Despair City
I don't own Teen Titans or the Book of Revelation. All quotes from the book of Revelation are 100 percent pure and true, and according to this prophecy the 'birth pains' have already begun to give birth to this time I write of, when the world is wrought with utter despair.
Thus this is truth mixed with fiction.
Can you handle the truth?
Yes?
... then read on.
Rev 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain
The Titans had been fighting evil in a pitch black world now for seven months.
It wasn't the darkness that was making things particularly difficult though, it was that everyone was behaving like a criminal: looting, killing, going to war...
"I guess everyone has a bit of Raven in them" Beast Boy has tried to lighten the mood before being seriously sorry. He'd only meant her half-demon side!
"I mean Trigon! Trigon!" He weaseled out of it after a sneer from Raven.
Robin kept up the spirit, "Com'on guys. We're doing what we can."
"But for how much longer, Robin?" enquired Starfire innocently.
The waters had become blood, and over the last week Aqualad had gone missing, presuming the worst. They told each other that his communicator must have just broke, but nobody knew just how much water was integral for his survival.
Temples in honor of the ruler of the One World Church had been errected and swarmed with government leaders, men of power that kept the Titans with work. Many matyred at their hands, superheroes overburdened; evil was winning and Jump city never looked the same.
Sometimes Beast Boy would shed a tear when overlooking the city and the amount of evil that even when they split up, they would never eradicate. And Raven would put a coaxing arm around his shoulders.
"I don't care what Robin says... I'm giving up, going underground." He shook himself free of her and started pacing "I'm sick of it! We aren't doing anything!"
"Robin has faith, he has hope" She replied paitently.
"It's not going to get better, with or without us."
"That's why we've got to keep going, be strong. It won't be much longer."
"What won't?"
"There's a prophecy and this one will be fulfilled."
He raised an eyebrow, sometimes she was so sombre. But this time it seemed to be a happy one, a prophecy of hope, instead of despair "What makes you so sure?"
She smiled, meekly "Maybe us Titans should have more of Robin in us after all."
Beast Boy choked on this for a minute and then exclaimed "Dude!"
She turned her back on him, "Grow up Beast Boy" and her cape fluttered behind her back off the roof of the Titans Tower.
This is the beginning: it just gets darker from here on in (but I promise to make it a fun ride).
