his hair had a pink tint to it. "I'm pretty sure their just...uh....holding a surprise party for us Arellan!" he said with an optimistic tone. "Quiet down Happiness, I do not need nor want any unnessecary company. Also no time for parties." he said as unknowingly another male traveled behind him slowly. As Arellan made his way into the Tower, another man followed in. They found out that his name is Ronin. He was welcomed into the Titans and everything was fine.

Two months later, small white boots crunch into the deep snow as if no one had been there before. As the footprints continued the earlier ones were washed away by the seemingly endless supply of snow. This young woman was adorned with black tights along with a light blue hooded cloak, lined with faux white fur. Her dark sienna eyes gazed at the tower, wondering if it went even higher. She was to join the Titans as hr father told her. He wasn't going to intervene, he would let her do her own thing and make her own friends. She made her way to the door finally and knocked, waiting for a response from her soon to be teammates.
