Katara had been flying at about 100 miles per hour. She loved the speed and feeling, but Mushi was not too excited about flying. He kept moving around and Katara tried to calm him down.

"Don't be afraid, Mushi. We'll be at Earth is less than ten minutes," she said. At this, he stopped fidgeting. What will my name be? I can't keep it Katara, and I don't want to go back to Samantha. That was my Earth and human name. But, I am more than just a human now. I shall be Jade from now on. Jade. That name stuck in her mind. She is Jade from now on.

As she caught glimpse of the Earth, her heart skipped a beat.

"We're here, Mushi! I have lived on here for thirteen years of my life, and after four years on Alkia, it's good to be home… hold on!"

They entered through the Earth's atmosphere at an increasing fast speed. From far away, Jade looked like some sort of comet. As she got closer to the ground, she slowed down and landed on the Earth softly. The gravity on Earth is heavier and so Jade fell immediately after landing. She landed in the center of the town square of Jump City. She sat down on a nearby bench.

"I'm so tired… I'm going to take a little rest, Mushi. Stay here," Jade managed to say as she lost consciousness. The trip was too much for her. Next time, she will not fly non-stop for 10 hours at over 100 miles per hour. The night was quiet and the darkness had consumed her.

"What was that?" Robin asked as he was looking out of the window from the Teen Titan's Tower. He had seen some flash of light in the night sky.

"You're going down!" yelled Cyborg as he was playing Beast Boy a racing game.

"You wish, Cy! Loser has to wash dishes!" Beast Boy said.

"You're on!" Cyborg yelled, agreeing to the bet.

"Never mind," Robin sighed as he took one last look outside and walked to his room. Raven was in the next room, reading her favorite book. Starfire, on the otherhand, was experiencing the new feeling of blow-drying her hair.

"This is most fun! View my hair!" she said loudly. The Tower was in a better state than usual. The dishes were overloading the sink though. Beast Boy ended up washing them.

"Told you you're going down," Cyborg said later, boastfully.

"Shut up," Beast Boy mumbled as she put some liquid dish soap on the sponge.

Robin had closed the door to his room. He went to his drawer and opened it. There, he held the four-year-old picture of his good friend, Samantha.

"I have failed," Robin whispered to the photo as he lowered his head. A knock came from the door and Robin quickly put the picture away and opened the door.

"Do you want to see my hair when it is wrestled with the drier of hair, Robin?" Starfire asked.

"Uh, not now. I think I'm going for a walk now," he said as he was walking down the hall.

"Do you wish for me to accompany you on this walk of yours?" Starfire asked.

"No, Star. Stay here and show Raven your hair," Robin said as he went into the elevator and soon walked outside.

There are so many things I don't know. I hate this feeling. It seems that am lost now. Who is Slade, is the real question. Sam was smart, she would know how to find him and foil his next plan. Why hasn't she turned up yet? It's been four years! At this, he started to walk faster. I've done my part. I tired to locate you. Now, it's your turn. At this point, you just don't leave and never come back. It must mean that you don't want to come back…He immediately shook off this idea. Sam didn't want to leave me, but she had to. Robin remembered that night perfectly. After Sam had left, he went out to Sam's house. There were police cars and neighbors all around. He didn't get involved with it, but he saw Sam's dead father. Robin never found out how he had died, but Sam had killed him. The truth hurts, he told himself. He eventually got back top the Tower before Cyborg put on the security system. That night, Robin didn't sleep well.

All the Teen Titans were up before 9:30 am. Robin was playing on his electric guitar, Starfire was watching Cyborg make some pancakes, Raven was meditating by the window, and Beast Boy was running around the room as a cheetah. After they had all had some breakfast, they went off and did whatever they wanted for the next two hours. Then, they got together and Cyborg said, "How about we go outside. It's a nice fall day. We can play some football or go out for lunch."

"Sounds good. We all should get some fresh air," Robin said.

"You sure got some last night," Raven said. Robin ignored her remark and they all left. They got some ice cream and began walking around the city. That is, until someone caught Robin's eye.

Jade had gotten up really late. It was not until noon. There were people all around her feeding the ducks or getting some food.

"Mushi?" she asked, sleepily. Mushi appeared before her eating some bread.

"Well, I see you're having your breakfast," she said as she got up. She noticed that people were looking at her.

"I don't think sleeping on a bench in these days is normal. I don't think wearing an Alkian robe is in style either." So, Jade out her arms up and spun and some magic got a hold of her. A white barrier and sparkles enveloped her. Soon, she was dressed in some jeans, a white t-shirt and a red sweater. She was holding the robe she was wearing previously. She threw that away in a nearby trashcan. Jade picked up Mushi. "So, what should we do today?" she asked him and she was looking around at all the people in the square until five figures caught her eye.

One person was big and silver and metal. Another was a girl that wore a hood and dark cape. Another was all green and laughing. Another was a girl that was tall, wore a miniskirt and had red long hair. The last person had noticed Jade and they were looking at each other over a span of twenty yards. He had dark hair and wore a mask and a red, yellow, green, and black costume. She had not broke eye contact. Mushi climbed out of Jade's grip, but she didn't notice. All she knew was this guy she was looking at. Do I know him? He seems somewhat familiar. Why had he noticed me out of the other people in the square? The boy had finally broke eye contact for a moment and in one swift movement, Jade took her red bag and started to run. She did not use lightning-speed, she ran like a human, a fast human. Jade did not look back. She crossed the street and began to run up the hill when she sensed something. Mushi couldn't run as fast so when he got to the street he began to cross when a car was passing. The car honked, but did not slow down. Jade stopped and turned back in time to jump in front of the car, sweep up Mushi and land on the other side of the sidewalk. She was hurt little and picked up Mushi and started to run again.

While in the square, the girl sleeping on the bench had caught his eye. She was tall, slim, and had very long dark hair. He saw her get up and turn to some monkey pet she had with her. Then, she got up and spinned in place a few times, something magical was happening. When she stopped spinning, he saw that she was now wearing something else than her unusual robe. Beast Boy was telling a joke he had heard and began laughing. The girl looked around and saw Robin. Her long, dark hair mesmerized Robin. She has hair as fair as Sam's, but who is she? The mystery girl did not break the eye contact for a long time. Cyborg noticed Robin was not speaking.

"What're you looking at, Robin?" Cyborg asked as he followed Robin's gaze.

"Oh, some girl has caught Robin's eye. Robin has a crush on Mystery Girl!" Cyborg said playfully. Robin turned to Cyborg and said, "Stop it. She's not just some girl… I feel as if I've known her from somewhere," he said as he looked back at he, but she was not there.

"Where did she go?" Beast Boy said. Robin scanned the scenery and saw the Mystery Girl running, and heard cars honking. Then, she stopped, turned around and leaped in front of the car and caught her monkey pet. She landed safely, not on the road. She got up and started running again. The whole scene was done with such grace that no normal person could have done that. It was like she had something special on her side.

"Did you see that?" Cyborg exclaimed.

"I sure did," Robin said quietly.

"Ok, then. Who's up for the movies?" Best Boy asked.

"Not now. Let's go home now," Robin had said and no one dared to argue.

"Who is the girl?" Starfire whispered to Raven. Raven shrugged and followed the rest of the team home.

When Jade kept running until she got to a skateboard park. There was no one there. She decided to rest, and come up with some type of clothing that would suit her. Saka's first command was to do something good with my powers. So, Jade concentrated. She had recently developed the power to materialize anything she wanted. She thought hard. A green shirt, black pants, black hangover utility belt, light but hard shoes. She thought and pictured these in her mind over and over again. Soon enough, she had her three-quarter jade green protective shirt. It could withstand fire and other hazards. It will not break and it was harder to protect her skin more from combat. She eventually got her shiny black pants that was also protective and could withstand heat. Her light but strong shoes were amazing in Jade's eyes; it was perfect for running and fighting. The utility belt was the best part of her outfit though. She wore it over her shoulder and it passed in front of her chest. It hung over and she put little gadgets and things in them. She brushed her hair and braided it. Her hair was down to her waist. She had never cut it on Alkia.

She stood up tall and asked for Mushi's advice. "How do I look," Jade asked. Mushi looked at her and looked like he smiled. Then, Mushi made some noises, like ordinary monkeys do, and Jade yelled. "I understood you! You said I looked like a real heroic women, ready for any villain," she exclaimed.

"You understood me? Wow, you are smart like Saka had said."

"This is so weird…" she said as she sat down. She laid back on the grass and looked at the clouds passing by. "I wonder who those people sere I saw earlier. Now that I think about it, I don't look any different from them. They were all wearing some type of outfit. And if I do recall, that boy, he had a utility belt too. Mine is much cooler though, I think." Jade said as she smiled. She liked her jade green/black combination. Her eyes were green and matched her shirt and her hair was black that matched her shoes, pants, and belt. "No all I have to do is wait for some trouble," she said, almost to herself. She didn't have to wait long before she had a strange feeling. Mushi was also started to jump and look aware. Jade got up and had a thought. There is a bank robbery on 34th Street. She knew where that was. Jade had never walked down that road, but she automatically knew where it was located. "Come on, Mushi. I think there's a bank robbery around here." She said, picked up Mushi and flew off.
