ONE WEEK-

CHAPTER ONE: MEET LEAH

"But I don't want to teach any girl shape shifter," Beast Boy cried with exasperation, "I have more important things to do."

"You have to," Robin replied, "She's joining the Titans and still doesn't have full control of her powers."

"B-b-b-u-t," Beast Boy stammered, "I don't WANT to."

At that moment a light bulb broke plunging the two boys into total darkness, as soon as the light came back on, they noticed Raven standing in the doorway.

"You are acting like a child," Raven said softly.

"They want me to teach some dumb ass girl to use her powers," Beast Boy explained.

"Her powers are the same as yours," Robin said, "And we want to avoid disaster."

Beast Boy mumbled something rude under his breath, but before anyone could react, the doorbell rang.

"That must be her now," Robin said happily, going to open the door, "Come on, don't you guys want to meet Leah."

"I'll pass," Beast Boy said coldly.

"Childish," Raven muttered again, following Robin to the door.

When they swung open the door they weren't fully prepared for what they saw. A short girl stood on the steps, she had green hair braided down her back, and pair of large black sunglasses on, her clothes was torn and muddy, and she was clutching a large rock.

"Hi," Robin said reaching out to shake her hand.

Instead of talking, she stared at his hand, at least that's what it looked like, the large glasses made it so the Titans could not see there guests eyes. Pushing past Robin and Raven she walked straight into the living room, where Beast Boy was sitting.

"Freak," Beast Boy muttered.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY," Leah yelled, her voice was cold and hard, she defiantly didn't have people skills.

Immediately the small frail figure of Leah was replaced with a large green dragon.

"Whoa," Beast Boy yelled shocked as the figure lumbered toward him.

"Leah," Robin yelled, "Calm down, no one is going to hurt you."

The dragon let out a puff of smoke through its nose, and immediately Leah's figure was standing in front of them. She quickly smoothed down her hair, and stalked out of the room, with everyone's eyes still following her.

~*~*~*~*~*

"She's a nutcase," Beast Boy insisted.

"No," Raven corrected him, "Right now her powers are based on emotion, just like me."

"If you expect me to spend five minutes in a room with her then," Robin cut off Beast Boy's voice.

"Star," Robin began, "Go check on Leah, make sure she's settled in."

"Of course, "Star said in a sweet voice, flying towards the stairs.

As she neared the door of the room in which Leah was staying, she could still here the boys arguing below her.

"Leah, friend," Star said knocking on the door," Are you in here."

"Go away," came a cold voice.

"Please let me come in," Star said, "I wish to speak with you."

The door swung open and Star walked in.

Staring at Leah, she saw that instead of sunglasses, Leah had wrapped a cloth around her eyes.

"How can you put that bandage on your eyes," Star said softly, "You can see, can't you."

"Of course I can see," Leah shot back at her, "What right do you have to go poking into other people's business."

"I'm sorry," Star replied.

"You should be," Leah's cold voice sent a chill through Starfire, she had the sudden urge to go hug the small girl and show her she wasn't alone., but she held back, afraid of a surge of emotion. "You'll like Beast Boy," Starfire said, trying to strike up a conversation, "He is very funny."

"I don't care," Leah said, "I'm not looking to make friends, I am looking to perfect my powers, not get all chummy with a green comedian."

"I should be going now," Starfire said softly.

Leah just nodded, and Starfire quickly ran into the hallway where the warmth engulfed her and the evil presence was gone.
