Chapter 3: A Psychic Cometh

Yasuki, muttering angrily about his pay and creepy lighting effects, slouched through the corridor back to the jail cell.

"Hey guys, I got some news. The show is-"

He stopped. The cages were all open, with the heroes nowhere in site. He immediatly paled, and ran out the door...right into Robin. All of the Titans were standing in the hallway, holding cups of coffee or soda cans.

"How the hell did you get out of your cages?" Yasuki screamed, his jaw dropping like a nuclear bomb.

"The janitor let us out!" said Cyborg.

"Yeah, and he gave us the key to the break room too!" said an elated Beast Boy.

That goddamn janitor. Never did trust him Yasuki thought. He shook his head and faced the teenage superheroes again. "All right, I won't lock you up again, but I have some news. I originally wanted you on a talk show to interview you on the life of a hero with no secret identities. However, the idea has ended."

"So we can go?" Cyborg asked.

"No. The CEO has changed it to a dare show!" the sullen Asian said.

"A dare show?" Raven muttered from under her hood.

"Exactly," said Yasuki. "Me an my new co-host will come up with a series of dares for you to do. If you refuse, you will be stripped naked and be shown on national television before being forced to do it anyways."

All of the Titans' jaws dropped farther than Yasuki's could ever go, and their eyes all grew diluted and faint. Cyborg's electronic sensor even seemed to dim a bit.

"I see you're all comfortable with the situation. I'm off to meet my new partner. See ya!" the host said, walking past the shocked superheroes. After ten seconds of walking, he found a plain brown door with CHSC on it. Who was four initials? Yasuki wondered, and he opened the door.

He got nothing more than a glimps of a very tall person putting on his pants before he was on the floor. He temporarily blacked out, and when he came to, he found a crystal blue eye two inches from his.

Screaming, Yasuki backed away at 20 mph, scooting across the floor on his butt until he smacked into a wall. Rubbing his head, he stood up. The new guy must have been sixteen, and was quite tall. In fact, he stood about 6'1. His eyes, as Yasuki saw quite clearly, were a bright, crystal blue, contrasting sharply with his messy mop of dark brown hair. He had finally put on a pair of black denim pants, and was also wearing a white sleaveless shirt, showing a lightly muscled frame. His handsome face curled in a light smirk.

"Nice entrance, my man!" he chuckled in a deep voice. He held a large hand out to Yasuki, who took it and was shocked as he was practically hurled to his feet by the giant, who must have been a foot taller than he.

"So," Yasuki said. "You must be the new guy. Exactly who are you?"

"My name is Cody Hunter Stewart Cromarty, almost William Cromarty III if my dad had his way," Yasuki's new partner said. "And, you are..."

"Yasuki Ayane Smith, partner!"

Cody's grin grew wider. "Ayane? Isn't that a girl's name?"

"Aw, shut it!" Yasuki shouted at him. "My parents thought I was a girl at first, but they didn't bother to change my middle name!"

Cody turned thoughtful. "They thought you were a girl. So that must mean you have a really small..." He trailed off, then the smile returned for a second, and he started laughing hysterically.

Yasuki bitterly turned out the door. "Come on, Laugho, we've got a show to run!"

Cody wiped a few tears from his eyes, and followed his diminutive co-host into the hall.

The show was about to begin.
