Chapter 2:
"Ugh," The brown haired girl stirred, and opened her eyes slowly.
Her vision was slightly blurred, and as it came into focus, she sat up and looked at her surroundings.
The room was dimly lit, and the walls were metal. There was a shelf that apparently held medical supplies. The girl looked down; she had been sleeping on a single bed with white sheets.
"Where am I?" Her mind pondered.
She lifted the sheets off her body. She let her feet touch the bare floor as she dangled her legs on the side of the bed. The girl stood up and winced as a sharp pain shot up her left calve. This caused her to look down. Her left leg had been bandaged.
"I wonder how bad I am."
The girl limped over to the mirror, and looked at the figure in it. She had dried blood caked on the side of her head and a bandage on her cheek. Other than a few bruises, she looked fine.
"That's the price you pay when you mess with an army of robots." Her mind mused.
A hiss distracted her from the mirror and she whirled around. The door opened and a red headed girl stepped in with a breakfast tray. She didn't look human.
"Oh, you are awake!" the girl exclaimed, "We were most worried about you. Friend Cyborg found you unconcious, I shall inform the others! Before that, may I inquire your name?"
"Kage," She stated bluntly, "and yours?"
(A/N: Kage is the Japanese word for shadow)
"I am Starfire of Tamaran!" Star said with a large smile plastered on her face.
Kage shifted her feet, "Okay then, Starfire, can you tell me where I am?"
"It would be my pleasure! You are currently located at Teen Titan Tower," she chirped, and exited through the door.
Kage sat down. Titan tower sounded familiar to her, but she could not exactly remember what. Moments later, the girl Starfire, and four other people ran into the room.
"Well, not exactly people," She thought, "One's green, one has gray skin, one, well the black haired one is human, and the last one's half robot. Cute too."
The boy with black hair walked up to her, "I'm Robin, the leader," he shook her hand, "Welcome to titan tower."
"Dude, you're finally awake! Was up? I'm Beast Boy," the green one said. She was shocked as she saw Beast boy morph from a mongoose, to an eagle, then to a turtle, and back again.
"Raven," The girl with the purple cloak muttered.
Finally, the half robot walked up to Kage, and smiled, "I'm Borgcy, er I mean Cyborg" (a sweatdrop appeared on his head)
Kage stared for a moment, then bowed her head, "Hajimemashite, watashi wa Kage desu."
(Pleased to meat you, I am Kage.)
"Wha?" said Beastboy and stared at her with a confused expresion. "Can you please repeat that?"
"She said she's pleased to meat us, and her name is Kage." Cyborg retorted.
BB looked at Cy, "Dude! I didn't know you knew Polish!"
Raven gave a feeble snort, while every one else was in stiches.
"Beast boy can sound so stupid at times." Raven thought.
After their introductions, Kage and the team piled out into the living room to relax and converse.
"Where are you from, new friend Kage?" Starfire asked her.
Kage frowned at her question, but spoke anyways, "I'm not sure where I was born, but I grew up in an orphanage in a small town in Illinois. When I got older, I started to travel a lot. Making enemies and allies along the way. I don't even know who my parents are, or why they got rid of me."
There was an awkward silence as the brown haired teen finished her story.
"I'm sorry to hear that," Cyborg said.
"Eh? No, it's alright, I'm fine," she said cracking a smile.
"No, sorry that you don't have any home. Infact, why not stay with us?"
'Why not stay with us' Kage thought on this one. It had been a while since she had a decent home. However, she didn't want to impose on complete strangers.
"I don't want to be a burden." She answered quietly.
This time, it was Raven to speak, "You're no burden at all. I think it might be wise for you to stay here."
"Well..."
"Dude, Raven just gave you the okay, she never usually does to complete strangers. It took her 2 months to ajust to Terra. But then-" Beast Boy's smile drooped, and he sulked.
"What he's trying to say, is, I usually don't trust people. But I can sense that you're the type to be loyal, and trustworthy." Raven retorted in a monotone voice.
Kage's eyes began to shine, "I am honored that you put so much trust in me, but I still can't just stay here with out doing something. I can cook and clean!"
"Sounds like a plan," said Robin, nodding in agreement.
Kage smiled, then something hit her.
"Wait, did you say 'Terra'?"
"Yeah," Beast Boy glumly said.
"I, remember now," she said and every one looked at her, "You see, I had an encounter with a blond girl named Terra a few weeks ago. I engaged in fight with her, several miles away from Jump City and as I moved away, she gave me an odd smile. She told me, 'You're just like them, the teen titans. Always running away, like a coward. They were so fun to toy with, especially the one called Beast Boy. He's so stupid to think I loved him. It was fun using him. I'll kill them all.'
She didn't come for me after that encounter. I'm glad for that, but I'm deeply sorry that she betrayed you like that."
What Terra said made Raven's blood boil.
"How dare she play with Beast Boy's heart? Even if he is a bit of a moron, no one deserves that."Her mind snaped.
Suddenly, a lamp was surounded by dark energy, lifted into the air, and immeaditly shattered.
"Who?"
"Sorry." Raven muttered, pulling her hood on to cover her blushing face.
Robin looked at his watch, "12:30, guys, time for practice."
Kage's face lit up at his words, "Can I try?"
"Well, I don't know," Robin said.
Kage gave Robin a murderous glare, "Do you underestimate my ablitiy?"
"Well..."
"Attack me," She snapped, and stood up in a defensive position.
"Bu-"
"ATTACK ME!"
Robin nodded and went for a flying kick at her head. She grabed his foot and as he tried to twist away. She held him down.
"Bad move."
Kage gathered her strength and with one swift move, she through Robin over her sholder and he crashed into the wall.
"Woah, how did you do that!?!" Cyborg yelled, jaws dropping.
"Ow," Robin said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Robin are you injured?" Starfire asked, voice driping with concern. She flew over and knelt beside him.
"Sorry about that robin!"
"I'm fine," said Robin, but as he tried to get up, Star shoved him back down.
"No you are not, now let me see you neck." She said and caresed his head while she looked.
"Gawd she loves him." Kage thought.
Robin blushed as star did this. Meanwhile Raven cracked a small smile, and BB and Cy sniggered.
"Star, I'm Okay," Robin said, "I'm sorry I underestmated you, Kage. It's just that Cy found you on the side of the road on the brink of death."
Kage looked at Cyborg, who looked back at her.
"Thank you."
Cyborg walked up to her, looking down, "My pleasure."
"Okay, Okay, ENOUGH!" Robin bushed of Starfire, who was playing with his hair, and checking for injurys at the same time. "Train, now!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, and Kage stood on the field while Starfire and Robin monitered the controls.
"Okay, Kage, get ready," Robin said and he initiated the count down.
"I wish you the best of luck," chirped Starfire happily.
Kage cracked her knuckles, then her neck.
3...
2...
"This is it!"
1...
Kage held her hands infront of her and and red fire glowed from them. She shot the fire and a ring of it formed on the ground. She jumped in the ring and she rose in the air, speeding forward.
With in a few seconds, laser shooters rose from the ground, and shot at her.
"Crap!" She shouted as she dodged them, and shot long flame at one of them. Then fireing two flames at the others. They exploded into a mass of sparks and metal.
Flying ahead, she easily dodged the masive rocks blocking her path. Then, she came apon a series of shutting large metal doors.
"Giant metal doors, lovely." Her mind said sarcasticly.
Two flames emited from her palms as she melded the shuters to the frames. She then speed through them, racing at her top speed.
She was almost at then end when out of nowhere, several androids that looked like raptors.
"Easy."
She let her fire loose, but the raptor just jumped at her, untouched.
She dodged it. "Too easy."
Meanwhile, over where the titans sat, several were pondering.
"Fire resistant androides, good idea." Robin thought, "I wonder what she'll do know."
"Do not give up, friend Kage!" Star's mind cheered.
"Dude, she's toast!" Beast Boy mused.
"Shit, those are fire resitant, maybe I should go help her..."
"Keh," Kage snorted. She drew her arm under her cloak and in lighting speed, 1 droid was lying on the ground.
"Woah!" exclaimed several of them.
She stood there; a smirk on her face and a whip in her hand. She lashed out her weapon of leather and caught a raptor's leg. Then pulled back, letting it fly. Then she lept of the ring of fire, and implanted a flying kick into the last one; finishing her handy-work.
The titans stared; there jaws were dropped.
She then made a mad sprint and crossed the line. Kage took a deep bow and looked up, "So? Whatdaya think?"
Saikyou:Hmmm, what do they think? I dunno... wait, I do! But I'm not telling until YOU review! Lol, ya like? I made this chapter longer! Until next time,
Ja ne!
