Lost And Found
Chapter 1- The Return
Lightning lit up the dark and stormy sky above jump city. Thunder would rumble every now and again while heavy rain slicked the buildings and streets. In a small apartment on the edge of town, a young girl laied in her bed asleep. From a distance, she looked to be peaceful, but upon a closer look, one would see she was fitful. Long blonde locks would bunch and tangle as her head tossed from side to side. Small wimpers left her lips as the rest of her body moved on it's own. Large blue eyes snapped open with a gasp, the girl shooting straight up in bed.
"Those dreams." she whispered to herself. "What do they mean?" her gaze fell upon her dresser, a silver butterfly clip shimmered slightly in the artificial light of her lamp. The girl stood and walked toward the object, inspecting it carefully. She'd always had it, but didnt remember where it came from or when she'd gotten it. The girl nervously slid it into her hair, holding back her bangs. The second the clip was in place, her hands glowed bright yellow. This startled the girl and she fell backwards onto the floor. Her dresser, which was made of marble, seemed to float in midair.
Her mind then wandered to a few weeks before. A green changeling had come to her school, claiming that he knew her, calling her by a name she didn't remember. He'd pled with her to come with him, saying she was a hero. She'd refused the offer, saying she wasn't the person he thought she was, only an adverage school girl. Now, she was starting to rethink her decision.

Deep emerald eyes opened lazily when morning came. Beast Boy stretched and jumped from his bunk bed to the floor, heading toward the kitchen. The smell of Cyborg's meat breakfast was almost enough to make the changeling gag, but he suffered through it. The metal man stood over the stove top finishing up a platter of bacon and eggs. Robin and Bohusk sat contently on the sofa, flipping through tv stations, Raven and Falcon were seated at the table, quietly sipping thier tea while reading the morning news and Starfire busied herself with preparing Silkie's breakfast. The doorbell sounded from downstairs.
"I'll get it." Falcon called, disapearing into a flame of white aura.
"We expectin' Joy and AJ?" Gar asked, sliding into his seat beside Raven.
"Not that im aware of." she replied, not taking her eyes off the article she was reading. "But those two are always comming up with excuses to slip away from Titans East to see us." She looked up when the doors to the living room opened, revealing her sister and a thin blonde with blue eyes. The Titans stood dumbfounded as they stared at the newcomer.
"Robin, this girl asked to speak with you." Vanessa spoke. A second later, she found the blonde torn from her side and pushed against a wall with Raven's black aura surrounding her throat.
"What are you doing here!" Raven growled, her hold on the girl tightening. Robin approached the two, motioning for the empath to loosen her grip.
"Explain yourself." he spat gruffly to the blonde. She swallowed thickly and spoke carefully.
"I want help."
"Help with what? World domination?" Cyborg rebuttled, rolling his one silver eye in annoyance.
"No. Beast Boy came to my school a few weeks ago, claiming he knew me. Saying i was a hero. I dont remember ever being one, but i do have powers." she lifted her glowing hands as to prove her point. She nearly jumped out of her skin when a very flustered and babbling Swift decided to break through the window.
"AJ was right!" The clone cried. AJ and Joy entered through the broken glass and sighed in unison.
"Girl, how many times have i ya not to break through the window!" Cyborg cried, assessing the damage the youngest Roth caused.
"94, but who's counting." she shrugged.
"Becca, love, I only said I thought I saw Terra," AJ said huffily," no need to break the...damnable- cripes its her!"
"Wohoo we found the blondie," Joy deadpanned," What's the big deal?"
"She betrayed them is the big deal!" Becca cried, livid as Raven was," I remember Ness and Jhon tellin me stories, bad ones about her... When AJ said she had a vision about someone named Terra I rushed here!"
"This is Terra?" Falcon asked, glaring at the blonde with intention to kill.
"Yeah, and she better have a damn good excuse for being here!"
"I do! Please hear me out!" Terra begged, tears rolling down her cheeks in fear of being crushed by the Roth women's rath. Robin motioned for her to continue.
"I've been having nightmares ever since I met Beast Boy. I keep seeing a man wearing a dark mask. He tells me that I failed him, I betrayed the only people to ever see me as a friend and commited high crimes that can't be forgiven." she started to softly sob as her story continued. "Then, last night, i discovered I can move earth. I came here to learn how to control it."
"Does the name Slade ring any bells?" Robin asked, looking directly into Terra's eyes for any sign that she's lying. She shook her head.
"Im aware you dont remember much of your past, but that dosent change the fact you tried to distroy us. You're allowed to stay here, but you will be under strict supervision at all times." Terra nodded in agreement. "Falcon, would you show Terra to her quarters?" The blue eyed Roth scowled in irritation, but obeyed her leader.

Falcon led the blonde through the corridors of the Tower, comming to a stop in front of a door with 'Terra' embossed on the outside.
"This is your old room." everything was exactly the way Terra had left it almost a year ago. Dust covered everything in a fine layer, the curtains were drawn so the room was dark and musky and a crystal box in the shape of a heart sat in the middle of the bed.
"Thanks, Falcon." Terra smiled warmly, but was met with an icy glare.
"You might have fooled Robin into believing you," Vanessa spat coldly. "But i'm not so easily convinced. This is your only warning. You make one wrong move, one step out of line, and i'll make sure whatever game you're playing comes to a screeching halt." Terra's face blanched, realizing the girl in front of her was more than capable of carrying out her threat. Falcon left without another word, heading to her own room. She draped her snow white cloak over a chair and stripped out of her uniform, pulling on black sleep shorts and a blue lace tanktop. She was asleep soon after climbing into bed. Unaware of the black and orange figure appearing from the shadows. A dark hand placed a small chip on opal sun pendant attached to her choker.
"Awake, my dear." came a ghostly baritone voice. Ice blue eyes snapped open, lifting herself from the bed. "Come, we have work to do." With a flick of the man's wrist, both were gone.
Maiden- So this is a little different from Search and Find, but still has the mysterious and angsty feel. And for those of you who don't know, Swift aka Rebecca Roth, is a clone made of Raven, Falcon and Bohusk. Her debut fic is 'Two Halves Equal A Whole' if you're interested in finding out how she got here! R&R!
