Ok, ahead of time, I want to tell you guys something. My life hasn't been going very smoothly lately, so,
1. I'm sorry the chapters are so short and boring. I'll try to make them better.
2. I'm sorry if it's taking me a long time to write them.
Now on with Chapter 5.
Kaylea and Cyborg brought the groceries in from the T-Car. To Kaylea, all was right with the world.
"Welcome home, Fire Child!" Starfire tackled the teen and hugged her tightly. Kaylea smiled, but it faded quickly. She gasped in slight fear.
"Fire Child?" She struggled free of Starfire's grip. The alien girl just smiled. Suddenly, Kaylea felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around, only to see Robin looking down at her smiling as well.
"Thank Raven and Lilith for telling us about your dream."
"You know about that? That means you know that I..."
The leader nodded. "Katrina couldn't just burn up on her own."
"And Slade was defeated many years ago, so he could not have used his pyromancing abilities," Starfire added. By now, the young girl was both frightned and confused.
"You don't care that I murdered my sister?" The smiles faded.
"It wasn't your fault. You had no control over it," a voice said in the background. It was Terra. She walked up to her daughter, looked her in the eye, and slipped something into her right hand and clamped it together with her left. Kaylea opened her hands to see a pair of black framed goggles with red lens. A little chip in the corner of the right lens was light purple. "Those once belonged to your sister, remember? Her favorite color was purple, and we knew you wouldn't want to forget her, so we left a little piece of her inside." A tear ran down from the corner of Kaylea's eye.
"Thank you so much," she said, embracing her mother. Terra rubbed her back and petted her hair comfortingly. Everyone just sat quiet for a bit, when Robin finally said something.
"You'll have to start training with us if you ever want to control your new power," he told the girl, a serious look on his face. Kaylea nodded eagerly.
"I'll come every day, I promise." She looked down at her googles and saw her reflection.
A few hours passed of eating and playing video games, until around 7 PM when Kaylea went to her room to do homework. She plopped a bulky algebra book, a red Five Star notebook, and a pencil on her bed and sighed.
"Wish I could use my powers to burn up my homework, but Mr. Shikes would kill me," she chuckled to herself, and started on her work. Suddenly, she heard the phone ring. "I wonder who's calling..." she asked herself. She then got a suprised and confused look on her face. "We have a phone?" It continued to ring. Kaylea looked around for where the sound was coming from and found a phone sitting on her desk with a flame painted on it. She picked it up.
"Titans Tower, Kaylea Logan speaking, how may I help you?" She mentally laughed at herself for saying that.
"Kaylea? It's Michael."
