Dairokkan: Actually, Tuan's story... well, his past namesake's story... part of it, up to his death, has already been made.

Kyre-JKM-Storm Dragon: The major villian? The Rationalists, as well as the Titan's foes. Slade will eventually have a grand role in it all... later. You've got to realize that I'm drawing a lot of inspiration from Post's works.

seantheimp: No, no mentor. She's not related... well, not like that, or family... it'll be better explained by Tuan when he summons her, and explains what she actually is.

Hotshot45: Done... though I took my damn time doing it.

Meetings:

Ashley walked hesitantly to the tree where he'd rescued her. She really didn't want to GO back here, but… she wanted to thank him. But it was creepy, going there at sunset.

The woman beside her was an officer. After they'd asked her if they could get him to re-appear, she'd told them what he'd told her, and… well, the officer came along. She was remarkably silent…

She reached the tree, and shuddered, shivering. Her memories… she really hated this place now. It was like the love she'd had for this place had been shattered.

Slowly, hesitantly, she produced a small novel from her purse, and said hesitantly, "S…he said half an hour, at most."

The silent officer nodded, standing, scanning the forest.

&&&&&&

A tree branch snapped, and Ashley looked up quickly. A blue feather floated downward.

Standing on a durable-looking branch, a winged figure looked down towards her. He had black pants on, and a blue shirt with a… emblem on the front. A diamond, in the mid-process of shattering. He locked cool grey eyes with her, then smiled slightly. "Hello again. I'm sorry to have… dragged you to this place of bad memories…"

Ashley nodded slowly. "It's alright… but I thought you were a girl…"

The winged alien smiled faintly, almost gently. "No… it was just something an old wise woman helped me with. You don't trust men much anymore, do you?"

Ashley nodded, her eyes widening. If it had been a guy, she probably would have… slapped him and run, or something. Now, she at least knew that he had good enough intentions… though she didn't want anything to do with men anymore.

The officer said, "Would you come down? I'd like to ask you a few questions."

He nodded, sending his blue hair swaying. He stepped forward, then jumped down, spreading his wings partially, landing softly. He straightened slowly, then held out his hand, a metal staff with a rising phoenix design on the top appearing in his outstretched hand. He curled his fingers around it, then held it by his side. "Go ahead, I've got little to hide."

The woman rolled her eyes. "Name?"

"Tuán."

The woman sighed. "Sounds Irish… not your superhero name?"

He laughed softly. "No, that's my name."

The woman snorted. "Takes all kinds, I guess. Where are you from?"

He looked skyward. "Far away. Galaxies and galaxies away."

The officer froze. "You're an alien?"

He shrugged, then nodded. "I really can't hide that, can I?" He looked at the blue wings at his back, rubbing a pinion absently. "Am I in trouble for that?"

Ashley remained silent, staring at him, mouthing in shock. She'd thought he was an angel.

The officer sighed. "We'll deal with that later. You witnessed how much of the rape?"

His grey eyes narrowed to mere slits. "Not much. I saw the beast pinning her to a tree, her begging him to stop, screaming."

She looked over at Ashley, who nodded slowly, not liking remembering the past few days. "Did you hear her shout no?"

He nodded slowly. "Repeatedly." He then looked at her, and sighed. "My apologies that I wasn't there earlier."

The female officer said, "You were the one at the bank, weren't you? The one with a dragon?"

He nodded. "That was me. The… dragon, as you call him, was an ally of mine."

The officer nodded, then said "We need you to sign a statement… and testify in court."

He nodded slowly. "I understand. Treat me as a normal human… I've studied your culture rather extensively."

The officer laughed shortly. "I can tell. You don't speak like the Titan's flying redhead. How can we contact you?"

He pointed to the tree. "I'll be here. It might take some time for me to show up…"

The officer sighed again. "It's better than Bats, but still… mind coming to the station?"

He nodded. Ashley tentatively gave him a nod, and he gave her a soft gaze, one that almost seemed to say silently, "I'm sorry I wasn't there earlier."

&&&&&

Cyborg blinked at the message. "Huh?"

"Cy, what's up?"

Cyborg turned to Beast Boy, putting down the control. "BB, the police have the guardian angel at the station, sans dragon."

Beast Boy blinked, abandoning their game by pausing it. "Dude, is he under arrest?"

"Na, they're just questioning him about a rape he dealt with. It was on TV, BB."

Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "And I'd watch the boring news because…"

Cyborg rubbed his eyes. He activated his communication system, and said, "Robin, you read me?"

Robin's image appeared on his arm's screen, and said, "What's up?"

"Our little winged friend is at the station near the park, answering questions."

Robin nodded, and said, "I'm on it."

Raven's voice cut in, saying, "I'm going too."

Cyborg started to comment, then remained silent. He didn't want to argue with her.

I finished my retelling of what had happened, and relaxed onto the stool they'd provided me. My wings Hey! I'm USEFUL like this… I mentally amended, make it difficult sometimes, but are quite useful. I reached back, and ran a finger across the feathers, settling them. It was starting to feel natural, actually. We remained fused together a lot of the time, so that sped up the adaptation process. I blinked, then asked, "Anything else?"

The man sighed. "We gotta ask, for when the League finds out about this… where are you from, kid?"

I shrugged. "I'd prefer not to say, it's going to die soon." I pulled my face into a long expression.

The man remained quiet, then said softly, "That's all we need for now." He sighed, then asked, "You don't have to answer, but… why are you here? Are you a…"

I sighed. "Refugee. My people are in a war, I'm considered too young to fight."

The man snorted, but I continued, "Despite the fact that I'm about twenty-six Earth years old… maybe twenty eight, I'm none to sure of the conversions."

The officer of the law skeptically looked me over. "Twenty-seven, huh? You look a lot younger."

"My people have a lot longer lifespan. I'm about 14 years old in my people's standards."

He remained silent, and then the door opened. I was greeted by a familiar sight - Robin and Raven, of the Teen Titans. I'd used the spare time I'd gained to study them intensely, using the 'internet' as they called it, to look up info. The reasonable info I moderately believed, even. "Oh, you two again. Hello."

Robin's masked eyes narrowed. Raven commented dryly, "not going to disappear this time?"

I shook my head. "Nope. No mikran, no 'disappearances'." I shrugged helplessly, lightly fingering my staff.

Raven narrowed her eyes. "A mikran? Aren't those illegal on most civilized planets?"

I smiled weakly. "Yeah, sure. But I usually don't go to civilized planets with one."

That started the grilling, the cop remaining.

&&&&&

Robin sighed softly. "So you were sent here like that?"

I shrugged. "I suspect so. A sending can cause a being or object to travel immense distances over mere nanoseconds. But since I was unconscious at the time, I cannot remember what method was used."

Raven quietly voiced, "Your world is a great distance from here, yet you seem… almost human. If you're an alien, then why aren't you like Starfire?"

I shrugged helplessly. Time to blow a trade secret… "First off, you're an alien yourself… secondly, I used a technological device to aid me in my efforts. It's beyond my scope of understanding, but it basically makes me seem like I was raised by the culture I am within."

Raven stared at me. "How could you tell? Aura?"

I nodded. "A good summoner… hell, even a decent one has to be able to see auras." I smiled faintly (it was more of a smirk of self-appreciation, but whatever), and shrugged. "I'm good, so I have to be able to determine characteristics of auras… which include where you're from… or what species." She gave me a significant glare, and I fell silent.

Robin asked suspiciously, "And information on us…"

I smiled softly. "It's a memory-reader… sort of. It just skims for common knowledge, like language, traditions, famous individuals known by all… you get the idea. The internet you people have also helped."

Robin stared at me. I met his gaze, and blinked once, fluttering a wing over my shoulder. Eventually, he said, "Where are you crashing at?"

I smiled. "You wouldn't believe me."

Raven droned, "You'd be surprised what we can believe."

I smiled. Their poison… "A pocket dimension that's rigged to be a dwelling for myself when I'm away from home. From which, I scanned your radio-waves, and accessed the internet to learn more."

Raven arched a single eyebrow, and I shrugged. "Standard issue, for military summoners who are deemed useful. I was a great symbol for the military… so I got one. Well… that and saving the sixth brigade because I snuck out." I chuckled, remembering. "Command was ready to take a hammer to my skull for that… except for the fact that I saved that unit, and forced a retreat for the Rationalists."

Robin studied me silently, then offered slowly, "Want to try Titans Tower? We'd like to know a bit more about the Guardian Angel…"

I snorted, but nodded my head. "Sure." I looked upward, and smiled. "First, let's get out of here." Watch for the hidden dagger.

I'm not worried… too much. But I'll be on guard.

&&&&&

I looked skyward, and sighed. "Wiseman was right."

Robin said, "Huh?"

I turned to him, and shrugged. "You really don't want to know. Just… an old friend." Before he could say anything else, I dashed off, then jumped into the air, gaining altitude slowly in the dead air.

Raven floated upwards, 'flying' (more like levitating) next to me. "Ocisishuhya. You're from there, aren't you?"

I'd never said where I was from to them. I nodded slowly. "Yes, I am."

She said in a gentle tone, "How is the war going?"

I stared at her. "Would I be a refugee if we were winning? The Rationalists are destroying us, one by one. We lost the capital city, and several of our large cities. We've lost, and even the most optimistic know it."

I forced my wings to pump harder, moving faster. Raven fell behind for a moment, then caught up, but remained mercifully silent.

A/N: The more reviews I recieve, the more motivated I am to update. Just letting you know. No pressure to press that 'review' button or something... nope.
