Disclaimer: Okay, everyone. You know the drill. I don't own Teen Titans,
because if I did, I'd get Robin and Raven together. So don't sue me!
Okay, this is my second fic. I read the reviews and suggestions of the good people who read my first fic and hopefully this time I have something more interesting and complex. Please read and review! Flames are warmly accepted (no pun intended).
Chapter 1: Sleep Interrupted
The sound of a blaring alarm woke all the Titans from the slumber they were enjoying. Robin whimpered as he looked at his clock. Only 3:10 AM. Grumpily, everyone quickly dressed into their uniforms and met in the living room to asses the situation.
"Alright, everybody," Robin said, still yawning. "According to this, uh...HIVE just broke into a jewelry store in the mall and the downtown bank. Plasmus knocked off the jewelry store, and Jinx and Cinderblock broke into the bank and are heading back toward their hideout. Raven, Cyborg, and I will take care of Jinx and CB. Star and BB can go after that moving slimeball Plasmus. Titans, go!"
Still sleepy, Beast Boy changed into a hawk and followed Starfire as they flew toward the downtown mall to catch Plasmus. Meanwhile, Cyborg and Raven used the T-Car and Robin followed on his motorcycle in pursuit of Jinx's and Cinderblock's escape vehicle.
Starfire arrived just in time to see Plasmus trying to ooze through the sewer and fire a large starbolt at him, knocking him into a thousand slimy pieces; however, she screamed with annoyance as the all just came together again. Beast Boy followed close behind and turned into a giant mammoth in a desperate attempt to squash Plasmus. But he just oozed out from under him and knocked him several hundred feet back by changing his flexible arm into a giant club and dealing Beast Boy a stunning blow to the head. Dizzily, he staggered back on his feet. "Star, this isn't working. We have to think of something else!"
Meanwhile, the T-Car and Robin's motorcycle were in hot pursuit of the other getaway vehicle. Pulling back on the handlebars, Robin increased his speed until his was right alongside it. Seeing this, Jinx swerved the car toward him, forcing Robin to turn left and ride his motorcycle on the narrow sidewalk. "Damn! She's gonna squash Robin right against a building like some damn fly! Do something with yo powers, Rae!" Cyborg was beside himself. Opening her door, Raven flew onto the roof and looked around quickly for something to use. All the while the car drew ever closer to Robin, threatening to knock him into one of the tall city skyscrapers.
Now it was mere feet away. Jinx smirked evily. "Look's like you're out of luck, you— however, she was cut short as their car suddenly started to shake madly. She looked out of the window, and the boy on the motorcycle was growing smaller and smaller by the moment. They were rising into the air! Raven, standing on top of the T-Car, concentrated all her power into levitating the vehicle up into the sky. "Cy, call the SWAT team and tell them to wait in front of the police station. We're going to pay them a little visit," Raven said in her monotone. Still on the motorcycle, Robin yelled his thanks to Raven, who simply nodded in return.
Back outside the mall, Starfire and Beast Boy, while greatly delaying his progress, had failed in their attempt to apprehend Plasmus. "This is not working, friend! We must think of another way to capture our foe Plasmus!" Starfire yelled to Beast Boy, while still continuing a merciless assault of starbolts on Plasmus. But her energy wouldn't last forever, and Beast Boy knew it. Glancing over at the river, an idea suddenly popped into his head. Grabbing the two bags of stolen jewelry, Beast Boy started to sprint toward the half-frozen river, shouting back taunts and insults at Plasmus. Just as he expected, Plasmus began to pursue him. Changing into a cheetah, Beast Boy beat Plasmus to the river, standing dangerously close to the edge and making sneering faces at Plasmus. Blinded with rage, Plasmus continued to sprint stupidly toward Beast Boy, with Starfire following overhead. Plasmus was coming closer and closer, and just when it looked like he was about to grab Beast Boy, he dropped the two bags of stolen jewelry in his jaw, changed into a bat, and flew into the air and out of the way. Unable to stop himself, Plasmus's momentum caused him to stumble over the bags and fly toward the river, given a little nudge by Starfire's starbolt. A loud splash was heard, followed a few seconds later by a giant ice block with a frozen Plasmus inside it. Not even he could withstand the cold of the freezing December water.
Beast Boy and Starfire exhaled with relief, and a few minutes later the T- Car and Robin on his motorcycle turned the corner and screeched to a halt in front of the river. They all exited and Robin asked, "Are you two okay?" Starfire and BB nodded.
"Yeah, we're fine, and we got Plasmus," Beast Boy replied. "How about you guys?"
"We're all okay, thanks to Raven. She got Jinx and Cinderblock and we had them put in the maximum security prison just out of town. Whew, now that we're done, what do you all say we—
But a large amount of smoke that suddenly surrounded them did not allow Robin to finish his sentence. Coughing, Robin saw a bright red light engulfing them, followed by the screams of Starfire and Raven. Blinded, Robin was knocked to the ground and forced to turn away and listen to the screams of his teammates. After several seconds, the light and sound subsided, and Robin could finally look up. Cyborg had leapt onto Beast Boy, forcing him back. Raven's body lay on the ground, her clothes ripped and smoldering. However, there was no sign of Starfire. Robin felt a deep coldness inside his chest. Was Raven alive? And where was Star? He saw Beast Boy and Cyborg stirring, and heard the mumble, "Man, what the hell was that?"
It took a few minutes for Beast Boy to take in what had just happened. "Oh my god! Raven! Are you alright?!" He did not receive a response. Robin, however, was so shocked by the whole thing he could hardly move. Tears filled inside his mask and streamed down his face. He hadn't ever cried about anything, but he couldn't help himself. Starfire was probably dead, and God knew if Raven was alive. The last thing he heard before darkness enveloped him was, "Quick, somebody call an ambulance!"
A/N: Okay, that's the end of the first chapter. I know there was no romance, but we're getting to that. Tell me what you thought. Review the chapter. More to come soon.
