A Change of Heart
Chapter 1
Downfall
It was an awfully tiring December for the Teen Titans. Almost half a month has passed since they learned of Slade's dangerous new super weapon, a weather controlling device, and his threat of using it to cause mayhem. Since then, Slade has managed to lead them in a wild goose chase across the globe. Finally pinning down his exact location, the T-ship cruised above the desolate northern wilderness.
"Damn!" Cyborg exclaimed. "Where'd this snowstorm come from? Whole thing's messin' up my radar!"
"It must be Slade," Robin said, eyes narrowing. "He must be using that weather controlling device of his to whip up this blizzard."
"This is crazy," Beast Boy remarked, eyeing his radar screen. "The bad dude has managed to lead us in circles across the globe! Are you even sure he's here?"
"This isn't a natural phenomenon Beast Boy," Robin replied. "The forecast this morning showed no signs of this kind of weather."
"Dude, look at my eyes! They're drooping!" Beast Boy complained, emphasizing his eye bags. "I've been missing my beauty sleep and I'm pooped! I'm so gonna kick Slade's butt for this…"
"We have all been missing the sleep for this whole month now," Starfire said with a yawn. "Besides, I wish to do the getting over with so that we can head home and see Silkie."
"Let's just get this done," Raven said dryly. "Complaining is pointless."
"Raven's right," Robin interjected. "We have to keep moving."
"But how're we gonna find him in this weather?" Cyborg asked. "The radar's almost completely jammed, and…"
TSEEEWW!
A bright red light sailed through the air, narrowly missing the T-ship's left wing.
"You were saying?" Raven asked sarcastically. Cyborg shot her a scowl through the monitor.
"Alright, this is it team," Robin called out. "Titans GO!"
As the T-ship tried to close in on their target, the Titans failed to notice that the first attack, although it was dodged, managed to singe a part of the left wing. Their attacker seemed to notice this, and began to focus his fire on it.
BOOM!
"I'm hit!" Raven exclaimed. "My controls are fried, I can't…"
BOOM!
"AHHHhhhh!" Raven's face disappeared from all of their display screens. From the hull, Robin could see the mess that the lasers had created.
"Raven!" Robin yelled. "She can't take another hit! Titans! We need to separate!"
"I don't think that's a good idea, man," Cyborg said. "Maybe we should…"
"Just do it, now!" Robin snapped.
The T-ship quickly dismantled into five separate ships, one of which was badly damaged. Their attacker found this a good opportunity to strike again, only this time, Robin used his ship as a shield to protect the worn down left wing. The blast hit his engine directly and fried it.
"ROBIN!" Starfire screamed. "RAVEN!"
It was no use. The two ships hurtled down towards the desolate winter wilderness below, leaving trails of smoke in its wake.
A/N: And that was the first chapter... Please feel free to send your reviews. The next chapters await...
P.S.: To all the readers who hate the RxR pairing, I humbly ask you to please respect my work, because I sure do respect the work of other pairings. Thanks. Peace out. V
