On the Rooftops Looking Down (Open)

[Terra]

Time: Monday, 3:15PM

As Terra stood, she looked down from high up on the rooftops of this highschool where she watched the students leave campus after an eight hour day of school. At once, that was the life she had anticipated. A good education with quite a bit of athletics, followed by college, a home, and perhaps even a family. However, she could clearly see now that that wasn't going to happen for her.

Not long ago, she had thought she finally found a place where she could feel at home, however they had betrayed her as well. "No one can understand me," Terra said outloud. She sighed momentarily as she looked upon those students with envy. A teardrop leaked from her right eye as she collected her thoughts, but she soon wiped it dry and refused to let any more fall.

[Anubis]

"Oh really?" Anubis said, taking the guise of a small jackal. Being part god usually helped with finding other people with superpowers. Up until just a few moments ago he'd been in his full Anubis form, but decided that might not be the most approachable form, so he'd decided to change himself a bit.

"I don't think you really have it that bad. I mean, a nice school, friends, superpowers..." he said, hoping that having a dog talk to her wasn't giving her a heart attack. Or does she think I'm some sort of wolf? Or perhaps I'm cute. Oh well, at least it's better than having her attack me while in the form of a big Dog-man-thing.

It was pretty late in the afternoon, Red X found himself wanting a daytime stroll- maybe steal some cash on the side, really who would catch him anyways? The Titans could barely fight him without teaming together and that was still a stretch... 'Kids need to up their game.' He thought with a mental chuckle as the elusive Thief jumped down on a lower building. Crouching his eyes widen curiously behind his mask as he noticed a blond girl sitting on the Highschool rooftops.

Getting a little close to her he smirked loving having the advantage in situations. "Being misunderstood isn't so bad blondie." Came X's sarcastic remark as he jumped down fully before standing at his full height. "It may just be the best thing there is." He said spoke coyly as he crossed his arms waiting for the girl's reaction, violent or not, it would still be fun. Quirking a brow towards the Jackal kid, he gave a questioning glance before speaking in a curious yet mocking tone. "And who are you dog boy? Related the Grass Stain perhaps?"

[Terra]

What th-?

Terra turned around seeing these two strange people having come to greet her from behind. They had been able to sneak up on her which was very creepy. She wondered how they had been drawn to her. Stalkers perhaps? Maybe they knew she was once a part of the Teen Titans? That was most likely the case, but for whatever reason they had searched for her, she had no interest in making deals with anyone right now if that was what they were after.

"I don't go to this school... I can't." She told the dog. After a couple of seconds, seeing a talking dog didn't even faze her, probably because she had seen a lot of strange things in her days, one of them being beast boy's ability to change into simiilar animals. However, Red X's words peeked her curiosity much more.

"And how would you know? Do you have bizarre powers that hurt everyone you love?"

[Anubis]

"Oh, I'm sorry. I simply assumed that you went here," Anubis said, surprised by her answer and by the arrival of Red X. He'd never seen him, though he knew of him through reputation. He began scratching behind his ear with his rear paw.

Aaaaah, that's nice. It's so much harder to scratch in my other forms, but so easy in this one. Aaaaah, he thought. But the other guy said something that made him stop. Grass Stain? I don't know a Grass Stain. Perhaps he means I have a stain on my fur.

"Uh, I don't know a Grass Stain. Do you mean I have one on me?" Anubis said, turning into his Anubian form so that he could stand a bit taller.

Red X mentally cringed, though his body (and mask) didn't show it. Nor did he show any outside appearance of said cringe, though he did and he did feel bad- despite what people may think of him- he has a heart- just a selfish heart, but still a heart. 'No time for feelin' down X' He mentally chided himself as he looked at Terra with a level stare. "Nope, have no powers to speak of- maybe that's why I find things interesting." He cupped his chin his hand as though thinking. "Though- I think I recall getting a crowbar to the head at one point..." The Thief mused before shrugging and turning slightly serious again.

"Anyway, you should let those things get to ya blondie- they'll only pull you down in the end." Turning to Anubis he gave a dismissive wave. "Nah you have nothin' on ya, I was- never mind." Spreading out his arms a bit as though inviting something X mentally smirked. "So- what are we all doing here this lovely afternoon, on a school roof?" Asked the mischievous Red X as he empathized his last two words, a joking tone in his voice, obviously trying to turn the somber mood into something more entertaining. Besides you can only be so depressing so long... unless you're like Batman- then well... Yeah.

[Terra]

Terra's interest was a bit peaked by what Red X had been about to say before he suddenly cut off. Perhaps there was more to him than met the eye. By his strange outfit at the very least, perhaps he too was a costumed super hero. She wasn't sure. Terra couldn't allow herself to become too worried about it however. If he wanted to keep stuff to himself than she had no right to inquiry.l

"I just came here." Terra answered Red X in a somewhat depressing voice. She herself didn't know why she had come here. Standing around watching was only making her more jealous. She felt much worse since she had come here.

[Anubis]

Anubis was tired of wearing this form. The two other two seemed to have developed their own conversation, so he figured why not sit back for a minute. Returning to human form, Alex sat back on his haunches. Red X did have a point in what he said though, Alex thought. Letting things bother you will only get you down. The more you let it get to you, the more down you get.

"I simply smelled the scent of a super-powered person up here. I came up here, and found you two," Alex replied. Not much more to it than that. Then he thought about how rude he was being, not introducing himself. He held out a hand to each of them. "By the way, my name's Alex, but my hero name is Anubis.[/grey]"

(Sorry for the wait, been busy x.x)

X mentally frowned as he listened to the Geomancer Terra. Geez talk about depressing... Deciding to hopefully cut through the dreary atmosphere Red X spoke up. "Yeah, we all end up somewhere but it's just how life is." Red X explained in a surprising sage-like tone... Quirking an eyebrow towards the mutants? God? Whatever. Anubis he shrugged. "Well you found one then, I have no powers to speak of- Terra here's the superhero." X explained as he jabbed a finger over to the moping girl.

"Anyway, as much as I would love to stay and chat I got things to- like steal and other Thief-like things ya know?" Giving a mock salute we turned around deciding not to teleport for once. "And Blondie! If ya need to get away some time just come and look for me! We'll hang out sometime and have a blast!" Rex X said with a chuckle before he jumped off the School roof and disappeared via teleporting. And with that the thief was gone....
