Hey everyone. This is only my second story so please go easy on me, but i still want to hear feedback. I also want to apologize in advance for leaving you guys hanging at any point. I'll try to update often, but I might not be able to as often as you'd like. I'll do my best not to leave you on a cliffhanger though. I hate it when people do that. Or it i do leave a chapter on a cliffy than i'll update soon, kay? So enjoy, let me know what you think. Thanks.

Summary: Kaida has the powers of a dragon. She breathes and controls fire, has incredibly heightened senses, and wings. While these powers may seen cool, she can't help but wish that dragon had chosen someone else to 'bless.' Kaida's powers have never let her have a normal life. She's lived as an outcast, especially after the accident... But when she's in jump city and meets the teen titans, can they show her a new life. A life where she's not an outcast, where she's not a monster, but a hero?

Kaida's Point of View

I woke up to what sounded like a door being kicked down. I shot up, immediately taking a

defensive form. I looked around, but didn't see anything. I was about to blame it on a dream or

my own paranoia when i heard muffled voices talking. It sounded like they were coming from

the other side of the warehouse. Glancing around, making sure no one was nearby, i jumped

up, climbing the abandoned boxes and machines to get to the rafters in the ceiling of the

warehouse. I jumped from beam to beam, getting closer to the mysterious voices. Sure i

could've just walked up and talked to them, but i've learned from experience to always make

sure someone isn't a threat before you approach them. Especially if they just kicked down the

door to your temporary home. Couldn't they have just snuck in the air vents like i did? I

stopped when i could see them. I melted into the shadows, a skill i've perfected after 15 and a

half years of being an social outcast. I've learned the hard way that it's best not to be seen,

especially after what happened a few months ago...No! Don't even think about that Kaida . I

shook those thoughts out of my head to check out the people. When i finally focused on them,

i almost fell off the rafter. The teen titans?! What are they doing here? Why would they come

to a crummy old abandoned warehouse? Maybe they were looking for someone. Were they

looking for me? That thought spread an icy fear through my heart. I thought the police had

given up. They never looked that hard for me anyway. To them i was just some messed up

teenage girl with a sad life. They never believed what the others had said anyway. So no, the

Teen titans wouldn't look for me, they had no reason to... unless they figured out my secret. I

shook out of my thoughts-again i've got to stop doing that- as a new, extremely creepy voice

joined that of the resident heroes. I scanned the ground until i saw who was talking. From what

i could tell he was pretty tall, dressed in a black suit with a mask on that was half black, half

rusty red color. I could see from how the titans were looking around that they couldn't see him

without a birds eye view. One of the girls, Starfire, fixed that by flying up dangerously close to

my hiding spot. I held my breath, hoping she wouldn't notice me. Luckily she only seemed to

see the man and called down to the others "There!" They all took off towards him, with me

following them unknown from the shadows of the ceiling. Once they reached him, the leader,

Robin, boy wonder, stepped forward. "Slade, didn't your little volcano accident teach you

anything? What are you planning this time? Why did you steal all those things?" "Oh Robin,

haven't you learned yet? You will never be able to comprehend the genius of my plans. Nor will

you be able to stop me." "We'll see about that. Titans, GO!" All 5 of them took off towards

'Slade'. Huh, 5 on one? Doesn't seem fair. I quickly changed my mind as i saw each one of

them get their buts handed to them with extreme ease. The green kid, Beast Boy, changed into

a green lion and shot at him immediately. He slashed, growled, and tried to bite the masked

villain, but only hit air. When slade kicked him, he changed into a gorilla and attempted to

smash him, but got blasted back into a pile of wooden boxes so hard that he didn't get up.

Then the robot-man shot a cannon thing that appeared out of his arm- Cool - at slade from

behind. This nocked him off balance a bit, and the girl, Raven used this opportunity to throw a

bunch of black boxes at a moment it seemed like he was buried, but then the pile blew up,

knocking both titans down. The redhead girl, starfire, shot green energy from her hands at him,

which he neatly dodged. He jumped back with amazing agility, and pulled a lever on one of the

machines. A metal arm used form moving large crates smashed into the box behind her, that

was already perched dangerously. It fell towards her, but she unfortunately didn't notice until it

was to late to move. The crate smashed on her before me or her team could give her a

warning. Robin yelled "Starfire" and charged at Slade holding a metal pole. Those two seemed

more matched, and fought for a while, Robin swung his pole, punched, kicked, and was clearly

giving the fight his all. Unfortuneatly, it wasn't enough. After a minute slade broke his staff, and

he blocked every hit, punch, and kick like nothing i've ever seen. After a few more minutes of

fighting, Slade managed to grab Robin by his collar and threw him, hard, into the metal wall. He

hit his head and lay unmoving on the floor. "Oh Robin Don't you ever learn." Slade taunted. He

raised his hand up menacingly, brandishing a knife. "I had hoped we could work together, but i

can see it will be much simpler to destroy you." Time seemed to slow down, I saw everything

with amazing clarity, literally. I could see Slades arm, holding a silver knife, the espressions on

his friends faces. I heard Robins heart beating amazingly fast, his friends gasping breaths, and

the fear frozen in all of their eyes. This had only happened once before, when i saw someone

else in the same position. Back then, i wasn't able to do anyting with it. I could only watch

everything unfold. Before i knew what was happening, a growl ripped out of my throat. I would

NOT let this happen again. I crouched, and pushed off from the beam with all my strength, and

fell straight towards Slade. My feet collided with his shoulders, sending him straight into the

ground. I jumped backwards off him, landing in front of the fallen titan in a defensive crouch. He

started to stand and I flew at him. I lifted my hands toward him and shot fire straight at him. He

was blown back into the opposite wall. I shot fireballs and jets at him one after another never

giving him time to recover, until he was completely covered in a wall of smoke. I walked

forward hesitantly, and a hand shot out of the smoke. It grabbed me by the neck and threw

me to the ground. I kicked him back, and now we were locked in hand to hand combat. I

couldn't focus enough to conjure fire, so it was martial arts skills alone. Unfortunately, i'm not

the best at martial arts, and he still had the knife. He managed to grab my arm in one hand,

twisting me around. Then he raised the knife and sliced it deep into my backpack, with enough

force to kill a normal human. Luckily, I was not a normal human. All the knife did was shred my

backpack, and with it gone, I heard six gasps. For where there should've been a deep gash

down my spine, there was instead a pair of foled up, scaly, black wings. I spread them out,

realizing that while the attack hadn't killed me, it had made a minor cut to my left wing. It didn't

hurt that much, but my power was linked to my wings. If they got hurt my other powers were

damaged. The cut was so minor that it wouldn't mess up my fighting too much, but i was still

furious. I growled at him, literally. I pulled my lips back over my teeth, revealing fangs that only

popped up when i was extremely mad. My eyes glowed for a moment, and i Knew without

having to look that the pupils were now nothing but slits. I gathered in a deep breath, and shot

fire out of my mouth with a half roar, half scream. It his Slade hard, sending him straight

through the wall. He looked up at me, then the titans who were now watching in awe, and

seemingly disappeared. I sighed, exhausted from the energy i'd just spent. It wasn't until i heard

a voice say, "Thank You" that i was able to turn and face the Heroes.
