OOC: Hello once more! I must say, this is not my best story, and my other is much better. But anyways...here's the second chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Titans..etc. Logan andMirage are mine though!


"Who are you?"

Robin's voice rang through the room as the others nodded their agreement. The boy stood against the wall while his sister laid upon the couch. He seemed unwilling to come in farther, his eyes only focusing on his sister. Robin's fists were clenched, the mad gleam had entered his eyes, and though the Titans could not see through the mask, they knew it was there. Starfire touched his arm comfortingly and gave him a soft look. Robin didn't lessen though.

"Who are you? Where are you from?"

"Robin, dude, let them answer one question at a time."

"May I get anything to make you better?" Starfire floated over to the odd girl sitting upon the couch. The girl nodded, her solemn expression unmoving. "Just water."

Starfire zipped away and headed towards the fridge where she began to rumage for water. "The sink, Star," Cyborg called, not even turning from his position on the couch to look at the alien girl. A squeal was heard as Starfire realized her mistake and began to zoom around looking for a cup.

"Actually, Beast Boy, I'd like to know the same thing." The boy drew his gaze from his sister to look at Raven. Her hood was pulled over her face to hide it still and her eyes glimmered. He sighed softly and looked at his sister in what search for what seemed to be support.

The girl motioned for her brother, who slowly walked to next to the couch and sat on the edge nervously. "Go ahead."

"I'm Logan and this is my sister...Mirage. We're twins."

"Ah, are you fans then? Here to get our autographs?" Beats boy's chest puffed out and he grinned.

Logan actually managed a soft laugh. It seemed with that chuckle the mood was lifted and they could speak normally without the tension. "Actually, no. My sister and I... I guess we're gifted, if you want to call it that. We're from the north, quite far, and we were sent out to find others like us."

"Gifted? You mean like super-heros?"

"Not quite." Mirage was the one to speak this time. Her voice- soft and difficult to hear yet with that touch of a musical sound to it. "We have powers, yes, but we are super-heros..."

"What type of powers?" Robin tilted his head to the side in curiosity. Starfire returned and handed Mirage a glass of water. The girl nodded a thank you and took a sip of it before continuing.

"I'm surprised you don't know by my name. Mirages- illusions."

She waved a pale hand across the air in front of her and breathed deeply. The Titans blinked, all of them, in astonishment. Before their eyes wavered a beach, a beautiful sandy shore, crystal blue waves crashing, white foam flying. Seagulls screeched in the air while the smell of salt-water and fish reeked in the air. Each Titan felt sand in their toes- though they were all wearing shoes- felt the feel of the crisp breeze ruffle their hair.

Yet even as they were at the beach, they still saw the twins sitting in front of them, as if two images were combined into one. "Whoa..."

Beast Boy's word pretty much summed it up.

The scene faded and Mirage lowered her hand. "The waver that you saw isn't usually there, I just didn't want to startle you too much." The Titans were silent for a long moment before Raven interrupted the quiet.

"What about you..Logan."

Logan stood up and walked forward to Starfire. "If I could see your hand..." The alien held out her hand to Logan, who took it and pinched the center of her hand sharply. A red welt appeared as Starfire gave a cry of surprise and pulled it back.

"That hurts!"

"I know... I'm sorry, but can I see it again?"

Starfire tilted her head and held out her hand cautiously. Logan touched her hand with one finger and a silver glow seemed to reach from his finger and wind its way through her hand. The welt remained, but Starfire quickly revealed to them the change. "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"That wasn't much, but I don't want to hurt any of you... I can manipulate pain."

((Author's note: That is my power! I swear it! Any power charries I make, they have that gift. And if I had superpowers... well,. You can guess! Hehe... -insert sweatdrop- sorry for that little interruption...))

Robin examined Starfire's hand. "Wow, that's really interesting."

Logan nodded and smiled softly. "Thank you."

"But why come here?" Beats Boy's eyes were puzzled. "There's plenty of other places to go."

"Because you're like us. You're cursed like us too." Mirage stared at Beast Boy, her eyes glittering.

Raven stared at her. What was it about this girl? The icy gaze, the solemn stare, the whiskey voice. The distrust she made the others feel... It seemed so familiar.

With a jolt it hit her.

This girl was just like her.
