The TV in the lounge was on the news station. This was one of the few stations it played other than the cooking channel and sometimes one of the cartoon channels. Other than that, it was always on a video game. Lucky had learned that within the last few days that she's been here. She was leaning against the couch watching the weather report and eating a small salad. Her long pink hair was in a low ponytail and she had on a simple black dress that reached her knees.
Within the last few days she had also learned a lot about her new room mates. Robin, or Richard Grayson was leader of the three man squad that protected Jump City, he used to train under Batman when he was younger, having said that he doesn't actually have any powers.
Kori, or Starfire, was from a planet called Tamarian. She's fun to talk to but she doesn't understand things well and sometimes she says things in a way they aren't supposed to be said. She is the second member of the Titans.
Victor Stone is Cyborg. He was in an accident a while back and the only way to save him was to give him artificial parts. He was the last member of the Titans and usually did all the technical work.
Rachel Roth is known as Raven, she was a student over in Justice School ran by the Justice League to help super beings control their powers. In Lucky's opinion Raven was the most sane one here and essayist to talk to. That might just be because of the fact that Raven was the one who overseen hers and Garfield's recovery.
Wallace West, or Wally as he's been making everyone call him, is the nephew of the Flash. He recreated the accident that gave the Flash his powers and ended up getting super speed just like his uncle.
At the moment, Raven, Cyborg and Garfield were down in a personally made training ground for Garfield. It took Cyborg a total of two hours to craft and create. No one other than the three of them were aloud in that room until Garfield managed to get the Beast under control.
Star and Robin were off fighting some villain in the city, and Wally was who knows where. To put it in simple terms, Lucky was bored. The weather (sunny all day with slight cloud coverage) changed over to the daily city reports. On the camera you could see Starfire and Robin fighting with a villain that had a magic wand and a top hat. He looked silly in her opinion. After finishing her salad she put the dish in the sink and noticed the large pile of dishes that had appeared since she made her salad. "Wally!"
"Yes?" He was next to her, she jumped still not used to his sudden appearances.
"Clean, now." She ordered with a dangerous pink glow in her eyes. He backed up slightly and started working. Within moments the dishes were done and put away. Wally rubbed the back of his head her glare still focused on him.
"Sorry?" That was all he could think to say. The TV screen switched to an urgent update, images of the Justice League's science department lit up in flames filtered the screen.
"This just in, in an explosion that ended more than twenty scientists lives. The Justice League has found the culprit. On trial is a young Super Villains that will only give her name T. At last report no information on who had died had been found. Now the names are up." The news anchor listed off name after name. Garfield and Cyborg had walked into the room just as the broadcast started. "Mark Logan, Mary Logan," the room grew cold as the names were spoken. Lucky dropped the glass she had just filled with water, it shattered on the ground. Garfield was paralyzed to the spot.
The names ended and the show continued with its update on sports.
Nobody moved, nothing was said. What could be said, Lucky couldn't think of anything. She had just found out her parents had died only days after leaving to live in a new city. Her mind was numb, this couldn't be true, her luck wasn't that bad. Was it?
Tears were streaming down her face, she had been too preoccupied with her thoughts that when she finally noticed, the wet droplets splashed in the puddle at her feet. The sound seemed to echo though out the world to her. The TV shut off getting her to look up. Raven stood in the doorway, she was always wearing the same outfit, jeans and a turtleneck. Anger flared, how could she just stand there acting as if nothing in the world mattered to her? She must've seen the broadcast, doesn't she have any sympathy?
Electricity zapped my fingers, the energy that causes others misfortune. "Cyborg, get him back in the training room." That was all she had to say? He's trembling, he doesn't need to train any more. He needs... he needs to be comforted he needs someone to tell him it will be okay. A pink spark ran through the door causing it to malfunction and slam shut, locking us all in the room. Raven narrowed her eyes at me.
"Control your emotions Lucky." She hissed. Their magic worked the same way, through emotions. If their emotions aren't completely under control, things can get ugly. But how can she expect her, to not let her anger slip out when she's the one making it harder and harder to concentrate? How can she not feel the pain their feeling from learning about her parents deaths? "Do you want to put us all in danger?"
"Danger?" Lucky's voice was a shriek. "You emotionless witch!" The sound of glass smashing broke through to her.
"No," Garfield was in a state, practically curled in a ball struggling with himself. Fighting to stay himself. "She's not... she's trying to help... us." He was trying to change his sisters opinion of the girl he came to respect greatly over the last few days. The pain in his voice nearly made Lucky break down again. She hadn't thought of him, not in the least bit. Only herself. She had forgotten that Garfield was struggling harder with this new life than she was. He had a Beast inside of him, taking every chance to escape that it could. While she sat around reading and peacefully spending her last few days learning what she could do, he's been spending his time learning what he couldn't do, what he needs to look out for. Trying to tame his inner beast. What was she compared to him?
Garfield was on his knees, his head pressed against the ground being forced down by his arms. His breathing was heaver than it had been moments before. The struggle to keep control of his body wasn't doing any good for him. Cyborg blasted down the door, making a mental note to fix it when things settle down. Wally picked the struggling boy and sprinted him down to the training room as quickly as he could without upsetting Garfield's condition. Cyborg followed after leaving Raven and Lucky alone. "What are you going to do now." The statement brought Lucky's anger back. The two girls stared at each other. Raven was serious, Lucky could tell. Weather it be out of concern or curiosity it didn't matter. What was she going to do now?
Surely she could stay. But what tie did she have here anymore, her brother? No it would be safer for him if she left. Her parents had made her promise to stay here, but they were dead now. Any trust she had for Raven was gone after the stunt she pulled a few minutes ago and the others didn't no her that well. Staying felt like the wrong choice. If she left now, while everyone was preoccupied not including Raven, who would surely go to supervise her brothers condition any minute now. If she left now, she would have a chance at leaving, it was unlikely another chance would come.
She started walking, not answering the question Raven had given her. The girl didn't stop her, not when she turned towards the stairs instead of towards her room. Not when she made it to the underground path leading to the city, she wasn't able to drive yet and there was little chance she would be able to swim over the bay. Lucky found herself running, getting as far away from the Titans as fast as she could. There was always risk that Wally would catch up to her and bring her back, but she doubted that he was leaving the chamber any time soon.
Robin and Starfire were still off fighting crime so it was unlikely she would meet up with them. Running through the streets of Jump City, didn't attract a lot of attention as she thought she would've. She was just a teenage girl running, maybe a lot of kids did that. She wasn't sure. By the time she stopped running she was on the outskirts of town. A man stood before her watching her as if she was an amusing pet. "Lost?" He asked. Lucky's eyes sparked. "Ah, a run away power holder." The amusement in his voice was ticking her off. He offered her his hand. "I can help you with controlling those."
She glared at him, who does this guy think he is? "Bug off." She spat, he chuckled. His eyes started glowing and soon after the girl lay uncontentious on the ground. A black car drove over, the driver stepping out and getting the door for the man before picking up Lucky and placing her in the back seat.
The next time her eyes opened, there was little she remembered about who she was. There was a few things she could recall, the faces of a few people. A boy Garfield and a girl... a hero girl Rachel Roth.
