The morning sun shone down on the Titans Tower, like a brand-new day was upon them.

Sam's clock went off, and he woke to the sun shining in his face.

Sam: Oh my... GOD! Blocks his face It's way too early...

Sam slowly rolls off the bed and onto the floor like a child. He took some time to change, as he had a very unique welcome yesterday. Once he finished, he walked out of his room and towards the lounge, where almost everyone else was.

Sam: Hope the food is good... Sits down on the couch

Jamie: It's pretty good.

Sam turns around to see Jamie behind the couch

Sam: Oh, morning, Jamie.

Jamie: How was your first night, man?

Sam: It wasn't bad, I guess... but it is better than jail.

Jamie: That is very true. 

Damien is then seen sitting down on the couch next to them.

Jamie: Good morning, Damien!

Damien: Morning, Jamie. 

Dick: Ok, everyone. Listen up!

Dick was up by the window in front of everyone else.

Dick: Some of you may know our development yesterday. For those who don't, we have a new Titan joining us. Sam here made the headline for stopping Luthor and saving the Man of Steel!

A few people applauded.

Sam: whispers Great, now I'm the popular guy...

Dick: Make sure you treat him as you would treat everyone else around you. Now for other things, after breakfast we'll be training downstairs and going on Patrol later on. I waited for the Patrol in their suits after breakfast before 10 am. That includes you, Garfield!

Garfield was sleeping on a chair in the back and bolted awake at the sound of his name.

Garfield: Wha, wha, what?

Dick: If there is nothing else, that'll be all. See you down there!

Everyone makes their way to the dining hall for breakfast. Sam was strolling behind to see how this group of enhanced individuals behaves and works.

After breakfast, everyone headed back to their rooms, put on their suits, and headed down to the Training Room.

Demi: This is a very spacious tower, you guys have. Damn...

Beetle: Yep. I still don't know all the rooms here.

Robin: It's so simple, Beetle. Every trained assassin must know their house.

Demi: Yeah, we know thumbs up

Beast Boy is then seen running through the doors

Beast Boy: I'm here! I'm not late, am I

Beetle: Oh, you missed everything! sarcasm

Demi starts fake laughing.

Beast Boy: VERY funny, Beetle!

Nightwing is then seen stepping up onto the leading platform.

Nightwing: Ok, everyone! Today, we'll be just facing off against holograms, as perhaps we can teach the new guy a thing or two. 

Robin: I think he's talking about you. (Looks at Demi)

Demi: Really?! I had no idea.

Nightwing: So, for that purpose, I'll be going first. Star, you can start it up!

Starfire was seen by a console. She pressed some of the buttons, which started up the platform's main programs. A few holograms showed up from projectors above.

Announcer: Ready... Set... Go!

Nightwing started handling the fake assassins one by one with his acrobatic and combat skills.

Demi: So... you two aren't related? (To Robin)

Robin: No. My father took dick in after his parents had an accident during a circus performance.

Demi: Ah... Good to know.

After 2 minutes, Nightwing finished with an almost perfect score. No one else on the team has been able to beat a higher score than Superboy's... yet.

Starfire: Excellent work, Nightwing. 

Nightwing: Thanks, hon. Ok, uh... Rave, you're up next!

Raven: Sure.

Raven levitated towards the platform. 

Announcer: Ready... Set... Go!

Raven started handling the holograms efficiently with her psychic powers.

Demi: What's her story?

Beetle: Trust me. You don't want to know. 

Robin: Besides, it's not our place to share with you. You'll have to ask her yourself.

Demi: Right...

Raven completed the time but got a score just lower than Superboy's.

Nightwing: Nice work, Raven! So close to perfection.

Raven levitates back down to meditate in the back.

Nightwing: Ok. Beast Boy! You're up!

One by one, each member went up and battled the holograms, but none were able to beat Superboy's score, who was up on the platform, about to surpass his original score. Meanwhile, Nightwing walked down to talk to Demi as he was up next.

Nightwing: Hey, how are you feeling?

Demi: Should I be... worried?

Nightwing: That depends, but don't worry about the score. Just focus on the problem in front of you, and you'll be fine.

Demi: Finally, some solid advice!

Superboy finished and, as predicted, beat his previous score.

Superboy: Woo! Let's go!

He quickly soars back down.

Superboy: I'm just undefeated at this point!

Nightwing: Hopefully not for long. Now, Demi, you're the last one!

Demi then walks up to the platform. He gives an ok hand sign that he is ready to start. Starfire then starts up the system.

Beetle: Imagine if he does beat the record, though...

Robin: I couldn't care less.

Superboy: What're you talking about? The odds are not that likely for a rookie!

Announcer: Ready... Set... Go!

The holograms started charging towards Demi. He quickly pulled out his sword and blocked one of their swords. Each slash was not only swift, but his technique was working in his favor. 

Starfire: Dick. Look at this! (Show him the readings on the console)

Nightwing: Whoa... He has some hidden talent...

Starfire: I've never seen someone use a sword like that! I'm getting strength parameters that are through the roof.

Raven opened her eyes, finally, to hear what the commotion was all about. She noticed Demi up there taking out the holograms and raising his score at a swift rate.

Beetle: He might do it!

Superboy: There's no way--

Robin: Quiet.

Just before the timer hit zero, Demi managed to throw his sword towards a hologram from above straight through it. The sword managed to be called back to his hand rather quickly. 

Demi: gasps I am baby Kratos!

He looked up at the score and was shocked to see that he beat Superboy's record just barely.

Demi: Yeah! That was awesome! Jumps off the platform

Nightwing: How... how did you do that?

Demi: Which part?

Nightwing: The whole thing!

Demi: Um... skill issue?

Everyone started bursting out in laughter, with Raven having a slight chuckle, and yet, they were all still quite shocked about the turn of events.

Nightwing: Well... great job, Demi. That's it for now, everyone! We'll be going on Patrol a bit, and be ready!

Everyone started making their way back to their rooms, still chatting about the whole incident. Demi, however, was unfazed by the score, but more towards his power when he got to his room.

Demi: Wow... Now I can't wait to get out there with this thing! Flips sword
