Chapter 1: The Spark
I guess you could say it started with a spark, that spark being me. I have had a torturous past filled with pain, suffering, and electricity. But today I wish to end all that; for a new beginning, or a permanent end.
The Titans were tense with worry. It had seemed that Slade was back, and this time he was even more twisted than ever.
Suddenly an explosion ricocheted through the tower. Cyborg fell of his re-charging station, Beast Boy and Raven banged heads, and Starfire and Robin looked at each other in alert.
Slade was the word on everybody's lips, but they dared not say it out loud.
Robin ran outside to check the damage but what he sees astonished him. "Titans! Get out here!" He called to his teammates. When all the Titans were outside Robin pointed to the giant smouldering crater, which seemed to be created by something out of their world.
"An alien," Beast boy commented as his eyes tried to get accustomed to the harsh glare the crater was emitting.
Cyborg then sprinted up to the crater and started pushing away some of the rocks surrounding it. Then the rest of his team finally got the message and helped him clear the rocks. When the rocks were gone the Titans found themselves staring at a young woman, roughly their age, lying in a pool of blood and emitting what seemed to be very bright electric light.
All of a sudden the girls eyes fluttered open, and the electric light faded, but she seemed to be in a great deal of pain. Beast Boy quickly morphed into a horse and Cyborg eased the girl onto his back, while Raven used her powers to steady the girl. Robin carefully studied the girl as they all walked back into the tower, he didn't want to make the same mistake as with Terra. He gave one last look at the crater before shutting the tower doors, he didn't know if this mystery girl could be trusted.
"Her vitals seem to be okay, but she has lost a lot of blood in the cranial area," Cyborg updated Robin when he entered the medic room.
"Good," robin replied. "Beast Boy and Raven clean up the crater, then scout the area for foul play. Starfire you'll help me scan the monitors for Slade, and Cyborg you can stay here to tend to the girl," Robin instructed them.
Raven and Beast Boy left the room, and Cyborg went to get more cast wraps, leaving Robin alone with Starfire.
"May she be an alien species?" Starfire asked floating above the girl upside down, "but I have never seen her species before."
Robin shrugged. "I don't know Star, she looks like a regular human to me," he said, then took her hand and led her out of the room to track Slade. Cyborg returned to the empty room with the casts, and started cleaning up the girls wounds; 'maybe Raven can heal her' Cyborg thought to himself as he worked.
After nightfall the rest of the team returned to the medic room, but just as they entered the girl opened her eyes and rose on the hospital bed.
"Where am I?" she asked confused.
"You're safe now, it's okay," Beast Boy told her smiling softly. The girl returned the smile.
"Did you save me?" she asked. Then she gasped and yelled, "Where are they?! Are they coming for me again?!"
The team was in attack stance as she yelled, but laid off when they heard the desperation in her voice. Robin made his way over to the girl who stared back at him with fear and worry in her eyes.
"It's okay. No one is after you," Robin said to her, and her eyes softened. "Now can you tell us your name?" he asked as gently as he could.
The other titans gathered around her hospital bed in anticipating what she was about to say. Even Raven looked more than mildly interested.
The girl took a deep breath before speaking.
"M-my name is….."
