Well…remember when I promised you I would update every day this week
Well…remember when I promised you I would update every day this week? Heh heh heh…funny story about that. You see, my mom won't let me on the computer tomorrow, so I'll just double post/update Wednesday because that's a half day at the school….
Disclaimer: No…I DO NOT own Teen Titans! Get over it!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Contrary to most people's belief, I'm not a villain. Okay, so, technically I am. But, that's beside the point. You see, like I said before, I'm from 20 years in the future. Things are very different for me there. If I don't do my homework, I get a responsibility speech from my father that lasts literally seven hours. Basically, your average day. So, as you can imagine, I don't necessarily want anyone to know who I am, because when I go to the future, well…I don't even want to think about that. It scares me.
I guess…the reason why I'm here was to try to give myself another chance. My life is….a little more than rough. Superheroes, supervillains, you name it! My whole family is one big crime fighting team. Everyone except me.
My powers, I gave up on them. I can't control them as well as I should. Well, honestly, nobody knows I have them. Well, I guess before I get too far ahead of myself, I should explain.
I was born when my parents were both 20 years old. I was born into a superhero life. Those, my mom and dad, along with their friends, were all one crime fighting team. But, who is this team? What is their name? Why, it's no other than the Teen Titans themselves.
Now, you are probably wondering who my parents were. Raven and Cyborg? Yeah right. Beast Boy and Starfire? Get real. Robin and Raven? Are you trying to make me throw up? Well, if you are, then you came close. If not, then I'll tell you the answer. They are none other then Robin, the boy wonder, (Or in that time, Nightwing, the uh….well, he doesn't come with subtitles anymore) and the beautiful Starfire, princess of Tamaran.
Let me guess…you expected that, right? Yeah, I mean, ninja stars? Brown hair? Who wouldn't guess it? Uh, pretty much everyone. Yeah, I have a sister, and she got red hair with random black streaks and emerald eyes that make any guy want to faint. She's fourteen, and I'm seventeen, but she has already gotten asked to her prom. Let me remind you…she's in eighth grade. I haven't even been asked for my first dance! Okay, I know I'm obsessing a bit, but…I'm a girl. It's my job.
So anyway, back to my story. We live in Titans Tower, no duh, and I live with the new Titans, along with their parents. The new Titans consist of Jake Logan, (A/N: For more info on the following Characters check out my story, The Adventures of Mar'i Grayson) Who is Beast Boy and Raven's son, 17, and also my secret crush. (Let me tell you…it is always best to keep things like this AWAY from Nightwing. I know.)Anyway, then there's Victor, who is 18, and Bumble Bee and Cyborg's son. He has a sister name Cassandra, who is only 9. Then, there's my over-achiever of a sister Nightstar, or, in tamaranian, Emil'iand'r. I call her Ems because it gets on her nerves. And, last and probably least, me. Nightfire, or Mar'i. I don't really care which you pick.
So, that's where the whole NF thing came from. I know, it's cheesy, but I think my original reason to tell you these things was to explain my powers. Now, my sister gets these cool powers. She can read minds, turn invisible, and see through things. And here I am, the normal human. Or, it least that's the way it was until I turned 15.
Everybody was so caught up in Nightstar and her amazing abilities, that nobody noticed when I was kidnapped by the Psions and tortured for a week. I was given super strength and the ability to fly. I can shoot lasers out of my eyes and energy blasts out of my hands. There is one other thing, though. I have the power to give my energy to other people, as in, save lives. If my mother wasn't so ready to get out of that prison, she would have it, too, but she left, and I was given this superb ability.
I used to always take my mask off, but because of the missing white, that was replaced with blue, I don't think anyone will ever see my eyes again.
Well, now I've officially bored you with my life history and pain. So, for you, I will tell you how my mom single handedly made me the laughing stock of the nation.
I was cleaning up my room, when she told me she had a surprise. I didn't really care, but I followed her downstairs, anyway. Everyone was in the lobby when she said she had found this little black book with no title, so she opened it up and found out some interesting information. She had a giant neon sign built and had it on the front of the Tower. Apparently it had been on for three hours now, and all of the news stations were outside with cameras. She told us all to close her eyes as we walked out. When we got outside, she told us to open our eyes. My face instantly lit up with horror.
"MOM! TURN THAT OFF! NOW!" I had yelled, grabbing the remote from her and turning it off. I started hyperventilating, and tried to ignore my laughing teammates. Unfortunately, I was failing.
So, I bet you want to know what was one the sign, right? Well, in big, bold neon letters, which had been up for three hours on national TV, and probably the internet, were these words:
MAR'I LOVES JAKE
The way I saw it, I had two options. Run away to Tamaran, or commit suicide. I was about to go to Tamaran, but then I remembered they had cable, too. So, I was about to commit suicide when my dad gives me 'The talk.' In front of the world. I died that day.
So, anyway, I finally got over it, but Jake never looks at me the same. My sister, Nightstar, has a crush on him, too. With me out of the way, she was sure to get him, despite the age difference. I've never really liked her, could you tell?
Did I mention Nightstar led the team?
Alright, enough rambling. I know what my real mission is. It was, is, and will be to make my life better, and to stop something that changed everyone's world forever. See, the Titans became so absorbed in all of the recognition tha tthey got, that they did deeds to get the recogntion, and not for the good feeling you get once you've done them. Unfortunately, when that happens, people tend to overlook the things that matter to them most. Sometimes I wonder if my parents even remember who I am, or just play along andf pretend they know exactly why I'm there.
I never meant to hurt anyone, but I had to get their attention. I had to show them that they have the wrong view on the line between good and evil. I need to show them that it is not the good deed that makes you good, but your reason for doing it. The lien is so faint, that my parents did not even know when they crossed it. That's why I'm here, to show them the line before they cross it completely. Before its too late.
But, that's a little hard considering I've got the Titans chasing me, and now Slade's looking for an apprentice, and…no!
It can't be…it's……
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Thought I'd leave you with a little cliffie. I decided you needed background information, so here it is. Sorry if I rambled on too much. The story is about to make an unexpected twist. I will update TAOMG on Wednesday, so, see you then!
Review and I won't send Elves with permanent markers after you in the middle of the night!
Now, tell me THAT'S not original!
