Tattered Memories

Chapter 1: You're Invited

Nine years. Nine long, seemingly endless, unforgettable years since the Titans disbanded. None of it was expected, everything just collapsed all of a sudden. The light bickering among roommates ended up with nights being cold and lonesome for each one of them. All of the tension seemed to be building up in every single last nerve that they had left in their bodies. The team, and their friendships, ended after an old friend of Robin's came to visit, Barbara Gordon.

Starfire left a couple of days after Barbara came. She couldn't take the frustration of seeing her closest friends about to chew each other's heads off, along with that horrid looking she-beast always being around, and decided to just leave in the dead of night. It even seemed like no one missed her for all anyone knew. The life in the tower brought by her seemed to be replaced by solemn grief and sadness. The one person who tried to mend the broken souls, who actually tried to understand each and every one of them, was gone. Simply gone…

Tamaran

The banging on the door grew louder and more impatient, but Kori simply ignored it. She didn't feel like doing the usual protocol today. Looking at the pink ceiling, the half-awake princess just lied in bed waiting for just about anything to occur, just not protocol.

Ever since Koriand'r returned to Tamaran eight years ago she had been helping her nanny, Galfore, rule Tamaran. But the days grew weary to her; there was no adventure, no excitement to look forward to. Just the same boring protocol every, single day. She was 25 for Pete's sake! Kori needed to be out in the universe being her spirited self, having uncontrollable FUN!!

"Koriand'r, you need to get up and help me assemble the royal court!" an exasperated voice yelled out, it was Galfore. Obviously he was expecting better of her.

"Can I skip my duties for today?" she questionably asked, her covers beginning to be pulled over her head. When she left the tower, Kori realized how the world really was on Earth. Seeing this, the naïve little alien, didn't seem so naïve anymore. Galfore, still having a nanny side to him let her stay in bed, and walked off swiftly to the royal court.

Relief swept over her when she heard his footsteps become more distant. The day is all to herself, so what to do…………. Kori slowly got up and began to greet the day, oh the so thrilling day. She began to rifle through her dressers trying to find something not so… typical. Scrambling around her room, she began to cause shadows to gracefully dance along her pink shaded walls. Each article of clothing didn't feel or look right in any way to her emerald green eyes. Kori eyed herself in the mirror, none of the clothes she had on Tamaran felt right. That's when her eyes shifted to her closet. The closet, the one she hadn't opened in eight years. The ONE filled with memories she tried to forget. The ONE that was filled with certain things that caused her so much pain.

The closet, the one place Kori wouldn't dare to enter. It was filled with memories on Earth. The tattered memories that were so hard to forget, the ones mainly recalled were ones with not so happy endings, and one of the sole things that tore her apart. All of her things from the Tower were shoved in there and filled up the entire closet.

The princess slowly reached out for the doorknob, curiosity overwhelming her. She looked in to find her many souvenirs from what used to be her favorite planet.

"Why did I buy so much junk?" she said aloud to herself, forming a smug look on her face as she walked into the closet.

'Could this closet be any bigger or deeper?' The thought suddenly emerging from her head. The walls were lined with clothes, various knick-knacks, and some pictures from the glory days of the Teen Titans. A specific picture of them smiling all together (with the exception of Raven, who wasn't the photogenic type) caught her now bright, emerald eyes. Her eyes layed upon the five of them, and a soft smile appeared on her face. The girl's focus though began to shift to her old teammate, Robin. The gaze stayed there until her face grew red with embarrassment. It had been a while since she actually thought about him. Nine years she'd been gone, and now she was still thinking of him!? Did she still like him at all? Avoiding the question she hastily continued the safari through her wild jungle of a closet, refusing to wage a battle in her mind over the ones who had caused her so much grief. A slight beeping just then began to fill her ears. The sound grew louder and louder as she came deeper and deeper into the closet.

That sound. Kori hadn't heard that sound in over nine years. The beeping was intense now, the sound matching the rhythm of her wildly beating heart, the sound rising and falling with the same repetitive sound.

Clunk

The alien turned sharply to her left. Her old transmitter was lying on the floor; apparently the beeping had made it vibrate right off of the shelf where it had previously been lying undisturbed. Cautiously and slowly, she picked up the still vibrating and beeping transmitter. The last time she had used it was eight years ago when she told Galfore that she'd be coming home. Her thumb slipping onto the touch screen brought the little machine to life. The constant beeping finally ceased from the touch, causing a message to appear. The background was in solid red, and the letters were nice, crisp, and gold.

It simply read:

You are invited to a reunion for theTeen Titans

On May 28- June 4

Meet At Jump City Park

All services and accommodations will be provided

Bring own clothes and toiletries

To RSVP send this back with the name of the person attending below.

A reunion? The thought began to swish inside her head as her confusion and excitement began to grow. Someone was calling the former and original Teen Titans for a reunion! But with that thought grew questions. How did someone find this frequency? Why now? And why didn't they mention who they were? Kori's insides were going to bust out of her and scream with the happiness of the chance of seeing her old friends. This event brought the chance of making up with the other former Titans. Wait… That date… May 28… That's Today!

The holder of those emerald-eyes spotted her old, familiar pink backpack. Grabbing it she threw in clothes in haste that she found that were cute or practical. Rummaging threw a pile of clothes left on the floor she found a purple crop top, a jeans mini skirt, and some purple flats. She was going to have to fly there in record time, just to get to Earth. And there was no possible way she'd be able to RSVP right now. Kori ran out of the closet with the backpack and the recently found outfit and prepared to set for Earth. Throwing on her 10-second outfit on, she made sure she had enough clothes to last her a week.

Fully dressed and ready to go, she pulled out a crash suit out from underneath her bed. At the speed she was going to have to fly at, there was no question if she was going to crash into the planet like last time. Sliding into the silver, fitting suit, she slipped on her pink backpack, grabbed the helmet to the suit, and walked out onto her wide, open balcony. Kori looked out one last time at her pinkified room, the place that provided so much shelter from the outside worlds. Taking the motorcycle-like helmet, the alien princess placed it securely on her head and took off flying towards her destination surrounded by what almost looked like a green aura of fire. EARTH…

please review it's my first story so don't be so harsh on the newbie!
