DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN TEEN TITANS JUST ZERO ONE and this is a AU.
(A/n: I use these fanfic to improve my OC Zero One sometimes.)
The Teen Titans are just relaxing in the center ops/living room of the Tower since there hasn't been much crime the last two weeks and the phone rang in the kitchen and Robin pick it up.
"Hello, Titans Tower, Robin speaking." Spoke Robin.
"Hello, I'm Mira from the Gifted children orphanage in New York and I am calling about a child we have and we're wondering if you'll take him in, you'll see he's an alien like your teammate Starfire and he's been at the orphanage since he was an infant and currently at eight years old, other than the Justice League whom by the way have decline the same offer we're giving you and he already been told what he is but not what kind of alien he is and judging from his appearance their Humanoid."
"You do know you're asking a group of teen heroes to adopt a child? and What is the Gifted children orphanage exactly?" Question Robin.
"We know and to us no matter what age the hero that wishes to adopt a child from us he or she can but the stander age requirements must be met for civilians and The Gifted children orphanage is an orphanage for Meta-Human children that have been abandon or disown by their families and we kindly take them in and will only let people that can be trusted to adopt from our orphanage."
"And how do you know he's an alien?" Asked Robin.
"Well five years ago an alien shuttle crash landed in a government base and seeing that it was just an infant so they give him to us due to the Meta-Human acts and as well they give us the pod, during the time since he was four it was then we told him everything and show him the pod and he was able to read the writing on it and made it compact just by touching it."
"Ok, you and the kid will come over to the Tower, when should we expect you?" Robin asked.
"In about two weeks."
Then Robin hang up the phone and walk over to his team/friends.
"Hey guys that was a call from the gifted children orphanage and they want us to adopt a child who is very much like Starfire an alien. What do you guys think?" Said Robin.
"Even if he is an alien then why offer us to adopt him surely they know we're a bunch of teenagers?" Question Raven.
"To them for superheroes age doesn't matter." Replied Robin.
"Well I think we should adopt him and train him." Spoke Starfire.
"We can mentor a new hero and we can teach him what we know, who knows it might be a good experience for us." Cyborg spoke.
"I agree with him." Said Beast Boy.
"So it settle?" Question Cyborg and then thought, 'this could either end well for us or really bad.'
Cyborg only got nods from the group in agreement.
(Two weeks later)
The Titans had clean the Tower for Mira and the kid visit and when they arrive, they show around the Tower and stop at the center ops and began introductions.
"Hi I'm Robin and they are, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy." Robin introduce.
"I'm Cyborg and if there anything you need just ask." Said Cyborg.
"Hello nice to you and I know you're going to like it here and you're such a cutie." Said Starfire as she was about to pinch the kid cheeks but he hide behind Mira.
"He not use to other people and is shy around strangers." Said Mira, "And we tried to get him out of that phase."
"I'm Raven nice to meet you." Said Raven.
"I'm Beast Boy and why don't you tell us about yourself." Said Beast Boy.
"Hello I'm Mira and I'm this kid caretaker, guardian and case worker and we call him Zero One but that not his name only a rank, we give the orphans we train because the children at our orphanage don't go by name seeing it as a sign of affection and we can't get to attach to the children, he doesn't talk no matter how hard we tried which cause us to worried and took him to the doctor, they said his vocals are fine but don't know why he doesn't speak." Said Mira, "So who would be this boy adoptive mother or father?"
"Wait I thought all five all of us were going to be his parents?" Asked Cyborg.
"Sadly no when it come to a group or organization of heroes wishing to adopt, we can only allow one to be in charge of the child." Mira explained.
"I think it best if I adopt him." Said Starfire, "After all you do claim he not from this planet and I can see that he is Tamaranean much like myself but I would like to see he
"I agree with Starfire." Said Robin.
"01 did you bring the ship like I told you?" Mira asked only to get a nod from said boy.
So they went to the roof where 01 put a small cube in the center and give it some energy, then in a flash there was an alien ship and Starfire exam it.
"It clearly Tamaranean but not of my home world probably one of our sister planets." Spoke Starfire.
"So he's a Tamaranean?" Asked Cyborg even though she point that out inside that he is Tamaranean.
"Yes but these marking on the ship is might be from one of our destroyed sister planets meaning one of the reasons I can think for him being on Earth and if only I understand it." Replied Starfire.
"If you wish to know 01's powers they're are very much like those of your own Starfire though we believe that as his body grows he gains more abilities from our experience with his rage mode but only showed the powers you have Starfire." Spoke Mira as she shiver in fear from a memory of incident with his rage mode.
"Gaining more abilities, rage mode?" Question Starfire, "The radiation from space could have altar him."
"That seem possible." Spoke Cyborg.
"So you're willing to adopt him?" Asked Mira.
"Yes we are." Replied Starfire.
So they went back inside after 01 put the ship back into it compact form and Mira give the paperwork to Starfire and Robin help her out with the paperwork.
"If there anything you need just call me, oh before I forget I need to tell you something's, He hardly eats any food so you might need to force him to eat and he tends to try to eat things that people don't normally eat, like birds, rats, dogs, cats and bugs and we couldn't figure out why and we made sure he'd only eats what we give him, we have also taught him basic hand to hand combat and how to use his powers and he tend to change his appearance around people that he thinks he can trust." Said Mira handing a file to Starfire, "Goodbye 01 you're in good hands now."
Mira give 01 a quick hug and left the building.
The kid eye the Titans as his appearance change his clothes. His shirt to a black shirt having a 01 on it instead and his shorts shift into black jeans, black steel toe boots and red cloak and Cyborg took a quick photo before his clothes went back to normal.
"What was that?" Asked Beast Boy.
"I believe that was his ability to shift his appearance." Replied Starfire.
Then the alarms went off and the Titans went to save the city.
(Jump City)
Cinderblock was attacking Jump City just to stall time for the group invading Titans Tower to steal their secrets, finally the Titans show up.
Robin attack him with his bo staff follow by Starfire hitting him with a barrage of star bolts and Cyborg using his sonic cannon and then Beast Boy shift into a gorilla and body slam Cinderblock and Raven drop a bus on him.
They continue to attack him endlessly just wanting to get this over with, so they can go back to 01.
(Titans Tower)
01 watch the Titans leave the Tower and once they were gone, he decided to watch TV until a few hours later he heard the sound of shattered glass and look towards one of the windows and sees a group of five armed men breaking into the Tower, so he quickly shift into his alter Zero One orphanage uniform and got ready for a fight.
"Hurry up Cinderblock can't distract the Titans for long." Order Gunman 1.
Then they notice a kid in the middle of the room but didn't get the chance to react when said kid shot red starbolts at two of them sending them out the window and quickly put up an energy shield in front of him just as the two men started to fire at him, he didn't notice the one behind him and before he could sense the upcoming attack, he was stab in the back making him release a painful cry unknowingly triggering the silent alarm system alerting the Titans and fell to the floor as blood started to pour out from his back.
So the invaders went to hack the computers but were having no luck.
(Jump City)
The Titans had defeated Cinderblock and their communicators started beeping.
"That the Tower's alarms, 01 must have set them off?" Question Cyborg.
"Or he could be in trouble." Said Raven.
That brought chills down their spines.
"We need to get back now!" Yelled Robin.
(Titans Tower)
The kid pull the knife out of his back and started to crawl towards the door and force it open then crawl through leaving the room with a thin trail of blood as he manage to get to Raven's room without knowing who room it is, he enter the room and hide in her closet.
The Titans had made it back to the Tower and beat the invaders that are tie down while the Titans look around the room until they found blood.
"Where the kid!" Yelled Robin as he slam one of the invaders to the wall.
"I don't know, we just left him in a pool of his own blood." The Gunman replied.
"I'm taking these guys in for questioning, while Starfire and Raven find the kid." order Robin, "Cyborg check the security cameras, Beast Boy check for damage's."
While they did as told, Starfire and Raven follow the blood trail to Raven's room where they see a trail of blood stopping at her closet and when she open the closet, there was blur and Raven was tackle to the floor by a crying child.
"Guys, you might want to see this." Spoke Cyborg over the intercom.
So the Titans went to center ops/living room only to see Cyborg playing video of the break in to and 01 getting stab in the back to the Titans returning to the Tower, this made Starfire mad and Robin even more angry and no one saw him leave the room.
So Raven sat the kid on the kitchen counter and Starfire remove his blood soaked shirt and clean his back of the dry blood only to find a small scar.
"It already healed." Stated Starfire examining the scar.
"Perhaps he can heal himself, Mira did say there were some abilities that he possibly kept hidden so there no telling what powers he can have." Spoke Raven.
"Sorry for not protecting your home." Spoke the kid for the first time in his life.
"It alright and it your home to." Said Starfire.
"Hey Star what are you going to name him?" Asked Robin, "I remember Mira saying he has no name and the people had the orphanage call the children they take care of by their rank."
"Well after seeing that video, I think I'll name him, Rednova." Said Starfire, "What do you think?"
"I like it, Rednova it is." Said the now name Rednova.
"I'm going to tell my sister Blackfire then I'll take you to the mall of shopping for new clothes seeing how you didn't come with anything other than your ship." Starfire said as she made her way to her room not noticing Rednova had followed her.
"Hey Blackfire, I'm calling to tell you great new!" Said an overly joy Starfire.
"Let me guess you're dating Raven." Joke Blackfire.
"Not a very good joke sister, I think you're spend too much time with Beast Boy during your last visit to Earth when you tried to had me arrested and I'm glad that we work things out, I'm calling to tell you and Wildfire that you have a nephew, I have a son!" Starfire exclaimed while still trying to keep her relationship with Raven a secret.
"Someone knock you up!" Yelled Blackfire, "I'm going to send Robin ass to the hospital for not doing what I told him to do, protect my little sister!"
"You don't want to hurt your own boyfriend do you?" Said Starfire trying to calm her before she does anything to her boyfriend, "No, I adopted a child here on Earth and he Tamaranean as well."
"You should have said that before and I'm coming over to visit, leaving Wildfire in charge and what the kid name?" Said Blackfire.
"His name is Rednova." Said Starfire before she hung up.
"So that your sister." Said Rednova causing Starfire to jump.
"Please don't do that to your K'norfka and how much did you hear?" Said Starfire half asking.
"I basically heard the whole conversation." Said Rednova.
So they went to the mall and Raven went along with them.
They look in several stores and found clothes for Rednova, Red and black shirts, Black steel toe boots, simple pair of jeans.
They went to the food court for lunch as they were eating both Raven and Starfire thought it would be a good idea to take Rednova to see a movie but they were call in by Robin saying that some new villain causing trouble downtown, so they took Rednova with them and see their friends having trouble taking this guy down, Raven goes to help them while Starfire put her son somewhere safe.
"Just stay right here ok?" Starfire asked only to get a nod from the child.
Starfire hit the villain with a starbolt as she went to help out her team.
"Just who is this guy?" Beast Boy asked as he change back to his normal from the form of a tiger but was hit by red lightning bolt to the chest.
Raven saw the lightning bolt heading for her and she quickly put a shield but she or the other Titans didn't notice the large blast of electricity from underneath them forcing them into submission as none of them couldn't get back up.
The villain was about to finish off the Titans but Rednova couldn't bear the sight of people getting killed and that he must protect his new adoptive mother, so he runs into the battle as he threw a redbolt at the villain stopping him in his tracks.
"A child?"
"I won't let you hurt them."
The villain charge a lightning bolt at Rednova but he avoided it and land punch on the villain in the face making him he stumble back a bit.
"You dare try to defeat me? Red electric."
"You hurt a kid's mother which would make said kid really mad."
Rednova shot a barrage of redbolts at him while avoiding bolts of electricity at himself, one of his redbolts hit him giving Rednova small window to kick him into the ground and finishing it off with a punch to the chest digging him deeper into the ground.
Rednova then goes over to Starfire flipping her onto her back.
"Starfire, are you alright?" Rednova asked worriedly.
"I'm alright little Bumgorf and you shouldn't be here the-" Starfire replied but was cut off by her son.
"Don't worry, I took care of him, I hope." Rednova said.
"Are you harm?" Stafire asked as she sat up and took a look at Raven hoping that her girlfriend is alright.
"I'm fine, Starfire." Rednova as he could sense Starfire's concern for Raven which was new for him since it was something he never done before.
'Perhaps they're really great friends?' Rednova thought.
Then a person with a body completely made out of electricity shot out of the ground and Rednova shot up to his feet and was about charge at him but was stop when Starfire grab his wrist tightly.
"Starfire, you're hurting me." Rednova whimper.
"You must not fight, you'll only get hurt." Starfire said in deep worry tone as her grip tighten.
"Star, you're hurting me." Rednova whimper again as tears threaten to spill.
They notice the large electro ball heading towards them and Shade didn't have enough time to protect himself and starfire, then Starfire use her body as a shield to protect Rednova, when Starfire body hit the ground Rednova rush over to her.
"Starfire…wake up...Star." Rednova call out as he try to get her to wake up.
Then something snap in the young Tamaran child, his eyes glow red with fury as a red energy dance around him, Raven shot straight up feeling intense rage and demonic aura both coming from Rednova when she look at him, he was half way through his transformation then charge for Red electric.
'They had their facts wrong about his powers it clearly that not a rage mode but a demonic transformation but he is now emitting demonic aura, he a Tamaranean then why does he have demonic blood in him, it doesn't make any sense he showed no demonic traits at all .' Raven thought as look around to see if the others are alright and they were unconscious when her eyes landed on Starfire she quickly rush over to her girlfriend side.
Rednova transformation has now complete, his body was now made entirely of fire as his fight with Red electric draws on, Red electric is fully aware of his actions in his demonic state but Rednova wasn't it was more like a mindless animal trying to kill it prey.
The two demons of fire and lighting were giving their all as Rednova as mainly dodge all of Red electric attacks, then Rednova shot up into the sky and turn around to charge at Red electric. Red electric charge at Rednova and their fists clash as they attempt to punch each other releasing a shock wave of fire and lighting then Red electric wrap his arms around the young child crushing his body making him let out a roar of pain.
The rest of the Titans regain consciousness only to see the demons of fire and lighting and that Raven watching them fight not sure what to do, when Starfire couldn't find any sign of her son that she starts to worry.
"Raven, where Rednova!" Starfire exclaimed when she got no answer, she grab Raven and force her to look at her, "Where is my son, Raven!"
"Star, that creature is your son. I saw him turn into that thing." Raven replied.
"That fire thing is Rednova?" Robin questioned thinking Mira had kept something.
"Does that mean that lighting thing is the villain that we been fighting?" Cyborg asked.
"Yes and they're giving off demonic aura which I don't know why." Raven said.
"A battle between demons." Beast Boy spoke.
Rednova bite into Red electric neck forcing him to let go and he fell onto the street then Red electric land a few yards away from him as reach his arms out creating large electro ball that can destroy a block of business buildings and lunch it at Rednova whom manage to stop with his hand but it push him back a little then he threw it into the sky then suddenly Red electric was in front of him and Rednova release a massive fire blast from his mouth at him covering the area in smoke.
The force of the blast in close range was enough to make Red electric into unconsciousness and back into his normal form.
When the smoke clear up, the Titans can now see a unconscious Rednova and Red electric in their normal forms then they rush over to them only finding a few minor injuries on them.
Starfire pick up her son holding him close to her as Robin and Cyborg call in for pick up when the cops quickly came and took Red electric from the Titans then they took Rednova home there they place him in the infirmary letting Cyborg and Raven do their job.
