Ace ~ a Teen Titans story. Chapter 1

Hi, my name is Astara; I am the daughter of Jacy Grouselin and Tucker Foley. I'm 14 years old, the crazy thing about me is that I have superpowers, I wasn't given them like some heroes but I was born with them. My mom; Jacy has the power to travel through dimensions. I have the same power but more control on it, when my mom had her power she was being chased by these aliens called Irkens, she used to be one of them or as she said it, "Half Irken" . About 4 years ago my family was kidnapped, all of them. My family is rare and special. People have tried to kill me before. That is why I have been controlling my powers, I have search town after town. I have got after the maddest villains. I have came up with nothing, no leads or anything. There is on town I haven't searched. And this is where my story began.

I was chasing, a man named Slade. He was fast and strong, but I was twice he was. I ran up to him and tripped him, sending him to the ground. "Will you tell me anything now?" I said angrily. "Not a chance darling, but maybe the teen titans will help you." He said with a smile. "I don't need help." I said darkly letting him go, turning my back to him. "I just want to find my family." I said with sorrow. "That's to bad, well at least I know where they are." He said like a smart-ass. "Tell me where they are now!" I yelled punching him and pulled a round-house kick. I heard a battle cry in the background. "Titans! Go!" "Well look who's here." He said smugly as they ran toward me. They being Robin, Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire. As my hand grew on to his neck pulling him up and smashing him to a wall with my hands and eyes glowing blue. "Tell me where my family is now!" I yelled. "Not a chance, Child." He said with on dark eye, staring at me. Making me angry, and throwing him over my shoulder. He came up to me, and put his massive hand on my neck. I stared at them and whispered. "This isn't your fight." As tears grew my cheeks. "We'll keep in touch, little cousin." He said as he lifted his mask and kissed my cheek. And dropped me to the ground and disappeared. "Cousin?" B-boy said in disbelief. As I started to run. "Wait!" I heard Starfire cry. "Beast boy! Do you think you can run after her?" Cyborg said as Beast boy nodded and ran. He caught up to me pretty quickly. "Hey!" I heard Beast boy yelled. I tripped. What a stupid mistake. "Ow." I said with no emotion. "Are you ok?" Beast boy asked. "I'm fine!" I said a bit loudly. "Sorry, I was this close to finding my family, and he runs away!" I cried, curled up into a ball. I felt an arm around me. "It's ok we'll help you find your family." He said grabbed my wrist pulling me into a hug. I hugged him back, "Thank you Beast boy." I said. "How do you know my name?" He asked. "I know all your names. Here I'll show you!" I said running back towards the group, then I started to sprit. I was going a bit to fast, shutting my eyes and disappeared, reappearing behind them. Raising me hands. "What I was going to fast. I didn't want to crash into you." I said kind of funny. "Well I got of done a back flip over you, but I would have hurt myself. And I wouldn't want that." I said with a cheery smile. "Uh, not to be a bother you but um how did you disappear?" Starfire asked. "It's one of my powers, I can travel through dimensions. I obtained it from my mom, and my other powers I was born with." I said. "Obtain them? How?" Robin asked. "You see, I was there when my family was kidnapped, I hid away from them because I was scared and young, my mom came to my room, and gave me her power, she said she didn't want it to go to waste. Then she was dragged out of my room and down the stairs, all I could hear where screams. Oh god! It was so horrible! I didn't know what to do, so I waited till the house was silent then I walked down the stairs and there was blood everywhere, even my cousin Andy was stolen from me and he's half ghost." I said as I started to sob and curled up into a ball. Robin came up to me, and hugged me. "I can somewhat relate to you." He said. "No you don't, you have friends and family." I said. "You have, Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, Batman, Batgirl, And Alfred." I paused. "You know what I have? Nothing. No friends, my family has been kidnapped for 4 years. I have been tracking down and attacking every villain in every city, and I find him then he takes off. AND HE'S MY COUSIN!" I said angrily, standing up walking to a wall, with my hands glowing blue, I punched a hole in the wall. I crossed my legs and sat back down, breathing in and out. It didn't help and everything was starting to go black as I fainted. "Hello?" I heard Robin say as I felt him pick me up I curled up into his chest. "Let's go home." Cyborg said. I woke up in a bed. I got out of it and grabbed my CD player and my CD's, pushing one in and started to sing to it. It always made me feel better. The song was called In the End and it was by Linkin Park. Right now it was my most favourite song. "(It starts with one)
One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter.

I grabbed my hair brush, and brushed my hair straight. Putting on my mask, I walked out of my room, Having Starfire, and everyone else staring at me. "What?" I said confused. "Your singing… it's beautiful!" Starfire said. "Thanks. It makes me feel better." I said as I blushed. "Are you hungry?" Beast Boy asked. "I'm starving, do you have any tofu or anything? I'm a vegetarian." I said. "Really? Me to!" Beast boy exclaimed as we high-fived. "By the way, call me Ace. I like having secret identity, so I have the mask and the name. You'll probably find out sooner or later." I said with smile. Beast boy dragged me down the stairs, sat me down in a seat and started to make breakfast. "Oh, gosh it's been a while since I've ate breakfast." I said. "Why haven't you?" Raven asked. "I don't have time to. I haven't been sleeping either. No time for that either. Just trying to find them." I said, hitting my head against the table. "Damn you cousin Slade." I whispered. "What is up with that? Slade is you're cousin? And he's a villain, and you're a hero? Why is that?" Robin asked. Lifting my head. "My family is extremely rare; since he's evil he's tried to get my family, so many times. And he finally won. I just want to rip his head off, it makes me that mad." I said. Beast boy came back with tofu eggs and bacon. "Did I mention how much I miss food?" I chuckled. "By the way Robin, Batman says hi, and that he'll be visiting you soon, he misses having you as a sidekick." I said. "Batman is coming here?" Robin squealed. "Yes! I just said that, I was in Gotham city I while back. And I was with Joker, that man that guy is extremely messed-up, so I was attacking him, you know to see if he knew anything. And he did, he told me to come here. Then Batman showed up." As I continued. *Me starting to get into the story.*

"Are you alright?" Batman asked. "Not yet." I said round-housing Joker to the wall. "You're good, almost as good as the Bat." He said. "What do you mean by I should go to Metropolis? Is my family there? Who is behind this?" I said darkly. "That's the problem with you, you ask to many questions." Joker snickered. "Just tell me who's behind it!" I said loudly. "A man named Slade, you can say, he likes little birdies." Joker said with a gruesome smile. "Robin." I gasped. "He's all yours Batman." I said in a joking matter. "Thank you Astara." He said. I gasped and began to run to Metropolis. "Wait, do you mind telling Robin that I'll be visiting him soon." He said. "Of course!" I said with a smile.

"And that's the story." I said. "Wow, I can't believe he's coming here." Robin said. "Or, shall I say I am here." A voice behind them said. Robin gasped and turned around. "Batman!" He yelled. "How's my little robin?" Batman asked with a grin on his face. "Let's just say I'm not very little anymore." He replied. "Why hello to you too Robin." Said a girly voice. "Batgirl? You're here too?" He asked. "Of course! Why won't I be?" She asked. "I missed you guys so much!" He said as he hugged them both. " I want to introduce my friends." He said. "Raven, Beast Boy, Starfire, Cyborg, and Ace." Robin continued. "You mean Astara." Batman said. "How do you know that?" I said. "It's not very hard, Astara Foley-Grouselin." He responded. "Why did you tell them my name?" I asked. "Don't they have the right to know?" He asked. "They don't know Robin's name! Well I do, like you said, it's not very hard. Same as you." I said. "Wait, you know my name?" Robin asked. "I know all 3 of your names, Batman, Batgirl and you Robin." I answered. "Prove it." He said. "Fine, Batgirl is Barbara Gordon. Batman is Bruce Wayne. And you Robin, is Dick Grayson." I said. I started to take off my mask. "And I am Astara." I said as I left the room.
