Ok people I'm re writing my story Long Lost. Most of the people, who read it though, no longer are actively on the site. I will take into consideration all comments and criticisms that people gave me when they reviewed, the first version. So yeah this one will be more descriptive and the time line will be more accurate/believable. Oh, yeah I'll leave the other version on too, to compare and contrast.
Chapter 1 v. 2.0
Cyborg walked onto the roof and saw a dark lump breaking the horizon on Titans Tower. It was Robin, Batman's former boy wonder, and the leader of the Teen Titans.
" Yo dude. You ok?" Cyborg asked. Robin turned around at the sound of someone's voice.
"Sorry man didn't hear you come up?" he said wiping away a tear.
"You all right?" Cyborg asked.
"Yeah, just thinking." He said whipping away another tear.
"Ok..." Cyborg said questioningly at first, but then accepting Robin's answer said "Well we're all sitting down for dinner. I made spaghetti and meat balls!" He said with a grin, emphasizing the meatballs, which would drive Beast Boy crazy.
"Ok, I'll be down in a sec." Robin said, and Cyborg left him.
Robin had been thinking. About his teammates. About his crush. About his family. About his past... Robin wiped away all of his tears took a deep breath in and turned towards the door to the roof.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
It was unusually quite at the Titan dinner table tonight. Every so often Starfire would mention something new she learned today, or Beast Boy would randomly start yelling at Cyborg for putting meatballs in his spaghetti. But other than that, there weren't many noises other than the occasional burp, or slurp. Beast Boy, of course, broke the silence,
"So... is it just me or has "business" been really slow lately?" he asked.
"Ever since Terra died, Slade hasn't come after us." Raven said.
KNOCK.KNOCK.KNOCK
"That's odd," Starfire said, "who could be visiting us at this time of night."
"I'll get it," sad Robin. The others jumped slightly at the sound of his voice; he had been so silent all meal that they forgot he was there. His chair scraped against the floor as he pushed himself, silently away from the table and out of his seat. Robin walked mindlessly out of the kitchen and towards the front door. He was still thinking about his past, how he had left Gotham after his family died. How he had joined Batman. How he had left...
"Hello," He said into the intercom, he heard a slight gasp come from the person on the other side of the door. "Hello." he said again.
"Yo. What's taking so long Robin?" Cyborg asked, he and the others had finished dinner and came to see who was at the door.
"Di-di-Dick?" The voice said. It sounded like a girl, maybe 15, 16. Robin jumped at the sound of his real name. Nobody had used it in such long time, he hardly remembered that's what he went by for 9 years of his life. How could this person know his name?
"Please, Beast Boy, what is a 'dick'?" Starfire asked. Beast Boy stifled a laugh,
"It's Robin's real name, the one his parents gave him" Beast Boy said.
"Who are you?" Robin said anxiously.
"It's me, Falcon..." The voice said timidly. Robin's eyes went wide with astonishment.
"F-f-falcon!" he said and pushed the button to open the doors. A teenage girl, no older than 16, ran into Robins arms. She was about 5'4", was very pale, skinny, and had light pink hair. She looked nothing like Robin. Except for the eyes. The two had the same piercing green eyes, like they had seen too much in their lifetime.
"Robin!" She said and Robin lifted he off the ground and spun her around. "I thought I'd never see you again." She said and started to cry.
"I didn't think I'd ever see you either." Robin said and they fell into a crying heap on the floor.
"Uh Robin, I realize you and the girl are having, like, a moment but would you please tell us who she is." Cyborg asked with audible "yea's" from Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire.
"Oh sorry guys," Robin said, the pair stood up wiping away their tears, with big smiles on their faces. "sorry," he said again "Guys this is my sister Falcon." The titans were speechless.
So yeah how did I do in recreating the first chapter? And does anybody know if Terra lover (a very avid reviewer on the original version of this story) ever signed up?
