Yo yo yo Storm in the his-house!

I really am getting back into this story! I was worried that I was loosing interest in it, but who am I kidding? I love Dianne (I call her that cuz my name is Storm and that might be confusing) Gale, Nightfire, BB, Rae, ect. ect. WAY too much to not love writing this!

But what really helps is your guys reviews. Eager requests for a next chapter and concern over the characters really kicks my rear in gear!

So I'm going into overtime to finish this! I swear, how long ago did I come up with this story? Pretty much a year ago. I've known how it would end since then, and I STILL haven't put it out for you guys!

Forgive me! D:

So why am I still talking? Onto the story!

(P.S. I changed the summery of this story. Hope ya don't mind :P)


"You have GOT to be kidding me," the older Raven said in disbelief. Brightstar stood before her, looking upset but still determined. Older Raven put her hands on her head and groaned.

"What?" Nightwing asked. She turned to him, eyes narrowed.

"Your son lost my daughter," she said. The older Starfire gasped.

"Well where is he now?" she asked. Her daughter answered.

"He went to find her. And if it is any consultation, he feels extremely guilty for not being able to stop her."

"I don't care how he feels as long as she gets back safe," Beast Boy snapped. He was then taken aback by the feeling behind his words. Storm technically wasn't his daughter yet, and he already was feeling like and overprotective father. Huh.

"Can't we argue later?" the older Cyborg said. "We need to just go find her."

"Agreed," Starfire said.

"So what are we waiting around for?" Victor said, sounding much like his impatient mother. "Let's go!"

He ran forward, Brightstar right on his heels. There were so many breaks in the Tower that they didn't need to go to the doors to find an exit. The others followed quickly behind them.

Raven again reminded herself there would be time for her questions to be answered later.

Right now, she needed to help her daughter.


Storm finally let her pace slow when she rounded an alley, drawing a strange comfort from the shadows that lie there. Never understood to her, but she found that when she was upset, angry, overwhelmed, or anything of the sort, she could always find peace in darkness. Never when she was not subject to these negative emotions, however.

She was afraid of the dark.

But not right now.

Right now, it was taking over.

"What's happening to me?" she murmured meekly, putting her hands on the sides of her head. She thought back to how she had lashed out at Nightfire, and guilt flooded through her. He was her best friend! How could she be so cruel to him?

She had never felt this way before. Yes, she had been angry. Yes, she had been scared. Anxious. Hurt. Lost. Overwhelmed.

What was happening to her?

It was as though another force was trying to consume her. She was in her own body, but not the one who controlled it. Her mind was clear enough to know what was going on, but not clear enough to make sense of the actions around her.

Storm's thought led back to her brother. Gale…he wasn't allowed to be hurt. He wasn't allowed to be…


"Gale!" she snapped, pushing herself up off the ground, glaring at her brother. "I totally coulda handled that stupid bully by myself!"

Gale just smiled, rubbing the back of his head. "Sorry sis. You know how I get. I can't stand watching anyone mess with my little sister."

"Overprotective brother much?"

"Yup!" he said cheerily, picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder, ignoring her protest. "Your super-cool big bro will always be there to kick the butt of whoever makes the mistake of trying to hurt you."


Storm winced, trying to push back the memory. She couldn't stand it. Gale was the best older brother in the world. She loved him. She didn't say it enough between their arguments and teasing each other but she really did love her brother.

He could be dead because of her.

Storm let out of small cry at the thought, legs going numb and causing her to stumbled to her knees. All he ever did was promise to protect her. How could she do this? How could she just run away and leave their family? Her friends?

It happened again. The dark flames rose up inside her, clouding her mind in deadly revenge.

She got back up, continuing her trek through the shadowed city.

No matter what, she would somehow make this right.


"I say she went this way."

"I say your nuts!"

"Yo! No one asked for your opinion!"

"Oh yeah? Well, I gave it anyway!"

"Listen, she's my best friend and I know she woulda gone this way!"

"And I'm older and I say she went east!"

"Please stop fighting," Brightstar said as Nightfire and Victor fumed at one another. The two boys had a natural instinct to snap at each other over decisions. Weather it was just them, or something to do with their fathers doing the same was a mystery.

Their parents and their younger versions had told them to scout ahead. Nightfire glared angrily at Victor. The older boy was always getting on his nerves.

"Wish Gale was here," he said sadly. Nightfire felt bad for yelling at him when he heard the regret in his voice. "Man's MY best friend. Now both of 'em are missing. Man…"

"We'll find them," Nightfire vowed. "I promise."

"I hate to sound depressing," Brightstar said timidly. "But I wish that Storm was here, with her head straight once more. She was always good at the 'leader' role…"

Nightfire had to agree. Despite being the children of the infamous Nightwing, neither he nor his sister inherited those leadership traits. Out of all the next generation Titans, Dianne was by far the most cut out to lead.

If they could get her to calm down and use her head, Nightfire had little doubt they could find Gale.

He also felt sympathy burn inside him for his miserable looking sister. He knew how much Gale meant to her. Even though he often teased her about it, he hated how much pain she was in with him in danger.

About as much pain as he was in knowing Dianne was in danger.

"So c'mon!" Victor said, yellow energy blasting out from his hands and zapping away some rocks that were in their way. "Let's go get her!"

Nightfire yelped as some of the energy went sideways and hit him.

"Yo!" he said, rubbing his arm. "Watch it, hornet! That stings!"

"What'd you call me, firefly?"

"Oh nothing, zappy."

"Watch your mouth, glowworm!"

"Make me, sparky!"

Brightstar sighed, putting her hand over her face.

They were never going to find their friends.
