This is my new story! YAY! I know I still haven't finished Sacrifice or The New Kids, but I read a story by Lunatic with a hero complex (which BTW, is my favorite story) and got an idea for a new one.
WARNING!!!!- This is a Raven Robin fic. If you don't like this pair, don't read this story! There will be no Star bashing like there was in Sacrifice, but don't flame me for not using that pair. You have been forewarned. XO
They were perfect, or at least, they were in the eyes of the people they protected. They were the Teen Titans: high, mighty, noble superheroes. They were the justice preserver, defenders of Jump City, or just plain do-gooders. They were powerful in the people's eyes, and they loved the town as the town loved them.
They were always there when there was a scream or a cry. But two of the mighty heroes didn't think they were allowed to be humans, with feelings, or stress, or even…pain. They felt that if they were given the responsibilities to uphold order in the town as heroes, they had to act like heroes in every single moment they could. True, the others were there to help, but sometimes they couldn't deal with it.
Starfire, was always happy, at home, or out on the streets. She always was the one trying to turn people's frowns upside down. She was also the prettiest. With her long red hair, emerald eyes, and curvaceous body, she was always there for people, if they wanted her to or not. When people would asked for their space, she would often take it the wrong way, thinking that they disliked her. She would then become cold. She had the true powers of a Tameranean warrior with flight, superstrength, starbolts from the hands and eventually from the eyes. When she arrived on earth, she was given the name Starfire because her Tameranean name, Koriand'r, translated into Starfire.
Beast Boy, on the other hand, was the goofy one. He was a green changeling, tiny in size, but large in humor. He was always there with a joke, even if it was corny. He might have seemed this way on the outside, but inside storms would rage occasionally. He hated being the little guy. He had wanted to be strong, not be a Titan because of his animal powers only. He had gotten his olive green skin and short stature when he had to be treated for a disease that only was curable on animals. His parents, who were scientists, turned him into an animal temporarily, where he got the name Beast Boy, and was no longer known as Gar Logan.
Cyborg was very different. He was a kind teen. Before the "accident" he was the most popular kid in school. Victor Stone, a handsome, smart athlete. He was an African-American. Bald, but muscular. Now, all off him that you could see was one quarter of his face. He was the smart one on the team. Sure, he missed being a human, alive, but he was Cyborg, a Teen Titan, and he was accepted. He always was there for people if they needed a laugh, or someone to bring them back to reality. He was the only one who bring you back to reality by burping though.
Now, the last two were much different than the others. They were quieter. They didn't joke around as much. Mostly, they kept to themselves a lot.
Raven was not from this planet as well. But she was partially human. Her mother was from earth, and her father was Trigon, a demon who gave her her powers. After Arella had had Raven, Trigon killed her mother. Some mentors managed to get hold of Raven, and raised her to keep her demon side under control. She managed her emotions, and once she was old enough, she was shipped off to Earth, as Raven Roth. She met Richard Grayson, who was known as Robin, the Boy Wonder, and they co-founded the Teen Titans. She might not have thought it, but she was very pretty as well. She had large violet eyes, and violet hair to match. If you were lucky to see her without her cloak, you might have been able to see her shapely body. She possessed powers of levitation, telekinesis, and many other dark talents.
Lastly, there was Robin, the Boy Wonder. Trained and raised by Batman himself, he had been through a lot. His parents were trapeze artists, and they fell to their death because someone cut the cable. Bruce Wayne was a kind man, but he wasn't very exciting. And now, he dealt with the stress of being the leader of the only justice except police in Jump City. And then, of course, there was what was behind the mask of his. No one had ever seen his eyes, not even Bruce. When ever he wasn't wearing his mask around Bruce, he was always in sunglasses. Having no powers, he made up for that with combat skills and amazing gadgets. His spiky black hair and well-built yet short body made him easily recognized by all his admirers. Now, he dealt with more anxiety than ever. With the ongoing threats of Slade, and having to act the perfect leader when he wasn't put him into some depression. But he never talked to someone, or expressed it, so it grew. He had considered talking to Raven, with her being the only one who would probably understand, but he had never gotten the courage to finally go to her.
These two also both had a problem that they had desperately tried to get rid of, but had never been able to. In their eyes, they saw that there was only one way to get rid of the pain locked within them. Every day, they would cut themselves. Robin would use whatever he could; he had used paperclips, staples, glass, razors, his birdarangs, anything. Raven always used a knife. If it was a butcher's knife, or a paring knife didn't matter to her. She made many cuts all over her arms whenever she could. Soon, they would realize that the help they needed lay within each other.
Well, what do you think? I know it's kind of cheesy, but tell me what you think please! If you are extra nice to me, I might even dedicate one of my future chapters to you.
