Turns out you can go home again [Video]

[And there's Beastboy back in his room in Hospitown looking a little worn out but otherwise alright.]

Hey guys! I'm back! Sorry if Rita was freaking out...probably shoulda thought to call her.

So...are we done with that sleepwalking stuff? Because Chili hasn't sleptwalked since...well it was this whole thing. Like we went through a magic door and on the other side was this place called Star City, which is a city from my world! And more importantly? Titans Tower! It's my home! This totally awesome superhero base!

[He holds up a picture, he drew it with crayons. It looks like a T made out of blue boxes.]

Anyway there were a bunch of Digimon living there and wrecking the place so Jinora, Nima, Chili and I chased em out and...I've...well I've come home!

I couldn't go to my home so my home came to me. It's...it's mind blowing dudes.

Anyway, I need help. Techies, people who are good with fabrics, like repairing and cleaning them. Maybe someone who knows how to replace windows...

I wanna get this place fixed up. Maybe we can use it to keep the peace you know? Like the Titans used to back home. There's still alot of equipment there, big computers and stuff...and I dunno if any of Raven's spell books would work but we can give em a shot.

So...who wants to go on a field trip to Star City?

Other than being yanked through time and space by the seat of my proverbial pants and plopped in a strange world where I have a green, fuzzy moogle-bunny for a partner? Can't complain.

And the name's Axel. Got it memorized?

Dude sweet! We'll see you there soon!

Okay!

Probably, it's a short enough name. The long ones are harder to memorize.

I know what a bunny is but what's a moogle?

[With the ship moving Beastboy is thrown off balance but his partners steady him]

Oh...well basically like, a super hero is someone with totally awesome abilities, usually like, magic or you know, mutations, or maybe like super high tech stuff. But basically we put our butts on the line to protect people. We fight monsters and aliens and robots and mad scientists and anything that threatens peoples happiness and health.

I used to be able to turn into any animal I thought about. Then this world kinda took it away.

[Magic, mutations. Super high tech stuff. That's almost like the Asterisk holders of his world, actually. Minus the putting their butts on the line to protect people part.

...Well. Not like he's given it much thought, not here, but they thought they were protecting people. Most of them, anyway. He turns back to the rudder, still thinking.]

You're like her then, the angel. She would charge into anything with a list in her head of right and wrong, and the intent to punish those that made others suffer - something which she never held back about. Only she didn't exactly have the transforming part.

[More like a samurai sword. And Beastboy's occupation is good enough for him, anyway. He did something close to what Edea was doing.]

...Well, consider me on side, at least with repairs, if you'll have me. Unfortunately, my abilities got taken away as well, as you probably noticed when you and your partners dragged me away from eating dirt - so repairs are all I'm good for.

Oh. Also! If your answer is yes - I've been keeping a record of when the earthquakes happen. I'll need to leave when it does. I want to see who exactly arrives this time. It's a little habit. I shouldn't be gone that long.

[As soon as he's finished speaking, StarCity's right below them. That didn't take long at all!]

We're here. I'll dock at the cliffs.

((Yeah seriously XD It's so cute though))

Hey no problem dude. I rush over to see who the new kids are too when I can!

[He smiles with satisfaction at the sight of Star City below. It's not like Terminal Tokyo was, a mish mash of different buildings and architecture. Star City is quite clearly a place that came in one piece as it's skyline seems to flow together. Tall buildings made of steel and glass, modern roads of pavement. Of course the city has seen better days. Being placed in the world of Digimon will do that given their destructive power. Upon closer inspection through most the buildings are vacant. Only a few of the shops and stores are open with digimon milling about them.

Then on top of a hill at the edge of town the Tower can be seen. Tall and imposing, and clearly shaped like a T. Beastboy's eyes light up when he sees it.]

Homr sweet home.

[Star City's odd to him, to be frank. He's not seen much like it in his world, but he supposes that on some worlds, stone and mortar just isn't done. The tower though... Oh, he's certainly seen a few of those. So! Humming cheerfully, he docks the Eschalot at the cliffs, turning the engine off. There's no key. Nothing like that.

Out of the corner of his eye, he catches Beastboy's smile. It must be nice to see something of home. Airship disembarked, he moves his gloved hands to his pockets as he cheerfully starts walking into the town.]

I must say.. [He remarks, walking backwards for the moment to regard a Persiamon after she'd passed them, a rather devious smile coming from his features as she turns around and reddens.] This place is certainly more lively than HospiTown. Quite so, in fact.

[And he turns back around, with a hairflick as soon as the persiamon turns away. A hill! And just about by the time he's finished the coffee still in his hands, the tower. And a low whistle.]

Quite the building.

[Rita and Chili look puzzled at his behavior, they've never seen a human flirt with Digimon before. Beastboy however is all about love and love alike so he just rolls with it. When they reach the tower his grin broadens.]

Yep! Titans Tower, home to the superhero team The Teen Titans! We built it together with a little money from The Justice League and my family The Doom Patrol. The Tower's been wrecked a few times but we always put it back together again. I'm just not too technical so usually I just end up cleaning things and moving rubble and stuff.

[He leads them to the front door which has a card reader and a number pad, but both seem not to be functioning at the moment because the doors just slide open for them. Inside is a lobby that still shows signs of rough housing Digimon including claw marks, broken potted plants, tracked in mud and tossed about chairs and things. Chili looks unamused but since this is Rita's first time she's drinking it all in]

[The Doom Patrol. Now that was an interesting name. He seems somewhat intrigued by the card reader and moves close to it, but Beastboy's already inside. So! he follows, looking around. Well...]

...Can't say I wasn't warned. Tell me, is there anything you want repaired first? I'll admit, I'm quite unfamiliar with what all of this stuff even is, though I'll need a look at everything to see how it works. If you've any priority things which others require to be operational before they can be fixed, that'll likely save us both a lot of frustration.

[He considers it for a moment]

Well the elevator works...but I'd feel alot better about it if you looked it over to make sure we didn't just get lucky.

[He pushes a button and it lights up bringing the elevator to them.]

We have staircases too but the elevator is alot faster. Lemme take you to the garage so you can see where we keep most the mechanical parts and tools.

I guess not. Yang's the name. Nice to meet you Beastboy.

[Her eyes light up.]

You mean like...shopping? A store that sells more than just the essentials? You can so count me in for that!

Yeah! It's not super full yet but more stores are opening up every day it looks like!

Everyone likes a little therapy shopping right?

A moogle is...

[Axel has to actually pause a moment to think about how to describe a moogle to someone who's never seen one.]

Well, a moogle kinda looks like a white koala, but with a cat's ears and eyes that look permanently squinty. They've also got a pair of little purple bat wings that they can use to sort of hover around a bit; I guess it's technically flying, but I've never seen one get more than a few feet off the ground, so I wouldn't really call it that. They've also each got a little pink pom-pom attached to this... dingaly-bob on top of their head.

They've made a business out of synthesizing and selling items. Everything from potions, to weapons, to candles that don't burn down and can only be put out by magic, you name it, they can make it, long as they have the right materials. Far as I know, nobody else knows how they do it.

Edited 2014-03-14 02:36 (UTC)

Dude...I have no idea what sytha...whatever means. But a koala, cat, bat sounds amazing. Is it a Digimon?

Where did you get crayons from?

Also, isn't that shape a bit... I don't know, obvious?

[Yea, this is coming from Tony.]

Bought em from a store.

And...well yeah! Robin said we want our Tower to be an obvious target so it draws the villains to attack us instead of the city.

Were they out of, I don't know, pencils?

Experience tells me you only have to put your name on it for them to want to break it. Which really it's annoying, but hey, you make a point, paying to repair a tower is a lot cheaper than paying for repairs to most of New York.

What's wrong with crayons? They're colorful.

Yeah...we usually have to help with that too. We set up like a charity fund to raise money for city repairs. We do like...special appearances and sell merchandise and stuff for it.

Once we even had a televised race around the world between our super speedster team mates.

They don't have enough of a point on them for finer details and usually pick up the texture of whatever the paper's on top of.

[Yup, Tony knows some artistic things.]

Please tell me you're not out there doing ribbon cuttings at amalls and kissing babies.

...point.

Counterpoint? They are whimsical.

[Word of the day calender ftw]

Well not the kissing babies part, but I've cut a ribbon or two...the important thing was it helped fix the streets and buildings and stuff.

You claim to be a superhero, but you want more whimsy?

[He stares for a second.]

Acceptable reason, really.

I suppose that's the benefit of having your own company and foundation. I can just arrange for people to rebuild or raise money. Or just write a cheque.

[Oh the problems of the stupidly rich.]

[Grins proud that Tony agrees then looks puzzled]

Sheesh, when was the last time you had to buy anything on sale or discounted?

A little while before I came here? But that's because everyone thought I was dead and I only had what was in my wallet to work with.

I wasn't actually looking for them to be on sale, the gloves were on sale as I walked past, and I needed them to make something.
