Title: City of Dragons
Summary: Sequel to Some lost more gained. Amy and the titans are trying to solve Amy's mysterious past…and what's up with Aiden's hair?
Author: Silverflare07
Dedication: To Aiden since we're writing this story together.
Author's notes: Ok this isn't a Mary Sue fic. I personally don't believe in placing any real person from a show with an OC (unless they don't have anybody in the show like Cy) but I'll continue the Raven/OC thing because that was started before. By the way Aiden belongs to Titan6. Amy belongs to both of us.
Extra Info: You really should read Some Lost More Gained before you read this. Check out Titan6's profile for it. But incase you decide to be lazy (no shame there!) Here's a brief: The Titan's get a new member, Aiden, whose powers are sort of like Ravens. He and Raven fall in love and the first story ends happily ever after. The second starts after Terra's betrayal. Aiden's powers are going haywire and he's invited his new friend Amy Jade to take Terra's place on the team. The titans, minus Beast Boy, think she's a great teammate. Her powers are to borrow other's powers (it's hard to explain) but in the end Aiden's powers are back under control and he can make a spirit dragon who announces Amy's real name, Amythest Jade. Amy has an unusual connection with the dragon.

Chapter 2
Amy gave the dragon an annoyed glance.
"I told you its Amy!"
The dragon chuckled. "But Amythest is such a lovely name."
Amy made a face. "Yeah it's great."
The dragon became serious. "Amythest if you cannot even accept your name how will you ever accept your destiny?"
Beast Boy looked confused. "Huh?"
"I'm not allowed to tell you everything. I suggest you ask your parents."
Amy looked surprised. "Mom and Dad wouldn't know anything…would they...?"
"The parents you're thinking of wouldn't but your real parents would."
Amy, Aiden, and Beast Boy gave him confused looks. "That's a great idea," Amy said sarcastically. "Only one small problem."
The dragon looked surprised. "Oh...what's that?"
"They're sorta...dead."
"Amythest my dear, no grave is deep enough to bury the truth."
And with a whoosh the dragon was gone.
Amy blinked. "I am NOT going grave digging. Especially not my own parents' grave."
"I've never seen your parents' grave come to think of it." Aiden said.
"Neither have I." Amy shook her head.
"Well you won't have to." Raven said.
"How come?"
"I can contact the dead."
"No zombies please." Cyborg said as he and Beast Boy backed away nervously.
"Don't be stupid." Raven snapped. "I contact spirits."
"You mean like channeling them?" Robin asked.
"Basically, only they don't posse me or anything like that. I just bring them for their realm to ours. It takes a lot of energy so I've only done it once, to contact my mother. That was years ago though."
Aiden was the first one to speak. "Well how bout it Rae. You up to it?"
She nodded and pulled on her hood. "Let's go to my room."
((((()))))
The titans all assembled in Raven's bed room.
"This place gives me the creeps." Beast Boy said.
"I like it." Amy said.
Raven sat Indian style on the floor and mentioned for Amy to sit across from her. The other titans formed a circle around the two girls.
"What are your parents' names?" Raven asked.
"Tom and Laurie Jade."
"Tom?" Beast Boy spoke from behind her.
She grinned. "Both my dad's are named Tom."
Raven nodded. "Ok. It may take me a few minutes to reach out and pull them over here. Are you ready?"
Amy looked to the other titans who were all giving reassuring smiles, except Beast Boy who still didn't seem to like her very much. "I'm ready."
Raven closed her eyes and placed her hands together almost as if she was praying. Words tumbled out of her mouth so quietly that no one could make them out. Then slowly her hands began to spread apart and between them a black whole was growing bigger by the moment. Soon it reached to the floor and two balls of light floated uncertainly out of it and into the room. A voice spoke.
"Where are we Tom?" One spirit floated closer to the other.
A masculine voice replied. "I don't know."
All the titans minus Raven stared in awe.
"Mom? Dad?" Amy whispered stretching her hand towards the spirits.
Both turned to look at her and the one that had spoken first slowly made its way over to the girl.
"Amethyst?"
"Mom." Tears welled up in Amy's eyes.
"Tom it's our little Amythest!"
The other spirit floated over to her. "Hi pumpkin." It nudged her hand. "Hold on a minute."
There was a flash of light and instead of two floating balls two transparent and ghostly white figures stood among the titans.
They were miniature versions of what they had once been; only standing 2 feet tall at the highest. But they were, without a doubt, the spirits of the late Tom and Laurie Jade.
