A/N: Alright, this is my first TT fic, so be nice. I do like reviews, complements are good, critiques will get you praise in the next chapter, and maybe some complements if they amuse or strike me as interesting ;D. Other than that... Well, I guess there is nothing other than that... REVIEW!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except my original character, which has yet to be named... Well, okey, I own my radio, but that's pretty much it... Oh, and I own a cup of sugar... BUT NO NEIGHBOR OF MINE IS GETTING IT eats sugar

I reached the top of the hill. Starring at the cracked sidewalk I stopped for a moment. Looking up I caught my first glimpse of the tower. The soft yellow lights of its windows glowing, illuminating the tiny island it perched upon and the tiny waves that caught the light glinted. A calming sight, but I put my eyes down again and pushed the breath-taking sight from my mind, so that only the need to walk in a straight line was prevalent. Nothing reached me. If someone was to shove my shoulder I wouldn't notice, when I reached an intersection to cross, the search for oncoming traffic was natural to me now as walking. So I walked down the road to the sandy bank. Only then did I realize I had no way to reach the island. I looked slowly around. No boats, not even an indent in the sand where a boat could have been.

It was possible that I could grab the attention of a titan if I waited on the beach. It was deserted, but that was to be expected at 10:30 at night.

I sat down, wrapped my arms around my legs and put my chin behind my knees and starred into space. I kept myself in control only absentmindedly as I starred at the base of the tower, trance like, but keeping my ears alert for any indication of a titan returning. Robin had a motor cycle, but that's all I knew... Did Beast Boy fly or swim to get to the tower? Probably flew. And what about Cyborg?

The brick wall I'd cemented in my head to hold back emotion and memory dipped, braking several laws of physics that the mind naturally disregards. It was enough though, just enough to pull me halfway into a dark pit. I closed my spaced out eyes and put my head between my knees so that the bones in my knees held pressure against each temple.

When I came out of the episode I sat with my legs slightly apart, enough to rest, but not enough to be lewd. Cars shot past behind me. I'd sat down in front of the divider that separated beach from road, so no one driving by would see me.

Silent, the world ignored me and I returned the gesture, nearly causing me to miss the hoof clop somewhere in the noisy backdrop. But my reverie was broken when I noticed their sudden silence, and only the car engines rumbled by.

The cars continued to speed by as I tried to think of what to do. Afraid to lose control again I wrapped my arms around myself, leaned back and rocked forward onto my feet while remaining crouched as I turned to face the grey cement divider. I stiffened, not quite sure of what to do next, while trying to maintain the less than sturdy wall within me.

Soon the cars on the street stopped. Most likely they'd gotten a red light. Then the hooves began again. Definitely headed directly at the beach and Titan's Tower.

Hoping to catch their attention I leapt straight up, facing the road. But instead of just trying to grab attention, I collided with green.

The horse and its rider had leapt to clear the divider at the same moment I had jumped. The collision flung my body hard into the sand. The momentum of the impact was enough to cause my self to bounce back up a foot and a half into the air, and two feet farther back. I could barely make out the hooves that landed around me as I laid dazed on the sand but I was able to recognize a heavy thump about two yards up from my head. It was a clumsy off-balance landing, and it's blue rider had fallen from the horse farther up, with a surprised yell at our collision.

I didn't pay attention or notice anything after that, I just kept my mind on keeping the solidity of the wall as I drifted towards unconsciousness. Brief contentment occurred as the wall collapsed and memories and feelings I'd been holding in away from people flowed out and away.
