I do not own the Teen Titans. I do own Ember and Fletcher, and you may not use them without my consent.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dark girl told Ember to follow her. She led her up to the main room, where the two other Titans she had seen were sitting on the couch, looking at Ember. She didn't notice.

The place was huge! It was like nothing Ember had ever seen. The rooms were big, the windows were big, and the view was awesome. Everything was great.

"Wow," she said to herself. "I would love to live here." She walked around, and then noticed the two were looking at her, plus a tall girl that had just come in. The girl was starring at her. Ember reddened.

"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Ember. I came because, I well, needed a hiding place for a couple of minutes. Your tower was the closest. Your friend Raven already figured me out. I have-"

"The ability to disappear. I kind of figured." Raven said in a flat tone.

"When you disappeared suddenly, I read your mind. I knew something was there." She threw a glance at a green boy. He smiled innocently at her.

"Hey, aren't you the chick that came running toward us?" the green boy asked her. Before she could reply, the boy in the costume staggered out and flopped on the couch. Like the tall girl, his eyes widened when he saw her.

Ember was thrilled to see that Robin, the boy she had rescued, was all right. After the joyful moment had passed, the green teenager repeated his question.

"I said, weren't you the chick that came running toward us?" he asked. His was scanning her from head to toe.

"Yeah," she said. "I was-"

"Why?" he asked again.

Well, um, it's kind of a long story…" she mumbled.

"Anytime you're ready to tell, we're ready to hear it." Raven said sarcastically.

"It started when my now ex-boyfriend, Fletcher, decided to use my powers for his own evil ways. Robbing banks, break-ins, even a murder. All with my help."

"Then why'd you do it?" Cyborg asked incredulously.

"He threatened me! After I finally decided to stand up to him, he threatened to hurt me. So I ran away. I had no other choice!"

"Couldn't you have done your invisible act and gotten away from him?" Beastboy asked. "You hid from us and we didn't even find you." Raven glared at him. "Well, most of us didn't," Beastboy laughed awkwardly.

"That would have been a great idea if he didn't have powers as well. He has heat-seeking vision, and that power is enough to find me, even when I am invisible. But when I'm with other people, he doesn't try to attack me. He doesn't want his abilities to be discovered, only mine." She sighed. "I wish I could get away from him. He's like a living nightmare to me."

Raven listened to Ember's story. The girl droned on and on and on and on, though she had already explained why she was here. Plus she had said she was only going to be here for a 'couple of minutes'. It had been more than a few, and she could be reading her book or meditating with such time.

"So, let me get this straight: your boyfriend was chasing you, so you used us for cover?" Raven raised an eyebrow at this girl.

"Only because I know he won't hurt anyone around me, at least when I'm using my powers."

Robin, who was usually questioning everybody for possible evidence, sat quietly, looking at Ember. He seemed to have a slightly confused look on his face.

"Robin, you have said anything at all. What's the matter?" Cyborg asked him.

He sat for a moment, then spoke, looking at Ember. "I recognize you," he said quietly. "You're the girl who saved my life."

"Oh!" Ember said quickly, blushing slightly. "But, you passed out. How could you have known it was me?"

"How did you find Robin anyway?" Beastboy asked.

"Well, when I was running from Fletcher, I saw a light. Fletcher can't sense heat at all for at least five minutes after he's been blinded. So when I saw some light ahead of me, I ran toward it, intending to blind him. Then I saw that the light was alive, and that it was electrocuting Robin. I ended up saving Robin's life."

Suddenly, Starfire sat beside Robin and leaned her head on his shoulder. Ember looked at everyone, wondering if this was a regular thing with Robin and Starfire.

Though her identity had been explained, Robin continued to look at Ember, smiling. Starfire touched his arm, causing him to look up. "What is it Star?"

"I was wondering if you might be at all hungry," she said. She rubbed her stomach. "I am!"

"I'm with Star. I'm absolutely starved!" Beastboy said racing into the kitchen. "Where's my tofu?!" he yelled as he rummaged through the fridge. Cyborg wandered into the kitchen, went to the freezer, then to the microwave. A few seconds later, out popped his baby-back ribs. Raven was already sitting at the counter, drinking her herbal tea. Raven told Robin to eat soup. Robin looked at Cyborg.

"She's right man. It'll make you feel better."

Robin sighed and went to open a can of soup, and a box of pizza.
