Hey all! This is new and my VERY first story! I love the Teen Titans, and Raven is one of my very favorite characters. So, needless to say, she'll have a big part in it. Just not right away.

Review your responses and yadayadayada. On with the story.

He shook his head, sending water droplets flying. The latest down pour had caught him on the streets-rather than in his newest hide out. The heavily tinted sunglasses concealed his eyes carefully, and his blond hair was still damp, but somehow was still spiked with tips of red and black. The city was surprisingly quiet; everyone was hiding from the rain. He wasn't to wet, just his hair was.

He was tired and hungry-that was for sure. How long had it been since he had run away?

To long.

Ignoring his thoughts, he continued down, cutting through the alleys. He just wanted to get back to the place where he stashed his bag at, and get some much needed sleep. But the silence couldn't last. Not that he minded. He preferred noise to the cold silence. He was use to the busy streets, the shouts and the violence. He wasn't use to the heavy quietness that hung over Jump City like a smothering blanket. Trouble seemed to lurk everywhere. Street gangs, robberies, abuse and drug dealings- it was all to much for him. He wanted to stop it. He had to stop it.

Listening closely to the noises, he picked up two voices. Female and cold.

Curiosity getting the better of him, he followed the voices he had heard, until he paused in the shadows. The first thing he saw was a girl. She had cropped hair that looked to be pure white, and a pair of near black eyes. She was tiny, probably failing to come up to his shoulders. She wore completely black attire, down to the black fingerless gloves, and to the old looking ring that glinted from the sun rays that were beginning to appear from behind the dark clouds.

She leaned up against the wall, looking at the ground. Her face was expressionless. And then, he saw the other girl. She had long and tangled hair, with a narrow pair of eyes that glinted grey. She face was twisted in rage, and her tall figure seemed to tower over the smaller girl. He could practically feel the rage burning from where he hid. The girl wore a strange red uniform

"-tch, how long did you think you could hide? You freak. It took me two months to find you, but I did. And you know what, bat freak? You are nothing but a coward. You can't even fight me." The taller girl hissed- her voice full of loathing and hatred. He cringed just listening to it. But the white haired beauty just looked up and glared.

"I may be blind, Nadine, but I would hate to remind you of every time I kicked sorry butt in battle." Her voice was full of emotion, full of careful rage. She looked like she was forcing herself to remain calm.

"I may not have caught you yet, but can you really run away from your past?" Her eyes narrowed even more, and started to spark red.

"Well, considering I don't remember half of my life…" She trailed off.

"Please. You can't run away from what you do remember. Even the Bat cannot play blind to what you did."

The white haired girl looked up and starred at the angered girl. She was silent for a few moments before whispering, "But I broke free. You never did."

Without warning she snapped, lunging at her opponent. Nadine, startled, stumbled backwards, but soon recovered.

Snapping her hands up, fire blasted outward, barely missing the 'Bat'.

The next thing was stranger.

She in return held up her hands, and a strange shield was created, enough energy making a foggy substance in front of her. Strange sounds reached his ears, angry then happy, then mourning, and one he had no name fore. The fire scraped off it, failing to meet its target. Nadine screamed in anger and lunged forward, fire hitting the other's arm.

"I will win!" Nadine howled in rage, smashing her fist and hitting the girl's eyes.

The white haired girl froze. She was stiff and Nadine started to back away. Fear froze over Nadine's face, opposing the anger on the other face. "No, Nadine, you will not win, not now, and not ever." She hissed.

The 'Bat' opened her mouth and screamed. But her voice began to pitch itself sharply; soon he found his head pounding, and his ears screaming. He collapsed to his knees, biting his lip hard enough to bleed.

And then it stopped. Moments passed before the pain went, and when it did, he opened his eyes.

She was kneeling down on the ground, unable to stand. The other girl, Nadine was collapsed on the ground, blood running from her ears.

And then, the white haired girl pitched side ways, and he could see her life force fading. She was exhausted. She needed to rest now.

Two mutants. One is trying to escape from someone and the other trying to capture her. Maybe he wasn't alone. He had been alone with his powers as long as he could remember, and now, the thought of others with powers filled him with longing.

But blind? Was she really blind? And her voice… sonar abilities maybe?

Picking her up, he swung her over his shoulder and began carrying her to his new home.

A giant T shaped Tower waited for them.
