Chapter 4
Destruction Anyone?
All men fear but only a coward lets it stop him.
SCREEECCCHHHHH!!!!!
The sound seems to echo in Zephyr's ears. Looking up her eyes encounter a terrifying sight for any normal human being. Fortunately she is not a 'normal' human being and her reaction is much different. The wind around the girl picks up, slapping her hair around her face. The ceiling has turned back to its original gray and is starting to crumble on top of them. Everything screeches to a slow crawl as she looks up at the falling pieces of debris. Her eyes travel to the terrified and confused old woman trapped next to her and a decision is made.
The Titans seem to be frozen in shock or horror at what they are sure they are about to witness as they watch the huge cement debris begin to fall around the girl and the old woman.
"Starfire!" Robin's voice snaps the Tamaranian girl out of her immobility and she takes off in flight towards the collapsing part of the school.

Zephyr's midnight blue eyes stare into the resigned crystal blue eyes of her grandmother as she silently gives an apology. As though swimming through thick goo one hand rises into the air, palm facing the sky. The wind rages around the two people whipping Zephyr's hair violently into the air.

Caught in the sudden typhoon the Titans and everyone around is thrown to the ground and pulled along the asphalt, as though being shoved away from the building. Cyborg, manages to grab a light pole before getting swept away. With a quick snatch he catches Robin by the wrist, while Beast Boy (who found his way back to the fight) transforms into a tiger, digging his claws into the ground. Starfire manages to grab onto the fur on his back and hang on with a death grip. Beast Boy yowls in pain. Raven finds herself blown back and away from the heart of the wind.
"What is this?!" Cyborg yells to his leader through the howls of wind.
"I don't know!!" Robin shouts back. As suddenly as it started the wind stops, dropping everyone to the ground.
"Ow." Robin mutters as he picks himself up. Looking up Robin's domino mask widens, and his mouth drops open.
"What's the problem man?" Cyborg looks at Robin quizzically before following his gaze. His eyes widen greatly, and his jaw drops to the ground, "Wow." The other two Titans help each other up after Starfire jumps off Beast Boy's back. After muttering their apologies to each other the two dust themselves off and walk over to their dumbstruck teammates.
"What's the matter with…Dude." Beast Boy blinks a couple of times as Starfire's eyes go huge and her mouth makes an 0.
The ceiling of the building has been blown off leaving not a trace of it behind. Three of the walls have been blown to the ground where they lay in ruined heaps. Standing above a terrified old woman is the white haired girl. One arm hangs to her side, useless, while the other is thrust into the air palm facing the sky and her head thrown back, eyes wide open. She stands like that for a moment more before her arm falls limply to her side. Hunching over she stumbles a little ways away from the old woman and drops to her knees. As soon as the girl makes a move the Titans run towards her. Cyborg and Starfire stop at the side of the old lady and, using their combined strengths manage to pry the hand open.
Meanwhile Robin and Beast Boy crouch at the side of the white haired girl. Her head is bowed, hair hiding her face. Beast Boy touches her shoulder and the girl jerks. She mumbles something. Robin leans closer trying to make out the words.
"Mumble mumble alright?"
"Yeah, she'll be fine. We need to get you to the hospital." The girl weakly shakes her head 'no'.
"Not hospital, please." Despite her mumbling Robin can hear the urgency in her voice. He opens his mouth to argue when the girl lets out a groan and falls against Beast Boy. Not knowing what to do he carefully wraps his arms around her. Her head moves upward, showing her blood-covered face to the boy wonder. Her eyes are squeezed closed, but her lips are limp and still hold the faint smile that seems to be ever present there. Robin looks up into the confused and embarrassed face of Beast Boy. He shrugs, returning his eyes to the girl he looks her up and down taking in her injuries. The sleeve covering her right arm is torn to the elbow, revealing a plane silver bracelet gripping her wrist. The sound of sirens in the distance and coming closer blares through the silence that has permeated the area. The girl convulses and her eyes pop open dragging Robin's gaze up to her face. Sucking in a breath Robin stares in shock. Her eyes have changed from midnight blue to a dark oval around the now white pupil and the rest of her eye has changed to a light windy blue. She starts struggling weakly.
"Tien eun, calm yourself." The old woman shakes off the offered help and sits on her knees next to the struggling girl and the green boy who is struggling with her, "You must calm yourself." She places a gentle hand on the girls shoulder and immediately she stops wiggling and her breath slows as she goes unconscious. The old woman's eyes soften as she looks down upon her granddaughter, "She's in a lot of pain, my poor little love." The blaring of the sirens comes closer, "Please, you must not let them take her to the hospital. The consequences will be terrible." Her eyes grow pleading as she stares into the mask of the boy wonder. Robins face remains expressionless while the wheels turn in his mind. Making a decision he turns toward the little green elf and his burden.
"Beast Boy, do you think you could carry her to the T-car without being noticed?" Beast Boy thinks for a moment before nodding, "Good. Cyborg you and Raven go and intercept the police, while Star and I help this lady to the ambulance, she looks like she could use some medical attention herself." The lady smiles at him as she lets them help her to her feet.
"Thank you." She mutters barely audible in Robin's ear. He nods.
--------------------
The light of the moon casts a gentle ray into the infirmary of Titans Tower. Catching the light Zephyr's bandaged face glows, her brow twisted in an internal pain. The wind howls past the window causing it to shake. A crack appears in the glass and tendrils out with alarming speed.

CRASH!
Robin jumps out of bed instantly on the alert. He runs out of his room and sprints down the hall nearly colliding with Beast Boy.
"Did you hear that?" Beast Boy asks, still groggy from his interrupted dream.
"Yeah." They turn and together run to the main room. Entering they see the other three titans already waiting for them. Robin strides up to them, "Do we know where it came from?"
Raven turns from the monitor her face serious. "The infirmary." Starfire gasps and flies into the air and through the door before the others can even react. She arrives outside of the infirmary door in time to see it pushed open from the inside. Stopping her forward motion she looks inside. With a gasp she covers her mouth with one hand.
Seconds behind Starfire the rest of the group pause when they see her face. Turning together they look into the room as well.
"What the-?" Cyborg looks over the other's shoulders, eyes widening at the scene before him.
The room is literally being torn apart. Carried by the wind glass and metal whirl around it in a deadly cyclone, creating a nearly impassable barrier for the titans. The wind seems to be encircling the figure floating in the center of the mass, the only sign that it is even touching her shown by the flutter of her clothes and the whipping of her hair. As the titans watch helplessly, unsure about what's going on the wind dies down. As it gentles the girl is placed carefully on her feet, eyes remaining closed as though she's in a deep sleep. The wind ceases completely allowing the titans entry into what remains of their infirmary. Stepping around the debris they cautiously approach the sleeping girl, unsure of what else might happen if they waken her.
Five feet away Robin (who is in the lead) freezes, stopping everyone in their tracks. Was that an eye twitching? He cautiously begins to take another step when she lifts her head and opens her eyes. Blinking a couple of times in confusion she looks around, eyes widening as she takes in the destroyed infirmary. Hesitantly she looks up to meet the titan's wary gazes with a sheepish smile.
"Sorry."
