Yay! New and improved chapter! I actually just wrote this and am proud of how it turned out!

Chapter 2: Awakening

"Robin. You have to eat or something!" Cyborg complained, watching the restless Boy Wonder. It had been two days since they brought the strange girl in to take care of her. Robin wouldn't leave her side at all, as if he was stuck to her like glue.

Robin shook his head, scratching his chin, which had begun to grow a little stubble from not shaving. "It's been almost three days, why won't she wake up?" He asked. The girl was closely monitored, fluids flowing into her body and wires and tubes everywhere. She seemed to be healthy.

"She probably needs some time to recover. I mean, you saw that dragon, Robin. It was huge; at least that's what you said." Beast Boy told him, leaning in the doorway of the infirmary. Raven appeared over Beast Boy's shoulder, walking into the room.

"Still. She shouldn't still be asleep. You have to wake up sometime." Robin grumbled, watching the girl's peaceful state.

"Mentor please!" She called out, looking around, soaked to the bone and freezing, trying to stay standing up. Her mentor stood there, watching her in the shadows as she tried to keep herself alive.

"You have to face your own challenges, my student. Sooner or later, you must grow up." He said, standing there. Something exploded near her, sending the girl backwards. She cried out, tumbling and grabbing a hold just as she fell over a random appearing cliff. She yelped, trying to get a grip on the ever slippery rocks, not wanting to fall into the black abyss under her.

"Some things I can't do myself, Mentor. Please, help me!" She screamed. The man looked at her, before looking down.

"You will never learn unless you're thrown into the challenges yourself. I am sorry, I must leave." He said, turning around. He sighed, and began to walk away.

"No please!" She screamed, just as she lost her grip. She screamed as she fell, not seeing anything but blackness.

"Come on, Robin. I'll stay with her. Go get something to eat and relax. I'll call if she wakes." Cyborg said, looking at him. Robin shook his head.

"I'm not leaving until she moves." He said, a little irritated at his friends right at the moment. Raven walked over and inhaled, before grabbing at her nose and waving her hand.

"At least take a shower, because dude, you reek." She said. Robin glared at Raven, before sighing and standing up.

"Fine. I'll go take a shower. If it'll make you. . ." Robin started, about to walk out.

"Robin!" Robin spun around to Beast Boy, who was looking down at the girl. She had grimaced, moving a little, before suddenly shrieking, sending Beast Boy backwards. She was sitting straight up, eyes open, and breathing heavily.

She looked around, sweat beading her forehead. Her right hand clutched the blanket, and looked around at the brilliant whiteness. Her eyes grew used to the light, before she noticed people around her. She whimpered.

"Easy. It's alright. We're not going to hurt you." Cyborg coaxed. She gulped, looking at the half machine, half man. He smiled as she slowly began to relax.

"You're. . .you're not going to turn me in. . .are you?" She asked, biting her lip. Her voice was weak and fearful. Beast Boy stood up, rubbing his forehead.

"Of course not! I mean. . .even if we knew who we were turning you in to. . .we wouldn't. . .unless you were bad or something. . .then. . ." Beast Boy kept stuttering. Raven rolled her eyes and walked over to the girl.

"It's alright, Beast Boy's a little. . .crazy." She said, touching the girl's shoulder. The girl looked at her.

"We won't turn you in. I'm Raven, the green guy's Beast Boy. The robot guy is Cyborg, and the boy in the mask is Robin. We're the Teen Titans." She said. The Titan boys looked at her. Was Raven actually being nice? Raven looked at them. "What?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. Robin shook himself out of his trance and walked over to her.

"I found you being attacked by some dragon. You destroyed it easily. Do you remember?" He asked, being as gentle as he could. The girl nodded, and Robin finally got a glimpse of her eyes; a brilliant purple, dark and gentle almost. He almost already got lost in them.

"I remember seeing you as I was trying to get back up. Thank you." She said softly. Robin smiled, nodding.

"I'm Phoenix." She stated. Beast Boy looked at her. "The fire bird? Awesome! Cool name!" He exclaimed. Phoenix giggled, pushing her muddy hair from her face, before looking at it.

"Um . . . do you have a bathroom anywhere? I want to go wash off." She asked, already getting more relaxed with them. Robin nodded.

"Sure. Raven, can you show her and give her some extra clothes? We'd like to know more about you if it's okay Phoenix, after you shower, of course." He explained. Phoenix smiled and nodded. "Okay." She said, watching Cyborg as he took all the wire and needles from her body. Raven helped her off the bed and smiled. She was a little wobbly at first, but was able to get her footing quickly.

"Come on Phoenix. This way." Raven said, leading the girl. Phoenix glanced back at the boys, smiling a little. The boys watched her leave. As soon as they knew she was down the hallway, Beast Boy smirked.

"Dude! She's hot!" He said. Cyborg laughed and Robin just rolled his eyes.

"Okay grass stain, let's go." Cy said, pushing BB out of his trance.

"What? She is!" He said, as they walked out. Robin sighed.

"Yeah, she sure is." He said. Cyborg and BB stopped, looking at him. After a moment, Robin noticed they were still staring at him.

"Uh. . . I mean. . " He stuttered, then glared at Cy and BB. "This NEVER leaves this room!" He demanded. The guys laughed, as they walked out with a red Robin.

Raven looked through all of her old clothes. So far, she had found nothing that would look good or fit on Phoenix. Raven didn't know why, but she was growing on the girl. Usually she would have distanced herself from strangers in her home, but for some reason, Phoenix felt at home here.

"Much better!" Raven looked up to see Phoenix walking out, a towel wrapped around her lean body and another towel holding her hair up. Raven smirked. Phoenix held her dirty and torn clothes in her hands.

"Uh. . .where do you want these?" She said, looking around the empty room used for storage, then holding her clothes out.

"Just put them in the hall. We do laundry every night, so we'll get them." Raven explained. Phoenix went and put them in the hall, before walking back in the room.

"This is. . . your room?" She asked. Raven shook her head. "Just storage." She said. She pulled out a black poufy dress. It was the yellow dress from when mother Mae-Eye was here. She trembled, before shaking her head, laughing a little.

"I guess this will have to work. It was yellow, I dyed it black though. Long story about this dress." She said, tossing it to Phoenix. She caught it one handed and smiled, before looking at it.

"We just might have to take you shopping. . .if you stay that is." Raven added. Phoenix frowned, looking around the room. She spotted a pair of scissors and grabbed them, sitting on an extra chair and began snipping at the dress.

"I would like to. I don't want to overstay here, though. I don't belong with you guys. I don't want to crowd." Phoenix told Raven as she finished cutting up the dress. Raven shrugged.

"It'll be alright." She said, tossing Phoenix some undergarments. Phoenix smiled, and threw the towel aside, putting on her new clothes. She took the towel from her head and grabbed an extra brush, running it through her drying hair, and making it straight. Phoenix found a stray black headband and put it in her brown hair, fixing her bangs around the marks on her forehead.

Raven bit her lip. "I know what those are." She said, motioning to the marks. Phoenix stopped, looking at Raven. Raven nodded.

Phoenix frowned. "Great. I guess I'll be leaving." She said. Raven looked at her.

"You don't have to. I'll protect you. No one will have to know." She said. Phoenix smiled. "You will?" She asked. Raven nodded.

"Thank you, Raven." She said, before finding one last accessory to her new outfit. "Let's go down to the guys." She added. Raven laughed a little, thinking about how the boys would react as they headed down.

Back in the main room, Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing games, while Robin sat and looked at the computer, looking through old files.

"Ahem!" The boys looked up at Raven, who was, sort of, smiling.

"May I introduce, the new and improved, Phoenix." She said, stepping to the side. Phoenix stepped in, smiling. She had turned the dress into a spaghetti strapped, tight, short dress. Her brown hair cascaded down her back, a black headband decorating it. A blue sash tied around her waist, and black sandals finished the outfit.

Robin's mouth dropped. He hadn't seen anyone so beautiful since. . .everyone knew. Her figure was perfect, everywhere. He gulped air and smacked Cy and BB in the back of the head before walking over to Phoenix, who was beginning to blush and look away.

"You look. . .good. Come on." He said, offering her his hand. Phoenix looked at him, and then down at his hand, shocked by all the hospitality. She took it, smiling. Robin was shocked for a minute. Sparks ran through his body, from his head to feet when he touched her. She smiled, still blushing. Robin smiled and led her over to the couch, letting her sit down.

"I want to thank you for all the hospitality you're giving to me." She said, playing with her hair.

"It's fine. So . . .if we can ask. . ." He started.

"I'm from a planet called Freyard. It's covered in mostly water, and far from Earth. It is near Tamereanean." She said.

"Starfire's planet?" BB asked. Phoenix looked at him. "You mean the Queen?" She asked. Robin and the other's nodded.

"She used to be a Titan, but she had to go back to her planet to become Queen." Raven explained. Something hard hit Robin in the gut when Starfire's name was spoken. He still missed her, but he couldn't show that now.

"Wow. I didn't know that. I ran away from my home. . . because of my past. I didn't want to go back, so I thought it would be okay to live here." She explained, then bit her lip.

"Unfortunately, I didn't know that one of the monsters would follow me. They're the king's guards. Someone must have told my parents I had left, and they came after me. But thanks to you, Robin, you saved me, and now I don't have to go back home." She finished. Robin blushed.

"It was no trouble." He said, scratching the back of his neck. Phoenix giggled, pushing her hair from her face.

"So. Since you're an alien girl, do you have any . . .powers?" BB asked. Phoenix looked at him, and nodded.

"I'm an elemental. I can use the elements. I am also a changling, including mythical creatures." She said.

"Sweet! I'm a changling too!" BB exclaimed. Phoenix laughed.

"I also have starbolts, and more powers, but I don't know what they are though." She said, looking at the ground, remembering one of hers. Raven looked at her, giving her a smile.

"What can you guys do?" She asked. Raven smiled.

"I can summon the power of darkness." She said.

"You know what I am." Cyborg added.

"I just use my own skills." Robin shrugged. Phoenix grinned, and yawned.

"I hope I am not intruding on anything. I didn't want to be taking over your house all day." She apologized. Robin stopped her.

"You can stay here as long as you like." He said. Phoenix grinned. "Oh thank you!" She exclaimed.

This was going to be the start of a new saga.
