I don't own TT. Just Lena.
Guest: Thank you! I'm glad that you think that it is awesome!
Lena's POV
After being careful that I wasn't noticed and getting lost twice, I finally made it back to the tree that I hoped would be my home in Jump City. I looked up at Sparkles, a robin that saved me from getting lost a third time.
"Thanks Sparkles," I said very gratefully. The small robin jumped off my shoulder and flew in front of my face.
"No problem…ooh sparkly!" Sparkles exclaimed as she flew towards a quarter on the ground that the sun was reflecting on. I chuckled.
"Lena! There you are!" cried a familiar voice. I looked up and saw Barry flying down towards me. He stopped a few inches from my face and hovered there.
"You just ran off! I didn't know what you were doing so I just stayed here, hoping you will return soon. But you didn't!" chirped an irritated Barry. Poor guy, I just left him hanging.
"I'm sorry Barry. The Teen Titans needed my help," I apologized.
"You speak to birds? You are indeed a curious one Lena," said a voice behind me. Startled and very much afraid, I turned around and gasped in surprise. Speedy was behind me. What is he doing here? He is supposed to be in Steel City! Are the rest of Titans East here? And…how in the world does he know my name?
"How do you know my name?" I asked him, moving my feet in a way so that I can run at a full sprint at any second.
"You don't know me, but my family was sleeping at my Dad's friend's house the night you killed your parents," he replied coldly. My heart was suddenly seized with the icy cold hand of fear.
"I didn't kill them," I told him a bit pleadingly. I took a step backwards.
"Um, I saw you. Your house was all burned down and you were…on fire. But you weren't screaming in pain or anything. Then the fire went out and you weren't burned at all," he told me, getting close to me while getting out his bow and arrow. I took a few more steps backwards. So that is what I looked like to my neighbors. No wonder they thought me a demon and a freak.
"Then about a week ago, you tried to burn down an apartment building in Steel City. My city," Speedy continued. I remember that, but I was trying to save it, not burn it. Wait…how did he know that I was there?
"I didn't start the fire. I was trying to put it out," I said, a bit more pleadingly.
"Yeah right. Anyway, I managed to catch a glimpse of you touching the building and you were on fire. Just like all those years ago. Luckily, I was able to find the truck driver who gave you a ride to my city. He told me that you were going to Jump City. So leaving my teammates to take care of Steel City, I left so I can bring you to justice before you did any more damage," Speedy said getting even closer. I kept walking backwards till my back hit the tree. What should I do? If I run, he can easily shoot me, or tackle me. I can't fight him, it's not his fault that he thinks I'm a bad guy. I am a freak after all. A good freak, but a freak nevertheless.
"I'm a good guy. Really," I said, trying to convince him. But the fear was evident in my voice.
"I don't believe you. But if you come with me quietly, I will see that you will get a nice cell in Steel City," offered Speedy, his arrow now only inches from my face.
"Get that arrow away from our Queen!" cried Sparkles. I looked up and saw Barry, Sparkles, and the woodpecker from earlier fly straight to Speedy and started attacking him.
"Ah! Get away from me!" He cried, trying to get the birds away from him.
"Run Lena!" cried Barry.
"Yeah, while we still have this annoying human!" added the woodpecker. I immediately started running as fast as I could.
"Be careful! And don't hurt him! And thank you!" I cried to the birds. If they answered, I didn't hear it. That was because in a matter of seconds, I had left the park and was well on my way into the heart of Jump City. I guess there will be no planning where to go next, finding some food and money, or sleeping under the tree tonight. I got to leave Jump City now.
Ah! What's going to happen next? Well, keep on reading and you will find out!
