Author's Note: I know that it's been a while since I've been on here, but I'm snowed in and this idea's been bugging me all day. If no one reviews, I won't post any more. If someone takes pity on the poor bored writer, I'll continue.
Welcome to My Side of the River
Sonya
I stared up at the tower. The foreboding T towered over Jump City, comforting, and yet really, really creepy.
I took a deep breath, shutting down all thought so that I couldn't tell myself that it was a bad idea. Then, I walked up to the door.
And knocked.
Several yells of "NOT IT!" greeted me, and one happy laugh of "I get to receive the bells of entrance!"
"Doorbell, Starfire. Doorbell." Said another voice.
The door slid open, to reveal Starfire of the Teen Titans. "May I help you?" Starfire seemed confused.
"Who is it Star?" Asked a voice I recognized as Robin.
"I don't know. A stranger." She replied, still staring at me.
"WHAT! A STRANGER! Star, you gotta be kidding. No stranger can get past my…" Cyborg stopped short as he saw me standing there, with the wreck of his defense system standing behind me. "Defense system?!" He choked out.
Beast Boy, predictably, did a little happy dance right there in the doorway. "FINALLY! Someone beat Cy's 'all-powerful' defense system!"
Raven was right behind her boyfriend. She calmly took in the scene behind me, and looked at me with a blank expression. "Who did you say you were, again?" She asked in her usual monotone.
Robin jumped in front of everyone easily. "Yeah, who are you anyway? Are you working for Slade?"
That last comment was followed by groans and cries of "Robin!" And "Not again!"
"I'm not working for Slade or anyone else evil."
"Then why are you here?" Raven was obviously not the diplomatic type.
I took a deep breath…
And burst into flames.
