[i]Beast Boy had always been the chatty type, but he felt this time was probably the longest conversation he ever sat through in. This strange girl who popped out of nowhere - [/i][color=00a651]Run[i]é[/i][/color][i], he mentally accented the last syllabus - pelted him with questions after questions about the current world and era. And she was sitting too close to him for comfort. [/i][color=00a651]I've got Rae[/color][i], he told himself sternly. It didn't help that both their names started with an 'R'.

It wasn't hard for him to gather enough information to make a good guess that Rune was definitely not someone from the same universe. She probably came from somewhere far away, from a world not under the watchful eyes of the Justice League. This perked his interest in her. [color=00a651]"So, uh, where were you from?"[/color] he asked finally, feeling a little worn out after he managed to satisfy her burning curiosity.

He was greeted by a sudden silence as Rune stopped talking. She seemed to be lost in thought before she replied, [color=f6989d]"I know what you're thinking. Since you've been so kind to teach me about your world, I shall educate you on the horrors of my world."[/color][/i]

[i]Rune told the green guy - who introduced himself as Beast Boy - everything she knew about her own universe: the decade-long war between the three powerhouse nations, how she was experimented on and acquired her synthetical body, how she tried to escape from hell with the other children but were brutally massacred by the underground android soldiers, how she used the prototype time machine in order to get out of the nightmare for good... 

[color=00a651]"What? Time machine?"[/color] Beast Boy raised his eyebrows. [color=00a651]"But even so, it's odd how you popped into my world out of thin air."[/color]

She shrugged. [color=f6989d]"I don't understand either. Well, don't ask me about that kind of complicated stuff - I only learned how to fight, not crackpot science."[/color] She flexed her fingers and stood up. [color=f6989d]"It's nice talking to you. I think I should be leaving."[/color]

[color=00a651]"Where are you going to?"[/color]

[color=f6989d]"No idea - we'll see where the wind takes me, I guess?"[/color]

[color=00a651]"You're in luck,"[/color] the green man grinned at her with an outstretched hand - she looked down to see a circular device sitting on his palm. [color=00a651]"Consider yourself a potential candidate."[/color]

Rune eyed it suspiciously. [color=f6989d]"What's this? For what?"[/color]

[color=00a651]"This is given to all recruits of Teen Titans. It's a communication device we use to keep in touch with each other. Keep it safe - we might contact you when the time comes."[/color] After passing the gadget to the girl, he added, [color=00a651]"Anyway, you're really a weird person - most normal girls wouldn't talk to a random guy like you did. At least not someone like me?"[/color] He was hinting at his greenish skin.

[color=f6989d]"Oh please, if there's a need to I'll just feed a bullet through his head, no probs."[/color][/i]

She had shamelessly demanded Beast Boy to write some letters to her, so that she could experience the feeling of the 'ancient' ways (okay, maybe that wasn't the right word). She looked up at the T-shaped building before her and took in a deep breath.

[color=f6989d][i]About time.[/i][/color]

[hr]
[center][color=Gray][h1][u]S A C R Y E D[/u][/h1][b]( Kenji Shihouin )[/b][/color][/center]

[i]Kenji Shihouin thought he was used to having intruders in his apartment - mostly his female clients who refused to let him off even after their time was over - but today was different.

One, it was a male, not a lady.
Two, this person had a green complexion, and he's obviously not someone normal.

Maybe someone just like himself.

[color=Gray]"How did you get in here?"[/color] he asked the stranger - there wasn't any hostility in his voice, just a hint of amusement.[/i]

[color=00a651][i]"[/i]How did I get in here? [i]I flew in here."[/i][/color][i] The stranger then transformed into a hummingbird and circled around the blond teen before he shapeshifted back to human form. [color=00a651]"It wasn't that hard - man, you didn't even install a single security babies in your house."[/color]

[color=Gray]"...Um, what's that?"[/color]

The green man dropped his jaw in shock, not quite believing what he had just heard.[/i] [color=00a651][i]"Wait, you don't even know what [/i]security [i]is?"[/i][/color][i] He sucked his breath. [color=00a651]"You're almost as bad as Star."[/color]

Kenji tilted his head in confusion. [/i][color=Gray][i]"[/i]Star?[i]"[/i][/color]

[i][color=00a651]"Not what you're thinking. Starfire's a good friend of mine - she's the same as you, aliens from other planets beyond Earth."[/color]

At that moment, the muscles on Kenji's body tensed. He frowned at the shapeshifter.[/i] [color=Gray][i]"Who are you? How do you know who - [/i]what[i] I am?"[/i][/color]

[i]The green man quickly raised up his hands and stepped back, but his hind legs hit the sofa and he fell clumsily onto it. He sat upright and grinned sheepishly. [color=00a651]"Hey, relax! I'm not going to hurt you or anything. I'm Beast Boy."[/color]

[color=Gray]"Kenji,"[/color] the blond boy responded curtly, his heterochromatic eyes still fixed unblinkingly on the animorph.

[color=00a651]"Y-Yeah, I'm here to pass this to you."[/color] He showed the communication device to Kenji, who snatched it away with lightning-quick speed too fast for Beast Boy's eyes to follow. [color=00a651]"We'll get in touch again when the time comes, so keep it safe with you."[/color]

The teen wasn't listening to the green guy, focusing his attention on the gadget he was given. Beast Boy watched as Kenji's shoulders drooped, his pretty face broke into a warm smile. [color=Gray]"I'm sorry about just now, and thank you for this. So, tea or coffee?"[/color][/i]
