Luna stood up, shaking water of her ears and her tail. She smoothed out her long blond hair and shook it so all the water was out. Her tangled hair lay in front over her face like a blanket. She flipped it back. She walked up the steep hill and saw the titans tower. She smiled as the crescent moon shaped mark on her forehead began to glow as the moon raised up behind her.
"Teen Titans, we are finally going to meet at last," Luna said as her eyes turned from a light blue to purple.
"Dude! The stoves busted again!" Beast Boy said as he threw his chief hat on the floor.
"Is that a good thing. or a bad thing," Raven said as she watched the television.
"For the sake of us and our stomachs, it's a good thing," Cyborg said as he played on his Gameboy.
"Shouldn't we fix it to make wonderful meals?" Starfire said as she held up. well. something. in a bowl.
"Three words Starfire, Microwave TV Dinners," Robin said as he stared at whatever was in the bowl.
"You gives about TV dinners! We should have some of my tofu! I know you dudes like my tofu," Beast Boy said as he grabbed a bowl from the fridge.
"Um." The titans recited.
"No comment," Cyborg said as he looked up from his game boy.
"Well at least I'm a better cook than Cyborg." Beast boy mumbled aloud.
"WHAT! I will pound you so hard it will hurt your-"
"Gentlemen! Let us not harm one another!" Starfire said trying to pry the two titans away from each other so they would kill anyone.
"Fools. fighting over who is better than the other. and I thought I had worthy opponents." Luna thought as she stared into the window, floating by the psychic disc beneath her. She sighed and looked at the tofu bowl lying on the ground, "I want some tofu though," Luna said sadly, her ears dropping so that they touched her golden strains of hair.
Midnight, when the titans were sleeping, Luna goes on with her plan.
"They are asleep. Time for action." Luna said as she reached through the glass and created a hole to fit her little body into. Walking into the living room/kitchen, she hears a crunch beneath her feet. She gets alarmed and a glow circled around her hand. It's turns out that she just stepped on a potato chip bag. Luna sighed and stepped around the chip bag.
"I thought I would be impressed. but I am not. at least they could of put their snacks away." Luna thought as she grew closer and closer to a stand that had five tiny, round, balls. It was shield with glass, but it was no chance for Luna. The round balls glowed their blue, yellow, pink, white, and black brightly as Luna pulled each of them out and put them in her sack that was tied around her waist. She picked up the big white ball and smiled.
"At last I have found you, my friend. I told you I would come back for you, and I never break a promise. I could've died without you-" but Luna was cut off by a barking voice.
"Who's there! Show your ugly face! Come out and fight like a man!" Robin yelled as he pulled out his metal stick. Luna's purple eyes turned so light that it made them glow. The purple glow circles formed around her fist.
"Wrongo, I'm not a man for one, I'm a women, and a very beautiful one too!" Luna yelled as she swung a glow ball toward the blacked haired boy. Robin couldn't believe his eyes. Standing in front of him was a girl, half- human, and half cat! She just had the ears and the tail of a cat, with a bell collar tied around her neck. Her pink costume was yellow and black, and in the middle of her shirt was a crescent moon. On the left side of her skirt showed a crescent moon too. Then he noticed something. On the girl's forehead, was a crescent moon mark! Even though her hair appeared to be purple at the moment because of the glow balls around her fist, he could tell that her hair color was blonde. Before he could defend himself, he was on his back, facing toward the ceiling. He leaped up and drew out one of his robin-ranges.
"Do you even dare?" Luna asked forcefully, as the glow balls grew brighter and brighter.
"I do!" Robin shouted as he threw his weapon with full force. Before the robin-range even got close to the girl, she destroyed it.
"She practically just like Starfire! Except that she's a cat!" Robin thought astonished.
"Give up, mister, you'll never defeat me!" Luna said as she drew up her fist and banged them together so they created a short spark.
"Mistaken, I will!" Robin yelled as he threw one of his ice bombs at the girl. Ice covered her body up to her head.
"How do you feel now, o defeated one?" Robin asked as he took a step forward.
"Hot!" Luna said as she blew a flame out of her mouth, which melted the ice. Robin stopped, wide-eyed. He grabbed a flame-thrower and pushed the lever to make it shoot out a huge flame. Luna shot a water stream from her mouth, which stopped the flame in mid-air. Robin, running out of ideas, yelled out, "TITANS GO!" The four titans ran (and flew) into the battle scene.
"Luna!" Starfire called out. Luna's eyes went from purple back to blue.
"Starfire!" Luna said in a weak voice. She closed her eyes and when she opened them, they went back to purple.
"Talk about gettin' some ones attention!" Beast Boy said. Luna roared out a scream and shot him with a purple glow ball. Starfire look surprised.
"Luna, what are you doing! This is not how you were taught!"
"You mean you know each other!" Cyborg yelled as his arm turned into his ray gun.
"None of that matters!" Luna said as she shot two glow balls at Cyborg and Raven. Luna looked at Starfire, then over to Robin. She shot at him again, which ended up him lying on the floor again. Luna looked over at Starfire. Her eyes going back to blue. Luna took a step back and closed her eyes.
"I'm sorry Starfire!" Luna said as she choked on her tears. She ran into the window and dived into the water. Starfire looked out into the sea bank to see a friend swim away.
"Who was she?" Robin asked as he picked up the tiny pieces of glass that only eye could see.
"That was Luna, princess of the moon," Starfire said as she sat in the chair next to the window.
"The moon, but no one can live on the moon," Beast Boy said as he changed into a lion and swept the glass up with his tail.
"Her kind can. They are blessed with cat abilities, and most of them are blessed with more,"
"And she's one of them," Raven said as she looked up from the book she was reading.
"Yes, she is blessed with so many powers, that she had to go though training just to use them all, but not in a bad way,"
"She blew me in one hit! I never even got the chance to hit her!" Cyborg cried as he sat down in a corner.
"None of us did, Cyborg. She is one of our hardest villains-" Robin was cut off.
"Please, do not call her a villain! She is a very nice girl! She has spilt emotions, so she really wasn't herself,"
"I still don't trust her. She took those balls we found." Robin said in a mad tone. Starfire looked at him sadly. She got up and flew in her room.
"Why to go Robin," Raven said as she brought her book down. Robin looked at her for a while and turned around.
Luna entered a coffee shop next to the sea bank. She hid her cat ears under a New York Yankees hat she found in the big garbage can, which hid her crescent moon mark too. Her tail was tucked into some panted she found, and she changed her shirt from a pick tee with a moon mark and black shapes on it, to a red tee with a sun on it. She got many stares from the men. They smiled as she passed. She reached the counter and sat in the seat that was connected to the counter. A lady that had curly frizzy hair came up to her and smiled.
"What can I get for ya doll?" She said in a New York accent.
"I would like some milk, but I have nothing to give you in return," Luna said staring at her.
"Since you have good taste in baseball teams, you can have anything you want free, anytime you come here," The lady said as she gave Luna a smile and a wink.
"Thank you so very much!" Luna said as she smiled. Seconds later, the lady came out with a glass of milk.
"Drink up!" She said as she laid the milk in front of Luna. Luna drank slowly. The little voice in side of her told her to look to her left. A boy with blonde hair came over and sat in the seat next to Luna. Luna felt something in her stomach do a flip. She put the glass of milk and licked the milk mustache that formed on her op lip. She giggled a little bit, from the stupid ac of her messy ness.
"So what's your name, Chick?" The boy said as he stared into Luna's blue eyes.
"L-Luna." Luna stuttered. "Why did the boy call me chick? I am not a chicken." Luna thought as she stared into the boy's dark brown eyes.
"The name's Victor. Nice to meet you, Luna. Your name suits you. Your parents must be proud,"
"My parents. aren't alive at the moment," Luna said staring at her feet.
"I'm sorry," Victor said putting a hand on Luna's shoulder. She blushed and looked up at him.
"It's ok, I'll over come it someday,"
Robin looked out his bedroom window. He sighed as he watched the clouds roll by. He felt such an idiot accusing Luna like that; he didn't even know her. From Starfire's information, she seemed powerful. He got up and started working on his Slade work.
"ROBIN, COME QUICK!" Beast Boy yelled from the control room. Appearing on the screen was Slade, the man himself. Robin stared angrily at the screen.
"Heard about the break in of the princess. I'm guessing she defeated all of you. How pathetic," Slade said.
"You butt out! Where are you!" Robin yelled as if he was talking to Slade himself. The screen went blank and silence grew around the titans. Robin banged his fist on the computer's controls, breaking them. Starfire stared at him with worry ness.
Luna must have sat in that little coffeehouse for two hours, just talking to Victor. He was dreamy, but Luna knew things wouldn't work out. One was probably a lot younger than he was and two she was half-human. They talked about a lot of things like friends and family. But when things were getting good, then some breaking news came on the television.
"A mysterious girl broke into the Teen Titans base last night, stealing five crystals that Robin, the Titans leader found. The leader himself told us that the girl was half-human, half-cat, had blonde hair and blue eyes, she looked about thirteen and she had a crescent moon mark on her forehead. If you see this girl, please contact the police or the Teen Titans immediately," The newscaster said. Luna stared at the TV with worry all over her face. They were after her, like some kind of villain. Though the TV switched back to the baseball game, Luna still watched the screen. Victor looked at her with confused.
"Since your new to Jump City, you probably never heard about the Teen Titans," Victor said as Luna stared back at him. Her blaming herself for lying, she shook her head no. Victor continued, "They are made up of five super hero teenagers, Robin, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy. They are kind of like police, but super heroes,"
"Really, wouldn't their parents be upset of them getting hurt?" Luna said, trying to think of ways to extend the conversation.
"I don't think any of them have parents, with Robin's case I mean, but I don't really know about the rest of them," A tingle inside of Luna made her stomach hurt she got up and turned around to Victor.
"I got to go." She said as she ran out of the coffee house. Victor sat at the counter, alone and confused.
Luna ran in the ally and changed into her pink out fit. Knowing that everyone was watching her come out of the ally, her long tail shimmered in the golden sun. Luna jumped over a railing and faced toward a man with a steel plate over his face.
"Slade!" Luna yelled as her eyes turned purple and her glow circle balls glowed around her fists. Slade smiled.
"Hello Princess, what in the name of Serena are you doing on earth?" Slade said with a smile.
"To get ride of you and your evil ways of harm and destruction!" Luna yelled, as her eyes grew brighter.
"Temper, you have your highness? I think that isn't how a princess should act,"
"At this point, I'm breaking the rules of being a princess," Luna said as her fist of furry grew brighter.
"Bravery, I see in you, Luna. I like that in a person,"
"You know nothing of the meaning of like!"
"Tough are we know? I think not," Slade drew out a gun and shot Luna. She dodged it and threw a glow ball at him. It hit him, but it wasn't enough to hurt him. Luna closed her eyes, and she floated in the air. She opened them and targeted her target. She threw two glow balls, then two more. Slade fell back and splashed into the lake. He got up and pulled out some sort of weird gun.
"Do you want to end up like the rest of your family, or are you just going to surrender?"
"I will stop, but I will not surrender. We will meet again," Luna said as her feet touched the ground and she ran away. Slade smiled and mumbled, "We will, Luna, and this time I will achieve my goal that I have already started,"
"Hi-Yah!" Luna yelled as she bunched a jewel thief in the gut. This time, she decided not to use her powers and fight normally. The robber slammed against the brick wall and crashed to the floor. Luna looked at the other thieves and smiled. All of them stepped back a little, then moved one foot forward. With a punch and a kick, Luna took all them down, except one. This time, is got hard, because this villain had a gun. He fired three times. Luna dodged once. twice.
"AHH!" Luna screamed as she looked at her blood-coded arm. She was hit by a bullet, for the first time. She smiled and laughed. She slowly got up and walked toward the man. The man fired again. Without defense, the bullet hit Luna's leg. She fell to the ground. She looked at her bloody leg and laughed again. She had never felt so much pain in her life. Every hit, she would dodge, but not this time. She fell to her side, laying a puddle. Luna squinted, trying to focus, but all she could see was a shadowy figure. The shadow smiled and brought a gun up to Luna's head. Luna felt the cold metal of the gun touching her forehead. Suddenly, the shadowy figure was not there anymore. Luna managed to raise her head, seeing two figures fighting the shadowy figure. Luna could make out that one of the figures had a cape, but the other one was changing into things that Luna could make out. She was picked up by something. She looked up at, what ever it was, and moaned.
"It's alright, Luna, the titans are here to kick these guys butts," The guy said, which looked like his left eye was glowing. Luna smiled and saw two other faces stand next to the red glowing eyed man. Luna smiled, then she saw nothing. She had blacked out.
Luna squinted, trying to focus into wherever she was. A light was brightly placed above her head. She shot up, feeling quite dizzy from the light as little black dots danced around. She looked down at her hands. They were covered with bloodstains, her arm wrapped in a cast. She tried to move her leg, but it started to burn. She flipped back the covers of the bed she was sitting in finding that her leg was wrapped in yellow/black material. It seemed to come off of a cape. Luna held her head, cause for some odd reason it started to hurt. The door slide open to the bedroom and Robin walked in. Luna was shocked. She jumped up, yelling from the pain of her leg, and shot a glow pistol from her fist. It broke the bottle that Robin was holding. He looked strangely at Luna.
"You know what, some people can't appreciate cows. They give off such good milk," Robin said as he wiped the milk running down his hand with his cape. Luna noticed that the corner of it was ripped off. Luna looked at her leg.
"Y-you mended my leg from the material from your cape?" Luna said as her glow pistol went away. Robin nodded, "Thank you, so very much,"
"So, Starfire told me you come from the moon. How's it up there?" Robin said as he threw the ilk bottle in the trash can and pulled up a chair next to the door. Luna blinked.
"Very beautiful. Waterfalls everywhere, flowers blooming everyday, and the Earth looks so much smaller than now. It was wonderful," Luna said as she closed her eyes picturing her home.
"Was, what happened?"
"A dark force took over. Drained the moon's powers. No one could survive. I was the only one who did." Luna trembled choking back her tears.
"What happened to the others?"
"They kind of. froze. Couldn't move even if you tried your hardest. I could do nothing. Now I am wanted as some kind of criminal,"
"By who?"
"You for one, and a evil man who has a mask over his face. He took over my planet. He gives him the name-"
"Slade," Robin said disgusted.
"Yes, Slade. Hey how did you know?"
"Let's just say we're after him. For now, I keep a full watch on you,"
"Great, another set of eyes. Just because I stole something from your tower, doesn't mean that it is yours," Luna said as she slumped down on the bed.
"Wait, what are you talking about? Those crystals you stole were-"
"Moon crystals," Luna interrupted. Robin was dumb struck.
"Great! They're hers! I feel I've accomplished something!" Robin thought as looked at Luna. Luna smiled as she wagged her tail.
"Not so tough now are you?" Luna smuged as her cat ears moved up and down. There was a knock on the door and it opened.
"Welcome to earth Luna!" Starfire said as she walked into the room with a vase of flowers.
"Thank you, Starfire, but I have nothing to give you in return,"
"Here on earth, you do not have to give gifts for honor. They are supposed to make you feel good inside," Starfire said as she pointed to the flowers. Luna got up and sniffed the flowers.
"They smell heavenly! What shall I call them?" Luna said as she looked over at Starfire.
"They are called, "The rose" Many earth people give these flowers as their symbol of love,"
"How sweet! I shall bring these "the rose" to the moon some day," Luna said as she took the red flowers from Starfire and placed them on the bed table.
"I don't trust her," Raven said at the Teen Titans meeting held in the family room.
"Don't let first impressions, Raven," Starfire said as she placed pizza in front of the titans.
"No matter what you say, Starfire, I still don't trust her and I never will," Raven said folding her arms.
"I'm not to hip about her either," Cyborg said as he grabbed his pizza and shoved it in his mouth. Starfire sighed, thinking she would never clear Luna's case. She slowly flew into the kitchen.
"What do you think BB? What do you think about the moon chick?" Cyborg said.
"I think she's alright. I mean, what was those crystals for anyway?" Beast boy said as he took a bite of his pizza.
"Slade wanted them, so for some reason, she wants them two," Raven said. Robin wasn't even paying attention to what they were saying. He was having a war in his head deciding wither he trusted Luna or not. He got up, took a slice of pizza from the pizza box, and carried it out of the family room. He traveled down the hallway, trying to think of something to say to the cat like girl. He knocked on Luna's bedroom door. He slid it opened.
"Um, I was wondering if you wanted some pi-" Robin stood in the doorway looking over in the bed. There, Luna laid peacefully in the sheets. She wiggled around, looking like she was comfortable. Robin smiled and placed the pizza on the top of the empty dresser. Robin returned to the family room. He sat down with the rest of his friends and leaned back on the couch.
"So what about you, Robbie?" Beast boy said as he didn't even realize that Robin got up.
"I'm sorry to say this guys but. I trust her,"
"I can't believe she has made it this far," Slade said pounding down his fist. A girl stood next to him looking at him in a concern way.
"I thought you said she was dead!" Slade said as he hit the girl across the face. She fell to the ground and whimpered. She slowly got up.
"I thought she was," The girl said putting her hand on the red handprint.
"That's not good enough. You are useless,"
"At least I could have beaten her!"
"No you couldn't, you wouldn't have the heart to given give her a scratch. Since she is your sister, you wouldn't even be able to kill her,"
"Don't let relation get in the way of this Slade!" The girl said as she glared at her boss.
"I won't, Muna, I won't," Slade said patting Muna on her head, her tail straight and her ears down.

"Hello Princess, what in the name of Serena are you doing on earth?" Slade said with a smile.
"To get ride of you and your evil ways of harm and destruction!" Luna yelled, as her eyes grew brighter.
"Temper, you have your highness? I think that isn't how a princess should act,"
"At this point, I'm breaking the rules of being a princess," Luna said as her fist of furry grew brighter.
"Bravery, I see in you, Luna. I like that in a person,"
"You know nothing of the meaning of like!"
"Tough are we know? I think not," Slade drew out a gun and shot Luna. She dodged it and threw a glow ball at him. It hit him, but it wasn't enough to hurt him. Luna closed her eyes, and she floated in the air. She opened them and targeted her target. She threw two glow balls, then two more. Slade fell back and splashed into the lake. He got up and pulled out some sort of weird gun.
"Do you want to end up like the rest of your family, or are you just going to surrender?"
"I will stop, but I will not surrender. We will meet again," Luna said as her feet touched the ground and she ran away. Slade smiled and mumbled, "We will, Luna, and this time I will achieve my goal that I have already started,"
"Hi-Yah!" Luna yelled as she bunched a jewel thief in the gut. This time, she decided not to use her powers and fight normally. The robber slammed against the brick wall and crashed to the floor. Luna looked at the other thieves and smiled. All of them stepped back a little, then moved one foot forward. With a punch and a kick, Luna took all them down, except one. This time, is got hard, because this villain had a gun. He fired three times. Luna dodged once. twice.
"AHH!" Luna screamed as she looked at her blood-coded arm. She was hit by a bullet, for the first time. She smiled and laughed. She slowly got up and walked toward the man. The man fired again. Without defense, the bullet hit Luna's leg. She fell to the ground. She looked at her bloody leg and laughed again. She had never felt so much pain in her life. Every hit, she would dodge, but not this time. She fell to her side, laying a puddle. Luna squinted, trying to focus, but all she could see was a shadowy figure. The shadow smiled and brought a gun up to Luna's head. Luna felt the cold metal of the gun touching her forehead. Suddenly, the shadowy figure was not there anymore. Luna managed to raise her head, seeing two figures fighting the shadowy figure. Luna could make out that one of the figures had a cape, but the other one was changing into things that Luna could make out. She was picked up by something. She looked up at, what ever it was, and moaned.
"It's alright, Luna, the titans are here to kick these guys butts," The guy said, which looked like his left eye was glowing. Luna smiled and saw two other faces stand next to the red glowing eyed man. Luna smiled, then she saw nothing. She had blacked out.
Luna squinted, trying to focus into wherever she was. A light was brightly placed above her head. She shot up, feeling quite dizzy from the light as little black dots danced around. She looked down at her hands. They were covered with bloodstains, her arm wrapped in a cast. She tried to move her leg, but it started to burn. She flipped back the covers of the bed she was sitting in finding that her leg was wrapped in yellow/black material. It seemed to come off of a cape. Luna held her head, cause for some odd reason it started to hurt. The door slide open to the bedroom and Robin walked in. Luna was shocked. She jumped up, yelling from the pain of her leg, and shot a glow pistol from her fist. It broke the bottle that Robin was holding. He looked strangely at Luna.
"You know what, some people can't appreciate cows. They give off such good milk," Robin said as he wiped the milk running down his hand with his cape. Luna noticed that the corner of it was ripped off. Luna looked at her leg.
"Y-you mended my leg from the material from your cape?" Luna said as her glow pistol went away. Robin nodded, "Thank you, so very much,"
"So, Starfire told me you come from the moon. How's it up there?" Robin said as he threw the ilk bottle in the trash can and pulled up a chair next to the door. Luna blinked.
"Very beautiful. Waterfalls everywhere, flowers blooming everyday, and the Earth looks so much smaller than now. It was wonderful," Luna said as she closed her eyes picturing her home.
"Was, what happened?"
"A dark force took over. Drained the moon's powers. No one could survive. I was the only one who did." Luna trembled choking back her tears.
"What happened to the others?"
"They kind of. froze. Couldn't move even if you tried your hardest. I could do nothing. Now I am wanted as some kind of criminal,"
"By who?"
"You for one, and a evil man who has a mask over his face. He took over my planet. He gives him the name-"
"Slade," Robin said disgusted.
"Yes, Slade. Hey how did you know?"
"Let's just say we're after him. For now, I keep a full watch on you,"
"Great, another set of eyes. Just because I stole something from your tower, doesn't mean that it is yours," Luna said as she slumped down on the bed.
"Wait, what are you talking about? Those crystals you stole were-"
"Moon crystals," Luna interrupted. Robin was dumb struck.
"Great! They're hers! I feel I've accomplished something!" Robin thought as looked at Luna. Luna smiled as she wagged her tail.
"Not so tough now are you?" Luna smuged as her cat ears moved up and down. There was a knock on the door and it opened.
"Welcome to earth Luna!" Starfire said as she walked into the room with a vase of flowers.
"Thank you, Starfire, but I have nothing to give you in return,"
"Here on earth, you do not have to give gifts for honor. They are supposed to make you feel good inside," Starfire said as she pointed to the flowers. Luna got up and sniffed the flowers.
"They smell heavenly! What shall I call them?" Luna said as she looked over at Starfire.
"They are called, "The rose" Many earth people give these flowers as their symbol of love,"
"How sweet! I shall bring these "the rose" to the moon some day," Luna said as she took the red flowers from Starfire and placed them on the bed table.
"I don't trust her," Raven said at the Teen Titans meeting held in the family room.
"Don't let first impressions, Raven," Starfire said as she placed pizza in front of the titans.
"No matter what you say, Starfire, I still don't trust her and I never will," Raven said folding her arms.
"I'm not to hip about her either," Cyborg said as he grabbed his pizza and shoved it in his mouth. Starfire sighed, thinking she would never clear Luna's case. She slowly flew into the kitchen.
"What do you think BB? What do you think about the moon chick?" Cyborg said.
"I think she's alright. I mean, what was those crystals for anyway?" Beast boy said as he took a bite of his pizza.
"Slade wanted them, so for some reason, she wants them two," Raven said. Robin wasn't even paying attention to what they were saying. He was having a war in his head deciding wither he trusted Luna or not. He got up, took a slice of pizza from the pizza box, and carried it out of the family room. He traveled down the hallway, trying to think of something to say to the cat like girl. He knocked on Luna's bedroom door. He slid it opened.
"Um, I was wondering if you wanted some pi-" Robin stood in the doorway looking over in the bed. There, Luna laid peacefully in the sheets. She wiggled around, looking like she was comfortable. Robin smiled and placed the pizza on the top of the empty dresser. Robin returned to the family room. He sat down with the rest of his friends and leaned back on the couch.
"So what about you, Robbie?" Beast boy said as he didn't even realize that Robin got up.
"I'm sorry to say this guys but. I trust her,"
"I can't believe she has made it this far," Slade said pounding down his fist. A girl stood next to him looking at him in a concern way.
"I thought you said she was dead!" Slade said as he hit the girl across the face. She fell to the ground and whimpered. She slowly got up.
"I thought she was," The girl said putting her hand on the red handprint.
"That's not good enough. You are useless,"
"At least I could have beaten her!"
"No you couldn't, you wouldn't have the heart to given give her a scratch. Since she is your sister, you wouldn't even be able to kill her,"
"Don't let relation get in the way of this Slade!" The girl said as she glared at her boss.
"I won't, Muna, I won't," Slade said patting Muna on her head, her tail straight and her ears down.
