Travel

Chapter One: Travelers

By: MirandaOtto

Hey everyone, I'm making a story that I will continue…and every time I don't update a chapter (which is every week) I have to put up two chapters. Yes, this will work! Ok, anyways, here we go!

Chapter one: Travelers

Mia Adams, a medium height girl walked into the streets of Jump City. She stuffed her city map into one of her pockets and continued walking. Something bugged her about the store she had just past, something that made her suspicious about this whole town. Everyone was just a little too happy, too care free…it made Mia a little scared. But, never the less, she still had to go a find this Richard Grayson kid and see what was going on with his disappearance and everything. She sighed and took out her map again. She didn't really want to admit she was lost, but she couldn't find this "titans tower" anywhere. Dr. Oliver, her care taker, had told her that it wasn't that hard to find, " A giant T on- oh."

Mia looked to the north and saw an island off coast with a tower in the shape of a "T" on it. What puzzled Mia was how she didn't see it before. I was bigger then he father's mansion. Not like Mia ever got to enjoy any of it. He father always kicked her out before she could sit on and thing, touch anything or even lean against a wall. He had hated her ever since she was born, but Dr. Oliver had always been there for her so she lived.

But, as sensible as Dr. Oliver was, Mia didn't quiet understand what she was looking for. Was the kid a super being or something? Invisible even? He was said to have a mask on, a black one. 'Oh great,' Mia thought, 'An even harder target!'

Mia hiked up the giant hill and finally got to the top. She looked around once more. She suddenly started to see more worried faces. They all started running, opposite direction of where she was headed. Then they started screaming, 'Monster' and 'demons!' Mia felt ground beneath her feet shake. She looked down and the last thing she saw was the ground crack into two halves, and her body falling into the pit beneath her feet.

When Mia awoke, she had left the city and was lying down on a soft surface. Had hell really lost its status and sunken so low as to buy cushions? No, that wasn't it. She was on a couch…a red one. Wait are those faces? She thought, Oh god, get away!

"Woah! Calm down!" Male and…and a black mask!

" Richard?" Mia mumbled, trying to raise her head slowly to avoid any dizziness (a lesson she had learned from Dr. Oliver), " are you Richard Grayson?"

"How do you know my real name?" Things were coming clearer. The kid was actually a teenager, like herself. 14, 15 maybe. He acted older though. He sounded older.

" Do you know this girl, Robin?" Female, way too high pitched. She's a little annoying already. And that out fit, more close please!

" Uh, no," Robin, or Richard said, " Not that I know of"

Mia rubbed her head and looked at the people surrounding her. There was two girls and three males. The red haired girl and some other girl. The other girl was quieter and didn't really look like she cared. Then there was the little dude, green skinned and everything. Mia quickly looked away. Then, the last person she saw was a male, he was dark skinned, half robot, and half human. Mia sighed and began to tell them who she was, "My name is Mia Adams. I'm 15 years old. My father sent me to a caretaker when I was born. My caretaker's name is Dr. Oliver."

" I've heard of him," She the dark girl. She talked in a mellow and shallow tone, "Didn't he find a way to bring back the dead?"

Mia nodded, "Yes. He told me he had been working on a project with this couple and their newborn son. They had volunteered their son for a DNA copy. Dr. Oliver tried to get the boy's DNA without harming him, but the boy was forever harmed." Mia sighed, " He never told me how, but that he was. Not in till recently did he tell me the boys name…Richard Grayson. "

" You mean, my parents did...what?" Robin asked loudly, " Why are you even looking for me?"

" Dr. Oliver said I needed to find out what happened to you." Mia looked to her left vacantly, "To tell you the truth, I don't really know anything about this project I was sent on. I was told that I would find any information soon enough, then my project would unravel but…" Mia paused and reached for her bag that was on the edge of the red sofa she had been placed on. She took out a red notebook and a pen, " Have you realized anything unnatural about yourself…say, unusual…powers?"

" Oh boy, this is ganna be long" The dark girl muttered sarcastically, referring to the fact that Robin had no special powers.

"Shut up, Raven. I kinda want to hear this myself." The green one said.

Raven rolled her eyes annoyed and shut up for the rest of the night. She got up and went into the kitchen area quietly.

" Mia is it?" Robin asked. Mia nodded, " Well I don't really have any powers. Just…tools and weapons."

Mia nodded and wrote what Robin said in her notebook. She looked up and began questioning him on any illnesses that have lasted irregularly…then…visions. Any thing that wasn't really there.

Robin scratched his neck. His mind went straight back to when he had found out Slade had been killed and then he started appearing everywhere. He had seen him everywhere that was dark though. Robin finally realized it was all in his head, " Kinda, I-"

" Did you, or did you not?" Mia pressured. She knew she was making Robin or Richard uncomfortable but he had to seal with it. Mia was uncomfortable too. She didn't feel right just waking up in a place she didn't know with people she didn't know and then questioning people she didn't know. It was all too weird. But, the sooner she got this over with, the sooner she could go home and see Dr. Oliver.

" Look, I don't really understand why you're doing this. Don't you want to know what happened?" Robin asked impatiently. He stared at Mia strangely.

" Well, if it makes you happy, yes, I would like to know what happened." Mia said high-headedly.

Robin sighed at Mia sarcastic respond. The green one laughed slightly and the half Robot stayed the same, cold and hush. He was like Raven, but not as dark.

" You know what I would like better, your names." Mia said truthfully. She knew Robin, Starfire, and Raven. But the other two were still a mystery.

" I'm Beast Boy, or BB, Beast Dude-, " Said the green one. He was interrupted by looking up at Raven then looking down and muttering, " Ok, not Beast Dude…"

" And I'm Cyborg, Just Cyborg." Said the half Robot. He smiled and stuck out his hand for Mia to shake. Mia accepted it and shook it with a smile. Beast Boy grinned foolishly and Mia suspected he was the comic type. Someone who wouldn't stop cracking jokes. Good thing she wasn't here for good.

"Well, maybe I should just leave and gather my thoughts, then I'll come back another time." Mia began to stand up but a pain in her left leg flashed into her mind and she fell over to her knees. She bit her lip and felt her left leg gently. She felt a wet thick water run through her long blue jeans. Then she realized how badly damaged she was. He mind went scattered as she tried to stand up again. But, her feet failed her and she fell over again. This time, eight hands caught her. Raven then rushed over and helped them put her back on the couch. Mia was stunned. She had never felt this much pain in her life. It was strange.

"You won't be able to walk for a few days, and that eye shouldn't clear up for a few days." Raven said quietly. She was referring to the bruise just above her eye and the major cut on Mia's leg. Mia groaned, "But at least your rib wasn't cracked."

Mia fingered her ribs and breathed heavily. Then it all came back. The fall. Something so big had cracked the earth, making it break in two. She had fallen for so long, crashing against the sides of the creases, scraping her skin. She had finally fallen onto a ledge and what she really last saw were her hosts flying down into the craves, " No…that couldn't have happened…how could it have happened. There was no earth-"

"Terra" Beast Boy mumbled.
