Hey, i have to say that i'm not very proud of this chapter, it feels more like a filler. Plus, I wanted to get another chapter up. It's going to get much more interesting in the next few chapters, i promise. I don't own the teen titans.


Katie screamed happily as we soared above Jump City. Before long we made it to the Tower. As i landed, I was painfully reminded of my hurt foot. I grunted, quickly shifting my weight. "You okay?" Beast Boy asked. Katie answered before i could. "She

fell down a hole and hurt her foot." "Yeah, twisted my ankle pretty bad, but it'll be fine-" "Sit." Raven ordered. I opened my mouth to say something, then thought better of it and complied. As she put her hand on my ankle Katie ran around the Tower,

checking everything from the view, to the kitchen, to even the toilets. Which she claimed were somehow cooler than the ones at home. "Uh, Kaida? It's not just twisted,

it's fractured. How did you not feel that?" I raised my eyebrows. I'd never fractured a bone before. I assumed my weird mutant dragon DNA must've helped me with the pain. "Must be a dragon thing or something. I thought i'd just twisted it." "So you

fell down a hole?" Beast Boy asked. I cracked a smile at Katie's choice of words. "When the building was collapsing part of the floor gave out and i fell through. I managed to fly out just in time though." Just then Katie ran up to me and jumped on my back. "Kaida this place is awesome!" She yawned. "I think it's time for a nap, Katie." I

told her. She gasped dramatically, then jumped off my back. "NO NO NO NO NO! No naps!" She yawned again before running and hiding behind Robin. I smiled, i'd really missed Katie. "I'm never taking a nap again. Never!" 5 minutes later she was fast

asleep in my room. I snuck out quietly after tucking her in. I walked down the hall to the living room, where the rest of the Titans were waiting for me to tell them what happened. I looked down, happy to not see Slade's uniform anymore, but my usual

black and red outfit. I'd changed the first chance i got, and literally burned the other outfit. When i got to the living room the Titans stopped talking to look at me. "Okay, i can not believe i missed you guys staring at me." "Sorry." Robin apologized. I shrugged and sat down. "So where should i start?" I asked. "From when Slade kidnapped

you." Robin answered. I nodded. "Okay, I blacked out right after we left, so i'm not sure what happened while i was unconscious. But i woke up at that lair you guys destroyed a little while ago. My wings were hurt so i couldn't use my powers and i was tied up, so i couldn't really do anything. Slade came in and basically said if i didn't do

what he said then Katie would get hurt. I agreed, and he left me and Katie alone. The next day he gave me a healing chemical that he'd stolen for my wings, so i could use my powers. He gave me the uniform and the communicator and sent me on that

first mission. He was watching everything through camera's i had hidden in my uniform. He was talking to me through this," I held up the ear piece, and Robin took it to

examine it. "And i left the communicator and flew into an alley and hid until you guys left. Then i went back to Slade and gave him the ray gun thing. After that he 'trained' me for the next few days before I went on the other mission. You guys were there for that, so-" "Yeah that reminds me, why did you yell no while we were fighting?"

Cyborg asked. I paled thinking about it. "Slade said i wasn't fighting to win and said if i didn't then Katie would...you know. I was yelling at him not to do it. I threw fire and ran back to the hideout. When i got there, Slade was mad that i hadn't gotten the crown thing and attacked. I got really mad and lost control of my powers. We

fought for a few minutes until you guys got there. While you guys fought Slade i went to find Katie. I got her out of the room she was in just as he activated the self destruct, and tried to get back out. Part of the floor gave out and i fell in, but managed

to throw Katie to safety. I was able to fly out of the hole and got out of the building where we found you." I finished just as i heard Katie wake up. I stood up to go get

her, and Starfire asked "Where are you going?" "Katie's up." I started to walk out, but changed to a run when i heard her start crying. I heard the others following when i started running, probably making sure nothing was wrong, but I didn't pay them any attention. I opened the door to my room, and saw Katie curled up in bed crying. I

rushed over to her, and gently scooped her up into my lap. "Nightmare?" I asked. She nodded into my chest. I rocked her gently, rubbing her back and whispering soothing things in her ear. Eventually she fell back asleep, and i laid her back down. I stood up and turned around, running smack into Starfire. I jumped out of my skin, i hadn't

known the Titans were still behind me. I motioned for them to be quiet and followed them out. "I knew Slade was bad but i didn't know he was so bad he'd give a little

girl nightmares. He really crossed the line here-" "It wasn't Slade." I interrupted Cyborg. They all looked at me questioningly. "She's had nightmares since our parents died a few months ago." I said quietly. "Oh, Kaida i'm-" Beast Boy started. "Don't." I said. "It's fine." I walked past them back to the living room. By the time they got there, i was pigging out on everything in sight, except for any meat. I was still disgusted

by that cheeseburger. Their jaws all dropped when they saw how much i was eating. "And i thought Cyborg could eat a lot." Raven said. I blushed slightly, but didn't stop. "Yeah, didn't Slade feed you?" I know Beast Boy was joking, but he was right. I ignored the question by stuffing a piece of bread in my mouth. But they got the message.

"He didn't let you eat?!" Robin exclaimed. I swallowed. "Well, not a lot. I had a salad, a piece of pizza, and a cheeseburger." I shuddered at the last one. "Aren't you a vegetarian?" Cyborg asked. "Yeah, i was really hungry. Besides i was doing a lot of work,

so i needed as much food as i could get. I finished off a tofu sandwich, finally satisfied. "So... What are you going to do with Katie?" Robin asked. He could tell i didn't want to discuss this anymore. "Take her home, i guess." "Home? Didn't your parents-?" Robin didn't finish his sentence. "She lives with her aunt." "Isn't she your aunt too?"

Beast Boy asked. "No, we're technically half sisters. See, my biological dad left when i was a baby, my mom remarried and had Katie. But the guy she married was just like my dad and his sister takes care of Katie now." They nodded in understanding.

"Um, Kaida? Maybe this isn't the best time, but do you think you could explain your past a bit more, I think we're all still confused-" "Kaida?" I was grateful that Katie interrupted. I wasn't quite ready to tell them everything yet. "What's wrong Katie?" I

asked. "Do i have to go back to auntie Sue?" She pouted. I gave her a comforting smile and nodded. "I want to stay here with you!" She exclaimed dramatically." "Sorry Kat. Sue's probably already having a heart attack as it is. Besides wouldn't you miss your friends?" "They can be my friends." She pointed at the Titans. "Wouldn't you

miss your aunt? Or your school? Or your pet turtle?" Her eyes widened as she gasped. "I Forgot about Timmy! We've gotta go back now!" I laughed at her urgency. "Calm down. I'll fly you back tomorrow. Want a cheese puff?" I held the bag out to her

and she eagerly dove in. "Your from Texas, right?" Robin asked. I nodded, surprised he'd remembered that. "You think you're going to be able to fly yourself and Katie all the way back there?" "Hey i flew here didn't I? It'll only take a few days to get there and back. "Um, Kaida? You know about the t-ship, right?"

Raven asked. I raised my eyebrows. "What's the T-ship?" I asked. A few minutes later me and Katie were staring at the rocket with wide eyes. Man, what don't these guys have?" "We can fly Katie home tomorrow, i think it's time for us to turn in." I nodded. Tomorrow was sure to be a long day. Little did i know just how big it would be.


The next day, we were flying back to my hometown in the t-ship. Robin and Starfire had offered to share a seat so me and Katie could sit together. Unfortunately i had forgotten that Katie was horrible during road trips. Her constant

"are we there yet," and complaining of boredom had made everyone turn off their mics, so I was the only one who would have to suffer through it. After about and hour I was thinking of jumping out of the ship. "Kaida? Why couldn't we fly on your wings? It's a lot more fun than this." I groaned. "Katie, If i take you for a ride with my wings, will you promise to take a nap?" She nodded eagerly. Even though i suspected

she was bluffing, I was fine with stretching my wings out. Plus, i did want her to enjoy herself. I switched my mike back on and said; "I'm taking Katie for a ride, kay?" I

didn't wait for an answer as i put her on my back. Robin's voice came over the mike. "You sure that's safe? We're pretty high up." "Oh, it's fine. I've flown higher than this before. Besides Katie weighs like 30 pounds. I could probably fly her all the way back to the tower if i wanted. Plus, she claims if i take her for a ride she'll take a nap."

"Okay, but be careful." I made sure Katie was holding on tight, and opened the top. I stood up, enjoying stretching my legs. "Hold on Katie." I warned over the rush of the wind, and jumped from the ship. She shrieked as we fell for a moment, before i opened my wings and caught the wind. I soared up higher, until i was right above the

ship. Katie laughed over the wind and waved at the titans. "Hold on!" I yelled to her. She held on tighter. "More!" She yelled. "Okay, you asked for it." I put on a burst of speed and tilted myself, so i was rolling in the air. Instead of being scared like most

7 year olds would be, Katie was simply laughing. I righted myself and flew level with the ship again. "Ready to go in?" I asked. "NO!" She screamed. I laughed. "You are definitely my sister." I said more to myself than her. "Look!" Katie yelled. I looked at

the ground, and saw what she meant. The farm we were flying over was the one on the outskirts of our hometown. We were here.
