Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, except for this plot and my two OC's.
Aurora's P.O.V.
ZAP!
"AAAAHHHH!" I screamed in agony as a red laser beam shot me and my twin brother, Mark, into a building.
"Aurora, are you okay?" Mark asked feebily. He slowly got up from a glass case where he had landed on and limped over to where I had landed on the marble floor. I groaned in pain.
"Yeah, I'll be okay." I reassured him as I carefully got up and staggered over to him.
"Are you okay, Mark?" I asked concerned. He had a bruise on his arm and a few cuts, but nothing major.
"Yeah, I'm fine; just a few scratches, but I'll live," He grunted good humoredly.
"We've got to get out of here," he told me urgently. "Whoever shot at us won't go down without a fight, and we're in no mint condition for fighting," Mark added before I had a chance to protest.
"Oh, you're correct about me how I 'won't going down without a fight'," A sly and smooth voice exclaimed through the smoke. A man in a metal suit with one side orange and black. He also wore a mask that was black on one side and right on the other side.
"Look, we don't know who you are or what you want with us, but we don't want any trouble," Mark tried reasoning carefully. This man was scary, creepy, stalking us and he was definitely looking for trouble. The creepy man chuckled maliciously.
"Oh, but where would be the fun in that?" He asked coyly. He walked towards me, but I quickly took a few paces back to stay away from him. There's something about this creep that made me feel a little uneasy. However, he kept trying to come near me and I kept trying to move away from him until my back said hello to the wall.
"Stay back," I told him anxiously, and I'm pretty sure he was smiling underneath his metal mask. Where was Mark?
"Don't worry, I just want to see you up close," He said coyly. He placed a cold metal glove on my face, instantly sending shivers down my spine.
"Get away from my sister, you creep!" Mark snarled and a blast of blue energy shot at the masked creep sending flying backward into another corner of the jewelry store. I ran towards Mark and dragged him out of the store before he had the chance to protest.
"We have to go, now, before he comes back," I replied and Mark took the hint to run as if his life depended on it. Another laser was shot at us, but this time it hit Mark straight in the back.
"Argh!" Mark yelped in pain. A metal fist crashed into his stomach and I could easily hear a few ribs cracking.
"Mark!" I shouted in despair as my twin brother was being thrashed around like a rag doll. Blood was trickling down the side of his head, he had a black eye and more bruises on his body than I've ever seen. My anger boiled and I was angry.
"Let him go!" I screamed ferociously. The man held my brother by his red t-shirt and glanced at me before he flung my brother to the side of a building. "I don't know who you are, but you're going to regret crossing paths me!" I spat the words out at him as if they were poison.
"My name is Slade," He said with a chuckle of amusement. "You're a very spirited one, little girl. I highly doubt you're going to be hard to squash than your brother over there." Slade added. Oh, no he didn't! He did not just say that about my brother! I growled. Orange energy glowed all around me and in one second I was wearing my battle suit. I had a dress with flames on it, golden knee high boots, a golden cape, a magical ring, a sword and a sun shaped necklace. My orange hair was no longer in a high pony tail, but it was flowing freely all the way down to my knees. Slade stared at me surprised at my sudden transformation.
"I'm going to make you eat your words, Slade!" I retorted. For a moment, he actually looked scared once he saw the power and muscle in my arms.
"Let's begin," Slade said calmly. We circled around each other for three minutes, and then he striked. He tried punching me in the stomach, but I jumped back and landed a punch to his mask that sent him flying backwards into a wall. My adrenanline was heavily pumping and shot red hot lasers at him about 10 times. Lots of debris fell on top of him and he was porbably in too much pain to move, so I ran over to where Mark leaning on the wall.
"Good job, sis," Mark commented. ZAP! A blast of energy shot me in the back and it sent me crashing into a building.
"Aurora!" Mark called in anguish as piles of debris fell on top of me. OW! I moaned, but then I remembered Mark was hurt and vulnerable against Slade now that he was injured. I blasted the debris off of me and turned to see Slade holding Mark up in the air by the throat. My anger rose up to the surface and I hurled a giant ball of orange energy making him drop Mark on the floor, and send him flying into another building. I caught Mark before he fell to the ground.
"Mark, please say something," I begged as he lay limp in my arms. Slade recovered quickly and grabbed my hair forcing me to drop Mark.
"If you want your brother to live, then all you must do is become my apprentice," Slade whispered in my ear. That did it. I glowed red, kicked Slade straight in the groin, grabbed him by the throat and hurled all the way to the outskirts of the city. Then, I ran over to Mark and held him in my arms trying to see if he was alright; I heard the faint sound of shallow breathing coming from him and knew that he'd be okay, but not unless if he doesn't get medical attention fast.
"That was amazing!" A voice came from behind me and spun my head around. A team of five heroes were gapping at me in astonishment, I guess they enjoyed the show. A teenage boy with green skin, small fangs, brown eyes, green hair, pointy ears, gray gloves, purple sneakers, a maroon and black suit was grinning from ear to ear in excitement.
"Who are you?" I snarled with my adrenaline pumping again. The green boy's smile vanished and he hid behind a girl with pale skin, short violet hair, a red diamond on her forehead, wearing a dark blue hooded cape, with small boots to match, a black leotard, a belt, and violet eyes.
"We could ask you the same question," she replied in a monotonous tone. I was starting to get frustrated.
"Look, I don't have time for this. I need to get my brother some medical help," I responded more calmly. A dark skinned teenager that was half covered in blue metal took a step forward.
"Take it easy, we can help your bother. My name's Cyborg. Follow us back to our base and we'll take care of him in the infirmary there," Cyborg reassured her gently. I hesitated for a moment and then I nodded my head.
"Show me how to get there. I have the ability to fly, so I'll carry him there," I replied a lot less hostile than I had been before.
"I shall guide you to our home," A tall, orange skinned girl with long red hair, green eyes, a small purple shirt, purple mini skirt, and purple combat boots volunteered. She flew up into the sky and I followed her while holding my unconcious twin. After a few moments, I saw a T-shaped tower in the distance on a remote island in the middle of a vast expanse of water. Me and the girl landed on the shore of the island at the foot of the huge T-shaped tower. She looked at me with a sympathetic smile.
"My name is Starfire. What is your name?" the orange girl replied cheerfully. I sighed.
"My name is Aurora,"
"Your name suits you,"
"Thanks,"
"What is your brother's name?"
"Mark,"
"Interesting," Silence fell on them. Then, the rest of the teens came into view and they helped me get Mark into the infirmary onto a bed.
"Everybody except for the mystery girl, out!" Cyborg commanded and everyone else shuffled out of the room without a word of protest. Cyborg quickly set to work on fixing up my brother and when he was done, his side was patched up, his arm was in a cast and he had multiple band aids everywhere.
"Thanks for fixing him up, Cyborg," I thanked him gratefully. He gave me a warm smile.
"No problem, little lady. Now, tell me, what is your name?" Cyborg asked me curiously.
"My name is Aurora," I introduced myself politely.
"That's a pretty name,"
"Thanks,"
"So, your brother is going to have stay here for a few weeks until he can start to get up and move again," Cyborg explained and I sighed.
"He's also going to have to stay here in the Tower for as long as it takes for his ribs to heal," I cringed. He looked at me curiously for a moment. "What's wrong, Aurora?" I looked up at him.
"It's just that, me and Mark don't have a decent home to stay in," I began to explain, but Cyborg nodded his head as if he understood.
"I get it, Aurora. You want to stay with your brother, but you don't know if we'll let you stay here," Cyborg guessed and was amused to see her cheeks turn pink.
"Yeah, you're right,"
"Don't worry. After we saw you take down Slade like that, Robin would no doubt about it let you and Mark stay as long as you need," I smiled relieved. Mark opened his eyes and looked around.
