Chapter One

Washed Ashore

It wasin the wee hours of the nightalong the slow moving waters before Jump City. It was a city frequently stricken by attacks perpetrated by monsters and super villains. However the people of the city usually lay their fears to rest because a team of protectors called the Teen Titans takes careful watch from their T shaped tower on a small island. Not far past the large bridge a stream of light shot out from the sky and landed in the water. The shock created a sizable wave for about fifty feet. Floating along the waters edge was what looked like a person. Her long red hair spread about her like a sheet and her limp form bounced along the surface of the water. The wind picked up and the mysterious person unknowingly sailed on over to the island of Titans Tower.

IN TITANS TOWR……………..

Robin's mouth stretched all he way to the floor as he let out a hue yawn. With effort he closed his mouth and walked out of his room. He, along with the rest of the Titans had been through a really long day. First they had to stop a guy called Dr. Light from blinding everyone in the city. Next Mr. Freeze decided to pay a visit from Gotham and almost permanently put the Titans on ice. And finally they had to put away some maniac who tired to beat the record for the most banks robbed in he shortest amount of time. He would've done it to had they shown up just ten seconds later then they did. Needless to say some if not all of the Titans were extremely exhausted. Robin blindly made his way down the hall and accidentally bumped into Raven.

"Whoa! Sorry Raven didn't see you there." He helped her up, picked up a small stack of books she was carrying and handed them to her.

"Thanks, but if you don't mind me asking; why are you up?"

"I've decided to take a walk that's all."

"At one thirty in the morning?"

"So what? Besides what are you doing up right now," he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I couldn't sleep so decided to get a book or two. You know fearless leader you really should be getting rest right now." Robin shook his head and pushed on past her.

"Maybe I couldn't sleep either," he said quietly. Raven shrugged her shoulders and started back to her room. Robin walked down the hall and let out a faint "Hmph!" 'Just what does she know, she spends all her free time reading and meditating,' thought Robin. He had been a friend with his fellow teammates since he Titans first formed but there were times when he felt utterly alone. There didn't seem to be a single one in the whole city let alone Titans Tower who could understand or comfort him. Because of some memories of his past Robin was prone to terrible nightmares, some reminding him of things he had tired hard to forget. He made his way past the lines of chairs in the entrance hall and outside of the tower. He had often turned to taking a walk; it didn't do much but it was better than nothing.

Robin walked along the shoreline watching the waves move back and forth. He sort of felt like those waves, each time they came so close to reaching their goal but came up short every time. Robin stopped and picked up a handful of small rocks. He skipped a couple across the water, some going farther than others. He reached back to skip his last one but dropped it instead. He sighed after a while and decided to do what he had always done; go back inside and forget about it for a while.

Robin dropped the small stone and as he walked back up to the tower glance off to the side. He then did a double take when he saw something washed up on the shore, that something looked like a person. "Oh my God!" He scrambled back down the hill and over to the person. He knelt down and turned over the limp form and saw the most beautiful unconscious face he had ever seen.

"Wow," he let out quietly. He examined he from head to toe and noticed a series of cuts and bruises on her arms and legs. However the one that caught his eye was a small gash on the side of her head. She had to be dead, there was no way anyone could suffer wounds like this and survive.

"Uuuggh……." Robin jumped slightly from her faint groan. He put a finger to her neck and nodded.

"Your alive, I'd better get you someplace warm." He gathered up the sleeping girl in his arms and carried her up to the tower. Unbeknownst to him he was being watched by a pair of very narrow eyes not far from their island. They blinked and moved away from their hiding place.

BACK IN THE TOWER………………

The young girl lay on a bed in sickbay, surrounding her were Robin, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy. They had all gathered when Robin brought her in and spontaneously activated medical alert.

"You found her where," asked Cyborg.

"She was washed up on the beach," said Robin. "Raven can you do anything about these wounds?" Raven took a look at her then nodded.

"Yes, she should be fine soon. However the cut on her head is going to have to heal on its own. It's so deep I'm not sure what m powers would do to her brain activity."

"Fine, just do it." They all hinted the note of urgency in his voice but shrugged it off.

"Alright I need some room and some time alone," said the pale Titan. The boys walked on out leaving Raven to her work. Cyborg and Beast Boy yawned real big and started walking off.

"Aren't you coming," asked Beast Boy.

"You guys go, I think I'll wait here for a while." Cyborg and Beast Boy nodded and walked off to their rooms. Robin sat and watched Raven perform the healing process. After an hour and a half Raven waved to him through the observation window and went in. They stood on either side of the bed and looked her over.

"So, how's she doing?"

"I've managed to heal off her external wounds along with a minor sprained ankle, but like I said her head wound will have to heal on its own. But something I need to show you." She walked over to a wall light and pinned a series of x-rays on it. Robin looked around at them and shrugged.

"So what am I looking at?" Raven rolled her eyes and pointed to a spot on her skull.

"Her brain activity is exceeding more than a normal human being should. And her basic physiology just doesn't add up either. Robin…." He looked from the x-rays to Raven. "Whoever this is she's an extraterrestrial, she's an alien." Robin's mouth slacked open and turned his head back to their unconscious guest.

"Should we quarantine sickbay?"

"She doesn't seem to be carrying biological agents of any kind, I can't understand why she is up and about already." Robin thought for a moment then nodded his head.

"Alright it's really late, lets try to get some rest and we'll see how she is in the morning." Raven nodded and the two began to leave when they heard a loud gasp. Robin and Raven both turned and saw their guest's eyes wide open. They rushed over to her and Raven checked her heartbeat. As soon as the cold stethoscope touched her skin she began struggling blindly trying to get up.

"HOLD HER!" Shouted Raven preparing a sedative.

"L-LET ME GO," the girl shouted.

"Hey calm down! Calm down it's alright," cooed Robin. The girl caught sight of his face and stopped struggling. "No one's going to hurt you, I promise." Eyes wide with innocence the girl slowly nodded and swallowed. Robin looked up at Raven and shook his head at the sedative. Getting the message Raven put it away and went back to checking the girl's heart rate. Robin took the girl's hand and rubbed it comfortingly.

"My name is Robin and this is Raven," he said gesturing to her. The girl shot Raven a worried glance as though afraid of her. "What's your name?" She turned back to Robin and opened her mouth but stopped. "You're name, what is it?" After mouthing wordlessly the girl shook her head.

"I-I do not….know." After she said this her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she was again out cold. Robin set her hand down and looked up at Raven. Whoever this was, she was bound to change their lives forever.

How was that start? I hope it was good. In case you're wondering I did get the idea after watching the Bourne Identity. If you don't like then you don't have to read it. It's just one of those things I felt like putting together.
