I slowly opened my eyes, craned my neck up, and looked around. I wasn't in Titans Tower that was for sure. But why I wasn't, I had no idea.

I sat up straight and looked around again. I was in a shadowed area, crowded with trees. I'm in a forest, I concluded. But which forest, I could not answer. Sure, there were only a few places in Jump City that were filled with trees, but there were enough to confuse someone.

I stood up, now, and looked down at myself terrified. My clothes! They were torn! I bore scraps all over my legs were the fabric of my clothes had ripped! Where was I? And what was I doing here, nonetheless, how'd I get here?

I scrambled through the rows of trees and found myself at the edge of a cliff. I daringly looked down to find a silvery-blue sea underneath me. Then I realized where I was.

I remembered sitting at my small window- the only source of light in my room- and looking over the ocean. There was a forest nearby, I could see, the tops of the trees peeked up from their hideaway. It wasn't to far from Titans Tower; I had once considered going there. Well, I was here. The one place I actually didn't want to be at. Without my R-cycle, how would I get to my home quickly? Yeah, I could walk, but I found myself extremely exhausted at the thought.

I quickly sniffed the air at the disturbance I felt. Smoke. I searched the sky for the source, and finally spotted a black-brown shadowy substance flowing up in the clouds. I hesitated for a moment, and ran through the mass of woods. Now that I knew where I was, I could navigate my way to the edge of the Jump City Central Park. I could then help anybody who needed it. After, of course, I had found the root of the fire.

I finally reached the end of the forest and looked around. The park was strangely deserted. I ran to the exit and found the fire. It was in front of me. The huge tidal wave of red fire was eating up the Post Office. But strangely, it looked like it had started a long time ago. "Uh," I looked around for a fire hydrant, and finally found one a couple feet away.

Quickly, I ran to the fire hydrant and stopped dead in my tracks. I don't have a hose, I thought, it really isn't any good if there isn't a hose. I looked around, but found nothing. "This is ridiculous!" I said out loud.

"Duh," I then remembered my communicator. I searched the remains of my belt for the circular cellphone. But it wasn't there. In fact, nothing was there! I searched frantically. "What did I do with that darn thing!" The fire was rising even higher now. I couldn't stand there and wait; I had to run. For once, I had to admit that I was useless. Nothing more than a mere teen who makes gadgets as a hobby.

I ran through the streets and finally found the lake that surrounded Titans Tower. I knew there was no other way but to swim. I swam until I reached the narrow path that led to the door. "Titans!" I yelled as I walked through the door. "There's a fire by Central P-" I stopped short.

Titans Tower was… empty. Nobody was there, I could tell. It looked as if they had been gone a long time. I searched madly for a note they might have left. But then, I questioned myself, wouldn't they be looking for me? I mean, I was gone, without a trace.

I went over to the large window that adorned one of the walls of Titans Tower. I could still see the smoke, rising up in the sky, like a warning signal almost. But I hadn't noticed how torn up it looked, until now that is. The buildings, once so neat, now looked run down. Cars were smashed every which way, and windows were broken. What happened?

"Get him! He's terrorizing the city!" I turned around to find an angry mob of people. "He'll hurt anybody in his path!"

"What! I won't hurt anybody! I'm Robin, boy wonder. Remember?" I was frantic, hoping they weren't talking to me. Hoping it was only that voice I had heard last night, trying to scare me.

And then, through the crowd, came a little girl. She was crying, tears streaming down her face like waterfalls. "What's wrong?" I walked over to her. "Are you all right?" I saw an enormous scratch on her arm. "Do you-" The little girl backed away from me. "Please, don't hurt me." She continued crying as she said these words, and then ran back towards the middle of the mob.

"What's wrong?" I asked the people, "I don't know what's going on. Please, tell me what is troubling you so?"

"You!" A woman stepped up and scowled. " You have damaged our city! Our homes! Our lives! And yet the Titans do nothing to help us from their rampaging companion! But I fear, they too, are scared."

"I'm sorry," I pleaded, "but I don't know what you're talking about." I tried to make my voice clear and truthful, but instead, it came out in a fearful tone.

"You are obviously lying!" A man said. "How could anyone not know what has been happening in the last twenty-four hours?" I heard a faint whisper of agreement. "Look," I said, trying to calm things down a bit. "I woke up to find myself in a forest, this morning. I couldn't remember what happened and why I was hurt." I paused, hoping my words would help the people understand my situation. But after hearing no response, I decided to continue. "If it was me," I slowly trailed of, praying that it wasn't really me. "If it was truly me, I am very sorry, and I wish that you would forgive me." Sweat was streaming from my face.

"We forgive you. But the mess you have left behind isn't going to be an easy clean-up." The woman said thoughtfully. "Nor the fixing, either." She smiled politely, then led a group of disappointed people out of the T-shaped home. I sighed and then had a weird thought in my head. Why don't they clean up the mess, instead? I wondered rudely, I mean, it is their city, and I only save people, not clean and fix. I knew I was right. And I sadly approved of my thought. I wouldn't help, I would find the others, and tell them of the people's mistake.

Alright, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! But for now, please review! Sincerely, Jennifer.
