So... Here I am at my first Fanfiction and I thought this honour should go to my favourite childhood series, Teen Titans
Notice: I do not own Teen Titans, I only own this story and I sure wish it was as popular as Teen Titans were and are. Please do not move this story without my permission nor take credit for writing it, this too forever forme so I will be pretty pissed if you do.
A gloomy shadow swept across the cold tiled floor, expanding into the corners of the large expanse of what looked to be a viewing room of some kind. At one end of this rectangular room was a large paneled window that was an impressive two stories high, although large, it allowed little light to enter. At the other, a spiraling staircase, joined at the bottom, branched out into two before coming back in itself and becoming one again, allowing access to the upper level of the room. All around the room were glass cases that stood human height, locked in each were artifacts of the ages. Many held abstract pottery, aging parchments and paintings that looked like they had seen better days.
The large room towered threateningly over a young teen who entered with caution, glancing around like an frightened animal. The boy was not like any others, for a perfect example of a homosapian would not have a forest green hue to every inch of skin that could be seen, neither would they have large elfish ears nor have an large protruding fang from the left side of the bottom lip. With petite steps, the slight teen inched his way from the safety of the strong, wooden archway, ears swiveling, straining to hear over the deafening silence.
"Beast Boy, is it clear?" A strong, yet concerned voice called in a hush tone from the other side of the archway. The green boy was started but was quick to regain his composer and bite down his embarrassment.
"Y-yeah, all clear" His voice was high pitched despite him trying to be hush, showing his immaturity. At his voice, four more teens of varies backgrounds entered. Standing together in a loose group it was hard to image what crazy situation could have brought all these... Unique... Teens to form their unlikely relationships.
"Friend Robin, I do not do the looking of how our villian of most interest would be in a place of human achievements." The girl piped up. At first glance at this seeming normal girl, people would be let off for thinking she was just a normal teenage girl. However when you saw her extremely bright green eyes, how she could seemingly fly with little undue effort and her use of torturing the English language, it is pretty hard to ignore the blasting sirens in your head that this is someone out of this world. Which she is.
The boy who she hovered over, gave her a questioning glance. "Its called a museum, Star." He paused, giving some thought to his next words. "I'm sure I saw him, he has to be here. This time were not letting him get away." The boy who was called Robin said with authority and determination. Robin gripped his staff tightly, his knuckles going a shade whiter and his muscles noticeably tightened under his green and red uniform. The teen stood out as one that could be called 'normal', he had every human characteristics except for the fact he had a white mask with black rimming that covered his eyes, giving him a very mysterious feeling to all who saw him. A hip length cape hung loosely around the back of his shoulders.
Everyone sent a worried and concerned glance in Robin's direction at the sound of his last statement.
A heavy mechanic hand slumped down on top of the Boy Wonder's shoulder, gripping slightly. "Its going to be okay, Rob, we'll find him." A deep comforting voice said. Any engineer or medic would marvel at what this large man behind the Boy Wonder had achieve. For he was half human, half robot. Only little bits of his original chocolate coloured skin could be seen from under the silver and blue mechanics that seemingly engulfed his legs, lower arms, torso and half of face, including one red light for one of his eyes. Despite towering over his team mates and dwarfing them all in appearance strength, he did not speak with authority nor harshness. This was Cyborg.
He turned his concerned gaze to the smallest of the team, "BB, you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost" He said with a hint of his kidding nature, affectionately giving his best friend an knuckle rub on the head.
The green teen swatted away the giant hand with his signature goofy grin winning over his fear of what lay in the shadows. "It's just... This place is so creepy, dude" The Titan whined, A spine tingling shiver traveled along his spine accompanied by a look of disgust. "Hey, Rea. I bet you know your way around here." Beast Boy said in a jokingly fashion towards the last remaining Titan. He flinched visibly, bracing himself for a slap on the back of his head from a hand made purely of black energy. When it never came, he peaked an eye open to look at the fully cloaked teen, at the very least he expected an sarcastic retort. But nothing was said from the dark teen.
The girl, or what you could say was a girl from the way her cloak settled loosely around her figure, stood the same height as Robin and like the Boy Wonder had a cape of some kind. Her dark blue cloak covered every inch of her body when closed, only showing her little blue elf-like boots that peaked from underneath. A hood was pulled over her face, making it even harder to see any features that could disgust her as human. Only her chin and lips were not covered by the shadow of her hood, showing she had a sickly pale colour of skin and her lips carried not a hint of natural pink. The girl held herself with confidence however drew no attention towards herself. A girl who was easily overlooked, but who stood out like a sore thumb in this group of clearly superheros.
"Someone's here." Her voice was not hushed but was still quiet and held no emotions towards what she was saying, not even the fear she could feel radiating off her friends.
At her stoic voice, the team of teens braced themselves, looking to their masked leader for directions. Robin nodded to no one in peculiar before glancing around. Keeping silent, Robin pointed a gloved finger at Starfire, Raven and Beast Boy, indicating to the higher levels of the room before turning to his mechanic friend.
"Are you getting any signatures?" He asked, keeping up his hushed voice as the two girls flew silently towards the second floor that rimmed around the interior of the room.
"A step ahead of you there, Rob." The half man said, a soft glow illuminating his face from the panel that lit up on his arm. "It seems there was activity here earlier, which could have just be the security guard that reported the disturbance, but there seems to be no heat signatures anywhere."
At this report, the teens brow furrowed together, much out of characteristic of a boy his age. "Right, lets just make sure the place is clear. We can start the search again tomorrow" His voice did not betray his disappointment, however Cyborg had lived with the workaholic long enough to pick up the strain in his voice.
Beast Boy had the ability to transform into any animal he had seen in real life or studied from a book. However this ability was not perfect, as when he transformed into a brown owl before everyone, he retained his green colouring. The oddly coloured owl took off silently and scanned the room in the dimming light.
Starfire take off was a little more sloppy than the graceful owl's, for her flight was not fueled by wings, but rather her emotions of 'unbridled joy', which were lacking at this moment. The normal cheerful alien was having difficulty finding joy in this situation. Friend Robin was having difficulty handling the idea that their villian of most interest - or as friend Beast Boy put it, archenemy - and she could see it was taking its strain on him, adding many more sleepless nights in the evidence room. With the feelings of 'righteous fury' building inside her, a green starbolt formed in her hands, illuminating the path before her as the only light that was coming into the room from the large windows to her left was slowly starting to die as the day wore on. The higher level, like the lower, was decorate with glass cases that held things that gave the alien what the boys called "the hebby gibbes".
From across the room, Raven muttered her mantra to herself, slowly exhaling and inhaling with each verse, "Azarath... Metrion... Zinthos..." Something was wrong. Very wrong and she wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible.
Before Raven could even turn her head to look around at the exhibits, a mass of flames materialize out of nowhere, engulfed her with not even a crackle to alert of its presence. However everyone heard the loud "CRACK" that echoed though the expanse of the room as the half demon was paralleled across the room, for her fall to be broken by the spiraling staircase, causing a fault to split through the middle. The sissling sound of burning could be heard on the other side of the room as a stunded silence settled on the team.
"Ahh... So it does work" A calm voice said from the shadows, not even feeling the need to raise his masculine voice to be heard across the room.
Everyone -everyone who could move- looked towards the shadows, each inhaling audibly before practically spitting the name of the villian who haunted their nightmares.
"Slade."
Yes, I know, this is terrible. But cut me some slack, I haven't writen in a long time and this is my first Fanfiction. If my views of the Teen Titans characteristics are strange or out of charater, please say. I used to watch this show when I was little and I loved it, I always found I connected with Beast Boy the most. I have only just refound this amazing series and have only rewatched a few episodes. Hope you like it, if you do, theres plenty more to come so stay in touch.
