"So, does the 'New Girl' have a name?" Asked Cyborg on the way home. (The girl running full speed beside the T-car, "I hate cars...make me nervous")

"Yeah –huff huff- it's Virtue" she said stumbling along.....

Back at the Tower she sat on the couch opposite the Titans. Her feet curled under her carefully and her High heeled knee high boots where sitting by the door. Up close Robin could see they were back leather through the crackles in her teal spray paint.

"So yeah," she was saying while Raven fixed her a tea, "things in my old city were getting a little....uhhhhh.... intense.....so it was time to move on I guess...." Robin narrowed his eyes, he didn't like the sound of that, "Oh thank you," she squeaked to Raven taking her tea with both hands and holding on to it like a child.

"So what do you mean you ran away?" said Robin. Virtue flinched,

"Well I kinda had to I mean....I'm just one little girl you know...."

"Still one little girl is better than no one," Virtues voice got a little desperate, she straightened, seemingly desperate to defend herself,

"I had to go! Things were getting scary....getting dangerous...." Her voice quieted and she sunk lower into the couch, staring into her tea with a sad expression. Robin was about to continue but cyborg gave him a warning glance. This was obviously a sore topic. The creeping silence was cut by Starfire's sunny but oblivious voice,

"So New Friend, Virtue, please explain this power that is yours!" Virtue looked up from her Tea as though confused as to why she was suddenly sitting in the tower.

"Oh, my power?" she said snapped from her daydream, "I can control energy."

"Please demonstrate, New Friend Virtue!" exclaimed Starfire looking overly excited as usual.

"Ah....Okay...." Virtue carefully placed her milky tea on the coffee table and stood up slowly, Reminding Robin of a cobra uncoiling. She took a couple quick steps to the center of the room and glanced around. Seeing a potted plant in the corner she asked, "Can I use this?"

"Uh, sure...said Robin leaning forward, eager to see what she can do. She placed the plant carefully on the ground in front of her and held out her hands. As she breathed in slowly little spikes of light zipped from the plant and gathered in a ball in her hand. By her feet and plant withered and turned black and crunchy. She exhaled and opened her eyes she gave a little smile and opened her hands, the ball of light fell slowly down onto the plant. The plant glowed warmly and became green and healthy again. A large bud ready to bloom on top. Her smile turned sheepish....

"Normally I would have thrown the energy or something but I didn't want to kill your plant....."
