Title: So long and Goodnight

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans or Helena by MCR (the obvious lyrics)

Pairings: None.

Tanya's life was unremarkable, even for a girl who never got to grow up to be a woman. She was average in school, had a few friends, and loved pizza. She was a completely average teenager, despite being adopted.

It was the way that she died was what attracted attention.

Living in Jump City had its risks. You had villains who could attack at any point of the day, "heroes" who fought back, and then the gangs in Downtown Jump. Most people lived her for, at most, a year or two, then moved to the suburbs. The schools were kept near the outskirts of town if possible, to save from hazard. The mall was not.

Some crazy villain (who had been caught later, but would get out anyway) decided to try to rob all of the stores in the mall, and when the Titans came to fight...there was a lot of damage.

One small girl went missing for an hour afterward, only to be found by the parking lot. A couple were trapped under wreckage in the Food court, but they got out okay. Other than that, the people thought that everyone who was there had been okay.

That is, until six hours after the fight. A man who was clearing out the wreckage of the Abercrombie and Fitch found a broken cell phone in the back of the store. There was still a pale hand holding it.

Tanya Markos died in the back of an Abercrombie and Fitch, trying to call the police for help, when the ceiling collapsed. Her spine was snapped by a beam, and she severed an artery in her neck. She bled out while the people were trying to clear the store out.

-----

Her few friends from school and their families went to the funeral, a few going up to the alter to speak about what a great person she was, how awesome it was to know her, even for a year. Her parents confessed that they regretted letting her go to the mall that day, but would remember her as their own daughter.

Then, halfway through the service, the door opened. No one paid any attention to the two teenagers who walked in, everyone assuming that everyone else knew who they where. The blonde boy in a black suit, and the girl with purple hair and a black dress sat in the third row from the back. The service continued on.

A few minutes later, a tall man with white, curly hair and an eye patch walked in. A few people began to whisper amongst themselves, and a rumor formed that the man was Tanya's biological father. No one took in the dirty looks the blond teen was shooting across the aisle, but nobody in the back of the church spoke up during the service.

-----

Afterwords, the teenagers and the man were seen arguing in the parking lot. The blonde boy was yelling in the man's face, held back only by the girl who was there with him. The man seemed to be talking quietly, then walked away from them.

The blonde boy was heard to scream after him, "You will never miss her as much as we will!"

To which the man replied, "You mean your friends who don't believe that girl is Terra anyway?"

The blonde boy said nothing, and let the man walk away.

The inscription on Tanya'headstone read, "A daughter and a friend, our Tanya. We will all miss you. So long, and goodnight."

Just a little info
