A Little Note: I'm so sorry it took so looooooooooooong forgive me!

Chapter 3

Falcon's P.O.V.

Falling in a haze of red, metal bars surround me. I'M CAGED! Voices whisper in the blood red darkness "Never Free" "No Escape" "Your mine child" "Forever" and the manic laughter. Grows louder and louder, till it's unbearable. And…

I bolt up panting! Taking in my surroundings I see the bright girl, seeing that I'm awake she starts talking on and on and on…. Really quite sweet, I just smile and nod my head; she doesn't seem to notice. Remembering my once wounded wing, I extend both wings out.

The girl's eyes go big, "So pretty" She whispers, reaching out to stroke my right wing tentatively. While I flex my left wing to see that it has healed beautifully, there isn't even a slight scar. That's good Brother Blood doesn't like his property scared, probably Jinx's idea, poor thing, Master won't be happy with her…too bad.

Shaking my head, I turn to the girl still stroking my wing. I pull out a large loose feather, "Here," Handing her the shining feather, "A gift of friendship." I smile unsure of myself; most of the people at hive feared me, except for Bumble Bee. So I was use to friends, but apparently it was the right thing to say.

Squealing, the girl grips me in a rib crushing bear hug, "OH GLORIOUS DAY! I'VE A NEW FRIEND!" She jumps up and starts flying around the room, completely care free with her gifts I want to be like that. "Oh joy!" She lands cheerfully, "I am Starfire, Princess of Tamerain!" Starfire looks at me expectantly.

"Oh, nice, I'm called Falcon, and I'm orphaned, so I don't know were I'm from." Star nods understandingly.

"I see! You should sleep now." She orders politely, seeing I'm not laying down she tries to pushing me. To her surprise I'm strong, I can see it in her face.

"I really need to talk to the other, (I bite my lip), Teen Titans. I heal faster the most humans and I only need a few hours sleep, so really I'm fine." Looking unconvinced, knowing this will be a huge process. I pretend to yawn and stretch, like I'm about to lay back down. But in reality I'm getting the blankets off. Starfire watches trustingly not suspecting anything. I stretch my wings too and Star is again in amazement. I one quick motion I send a gust of wind to open the door and zoom out. Starfire close on my tail, using the air I sense the others and following the hallways toward them. The joy of flying fills me and I let out a predatory screech of joy. Starfire is close behind me and arguing that I need rest, to heal, etc. I almost crash into a large door with a T on it, but it opens just in time. I fly in and everyone freezes in surprise, Starfire lands by the door still yelling at me.

"You need rest," The attractive boy with spiky hair and love for bright colors, remark calmly. Sending a cool glance Starfire's way, she instantly shuts up with a small squeak.

As I open my mouth to answer, the dark adds in a monotone voice, "No she doesn't, she can go on very little sleep and heals quickly for a human." No sooner had she finished that I dove forward and pinned her down before she could react.

"How do you know that!" I whisper fiercely my fingers on her shoulders beginning to morph into talons.

Not even twitching she remains completely calm, flicking a hand at the others to show she's fine. I tighten my grip not tight enough to break the skin, but rip the thin fabric over it. "When I healed your wing, I entered your mind and learned everything about you. All your secrets, and your past…I'm sorry." She kept her face blank, but her eyes are apologetic, once someone has power over you they have the control. This girl understood me. Nodding I get up using my wings for balance, I give her my completely human hand to help her up. A slight smile appears on her face directed at me and I smile back with my wolfish grin.

"Ok…WAS I THE ONLY ONE WEIRDED OUT BY THAT?" Beast Boy whined in his squeaky voice, Cyborg looked back and forth between Raven and myself then just gave up and shrugged at Beast Boy. Starfire was already playing with some worm thing, treating it like a baby.

"Right…"Came Robin's solemn drawl, "You're going to have to take your mask off."

"Why!" I snapped, my wings spread ready to fly away.

"We need to see if you're a criminal, Brother Blood could of brain washed you or something. We need to know." Robin explained to me, it was obvious that he was losing his patients. Glancing Raven, for some reason I feel incline to trust her, just something about her. Raven nods and I know it's safe.

"Fine, you can interrogate me, if it's in soundproof room, sealed air tight, no recording me, no cameras, and no windows. That's the only way I'll agree to this crap." I retort, I mean how many kids have a room like that.

Apparently they do. The Titans led me down deep underground to an average size room. I looked around, using my senses to see that everything is how I want it. There is a large rectangular table with five chairs one side and one on the other. Guess which one's mine. Sitting down in the uncomfortable chair, I look over and see that they have settled themselves in. Trying to relax I let my wings hang out.

"Right, lets get this over with, I don't enjoy being trapped underground," I snap.

"Fine," Robin agrees soothingly, nodding at Raven she puts the tips of her right fingers on the palm of my hand. "To tell if you're lying." Cyborg presses some buttons on his robo arm. "Right let's begin by you taking your mask off." I glare at them pulling my mask off. Everyone gasps, no I'm not horrendously ugly, anything but. My face is sweet and angelic to the sight; and eyes no longer sliver but a natural foggy aquamarine.

"Before you ask, I am the lost daughter of the Bruce Wayne's cousin, he sold me to Brother Blood for my gifts, embarrassment for a child of such oddity, and of the sheer profit." I whisper before they could open their mouths to answer.

"When did you discover your powers?" Robin continued.

"I've had the connection to the sky and it's children all my life, but it became apparent on the of my thirteenth birthday."

"I see, and how did your father know Brother Blood?"

"My father had dealings with Blood in just about everyway."

"Hmm… Why did you leave Blood?" Cyborg piped in intently.

"I wish for freedom, to soar the sky uncontrolled. To not be forced to abuse my powers for evil, but to use the gifts God has graced me with for good, to help others in need of help! Also to punished those who feed on the fear of the weak!" I started out whispering, but in the end was shouting with a passion. With wings spread at full length I know I must look like a revengeful angel. The Titans stand to one side whispering back and forth.

Finally Robin walks over and takes my hand, placing a weird communicator thing with a large T on it on my palm. Without realizing it my fingers close around the communicator protectively, seeing this they smile. Robin places his hands on my shoulders, "Welcome the Team Titans."
