Author's notes- Here's the revised edition of 'The First Piece: Cora Grayson'! Happy happy JTF!
This version, our leading lady (hate that term) is a little edgier, a little darker, and there's a little more mystery. I'm cutting the flashback chapters (everyone say 'aw') and adding a villain. Yay!
Disclaimer- I do not own the Teen Titans, or Star Wars, or Artemis Fowl, or X-men. I don't even own this computer!
Claimer- I do own Cora, Jake, Lu, Aaladi, Garr, Ulu Ulix, Dara, Shono None, Mashi Clonor, Alpha, Melayna, Beta, Celt, Delta, Eck, Fet, Gamma, Han (not the Star Wars one), Dixie Conel, and the rest of ROGU.
Enjoy the Story!
CATT part 1
A small black-haired girl sat in a quiet alley in downtown Jump City. She'd been in the city for almost 3 days, waiting for them to show up. She was wearing a deep green tunic and leggings, and brown soft-soled boots. A dark robe cover her and the cowl shaded her features.
"D'arvit, Wilson. You said you were gonna make a distraction." The girl said calmly.
"These things take time, child." Said a voice from her belt. The girl stiffened.
"What did you say?" she growled.
"Yes I called you a child, you are only fifteen. Has the Great Gray forgotten her own age?" said the voice again.
"You better shut your mouth Wilson, before I report you. Or worse."
"How can you hurt me? I'm miles away. You might as well be home for all the hurt you cou-" the voice was cut off. The girl smirked. In a warehouse miles away (as previously stated), a black and orange clad man had fallen from his chair, hit by unseen fire.
"Haha Wilson, haha." The girl whispered, and rose from her crouched stance.
She walked out of the alley and stood in the center of the street. A car speed towards the girl and the second before it hit, green fire sprung up before her, and the car disintegrated, leaving it's passengers behind. The girl continued to cause simple havoc without destroying anything other than a few minor buses and taxis. No one was hurt, just frightened.
Titans' Tower
A boring, but normal day in Titans' Tower, it's occupants were enjoying several activities. Beastboy and Cyborg were playing a video game, Robin was surfing the Internet, Starfire was trying to cook something in the kitchen, and Raven was on the roof meditating. Suddenly the alarm went off, and the screen changed from a racing game to a view of Main Street. A dark clothed girl was causing havoc in the city.
"Titans, Go!"
In The City
"Freeze!" Robin shouted. The dark haired girl turned slowly to face the Titans and smiled softly, as if remembering something.
"Hello Titans, Glad we can finally meet. My name Cora The Grey." She bowed, hands clasped at her waist.
"Who are you?" Robin asked.
"I just told you." Cora answered, irritated.
"You sound like that wizard from Lord Of The Rings…." Beastboy thought out loud. Cora sighed.
"That's what they all say. Now, 'Robin', I want to talk to you." Cora said.
"Why?" Robin asked.
"Because we have things to discuss, doy." Cora was becoming increasingly irritated, and her old grammar habits were showing through her training. Robin frowned.
"Come with us." He started walking towards the Tower.
Ten Minutes Later
"So why were you blowing up cars in the middle of the city." Robin asked. Cora sighed.
"I did not blow them up. They disinagrated. There's a difference. Now to business." Cora pulled a small circle from her robes and it flashed. A green hologram floated above it.
"Hi Princess." Said the image, a tallish boy in robes like Cora's.. She bristled.
"Jakov, what did I say?"
"I'd rather not repeat it in front of mixed company."
"Shut up."
"Can do."
"Now, talk to the people."
"OK. Grayson, And'r, Roth, Stone, and Logan. Right?" The Titans nodded numbly. "Good. I'll let Grey explain the whole Parallel thing, but here's the basics. Each of you have a copy, who in another universe, lives like you would without each other. Certain people and experiences have been removed so that they become different people. They are then placed in this world somewhere to help the universe.
"Because you are young but influential, you are the beginning. You and your copies. Grey will explain the rest. Have fun!" the boy turned back towards Cora. He winked. "See ya later Princess." He disappeared. Cora bristled but slipped the device back in her pocket.
"I am one of those copies." She bowed her head slightly and removed her hood, revealing a face surprisingly similar to Robin's, down to the mask.
