Author's note: Anywho. I know this is a really cliché beginning, but I have some writers block, so... Yeah. Im sorry that the chaper is kind of short too... They'll get longer.
It was a night like those horror in movies were made of in the Titans Tower, with rain pouring down in sheets outside, and the dark clouds blotting out the moon and the stars. And all of the 'hundred-story building's occupants were just plodding off to bed when they heard at the door bell sound. They all gave each other sidelong glance, and all were thinking, who would be at the door now? None of them had the slightest clue to this question but Robin was the first to head to the gigantic double doors that were the main entrance into their household.
They had just gotten to the front doors when once again; there was a loud knocking at the door. Cyborg thus hastened to punch the access codes in that would allow them to open the door. By the time he had entered them all in Beast Boy was tapping his foot with impatience.
The doors slowly slid open, and the only sounds to be heard were those of the screaming winds and rains outside of the house, and the slow, heavy gears whirring and creaking to get the doors open. When the doors finally did open, there was a slight figure standing before them.
She was wearing a black jacket the was zipped up all the way and with the hood on over a dark baseball cap which was pulled down over the eyes, so all you could see of her face were her rosy lips, and the rest of her lower face. She was also wearing a pair of very dirty, very worn out jeans that were almost more hole than denim. They couldn't quite tell what she was wearing under her hoodie, but from the edges peaking out of the bottom of the jacket, it looked like a dark, maybe black shirt.
She took a slow step forward, and the Titans tensed up as if expecting something, or anything to happen. "Are you the Teen Titans?" She asked
"Yes…" was Robin's hesitant response. There were so many were so many questions that swarmed his mind right now. Who is this girl? Why does she want to know who we are? Why is she even here? Among many others, but he only asked one, "Why do you want to know?"
"I was wondering if I could spend the night here… I asked around the city but apparently kindness is not a virtue for people here. But one man was kind enough to not slam the door in my face and pointed me here." Came her reply in a matter-o-fact tone, "I can pay…"
"I don't think so—"Robin started, but he was cut of by her voice.
"Please? Its raining and I have no where else to stay. I won't cause any trouble," She said pleadingly. Robin didn't want to turn this girl out into the pouring rain, but he didn't want to let her bring any harm to him or his friends either. He turned around to look at the very people he was trying to protect, and met their eyes.
"Well, what do you guys think?" He asked in a tone he thought the girl wouldn't hear. They all nodded hesitantly, even Raven, although she did it with a scowl. He turned back to the mysterious girl and said, "You can stay, but for one night only. Understood?"
"Yes! Thank you very much," She said, a wide smile spreading across her face. She then bowed hastily, and deeply, and as she did so a long silver braid of hair fell out of her jacket that had been keeping it in place.
"Uh… How old were you again?" Came Beast Boy's slow reply to her slightly abnormal hair color. She sounded young, but silver hair? He thought to himself. And although they could not see it, she blushed a beet red under her cap.
"Oh, well… It runs in my family… I'm only 17…"
"Don't worry about it. Beast Boy here just big mouth, dontchya, BB?" Cyborg said, hitting Beast Boy in the back of the head with one of his massive, metallic hands. She smiled broadly, revealing fangs which no one but Robin and Raven seemed to notice, and stifled a giggle while Beast Boy rubbed the swelling lump on the back of his head.
"Well do not stand there, come in new friend!" Starfire said enthusiastically, ushering their guest in.
They all walked through the large double doors and back into the living room of the Tower, where the guest for the night would spend the remainder of the evening. And Robin thought up a question that hadn't even crossed his mind before then.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Oh, right. I'm Sarai. And what are you names again?"
"Well, I'm Robin; this is Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire." Robin replied, pointing to each of his friends in turn.
"It is very nice to meet you all." Sarai said in a sincere tone, while she absent-mindedly stroked her hip length braid of silver hair. They stood in an awkward silence for a few minutes before Starfire spoke up.
"Before we go and hit the hay would you like some clothes that are not full of rain?" Said Starfire.
"That would be nice, thank you," Sarai gave another small smile.
"I will take your jacket and your cap, milady." Beast Boy said in a suave voice, raising his eyebrows suggestively. And reaching to take her hat, she sidestepped his reach and he stumbled, but not before he managed to tilt the visor upwards to reveal unnatural silver-blue eyes with cat like pupils. The Titans all let out gasps of various degrees, except Raven who's own eyes showed shock, but only momentarily.
"What are you?" Came Raven's monotone voice. Sarai managed to stutter out a few syllables, but was cut off by a chorus of the question from all of the Titans.
"Do you promise you won't kick me out if I tell?"
"That depends on your answer." Robin replied in a suspicious tone as he got ready for a fight. Depending on who, or what, this girl was, it could mean trouble.
"Fine…" She said in a defeated tone as she removed her hat.
