A/N: Hello everyone, this is the Quill of the King and this is my first ever fanfic. I am really happy to finally get this out there for you all to read. Now I know that I am not the best writer in the world and I have no aspirations to become that (especially considering that it would be virtually impossible to do so) but I do wish to improve my skills as a writer. You can help with that by leaving some criticism but please only constructive criticism (any flames will be ignored). If you feel that I am lacking in a certain area in writing, leave a comment about it and I will work on improving in that area. Now the story takes place in an AU of the television show so of course the events will be different. Don't get mad if some of the events from the show aren't in this. Well I think that is enough rambling on so here we go; I don't own the Teen Titans show or any characters within this fanfic except for my own O.C's. Enjoy.

Kindred Spirits

"Can I help you?" I said to the busty goth that had sat down at my table. She was wearing a black spaghetti strap shirt that revealed a fair bit of her cleavage and black jeans that showed off her figure. She had blonde hair, brown eyes and fairly colored skin for a goth. She was smiling lustfully and emphasizing her cleavage.

She giggled flirtatiously and answered, "You could tell me your name, your favorite color, and whether or not you're available."

I looked back down at my book as I said, "None of your business, silver, and single but not interested." And what I said was the truth, as I had no intention of dating a bimbo like her. I would rather be caught breaking into Fort Knox than dating a girl like her, no matter how hot they are or how far they are willing to go.

"Oh, come on cutie. You know you want me," the girl persisted, bringing herself closer to me while staring at me like I was a piece of meat. I suppose in a way, I was a piece of meat to her.

I just said, "Funny, cause I actually don't." Just then my order number for the pizzeria was called out, so I went to get my pizza and brought it back to my table. The girl had gone back to sit with her friends who were constantly glancing at me and giggling. I rolled my eyes and started to eat. As I was eating, I thought back to how I came to this city.

I had recently finished a case where a billionaire's youngest daughter was missing. I managed to track her down and rescue her from a cult that wanted to rape and impregnate her as part of a bogus ritual. The cult in question was seriously nuts, I mean the billionaire's daughter was only twelve years old. Twelve freaking years old and they wanted to have sex with her! Pedophiles are sick and creepy people. Anyways, in an effort to get her back, the cult had set my house on fire and it burnt to the ground. I still managed to beat them and they were arrested for arson and attempted murder. As thanks for saving his daughter, the billionaire offered to let me and my parents live in his penthouse suite here in Jump City. My parents agreed and we moved to the city.

"If I had known it would be like this I would have said no," I thought to myself. Even back home I had people flirting with me but here it got ten times worse. When we were moving into the suite, the billionaire's oldest daughter, who was around seventeen years old was helping us and she locked us in the bathroom alone. She attempted to seduce me as thanks for saving her sister but I was no stranger to being seduced so it didn't work.

When I got to the last few pieces, they had gone cold so I whispered, "Calidum cibum meum," and finished the pizza. I was about to leave when one of the girls came up to me and, assuming that she was trying to goad me into dating her, I said, "Not interested."

She just giggled and said, "Actually, I came to give you this." She gave me a business card for a place called The Dark Forest. "I couldn't help but notice the book you're reading. The Dark Forest is sort of a combination between a bookstore and a cafe. I work there and we have a ton more books like that and it also is a pretty good hangout spot."

I looked at the business card and said, "Hmm, I'll check it out later. I'm new here."

She nodded and said, "I'll see you there." She turned around and went back to her friends, who seemed to bombard her with questions. I shook my head and left the pizzeria.

As I was walking back to the penthouse, I heard a firetruck in the distance and saw smoke coming from one of the buildings. I ran over to the scene and saw a building was on fire. Some fire fighters were holding back a woman wearing a bathrobe and slippers who was screaming, "No! My baby is in there! Let me go! My baby is in his bedroom! Somebody please, please save my little Andy!"

At the mention of a child being inside the burning building, I jumped over the safety barrier and said, "Da mihi celeritate, da mihi ignis praesidio." This rendered myself twice as fast as normal and fire proof, so I ran inside the building. When I got inside, it was really hot. The fire would touch my skin and I would feel the heat but I wouldn't get burnt. I looked around and saw a flight of stairs leading up so I immediately climbed them as fast as I could. I got upstairs and the floor was burning in some places, while others were burnt away. I looked around and saw three doors, the closest of which was labeled Andy. I ran over to the door and attempted to open it. The door was stuck, however, so I placed my hand on the lock and shouted, "Recludam!" The door opened easily afterward and I ran inside the room. Inside the ceiling had collapsed with a crossbeam blocking off half of the room. I heard crying so I grabbed the burning crossbeam and said, "Da mihi virtutem." With my strength enhanced, I was able to lift the crossbeam quite easily. I lifted the crossbeam high enough to rest on a shelf and formed a hole big enough to crawl under. When I got through I saw a Pack-n-Play and ran over to it. Sure enough, the baby was in there so I grabbed him, went under the crossbeam and ran towards the stairs. Before I got to them, they collapsed so I ran to the last bedroom, threw open the door and jumped out the window just as an explosion occurred. The way I had jumped caused me to go into a flip so I shouted, "Irritum cadunt!" This spell caused me to fall slowly enough that I would be sure to land on my feet without getting hurt.

The baby's mother turned to me when she saw me land, said, "Andy? Andy!" and ran to me seeing the bundle in my hands.

Conveniently my hood was up, so as to not reveal who I was I whispered, "Et abscondam faciem meam. Voce mea absconderis." This created sort of a magical veil that shrouded my face in shadow and distorted my voice. I turned around and handed the baby off to her as I said, "There you go, safe and sound."

The woman took him into her arms and said, "My little Andy, thank you, thank you."

I smiled and replied, "There's no need to thank me. I'm just helping out."

The fire chief walked over to me and inquired, "That took guts kid, but I have to ask, how did you do all of that? I mean, you ran so fast nobody could stop you, you didn't get burned at all even when the fire was touching your skin and clothes, and you jumped out of a three-story building yet you landed as if it was only two feet. What's your secret?"

"Magic," I said smugly. Then I whispered, "Absconde me a conspectu," which rendered me invisible, allowing me to slip away unseen. I went into a nearby alley way about two blocks away from the excitement and muttered, "Interficiam omnes auguria." This removed all enchantments that I had placed on myself. I walked back to the penthouse intending to finish unpacking.

Meanwhile (Raven's POV):

It was a normal day with me meditating while levitating above my bed and whispering my "signature" words, "Azarath Mentrion Zinthos," every couple of seconds, when I got this indescribable, powerful feeling in my chest. My eyes snapped open and I fell onto my bed after my concentration broke. "What the hell was that?" I said to nobody in particular. After a second I went back to meditating when ten minutes later, I heard a knocking on my door and knew that it was Beast Boy.

"Hey Raven there's a fire in town. Come check out the news footage," Beast Boy said. Knowing that he would keep nagging me until I left my room, I sighed and followed Beast Boy into the living room. Sure enough on the television there was a house on fire surrounded by firetrucks and news vehicles.

Having seen enough I was about to go back to my room when I saw a woman on the television scream, "No! My baby is in there! Let me go! My baby is in his bedroom! Somebody please, please save my little Andy!" My eyes widened and I was about to fly over to the house to save the baby when I got that feeling again but this time it was weaker. At the same time I saw someone charge into the building twice as fast as a normal person. I felt the feeling two more times before the boy jumped out of the top floor of the building with the feeling coming at the same time. The feeling came again and the boy handed the baby to the mother. Then the fire chief approached the boy and a few seconds after he disappeared and the feeling came at the same time. Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg and I all wore expressions of shock on our faces while Starfire was smiling as if it was Christmas. Robin and I were the first ones to recollect ourselves.

Robin turned and said, "Well it appears as if there is a new teen superhero in town. Thoughts?"

"Yay! We have a new friend!" was Starfire's response.

Cyborg simply said, "I wonder if he likes video games?"

"Maybe there will finally be someone who actually laughs at my jokes," Beast Boy contemplated.

Going over the feelings that I have been having when the new superhero has used his powers, I respond with, "He doesn't make any sense."

Everyone turned to me and Robin asked, "What makes you say that Raven?"

"Well whenever he uses his powers I get this weird feeling in my chest. It isn't painful nor is it pleasurable, it just is. I can't really explain it," I explain.

Beast Boy looked at me curiously and, in a rare moment of maturity and clarity, asked, "Could it be that he is using magic?" We all look at him shocked at the intelligence behind the statement and he replied, "What? I mean think about it. Part of your abilities are to sense other people and we haven't encountered any other magic users. Maybe this is what it feels like to sense a magic user?" (A/N: Jinx's powers are probability manipulation not magic. Her hex bolts are her changing the probability of a certain event happening or not happening.)

"Maybe," I replied. Whether or not he's right, one thing is for sure: things were going to get a lot more interesting in Jump City.

A new superhero in Jump City? What will happen with the Titans and Lucas? And what is the feeling Raven has when Lucas uses his magic? You'll just have to read more and find out.
