Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, the Incredibles, or any of the characters or places mentioned in either one. But man, do I wish I did.

Author's Note: Yay! My first story! After debating over topics and talking to my friends, and stating about five stories, I actually decided on one and finsihed the first chapter! Sure, it isn't anything but introducing the main character, but hey! It's a start, you know? Only bad thing in this chapter is a bit of language (bad Tony!) and a stupid boyfriend. Anyways, I hardly ever read author's notes myself, so why should I waste anymore of your (hopefully) valuable time? That's right! I shouldn't! On with the show!

Violet threw her bag in the corner and slammed the door to her room shut

Violet threw her bag in the corner and slammed the door to her room shut. Turning the volume on her headphones as high as it would go and flopping down on her bed, she stared up at the ceiling and tried not to cry. She was fighting a losing battle as salty tears poured down the sides of her face, so she gave up, letting her anguish trace wet paths on her cheeks.

She couldn't believe she'd been so stupid. The whole school had been talking behind her back and shaking their heads after the incident today, their whispers following her as she walked down the halls.

"Did you hear?"

"…caught him in the act…"

"…didn't know it was happening…"

"…fooling her for months…"

"…so naive!"

Blinking back a new round of tears and working past the giant lump in her throat, Violet rolled on her side and stared out the window. She tried to shut the thoughts out, but she was trapped in a personal nightmare, the memory replaying over and over in her head.

Flashback

"Hey Ashley," Violet smiled at her cheerleader friend. "Have you seen Tony?"

To her surprise, Ashlee rolled her eyes at fellow cheer mate Maddie, who giggled and glanced behind her at the rest of the students going to lunch.

"Yeah I've seen him." Ashlee said sarcastically. "The whole school's seen him by now."

"Yeah, we thought you were serious about him Vi." Maddie added. "We were rooting for you to be the first girl to hang on to Triple Threat Tony, the biggest playboy at Western View High."

"What are you guys talking about?" Violet asked, very confused.

"OMG, you didn't know?" Maddie gasped, astonished but thrilled to get to spread more gossip to the general masses. She pulled Violet into an empty hallway where no one else could hear them. "He's back there by the girl's bathroom, making out with Mandy Horn for the third time today."

"WHAT!!" Violet shouted before being shushed by a passing teacher and a few student council members.

"It's true!" Maddie said, a little quieter. Ashlee nodded in agreement.

"He's been hanging out with her for two weeks now." She said, a little more sympathetic now that she knew that Violet had no idea. "I can't believe it. We all thought you guys had broken up."

"Well we haven't." Violet said firmly. "Where did you say he was?"

"Over by the girl's bathroom. Don't do anything you'll regret though." Ashlee replied.

"We'll see if I regret this." Violet said through gritted teeth.

"It's not that he totally doesn't deserve it!" Maddie hastily said. "We just don't want you to get in trouble."

"Trust me on this one; he's the one that's in trouble." Violet said over her shoulder.

She briskly walked to the main hallway and towards the girl's bathroom. Students passing rolled their eyes and veered away from a section of the wall, where as she got closer, Violet could see her soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend Tony.

He had the girl in question, Mandy Horn, pressed against the wall trying to suffocate her. Or at least that's what it looked like. Seeing Violet watching the disturbing scene, a small crowd began to gather.

Violet walked calmly up to the pair and tapped Tony lightly on the shoulder.

"Hey Tony, sorry to bug you, but could I talk to you for a second?" she said quietly.

"V-v-violet." Tony tried to compose himself as he turned away from the cheerleader. "What are you doing here?"

SLAP. There were quite a few gasps among the muttering of the crowd as Tony faltered backwards, hand pressed to his stinging cheek.

"What was that for?!" he shouted towards the floor, gasping with pain.

"You had some lipstick on your cheek." Violet said sweetly. "Now, if you don't mind I'm going to have to cancel our date tomorrow. Something just came up."

"Violet, it isn't what it looks like!" Tony tried desperately. "S-she just came up and kissed me, I swear I wasn't cheat-"

"Save it for someone who cares, Tony." Violet said sarcastically as she turned to walk away.

"Aw, who needs a bitch like you anyway." Tony called after her. "I can have any girl I want in a second."

"So find yourself a new date for the prom, Tactless Tony." Violet called back over her shoulder. "Though I feel sorry for whoever you do pick."

End Flashback

Violet threw her headphones down and sighed. It was a fruitless effort to try and block out the memories that swamped her as she lay on her bed, her mind reeling with the day's events, slowly slipping into sleep.

As she slept, the memories in her subconscious slid her deeper and deeper into depression, the waves of painful feelings lapping over her and engulfing her. Her power tried to manifest itself and protect her fragile mind from the crushing blow.

A mask of no emotion was the only face she showed to the world for a long, long time.
