The Return: Prologue
Well, this is the REWRITE of my first Xover. I hope you guys like the story!
Warning: My information of Young Justice has grown a bit blurry, so bear with me :)
UPDATED A/N: As you can see, I completely changed a lot of things. First, in the original, Jinx and Raven are on their way to Mt. Justice. In the process of rewriting it, a thought occurred to me. Raven and Jinx wouldn't be stupid enough to lead the evil people to Mount Justice where their fellow old companions are. So instead, they're in the city itself (Happy Harbor), near Mt. Justice. They just so happened to crash-land there, it wasn't planned.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TEEN TITANS OR YOUNG JUSTICE! ALL RIGHTS GO TO CARTOON NETWORK or whoever created them.
Enjoy~!
Running. That's what they were doing. They were running for their lives. They were the only two left. They had to keep going. They had to. They're not letting the other three's sacrifices go to waste.
The ninja-like robots following behind them let out a huge roar before gaining on the two girls.
Her black boots splashed through the puddles as she ran. She felt her ponytail swing back and forth as she ran. She continued following the dark blue hooded cape that swished around on this cold, dark night. They're almost there. They can- no, they will make it.
But the cloaked girl in front of her glanced back before stopping and turning abruptly while shouting, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Black energy escaped her hands as her eyes glowed white. Some of the robots seemed to fall, but more came. One of the robots grabbed onto her arm. Her eyes glowed white again, and the black energy destroyed the robot, but more latched onto her. She destroyed more of them, but they just kept coming.
The pink haired girl stopped running and turned to her struggling friend. "Raven!" She yelled as she attempted to run back to her, but was stopped by her command.
"Keep going! You have to escape-!" was the last thing Raven told her before the robots summoned a black portal and was engulfed in the darkness. Tears stung at her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. All she could do now was run.
And that's what she forced herself to do: run. She has to do it for them. They sacrificed themselves for her. Now it's up to her to bring them back.
She ran faster. She ran past the sleeping homes of civilians, the closed stores, the empty office buildings. She just had to lose them then get out of this town-!
A stinging sensation on her back made her fall down in a puddle. One of the robots had shot at her. But it wasn't a bullet, it was some type ray gun, and it made her back burn. But she refused to stop. She immediately stood back up and started running again.
Her vision was blurring, but she willed herself to continue running. She turned to see if the darkness and robots were still behind her, though still a far enough distance. She could do this. If she turned this corner, maybe she could-!
There was a sound in the air. It sounded as if something was slicing through the air before something struck her.
Now that was a bullet.
Blood escaped her lips and dripped down her jaw. She held one her abdomen, which now dripped blood. She tried to run again but a small yelp escaped her lips as pain shot through her. She clutched her abdomen and fell to one knee. She tried to stand again, only to fail once more. She turned to see the robots getting closer.
They're stupid to think that she'll go down without a fight.
Slowly pressing her free arm to the ground, she allowed her eyes to glow bright pink as she let the hexes explode the cement on the street they were on. The debris hit some robots, but more continued her way. She clicked her tongue, wincing as she felt her shirt become damp with blood. She cringed at the pain, gritting her teeth to stop the cry from escaping her lips. Once more, she threw more hexes at them with all she had.
She was becoming dizzy, her breathing becoming more shallow. Her vision blurred in and out, and she could hear the blood thumping to her ears. She could feel her power draining, the bright pink glow growing dimmer and dimmer, and she was beginning to think it was time to just close her eyes and give up...
Until a boy crashed in front of the robots pathway, grabbing one of the robots and smashing them against each other. Some robots were lifted up into the air and smashed into little pieces. Arrows and familiar-looking bird-a-rangs were shot and thrown at the robots.
Another team of heroes? Her saviors... She tipped back, about to fall to the ground, but was picked up off her feet bridal style, and could feel the rush of wind on her face. What a nostalgic feeling... The only person she experienced this with was...
"Don't worry, I got 'ya. We'll get you the medical attention need." She stared up at her savior, her vision slightly blurring. She must have been having near-death hallucination because he looks just like-
"Kid...?" Her eyes were becoming unfocused, and she could barely see the stranger. All she could make out was blobs of red and yellow and piercing green eyes. She shook her head. "No, impossible." 'His eyes were blue.' She thought to herself as the wind rush against her face.
Besides, what were the chances of her meeting him, here of all places? Nearly one in a million. She couldn't stop the tired laugh from escaping her lips. Of course, he wouldn't be here. He's busy helping those cocky Leaguers save the world. She stopped forcing herself to stay awake, her head dropping backwards as her hood fell back against the piercing wind, revealing her bubble-gum pink hair. She struggled to keep her eyes open and couldn't stop the nostalgic, exhausted smile appear on her face. 'Just a hallucination...' "Still...I'm so glad...that I got to see your face again..." She reaches out to touch his cheek, but only manages to smear her blood on his peach skin. "Even if...you're just...an...illusion..."
She could feel the wind stop as the guy carrying her did as well. Before she lost consciousness, she heard a gasp escape the stranger's lips as well as a name being called out desperately... Her name.
"JINX!"
R&R!
