Heya guys. This is my first teen titans fanfic story. It's set between season two and three.

I ran through the crowd. My bad was full of stolen food. Now I was getting chased by the shop keeper. I had only just come to Jump city today and I was already being chased.

I'm Dove. I'm also seventeen and an orphan. Obviously dove's not my real name but I prefer Dove over my real name. my real name? you'll have to find that out for yourself.

Anyway where was I. oh yeah getting chased.

I ran into an alleyway. The sun was setting. I backed against the wall as I watched the shopkeeper run by. Phew, I hadn't been spotted by the oblivious shopkeeper. I had done this for seven years. Stealing food to survive. I couldn't work because I don't have any qualifications.

I sat down and opened my navy blue backpack that I had had since I was ten. Inside was a packet of Doritos, a baguette and two bottle of water. Below the food were my clothes. Technically I didn't steal the clothes, the were going to a charity shop and all my other clothes at the time didn't fit.

I looked at the dead-end of the alleyway and saw a child. A little boy no older than seven. He had blonde hair and brown eyes. He looked sad and hungry.

I smiled sadly, and walked up to him with the crisps, some bread and a bottle of water.

"Are you alone?" the boy nodded. "an orphan." he nodded once more.

"Here." I said, giving him the food. He looked at me confused. " I'm an orphan too." the boy hugged me and started eating the bread.

I waved at him and walked out the alleyway. It was dark now, not many people were out. Probably in their nice warm homes. While I was out feeling sad, cold and wet?

Great it was raining. Just my luck. I walked down another alleyway, my waist-long jet black hair now completely soaked.

"Stop right there." I heard a voice. Please not drunk men. Please don't let it be drunk men. I chanted in my head. I turned round and was surprised at what I saw.

Five teenagers all looking as if they were going to a fancy dress party. The tallest was male, bald, black and strangely half metal. The second tallest was a girl, red hair that reached her waist, her eyes were green, her skin was very tanned and finally she was wearing a purple and silver ensemble.

The medium size guy had pale skin, jet black spiky hair, wore a mask and was wearing a very colourful outfit very much like a superhero

The second smallest was a girl with purple hair that reached her chin, grey skin, a blue cape with a hood and a black leotard.

The smallest was a guy , probably the youngest. He had green skin and green hair, he was wearing a black and pinky-purple outfit.

"Who are you?" I asked. They looked at me surprised.

"We are the teen titans." cape guy said. I'm guessing he is the leader.

"Right. Is that some sort of club or something?" I was confused.

"No. we are superheroes and you stole food now give it back." Cape guy ordered.

"What food? I've never stolen in my life." I lied. I did not want to go with them.

"We have video evidence that it was you." wait why were they after me? Whatever happened to police?

"Doesn't this city have police?"

"Yes, but they are all on vacation"

"Oh." I turned and ran. Until a black aura captured me. I was floating in the air. The black stuff held my arms beside me.

The purple haired girl stood in front of me. Her hands were glowing the very same colour as the black that held me.

"You're coming with us." I squirmed and then kicked her right in the face, breaking her concentration. I fell to the ground and ran again.

"I've got her. You go back to the tower." I heard cape-guy say. I ran faster, until a metal thing hit me on the head. I fell down to the ground. I picked up the yellow and black metal object. How could something so small cause my head to hurt a lot?

"You're coming with me." Cape guy said. His cape and hair blowing in the breeze.

I stood up and tried to run. Cape guy grabbed my wrist and spun me around. I punched him in the face. He punched back, hitting me in the stomach. I ducked as he tried to punch me again and went straight into a cartwheel.

I smiled as I ran. Suddenly a foot collided with my ankle as I fell back to the ground. I looked up and saw cape guy smirking as he stood above me. H grabbed my wrists and handcuffed them.

He hoisted me up by the shoulders and forced me to walk. His hand were steering me in what direction I should go. After a minute of silent walking, I decided that I was not going with them. Even with handcuffs.

I kicked behind me, successful hitting him, in that place. He fell to the ground. I smirked and ran towards the outskirts of the city.

I gasped, as I rose into the air. From my neck down my body was covered in black. Not again.

I couldn't move at all. Well I could move my head but that was it.

I saw cape guy walking up to the rest of his team. He looked very annoyed.

" I told you. I had her." Yep he was definitely annoyed.

"Dude, we wouldn't have her right now. If not for Raven." Green dude said, pointing at the blue cloaked girl.

"Beast boy be quiet. How about we go back to the tower and get her checked out."

It was then I noticed my ankle was badly swollen and my breathing was uneven. I looked at the team before everything went black.

Well I hope you enjoy that first chapter. Review if you want.
