"The Tofu is ready!" I heard Beast Boy announce from the kitchen area, I smiled and turned from my seat on the sofa to watch the display that marked morning's arrival. "Dude, No wants your slimy tofu!" Cyborg protested in return, I was going to interrupt when I heard I heard Starfire's high pitched giggle coming from the hallway; followed by raven's emotionless groan, they walked in to the room and sat on the sofa with me.

I drowned out the debate behind me as raven and starfire greeted me in their own ways with, Star's usual "greeting friend spark!" and Rae's "Hey Sparkbomb" I smiled and hugged star, which she returned happily, then followed by forcing Rae in to a hug as well "spark I really don't .." "Oh! Come on Raven u know u wanna hug me!" I laughed and finally set her free from my grip.

I smiled and went to the mirror to sort out my now messed up hair, curtersey of Starfire's excitement of actually being hugged, I smiled to myself as I looked over myself in the mirror, My French rose pink leotard had a large silver glittery spark on my left side, which combined with my sky blue knee high boots and matching cape, also covered with glittery sparks, suited me and my power perfectly; I could create orbs in my hands that held similar traits to granades; they spark up like fire and explode at my will after being thrown. I was also trained by robin in martial arts, when we were living back in gotham, though that seemed like a life time ago.

I looked up and re-tied my sleek black hair into a high pony tail and sorted my fringe out, I smiled as I looked at the ends of my hair and fringe, which had been dyed a bright red colour and remember the struggle I had to do it right...

"Arrrrg!" I just can't do this! I frustratedly tried to get the red hair dye covering the bottom few centimetres of all my hair. "Damn it!"

"Hey spark... you sounded like u could use some help?" I turned and looked at the masked eyes of Robin, who looked thoroughly amused.

"Yeah, clearly I'm not doing this right" we both laughed as I looked my now dyed red hands, He walked over and sat behind me, I smiled and looked at him in the mirror.

"Did you read the instructions?"

I laughed and turned to face him "Instructions, my dear Robin are for people who can't figure things out for themselves." I smiled and stuck my tongue out at him.

He smirked back at me and said "But you can't figure it out."

I giggled and wiped some of the red dye from my hand on to his face and laughed "Thats for being a smart ass"

He laughed and shook his head "Your crazy spark"

"Yes. Yes I am"

... After an hour we had finally succeeded with my hair and had managed to keep clean, well beside my hands and Robins face...

"I love it!" I smiled and hugged Robin "thank you so much!"

He hugged me back smiling then opened his mouth to reply when an exceptionally loud Cyborg burst in the bathroom and smirked, "Keep it PG guys!"

Robin and I glared in response, but I broke out in to a smile when Cyborg said "love the new hair Spark."

I smiled and sighed at the memory, but I wish I had known what Robin was going to say, I shook my head... oh well...

"Hey, you ok Sparky?" I turned smiling and replied, "I'm fine BB and its Spark remember" I giggled and poked him as I walked past to the breakfast table

He looked at me and pretended to look hurt "by the way, why didn't I get a hug this morning! Everyone else did!" I smiled and run to him while wrapping my arms around his neck and hugged him, he wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged back... quite tightly as well.

As I pulled back I looked at Beast Boy, who had a goofy smile on his face, I was about to ask if he was ok, when someone coughed loudly, I looked towards the hallway to see robin standing there staring at ... me and BB?... Whatever it was he seemed to shake it off, walked over to the breakfast table and sat between Star and Cy.

"Where were you this morning Robin?" I asked to break the silence that was currently looming over us.

"Nothing... just some research ..." as I listened I noticed he wasn't really eating, he just kept moving the food around on his plate... I wonder what's wrong...

"What's the research on?" Rae asked in her usual flat voice, I looked around the table; everyone was looking at Robin curiously, except BB... who's looking at... Me? I shook it off to listen to Robins reply

"Just some stuff to help an old friend" he said dismissively, "who?" Cy asked impatiently, I nudged him and he just shrugged...

"Batman." I looked at him surprised he hardly ever brought up batman, something must be really wrong... I watched as he got up and walk away from all of us to the sofa.

I walked over slowly and sat next to him, "so... Wanna talk about it?"

"No." He replied flatly and turned the TV on; I looked down at the carpet... I'll never understand robin, one moment were messing around laughing and having fun, like when we dyed my hair, then other times its like he doesn't want to know me... I sighed and walked away to the hallway heading to my room, I'll never understand him.

"Wait up Spark!" I turned to see BB running over to me, "umm I was wondering... umm... do you wanna... well I mean how would you feel if... I umm... "I looked at him and he looked just as confused as me...

I opened my mouth to ask what he wanted, but I was cut off by the red alarms, Beast Boy and I ran back to the main room, in time to hear Robin say, "the computer doesn't register the villain... it's at the Jump Art Gallery?..." huh. thats a new one.

"TITAINS GO!" We ran out the T-Tower, to the T-car, I sat in the front next to Cy and we sped off through the dark underground tunnel to the city, followed by Robin on his motorbike.

I always loved that bike, back when Terra, I looked at BB in the mirror and instantly felt sad, was a titan there wasn't enough seats in the T-car so I rode with Robin, I looked at Robin in the rear view mirror, I missed that being close to Robin... I always felt safe...

I was taken out of my thoughts when I saw a huge crowd of people outside and blocking our view of the gallery, I opened the window and screams of the crowed surrounded us "Save her!" "Get her out!" "She's trapped!" We drove though the crowd and I starred at the art gallery that was up in flames.

Memories filled my mind; the heat, the suffocating smoke, the fear and the screams that turned into a deadly silence .

Someone shaking me made me focus; I looked in to Robins mask as he told me there's nothing they can do until the firemen put the fire out. I started nodding before I saw a man being pulled back by police while he screamed for his wife.

Images flashed through my mind.

I could stop myself I started running towards the gallery, dodging the Titans as I went. I could hear Robin shout, "STOP HER!"

I couldnt. I couldnt stop. I just ran and my memory's attacked my mind once more. I could see my mother lying on the ash motionless and cold.

No. I won't let that happen to this woman.

So without another thought I ran into the nightmare of my childhood, the horrors of my past, The hell of my existance.
