Standing guard while a half-moth former super villain repairs a giant signal tower to recall a swarm of giant moths that are attacking the city is not how you expected your evening to be spent. But, here you are, on top of a rocky cliff, keeping watch over the island below for signs of trouble, while Killer Moth works frantically to repair the damage done to his signal tower. He definitely knows what he's doing, and from what you can tell, he's making good time, but you wish he would finish faster. You're worried about the city, and you're worried about your friends.

Robin and Starfire went to battle the swarming moths, with the Boy Wonder instructing you and Raven to help. Instead, you wound up bringing Killer Moth here, and standing guard while Raven went to help the others. It's three versus at least a hundred giant bugs, and both Beast Boy and Cyborg are nowhere to be found. You want to find your missing friends a lot more than you want to be standing here twiddling your thumbs while Killer Moth does his repairs, but you volunteered for this for a reason. If Moth can't repair the tower, then it won't matter if the whole team is out there; you won't be able to stop these things. And, if whoever let the giant moths out in the first place decides to come back and prevent Killer Moth from fixing the tower, you want to be here to stop him.

So far, you don't see anything.

>>A. "How's it coming?"

>>B. "Are you almost done yet?"

>C. Keep a close watch on the island

>D. Turn around and see what Killer Moth is doing

>>2197527

Can we take a quick glance at Moth too? We don't need to give him extended attention.

"How's it coming?" you ask Moth, not looking at him. You don't want someone to catch you unawares, after all.

"It's still going to be a few more minutes," Killer Moth answers, frustration clear even in his strange voice. "Whoever did this made a real mess. And once the tower's repaired, I'm going to have to get back home."

"Why?" you ask, still not looking.

"The release and return buttons are hidden in my home," he answers, cutting out near the end as the sound of power tools being used fills the air. "They're hidden behind a bullet-proof window that only opens for me. I didn't want Kitten, or that goof-for-nothing boyfriend of hers to get any funny ideas. Now it's looking like I should have made a remote control."

Even Killer Moth doesn't trust Kitten not to pull something? Geeze, you almost feel sorry for the girl. You don't really know anything about her boyfriend, but from the sounds of it, he doesn't have a good track-record either. You wonder what the story is with him.

Out of the corner of your eye, you see someone or something duck down behind a large stone on the ground below. It's right down the hill you used to reach this cliff, and positioned in such a way that you completely lose sight of the prowler when they move behind it. You don't have time to get a good look, and you don't even know what you saw. It could be Beast Boy or Cyborg.

Or, it could be your culprit.

>A. Approach the boulder, try and find out who or what that was

>B. Stay right where you are, and don't take your eyes off that boulder.

>>C. "Hey, Mr. Moth? We've got company."

>>D. "Please tell me you'll be done soon."

>E. Make sure to look at the rock every now and then, but keep watching the whole island to the best of your ability

Oh whoops, jumped the gun and took it as a write in. If we can write in, I'd like to go with this though.

"Hey, Mr. Moth? We've got company," you inform your charge as you look toward the stone.

"Keep them occupied," Moth instructs as he continues his work. "I should be done soon."

Great, so it's you against whoever this is with no backup. You more-or-less expected that much, but you aren't thrilled at the idea of having to fight this person alone, especially after what happened when you tangled with that mugger. You'll have to be a little smarter this time. You work up your nerve, and shout toward the boulder.

"Whoever's there, show yourself!" you call.

At first, nothing happens. Then, you faintly hear a noise, followed by the boulder cracking and a red light shooting from it, right at you. Instinctively, you create a barrier, and the red light strikes it dead-center with what would have probably been a killing shot if you hadn't blocked it. As it is, your force-field shatters, and you're thrown to the ground. You sit up, and look down toward your attacker, and it seems like you must have hit your head.

There's a man down there...you think. His lower body looks human enough, but his head...is that his head? Well, whatever it is on his neck, it looks like a giant spider. Not even just a spider head, but an entire giant spider, legs and all (well, four of them, anyway). In his right hand, he holds what looks like some kind of gun, which is pointed right at you, leading you to believe that's what he shot at you with. Judging by its appearance and how the shot went through the rock, you're guessing that's a laser gun. He's holding some other kind of weapon in his left hand, but you can't really tell what it is, much less what it does.

"I don't know who you are, kid," the spider on top of the guy says to you. "But get out of my way if you want to keep livin'."

"Fang!" you hear Killer Moth shout from behind you, the fury in his voice almost making you want to step away from him and closer to the spider.

"Hey there, old man," Fang greets, shifting his aim. "Just came to say goodbye."

>A. Focus your fear and create a barrier large enough to shield both you, and Killer Moth. Let yourself get afraid, you need all the power you can get right now.

>B. Remember something that scared you, focus hard, and try to create a shield strong enough to protect both of you

>C. Throw a Psychic Punch at that thing's face. You doubt he'll see that coming.

>D. Psychic Push, see if you can knock him down

>E. Try to Psychic Punch the gun out of his hand

>>F. Write-in (dialogue only)

>>2197687
>B.
>>F: "What are you doing!? The city is being destroyed!"

Lets get Fang to monologue to buy time.

>>2197687
>E. Try to Psychic Punch the gun out of his hand

>>2197687
>D. Psychic Push, see if you can knock him down

>>2197687
>B.
>>F: "What are you doing!? The city is being destroyed!"
I prefer the idea of focusing our fear rather than option A where it sounds like we'd let it run rampant.

>>2197717
Option A is focusing your fear. It's letting yourself be afraid and channeling it.

Option B is working off memory; more controlled, less power.

>>2197687
>>E. Try to Psychic Punch the gun out of his hand

>>2197722
>>2197717
In that case I want to change my vote from B to A

>A

Who the fuck wouldn't be afraid of a giant spider on someone's shoulders that speaks.

>>2197705
>>2197730
There are a few options open to you, but right now, you really just want that laser gun out of that crazy person's hand. You focus on it, think of an angry memory, giving yourself enough power to strike the gun with a good amount of force. Fang, with his foes at a distance and not knowing your powers, has a loose grip on his gun, meaning you easily succeed in knocking the weapon away.

"What the heck?" he asks, starting for the gun, but stopping after taking only a step.

He lifts his other gun, presumably with a tighter grip, and takes aim, not at Killer Moth, but at you. Seems he put two and two together, and decided he wants to take you out quickly. And, considering that you don't know what that gun does, you probably don't want to let him fire it.

"Where did you get that?!" Killer Moth demands, telling you that it probably isn't Fang's.

"Where do you think?" the spider man asks in return, pulling the trigger.

A stream of what looks like silk shoots from the barrel, heading right for you this time.

"Get down!" Killer Moth shouts, shoving you in the back.

Not having much choice, you fall forward, and the silky strands pass over you, nearly hitting Killer Moth, who twists his body in such a way that the string misses him by only a few inches.

"Don't let that hit you," Killer Moth says in what you consider an unnecessary warning. "It won't kill you, but you will be immobilized."

So, a stun gun of some kind. Good to know. Definitely an improvement over the laser, but still not something you want to get hit by.

"You can ask your friends about that," Fang tells you. "Well, you could if I was going to let you live that long."

>A. Get afraid; think of the danger you're in, think of your friends, think of the city. Do what you can to keep it in check, but use the power fear gives you to protect yourself and Killer Moth.

>B. Focus on creating a barrier large enough to shield you and Killer Moth

>>C. "Wait, you're going to kill me? Why?"

>>D. "Beast Boy and Cyborg are alive?"

>>E. "Mr. Moth, I'll hold him off, finish fixing the tower!"

>F. Get good and mad, don't let it run wild, but focus it and hit Fang good and hard

>G. Focus and remember, use some Psychic Punches you know you can control

>H. Try knocking this gun out of his hand, too

>>2197799
>F. Get good and mad, don't let it run wild, but focus it and hit Fang good and hard

>B
>E

At least he didnt murder our only friends. So that's a plus.

>>2197799
>>E.
>F.

Even if we protect Moth, we need to get him back home, and that's not going to happen as long as this guy is a threat. Time to go ham.

>>2197799
>>>E. "Mr. Moth, I'll hold him off, finish fixing the tower!"
>>F. Get good and mad, don't let it run wild, but focus it and hit Fang good and hard
This seems good.

>>2197799
>>F. Get good and mad, don't let it run wild, but focus it and hit Fang good and hard

Wheres the option to let it run wild?

>>2197853
Doing that would do much more harm than good, I didn't think Peter would even consider it.

>>2197853
>>2197857
Probably would need to be desperate enough that collateral damage would be strictly less bad than not going nuts.

>>2197799
>>E. "Mr. Moth, I'll hold him off, finish fixing the tower!"
>F. Get good and mad, don't let it run wild, but focus it and hit Fang good and hard

>>2197813
>>2197826
>>2197820
"Mr. Moth, I'll hold him off," you tell the bug-man that's actually on your side. "Finish fixing the tower!"

"Right, you'll hold me off," Fang says, amused. "I'd like to see you try."

Well, he asked for it.

What you're about to do is not something you take lightly. You're all-too aware of the risk you're going to take, and the consequences should you fail. You wanted to avoid this, but it looks like you don't have much of a choice. Killer Moth needs time to finish his repairs, and then make it safely home. Fang isn't planning to let that happen, so you have to take drastic measures. Per Raven's advice, when you use your powers, you mostly remember events that caused the emotions associated with whatever power you're trying to use. Once you do that, you're able to recreate the sensations of those powers with your mind. It takes concentration, and a lot of effort if you want to make it powerful. But, there is another way. You can let the emotions give you power, then pick a target and focus on it. That let you land a nice hit on Robin during training, but you lose control, and wrecked the training room in the process. This time, you know more of what to expect, of when to stop.

Or, so you hope.

Anger boils up from deep inside, and you let it give you power. It's not allowed to run wild, but you're not suppressing it either. You're letting it work through its natural course, and giving it a target.

You imagine yourself punching Fang in his smug spider face, then will for it to happen. Without having to raise a fist, you sock Fang right in the...kisser? You don't want to think about it. What's kind of odd is that you swear you can see a red fist appear in front of Fang and hit him, but you can't really be sure. Whatever happened, Fang was obviously not prepared for it, and falls onto his back, his spider legs flailing wildly before re-positioning themselves and pushing him back up to his feet.

>A. Hit him again and again! Don't let up!

>B. This isn't enough power. You need more, get angrier!

>C. Choose some different targets; a punch to the groin might have a more noticeable effect, and some gut-punches are sure to bring some pain.

>D. Don't hit Fang, push him back.

>>E. Calm yourself down, go back to the old way

>>2197936
>>C. Choose some different targets; a punch to the groin might have a more noticeable effect, and some gut-punches are sure to bring some pain.
Alright, looks like we're on the right track when it comes to balancing power and control. I hope we can keep it up.

>>2197936
>A. Hit him again and again! Don't let up!

>>2197936
>>C. Choose some different targets; a punch to the groin might have a more noticeable effect, and some gut-punches are sure to bring some pain.

Then finish him while imagining him being hit with a steel folding chair.

>>2197936
>D.

Lets build some distance.

Hey, MoG, can we choke/crush like we did against Blood?

>>2197962
You can try, but that can be risky

>>2197936
>>A. Hit him again and again! Don't let up!

>>2197968
Noted.

>>2197968
Choking out a person is dangerous, too much pressure could crush their throat by accident.

>>2197936
>>C. Choose some different targets; a punch to the groin might have a more noticeable effect, and some gut-punches are sure to bring some pain.

>>2197988
Indeed, and the state of mind to do something like that is dangerous

>>2197946
Okay, that clearly wasn't comfortable for him, but you aren't going to keep him down that way, not before he has a chance to fight back. Time to choose some new targets.

Your next attack hits him right in the gut, knocking the wind right out of the disgusting criminal as he nearly falls forward, only saved from face-planting by his spidery legs, which push him back up. After that, you get meaner, making your next shot hit him right between his legs. You can swear you see his buggy eyes bulge from where you're standing, but what seems to matter most is that his hands quickly move to cover his groin, and his knees buckle. You throw another Psychic Punch, hitting him in the gut again, and he rolls over onto his back, stuck for the moment in a back-and-forth roll and groaning in pain.

A sharp pain shoots through your head, and you cringe, bringing your hands up to hold it.

>A. Calm down, don't let yourself lose control

>B. One more shot, make it count! Give the strongest punch you can and knock his lights out! Then you can calm down

>C. Use the power your anger's giving you, mentally grab his throat and choke him out

>D. Let it all out in a final strike at Fang

>>2198052
>A. Calm down, don't let yourself lose control

>>2198052
Shit, I really want to do a write in here.

MoG, if you allow it: grab the restraining gun and use it on him.

If not, >A.

>>2198052
>>A. Calm down, don't let yourself lose control
Brain is hurting from using mental powers, that's a clear sign.

>>2198061
I'll allow you to do that, but it will be an action on its own and there may be consequences

>>2198076
Understood. We got him on the ropes, this seems like the safest way to contain him, short of it blowing up in our faces. The fact that he's grabbing his balls should make the actual action easy though.

>E. Grab the silk gun, and use it to restrain Fang.

>>2198090
Keep in mind his spider head also has giant spider legs, and he often uses those in place of walking on his human legs. He can easily recover if he realizes we're going for the gun.

>>2198101
You're not wrong. Still, I made my vote. Even if we don't get his spider legs restrained, without his hands he can't fire guns.

>>2198055
>>2198062
Don't lose control, don't lose control. Run through your breathing exercises, calm yourself, keep your anger in check. Keep your powers under control. It's your mind, it's your power, it won't run wild if you don't let it. Deep, calming breaths, that's all. In and out. In and out.

The pain in your head fades away, as does most of your anger, but a lot of power goes along with it. Not only that, but you're starting to feel a little tired. You usually don't wear yourself down this quickly, but you guess that going off emotion rather than thought took a lot out of you. Fortunately, Fang doesn't seem to be doing much better. He's back on his feet, more or less, but he's dropped his gun, and his hands are still covering his crotch.

That doesn't mean he won't try anything, though what comes next seems kind of juvenile. He spits at you, at least you think it's spit. There seems to be a lot of it. Somehow, you get the feeling that letting it hit you would be a bad idea.

>A. Focus and create a barrier to block it, then strike back with a Psychic Punch

>B. Dive out of the way and throw another Psychic Punch at his groin

>C. Dive out of the way and try to get to his restraining gun

>D. Dive out of the way and try to get to his laser gun

>>2198162
>C.

Nice.

>>2198162
>>A. Focus and create a barrier to block it, then strike back with a Psychic Punch

>>2198162
>>C. Dive out of the way and try to get to his restraining gun

>>2198162
>A. Focus and create a barrier to block it, then strike back with a Psychic Punch
I'm worried that if we dodge his spit will hit something important. Gotta remember we're trying to guard Mr. Moth.

>>2198162
>C. Dive out of the way and try to get to his restraining gun

>>2198162
>>C. Dive out of the way and try to get to his restraining gun

Give our powers some downtime

>>2198162
>>C. Dive out of the way and try to get to his restraining gun

>>2198191
My thoughts exactly. He seems to be on his last legs as it is, pun unintended.

Oh whoops, sorry. I'm multitasking. I'm just dumb.

>>2198246
Wait, that's not me. Someone else's bad.

>>2198173
Your head's still aching after what just happened. It seems like a good time to give the mind some rest and let the body take charge. You dive forward, letting the spit fly over you and hit the ground where you'd been standing. Picking yourself up, you begin to run down the hill toward Fang. He sends another glob of spit right at you, and you duck down, just barely avoiding being hit.

You keep running for Fang, who spits again, this time aiming in front of you. You jump, going right over the spit as it hits the ground you would have been standing on. You're about halfway down the hill now, and Fang does not seem happy. He spits at you again, this time nearly catching you in the chest. You throw your upper body back and bend your knees, letting the spit fly over you before you push yourself back up into a standing position and keep going, still not sure how you even thought to do that, and how you're able to react so quickly. You can probably chalk it up to your training paying off.

Fang, deciding that things aren't working out for him, turns his back to you and looks for his guns, finding the restraining gun quickly but choosing to ignore it. Instead, spotting the laser gun, he begins to run for it.

>A. Run as fast as you can while his back's turned, hit him before he can shoot you!

>B. Psychic Punch him in the back of the head and keep going for the restraining gun

>C. Stop and get ready to shield yourself

Amnesia Diary: Today I discovered I have ninja skills. Probably from the HIVE.

>>2198265
>>D. Get angry and try to psychically hold him in place
I imagine psychic punching him in the head only brings him closer to the other gun, even if he might not have the mental cognizance to aim properly the first few seconds.

>>2198276
He wants to run for his laser gun? Fine, but you're going for his restraining gun. Without that punk spitting at you every two seconds, you're able to make it to the bottom of the hill within a few seconds. In that time, Fang has just about reached his laser gun. You move as fast as your legs will carry you, reaching the gun and picking it up, only to stand and find Fang aiming his laser gun at you.

"End of the line, kid," he tells you, finger on the trigger.

>A. Try and shoot first

The last time we tried to block the laser we got knocked on our asses which will probably give him time to fire again

>>2198354
You don't feel confident that you can fire first, and even if you could, he might still have a chance to fire at you. You can try to get out of the way, but you aren't sure you'd make it at this close of a range. You could try to hit him with a psychic attack then fire, but your head's still hurting from pulling that less than a minute ago, and you almost lost control then. You could create a barrier, but the last time you did that, you were knocked right on your butt. Oh well, barriers are easier for you to control than attacks (so long as you're making small ones, anyway), and even if you get knocked down, you can still return fire.

As Fang pulls the trigger, you bring up a barrier, which stops the laser from going through you, but still shatters with the impact, and you're thrown to the ground once again. But, in that moment, you full the trigger on your own gun, and silky strands shoot for Fang, wrapping him in what looks like a giant cocoon. You see it move as he squirms to free himself, but it doesn't look like he's going anywhere.

Exhaustion washes over you, and you lay your head back, dropping the gun and just lying there for a minute. You could honestly take a nap right here and now.

We've got a fucking job to do, no way are we going to sleep.

>>2198522
Hell yeah.

Btw, MoG, I enjoyed this encounter. Despite Fang being something of a goof villain, one on one against a rookie hero, he felt threatening, and the fight dangerous.

>>2198529
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that.

>>2198491
There's no time for a nap. You've got a job to do.

After making yourself sit back up, you pull out your communicator, using it to contact the five other communicators of Titans in this city. Of course, only Raven, Robin, and Starfire answer, as Beast Boy and Cyborg are still likely cocooned somewhere. You inform them of what's happened; how it looks like Fang was behind this, or at least involved, and how you captured him.

"Nice work," Robin tells you, smiling for a moment. "Has Killer Moth fixed the signal tower yet?"

"Yes," the mothman in question confirms, walking to a spot where he can be seen on your communicator. "I need to return home and send out the signal."

"Hurry," Robin tells him. "We're not having much luck holding back the moths."

"I expected as much," Killer Moth admits, and you think you detect some pride in his tone. "I'm going now."

Killer Moth takes off, leaving you on the line with the others. You can see Starfire hurling bolts at a moth to stop it from eating an ice-cream truck, Raven pushing one back with a psychic blast, keeping it from busting in to a clothing store, and Robin hurling some disks as one passes overhead.

"Alright, I want you to search the island for Beast Boy and Cyborg," Robin instructs, ducking down as a massive shadow swoops over him. "The three of us will hold the line until Killer Moth can call these things back."

"Oh, I do hope that Beast Boy and Cyborg are unharmed," Starfire comments as she seems to take to the air.

"They're alive," Raven points out, her free hand glowing with magic. "Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll have knocked some sense into Beast Boy."

"They're alive," Robin says. "But I doubt they're enjoying being cocooned. Try and find them as quickly as possible, we'll join you soon. Robin out."

Robin ends his signal, and after wishing you luck, Starfire does the same. Raven gives you a "later" before ending hers. Now alone aside from a peeved criminal stuck in a cocoon, you begin your search.

Now, where to look.

>A. Near the cage itself

>B. Look for some high places that would have given the two of them a good place to spy from

>C. Circle the perimeter of the island, see if you can find any signs.

>D. Demand Fang tell you where they are

Starting close then spiralling out seems like a decent start.

I would say this would be the perfect time to try and mind rape fang for info but the i remembered we don't know how to do that.

>>2198595
>>Piece together Fang's situation with Kitten, understand his feelings without condoning or condemning, commiserate by sharing your own circumstances, and ask him to help you out.

Its a bit of a hail mary, but hey, might be fun.

And maybe we discover a new power by displaying compassion

>>2198595
A.
>>2198633
Speaking of, when are we gonna meet Kitten?

>>2198674
When Mr. Moth tries to set us up with her, as we are a good dude.

>>2198607
>>2198618
There's a whole island to cover, but starting near the center (the cage) and spiraling out from there seems like a good enough strategy to begin your search. Even if you can't find your friends on your own, the others will be here soon enough to lend you a hand. Leaving Fang cocooned where he is, you make your way to the ruined cage. You wonder what's going to happen once Killer Moth calls the giant moths back. Maybe the signal can keep broadcasting so they don't go anywhere until he repairs the cage? You don't know. You trust that he knows what he's doing.

Circling the cage, you do find footprints, but only a single set, and they look like they were created by tiny, pointy feet. You're going to go out on a limb and say Fang left those. You don't see any signs of Cyborg or Beast Boy, so you keep moving, spreading your search.

When you approach one of the hills surrounding the cage, you can faintly hear what sounds like voices. Rushing toward the sounds, you find two figures wrapped in cocoons, squirming and shouting to get free.

Okay, you found them, now how are you going to free them?

>A. Try tugging on the cocoon from the outside

>B. Find a sharp stone or something to try and cut them free

>C. Don't try yet. You found them, when the other Titans arrive, someone will be able to cut them free.

>>2198697
Reassure our friends.

>>2198697
This.

>>2198730
I didn't say it was a good idea. Maybe Mr. Moth will realize the best thing he can do to repay us is make sure we never meet his daughter.

>>2198741
Let's just see how introductions go first.

>>2198697
>>2198699
Maybe you can cut them free. You begin looking for a sharp stone, or really anything you could use to cut through that silk your friends are wrapped in. As you search, and they continue to squirm and scream, you realize it would probably be a good idea to reassure them a bit, calm them down.

"Guys, I'm here," you tell them as you continue to look around. "Fang's been caught, and everything's going to be okay. I'm going to try and cut you guys out."

You hear some muffled, confused sounds come from the cocoons for a second before they go silent, and let you search in piece. Eventually, you do find a sharp enough rock, and cut Beast Boy free from his cocoon. The green-skinned Titan does some stretches, then transforms into a Velociraptor, helping you cut Cyborg free.

"So, what was that about Fang?" Cyborg asks as he peels some stubborn strands off his armor. "Is he working with Killer Moth?"

"Just the opposite," you tell him. "He's the one that did that to you."

"But that cocoon gun's totally one of Killer Moth's weapons!" Beast Boy insists. "Why would Fang have it?!"

"My guess is he stole it," Cyborg answers, and you tell him that you're thinking the same thing.

You run them through the rest of what happened, and are just finishing up your story when you spot dozens of massive shapes approaching from over the horizon. Sure enough, as they come closer, you see that they're Killer Moth's pet moths, returning home at their "father's" call. The gigantic insects all land in various parts of the island, mostly near the signal tower. As the minutes pass, some stragglers come and join the group, and pretty soon the island is covered in giant moths.

The other Titans arrive shortly thereafter, with Starfire immediately expressing her great joy at seeing everyone unharmed. Killer Moth makes it back not long after that.

"Thank you, Titans," he says, the words sounding like they're foreign to him. "Especially you, Kid Crimson."

>>A. "Glad to help."

>>B. "Any idea why Fang would do something like this?"

>>C. "What are you going to do about the cage?"

I can't remember if this has already been mentioned, but it's funny how our name is Kid Crimson when Brother Blood is our 'mentor', making for a matching theme.

>>2198795
>>B. "Any idea why Fang would do something like this?"

>>2198795
>>A. "Glad to help."

A and B.

>A

Its good to have some gadgets in case of emergency.

>>2198813
It actually happened partially by mistake. I misread the first thread (which I wasn't present for), and mistook the red aura to be ours, not Brother Blood's, especially in light of our barrier being colored.

I made a joke about having a red-themed hero name until we understood our powers better, and MoG fed us a red luchador mask via Beastboy.

In-game Peter has an excuse for having the name, but the Titans did give us some curious looks.

>>2198827
If anything, IC we can chalk it up as some lingering mental programming/bleedthrough by Blood. We're seeing illusions of the guy, it'd make sense.

>>2198832
Absolutely. My point is that due to poor reading comprehension, we wound up with a name that ended up being more appropriate than originally intended.

Also

>>2198813
The Titans are our Mentor, Anon. Clearly.

>>2198809
"Glad to help," you tell Killer Moth.

Truthfully, you do feel really good right now. You may be exhausted, and have a couple of scrapes, but you did something incredible. You beat the bad guy and saved the day. More than that, you proved that you can stand with the city's heroes.

"Any idea why Fang would do something like this?" you question.

"That outburst we heard from Kitten seems like it paints a clear picture; relationship trouble," Raven suggests.

"Perhaps," Killer Moth acknowledges. "Fang and I have never seen eye-to-eye, especially since I gave up villainy and started spending more time with Kitten."

"So that's it," Robin guesses. "Jealousy."

"Kind of weird having Kitten not be the one to go crazy over something small, huh?" Beast Boy asks, earning a look from Killer Moth that keeps him from saying anything else.

"Well, we caught Fang and the moths are home, but what about your cage?" Cyborg asks. "It's not exactly in great shape."

Killer Moth looks at the mess Fang made. "I can fix it."

"I'll lend a hand," Cyborg volunteers. "The two of us should be able to knock this out before too long."

"And the damage to the city?" Starfire asks.

"Jump City's seen much worse," Robin assures her.

"And besides," Beast Boy adds. "We got them back pretty quickly, right?"

"What do you mean 'we'?" Raven asks.

"Anyway, I think everyone's earned some rest," Robin announces. "What do you all say we head back to the tower?"

That sounds wonderful right about now.

"I'm gonna stick around here for now," Cyborg informs Robin. "I'll be back later."

"But do we not have Pe-Kid Crimson's initiation to attend to?" Starfire asks.

Robin smirks. "That can wait until tomorrow. Besides, I think he's going to need some rest before we put him through that."

Suddenly, you're less excited to get home.

>To be continued

And that's where we'll leave off for tonight. Thank you all for playing, I hope you had a good time.

As always, feedback is appreciated, and I will be lurking.

>>2198905
This was a fun session. Like it's already been said, you really sold Fang has a credible threat to a noob hero, and I'm excited to see how things go from here on out.

>>2198905
Is the killer moth business settled?

>>2198905
Thanks for running MoG.

Any idea when you'll run next?

Inb4 initiation includes Batman beating us up as a final test or something.

>>2198912
Probably Thursday night

>>2198911
More or less. He and Cyborg are going to fix the cage, and Fang's going to jail.

>>2198910
Thank you, I'm very happy to hear that.

>>2198915
>Implying Robin would let Batman have any involvement in building his team

>>2198905
Behind the scenes question: How much of this arc did you have planned out, and how much of it was on the fly? Which parts were which?

>>2198945
The overall plot of the Moth business was planned before the quest started, the character's connection to Blood was planned but altered a bit as time progressed. A lot of the stuff in the tower was just on the fly.

>>2198950
Stuff has changed already? Neat.

>>2198905
Thanks for the run. And once again great session.

>>2198954
Well, it's a pretty major part of the story, and only so much can be planned in advance with a quest. As things got started and I got to see some of what worked/made sense and what didn't, I adapted things accordingly. I'm sure there will be things that will continue to change.

>>2198956
Thank you for playing

>>2198950
Can you work a pastebin with the opinion of our teamates about us?

>>2198975
Not sure about that, but I can tell you that they generally have positive opinions about you

>>2198926
Forgot this was Dick going off on his own. Looks like he'll just have to beat the hell out of us for initiation then.

>>2198982
Oh, you'll wish that's what they did to you

>>2198975
Mr. Moth thinks we're the bees knees. the moth's cloths?

>>2198982
Initiation involves a pink wig, a rubber chicken and a pink dress. Given that MoG described Peter as being slim and of average height, and that our physical fitness seems pretty good, we're probably going to look hot as fuck.

>>2198988
At least it's better than H.I.V.E. initiation

>>2198987
>>2198988
Speaking of which, MoG, how hot is Peter?

>>2198995
He'd be considered fairly attractive

>>2198988
Like Cyborg from when he went into HIVE? I appreciate sticking to the source material, this will be great.

>>2198999
I was just goofing, I'm not MoG. Its up to him(?) if we go by canon. It'd be funny if we do fill out that dress well and make the Titan's more uncomfortable than they intended to make us.

>>2198997
Nice.

Incidentally, will we have any form of income? Maybe a stipend? We're really not in a position to get a job, and it might be nice to get clothes other than a blue t-shirt, black sweatpants, and a red luchador mask that smells like Beastboy.

>>2199008
You will be given a stipend

>>2199022
Final thought of the night: I'd like to see the Titans approach us and initiate conversations more frequently when we return to Titans Tower.

>>2199292
Noted

>>2199806
Hey MoG, are there any hero teams operating beside the league and TT?

Robin travels back home with Starfire, while Raven transports you and Beast Boy via her magic, coming to a stop just outside of the tower, and saying a quick "goodnight" before going inside, looking like she could pass out at any given second. You understand the feeling, that's for sure. You were ready to just take a nap on that moth-infested island not long ago, so going to your nice, warm bed just sounds heavenly right about now.

"Night dude," Beast Boy tells you after getting one good look at your face. "Make sure you get some rest, because tomorrow's not going to be easy."

Right, your initiation. You feel nervous about that from how the others have been talking, but you're really too exhausted to dwell on it too much. You'll just have to deal with it tomorrow. And besides, it's nothing you can't handle, right? You just beat a villain on your own and helped save the city. This initiation thing should be a piece of cake.

As soon as you reach your room, you face-plant into the bed and drift off immediately, falling into a deep sleep that is interrupted all-too soon by a knock on your door. Your eyes reluctantly open at the sound, and you turn over to look at your clock. It's only 6:30 in the morning. The knocking continues as you sit up and stretch, yawning.

"Dude," you can hear someone whisper. "Open up."

Okay, you're ninety-nine percent sure that's Beast Boy, and you're wondering what exactly he's doing at your door this early. Whatever it is, he's clearly gotten impatient for it, and opens your door on his own, slipping inside and closing it behind him.

For some reason, he's wearing a ninja costume, and looking around as if he expects enemies to strike at any moment. How bad is this initiation thing going to be.

"Alright, we've gotta make this quick," he tells you in a conspiratory whisper. "They're going to come for you at eight, you should get showered and make sure you're awake by then. Whatever you do, stay out of the main room, and don't let them see you wandering the halls."

>>A. "Okay, what is this, Beast Boy? What's going to happen?"

>>B. "I think I'll just sleep until they come get me."

>>C. "What's with the disguise?"

>>D. "Are you supposed to be warning me about this?"

>>2200421
"Are you supposed to be warning me about this?" you ask your green friend.

"No," he answers, continuing to look around for an ambush that never comes. "That's why I'm in a disguise."

You're tempted to ask him why he would bother with a disguise. Everyone in the tower appears distinctly different from each other, and aside from Robin, you can't really picture any of the others having a ninja costume. Well, whatever makes him feel safe, and gets him here to warn you, you guess you should just feel grateful. And, you guess you should probably follow his advice. After all, he had to go through initiation too, right?

"Alright, I better scram before the others find out I'm here," Beast Boy tells you. "Good luck, dude."

With that, he opens the door, shape-shifts into a fly, and buzzes off, leaving you to do what you will until the hour of reckoning comes. You decide it's probably a good idea to do as he said, and get yourself showered and awake. You hit the showers, come back and get dressed, run through your breathing exercises, and pretty much just sit around for the next hour until someone else knocks on your door.

Everyone is treating this initiation like it is something unpleasant, but if Peter seems like he is sneaking around or something he will come across like Brother Blood's sleeper agent. We can afford a little embarrassment.

>>2200492
>>2200511
Okay, A wins

>>2200492
>>2200511
There's no sense in delaying the inevitable. Sure, you could try to hide, but they'd find you. You could try to run, but they'd catch you. You could try to beg for mercy, but they'd deny you. All you can do now is face the music.

Opening the door, you find both Cyborg and Robin standing in the hall, each of them wearing grins that terrify you far more than that spider-headed freak that you fought yesterday. You find yourself accidentally creating a shield in your doorway, and need a minute to calm yourself before it disappears. For their part, the other two Titans lose the creepy grins, so you guess that's something. Once the shield is gone, though, they step into the room, and shut the door.

"Peter, it's time," Robin announces grimly.

"I hope you're ready," Cyborg says in a similar tone.

Okay, keep calm, Peter, you'll be okay, you'll be okay, you'll be-what on Earth is that?!

From behind his back, Robin pulls a short, pink tutu, which looks like it would be small on someone half your age. Cyborg produces a pink wig obviously meant for a girl, as well as a rubber chicken. The wig and tutu are shoved into your arms, and the chicken is placed on your dresser.

"Put these on and meet us in the living room," Robin instructs, heading for the door.

"You've got ten minutes," Cyborg adds before following.

Oh man, I support that.

>>2200661
>>2200653
>>2200655
"Wait! What's the chicken for?!" you call after them as they leave.

Neither one so much as looks back at you, so you're simply left to wonder. Ten minutes is your time limit. You'd better get started.

The tutu, by some miracle, manages to fit. Well, "fit" might be a strong word, but you're able to have it cover your private areas without tearing, so you guess that's as much as you can hope for. It's still a pain in the butt to get on, and you spend nearly eight minutes getting that stupid thing on your body and adjusted so it stops giving you wedgies. Luckily, the wig is easy to put on, so you get that done quickly. You're still not sure what the chicken is for, but you decide to bring it with you, as it most likely serves a purpose. A quick glance at the mirror reveals how ridiculous you look, and you can tell this is going to be an embarrassing experience. At least, if you let it.

By the time you work up your nerve and make it to the door to the living room, your time is nearly up. Taking a deep breath, you step forward into the room, finding your "friends"all waiting for you, some with cameras.

You also notice that there's a banner hanging over the room, with the words "Welcome to the Team!" written on it. There's also a small feast spread out on the tables and counter, and it looks like the game station is fired up and ready to go. Stereos are set up, and it looks like one heck of a party's about to begin.

>>2200746
Are you saying you want to throw kisses at them or something?

>>2200753
I leave it open to interpertation. Not taking it too far, just enough to fluster them and give the girls (and Beastboy since he tried to help us out) a laugh.

>>2200753
>>2200735
Well, they clearly wanted a show, so you're going to strut your stuff. You saunter right in as the guys snap pictures of you, and even stop to strike a few poses while they do. Starfire seems to find this delightful, and claps for you while giggling with happiness and excitement. The guys seem taken aback after a few moments, which seems to amuse Raven far more than your appearance. You do what you can to mess with the guys a bit, walking up to Robin and Beast Boy, throwing your arms around their shoulders, and asking how you look.

Beast Boy looks freaked out, but Robin sort of laughs it off, joking that the look suits you. Raven tells you that you look "marvelous" and seems to be in a total state of good humor. You're having a good time, too, until you find out you have to eat the chicken.

It's not a pleasant experience, and you aren't really even sure how you managed it, but once you've succeeded in eating the rubber chicken, everyone comes up, claps you on the back, and welcomes you to the team (save Raven, who just gives you a thumb's up). Then, the party begins.

Well, you did it. You're officially an initiated member of the Teen Titans. There's really only one thing to do after an accomplishment like this; play some video games. You take a seat on the couch, and are quickly joined be Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire in a game of Slammin' Simian Showdown. What follows is a four-way battle between apes that fills your inner caveman with pride. Cyborg manages to get the coconut gun within the first minute, but Starfire manages to sneak attack and eliminate him while he's busy pummeling Beast Boy.

Robin yanks away Cyborg's controller, sitting down to wait for the next match. Beast Boy finds some explosives and starts spamming them, throwing them all around the map while you and Starfire look for cover. In the chaos, Starfire manages to take advantage and knock you out of the game as well. Luckily, Raven doesn't take your controller. The match goes on until Starfire's luck runs out, and she's eliminated by Beast Boy's barrage of bombs.

The next match sees Beast Boy going right for Starfire, which leaves him really open for you and Robin to take him out within the first two minutes. Then, it turns into a three-way fight in which you manage to knock out Starfire, only to be blasted off the stage by a Pineapple Bazooka.

Cyborg swipes Beast Boy's controller, and jumps back into the game.

You're hungry, so you hand your controller over to Beast Boy and go to get some food. There's no shortage of options for you to choose from; sandwiches of every variety, including those special ones made by Cyborg that you remember being delicious. There's cheese-steaks, pizzas, hot wings, chicken nuggets, for some reason several bottles of mustard, chips, pretzels, popcorn, candy, salads, and several tofu dishes. Honestly, there's so much delicious food to choose from that you grab several different kinds, deciding to pig out now and endure the stomach pains tomorrow.

You fix yourself a large plate and begin to dig in, savoring the delicious foods that you consume. Laughter and shouts result in you looking over at the others as they continue their matches. This time, Cyborg comes out on top, prompting Robin to kick his butt hard next match.

"So, was initiation as bad as you thought it'd be?" Raven asks, walking over to grab a piece of pizza and make herself a salad. "You handled it a lot better than I did, or really anyone else besides maybe Starfire."

"I was really embarrassed," you admit. "I just didn't want to show it."

"Well, you did a good job," Raven compliments, one eyebrow cocked slightly. "None of us could tell. It looks like you're getting a lot better at controlling your emotions."

She's right. What you managed yesterday against Fang? You know that you never would have been able to do that when you first started out. Your power would have run rampant, and you would have done more damage than that freak ever could. You've already come a long way in such a relatively short period of time. A lot of that is due to your own hard work, but you'd either be lying or delusional not to think that your friends played a great role in that as well, particularly Raven. You owe her, you owe all of them a lot.

Hold on, you just thought of something.

"Wait, how did your initiation go?"

Raven's cheeks redden, and she lowers her head, magically pulling her hood up to obscure her face as much as possible.

"I don't want to talk about it," she answers in a mortified tone.

That says plenty, though. You can imagine that she was quite embarrassed, especially if the others were taking pictures. Maybe that's why the others seem afraid to make Raven mad? She might have had a little outburst that day.

After a moment, she pulls her hood back down, and takes a bite of her pizza, her normal, neutral expression on her face.

>>A. "Listen, thank you for everything. I couldn't have made this kind of progress without you."

>>B. "So, how come you're not playing videogames? Are they just not playing one you like?"

>C. Head back to the couch and join back in

>D. "Hey, wanna go spar?"

>E. "Hey guys, who wants to watch a movie?"

>/>>F. Write-in

Please no more thanking, I think we already told her how grateful we are like three times in two days along with the rest of the Titans.
At this point enough's enough, I don't want our thing to be being oh so thankful and having to tell everyone about it every chance we get, it's as bad as the type of character that's always apologizing.
And writing in "you're my hero" on top of it?
Guys, tone it down a bit.

>>2201060
You make a fair point, but I'm kind of sappy, and it feels like a good moment. We can tone it down afterward.

>>2201040
>A. "Listen, thank you for everything. I couldn't have made this kind of progress without you."

"Listen," you tell her. "Thank you for everything. I cou-"

Raven holds up a hand. "Peter, you've thanked me for helping you enough times already. I know you're grateful, and I am glad to to have helped."

Okay, note to self, stop thanking Raven so much for that. Well, at least she knows you appreciate what she's done, and it's nice knowing that it wasn't any major burden on her. She's not upset with you for asking for her help so often, she just wants you to lay off the thanks a bit. You think you can do that for her.

"So, how come you're not playing video games?" you ask, changing the subject. "Are they just not playing one you like?"

"Video games aren't really my thing," she answers, taking another bite of her pizza. "But, to each their own; everyone else seems to enjoy them."

"Oh yeah, in your faces!" you hear Robin shout.

Looking over, you see him dancing around with the controller in his hands, while the other three glare at him. He's in for a beating next round, that's for sure.

"So, what sort of things do you like to do?" you ask, turning your attention back to Raven.

"Reading and meditation, mostly," she answers. "I play chess with Cyborg sometimes. As far as games, that's probably my favorite."

Yeah, those all fit with her.

"What about you?" she asks. "Do you do anything besides train?"

>>A. "I just kind of like hanging out with everybody. Movies, videogames, dinner, the company's good enough for me to have fun pretty much no matter what we're doing."

>>B. "Napping."

>>C. "I honestly can't remember the things I used to enjoy. So, I've kind of just been focusing on getting my powers under control so I can help you guys protect the city."

>>D. "I like competitions."

>/>>E. Write-in

Let's be real, we haven't backed out of a single challenge, and if we get fired up enough we forget to think about the consequences.

>>2201135

Bringing back the prog rock.

Have you heard Psychosocial Baby?

That said clearly our choice of the name Kid Crimson was us subconsciously tapping into our love of prog rock. Maybe we even know how to play an instrument or two.

Anybody object to me combining competitions and music?

>>2201215
Not at all.

I figure he's kind of groping for answers and going with what he's put together.

>>2201215
I don't see why not

>>2201215
As long as we're still musically inclined I'm good

>>2201215
Kinda like it. Wonder if we still had/have competition inside the Hive.

>>2201228
Should we be competetive about music in what way? Best instrument player or best singer?

>>2201233
I'm sure there's some intersection between the two, but I like to imagine that Peter just gets pure joy out of music too.

>>2201215
That's fine.

>>2201233
You're looking at it the wrong way, we aren't competitive about music, we are simply competitive, we don't back down from any challenge, if it happens to be music related is inconsequential
If someone challenges us to a rock off? Hell yeah we won't back down or OH YOU THINK I DON'T HAVE THE RANGE TO NAIL THIS? https://youtu.be/fA4mVS0u_uo
Otherwise we'll gladly just talk music or chill with some tunes.

"I like competitions," you tell her, sort of as a realization as well.

You hadn't really thought about it, but you've yet to back down from a challenge since you woke that day in the hands of Brother Blood. Whether it be poorly-thought-out eating contests, video games, sparring, improving your powers, facing off against criminals, you've always faced it, pushing yourself to emerge victorious. It hasn't always gone your way, but you've never failed to make the effort, and the victories you've achieved have been sweet indeed.

"And...." you hadn't really thought about this, but you get the feeling that it's true. "I think I like music?"

"Well, those aren't bad things," Raven tells you. "Glad to see you have at least one interest other than competing with people, though."

She looks toward the couch, where Cyborg is now dancing victoriously, prompting Beast Boy to jump onto his back and try to wrestle him to the ground. Of course, this just results in Beast Boy being flung halfway across the room.

Sighing, Raven reaches out and uses her powers to catch Beast Boy and put him down (somewhat) gently.

"Thanks!" he tells her, giving a thumbs up before rushing back to the games.

Raven shakes her head. "So, why are you sitting this one out?"

>>A. "I was hungry."

>>B. "I was getting bored."

>>C. "I wanted to let them enjoy themselves for a bit before I crushed them."

>D. Finish eating and go join the others

>E. Ask Raven if she'd like to play chess

>F. Ask everyone if they'd like to watch a movie

>>G. "Hey, guys, the food's gonna get cold if you don't eat it soon."

>H. Head back to your room

>>2201260
>>A. "I was hungry."
>>G. "Hey, guys, the food's gonna get cold if you don't eat it soon."
