A/N This is dedicated to Zako Lord of Randomnessness and Elizabeth
Swan/Turner because they were my first and second reviewers and encouraged
me to upload the second chapter. And who knows, if you are nice to me
maybe I'll even upload the third one. =)
Disclaimer: I hate doing these, cause it's just no fair that I don't own anything from the Teen Titans. Oh look it's done.
Chapter 2: Nightmares
Audra woke up with a cry in the middle of the night. She was drenched in cold sweat and her heart was racing making her breath come quick and ragged. Suddenly the lights in her room turned on to reveal Robin standing in her doorway in a pair of black and red boxers and a white tee-shirt.
"Are you alright, I heard you scream." he said.
Audra blushed a deep crimson. "Fine, just a nightmare."
"Oh, ok well wake me up if you need me." Robin said not a bit shy. Audra nodded and lay down. As the door closed and the lights turned out she silently cursed her mind. Every time she had attacked someone the person came back in her dreams that night, worse then before. The only problem being usually her dreams came true. This time Evil Element had come back twice as strong and had rampage threw Jump City leaving death and destruction wherever he went, and finally fought the Titans, but she had woken up when he blew Robin over the edge of the roof. The cold sweat began to rise into the air and suddenly became a small downpour with thunder and lightening. A very unhappy Audra sat up and decided to go outside so she didn't ruin the Titans guest room.
Up on the roof her storm slowly faded out and she was able to look up into the night sky without being drowned. The stars shown brightly in a black velvet sky washing away Audra's worries and allowing her to feel happy and safe. The Tower was tall enough that she could see the entire city stretched out before her little lights twinkling in windows here and there, but mostly a dark city. Somewhere in the distance a buoy's bell rang as the gentle waves rocked it back and forth. A cool sea breeze gently brushed Audra's hair back calming her nerves and sweeping her off into a gentle sleep.
Robin looked all over the Tower, but Audra was no where to be found. Robin was always the first one up and had decided to check on the sleeping girl, but upon entering her room found that no one was in the rather damp area. Finally in desperation he went up to the roof where he found her asleep on her arms. The sun rise cast colors over her golden hair highlighting it and making her look like an angel, peaceful and quiet. Gently he scooped her up and carried her downstairs to her bed, but upon arrival found that it was soaking wet. With a sigh he took her over to his room and laid her down in his bed. Silently Robin slipped out of the room to dry out Audra's very wet room.
Audra however woke up not long after that and was a bit freaked out by the strange environment. The room was totally black with hints of red, green, and a single yellow R painted on the wall. From that she determined this was Robin's room, but she could not figure out why she was here. The last thing she remembered was sitting on the roof watching the stars and the gentle sway of the ocean. Audra smiled, Robin must have found her and then found her very wet bedroom, this was going to take some explaining. A curse echoed from down the hall causing Audra to get out of bed and run down the hall in her semi-damp rubber ducky pajamas. Robin stood in the middle of her room holding a vacuum and her comforter.
"Here I caused it I'll fix it." said Audra taking the two things from the boy wonder "You're not really fit for cleaning."
Robin stared at her as she quietly began to dry the room out. The girl hummed to herself as if this was an everyday normal thing to do, but it left Robin mystified.
"What I can't figure out..." he said half to himself "Is how it got so wet in here."
Audra stopped and murmured "Ah yes. Well about that, you know those scars on my hands? Well they symbolize something that happened to me as a child."
Robin looked at her almost afraid to ask "What happened?" he said wincing.
"Well my parents believe I was involved in some sort of spell, and I ended up being like Evil Element. I can control nature."
Robin had not been expecting that and the surprise registered on his face. He silence was quite uncomfortable and Audra began to fidget nervously. Robin just stood there for a minute stunned into silence. Finally he began to stutter "So you...you did....this?!?"
Audra blushed a deeper red then she had during the night and looked at the floor. "Umm yeah."
"And you have ten years of martial arts training as well?" Robin added. Audra nodded not seeing where this was going.
"I need to talk to the Titans, and then we are giving you a trial run. You may just be a Titan in three days time." Robin stated now fully recovered from the shocking discovery. Audra blanched and began to stutter disagreements.
"Oh no... You wouldn't want that... I've barely got control... I've got serious problems....I wouldn't be any good at the whole superhero thing."
"Nonsense." interrupted Robin "that's what we do. Train and fight the good fight. That's all. I'm sure we can help you out with your control problems and everything else will work out along with it."
"Alright." sighed Audra "But don't say I didn't warn you."
Robin smiled at the girl's hesitancy. He loved it when things were easy liked this, but he wondered what she meant by serious problems. As he left his face darkened and he began to brood on what problems she might have.
"I got you now!!!!! Oh you are goin' down Cy!" yelled Audra happily as she bumped Cyborg's car out of the way and passed the virtual finish line.
"I don't believe it I just got beat by a girl!!" Cyborg said in amazement "A girl."
"You bet your circuits you did, and I beat you good too!" Audra laughed. Cyborg glared at her briefly before offering a second round this time including Beastboy. Unfortunately Robin came running in at full speed.
"Titans trouble." he yelled. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
"Evil Element escaped from jail and is outside threatening to tare this place apart."
"Then let's go kick some evil butt!" yelled Cyborg "'Cause nobody...and I mean nobody messes with Titans Tower."
Everyone was in agreement but Audra. She had turned sheet white and had sat down very hard.
"Oh no no no...not again." she moaned "Not to me not now."
Robin was the first to notice her forlorn expression.
"Audra what's the matter? You not up for this?" he asked concerned.
"Yeah...you don't have to do this one, you already had a nasty experience with this wacko!" said Beastboy. He quickly shut up after various glares from Robin, Raven and Cyborg.
"No... it's not that. It's I get these visions and they're always really bad visions, nothing good about them, and they always come true, and I saw this coming and it doesn't come out good." Audra moaned more unhappy then ever before. The Titans were very quiet the only noise being the wind that was picking up outside. Robin suddenly remembered Audra's first night at the tower.
"The nightmare." he breathed "It wasn't a nightmare at all, it was a vision."
Audra just nodded looking at her shoes. Robin looked at the rest of the Titans and made a decision.
"Titans we either let him rip us apart because were afraid, or let him rip us apart because we're fighting him. Personally I'd rather be ripped apart fighting." Robin announced. Audra looked at him as did the other Titans. Raven appeared like she always did, passive and uncaring about the decision before her. Beastboy and Cyborg looked a bit pensive, and Starfire just looked hyper.
"I'm with Robin." muttered Raven breaking the silence.
"I also will join Robin in this epic battle." tittered Starfire.
"Might as well I mean there's nothing else to do." said Audra.
"I'm in." said Cyborg.
"Yeah me to." chimed in Beastboy.
Robin smiled "Then let's go kick some evil butt."
