(Setting: Titans Tower, Jump City — midmorning. Most of the team is either training or relaxing when the tower’s alarm suddenly blips.)

It started with a sound — a faint hum, almost like static mixed with music. Then, a bright shimmer of golden light passed the outer windows of the tower, spiraling closer until—

Ding!

The front doors slid open.

And a girl just… walked in.

She looked radiant — hair catching the light like it held a little piece of the sun, an aura that felt warm and strange but not threatening. Her eyes were full of wonder as she took in the hall’s polished walls and the distant hum of tech.

“Helloooo?” she called out brightly, voice echoing. “Kory! Sister, are you here? I brought— well, I didn’t really bring anything, I sort of… fell."

She paused, glancing around the quiet lobby.

Somewhere above, an alarm finally went off — a polite but urgent tone followed by a computer voice.

“Unauthorized entry detected. Security lockdown engaged.”

She blinked as metal shutters started closing.
