Hello everyone this is nekotenshihime. Here is the First chapter for my story. I have to apologize for the confusing chapter numbers and/or titles. I am still trying to figure out how this uploading and updating works. Thank you for your patience.
I have to give a special thanks to my friend Hakuryuken for giving me such an encouraging review for the prologue. I hope that others will come and review. Please go easy on the flames.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any Teen Titans characters they are the product of DC Comics. I have no money so please do not sue me! The only character I own is my OC who you'll meet later on, I promise.

Chapter 1: Memories

Blackfire could not believe what had just happened early morning. The ship that is supposed to take her to another planet to be married to the slime guy; the same one she had tried to get Starfire married to has run out of fuel during the night. If it had not been for the small boom and light from the fire Blackfire never would have noticed it. She was so relieved to find her although she had been burned almost all over her body. The blonde girl hadn't said a word for hours. Blackfire is beginning to worry.

"Was I too late? Is she dead? If anything happens to her and my sister finds out I didn't help … Starfire will never speak to me again. I will be alone in the world for as long as I live. Please wake-up! Please wake-up!"

The blonde girl found lying face-down on the ground is in fact… not dead. She has passed out and will wake up in five, four, three, and two…

"Where am I? Who are you?"

"You're not dead! I don't … I mean of course I believe it! I knew you couldn't be dead. There was just no way you could be dead just now. My sister is not going to kill me. I am so happy."

The blonde girl stares dumbfounded at this strange girl who appears to be her age maybe a few years older. Her long black hair whips around her face and neck as a gentle breeze flows from behind. The blonde girl cannot help but notice the sliver colored shackles on her wrists. The blonde thinks; "Is she a run-away from home, where ever that is or is in with the wrong crowd? Will I get a straight answer out of her sometime today"?

The black haired girl stares back at the blonde a mixed look of wonder, surprise and an out-of-place joy on her face. She sits next to the blonde as she flinches away. The black-haired girl gives a puzzled glance at the sliver suit the other is wearing, now covered in what looks like soot and dirt. After a brief and uncomfortable staring match the black-haired girl introduces herself hoping to ease the tension in the air thicker than an icy mist or split-pea soup.

"Well to answer your question my name is Blackfire. I must say I am so glad I snuck out before sunrise to explore and get some fresh air. You cannot imagine how stuffy it can get in that blasted ship of theirs. I guess you're wondering who 'they' are. In order to do that I have to give you some background story. Before I do that mind telling me (she pauses as if for dramatic effect and shouts) why in the world were you trying to kill yourself?"

The blonde didn't think one girl or one speech could confuse her so much. Her attempts to understand were hindered by her major headache. She takes a deep breath and decides to interrupt the other's rant.

"I don't know about any space ships, or shackles, or aliens. Heck! I don't even remember my own name! I don't know about any dude named Slade or who in the world are the Teen Titans! So please wait and slow down. Facts Beginning Middle End. Tell me what is going on."

Blackfire sighs again after catching her breath. Instead of answering right away she gazes at the canyon bathed in sunlight that reminds her of fire. The girl gets impatient and is about to ask her again when Blackfire looks at her again. The look of sincerity and sympathy on her face, as if she was begging for forgiveness with her whole body and spirit, quiets the blonde's questions.

"Believe me if I could go back in time and change what went wrong in both our lives I would but I can't. I know the word 'difficult' does not even come close to what's happening right now. I can't sympathize with everything but I want to promise you something. If by the end of my explanation you still want to run away and never see me again then I will respect that. I have to ask you to hang in there with me until I get to the end. Can you stick with me until I set things right with my sister please?"

The blonde tries to understand the depth of her unusual companion's emotions. Her need for forgiveness from a sister she had with all probability wronged in the past. How she could help this strange girl when she did not know who she was. The blonde feels this is turning into a 'fool's errand' she had no idea how to help Blackfire settle things with her sister. However, despite all of the evidence that would suggest she leave her alone to deal with her own problems she could not turn away.

"All right Blackfire is it? I'll try my best to keep up with what you are about to dump on my poor overloaded brain."

"I will try to remember that you have no memories right now." Blackfire gives a playful smirk.

"Okay then can you answer a question for me? Who is your sister? Do… I mean did I know her?" The blonde girl scratches her head in confusion.

Blackfire laughs at the other girl's expression. She looks like she was chasing a greased pig through a mud pit and then she had to get a burning cake out of an oven and got scorched.

"I did not mean to laugh. Based on the stories I've heard of you, this is not your usual look. As far as my sister is concerned you could say that you know. On second thought it would be better to show you" Blackfire smiles at her.

"Do you mind telling me where we're going? What does your sister have to do with me? And why are you wearing those weird wrist bands?" Terra asks fiddling with her hands.

"You know for someone who's lost her memories, you sure talk a lot. We have numerous things on our agenda today. First on the menu is to search out some familiar territory, you know landmarks, people, etc. I have to warn you though you won't like… everything I have to say…"

Blackfire pauses and whispers a name, "Terra."
