2nd fanfic, go easy on me. I don't own the Teen Titans, so leave me alone. Anything else? I don't think so... Oh, yeah. R&R. Later, ppl.
Raven glared menacingly at Dr. Light. He had gone through all of her friends, and she intended to take him down. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" A bus sailed through the air at Dr. Light. He dodged it and sent a bolt her way. It hit her full force. "Time to die, my dear!" said Dr. Light with an evil grin. He cut down the electrical wires from the telephone poles and wrapped them around Raven. Dr. Light set her near a fire hydrant and blasted it off the ground. "I think you'll find this quite shocking," said Dr. Light. Water burst through the hole where the hydrant had been, soaking Raven and electrocuting her. Dr. Light laughed evilly and took what he had come for.
Robin came to finding himself soaking wet, lying in Black Death Alley. What the... I thought I got over that problem years ago! thought Robin. Then he remembered the previous encounter with Dr. Light. "Star!" He had seen her go down. "Over here!" she called. Robin sent up a prayer of thanks as he rushed over to Starfire. "Where are the others?" asked Robin. "Cyborg and Beast Boy are over there looking for Raven." She pointed toward two figures, one big, one small, searching the grounds. "We can't find her anywhere." "It's not like her to run off," said Robin. "Something must have happened to her. Where's all this water coming from anyway?" "I'm not sure," said Starfire. "Let's follow the trail of water to see where it goes." Robin consented and they followed the trail of water.
Every now and then it would disappear, then turn up where they least expected. Several hours later, Robin said, "We'd better go. It's getting late." "But we can't give up on Raven!" "Star, it's one in the morning. We'd better go or we won't get enough rest to search tomorrow." Star agreed and they trudged back to Titans Tower. Robin couldn't sleep that night. Something was terribly wrong. He could feel it.
The next morning, the Titans got up early. They split up to search for Raven. It was noon before they found a clue."What is that?" Beast Boy asked. "That looks like Raven's brooch!" exclaimed Cyborg. "Dr. Light must have carried Raven off somewhere after the battle," Robin reasoned. "We can't stop now! Keep searching!"
The Titans' search led them to the downtown dump. Raven's cape was caught on the barbed wire fence surrounding the dump. Blood was everywhere. Beast Boy felt sick. "Looks like there was another battle," Cyborg said grimly. "From the looks of it, Raven lost." "But where'd he stash her body?" Robin wondered aloud. "STOP!" yelled Beast Boy. "Don't talk like that! She's not dead! She can't be!" "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" said Robin. "We've got to find her," whimpered Beast Boy. "We've GOT to." "I hear you, Beast Boy," Robin said. "Expand the search! Look especially around the dump! Titans, go!"
The Titans searched all over the town, finding nothing else. They returned home empty-handed once more. Beast Boy locked himself in his room and wouldn't come out. Robin tried talking o him, but felt pretty stupid talking to a closed door. He finally went back to join the others in wondering where Raven had gone. "Maybe he stashed her underground somewhere," said Cyborg. "Cy, that makes me think he killed her and buried her," said Robin. "I HEARD THAT!" screamed Beast Boy from his room. "Guess we'd better tone it down a notch," said Cyborg. "Perhaps Dr. Light has taken Raven back to his 'lair.' Correct?" said Starfire. "But what would Dr. Light want with Raven?" asked Robin. "I think he was just getting back at her for that whole 'afraid of the light/dark' thing," said Cyborg. (Author's Note: watch the Teen Titans episode "Nevermore" if you don't understand) "You have a point Cyborg," said Robin. "OK, so tomorrow we check the dumpsters and sewers and abandoned buildings for... I hate to say this... Raven's... body..." Robin's voice faltered. "I do hope that Beast Boy did not hear you say that," said Starfire. A cry of rage filled the tower. When it ended, Cyborg dared to whisper, "I think... he heard you..."
Beast Boy came storming in and grabbed Robin around the neck. He turned into an anaconda and wound himself tighter and tighter around Robin's neck. Robin was wrestling him, trying to break free. Robin had turned blue when Cyborg thumped Beast Boy on the head. He loosened his grip Robin. Robin gasped for air and tried to pry Beast Boy off of him. Beast Boy morphed into a different snake and sank his fangs into Robin's shoulder. Robin cried out in agony.
"Beast Boy, stop!" commanded Starfire. Beast Boy unwound himself and shrunk back into the shadows. Robin held his shoulder and gasped for breath. "Man, what is your deal, BB?" asked Cyborg. Beast Boy hissed and slithered out of the room. "Does anyone know what type of snake he was? He might have been poisonous," said Cyborg. Starfire gasped at the notion. She reached for the phone and called the nearest hospital. A few minutes later, she hung up, seemingly satisfied. "They will send the ambulance over immediately," she announced proudly. "Ambulance?" protested Robin. "I don't need an ambulance!" "That's too bad, 'cause they're already here," said Cyborg. "Do you think it will be safe to leave Beast Boy alone?" asked Starfire. "I don't think we have a choice," said Cyborg. Robin was raced off to the hospital. It turned out that the "snake" that had bitten him was not venomous. Robin was able to go home that very day.
When they returned to the tower, Beast Boy was gone. "That's just perfect," said Robin. "He probably ran off to find Raven," said Cyborg. "OK, let's go find him." Robin sighed. Three hours later, they found Beast Boy hunched over Raven's body. "Is she...?" Robin didn't bother to finish the question. By the look in Beast Boy's eyes, Robin knew. Raven was dead. She was dead, and she wasn't coming back. Beast Boy wept bitter tears. "I never even told her... that I loved her," Beast Boy sobbed. Robin placed his hand on Beast Boy's shoulder. Beast Boy pushed him away. "Leave me," he said. "Just leave me."
