A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first-ever TT multi-chapter fanfiction and I've had this idea ALL summer when I road-tripped through the States so I'm glad that I'm finally sitting my ass down to write it.

This story will be split into four parts, each opening a new can of worms(trigger incidents) that lead to bigger events until the final climax or finale of the story! And that's all I'm saying... haha. I hope you enjoy reading it! I am loving writing this idea. So what're you waiting for? Go!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Teen Titans. If I did, it would seriously be corrupted.


PART ONE

The Broken Bird

It was dark, and he couldn't see. He tried putting out his hands in front of him to feel for anything but there wasn't anything to hold onto. Instead he tripped over something and was glad there was a floor at least. But the relief washed away as his vision began to brighten.

There on the floor were his mother and father, John and Mary. Still and without breath, they were frozen in their own heaps. The boy couldn't move but it didn't stop him from shaking either. Eyes wide, he knelt down beside them, his knees hitting the hard ground and near collapsing under himself when he felt blood seep through his pants. He hadn't noticed before but now the darker truth appeared. He bent his head over his knees and didn't suppress the water running down his cheeks or the deep shutters in his heart. His parents, the only two, beautiful people and family he had in his world were gone. So he gasped out, and shut his eyes.

Another boy, who looked a lot like him but younger, was standing far away, watching him and yelling at him. But no sound came out.
