~Dawn

.:Dawn:.

"So this is San Fran." Sparrow said glancing around at the city. The two of us stood there on the sidewalk, watching people go by. The sun was shining and the clouds lazily moved across the bright blue sky. Sparrow's sharp eyes scanned the streets; however her eyes were hidden by the black and white mask she wore.

"Just your regular California scene" I joked. Sparrow sighed and looked at me from the side.

"Why did you pick here again?" she asked.

"Heard they had great food?" I said smiling. Sparrow sighed again and looked around.

"Dawn, this place is boring. I wanted adventure." I rolled my eyes; already she was complaining but something inside me told me that this was the place.

"Come on, there's this pizza place that smells amazing even from across the street." I grabbed her elbow and led her across the road. The cheese and garlic of the sauce filled my nose as I inhaled the wonderful aroma of the pizza place. Ah, I could practically taste it. When was the last time we ate out? Last place we were-

"Hey!" Sparrow jumped, rocks were flying right towards us, she pushed me back out of the way. Looking to our side we saw a girl about our age, using some type of power to control the rocks. Crap. Here for only 10 minutes and we already we're spotted out and attacked. I released Sparrow's arm and made marks in the air, creating my faithful Fulmine expressa ( That's latin for bolt express) the lightning bolt board I used to fly. You ride it as if you were riding a surf board.

Jumping on it, I headed in her direction.

The girl was surprised to see that I could fly, let alone had powers. I tackled her in one move. Sparrow using her teleportation technique popped up beside me, and held the girl down from behind.

"You so wished you didn't do that." She hissed, and her eyes glowed yellow and so did her hands. I've seen a lot of weird stuff in my time, but this girl? She was just plain freaky.

"Like I haven't heard that one before." I said rolling my eyes. Then, the boulder came flying back, and hit me on the side.

"Dawn!" Sparrow said, letting her guard down for one minute. A minute too long, the girl wiggled her way free and took off running down the street.

"No!" Sparrow cried, and took off running after her. I stood up and brushed myself off. Ugh. A runner. I flew off down after them.

.:Dawn:.

Rocks. They were flying everywhere, and in every direction.

By now Sparrow was seriously mad. As in she was yelling orders like crazy and I'm pretty sure smoke was coming out of her.

"Enough is enough! Dawn, take her down."

"Aye, aye captain." I said. Sparrow was kind of the leader between us.

I focused my eyes on the girl, and hit the wall that was a few feet in front of her with a ligthening bolt. It became a landslide and she skidded to a stop. Sparrow teleported to where she was in front of the girl, and I reared up on the girl's other end.

"Surrender now or forever hold your peace." I said, my hands glowing with electricity.

"Sorry, I don't do peace, only destruction." She said spitting the words out with hatred. Dear god, who rocked her boat?

"You caught me on the wrong day little girl." Sparrow said, annoyed.

"I. Am. Not. A. Little. Girl!" She cried. She threw her hands up in fury, and rocks came tumbling down. Dirt and pebbles flew into my eyes and hair, making it hard to see. I could still make this girl out, she had tried to make a run for it, but I blasted her in the back.

"Oh, no you don't!" I said grabbing at her. She fell down to the ground and Sparrow held her hands behind her back.

"Now what should we do with you?" I said smiling down at her. She barred her teeth in response. Another day, another villain down.

"Feisty little thing." Sparrow said with a small laugh. I was about to put in another pun when someone yelled

"Terra!"

It was like everything had slowed down. One minute I had this girl pinned down, the next thing I knew, we lost our grip, and she was gone.

"No!" I cried in agony, when the girl fled. She was just gone. I swirled around to see who had yelled the name.

"You!" Sparrow pointed her finger at the teenage boy. He was tall, green, handsome, and upset. He didn't stand alone. He was with four other people; I quickly realized who they were. The Teen Titans. Beast boy, Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin.

Did that matter to me? No. He just let this chick get away.

"Do you know what you just did!" Sparrow cried, feeling the same way I felt.

"I'm sorry, I just-"

"No there is no 'I'm sorry'. You let that villain get away. Now I have to go back, and track her down." Sparrow said, clearly annoyed. Even though I was pissed, I came up behind Sparrow

"Sparrow, calm down."

"No, she's right, we distracted you and she got away. But there's no point in going after her, she's back with Slade." Robin stood forward glancing between me and Sparrow.

"I'm Robin, and we're-"

"The Teen Titans, yes we know." I said

"I'm Sparrow, and this is Dawn." Sparrow said once she calmed down from her fit.. I looked at her; she was looking at Robin, blushing. Oh, God.

"Well nice to meet you. I must say, I haven't seen you guys around here before."

"Just came in this morning." I said, setting my tone a bit friendlier. "We were touring when we ran into that girl, or she ran into us."

"That's Terra, she's Slade's apprentice." Raven said gruffly. I could barely make her out; she blended into the darkness so well.
I wiped the blood from my forehead with the back of my hand. It had started to run down the side of my face.

"Freak" I muttered. The girl, Terra, must have nicked me with one of her stupid rocks.

"Are you okay?" Beast boy asked, stepping forward.

"I'm fine." I said looking away. "Listen, the point is that, that girl, Terra, is still out there with this guy Slade. Does that not freak you out?"

"Of course it does. I've fought Slade all my life. There's not a moment that goes by that I don't think about his next plan or what he has in store for the city." Robin's eyes hardened and his hands curled into fists. "But," he continued, "there's more to life than just defeating the bad guys, you need to enjoy the life you have, and the friends that come with it."

I stood speechless, watching Robin, and the Titans smile (expect Raven.) All I ever did was get the bad guy, and that was it. Sure, Sparrow and I did things together, but we didn't have much time since we traveled a lot.

"So true. I guess since we are always so busy, we don't have much time to do that." Sparrow said smiling at me, and at the Titans. I crossed my arms and glowered my kohl rimmed eyes at them. Moments passed, awkward moments, before Robin said anything again.

"So. You're obviously some type of super heroes. We're heading to our favorite pizza place, care to join us? It'd be really cool to get to know some new teen superheroes."

Pizza place? My mind suddenly flashed back to earlier this morning. Ah, cheese and garlic. My stomach rumbled on the thought. But did I really want to get to know these guys? I preferred just being with Sparrow. Now a day's big groups kind of freaked me out.

"I think we were heading there anyway." I said nudging Sparrow's arm.

"Yeah, I think we were heading that way" she mumbled.

"Great! This way, man they have the best MEAT LOVERS!" Cyborg said, grabbing my hand, Starfire on my other side.

"Oh yes! You must try the meat on the cheese!"

The last thing I heard was Robin talking to Sparrow.

"Nice mask by the way."

.:Still Dawn:.

"Um. Do we really need five pizzas?" I asked, as the waiter walked away with our enormous order.

"Why? Did you think we need more?" Beast boy asked sucking the soda out of his cup loudly. It made a sound like a singing frog with a sore throat. I winced and took a sip of my own water.

"No. It just seems like a lot."

"You've never seen these guys eat." Robin said pointing to Cyborg and BB.

"I can only imagine." Sparrow said smiling. Raven glanced over at Sparrow and sighed, "You shouldn't want to. It's not…sanitary."

"Hey!" Beast boy cried, "I'm the neatest animal you've ever meet!"

"Key word BB: animal!" Cyborg boomed with his loud voice, and then he cracked up at his own joke.

"Please friends; let's enjoy the American pizza together!" Starfire said clasping her hands together, her fingernails painted a bright purple.

What planet was she from again? But I couldn't finish my thought because just then the steamy hot pizza came out. The grease was shimmering in the light (gross, but oh so good.)

"Mm, mm, mm! Nothing better than some Pizza!" Cyborg said grabbing at the all meat pizza while Beast boy grabbed the vegan pizza. I couldn't help but smile a bit as I grabbed for a slice of the cheese. How could people be so different, yet be the best of friends? I glanced over at Sparrow, thinking of us and our relationship. We had a lot in common, so we never really disagreed on-

"Ouch!" Sparrow cried dropping her pizza on the plate and clutching her hand. Everybody snapped their heads toward her, looking ready to fight.

"What?" I said, my hands glowing with electrons.

"The pizza's hot" Sparrow said smiling shyly. "Did I scare you?"

I was about to say something snarky, but for the second time today I was interrupted.

"There's Terra again! Titans, GO!" Robin said jumping up suddenly. Cyborg pushed one more piece of pizza in his mouth before taking off after the others.

It all happened so fast, I think it happened in one blink of an eye. I sat dumb folded on the bench, looking sideways at Sparrow who was looking at me. I just shrugged my shoulders and watched them run off towards the library were Terra was just standing on the steps, eyes and hands glowing yellow. Sighing, Sparrow stood up and nodded her head towards the library. In one instance she was gone, the next behind Terra tackling her as she fought with Starfire and the others. I felt a weird feeling in my stomach as I stood up to join them. What was she doing back here? She had a chance to run away, why would she jeopardize that? I tried to shake it off, and drew the rune markings in the air for my board.. I took off to fly, but I stumbled back to the ground, my bolt express vanished from my feet. I tried to draw it again, but all I got was sparks. Fear over took me, a head ache so strong washed over me and I gripped my head in pain. What's going on? The world in front of my whirled around as I stumbled backwards, still watching the fight that happened in front of me. Terra was using all she had, but I could tell her eyes were on me. In one instance I was standing up, the next, the world had turned to a dark and dangerous place.

.:Guess who? You guessed right. Dawn:.

"You are never alone." the voice echoed in my head, but all I saw was a deep blackness.

"Get out." I said, my teeth grinding.

"I can be your family Dawn. All you have to do is get your friend Sparrow, and work with me. We can be one big family." The voice was cold and calm, as if it was reading from cue cards.

Lies. I told myself. These are lies.

"Sorry. I already have a partner, and I wouldn't want you to feel like a third wheel." I said, spitting the words out at the mysterious stranger.

The blackness seemed to strangle my mind. I was lost in a pool of darkness, evil.

"Not for long." it said. And I slipped into a cold and silent sleep.
