In The Gray (Teen Titan/DC Fanfic)

Kevin Grant is a veteran from WW2... WW1, the War of 1812 & pretty much every other American conflict after 1812. He’s also kinda a dick. However something is brewing and Batman, Lex Luthor, and Ozymandias don’t know what. Grant’s brothers, consumed with their demonic powers, are looking for the Orb that has given them their curse. Also, guess what? Kevin’s been procrastinating on finding the stupid thing for two hundred years. Being turned down help from the Justice League Kevin is forced to his last resort: Raven. However, things don’t go according to plan because... let’s be honest: Kevin never has a plan. (Writing this as creative release I’m also taking creative liberties with writing. I may keep this as a serial that ends when it ends. Story arcs are strongly inspired by DC comics/Teen Titan comics as well as DC games and media. Kevin’s lack of care for triggers do not reflect the views of the author.) *** Arc 2 (cue classic narrator voice) After the deaths of two Titans, Deathstroke’s loved ones, and Black Adam’s family, things are amping up. Framed for the deaths of Osiris and Isis, the Titans, America and her allies are sworn enemies of Black Adam. The omnipotent tyrants rage is hotter than it has been in centuries and he is quickly pooling his allies and preparing for WW3. The Titans struggle to grieve their dead in the midst of all their responsibilities. They struggle to cope, and unlikely relationships bloom. Despite the spy in their midst. Deathstroke has a bone to pick with the world as well. After the death of his son at the perceived hand of the Titans he’s not an assassin for money at the moment. No, no this is personal. The only payment he’s taking is Vengeance, even if he has to form a team himself to do it. Kevin is still after the Heart and cancer-like tumors have shaped some of Gotham’s supervillains hideously. Does this have something to do with Raven’s cough and Ozymandias’ cancer and dreams? Read and find out! For any martial artist fans out there I TRY to go out of my way to develop ALMOST each character’s fighting style. Kevin uses a now forbidden Canadian style called combato. Dick Grayson uses a mix of Wing Chun, Arnis/Escrima and others of course. Batman uses a non-lethal Keysi as a foundation (he also used it in the 2008 movies). Deathstroke uses Krav Maga, LINE, Vale Tudo, Silat and Sambo. This is a bold challenge to do with justice but I will try my best. For any gun nuts, I went all out on gear and guns for Deathstoke’s scenes to give a little bit of some John Wick-style stuff thrown in. I post updates below so make sure to check from time to time! Without further ado: 05/05/23 Happy Cinco de Mayo~

Introduction

My name is Kevin Grant and this comedic epic of tradegy, family, superheroes and blah blah blah starts at the change of the century. You know, the one after the Revolution? You may know my distant cousin and his son, James and Ulysses Grant. Still can't believe they voted for that idiot after all the stuff his son was doing.

I've been around for a while and I gotta say…

The coffee in this dimension is wayyy better than it was two hundred years ago. Like, mother forgive, it's wayyy better. Oh sorry, I need to tell you my origin or something like that right?

Well this all started in fire. DC burning in 1812 to be more specific. My branch of the Grant family were volunteer militia of a sort. Defending our land annnnd we get our butts handed to us. The last thing I remember of my loving mother and sisters were their screams from the burning Colonial home we had built. The memory is hazy but after two hundred years it's hard to remember.

Did I establish burning? There's lots of burning.

So we're running right? Then we lose our… eh times were different then, but our "esteemed servant". We knew he wasn't deserting because we all almost lost each other. Long story short, we find him in this cave: dead.

So we check out the body and hey, he's holding onto the bloody palantír from Lord of the Rings. What? I fought with the dude who wrote that… kinda.

Anyways, that… thing started talking to us. Telling us promises of power and crap. Then we fell for it cuz we were idiots who like completely ignored my dear friend's dead as hell body. That's how I died… but I lived! Truth be told, the magic in that thing could hypnotize anyone. I found out after the fact how weak humans are compared to aliens from other planets who like to wear a giant 'S' on their uniforms.

After going through some, eh, "adjustments" my brothers and I were given powers from the orbs owner: Satan. After passing through hells of all sorts (there's more than one) I came back home sometime in the 1880's. It was tough but WW1 & WW2 were easy compared to the hells I've been trapped in for decades.

I was at the 1936 summer Olympics and let me just say: Hitler was a dick. Eva Braun was hot at the time though can't lie, sorry. Gosh darnit, let's just fast forward to when I get drafted into a team of women running around half naked and men running around in skin-tight condoms.
