Darkness there and nothing more

CHAPTER 1, the begging

One lonely day, a girl about 13 ran away from home, and from her home planet. She was a smart girl, that didn't like people that much; you could say that's why she ran way. The one thing that she knew about people was that, well, she couldn't trust them, with anything. This girl was not like anything you would ever know, she, wasn't even human.

So I guess you could say that she is an alien, if you did, you would be right. But not one of those aliens with the big eyes and big heads that probe people and experiment on them so they could take over the world. No, she was nothing like that.

Her name was Raven and she was alone, and for what her people thought a good reason. She had powers that no one had ever thought of having. She had telekinetic powers, for those of you who don't know what Telekinesis is it is being able to move objects with your mind, how large the objects are depend on how strong your power is. This girl, Raven was very strong indeed she could lift things over 100o times her size and didn't even break a sweat.

She was a very fit person; she had violet hair, blue-violet eyes. She wore a black as black could be half body suit and a long blue cloak that went to her feet, with shoes to match the cloak. Although she was a very good looking person, she might not be your favorite person to be around. Raven had a very short temper and you wouldn't want to mess with her on a bad day.

Her powers were the reason she ran away from everything, because of the people, because of her planet, because of her and her stupid powers (every day she had to meditate to keep her powers under control). The people on her planet treated her different, not different like special, but different like a freak. She finally had enough, so she ran, she ran as far as she could. And where she ended up was Earth.

Raven stayed in the darkness, where no one could find or see her. She observed the people of Earth, and saw how they acted towards each other, to people they knew and didn't know as well. She saw humans and 'aliens' living together in peace, but the more she thought about it, the more she, surprisingly, didn't want to be around people.

She didn't like people, but yet, she still wanted to know that there were people. So she found a place that she would never think someone would go. Outside a city, there was a small island it was away from people and wasn't, in a way. She stayed there for about a month or so, but, then she started to see and hear more people. Workers came to the small island and started working on some kind of tower, maybe a home fore some rich folks. They finishes about a month or two later, it was a T shaped tower. Raven had no idea what so ever what this "T" tower was about. So she did what she had been doing all this time, she waited and observed.

Every week she would go out for food, and when she went this time there were two guys about the same age as her, they looked very strange, one was half metal, a cyborg perhaps, the other on looked somewhat familiar though, she had no idea where she had seen him before, but she couldn't put here finger on it. Anyway he was dressed in a yellow cape, a mask, a very nice mask at that, and, yes, dare I say tights, but they looked good on him. Back to the point, they were running toward her, as a reflex she leaped to the nearest alley to hide and observe. She had never been so close to being seen, and she was frightened by it. The one in the tights stopped for a second, stopped as if he had seen something. "Cyborg, did you see something?" the masked one asked, "no time Robin, we gotta go!" Cyborg answered, "Uhhh, right"

That was a close one she thought. Now she knew who they were and what direction they were heading, so she followed. They came up to were there were a lot of people running in their direction (running away). Raven stayed hidden away in the darkness. They started to push through the crowds of people, some of which were just standing there looking at the one who was causing all the panic. Nothing bade had happened really, there lay a girl, maybe about 13 14 at the most, there she lay unconscious. She was not human, she was also what people considered an "alien". They took her to the nearest hospital, they stayed there with the girl until she came to consciousness, and asked her what had happened.

"Hello, my name is Starfire, and what would your names be?" the girl asked

"Uhhh, my name is Robin, and this is Cyborg, we brought you here. You kinda crash landed in the center of our city." Robin replied

"Oh, he he he, I am sorry, but I was just looking for some new place, would you be kind enough to point out the 'Planet Earth'" Starfire asked kindly

"Uhhh, this is the 'Planet Earth'" Cyborg told her

"Glorious!" she yelled, "I have been looking into finding a new place in which I could live, do you wish to help?!"

The two boys stared at her for a second or two before responding

"Sure, we'd love to help" Robin Answered

"THANK YOU SOOOO VERY MUCH" she yelled as she got up and almost killed them as she hugged them. Right after that she flew up out of the hospital bed she was in, and her hands began to glow a very beautiful green.

The two boys just stared at her in awe, jaws dropped

"What?" the alien asked

"You can fly?!?" Cyborg responded almost immediately after she got up from the bed

"Yes, why is this so surprising to you new friends Cyborg and Robin?" she asked confused"All beings on my home planet can fly, in what way did you think I got here"

"Well I guess your right" Cyborg said thinking hard

"Say, uhh, Starfire was it" the girl nodded as Robin continued talking "How would you like to be on our new team?" He asked carelessly

"Team?" she asked not getting what 'Team' meant

"Yah, were looking for recruits we need people of special standards, like you." He said with a grin

"We sure could use you on the team" Cyborg said happily

"So what will it be?" Robin asked one last time

"Of course" she once again yelled

Raven was out side eavesdropping what they were talking about. A team she thought. Why were they

Need a team of "people of special standards"? Raven was pondering long and hard why would they want her, Raven hadn't even met her and she could already tell what kind of person she was, a way too perky bitch.
