(Well I promised other stories, so here is another one!!)
The Gem
It's another day for the teen titans. They just got a call about Madame Rouge escaping her icy capture from the battle with the brother hood of evil and are running to capture her once again.
Starfire is carrying Robin in her arms while flying, Raven is levitating above the pair looking down at the ground trying to search for the villain, and Cyborg is being carried by Beastboy in his pterodactyl form.
"Look!!" Raven said seeing something move in the shadows. What she thought was Madame Rouge.
All the titans hearing this lowered to the ground to see what the mysterious figure was.
They all huddled around the edge of the block looking carefully around the corner.
"Are you sure you saw something Raven, cause I don't see anything." Beastboy said mad that he had to change into his human form for nothing.
"I'm sure." Raven said sternly glaring at Beastboy. She saw something for sure; hopefully it would show itself so she wouldn't look crazy.
The titans kept looking over each others shoulders to try to find Madame Rouge. Then a shadow lurked around the corner where the titans were looking.
"There!!" Robin said seeing the figure.
"Titans go!!" He said not hesitating.
They popped out of the corner they were hiding behind and formed into a fighting stance to see an old woman standing there with a basket in her hands. The woman had dark white hair, and wrinkled skin, and obviously wasn't Madame Rouge.
"Congratulations Robin you found an old lady." Raven said
Robin peered back embarrassed on his choice. I almost fought an old woman he thought.
Starfire and the others tried to hide back their giggles, but Star couldn't help it and started laughing incessantly. Robin looked at her hurt that she would laugh at his failure. Once Starfire saw his worried look she stopped laughing in an instant.
"Sorry Robin. I could not help myself." She said putting a hand over his shoulder trying t comfort him.
"People make mistakes. It is ok." She said.
"Yeah, well heroes don't make mistakes." Robin said brushing off Star's hand over his shoulder. Star had a look of hurt and shock on her face when Robin brushed her hand off. She then brought her hand to her heart hurt as ever. Robin ignoring her look of sorrow said "Come one lets go home and search from there." All the titans except Starfire moved on with Robin. Star walked behind slowly giving space between her and her team. As she passed the old lady she felt she needed to say something. So she turned to the very old lady and began to apologize.
"I am sorry, my friends and I thought you were someone else. It will never happen again." She said looking at the women's forgiving face. She almost began to cry trying to hold back the tears. The old women comforted her resting her wrinkly hand on Stars shoulder, just as she had done to Robin.
"Its ok honey, even heroes make mistakes." She said smiling at Starfire cheerfully.
"Oh thank you old lady!! You have lifted my spirits!! Now I must go talk to Robin and make up with him." She said so happy of this peep talk. Starfire went to fly towards the tower when she heard a faint scream.
"Wait!!" The old lady said. Starfire landed softly back on the ground.
"Would you like to have this?" she asked taking a gem out of her bag that was a shiny pink color. Starfire looked at it in awe her eyes becoming a large green staring at the beautiful gem.
"Oh what is it!!" Star asked curious.
"It is a gem. Just like your dark friend has. I have had it for a while now and wondered if you would like it." The old women responded still holding the gem in her hands.
"Oh yes I would like this gem. Oh thank you!! This has truly been the best cheer up I have ever received!!" She exclaimed gently hugging the old lady and taking the gem from her hands. She then stuck the gem to her forehead and flew away towards her home leaving the old lady standing in the ally alone.
(Well there is the first chapter 1!! I promise it gets better!!!)
