Author's Note: Just to let you know, this prologue is a bit dark and might
be rated more of a PG-13ish so don't read the prologue it you don't want to
read something PG-13ish. I don't own Teen Titans but I do own Firebird and,
later in the story, her evil twin sister Flamestreak. The other villains I
don't own either. A heads up: Kitten will be in the story but it won't be
the Kitten you know from the Episode 'A Date With Destiny'. She'll be
almost like a female version of Robin in the martial arts and gadget way.
Oh, and please review it when you are done. The more reviews I get the more
chapters I put out and the more I can improve my writing. So I can improve
my writing, constructive criticism is always welcome. Ok, here's the story!
Enjoy!
P.S. – This is an updated version since I became really infatuated with Terra and made a new villain. So, I added Terra in the team, which makes it ... seven members if my math is correct. The new villain I made up is Sable. She has a power similar to Starfire only her energy blasts are black and she also has the power disintegrate things. She's truly my Teen Titans role playing character and not supposed to be evil but I changed her to suit the story since I was adding Terra.

Prologue – Into the Fire
It was another sunny day in the main park in Jump City. Children ran around playing, couples romanced with kisses, and families having picnics when everyone is finally together to have a little fun. Though they fight crime nearly 24-7, even the Teen Titans have come to the park for a nice picnic and a brake from the hectic crime fighting and the like.
Today, a new girl sat with the six teens. She had long blond hair with crayon red tips. Her outfit consisted of a black cat suit with a flame pattern on the top, a flame patterned skirt, red high-heeled boots, flame patterned fingerless gloves, a moonstone necklace in the shape of a flame, and a pair of red shades sat atop of her head, holding back some of her longer bangs. Among all of the blacks, reds, yellows, oranges, and white, her ice blue eyes looked out of place. Her name is Firebird, the newest fire wielding Titan.
Her smile was soft, maybe even a little cheerless, and a tofu dog lay untouched in front of her. She wasn't a vegetarian but she found she did like Beast Boy's food. Cyborg was chowing down on a rack of ribs while Robin ate a hot dog loaded with ketchup and mustard. Raven sat in the shade of a tree not too far from the group while Beast Boy cooked up more of his tofu dogs. Terra wasn't really eating but rather watching Beast Boy with starry eyes and giggles. Firebird began to giggle at Starfire who was once again drinking mustard straight from the bottle. Her laugh was a little mirthless because something nagged on her mind.
The Teen Titans had first met her after the little fiasco in a neighborhood around the far end of Jump City away from Titans Tower. She helped them out and they had accepted her, for the most part. Raven still gave her a bit of a cold shoulder and Cyborg still held a grudge against her for accidentally trying to fry him. She had never stayed in one place for long but it seemed as if she might actually have a home in Titans Tower. Everything seemed to be going perfectly... Almost too perfectly...
Beast Boy sauntered over to the group, a roguish smile on his face as he walked towards Firebird. She sighed with a small giggle; he was probably going to try another joke on her. She turned her face towards him to take the joke head on and maybe really laugh at it this time, if she felt like it.
Beast Boy's smile began to fade quickly and turned into a look of horror. He pointed at Firebird's hand and yelled something she didn't quite understand. She looked at him in confusion for a few seconds before sighing. With the sigh came a mixed smell to her nose. It was a sickly sweet smell that made her try hard not to gag on it. It smelled like a strong flower perfume, her favorite kind to be exact, and the smell of roasting meat. A smell of fire topped it all off, almost too much for her to handle.
Beast Boy was still yelling at her and pointing to her hand, the other Titans had taken up the yell except for Raven who only talked sternly. Firebird gave in and looked at her hand to see what all of the fuss was for. She scream aloud when she finally looked on her hand; it was covered in fire... and burning! Since she had control over fire she also had an immunity to it. Some spiteful force had stripped her of her immunity and her hand was burning. It was strange, it didn't hurt like she though it would to be burnt.
With another scream, Firebird flung her hand away from her, sending flames into trees. People in the park began to scream and run away from the fire as it quickly spread. Raven didn't have time to get away from the tree quick enough and her cape caught fire. The fire spread to the picnic cloth and the other Titans caught fire. Their screams of pain and agony chilled Firebird to the core as she sent up her own dissonant cries.
Fire spread quicker and surrounded the burning teens. Starfire struggled her way over to Firebird, tears streaming down her face but quickly evaporating. Her face was wreathed in flames and she spoke to Firebird in an eerily calm voice. What she said couldn't be heard but Firebird could read her lips. 'Why have you done this to us?' Firebird deciphered from her moving lips before she was completely engulfed in the flames.
Firebird shot up in bed, a cold sweat drenching her face and her fingers dug into her flame patterned top sheet on her bed. Her breaths came in short rugged gasps but she soon got them down to semi-normal breathing. She looked around her room, decorated with things related to flames and stars, and at her own trembling hands. She was ok but seriously rattled. It took a few seconds for her to convince herself that what she had experienced was just a dream.
She got up from bed, her fluffy red nightgown stuck to her moist skin, and walked to the closest bathroom. She splashed cold water onto her face and watched her reflection in the mirror for the longest of times. When she was sure she wouldn't break down crying, she looked at a clock in the bathroom to see what time it was. It had to be late, or super early because the rest of the Titans were still fast asleep. Firebird groaned; it was only 3:00am.
With the fright she had she knew she could never get back to sleep. Firebird trekked her way back to her room, changed into her costume, and grabbed the book she had been reading and her portable radio, holding the headphones with her teeth. She'd read and listen to her music to pass the time until the rest of the teens were up and hopefully take her mind off of the nightmare.
Halfway to the living room, Firebird's mind got back to thinking on the dream. She'd had similar dreams like this right before she ended up moving due to certain circumstances. She had this same dream, with a few differences, right before... she showed up. She bit her lip hoping she had interpreted it all wrong. If not, she'd better start making plans to leave soon and find a new place to stay. She didn't want to leave; she had a nice place to stay and friends who accepted her for the most part.
Firebird sighed heavily and sat down on the couch, flipping on her book light so she wouldn't have to turn on other lights that might wake the others up. Right before she really got into her book, she decided she would make breakfast even though it was Starfire's turn. No offence to Starfire's cooking, but it left a little bit to be desired and she wanted to pull her weight around here. 'Who knows, cooking may even be fun.' Firebird thought as she flipped the page. She sat in relative darkness, reading and listening to her music in the wee hours of the morning, the horrible nagging feeling and the dream never leaving her.
Author's Note: That was just the prologue so don't worry, there's more to come. So what did you think? Sorry if it was a bit dark but it was just to set the background for the story. Thanks for taking the time to read so please review! Constructive criticism is always welcome!
