cyber_titan | Danny Chase Test Scene: At the Shelter

Vic Stone had seen far too many of these in his life, but that's what happens when you're a hero. And what was the most interesting was that, in the wake of what everyone was calling the Blackest Night, many of those who had died int eh attack were alive, and even a decent amount of the attackers as well. With him, Kory, and Gnarrk knocked with the rest of the Titans through Hypertime, but now the "Oh God we're not dead" parties are mostly over now it's time to get to work, trying to figure out those of their number that came back. And considering the large amount of dead Titans who were also orphans and shelter children, it would do good diligence to visit shelters looking for their own.

Plus every visit would not only bring media attention but several of the Titans who were independently wealthy would donate a good deal of money to support them. Win win, in Vics mind.

So there he was, the gleaming metal Titan himself, looking at the rickety door of a homeless shelter continuing his search for lost Titans.

He wasn't sure at first what he was seeing. It was someone who looked...well, looked a lot like someone he knew. He gave a smile and was about to turn away when the figure came closer. And...Vic knew he recognized the face. It had been so long, and yet there he was.

Danny Chase.

And he came up to Vic and shook his hand. It was the same prosthesis from before he had died which was odd considering how most of the resurrections happened, but it was him.

"Danny. How long have you been here?"

Danny smiled. "Less than a day. What brings you out and about?"

Danny looked around the room cautiously. "Is there something I should worry about?" Returning his gaze towards Cyborg.

"Well, yes and no. Kinda. Look, it's all kinds of complicated."

Cyborg tilts his head towards what he hopes was an empty room. This was a bit too...delicate to simply say around civilians.

"Once we got some privacy, we can talk shop."

"Okay..." Says Danny.

Danny looks to where Cyborg was glancing. A room primarily used for storage, but otherwise empty.

"This way," he says and starts towards the room. When he reaches the door he holds it open for Cyborg.

[Danny plans of following Cyborg into the room and closing the door after them so no one follows them.]

Once the door is closed, Cyborg is going to look at the young man ahead of him critically, as if trying to find some kind of mistake or flaw. After all, even with the mass resurrections that had happened, it's better to confirm it.

"Since the Blackest Night, there have been....well, there have been a whole hell of a lot of lives regained. Civilians, heroes, villains. Even folks who we didn't even remember right got a new lease on life. So, start from what was the first thing you remember after your-"

Vic catches himself. He almost just said death. Let's not dwell on that.

"-arrival here. Anything stick out? Anything weird?"

"No, nothing sticks out as abnormal. But I only arrived here yesterday morning. I rode by bus from Pittsburgh to here. Don't even really know why I chose here. It's like something was guiding my hand, maybe the Spirits of Azarath were leading me this way. And if they were, I still don't know why."

Danny looks straight into Cyborg's eyes. "Is there something that I should have noticed, but didn't? I know I was dead, and I know I'm alive now, feeling stronger than I've ever felt. This 'Blackest Night' thing, what did it do besides bring people back to life?"

Danny switches to Phantasm in the blink of an eye. "Is this what is needed? Just say the word and I'll follow. If not," and he switches back to his Danny Chase appearance, "I'm still at your command if you need me in another capacity."

"Well, no, I was just double checking that you ain't some shapechanger or evil clone or some kind of crap along those lines, but the whole Phantasm thing certainly proves a lot," Cyborg said, his smile bordering on a smirk.

Still the impetuous little kid he remembers.

"It didn't bring everyone back to life. All the folks who died during it did as far as we know, as well as a good deal more heroes and villains. Even when they've been dead for years."

"Sounds really confusing" Danny says. "So, where do we go from here? Are there other Titans in the area? And we should probably leave the storeroom soon, or someone is going to come investigate."

Danny looked up at Cyborg, wondering, 'Is this really happening? Am I finally going to get to work with the Titans because they actually want me? That would be a nice change of pace. And it would get me out of the homeless shelters I've been sleeping in.'
