Teen Titans: Return of the Elements
Prologue
Aqua made her way around the laboratory perimeter. She hated the night watch because the dark frightened her (though she wouldn't admit that to anybody). As she rounded the corner where only the charred remains of the North Wing remained she thought she saw a shadow move silently across the wasteland that surrounded her home. She looked again, but saw nothing. She dismissed it as one of the tricks her mind was constantly playing on her.
As she made her way to the back of the complex Aqua had the strange feeling she was being followed. She turned around quickly, but a few sparse patches of weeds waving at her in the wind were the only things that crossed her vision. It was then that Aqua decided she definitely wasn't getting enough sleep, and that she should stop watching scary movies.
Aqua did not hear him approach her from behind. She only realized his presence seconds before he knocked her to the ground. She rolled onto her back and was surprised by what she saw.
"Did you miss me," asked Slade, "I'm not one you should forget you know. Did you really think that I wouldn't find you? Did you think you had escaped? You have amazing powers. Powers that I would not let slip through my fingers so easily." With that Slade kicked the side of Aqua's head, knocking her unconscious, picked her up and carried away.
Yes, so that is how the story begins. Now just hit the pretty blue button and tell me what you think...
