So this is something that I've been planning for a long time (since last school year, actually), and I finally came up with a prologue that I was satisfied with. I hope you enjoy.
"You're the child of a monster! You're a monster!"
"You don't belong in the Teen Titans! You don't deserve it!"
"I wish you'd just disappear! You're supposed to be good at that anyway, right?!"
A hooded figure crouched atop a tall stone building surrounded by the many lights of the city, yet still shrouded in darkness. She sat perched on the edge, head tilted down as she gazed into the crowds far below. People spoke to one another, drove their vehicles, entered stores, walked their silly dogs… All around, nothing seemed amiss, nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary. Such ordinary people, leading such ordinary lives… She envied them, if only somewhat. Part of her, a part she would likely never admit existed, would give anything to be like those people; normal, without a care in the world besides school and maybe work and silly little dramas between friends and family. That part of her would give anything to be like them, to be able to disappear into a crowd as though she didn't exist… but no. Too many people knew her, hated her, wanted her dead. She could never be normal.
A strong wind blew around her, forcing her hood back and off of her head, revealing her face for the first time that night. Her long hair flowed behind her, soft as silk and shining softly in the moonlight. Her skin too had a soft glow to it. Her eyes, which were the same color as her hair, blinked once. As she focused on the scene below, a black circular device, small enough to fit comfortably in her hand, vibrated at her hip. The vibration was faint, almost imperceptible, but still it was enough to draw her attention to it. She unclipped the device from her belt with one hand and raised it to just below her ear. As she listened, a soft female voice, barely above a whisper, began to speak.
"Someone's broken in. They've made it past all our security." A series of loud crashes sounded over the words, nearly drowning them out. "We thought we could handle them, but-" There was another crash, this one louder, closer. "They're stronger than we thought." There was yet another loud sound, closely followed by a burst of static that persisted for several moments before the voice returned, clearer and more urgent than before. "We need you."
Without a word, the figure stood and slipped soundlessly into the shadows of the full moon night, pulling her hood up disappearing without trace.
