Teen Titans

You think I own the Teen Titans? You're crazy! I wouldn't have to put it on if I was the owner of something so cool!

In other words, please don't sue me, I own nothing.

Chapter 2:

Is it MY fault?

"I didn't do my homework!" I jolted awake in a humongous room. I was sitting on a medical bed with things attached to me.

"She's awake." I heard Raven's obvious comment to Robin, who was also in the room.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"How would you feel if you were kidnapped by the nation's most famous kid superheroes?" I said in typical sarcasm, "Oh wait, you started them."

"Considering, I'd say she's fine." Raven said, gliding over to me and detaching several of the monitors.

"Considering what?" I had to ask. I thought I was just being rude, but Robin decided to give me a mirror.

"I have roses growing from my head." I commented tonelessly on my hair that was usually a bland color of brown that had become thick green stems with little pink roses sprouting from the ends, also noticing a green tattoo of a rose vine running down the side of my face and wrapping around my arms. I turned to Robin, "Wake me up when we get back to reality."

"So, how is she?" Cybrog asked as he and the other Titans entered the room loudly. Starfire gasped, then rushed over and started playing with my hair that seemed to have turned into my own miniature flower garden.

"What did that thing do to her?" Beast Boy asked, staring at me in awe. Maybe not awe, but he was looking at me like I was a freak. I promptly reminded him who the freak was here.

"At least I'm not totally green. Would you back off, lady? I don't want them to wilt." I mocked them and turned to Robin, "Yeah, what did they do to me?" He had a look on his face that startled his friends.

"I don't know." He said through clenched teeth, "But if you don't change your attitude, we're not going to help you."

"Okay." I said not waiting a second to hop off the bed, "Freak though I may be, I don't need you. See you in the next life."

I walked over to the window before anyone had a chance to move, opened it and jumped out. Starfire shrieked in horror as the other Titans stood paralyzed. Robin had to quickly follow me, catch me, use his batarang, and swing us back up through the window.

"You were saying?" I mocked as my heart pounded in my chest. I coughed as I turned to Beast Boy, "That'll get your circulation going. You should try it sometime."

"No thanks." He said, looking at me as though I was insane. I was sure that I appeared that way to all of them. Too bad.

"Can't you fly?" I asked Starfire, again turning to Robin, "See? I told you they wanted to kill me."

Rather than start yelling again, this time, Robin stalked off, leaving instructions with Raven to deal with me. Everyone else left the room, looking at me warily. I sat down on the bed, silent for a moment. Then I smiled and turned to Raven.

"So, what's new?"

She did not appear amused, nor did I expect her to be so. She looked at me seriously. "You were infused with a shadow spirit. It comes from being in contact with one for a certain period of time, which you were when he was trying to kill you. Your shadow spirit appeared in the form of roses."

"I could have guessed." I said bitterly, "No way to cure it?"

"None."

"I thought as much. Now what?"

"Robin had intended to offer for you to train with the Titans until you were proficient enough in the use of your powers to offer you a membership." Raven said in her usual flat tone.

"And now?" I asked, looking past her out the window at the ocean. She was silent. I guessed as much. He wasn't planning for me to be here any more than I was wanting to stay here, but if this was the only option, it was best to get over it. I had to…Apologize.
