Hey, yeah it's me again. This is my new story, but PLEASE don't have a go at me if I take a while to update. The ideas are taking ages to form on this one, well, no, tell a lie, I know what I'm writing. I just don't know how to write it. So thanks. Reviewing is VERY highly appreciated. Thanks again.

Eyes focused, staring, unblinking. Fists clenched, hard as stone. Nose wrinkled, smelling the fear. Mouth set, a straight line on a beautiful face. Lean body, standing tall, ready for battle, ready for surprise. Feet firmly placed on the unsteady ground. Hair lifted up by the strong breeze, yet almost unmoving on her head. A smile, malicious, slowly forming on her youthful features. A flash of light, an arm, a fist, hailing the grey clouds above. Noise filling the area, screams, cries, sobs, breaths. Gasps.
In a crooked little town.
The bodies fall, families together, destined to die.
They were lost and never found.
And above it all, a laugh, vile, blood curdling, the laughter of someone who has finally got what they wanted.
Fallen leaves on the ground.
Raven sat, meditating, in the midst of havoc in Titan's Tower. Whilst Beast Boy and Cyborg battled to the death with video games, Robin sat next to the speaker of the radio, the music filling his head. Starfire stood in the kitchen, surrounded by the ingredients for her latest Tamaranean "delicacy". As the alarm started to blare out its siren, the Titans jumped into action, each heading for the doors whilst Robin backed-out slowly, watching the screen to see what trouble the town was in now.
Leave behind all my ghosts.
She walked slowly, admiring her handiwork. Her smile had left her face by now, and all that was left was a glare, a frown.
Voice in my head will soon be fed.
Bodies littered the floor, strewn over the cracks in the pavement, the wooden benches that had withstood time and destruction, propped against blackened buildings.
Staring at sidewalks.
A sudden explosion, a yell, an order to attack. She turned, spinning on her heels as the force of the Teen Titans came upon her. As unprepared the Titans were for the enemy they were about to face, so the opposite was true for their adversary. Flinging her arms wide, she smiled, a heartless smirk that didn't reach her eyes. The Titans started to slow, confused about her lack of movement. However, she started to walk forward, causing Beast Boy to charge. Starfire floated up above the battle scene, launching a star bolt at the young intruder. However, as the recipient caught it, it was flung at a new target, headed straight for Cyborg. Star bolt and target never met, Raven deflecting it with her magic, but many more were soon hurtled at the unsuspecting Titans, the figure bathed in a green glow emanating from her eyes.
Bird-a-rangs were thrown, many caught and crushed, others just missing the miscreant by inches. Black magic had surrounded her, only to be used in favour of the challenger. Cyborg's sonic cannon had fired multiple times, only grazing the agile girl. And Beast Boy had become multiple animals in the hope of smashing the girl to the ground; to no avail.
"Dude what gives?"
"Titans." The voice boomed across the quiet town, only penetrated by the sounds of the battle going on. "I see you have met my newest apprentice, Chaos. Say hello, Chaos, to the Teen Titans, all but defeated, and trouble-makers of Jump City." In the wake of the man talking, Chaos kneeled down, lowering her head; rising just as quickly when Raven decided to launch a surprise at the bowing teen.
"Slade. We protect the city, you are the only one to cause trouble and grief here."
"As you wish, Robin."
"Hello Titans."
"I see you've managed to force another innocent into helping you defeat us?"
"Not forced, Robin. She joined of her own will. Now attack, my apprentice."
"Yes Master."
Searching for something I couldn't find at home.
Stepping forward, Chaos once again spread her arms, her hands glowing green, her eyes black.
"Yes Titans, Chaos has studied you very closely, and I see it has paid off. Finish them off, apprentice."
"Slade! Where are you? WHY CAN'T YOU FIGHT US YOURSELF?"
"As I have said many times Robin, patience."
As the star bolts formed on her fragile hands, the black glow starting to surround her body, Cyborg stepped up, firing up his sonic cannon.
Chaos started to smile again, her lips stretched. Firing green glow, one after the other, at the Titans, Chaos could see that today they lived to tell the tale. However, she was looking forward to the next time they met. She dropped her shield and ceased bombarding the teens, almost wanting them to attack so she could show them the full extent of her power. Closing her eyes, she started to walk closer to the Titans. Her hands raised high above her head, her smile growing. Her arms started to glow, a strange blue surrounding them and illuminating the rest of her. Cyborg's human eye widened.
"What's the matter tin man, recognise this?"
"TITANS! Stand down!" and more quietly "Go back to the tower, she's more powerful than I thought."
"But Robin, we cannot do the butt kicking now?"
"No Star! Stand down!"
As Chaos pointed her arms straight at the now retreating Titans, a small laugh, one that could almost be mistaken for the wind, was heard from far behind them.
Just one more hit and I'll be fine.
