A/N: OK, I'm ignoring Rob/Star for now. In this story, it hasn't happened!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. Unfortunately.

Robin looked down on the city below him. For once, all was peaceful.

Behind him, he could hear the yells and woops from Beastboy and Cyborg as they played each other on some pointless video game, the bubbling stew that Starfire was concocting, and the occasional page turn from Raven's book.

The Boy Wonder found it relaxing to watch the city like this. He would often stand there for hours when he was feeling particularly exasperated, listening to the sounds of the city as it moved around.

All was calm.

Without warning, something exploded near the city centre. Moments later, the alarm sounded.

As the Titans rushed towards the supercomputer, their leader beckoned them to the window, pointing out the source of the damage.

"The pizzeria!" cried Beastboy, obviously distressed.

"Titans, GO!"

The 5 of them piled into the T-Car and Cyborg floored the accelerator.

The T-Car skidded to a halt outside the pizzeria and the teenagers scrambled out of the car. Beastboy was the first out of the car, and stopped in his tracks in disbelief.

Raven slammed into his back, causing both of them to fall in a heap on the floor.

Robin spotted what his friend had been so surprised about.

There was another superhero already there, holding up the collapsing structure that was once the pizza place.

She was a young girl, about their age, suspended in the air by a large pair of metal boots with what seemed to be rockets protruding out the bottom.

"Um, hello?" her singsong Irish voice rang out towards the stunned youths. "A little help would be greatly appreciated!"

The Titans sprang into action; Raven taking the weight of the crumbling building, while her teammates and the newcomer carried customers safely out of harm's way.

When the heroes had ensured that the building was empty, Raven allowed it to crush itself.

With business dealt with, the Teen Titans turned to face the girl who had helped them.

"Hello!" She grinned dazzlingly at them, and Robin smiled almost goofily back. The stranger giggled quietly so as not to offend the boy whose team had saved her life.

"My name is MoonRay," she announced. She was wearing a black cat suit with the letters 'MR' in a white circle in the middle, and a diagonal white stripe emblazoned across her front, crossing on to her sleeves as well. Her hair was jet black and, surprisingly, she didn't seem to have any irises. She simply had the whites with pupils in the centre. Her hands bore black fingerless gloves with a perfect circle in each palm. Her eyes sparkled cheekily as she smiled.

"Hi, MoonRay. I'm Robin," the Boy Wonder replied, "and this is Raven-"

"Robin, Raven," she cut in, "all you need now is the Hawk and you have an aviary!" Beastboy chuckled.

"…Yeah. Well, this is Cyborg-"

"Beware the Cyborg!" she cut in, wheezing dramatically, "Sorry. Just quoting 'Treasure Planet' there!"

"OK… This is Starfire, and this is Beastboy." Robin finished. "Got any jokes for them?"

"No, I think I'm done there. Anyways, nice to meet you!" MoonRay shook each of their hands cheerily.

"What are you doing here?" asked Cyborg as unobtrusively as possible when asking such a question.

"What do you mean by 'here'? Do you mean 'here' as in this country, this city, standing outside this pizzeria, this planet even?" responded MoonRay.

"Um… All of them?"

"OK… I'm in this country because I left my own, in this city because I thought it sounded like an interesting place to be, and I'm standing outside this pizzeria because I was sitting in my room directly above it when it exploded." She pointed to where the apartments on top of it had been.

"Why I am on this Earth is harder. Why were any of us put on this Earth? That last question is one I really want to find the answer to before I die. That, and why Zac Efron is so popular. Well then, does that answer you question?"

Cyborg simply blinked at her. "I guess…"

"If your apartment was blown up, does that mean you have nowhere to go?" Robin queried.

"Well done, Sherlock!"

Robin frowned. "How about you stay with us in the Tower for a while?"

"That would be great, thanks."

Beastboy leaned over to his leader and whispered to him: "Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, what if she's working for the bad guys or something?"

"Relax, Beastboy, it's not as if we're going to spill all the Titans' secrets. We're just giving her a place to stay until she can sort herself out. Anyway, if she does turn out to be evil, it's not like we can't take her out. The odds are on our side."

Overhearing this, MoonRay promised: "I'm not evil, honest! If I am, or ever will be, working for the 'bad guys', as you put it, then let me be killed by an arrow to the heart."

The Titans and their guest climbed into the T-Car, minus Starfire, who had offered to fly along side to make space for MoonRay. They bombarded her with questions along the journey.

"Where are you from?"

"Dublin."

"Had you heard of us before?"

"No."

"Not even Robin? The world-famous assistant to Batman? The Boy Wonder-"

"Guys, don't…" Robin interrupted.

"Well, yeah, obviously, but I'd never heard of the Teen Titans."

"So, are you excited that you've met Robin?"

"No. Should I be?"

"Well, yeah! As I said before, he is the world-famous assistant to Batman, and the Boy Wonder, etc."

"Guys, seriously-"

"Why should I be excited to meet someone who's been doing what I do for longer than I've been doing it?"

"But he knows Batman!"

"Again, just someone else who has been doing what I do for longer than I've been doing it."

Raven had been sitting silently throughout this, listening as Beastboy and Cyborg put forward most of the questions. Sensing Robin's discomfort, she decided to take the conversation down a different path.

"So what made you decide to move to a completely different continent?"

"I had to get away from the British Isles, and I thought I would stick out too much in France, Germany or Spain. I can't speak any other languages!"

At that moment, they arrived at the long tunnel that took them across to their island in the middle of the lake. MoonRay was astounded.

"Wow…"

"It's just a tunnel. It's nothing special." Robin commented.

"I've lead a very sheltered life, you know."

"In that case, wait until you see the Tower!"

At that moment, they emerged out the other side of the tunnel, and the Tower appeared in all its glory.
