They began as outcasts; they became Outlaws. Over the last few years, Red Hood, Arsenal, and Starfire have survived encounters with all types of evil, forging bonds that have held them together as a team, and as friends.

And what she finds within herself is a burning rage long suppressed, a fire that can no longer be contained.
