Falling Star
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans; if I did there would be a season 6.
Ch.1 Layra
A girl with a small ripped up skirt and a tank top stood by the main bridge at Jump City. It was a slightly windy day which made her long silver hair and her purple/blue wings look even more enchanting and attractive. The girl had almost transparent white skin and her light blue eyes completely were surrounded by a light shade of purple glitter.
Her appearance made her look like a villain, but she was not, she was merely a run away, someone that had no interest in a home or in any kind of relationship with anyone. She had become this" monster" she called in not so long ago, it was about 2 or 3 years ago actually.
Her parents did not know about it, they still don't, she would always keep her wings inside of her and she always put her hands into some sort of hot water or wore gloves ( she can shoot ice out of then so they are always ice cold). Her skin was probably the biggest problem out of all; it took a lot of makeup to even make it look like a natural color. And her once chestnut brown hair was now silver so she had to dye it back to its original color every time it would grow out again.
Now looking back at this she wondered why she never told anyone that this was happening, she guessed that she was just afraid of being called a freak or being made fun of. She soon decided on becoming an outcast at school, she stayed away from people that wanted to be her friends; people that she knew would not care if she had wings or if she would freeze almost anything with just a touch of her hand.
But she did not want to take any kind of risk; she wanted to be completely safe with her secret.
But even the most protected people make mistakes. One day she forgot to set her alarm clock and woke up late for school, and was in a big rush to get ready. Putting in makeup was the first thing she did when she woke up, she also had to scrub of all the glitter that somehow found its way back on to her face every night.
Well that day, because she was in a lot of rush, she forgot to.
She came to school looking like she never did before. A teacher came up to her and rudely told her that it was not Halloween and that she needed to go and wash all that glitter and white powder of off her face immediately.
The girl knew her mistake right away. She started to run out of the school knowing that she would never be able to explain this to any teacher. Her teacher was yelling for her to stop this instant and to come back and pick up all those feathers that she was dropping behind her.
"Layra, get back here right now," yelled her teacher as she followed her out the door.
That same teacher called her parents and told them what had happened at their school that day. Layra was suspended for 1 day for coming to school dressed inappropriately and for causing a public disturbance when she ran away. Of coarse Layras parents were in shock when they heard from the teacher, they asked their daughter what got in to her and for her to explain her self, but what could Layra say? Guess what mom and dad I ran way because, look, I have wings and if I touch things I can make them freeze! Layra just sat there in silence and took their punishment, no cell phone for a week. Layra did not really care though, who was she gona call anyway.
But Layra did think of something, this is my chance she thought, my opportunity to run away. The next day she packed everything that she thought she would need into a grey backpack. She took a couple sets of clothes, and all the money she had been saving up for everything, her credit card, some matches and anything else that would fit and that she would need.
Layra took out scissors from her drawer and opened her closet to pull out a light neon green hoodie that had a crescent moon on it. She took the scissors and cut 2 large strips in the back of it. She put the hoodie over her orange t-shirt which also had 2 holes in the back.
Layra tightly closed her eyes and let out a grunt as her wings started to grow from her back, They were like nothing you have ever seen, blue and purple feathers were on them and it looked like she was a bird of some sort, or an angel. Layra picked up her backpack and flew out the window.
The rest is history.
Now Layra stood at the main bridge wondering what she was going to do next. Sometimes people would stop their car and ask her if she needed a ride to some place, but most just closed the door after they saw what she looked like.
Not far from where Layra was standing, also stood Titans Tower. She had heard about the Teen Titans but never had she thought that she would get to see their home in real life.
Out of no where she got hit really hard right in the shoulder , the power of what ever hit her send her flying back of the bridge, luckily her wings were already out and she flew up to see what had caused her the fall, when she got back to the bridge she could not believe what she saw. There in front of her was a pile of smashed cars, glass was every where and she could see that some things were even in fire. Right away she put her hands up and let a cold and sparkling wind come out of them, cooling the fire and then making it disappear. She looked down and saw what had hit her; it was a tire from one of the cars. Layra saw that the people still in the cars needed help so she flew over to a car that had some children in it, the mother was desperately trying to get then out crying and saying that the car was going to blow up.
"Calm down, I can help you; try to get the car door open." Layra told the woman
One of the crying children spoke "Are you an angel?"
"Yeah, some call me that." Layra answered
Then Layra heard something, well it was more like someone also trying to help the people that had gotten into the car accident.
She turned to see a girl with very nice long red hair and pretty green eyes looking at her.
"Let me help you…?" she said wondering what Layras name was.
"Uumm…" was all of what Layra could say before she was silenced by the shock of the red haired girls hand glowing up to be all green looking like it was on fire.
Oooh my god there are people like me Layra thought.
After everyone was out of the car and everyone else that had gotten into the accident were safe and getting taken home by the police, the red haired girl introduced her self properly.
"I am Starfire of Tamaran." She told Layra giving her hand a hard shake.
"These are my friends Robin, Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg."
"Hi their, were the Teen Titans." Said Robin
And that's how it all began.
