Jump City had a reputation for trouble. Even though the teen Titans managed to crack down on most of it, they were only so many, and their powers only so strong. As such many petty criminals simply fell through the cracks the Titans couldn’t cover. Lately, a string of bum bashings had taken the town by storm. It was a senseless, mindless crime that left the participants humanity in question. So it was no wonder the police departments had suspected teenagers of the crime. It was a sad world, where violent acts and heartless extortion were as prevelent if not more so then charity and altruisitic action. Fortunately there was enough of the latter to make the life bearable. Tyler Gooden had been a marine several decades ago, but alcoholism and a certain mental disorder that made it next to impossible to find a job had left him destitute.
Rumors of the bum bashings had reached the ears of the homeless community and put the usually self loathing atmosphere into a state of dread and anticipation. Tyler stumbled into a trash bin in one of the many allys of Jump City’s dark side, a half empty bottle clasped in his dark hands. The tell tale thuds of footfalls echoed between the two brick buildings as a shadowy figure emerged. The homeless mans hands tightened against the bottle as he prepared to defend himself despite his inebriated state.
“Hey old man!” came a young voice. “What are you doing drinking in this crappy place” asked the same voice as a young man of Irish lineage emerged from the shadows. He wore a basic black t-shirt with a green and yellow track jacket over top. Nothing fancy but it suited his meager needs. The young man tossed the homeless man another beer as he hopped up onto the large trash dumpster nearby.
“Because your late, you cheap skate,” replyed Tyler, the remark causing the Teenagers face to burst into a wide cheerful smile.
“Well some of us can’t just sitting around waiting all day.” Came the boys snarky reply.
Tyler smiled a thin toothless smile as he tossed his now empty bottle into the street. “Its good to see you John, you get those key cards made up yet?” he asked moments before the street came alive with the sound of gunfire. The shots were a little ways off, a block or so away, and while it was a common occurance it remained startling none the less.
"Gangs again?" asked John foolishly.
"They weren't no girl scouts" came the sage like reply.

Sparrow was doing her nightly fly over the city, every now and then she caught a few people here and there. But everything seemed quiet as she flew above the city, until she heard gunfire! She landed near the gang group. "Alright come on can we stop the gunfire?" She asked as she was getting ready to shield herself if any of them shot at her.

Jade was just walking along when a few teens started bugging her about her face paint.Then one reached up and grabed her.His arm was now broeking in pieces and then they started shooting guns.
When Sparrow landed jade could not help but laugh.She then said.
Oh hello sneezey how are you on this wonderful day??

Doherty and his vagabond friend exited the ally cautiously. John always the inquisitive type was compelled to go find out the cause of the disturbance, Tyler was a bit more reluctant. The man had lived here for years, and he had survived specifically because he didn't stick his neck where it didn't belong.
"I thought you said they weren't girl scouts." Said John sarcastically as he pointed down the street at where the action was taking place. Tyler simply shrugged as he stuffed his hands in his tattered old green cotton jacket.
"Do they look familiar to you?" asked John as he cocked his head lsightly to the left like a confused puppy. He could have sworn he knew the flying one from somewhere.

"These girls are crazy!" said John as he began walking towards them. Despite the usual connotation of the term crazy John had a wide smile plastered goofily across his pale Irish face. "Hey!" he shouted at them, his smile gone as his standard carefree stride took on suprising authority, perhaps even a hint of intimidation. "What do you think your doing?" he asked angrily as he reached into his breast pocket.
Tyler far more intelligent then his college enrolled friend, hung back waiting to see what would happen.

Sparrow shook her head and smacked her forehead. "Shes a lunatic..." She sighed. "Now please...let me take care of my job!" She walked over to the ground and the placed a black orb around the gang. "I dont see how this keeps going on." She hissed

"Will you stop breaking people!" cried Doherty in exasperation as he pulled an object from his pocket. "Jump City Police, everyone drop your guns, and for the love of God will you stop that," he cried again as Jade lept on another gang member dislocating his joints.
"Did you attack this girl?" he asked one of the non broken boys.
"No, she jumped us, we were just defending ourselves," he said, obviously afraid of the girl moments before a black orb covered all of them.
"If you don't mind miss," said Doherty as he flipped placed his recently created badge back into his pocket where it promptly began to turn to dust. His powers only lasted so long, which while a limitation wasn't always a bad thing. "After we get these boys situated would mind if I took your statement?"

Now, despite Doherty's capacity for knowledge and his adequate if not vast intelligence, he overlooked a few major problems with impersonating an officer of the law. One of the most obvious being the fact that he was not in fact a police officer, and as such lacked the training, equipment and backup that came with that position. All he had wanted to do was get the Sparrow girls phone number, set up a date or to so he could get to know her. Granted his plan had been rater unnecessary, and illegal, and dishonest, but his intentions were good. Sort of.
Doherty cocked his head at her skeptically, wondering why exactly she was taking an aggressive stance when it dawned on him, and that sinking feeling in his let him know that he had crossed a boundry somewhere. "Sorry, I'd rather dance with her," he said as he nodded at Sparrow, moments before stepping behind her so as to put Sparrow between him and Jade.

Sparrow blinked..."Jade, ragdoll whatever your name is...just get outta here please? I have other things to worry about then you going around breaking people in half!" Black orbs went around sparrow's hands. She turned back to Doherty "Names Sparrow Roth, Occupation, Teen titan. just so ya know." She turned back to jade. "I dont wanna hurt you.."

Jade sat right down looking at Doherty as if she just be dumped.JAde then looked at him and said.
You'd rather dance with this do gooder wantabe??
She sat down and scratched her head as if she could not wrap her mind aorund what just happened.JAde then said.
I just attacked three armed men and i told you about my reacord.And you dont want to dance??
JAde just kind of stopp moveing.A tear could be seen rolling down her cheek.She then looked a long look at sparrow and said two words she never thought she would say ever.In a tone that was no insane or even evil or twisted in any way.
Is it because she's pretty??Or because i'm a carnie??
Jade then sat back down and looked as if she was thinking hard again holding her gym bag tightly.She then stood up and wlaked away quitly.
