Air Hockey Horrors!!! (Kristoff then Open)

"I'm just trying to survive with my friend Akki," that's when I realized she wasn't with me, "Where did she go...?"

"Uh...who's Akki?" Riley really doesn't like it when people mention people like he's supposed to know them...but he doesn't...and this time wasn't any different! But, he decided to keep his cool for fear of what the Kris kid could do to him if they were on the opposite sides of the line of scrimmage.

"She is my friend, and that's all you need to know, at least until I trust you." I stared him down, I could tell he was annoyed with my cryptic answers, but what I said was true, I didn't trust him, not yet.

Riley shrugged. "Fair enough, I guess." Kris didn't have to tell him anything he didn't want to. They had just met each other like five minutes ago afterall.

"Have you heard of the Teen Titans?" Riley asked. That was the real reason why he had come to the heart of Jump. He'd heard of them and wanted to get a glimpse of some of them to really see what they were like. He knew that they lived in a nice tower and...Riley figured...it would be better than where he was now.

"I figured they might show up if I caused a little trouble...but I guess not..."

Riley looked out of the lobby, seeing little action to his disappointment. Maybe his little fights just didn't matter to the Titans...he wasn't important enough to get their attention?

"A bunch of do-goods, always ruining my fun. I can't even tap into their tower's energy without it shocking me." I grumbled, I'm not a bad guy, I just hated those holier-than-thou Titans.

"Huh, I just thought maybe..." Maybe the Titans weren't the heroes that Riley had heard about... But, Riley just started laughing. "Ha, I'd still like to see them in action I guess...have you ever brought them out by your antics?"

"Not really, but they safeguard anything, and if you were wanting to bring them out, you need something MUCH better than a fight." I grinned, maybe I could make him neutral like me, I always encourage people to have more fun.

Riley was intrigued by Kris' response. "How much bigger?" Scope asked, smiling. Maybe this Kris guy would be interested in helping him draw the famous Titans out?

I grinned, "A theft, and not just some small time popcorn theft, I mean we stick up a store! Force them to give us all there money, don't kill anyone, but maybe a bump here and a cut there for good measure." I was starting to like this idea more and more.

"Dang! ...Well....whoa..." Riley did want to meet the Titans...but he didn't know if he wanted to meet them like that! If he was sticking up a store...Riley had a feeling that the Titans wouldn't be much in the mood for talking...probably more in the mood for bloodying him up!

"Well, is there anything that we could do to draw them out without them wanting to bloody us up?" Riley was a confident guy, but, he wasn't stupid enough to take on an entire team of superhumans that spend most of the day practicing how to fight superhumans!

"You're no fun....." I thought for a little bit, and I came up with a plan that is meant as a joke. "Why don't we just knock on their door," I said very sarcastically.

Riley laughed at Kris' joke...but then thought for a moment... What could they do to them if he just knocked on the front door? I mean...all they could really do is say...get out! Y'know?

"Why don't I just knock on their front door? I mean, I know you don't really wanna join up...but they've got a warm place to stay!"

My jaw dropped, "You're serious? Well go ahead, if that's what you want," I laughed a little, This kid was honestly thinking of joining them.

"Psh! What's so wrong with a cozy place to chill!" Riley didn't want this kid to think he was a holier-than-thou do gooder..."Well, I could sneak you guys in too on occasion...Haven't you ever imagined what the inside of the Tower looks like? It must be a lot easier to suck some energy on the inside..."

"That actually sounds nice, beats the streets." I was starting to like Riley, he was pretty cool.
