are abducted by her alien captors, they accidentally destroy Audrey's simulated world. Audrey is horrified to find her life a lie. Her hybrid "siblings" took the poor girl in after they escaped the H'San Natal. The four teens join with the recently de-aged Atom to form the new Teen Titans. Because of her glass-like skin and ability to control light, Audrey assumes the codename "Prysm".
As a Teen Titan, Prysm felt like she actually had a family again, but when Isaiah (then called Joto) "dies", the team is disbanded. Looking for a kindred spirit, Prysm seeks out Supergirl
in Leesburg. There she encounters a lonely creature known as Fringe and the two form a friendship. Later, Toni (known as Argent) re-forms the Titans. When the team goes on a space mission, Prysm encounters her father, a glass-like humanoid known as Ch'ah, and her mother Miraset. When the team returns to Earth, Prysm (along with Fringe) stays with her family. She is returned to Earth when Cyborg
