On the other side of town, an alarm was triggered, followed by the sharp yell of a teenage boy, which echoed through the tower.
"Titans,
trouble!"
The boy wonder skidded into the common
room. The masked face of Dick Grayson stared at the screen, which was
flashing red, a yellow dot pinpointed on the large map of the city.
Shortly after Robin had arrived, the two female titans came in, Raven
adjusting her cape and Starfire ripping a brush out of her long red
hair. Cyborg came next, a greasy rag in hand, followed last by the
resident changeling Beast Boy, whose hair was still wet from a recent
shower. He looked disgusted.
"Ugh…dude, never try pulling on Spandex without drying yourself first..." Beast Boy commented, shuttering slightly. The others ignored him while Robin started talking.
"Somebody traveled into the nuclear testing area…" Robin said grimly. At this, Cyborg's eyes widened. "We could have a serious problem depending on how long they've been there…" Cyborg nodded in agreement, but Beast Boy rolled his eyes.
"Dude, just explain it so we can get going!" Beast Boy complained. Robin shook his head.
"There's no time. We need to get there now," Robin remarked, turning and running towards the door. The others followed quickly.
When they got there, Raven put up a shield to protect them from the radiation. Meanwhile, she searched for the minds of life forms. Within five minutes, her mind brushed against the conscious of an extremely complex and deformed being. The conscious pushed back, startling Raven and causing her to pull back. "Robin…something is here…and it's telepathic," Raven remarked darkly. Robin's gaze darkened.
"We need to find it," Robin said. She sighed and reluctantly made contact again. The creature seemed curious, confused, and frightened.
/Who are you/ the creature asked, the thoughts having a feminine sound. Raven, again reluctantly, answered.
/A friend as long as you are not foe…/ she answered. The creature responded with a feeling of understanding.
/I…don't know what's going on…or how I'm talking to you…/ the creature replied. Raven relayed the information to the Titans.
"Tell it to come here…we can't risk going any deeper…" Robin said. Raven reverted into her concentrative state. Her eyes slowly opened as she spoke.
"She agreed…" Raven remarked, not sounding happy about it. "Robin…I'm not so sure about this...her mind is so complex…not to mention radioactive." Robin tensed slightly as they awaited for the creatures arrival.
Several minutes passed under Beast Boy's sensitive hearing picked up the sound of delicate wing beats. A moment later, the creature was visible. Each of the Titans' jaws dropped in amazement and horror. Flying towards them, was a mutated human, terribly affected by the radiation. The girl had two giant rainbow moth wings that carried her delicate frame through the air. Almost her entire body was covered in, what seemed to be, light pink colored fur, except for her chest and torso, which was guarded with sleek black armor. Her eyes were an eerie green and two feathered antennae came out of her head. The Moth-like girl landed swiftly and gracefully, looking at the Titans with something close to extreme embarrassment and shame upon seeing the looks on their faces. As Robin was about to say something, the girl spoke up.
"My name is not of importance right now…but you need to leave before any of the others return…" she said in a mystical voice. Robin blinked in surprise.
"Raven told me you were telepathic…I guess that's how you knew what I was going to ask?" Robin questioned. The girl nodded.
"There are more like you?" Starfire asked, obviously unable to contain her awestruck look. The girl looked at Starfire with her glowing eyes.
"Four others to be exact…one of them is harmless…but the other three are deadly. They are unable to control the radiation pulsing through their veins and are currently running amuck. The harmless one is my sister…but you will not find her here," the girl remarked.
"We have to find them…if-" Robin was cut off by a screech in the distance. The moth-like girl gasped and took a step backwards.
"Gyaos has arrived…please do not harm her, she can't control herself!" the girl shouted as the titans ran forward. The girl sighed in defeat.
"Oh Cecilia…" she muttered disdainfully under her breath.
