Emily's Training Begins

As soon as Juliana disappeared the Teen Titans rushed over to help her. Robin pulled out a bird-a-rang and cut the ropes lose. Emily rubbed her sore wrists and looked at each of the Titans. They each had confused looks on each of their faces. Emily looked at Raven, Raven returned her gaze. After what seemed like hours, but was mire moments Raven said, " Why don't we go to the tower so ... what is your name?"

Emily smiled and said, " Emily Allred" Raven nodded and repeated " So Emily can tell us her story." All the Teens nodded and walked outside.

Raven said "Starfire, you go ahead and fly Cyborg home, I need to have a few words with Emily." Starfire said, "Ok Raven, but do not take long with the saying of words. That girl might be back." With that she took off into the air holding both Cyborg's arms. His legs dangled and he had a look of quesiness on his face.

Raven turned to Emily. She said " You are in great danger, one such as our aunt does not come without great powers beyond belief. She wants to kill you and will use all uses within her grasp to do so. Her minons will be watching you day and night, so trust no one." Emily said " Yes, and thank you for saving me" Raven looked sad and replied " Your welcome, but next time I doubt you will be so lucky. For the time that you are with us I will teach you about your powers. I will teach you how to fend for yourself and get out of tight spots. Now lets go before anything comes to kill you. We will fly, I want you to imagine flight, how it feels to soar through the air."

Emily closed her eyes and imaginged the feeling of the wind flowing through her hair. Being free where nothing can touch you. The feeling of moist clouds when you went through them.

Emily gasped, she was floating about 3 feet off the ground! She started to freak out and fell on the ground. She stood up and rubbed her bottom.

Raven hid a smile, "That was very good, for a beginer. Most people take years to learn. Now since you haven't done it before hold my hand at all times while we fly. If something goes wrong I can hold you from falling. Concentrate as hard as you can."

Emily concentrated once again and slowly but surely she was rising. The Raven grabbed her hand and they soared off into the bright blue sky. Emily's stomach lurched, but then calmed after a moment or two. Exhileration swept through her body like a wave.

Finally they reached the tower. Raven guided them and they landed on the roof. Raven opened the door into the tower and started the decent below. Emily quickly followed, not wanting to get lost in the huge tower. Once they reached the main room all the Titans were there. Emily gazed around the room, large windows let the sunlight come in and brighten the room. A plasma T.V. was mounted on the wall, connect to a game system with many games stacked around it. There was a big comfortable half circle couch by the T.V., and a kitched behind that.

Cyborg laughed and said, "Do you like our tower? It took us awhile to trick it out." then added sullenly, "But Robin never let me install those disco lights and music."

Emily smiled and said, "Yes your tower is amazing! I've never seen anything like it." . "Its top of the line, amazing security system and training yards. You will be training there with Raven, she will teach you to harness and control your powers." Robin replied.

Raven nodded and said "It will be hard but you'll make a good addition to the team." Emily looked shocked, "M...me? A Teen Titan? Wow, but I don't think I can really contribute anything special." Beast Boy shook his head and said, "Everyone has something unique to contribute. Cept' Raven, she just contributes a bad attitude." Raven threw a book at him, it hit him on his head and he yelled "Ouch!" The rest of the team laughed.

"Friends let us nourish ourselves with the eating of meat and other products" Starfire said. Beast Boy stopped rubbing his head and said, "No meat! Tofu!" Cyborg yelled back "Who can eat that stuff? It tastes like road kill." Robin said, "Lets make burgers, tofu and meat, ok?"

The boys nodded and set out the supplies. When they were done cooking they set the food out and everyone began to eat. When they were done, Robin asked, "Emily, will you tell us your story now?"

Emily nodded and began, "It all started when I was walking home from work..."
