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, who's 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 8
"For...forever?" Amy asked, her voice shaking a bit as she did so.
Tsubasa nodded. "You are first in line for the thrown, it is you're royal duty."
"But..." She glanced at Sakura, "Sakura's been training so hard and for so long...I couldn't possibly be a good leader."
Sakura giggled. "That's okay! We can teach you. Tsubasa may be old but the man as a lot of fight still in him. He'll be around for a long time I'm afraid."
Tsubasa shot Sakura a glare but said nothing about it. "She's correct. I would be more then happy to teach you both. I'm certain that with a little work you could be caught up to Sakura in a short period of time."
Amy shook her head, "But..."
The doors burst open and Aiden, Beast Boy, and Raven walked in, looking cleaner and more refreshed. They walked up to where Amy and Sakura were standing.
"Now what's this about Amy staying here?" Raven asked.
Tsubasa sighed. "It's her royal duty. As first in line for the throne she must take over once I die."
"But I thought that's what you were training Sakura for." Beast Boy said.
"That was only if Amythest never returned home, but she has."
"Why would her parents take her away if she just had to go back?" Aiden asked wrapping and arm around Raven's waist.
Tsubasa sighed and stroked his beard. "Years ago we lived out in the place where the ruins now stand. We were a secretive race that had very little connection with the outside world. One day, about 15 years ago, shortly before the birth of Sakura, a man stumbled into our village. He was good as dead so we took him in and healed him. He left shortly after with the knowledge that we worked with dragons and had the power to tame them. Months later, a few months after Sakura's birth, we were attacked by people who wanted our knowledge."
He took a breath. "Amythest and Sakura's parents wanted to flee to save their children's life. They realized however that Sakura was much to young to travel that far away from home and do so quickly so they entrusted her to me, I was going to hide away so that I could rule Tir na nOg until they could return. So taking Amythest they fled Tir na nOg. It's anyone's guess as to what happened to them after that. My guess is that one of our enemies spotted them and followed, waiting for the ample time to strike. Even if that was a few years later."
The four titans stared at the old man in shock, their mouths hanging open.
"Wow..." Beast Boy shook his head in disbelief.
Aiden spoke next. "But does Amy really have to stay?"
Tsubasa nodded but Sakura remained silent. She turned to Silverflare, who had sat in complete silence throughout this explanation and a silent conversation passes between them. Amy wondered if maybe they were actually having a conversation in their minds but decided against asking incase whatever they were doing required concentration.
Finally Sakura turned to Tsubasa. "Tsubasa let her go."
"What? But Sakura you know as well as I do that-"
"Our parents may have wanted Amy to take the throne but they never counted on her having a life and friends elsewhere."
"But then who will take the throne?"
"I am only one year younger then her. I'm perfectly capable of taking the throne. And we both know you're not going anywhere for a long while so everything will be fine." She turned to Amy; "Our parents would have wanted our happiness over everything else. You're friends make you happy and I have known nothing else but this place and these people. I will be content to stay here and rule for the rest of my life."
Amy's eyes watered up and threw her arms around her sister in a hug. "Thank you so much Sakura."
Sakura giggled and winked. "What are sisters for?"
Amy smiled. "Oh yeah! She grabbed her bag, "You should have these. You know so you don't get to bored." She pulled out a few books.
Sakura took them and looked puzzled. "What kind of books are these they have pictures..."
"They're called manga. It's kinda like a comic. That one's called Inu-yasha. I think you'll like it."
"I think I like him." Sakura said pointing at the monk on the front cover.
Amy laughed. "You go after the perverts eh sis?"
Sakura looked confused. "He's a pervert?"
"You'll see."
The titans said good bye, Amy hugged Sakura again and glomped Silverflare (who blinked in surprise but said nothing of it) and she stood beside Beast Boy and let Aiden and Raven bring them back to the Titans Tower.
Back to their home.

The reappeared in the titans' living room to find Robin teaching Starfire how to play a video game and Cyborg reading a mechanic book, looking up and smirking at the other two titans every few minutes.
Amy immediately made herself known by plopping down onto the couch and asking Robin for another pair of boxers.
This time however he was ready for her. He whipped out a pair of blue boxers and handed them to her.
Amy blinked in surprise. "Eh...thanks..." She hadn't been expecting him to actually give her a pair.
"Oh don't thank me." He smirked. "They're Beast Boy's."
The changeling turned bright red (quite a feat considering he was a lush shade of green normally) and snatched the boxers out of Amy's hands as she and other titans laughed.
It was definitely nice to be back home.
The peace was soon shattered by an explosion that left smoke unfurling in the air and a whole in the wall. The titans were up and in fighting stances as a shadow figure walked towards them. A grating voice, one that they all knew too well (especially Robin) floated around them.
"It's been a while hasn't it Titans..."
