Disclaimer: I wanted to write this story for quite some time, if you hate OCs then you probably won't like this story. Oh, and one more thing, I do not own the Teen Titans! P.S. the title is bad, I had no ideas for a title.
Friend or Foe (Prologue)
It was just a normal day at Titan Tower, crime was decreasing and the Titans were bored most of the time. Slade was defeated, Brother Blood was short-circuited, and Trigon was banished. It was when the Titans thought there were not going to be any more crime alerts someone triggered it. The crime alert came from Jump City Elementary School and a teacher was the one who alerted the Titans.
Once they got to the school it was in ruins. White bricks lay on the floor and glass was everywhere. A teacher ran up to them, she seemed worried, "She destroyed the school." She said as an ambulance came a picked up a brown-haired girl.
"Who did this?" Robin asked furiously. The teacher pointed to a running girl. "Hey! Freeze!"
The girl had dark long grey hair tied into a ponytail. Her eyes were light blue, around her neck was a moon-shaped locket. Her skin was a light shade of pinkish orange. She looked like an 8-year-old and was about 125cm (125cm=4'1, I think). She wore the school uniform of Jump City Elementary School, a black skirt, a white top, and black shoes.
The Titans chased her and tried not to hurt her since they didn't exactly know what happened. Cyborg fired a few nets at her but to their surprise, it moved to another direction, Raven noticed that it was the girl that moved the net. The girl levitated into the air, and from the looks of it, she doesn't have much experience with flying.
Starfire flew next to the girl, "We do not wish to hurt you, but if you continue the running then we will have to-" Starfire didn't finish what she was going to say. White sparks came from the girl's hands and Starfire was pushed onto the ground.
Robin then threw a grenade in front of her, causing her to fall hard onto the ground. "Raven, secure her."
"Azarath Metrion Zinth-" A piece of cloth gagged her before she could finish her spell.
Beast Boy turned into a gorilla and knocked the girl out. "Take her to the tower." Robin told Beast Boy. On the way to the tower, the cloth vanished and Raven was able to help Starfire get up. As soon as they arrived at the T-shaped tower Cyborg tied the girl to a bed and she was put in a secure room (The room is the place where the Titans put Raven in "The End part 1").
Nightfall soon came, the titans monitored her every move, not like she was moving a lot. "I have done some tests to try to find out how she got her powers." Cyborg continued, "All her teachers know is that she lived with her foster parents and don't know who her real parents are. I can't tell where she's from."
"Maybe I can help." Raven said suddenly, "I can read her mind and find out more about her." The other Titans nodded as Raven went inside the room, she sat close to the girl's head and started, "Azarath… Metrion… Zinthos…"
In the girl's mind:
"You are worthless, you hear me? Worthless!" That was the only thing that came from her foster parents, "I can see why your old parents got rid of you. Now, go to your room! I'll slide your dinner under the door." She walked up to her door, slammed the door shut and started crying. Her room was old and dirty, all there was, was a wooden floor, white torn up walls, and a rectangular window. A small white dove would visit her every day, each time her dinner was just a few grains of rice and some lettuce. Even though this was not much she would still give her little friend some rice grains.
From Monday to Friday she would go to school, weekends she was forced to stay in her room. Each day at school she would get picked on and bullied. "You have grey hair? Are you an old lady or something, Sylvina?" The bullies laughed, Sylvina was her name, it was carved into the moon-locket. Sylvina leaned against the lockers, getting punched and kicked each break. That wasn't the worst part, if she didn't get an A on her tests then her foster parents would hurt her.
She was always afraid to say anything, but one day when she couldn't take it anymore, the hands glowed and objects started to move when she thought of them. Luckily, she was crying in the bathroom so no one knew about this. She realized she had powers and tried to hide them. It worked most of the time but one bully went too far, "If you don't even know who your real parents are then you are just a nothing!" Her hands started to glow and before she knew it the school was blown up.
It wasn't long after a group of 5 found her and chased her all over the city. Sylvina was terrified because these people also had powers, before she knew it a huge explosion knocked her to the ground then a gorilla punched her and everything went black.
Raven soon finished reading her mind, the first words that came out of her mind were these, "She was misunderstood, an outcast, then her fear controlled her." Raven thought about what she saw, it was just a reflection of her own childhood. Lucky for Raven, Azar was able to help her control her powers, but Sylvina didn't have anyone that could help her, the worst part is she was still treated badly.
"Hey, Raven?" Beast Boy asked, Raven snapped out of her thoughts, "What did you see?"
Raven looked down, remembering how alike she and Sylvina were. "Her name is Sylvina, she was bullied at school and her parents weren't that nice to her. Once a bully took it too far and she lost control of her powers." Raven sighed, "If it wasn't for Azar then I would have also done the same."
Sylvina began to awaken, she looked around and found herself tied to a bed. "W-What do you w-want from me?" Were the only words that came out of her mouth. She saw them analyzing the moon-locket, "Hey! That's mine!"
"One thing's for sure, this necklace has magic inside of it." Cyborg said, "Think you can try one of your spells to reveal what's inside?" He looked at Raven.
Raven looked at the girl and shook her head, "This belongs to her, it might have been left over from her parents. If something bad happens to it I'm responsible." Cyborg nodded and handed Raven the moon-locket. Raven walked up to the girl and freed her from the bindings.
Sylvina's hands glowed white once more, "W-Who are you p-people?" Her voice hid some sounds of being scared. "W-Why did you r-read my mind?"
"We are the Titans." Raven handed Sylvina her locket, "I'm Raven, I know what you've been through and I want to help you."
"Raven, are you sure it's safe to help her?" Robin asked, "She tried to destroy us."
"She was afraid." Raven suddenly thought of something that would make Robin change his mind, "What would you do if Batman hadn't taken you in?"
"Fine." Robin replied, "Starfire, Beast Boy set up a new room. Cyborg, try to see if you can find out more about her. Raven, do what you have to do." The Titans left, leaving Raven with the 8-year-old.
"Follow me." Raven led Sylvina to her room. "So, what are your powers?" She asked once the door was shut.
Sylvina looked around, she was a bit scared of the decorations in Raven's room. "I'm not sure. All I know is that if I say something backward it happens, well, most of the time. I think that I can use my powers to make objects and levitate as well. I guess I can move things with my mind as well."
"Ok… that's a lot." Raven looked at her, she was looking around her room. "Mind giving a short demonstration?"
"Um… sure I guess." Sylvina was hesitant to use her powers. "Etativel um… siht puc." (Code to her powers: The order of the words is the same, just spelled backward.) And immediately the cup beside Raven's bed levitated. "I probably didn't need to say that and I could just move it with my mind." Sylvina's hands glowed white and a rose appeared. "You've seen me levitate and it could use some practice." She made the rose disappear. "The man robot said that my necklace has magic, what does that mean?"
"His name is Cyborg and what he means is that your real parents probably left a message or a clue of where they are or who they are." Raven replied.
"I know you didn't want to break it but will you please try to let the message come out?" Sylvina wanted to find out who her parents were.
"I think I can try." Raven used her powers to try to free the magic inside but nothing happened. "I'm sorry Sylvina, your necklace has a lock on it that only extremely powerful magic can open. I guess your parents wanted you to be the one who opens it, and I think your parents are very powerful, too." Sylvina looked down, disappointed. "Do you want to grab something to eat? I heard the Titans are going to a pizza place later."
"Pizza? Sounds great." Sylvina liked to eat pizza, actually, anything other than rice and lettuce would be good. Word got around that Sylvina was staying at Titan Tower and her foster parents were fine by that. "What are your friends' names?"
"The one who looks like a traffic light is Robin, he is also our leader and never takes off his mask. The boy with green skin and pointy ears is Beast Boy, he can shapeshift into any animal he wants. The half-robot half-man is Cyborg, he has a lot of technology that can come in handy. And the pink haired girl is Starfire, she is an alien so her English isn't that great." Raven replied.
"How about you? What's your introduction?" Sylvina looked at Raven.
"Don't scream when you hear this." Sylvina nodded, "I'm a half-demon. I grew up on Azarath and was trained by Azar, my father is Trigon and my mother is a human."
"A-Are you going to h-hurt me?" Sylvina stepped back, she had heard legends of Trigon the Terrible before.
"No, no," Raven assured. "I never wanted to hurt anyone, but I always end up being the one that ends it all." Raven looked down. "So, do you want some pizza or not?" Sylvina nodded and they both walked out of the tower.
Note: Hope you liked this. If not then sorry, I'll do better. Feel free to leave any suggestions I can use to put in this story (I'll give you credit if I use your idea). I have a question and I need an answer so please answer my question, thanks!

Please review, that would mean a lot to me.
