Hi everyone, right now I'm writing a story more as an experiment for how my writing works for other stories that I have formed in my head, this is the first one in result of that experimental story so far, and there is a second but no third, I'm getting off topic. Anyway, I don't read the Comics for Teen titans so, for any specific changes that occured only in the comics I wouldn't know about them so don't flame me for that. I've only seen the cartoon, its cheaper. Oh and one last thing, if you don't like the story, don't feel shy about telling me. But however if you want to flame me about it, all I have to say to that is, "shove it".

anyway enjoy the story.

Rouge of Darkness

Chapter 1

The Rouge

A ship silently glided above Earth, the ship, a transportation ship, for captured prisoners scheduled for either long term sentences, or execution continued its long voyage to another system byond Earth. The dark halls inside the ship only echoing with the foot steps of patrol guards.

"Man I'm bored" one of the five guards complained.

"Stop it, we have to transport the prisoner for execution, and we can't let our guard down" a second guard said.

"Who's going to go through the trouble of rescuing that nusiance?" the first continued.

"That scoundrel might not have friends, but the one's charging her for execution does however have many enemies, it would stand to reason that someone would free her just to irritate that organization." the second guard explained.

"Who in their right mind would pick a fight with that kind of group, I mean, that's almost like picking a fight with the Justice League." a third guard noted.

"Yeah, but serving justice means you get some of the worst enemies too." the second guard continued. "However what I like about this organization is they aren't afraid to kill those who disturb the peace".

"Sounds like proper justice to me" the fourth said rather unconcerned for their situation.

"I'm still bored though" the first guard continued to complain.

CLATTER!

a small clattering sound echoed from the dark hall ahead of them.

"Hey wait, what happened to the lights, all the lights are susposed to be on" the first guard said drawing an electrostick.

"No idea, maybe they burnt out" the second suggested as the rest of the guards drew their electrosticks.

step...step...step

dull sounding footsteps then began to echo throughout the hall.

"WHO'S THERE!" the second guard cried trying to get the attention of the unknown being.

Slowly a young male emerged from the dark hall ahead, his body clad completley in black clothing, black cargo pants, dark grey hiking boots, and a heavy black canvas jacket. He stood roughly 5'11" his eyes were a bloody red, and his hair was jet black. His skin was a healthy peach color, and he looked like he didn't weigh much more than 150 pounds, and couldn't have been older than 17. But what caught the guards attention most was, the confident, and fearless face that the boy was sporting.

"Looking for me?" the boy said in a calm and unconcerned voice.

"How Did You Get On Board!" the second guard demanded.

"I just walked up the ramp" the boy answered obviously beginning to play with them.

"Well, you shouldn't be here, we're going to have to hold you in confinement until further notice" the second guard said as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs.

"One last thing" the boy said holding up a hand signalling for the guard to hold on a second.

"What is it?" the second guard asked.

The boy just lowered his hand until he had all five fingers pointed at the guards, and then the boy uttered one word. "Pierce".

Long black tendrils suddenly shot out of the boys fingers and shot straight towards the five guards. The guards didn't even have enough time to flinch before the black tendrils skewered their bodies. The boy smiled and he withdrew his tendrils, upon exiting their bodies the guards began to bleed profusly, a couple dropped unconcious or dead immediately.

"The rest of you have ten seconds to call for help before you pass on" the boy said unfazed by his actions.

The second guard who managed to stay alive long enough to do so grabbed his radio. "I-in-intruder, s-second fl-floor, b-b-back, u-up now" the man managed to get out before he collapsed on the floor.

BREEP! BREEP!

An alarm signalled causing several more guards to stir in reation to their new intruder. Grabbing advanced looking assault rifles they raced down to the second floor. Upon opening the door to the second floor they saw the young boy walking towards them wearing the same look on his face.

"HALT OR WE WILL SHOOT!" the leader of the new squad declared.

"Don't care" the boy replied as he continued to walk towards the line of twenty or so guards.

"FIRE!" the squad leader cried not wasting time to reason with the boy.

BLAM!

All twenty guards fired one shot at the same time, the bullets tore through the boy's body like hot knives through a block of butter, the boy's body tore and seemed to explode in parts where the bullets exited.

"Target hit sir" one of the armed guards said.

"Good work men" the squad leader said.

"Is that all?" the boy then suddenly asked.

"WHAT!" the squad leader cried at seeing the boy continue smiling and talking back like he barely recieved a scratch. "HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!" The squad leader cried.

"Because you haven't done enough damage" the boy explained.

"FIRE!FIRE!" the squad commander cried as the squad began to empty their clips into the boy.

RATATATATATAT!

The squad finished emptying their clips into the boy, the boy was nothing more than a shredded stick of pepperoni. However the smile he wore didn't fade.

"I said you didn't do enough damage, however I never said that the bullets were doing damage to me" the boy said, as the air and ground behind the boy began to darken into a black haze. The haze seemed drawn to the boy, and then the squad then realized that the haze was becoming part of the boy repairing the damage they had done. The squad was all watching in shock as the boy's body slowly began to repair, no, reform itself as if he wasn't solid material to begin with. The squad leader quickly stumbled for his radio.

"S-S-SOMEONE, C-CALL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE!" the squad leader cried, and he only saw the boy lunge at him and his squad, black tendrils stretching from his fingers as he rushed them.

On the Bridge

"WHAT'S GOING ON!" the captain cried into the radio to the guard captain that was sent to the second floor, however all he got was several screams and cries of agony.

"What's happening on the second floor?" the co-pilot asked horrified.

"I don't know, but let's see where this intruder is going" the captain said as he turned to a screen in the centre of the control panel in front of them, and turned it on, revealing the stairway at the end of the second floor where the guards were sent. They watched momentarily as they witnessed a young boy making his way down to the third and bottom floor.

"HE'S HEADING TO THE BOTTOM FLOOR!" the co-pilot cried.

"THAT'S WHERE THE PRISONER IS!" the captain cried. "I'M CALLING THE JUSTICE LEAGUE!" the captain then made a grab for the radio.

On the Third Floor

"So this is the cellar" the boy observed a sturdy seven foot tall, five foot wide security door in front of him. "Such a flimsy piece of trash"

The boy held up one finger and a long black tendril protruded from it, and the boy then raised his finger above his head.

WHISH! WHISH!

With two strokes from the boys finger, the heavy steel door was split into two pieces as the two sided door was sliced clean off it's hinges. The boy walked into the cellar his eyes quickly adjusting to the dimly lit room as he had been walking in lighted halls up until this point. His eyes adjust and he continued in deeper into the room and quickly stopped finding himself in front of a single jail cell, inside the jail cell was a shackled Blackfire. The boy eyed her as she bore the signs of mistreatment, the cuffs digging into her skin rubbing her wrists raw. With all the clamor Blackfire apparently woke with a start to see what had entered her cellar, as the boy drew closer to her cell her eyes widened in fear and skurried to the far rear of the cell. The boy could see the fear in the girl's eyes, she must've gone through some horrifying moments to be reduced to such a state. The boy raised his finger again and swung it twice severing the tops and bottoms of the jail bars.

CLANG!

The jail bars clattered to the floor and the boy walked into the cell and approached Blackfire. Blackfire tucked herself deeper into a corner until she couldn't go further, the boy stood above her observing her. The boy then raised his finger again and swung it twice.

WHISH! WHISH!

Blackfire had held up her cuffed hands in preparation for the deathblow, however a weight was suddenly lifted off her hands and a loud clang hit the floor.

CLANG!

Blackfire looked down to see that her cuffs had been cut from her hands and clattered to the floor. Blackfire just looked at her wrists as if she had never seen them before in her life, after a few moments she turned her attention to the man infront of her. "W-who are you?" Blackfire asked trying to keep herself as composed in front of him as much as possible to spare her pride.

The boy only held out a hand towards her, with a slight smirk on his face. "I am Shadow" the boy answered.

Blackfire only turned her attention back and forth between the boy calling himself Shadow, and his hand. "What do you want?" Blackfire asked feeling herself grow a little bolder.

"What I want is minor in comparison to what I'm going to give you" Shadow answered.

"You offer me my freedom? For what in exchange?" Blackfire asked sounding distrusting.

"Only the satisfaction that I proved, that it wasn't your time to die yet" the boy answered still smiling a rather erie smile.

"So you some kind of fortune teller?" Blackfire asked.

"A fortune teller doesn't kill or destroy to make a prophecy true" Shadow answered. "I would suggest that you hurry, the Justice League might be here soon"

Blackfire quickly casting her fears and suspision aside after hearing that, quickly grabbed Shadow's hand and began to hoist herself up. However with weeks of lack of exercise, food, and mistreatment from her captors Blackfire only collapsed on her own weight. Shadow however was quick to react, catching Blackfire in mid fall. Blackfire quickly realized her situation and only looked back at Shadow with embarassment. Shadow only smiled back as he then picked Blackfire up bridal style and then muttered only one sentence.

"Dark Eruption" Shadow muttered and then everything went black.

Meanwhile just outside the transport ship

Superman was flying through space in response to the distress call they recieved from the ship, the ship was growing larger as he flew towards it, he saw sections of the hull blown open bellowing smoke and debris, the engines were on fire which in space isn't a good thing, only wondering what could have caused this Superman quickly flew closer to try and save anyone on board.

BOOM!

Suddenly the ship was engulfed in a black sphere and the base of the ship blew open, Superman only watched horrified as the ship slowly ripped apart by some kind of black explosion. Superman watched as several bits of debris accompanied by chunks of the dark energy that destroyed the ship.

'Is there anyone left alive?' superman quickly asked himself as he rushed towards the core of the eruption looking hopelessly for anyone left alive.

The next day on Earth

"STARFIRE!" an excited Robin cried looking for his friend in the large headquarters.

"I'm here" Starfire announced herself as she rounded a corner in response to Robin's yelling. "What's the matter?" Starfire asked rather dully rubbing her red eyes from the crying, she was still trying to get over her sisters charges and sentence to execution.

"Look at this" Robin said calming down a bit and handed Starfire a newspaper.

Prisoner Transport Ship Destroyed: The Criminal Blackfire Has Escaped

Finding quick excitement in this news quickly speed read the news report, her eyes growing wider the more she read. "Friend Robin, is it all true?" Starfire asked.

"In both a good and bad way, yes it is all true" Robin answered. It was good that Starfire would be able to smile again, she worried a lot for her sister. It was unfortunate that a criminal had to get away in this process, but this time maybe the Justice league would catch her and then they wouldn't have to execute Blackfire.

"How did she escape?" Starfire asked eyes glued to the pages of the paper.

"We don't know most of the evidence was destroyed in a fire and a weird explosion" Robin answered.

"But then how do they know that sister escaped?" Starfire asked.

"They never found her body, and her cuffs where cut off as well as her cell was broken open" Robin answered. "Unfortunately twenty plus guards and transportsmen were killed in the process, the confusing thing is no one knows exactly what happened, we can't even tell if Blackfire is even responsible for the destruction" Robin explained.

"Friend Robin did you say that the cuffs and the cell was "cut" open?" Starfire asked.

"Yeah that's what the justice league reported, why?" Robin asked becoming confused rather quickly, he never got a good look at anything let alone was recieving much information save the newspaper, so he couldn't use any of those famous detective skills to help anything.

"They were never melted in any way?" Starfire asked.

"No" Robin answered he was beginning to see where this was going, the bars and cuffs as stated in the newspaper where cleanly cut, Blackfire couldn't have cut herself free so cleanly thus the only way to explain this was. "Someone broke her free!" Robin exclaimed.

"MY SISTER HAS A FRIEND!" Starfire cried with joy hugging the newspaper tightly.

"Um, Starfire, I don't think that's the point here" Robin sweatdropped as he watched Starfire break to a new excitement level.

"Um, hey guys" Beastboy suddenly rounded the corner.

"Yeah what is it Beastboy?" Robin asked as Starfire's head was still so high in the clouds she couldn't even tell what was happening.

"Yeah, the Justice League is calling us via video communication, I think we should all be there" Beastboy said.

"Good call" Robin replied turning to Starfire. "As soon as I can bring her back down to earth" Robin sighed.

Ten minutes later in the conference room

"Sorry it took us so long" Robin sighed as he entered the conference room.

"No problemo, we're just getting the Justice league online" Cyborg replied as he manned the controls of the super computer.

Just as Cyborg finished with the controls, Superman and Batman appeared on the screen.

Everyone of the Justice Leagure gasped, they hadn't quite expected a call from the two of them at the same time.

"Um, Superman, Batman, what do we owe the honor of both of you calling us at the same time?" Robin asked politley.

"As I'm sure you all know by both of our appearances we have a serious problem" Batman began.

"What? No 'hi' or 'how are you doing?'" Robin grumbled bitterly at the all business attitude of the two.

"I'm sure you're aware of the criminal Blackfire's escape" Superman began, he sounded a little more tense than usual. "We are now aware of Blackfire having help in escaping"

Most of the Teen Titans were shocked to hear this news, however Starfire and Robin where already aware of the news.

"However we will proceed with reporting to the media that Blackfire escaped alone" Batman added, this seemed to surprise the others. "We believe the accomplaice didn't even really know Blackfire and just freed her to get at the organization that was responsible for her trial and execution" Batman continued. "In reporting that she escaped alone, we hope that they will stay close together so that we can catch them both at the same time, the "Light Justice Court" isn't at all pleased with the event, and want them both captured" Batman continued.

"So this is more psychological warefare now than just simply chasing a criminal" Robin remarked.

"Exactly, plus we will be sending Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Arrow, Red Tornado, and myself to Jump City" Batman said.

"WHAT!" Robin exclaimed, he hated it when Batman took over when Robin was more than capable of handling any criminal in this city.

"Don't get excited Robin, we have intel that suggests that Blackfire is hiding in Jump City, and we will arrive to take her into custody along with her helper" Superman exclaimed.

"Why? We can handle this" Robin argued.

"I'm sure you can handle Blackfire Teen Titans, however this "Dark Rouge" that helped her escape is an unknown factor, we don't know much or anything about him, and we can't risk you kids getting hurt due to our irresponsibility" Batman explained.

While the reason was fair, it didn't do much to quell Robin's anger. "Are we still able to search them out?" Robin asked hoping that Batman will at least be fair to them.

Batman and Superman only sighed. "It's your city, your responsibility, we won't stop you from searching them out, mostly because I know we can't stop you even if we said no. But however do exercise extreme caution, the one who broke Blackfire out is under no circumstances to be underestimated." Superman said as the video connection was then cut off.

Robin breathed a heavy sigh of relief, it honestly was a bit of a miracle that they managed to get the Justice League's consent to take action. Robin then turned to his group. "Alright, Teen Titans, let's get to work" And at that the Teen Titans scrambled to find out where Blackfire was hiding so that they could prove themselves to the Justice league before they even got there.

In the Middle of the City in an undisclosed location

Blackfire felt herself drift out of a deep sleep, unable to keep herself comfortable when her body was demanding food, she woke up slowly, and found herself in the middle of a small living room. The living room was well furnished and very comfortable despite belonging to someone from a lower class citizen. She pushed herself up off of the couch which she was lying on, and managed to make her way towards the room next to the one she was in. After entering it she found herself infront of a rather normal looking kitchen, everything was clean and spotless, except a small paper note on the table nearby.

Blackfire picked up the sheet of paper and read it. "Out to get groceries, there is some food and small snacks in the fridge". The note didn't even leave a name, no return time, not even a hint as to where the person who rescued her was going, this irritated her greatly to the point where she tore up the note and threw it in a nearby garbage can.

Walking over to the fridge to stop her painful hunger, she opened the fridge and found that the man must've been a good cook as he had several sets of dishes and different types of desert and dinners in different containers. Blackfire hearing her stomach growl again, decided not to pull any punches and silently vowed to empty the fridge before her rescuer got back.

Back at the Teen Titans tower

"Um, Robin remind me why we're tracking going through citizen records to see who had been out of the city when Blackfire was freed. You'd think that the helper would want to cover his tracks not make it obvious for us to find him" Beast Boy asked rather confused and irritated at what Robin was doing, deeming it a rather pointless task.

"That maybe for most people Beastboy, however this man was able to sneak aboard a secure ship and was able to make it back into the city without any suspicion being raised, he would try to hide his actions via normal life circumstances" Robin said.

"Yeah but there would be hundreds if not thousands of people who left the city how could we find that one person who would have helped Blackfire?" Beastboy asked, all the other titans seemed to hold the same question.

"Because, not everyone that returns has a sibling" Robin answered as he punched in a few words and then the search finder narrowed down to a single male. "Michael Narida, young white male, late teens, single child was reported to have left the city during the night and returned with someone he claims to be his sister" Robin read, "That's our man".

"Wait, he doesn't live that far from here" Cyborg noticed.

"Yeah, its amazing that he was able to hide so close to us and not notice, but that doesn't matter now, we're going to raid his house, everyone exercise extreme caution TITANS MOVE OUT!" Robin cried.

Meanwhile back at the house

Blackfire layed her head down on the table with a pile of plates mounted in huge stacks on the table, moaning from the bloated feeling of eating so much left Blackfire exhuasted. But her resting to wait until the digestion took place started a while ago, and Blackfire quickly began to feel life and energy quickly fill her body.

Unable to remain still for much longer she decided to roam the house and explore, if she was going to stay here until the heat died down, she would have to get to know the place. She guessed that her rescuer hadn't lived there that long, or he was extremly tidy cause there were little appliances save for a 32 inch television, a couple couches and a couple chairs, a desk here and there, wood flooring, no pictures on the wall, the table is old, and full of scratches and nicks, and the bedrooms were simple and looked rather untouched.

"What a boring house" Blackfire thought to herself, there was no life in the house, and all the furniture except the door was all cheap, Blackfire didn't care about the poor living conditions, she just felt stupid having unreasonably expected so much more out of a person who put himself in trouble to rescue her. "But" Blackfire whispered to herself, "It does seem to have a homely comfort that I guess I can get used to".

DINGDONG!

"Who could that be?" Blackfire said to herself, questions began to explode in her head if she should even try to open the door. "Eh what harm could it do?" Blackfire said, her spirits soaring after being rescued she felt so free that she couldn't predicted what would happen next. Approaching the door, Blackfire would only remember the danger she was in now that she was a fugitive.

BANG!

As Blackfire approached the door, someone smashed the door down, however thankfully Blackfire was far away enough from the door to be able to avoid the one who smashed down the door from grabbing her. She made a quick dash from the foyer to the stairway and dashed upstairs as fast as she could, fear and surprised gripping her throat and heart as the only thing that went throug her mind was to run as fast as she could. She heard the back door get smashed in making her thankful from chosing to run out the back door. Running upstairs she found herself running into the room that she woke up in and made for the window. However as she reached for the window she quickly withdrew herself as a red figure appeared outside the window.

THWACK!

"GAH!" Blackfire gasped as she felt an arm hit her across her backside and sent her into the wall nearby and next to a corner.

THUD!

Blackfire hit the ground and gasped again as she tried to get a hold of her situation. Crawling into the corner still in shock from the surprise raid on the house she was in, she found herself huddled in a slight fetal position as fear only gripped her more deeply, unable to figure out what was going on, the only thing she could tell was that Wonder Woman was standing above her looking as tall and proud as ever her stoic facial features seemed to discomfort Blackfire even further.

"Blackfire" a deep voice echoed from behind Wonder Woman. "You are under arrest for the murder of a member of the Light Justice Society, you are going to come with us" Batman continued as he alowly appeared from behind Wonder Woman.

Blackfire felt herself grow angry, not at the justice league for trying to catch her, but at what Batman said. "I-I d-didn't k-k-k-kill that m-man" Blackfire muttered trying to keep herself from breaking down.

"QUIT TRYING TO ESCAPE YOUR CRIMES, YOU WERE CONVICTED IN A COURT OF LAW FOR YOUR ACTIONS!" Wonder Woman cried not interested in hearing Blackfire's pleas.

Meanwhile outside the building

Michael was just rounding the last corner to his house, with bags of groceries in his arms. His face looking rather unconcerned about anything he's doing or anything that could possibly happen, until he gets a good look at the door of his house, where two people were standing.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD!" Michael cried as he ran up to his house observing the destruction of his doorway. "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE!" Michael cried as he yelled at the Justice League members.

"What does it look like where doing, were conducting a raid for a dangerous fugitive" Flash said to Michael.

"AND HOW DOES THAT CONCERN MY HOUSE!" Michael continued. "LET ALONE MY DOOR, THAT DOOR COST THOUSANDS!".

"I'm sorry about your door, however for harboring a criminal you too are under arrest" Flash explained.

"The hell I am" Michael's tone quickly changed at that new statement. Causing Flash and Green Arrow to become alert to Michael's change. "Pierce"

Both Green Arrow and Flash weren't prepared for what happened as two long dark sword like tendrils shot out of Michael's fingers and speared both Green Arrow and Flash through their midsections, effectivly paralyzing both Flash and Green Arrow.

"You all will pay for the damage you have done to my house" Michael said as he then dragged the tendrils through the majority of Green Arrow's and Flash's bodies as if attempting to cleave the two cleanly in half. However when the tendrils finished slicing through the two superheroes bodies, their bodies remained intact, however by the looks in their eyes they seemed to have mentally crashed and their bodies hit the pavement hard.

"Now, to finish off the rest who would vandalize the sanctity of my home" Michael said as shrouds of darkness began to whirl around him and eventually encase him. "And to rescue the ticket to my revenge" Michael said as the darkness disappated and Michael had changed to his fully clad in black figure, only this time tatto like lines etched across his face forming lines down from the middle of his eyes and across the bridge of his nose to reach beyond both cheeks. "Time for the Shadow to protect what belongs to it"

Ok that's the end of this chapter, now I'm going to continue in sequence with some of the other stories I have, mostly because I fail and only writing one story at a time. This story is meant to be a story that I'm expecting to hear good reviews from, but as everyone knows I still have much to learn, thus if there are any suggestions as to what might make the story better, feel free to say so. Anyway read and please review, and please enjoy.
