Hello guys, and welcome to my fanfic Fear Within. It's supposed to be a crossover between Teen titans and Batman. Raven and Beastboy are the main characters in this story against the villains Scarecrow and Slade. Batman and the rest of the Titans will of course be in this story too.
I hope you will enjoy this. Put a review when you are done if you feel like it. Cheers!
Let me tell you about the day when the Teen Titans turned to be four members instead of five. Let me tell you about the day when the great Batman, the legend everyone knows about, needed help from four teenagers. Let me tell you about the day when Gotham was going to be destroyed by the Fear Toxin. Let me tell you about the day when I got a new recruit that everyone was going to fear …
Raven
"Yo, Rae! Wanna play stankball with us?" Beastboy asked with a goofy smile on his green face.
Raven took a deep breath while she sat under the tree with her eyes closed, her legs crossed and tried to have a peaceful mind while she meditated. But opened her eyes to look at Beastboy who stood beside Cyborg, and when she looked around she saw Robin sit with Starfire on a pink blanket talking and eating.
"No. You will be uneven in that case." She closed her eyes again and sighed." And honestly …"
A scream interrupted Raven and the Titans stop doing what they did and ran towards the street where a group of people screamed and pointed at a bus that someone lifted and threw to the group of people. Raven showed up in front of the group with a black barrier and grunted when the bus hit her barrier.
"You guys okay?" Robin asked the people behind her and Raven turned around to see who threw the bus.
Mammoth showed up and beside him Gizmo walked up with an evil grin. Jinx jumped over Gizmo, so she stood in front of Raven but on the other side of the barrier.
"What's the matter? Afraid of little bad luck?" she grinned and Raven saw See-More and Billy Numerous show up behind Jinx.
"We aren't afraid of you, Jinx!" Beastboy shouted beside Raven who looked around for the sixth member in H.I.V.E. Five but couldn't see him anywhere.
"Where is Slade?" Robin shouted angrily.
"Wouldn't you want to know?" Gizmo grinned and poked Ravens barrier but jumped back with a scream when it moved.
Raven grunted when someone hit her head and the barrier was gone at the same time she rolled on to her back and saw Kyd Wykkyd stand in front of her before he disappeared when Beastboy attacked him.
"You okay?" he asked Raven and helped her up before turning against the H.I.V.E. Five who stood and looked at the Titans.
"Someone should put a bell on that guy or something", Cyborg muttered and threw a lamppost at the gang, but Jinx turned it to two pieces instead.
"Well, well. It looks like the Titans got some bad luck on their hands", she smiled, and Raven jumped back from one of Jinx attacks.
"Azarth Metrion Zinthos!" Raven whispered for herself as she was in the air and got the bus up in the air surrounded by a black aura that she threw at Jinx who did a flip backwards.
Raven disappeared under ground and went up behind Jinx and hit her head with her foot, before jumping away so Jinx couldn't counterattack.
"Just surrender. You know this will only ends in one way: You guys in jail, again, for the fourth time", Raven sighed and protected herself against one of Jinx attacks.
"About that! How do you guys break out of jail all the time?" Beastboy cried and turned into an elephant who attacked Mammoth.
"Hehe, why say it to you guys? You will just stop us" Gizmo grinned and jumped at Cyborg's back but Robin saved him fast from being hacked.
"It's Slade. He is the one saving your asses from jail all the time", Robin muttered angrily and threw See-More against a wall before he jumped out of the way from Kyd Wykkydd.
"Well, he may help us out of jail … But how are you going to stop us when you don't even know where he is or what he is planning?" Jinx smiled and jumped into the air to disappear.
Raven stopped in her actions and looked around, like the other Titans did too. The H.I.V.E. Five was gone and they stood there alone in the dust, confused.
"Okay … What did just happen?" Beastboy asked.
"I don't know. They are planning something. Let's go to the tower." Robin ordered and went to his motorcycle while the others went to the T-car.
"Nothing on the sensors for now", Robin said for himself while the others sat on the sofa, still confused about what happened.
"Whatever happened, we need to be cautious." Starfire said and flew over to Robin who still searched around on the computer after answers.
"Well, we are here. Unharmed. What's the worst thing that could happen?" Beastboy smiled and laid an arm around Raven's shoulders while she sat and read a book.
The alarm started beeping in the room and Raven closed the book, looked annoyed at Beastboy. "You just had to say something."
"Whaat?"
"Slade." Robin muttered angrily and turned around to the group. "Titans, move out! We can't let him get away!"
The Titans moved out to the mountains where the computers had said Slade where, but no one was there.
"You sure it wasn't a glitch in the system, Robin?" Cyborg asked with a confused face. "I mean, we are having problems with the system back at the tower and I still have to fix it."
"No, he is here. I know he is", Robin said and shook his head, "Slade! Come out, your coward!" he shouted, and the echo shouted back to them.
"No one is here, Robin …" Starfire whispered.
Raven looked around, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She felt a presence of someone, but he wasn't near nor far away. It was confusing for her and she took a deeper breath, ready to go deeper in the second world – to find anyone who was presence and where exactly.
"Raven, do you find someone?" She heard Robin asked but she didn't answer.
Yes, someone was here but she couldn't find out where. Her soul slid around at the rocks, through the rocks to see if someone was there, into caves but nothing. The only presence she could find was her and her group. No one else. She was just about to open her eyes when everything went dark. She was alone, no one was there anymore.
"Garfield? Robin?"
She opened her eyes and looked around but saw only dust moving around. She couldn't sense any presence at all, not even herself which made her confused. What was going on? She moved carefully around, looking around but couldn't see her friends anywhere. Not even footsteps from them.
"Gar, are you here? If this is a bad prank of yours, it is NOT funny."
She took a deep breath to calm herself and heard a whisper around her that made her turn around with her hands glowing.
"Who's there? Come out!"
Nothing. What did she expect? Raven started to walk to the place where she knew the T-car was parked but the car wasn't there. Where she really at the right place? She couldn't even see the track of the wheels. She sat down on a rock in the heating sun and closed her eyes again. Something happened when she entered the zone of the second world the first time and she had to fix it. Remain calm, Raven … She looked around but couldn't sense any presence at all. But someone shouted her name.
"Gar?" she shouted back when she realized who's voice it was.
She ran towards the voice and looked around when it seemed closer but also far away. Raven shook her head and started walking just to her someone else, a whisper again.
"You cannot find your friends, Raven. Wake up …"
She gasped and starred around just to see she was inside the back of a truck, with chains around her wrists and body. There where cartons around her full of skulls and skeletons hand, but no one else was there. Carefully she rose with the help of the wall and saw a small window into the driver where she saw Slade sit.
"Slade." She muttered and met his eye in the back mirror.
"Good morning, sunshine. You were out long, but fear not. We are soon at our destination."
"Where is Beastboy? Where is the others? Where am I? Where are you taking me?" She snapped and tried to use her powers to come out from the chains but screamed when the chains got powered up from some electricity, so she fell down at her knees.
"Don't worry, your friends are where you left them. And the electricity won't kill you. He would kill me then, and I prefer to live", she heard Slade talk while she grasped for air.
He? Who did he talk about?
"Where are we headed?"
She rose up again with the help of the wall and looked out from a single window. The mountains where long gone and when she looked at Slade she also saw the view in front of him.
"Gotham … Why are we in Gotham?" She asked, chocked and slammed her hands at the window.
Slade shook his head and sat a finger over his mask, where the mouth should be.
"Now, now. Your answers will be answered soon by Him."
Raven sat down at the floor and looked at the chains, tried to find a way to get them off her, but remembered the pain from the electricity and gave up the idea when the car suddenly stopped. She cried out of pain when she flew into the metal wall and looked at the doors that opened by Slade who went inside and drug her up to her feet.
"Now, don't call me Slade. My name is Deathstroke, got it?"
Raven nodded and looked around. They were outside some old courthouse she didn't recognize. They started to walk when she heard a laugh that made her shiver into her spine.
"So, this is the one you told me about, Deathstroke?" someone asked, with a voice like the person was in the air but also was in front of them.
"Yes, sir. Her powers … You would be amazed of her powers. And Batman doesn't even have a chance against us then."
Batman? The Batman? The one who trained Robin? She took a nervous breath and looked around after the owner of the voice.
"Well then, take her into the chamber so we can put her into a test. If she is not what you told me, then you can go and find another, and she will get killed."
