'Dude you're English?'
Beastboy shrieked at her.
'Ummmm yeah?'
'That is so cool!'
Robin raised an eyebrow ignoring Beastboy
'Wait a minute, how did you get here, and where are you from?'
Myth shrugged at him.
'Flew and England of course'
The Titans looked at her with eyes wide in shock.
'You mean to tell us you flew from England to here?'
Raven said. Myth nodded and grinned.
'Yup that's what happens when you have dragon blood running through your veins, huge amounts of stamina!'
'DRAGON BLOOD?!?!'
They all yelled, Myth looked at the floor and covered her eyes with her hands.
'Let me tell you the story of how I came to be, get comfortable it's a long one!'
It all began 30 years ago, when a brilliant scientist was knighted for works to science and helping humanity. His name is Sir Arthur Rothwyn, all his work had by this time made a multi-millionaire. Always at the back of his mind he felt he deserved more. He moved his best and trusted scientists to a new lab underneath Rothwyn Labs. Here they began work on Project Myth. All his life Rothwyn had this obsession with legends and the unknown, mainly dragons. By this time he had amassed a huge collection of dragon artefacts, most of the fake but a few real gems. He wanted to produce a weapon so powerful that nothing could stop it, save him. A creature that could blend in but turn at any time, a half human half dragon. For years they tried to get the formula correct. Rothwyn himself giving his DNA to be used plus an unknown female scientist gave hers.
So many of the creations died some in the foetal stage others as babies, none made it past 2 years old. They were close to giving up when a new sample appeared on the black market a full body encased in ice, fully intact. It was just what was needed to complete the fragile DNA. Using this priceless specimen 10 more of the creatures were made, I was one of them.
All 10 made it past the previous stages to become toddlers. Once we could walk the training began. First we had to conquer flight, their methods were similar to a mother birds push us and see what happened! We didn't fly. They knew our wings were beneath our skin but not how to make them emerge. After numerous tests they discovered we needed a certain mineral to give us the added boost to induce flight. This mineral administered once daily soon had us flying. Here the real tests began, how to stimulate transformation? Simulation rooms we designed to show us the real world without us ever leaving the lab.
In those rooms they found our secret. Frustration. Unfortunately 3 of my siblings died fighting the machines without transforming, the rest of us survived by the skin of our teeth. Transforming into dragon mutants our scales the same colour as our hair. Once we had mastered the transformation, came my nightmare. We were to fight until we could fight no more, fight those machines and ones more powerful.
Rothwyn called it survival of the fittest, I called it cold hearted. The scientists actually bet on who would be the first to perish at the hands of the mechanical beasts. I never saw my siblings again; they either died or were sold as pets. Play things! All I know is destruction. If I had not escaped, on my eighteenth birthday I was to be sent to destroy you and all the other superheroes, then any villains who didn't comply with his rule. I do know this; I haven't even tapped my powers yet, I'm capable of so much more and that scares me.
I think they used an evil dark dragons DNA, my own anger scares me more than anything. But that's me in a nut shell if you don't want me around id completely understand, I mean you don't even know me!'
Myth finished her narrative, tears streaming from her eyes a nervous look across her face. The Titans looked at each other in silence. Myth looked from one to another; Star was sitting next to Robin tears streaming from her eyes also. Beastboy was stunned to silence along with Cyborg. Robin and Raven both seemed angry and cautious.
Cyborg recovered suitably to speak.
'I'd like to do a few exploratory tests if you don't mind? I'm curious!'
Myth shrugged. Robin and Raven nodded at each other. Robin reached out his hand and shook Myths.
'Welcome to the team!' He smiled.
Starfire launched herself at Myth and gave her a Starfire special hug. Myth looked in horror at the Starfire attached to her waist. She gingerly returned the hug and smiled. Robin pulled Star from her with a smile.
'Come on Myth needs her rest; we'll set a room up for you tomorrow if that's ok?'
Myth nodded vigorously. Her eyelids began drooping as she fought back a yawn. Robin shooed the others from the room.
'Robin are you sure about this?'
Raven raised an eyebrow at him.
'Only time will tell.'
