The temperature in the lobby continued to drop further, and frost began to cover the muzzle of her firearms. Rune let out a string of curses under her breath and tried to wipe them off with her free hand. Feeling someone approaching towards her, she perked up, her eyes widened at the sight of a humanoid silhouette through the freezing haze. She aimed the barrel on her right arm at him. [color=f6989d]"Finally decided to show yourself, eh, popsicle?"[/color] As the last word left her cold lips, she fired at the figure.

It stopped in its tracks; the mist thinned to reveal a young man with strange blueish skin who stared at her with narrowed eyes, apparently not pleased at the nickname. She watched as he thrusted out his palms, a shard of ice shot out from his hands at the bullet. He failed; the bullet hit into his side, and blood began to ooze out from the wound. He dropped to his knees and lowered his head, a hand placed over the gash. Steady, heavy breathing sound pulsed from the fallen man as he tried to numb the pain with his icy power.

Vaguely aware of the alarm that had stopped, the gunslinging girl clucked her tongue in annoyance at the anticlimax turn of the event. She glared at him, moving closer and waving her firearms at the teenage boy, taunting him in a harsh tone, [color=f6989d]"Oi, that's not even a fight! What's that supposed to be?"[/color] She positioned the guns at his head, a smirk crept across her face at the click of the locks being pulled back. [color=f6989d]"Now get up and fight back like a man."[/color]

She would come to regret those words she uttered.

The man stood up slowly, both his hands in the air, his crystal-like eyes fixed on her. In one swift motion, he suddenly grabbed the barrels of the guns on her arms and pulled her closer. Before she could react, he gave her a skull-cracking headbutt - the impact momentarily dazed her, the agony stunned all her senses and spread throughout her entire body. She stepped back unsteadily, trying to regain control, but she released a loose missile at the ceiling, showering the struggling pair with more than just water - with falling rubble.

[color=7bcdc8]"Okay, now who the heck is trying to destroy our home [i]again[/i]? I patched up the garage only just yesterday!"[/color]

Beast Boy couldn't help agreeing with the irritated Cyborg - who was bringing up the rear - as the team raced down the stairs towards the source of commotion: the lobby. They were unable to see much from the surveillance footage as the site seemed to be fogged, only a gunshot that triggered the security system (which, thanks to Robin's - or rather, Nightwing's - quick reflex, bypassed the code before the whole place was locked down).

[color=a187be]"Tell me about it,"[/color] Raven's deadpan, snarky remark never failed to nail the mark. (That's what made Beast Boy heads over heels for the dark sorceress.) [color=a187be]"It's what we get for being world-saving superheroes."[/color]

No comments were made after Raven's and they continued down in silence, only their thundering footsteps echoing off the walls. The moment they burst out to the lobby, they were immediately struck by a blast of cold air, in which Beat Boy let out an unceremonious sneeze. Nightwing wasn't reacting well to the freezing temperature either; he seemed to have frozen ([color=00a651][i]quite literally[/i][/color], Beast Boy mused), gaping at the two shadows brawling ahead. The green teen followed the gaze of their leader, and gasped. He knew who these two were. [color=00a651]"U-Uh, what just happened here?"[/color]

[color=7bcdc8]"[i]Tell me about it.[/i]"[/color] Beast Boy had to force down the urge to snicker at Cyborg mimicking Raven's phrase. [color=7bcdc8]"That lady over there sure has great taste like me."[/color] He waved his blaster hand, grinning from ear to ear.

Raven wasn't amused at Cyborg's mocking hint. [color=a187be]"Let's not talk about fashion sense here."[/color] She sidestepped a falling chunk of concrete before turning her attention to Nightwing. [color=a187be]"And do something about them, can't we?"[/color]

The Tamaran princess was even unhappier at the fighting pair, but for a different reason. Starfire did not like how this had unfolded. [color=f9ad81]"Are they our new friends? It's not good for friends to fight each other!"[/color] Her green eyes lit up and she raised a balled fist, ready to unleash her starbolt at them. If one didn't know the alien well enough, her aggressive gesture contradicted with her words in a menacing way.

Nightwing gave Starfire a curt nod. How long had it been since he last said this nostalgic command? [color=0054a6]"Titans, stop them!"[/color]

[color=00a651][i]Just like the good ol' times[/i][/color], Beast Boy thought as the five snapped into action: Starfire flew towards the pair on the ground and threw a starbolt, sending the armed girl - Rune - flying backwards; Raven then pinned the thrashing gunner down with her dark astral projection. Nightwing and Cyborg rushed towards the cryokinetic boy, noticing that he was injured; however, the leader wasn't as sympathetic as his other partner - he pointed his reinforced staff at the blue man, Ryan.

Ryan threw up a free hand, shaking it along with his head. [color=00aeef]"No, no, no, no, no!"[/color] His frantic voice made Beast Boy wished that he could half of Nightwing's unparalleled charisma. [color=00aeef]"I was just waiting here because I got the signal! This lady burst in and shot me!"[/color]

[color=f6989d]"Hey!"[/color] Rune managed to shake off the dizziness and pointed a finger at Ryan, not caring that the gun on her was also directed dangerously at him. [color=f6989d]"How would I know you're not an enemy? Why would you be sneaking around like a thief if you already got the invitation? And he's trying to freeze my limbs!"[/color]

[color=00a651]"Whoa, whoa."[/color] Beast Boy eyed at her armed arm cautiously. (This wasn't a time for pun!) [color=00a651]"Chillax, girl! Like I said, that's some pretty nasty stuff."[/color]

[color=7bcdc8]"Nasty?"[/color] Cyborg growled at his gaming buddy. [color=7bcdc8]"They are awesome! Are you saying that I'm nasty too?"[/color]

[color=a187be]"[i]Boys.[/i]"[/color] The underlying hint of annoyance in Raven's impassive tone did its job to shut the bickering Titans up. [color=a187be]"Focus."[/color]

Starfire didn't like those guns as much as Beast Boy, but what she intended to do made the situation worse. [color=f9ad81]"Friends do not fight with each other,"[/color] she declared. [color=f9ad81]"Robin, may I destroy those guns on her body?"[/color]

[color=f6989d]"Wha---?"[/color] Rune began to stood up, going into a defensive stance.

Nightwing retracted his staff and let out a sigh - now wasn't the time snowball this pointless fight into something worse. [color=0054a6]"That's enough! Now stand down!"[/color] He threw a look at Beast Boy and silence befell in the half-demolished lobby of the Titan Tower.

[color=00a651]"Right, introductions."[/color] The awkwardness was suffocating the animorph that he had to break it. He should consider becoming a welcome boy for the Titans, seeing that he was always the one making the introductory talks. [color=00a651]"So...Ryan. And Run[i]é[/i]."[/color] The emphasis brought a weak smile onto the gun girl's face, but Raven's soft cough behind him prevented the green guy from returning the acknowledgement.

[color=f6989d]"You can call me Railgun."[/color]

Cyborg let out a whistle. [color=7bcdc8]"Now that's a cool name!"[/color]

[color=f6989d]"Not cool - it's a [i]hot[/i] name!"[/color] she retorted back playfully, laughing along with the African-American Titan.

Raven rolled her eyes, resigning to the fact that she would have more than Cyborg's jokes to deal with; Starfire was somewhat confused at the ongoing exchange, but she started to brighten up, thinking that everyone was on good terms with each other now. Beast Boy allowed his tense shoulders to drop - he glanced at Rune, but gulped when he spotted Raven glaring at him from the corner of his eye.

[color=00aeef]"I'm Ryan. Also Tundra."[/color] The blue boy's breathing was becoming harsher; he grunted as he pushed himself off the wall towards the team. [color=00aeef]"Now can we please remove the bullet in my side?"[/color]

[color=a187be]"I'll do that."[/color] Raven drifted closer to him and placed a palm over his wound; black mystical energy flowed out from her hand to the bullet wedged in his side. [color=a187be]"[i]Azarath Metrion Zinthos[/i],"[/color] she murmured, drawing out the tiny metallic piece carefully. Once she removed the bullet, she channeled a little more magic to close the wound.

Just then, the lobby door slid open to let in the hot air from outside - and also a newcomer. A teenage boy with an appearance too perfect for any normal human being. Kenji raised his eyebrows at the aftermath before him. [color=Gray]"Um, so what did I miss?"[/color]

[color=00a651]"Nothing,"[/color] Beast Boy scratched his head and shrugged. [color=00a651]"You've come just at the right time. Welcome to the party, Kenji."[/color]

Nightwing merely ran his fingers through his hair - it had been a really long day.
