Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans, all I own is Sylvina or any other OCs that I come up with. Thanks for the reviews. So, here it is.
Friend or Foe (Chapter 1)
Raven and Sylvina had just arrived at the pizza place, the other Titans were already there though. They sat at a round, brown table with an umbrella shading them from the sun, once Sylvina and Raven sat down Starfire began to ask a few questions.
"What is your favorite color? Where do you come from? What is your favorite animal? How did you get your powers? What is your age? Do you wish to be my friend?" Starfire asked, her voice was kind, energetic, and fast.
"Um… blue." Sylvina started, trying to remember all the questions Starfire asked, "Earth, I think. A dove. I'm not sure. I'm 8. And sure, I guess."
"Glorious!" Starfire relplied, hugging Sylvina. "Hello, new friend!"
"Um… is she always like this?" Sylvina asked once she was able to breathe again.
"Pretty much." Beast Boy replied, "So, you like doves? Bet you like swimming, too." Beast Boy laughed but the others stayed silent, "Dove sounds like dove which is the past tense of dive, get it?" Beast Boy remained silent until the pizza arrived. (A.N: Yeah, um… I'm terrible at making jokes, sorry.)
"Yum!" Cyborg said as soon as the pizza was delivered to their table. "I'm starving!" He stuffed his mouth full of food.
Robin noticed that Sylvina wasn't eating much, "Hey, Sylvina, is something wrong? You've barely touched your food. Did Raven-"
"She didn't do anything." Sylvina replied, she knew what Robin was going to say, "I'm just not used to eating this much, normally I don't get lunch or breakfast and dinner is just some rice grains and lettuce."
The Titans stayed silent until Raven spoke up. "That's not healthy, I don't eat that much either but you're a child, you need to grow."
Sylvina felt like the Titans actually cared about her and weren't afraid of her powers. "Ok, Raven." She whispered, she had never eaten pizza in her life, it tasted, well, good.
Sudden shrieks could be heard and behind it all was Dr. Light. He used his powers to knock down buildings and scare the civilians.
"Titans Go!" Robin shouted, "Stay here Sylvina." And he left, Sylvina was observing their battle moves and who this person was.
Raven did what she always did to Dr. Light but this time Dr. Light came prepared. He made his light powers stronger by turning Raven's powers into light powers that he could use. Raven was soon weakened, Cyborg's metal had been fused together by heat, Starfire was trapped inside a light barrier, Beast Boy was trapped in metal that stuck him to the ground, and Robin was just plain knocked out. Dr. Light continued to destroy buildings and threaten the other people.
Sylvina saw her friends and other people getting hurt, so she decided to take charge herself. "Tup sffucdnah no .rD thgiL." She whispered. And immediately handcuffs appeared on his hands.
"Hey who did this? Show yourself!" Dr. Light shouted.
Sylvina did the one thing she never thought she would do, she stepped out and faced Dr. Light. "I did." She said, confidently.
"Sylvina?" Raven whispered as she saw her step out to face him.
"A pathetic child?" Dr. Light scoffed, "Are you serious?" He broke out of the handcuffs and pointed his powers at Sylvina, but she didn't move. True courage could be seen in her eyes. "Aren't you scared child?" He walked closer to Sylvina, almost touching her with his powers.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Sylvina asked, "You?" Sylvina chuckled, but it wasn't her voice that was talking. The voice sounded demonic and powerful.
Dr. Light shot light strait at Sylvina but she deflected it easily, "That all you got?" A ghost like appearance appeared behind Sylvina as Dr. Light stepped back. "What's the matter? Afraid?" Her eyes turned white and glowed, white energy filled her hands and she held her fist up to Dr. Light, ready to strike.
Sylvina let go and her powers were aiming for Dr. Light but he used his light powers to reflect Sylvina's powers and it hit her necklace instead. Her moon locket glowed then fell to the ground, she also fell and lay on the ground unconscious and the ghost-like appearance disappeared. Dr. Light was weakened enough to be put in jail.
Raven rushed over to Sylvina, "Sylvina?" She shook her, trying to let her gain consciousness, but she still lay still. "Sylvina!"
This time Sylvina opened her eyes, "R-Raven? What happened?" Raven let her stand up.
"You don't remember?" Raven asked, Sylvina shook her head, "You took down Dr. Light."
"That doesn't sound like something I would do." Sylvina replied, "I do remember getting mad then blacking out and now, waking up."
"Maybe she's like you, Raven." Robin came out of nowhere, "Maybe she also has an angry side but just has no memory of it."
"No, someone or something was controlling her, I can feel it." Raven looked over at her locket, it glowed then opened, Raven walked over to it and picked it up, "Mistress Megana!" Raven shouted.
There was a picture imprinted inside of the locket, it showed a white-haired woman wearing a grey dress and having indigo eyes. It also imprinted a man with black hair, hazel eyes and wearing a yellow top with orange pants. They were holding a child in their hands, that child was none other than Sylvina.
"Mistress who?" Sylvina was confused.
"Mistress Megana," Raven repeated, handing Sylvina her locket back, "The most powerful sorcerous ever known, you're her daughter?!" Raven was indeed surprised but seeing how she used her powers, who would expect less?
"I would like to learn more about my mother." Sylvina said, "Do you know who my father is?" Raven shook her head, "Oh, well, do you have any books on my mother?"
"She was part of Azarath's history, of course I have books about her." Raven said, "Follow me." The other Titans went back to the tower later on.
The door to Raven's room opened and she immediately levitated as many books as she could find on Azarath and Megana. "Here." Raven put the books beside Sylvina who was still looking at the picture.
Sylvina observed her father's picture closely and a demon appeared. It had the same base coat and horns as Trigon, but what was different was it had black hair and white glowing eyes, besides that everything else was basically the same. Sylvina gasped at the sight.
"What's wrong?" Raven was concerned.
"Oh, um… nothing." Sylvina wasn't sure what to say. "I thought I saw… nevermind. So, are these books all about Megana?"
"Most of them." Raven replied. "Do you want to read these in your room?"
"My room?" Sylvina was confused.
"Considering you might be here for some time the Titans and I decided to give you your own room." Raven replied, she levitated the books and went out of the room. "Come with me."
After passing a few hallways they finally arrived at a room that had Sylvina's name on it. The door opened, blue wallpaper lined the walls and the lights were shaped like doves. Her bed was rectangular with light blue mattresses and white pillows. There was a dark blue closet at the opposite end of her bed and a door that led to the bathroom. Beside her bed lay a small light purple table, on top there was a communicator.
"This is my room?" Sylvina was shocked, Raven nodded, "I-I don't deserve this."
"You helped us defeat Dr. Light, of course you deserve it." Raven replied as she reached for the communicator, "And if you ever need me or the Titans you know what to do. It's getting pretty late, I'll leave you to settle in, see you in the morning." And Raven left.
Sylvina lay on her bed, it really was soft, but then again, she had never slept on a bed before. "sehtolC egnahc otni samajap." And her clothes changed into blue footy pajamas with white doves. She sat on her bed, ready to start reading when an old friend paid her a visit. "Snow!" She shouted.
Snow was the white dove that would always keep her company wherever she was. Snow was standing on an open window in her room. "You found me!" Sylvina let Snow rest in her hands and took her inside of her room. "teL em dnatsrednu uoy." She said and Snow started talking.
"Sylv! I've missed you!" Snow said, in her own language that is. Sylv was the nickname that Snow always gave her so she just went with it.
"I've found out that my mother is a powerful sorcerous, isn't that great?" Sylvina was very happy.
"That's great news but…" Snow stopped for a moment. "Where is she?"
"I… I'm not sure." Sylvina levitated one book and began to read. "Hopefully this book gives some answers."
The cover of the book read: The next Azar. As the pages flipped some words caught Sylvina's eye. It read: A 12-year-old girl appeared in Azarath one day, she was from another dimension. This place, called Zutari was unlike any other place, it was always night there and darkness controlled the planet. The planet would be destroyed one day so the king and queen of Zutari, Megana's parents, decided to send her to Azarath, they'd known some friends there, and one of them was Azar. Once Megana's parents teleported her to Azarath, the whole planet turned dark, well, darker than before that is, and then it just vanished. Young Megana grew up by Azar's side, she remained like a daughter to him, when she turned 18, Azar knew it was time for her to pass down all she knew to her adoptive daughter. After many years of training Azar thought that Megana was ready to take her place but one day, she just disappeared without a trace. To this day, no one knows where Megana is or even if she's alive.
A knock on the door surprised Sylvina, it was Starfire. The door slowly opened and she came face to face with the smiling alien. "Greetings friend Sylvina!" She shouted. "I was sent to check on you, are you doing the ok?"
"Hi, um…" Sylvina tried to recall the alien's name, "Starfire. I'm doing great, I really appreciate what you all did for me."
"Yo, Sylv!" Beast Boy shouted from the end of the hall, "Wanna play some video games?" He finally reached Sylvina's door, "Cy is waiting and we're playing spider monkey 4, coming?"
"What's a video game?" Sylvina had indeed never heard of this since no one ever talked about playing in her adoptive family.
Beast Boy's mouth widened, "Are you serious?" Sylvina remained silent, "Oh, I guess you are. Well, you play with controllers and a projection of the game comes up on the TV screen."
"I do not think that friend Sylvina should stay up that late." Starfire spoke up, "She is still a child and needs to rest."
"Sorry, um… Beast Boy is it?" Sylvina was hesitant, Beast Boy nodded, "I guess I do need to sleep, but maybe in the morning?" Beast Boy nodded and left. "Thanks for checking on me Starfire."
"It is no problem, goodnight friend Sylvina." And with that, she left.
Sylvina lay on her soft bed with Snow resting on the bedside table. "Good night Snow." She whispered and slowly drifted off to sleep.
"My dear daughter, your power has grown." A familiar voice said, it was like an angel. "I look forward to seeing you." Then the voice vanished.
"My child." A demonic voice with a low tone appeared, "I hope you know that we love you from the bottom of our hearts, we will see you again." And once again, everything was quiet and dark.
"Wait!" Sylvina shouted, there was no response. "Who are you? Where are you?" She ran around in the darkness, not knowing where she was headed.
A bright light then blinded Sylvina, when she was able to see again there stood two demons, one was Trigon and the other was his younger brother, Terron. It was the same image of the demon that she saw in her locket. In another flash of light her mother appeared. "Do we have to leave her?" She asked, holding Sylvina in her hands.
"Trigon will come looking for her, we have no other choice." Terron had tears in his eyes. "Here, put this around her neck." Terron handed a moon locket to Megana. "It will keep her safe against my brother, when the time is right she will be able to open it and find out who we are."
"Sylvina, my dear baby girl, it breaks my heart that you'll grow up and I won't see it." Megana cried silently, "But we will always be in your heart." Megana opened a portal and in an instant Sylvina was gone.
A few moments later, a black hole appeared and grabbed hold of Megana, "Terron! Help me!" She shouted, her powers were no use against what was pulling her down. "Terron!" And she vanished, her screams of terror haunted the room.
"Megana!" But Terron was too late, "Megana…" It was hard for him to lose the two people that he cared for the most, he sat alone until Trigon appeared.
Voices called Sylvina's name multiple times. "Silvina~" They said. "Sylvina wake up~" The image of Terron disappeared and she was again lost in the darkness.
"Mother!" She shouted, waking up from her nightmare. She could see things that lay on the ground and the Titans looking concerned.
"Sylvina, you ok girl?" Cyborg asked. The Titans looked at her concerned.
"I'm fine…" Sylvina thought about her parents, "Just a nightmare."
"Your nightmare moved everything in the tower." Robin said. "What was it about?"
"My parents…" Sylvina looked down, using her powers to put everything back in place.
Raven could tell that Sylvina was hiding something and decided to speak up, "Maybe I should have a talk with Sylvina." The other Titans looked at Raven, "Alone." The others left, as soon as they did Raven sat next to Sylvina. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing… Raven?" Sylvina continued, "What do you know about Trigon's brother?"
"I'm not sure that he has one." Raven replied, she thought for a minute before continuing, "I think that my father has talked about his younger brother once or twice. Terron was his name I think. Why do you ask?"
That name was the exact same as the one Raven just said, "While I was asleep, I saw my mother and my father's true form." Sylvina paused, "He was a demon with black hair and white eyes and his name was Terron. My mother sent me to Earth because Trigon was coming after me, but a strange black hole thing pulled her down."
"Wait, so you're my cousin?!" Raven was confused, Sylvina nodded slightly, "Was there anything else?"
"No…" Sylvina whispered slightly, "I woke up after that. What if my mother is hurt or even worse? Where even is my father? What if-"
Raven cut her off, "They will be fine." Raven tried to calm her down. "If you would like, we can head to the library for some answers, but first, you need to change clothes. I'll be outside waiting for you." And she left.
"egnahC ym sehtolc." And almost instantly her clothes change from pajamas to a light blue top, dark blue jean, and a pair of black sneakers. She didn't tie her hair into a pony tail, instead she kept it down. Her little friend was still asleep so she decided to just leave her there.
Sylvina spotted Raven sitting on the edge of the island that Titan Tower was built on. Raven felt her presence and stood up, "Ready to go?" Sylvina nodded and they both levitated to the town library.
Note: Sorry, I know this is a bit rushed. I probably will add pairings into the story but first I need to know which pairings you would like to see (Robrae, Robstar, BBrae, BBstar, etc.) so please review and tell me. The reason that I started this story is because it is partly true and I just wanted to get it off my back. I was bullied when I was in third grade. Sometimes I don't feel excepted like I'm not a normal person, but after I started writing stories I sort of felt like I was in the right place. I've encountered some, well, not very nice reviews but that won't stop me from writing, I love to write no matter what anyone else says. But I will try to change my writing style or ideas if someone tells me to. Once again, please review, that would mean a lot to me, thanks!
