I am so sorry it's not even funny!!! I haven't updated in like... who knows how long!
I planned to update more quickly, but things got busy, and I got caught up with making a video/movie/DVD (Take your pick. Yes i did make it into a DVD.) for my dad for fathers day (which he loooved, btw) and making videos for all 2 of my faithful youtubers who watch my videos, and.... yeah.
But the good news is: Since it is OFFICIALLY summer today, I SHOULD be updating way more frequently. But my brother can be a bit of a computer hog, so idk....
JK! JK!
My brother might be reading this.
But he never reads your stories...
You shut up!
Anyways,
I seem to say that a lot. Do I say that a lot?
without further adieu
whatever that means...
here's your long awaited, second chapter!
Oh, wait...
DISCLAIMER: Again with the all caps... Anyways, Oh there you go again I thought I told you to shut up! An- hold up! See I caught myself! I'm not gonna say that again! Ha! Take that! Oooh, you're a genius. *pouts* Fine, I don't own the Teen Titans
Beep... Beep... Beep....
A muffled groan could be heard, and a hand shot out from under the bed covers, smacking the snooze button. The sheets were thrown off, revealing a sleepy and slightly irritated Raven.
She lifted herself off of her bed and made her way to her own personal bathroom, (Cyborg had recently built a small private bathroom in each Titan's bedroom) acting slightly lethargic. This was unlike her, she was very much of a morning person.
Once inside the cramped bathroom, she removed her clothes (AN: Not. A. Word.) and stepped in the shower. Raven twisted the handle that read "hot" and the tiny shower sprung to life. 'With so much extra space in the tower, Cyborg could have at least made these big enough to not feel claustrophobic.' she thought as she stepped carefully under the constant, scalding hot jets of water.
She almost let out a yelp when the extreme temperatured water reached her skin, but managed to refrain herself before she blew up the entire bathroom. 'Cyborg wouldn't be to happy to have to rebuild this.' she reminded herself. And she didn't want all of them running in here, while she was naked in the shower. She shivered slightly at the thought, while adjusting the water temperature. They all worry too much, especially Robin. It must the the hero in him.
The water was no longer burn worthy, but still hot enough to leave her skin slightly pink for a moment or two, and the bathroom filled with steam to the point of choaking. The way hotter than warm water coarsed over her entire being, waking her up, and feeling to good. 'I know it's okay to enjoy a good shower, but this is ridiculous' Raven thought, sighing internally.
They had all gotten home late last night after preventing one of Red X's midnight museum raids, and she had crashed before getting a chance to shower or change. In fact, she was lucky she made it to her room, strangely out of character for her. Who knew Red X could be so exhausting? Especially at midnight!
Recalling the past nights events she noted, 'Ah the life of a big time superhero.' Sarcasm is wonderful, isn't it?
When she stepped out of the shower, she ran a conveniently nearby towel over her soaking wet body and through her hair, that had begun to leave little puddles of water on the bathroom floor. She prayed she didn't slip and reached blindly for her purple and black brush. Thankfully, it was close also. The steam was as thick as the fog on Lake Erie on a bad day.
After running the brush through her hair, Raven reached for her cloak on the other side of the door, and exited her bathroom, using her cloak as a bathrobe, even though she was in her own bedroom.
She sifted throught her dresser drawers and through her closet, panic begining to form when she realized there was nothing clean.
"Oh crap!" Raven exclaimed, flinching as her only lamp turned black and exploded. "Great. Now I'm stranded in my own room with no clothes or source of light. Perfect start to a new day."
Then she remembered why she didn't have any clothes. She didn't get a chance to take them out of the dryer last night. And the laundry room was all the way down on the--
Second... floor.
And here she was on the fourth.
Raven gulped and used her powers to search the tower. (AN:Tee Hee. Look at that! I made a rhyme!) She was beyond grateful to find them all in the common room, which was no where near the laundry room. She thanked her lucky stars for the random stroke of luck. She let out the breath that she hadn't realized she was holding in and teleported there and back, with her basket of clothes of course, before you could say whoa.
Raven whipped her regular uniform on and leaned against the door to catch her breath. It was a good thing her powers "accidentally" destroyed the securitly cameras, in the laundry room. She hoped and prayed that she got them all. If anyone had seen that tape she would die. 'Althought the guys might get a kick out of it. Especially Beas-' She mentally slapped herself when the morbid thought came to mind. She would definitely take a little trip to Nevermore this afternoon.
All of a sudden, she was was hit with a massive wave of mixed emotions. Irritation danced up her spine, while confusion pricked at her limbs, and anger shot her brain. She shivered ever so slightly, and composed herself, guessing where they were coming from. It wasn't always easy being an empath, but she never said anything about it. Raven wasn't one to complain.
She would have loved to be able to feel any of these emotions for herself, but if that meant endangering everyone and everything around her, including herself, then she could forget about it. Being able to feel all the emotions radiating off of everyone that come near her didn't exactly help her keep control either. People that showed strong emotions didn't exactly warm up to her.
Why do you think she hated Starfire and Beast Boy so much when they met for the first time and formed the team?
She tried to block out the unusually strong emotions on her way down to the common room, slightly annoyed by the friutless results. She could hear the arguement from all the way down the hall, and considering that she could feel it from two stories away, in her room, it couldn't mean anything good. There was only one thing that could get her team mates emotions so excited.
Breakfast.
"So what if they're not real eggs?! It was my turn to cook breakfast!"
"Yeah, but that was before we knew you were anti-eggs!"
"I'm a vegitarian!"
"Eggs aren't even meat!"
"Yeah, but-"
All four heads turned to the mechanical hiss of the door opening, as Raven stepped in and headed straight for her herbal tea.
"Hey, Raven!" Beast Boy jumped at his chance to prove Cyborg wrong and make him look like an idiot. Or at least a bigger idiot than BB himself. "Tell tin man over here," he pointed over at Cyborg, "that I-"
BEEP... BEEP... BEEP
Red lights flashed all around, turning the room a bright cardinal color, and cutting Beast Boy off, yet again. The three of them bolted over to the screen, with the exception of Beast Boy, who was dragged. Robin was already there with Starfire faithfully at his side.
Like always.
Robin's fingers flew across the keys, too fast to follow. "Dr. Light." he informed them.
"Man, how many times are we gonna have to beat this guy?" Cyborg exclaimed, before fleeing to the crime scene with the rest of them.
Meanwhile...
The enormous space vessel's speed slowed as it entered Earth's atmosphere.
"Sir," one memeber of the crew, Felix, I believe it was, called out, grasping for Lucius's attention, "We have pinpointed, if you will, the girl's location: Jump City, California."
"What is the continent and/or country." Lucius demanded. It really wasn't a question.
"North America, continent of America."
"..."
"May we proceed?" Felix question, cautiously before adding a "Sir."
"Yes, of course." Lucius replied, setting off a bit of chaos in the control room.
"Thank you, sir." Felix had not forgotten to thank him this time. Not after last time. But his head hurt too much for a flashback.
"No," Lucius mumbled and smirked, turning away from him, "thank you."
Back with the Titans...
"Alright, Dr. Light," Robin, followed by the others, busted in, hoping to catch him off guard and in the act. For some unknown reason, he seemed to always make a big deal of just walking in on a crime. Does it always have to be dramatic?
"Dude, that rhymed!" Does Beast Boy always have to ruin the moment?
Raven rolled her eyes, "Congradulations, you're official a genius."
Beast Boy jumped up and down for a moment, flailing his arms excitedly, "That's great! Where do I sign?!" He beamed, proud of his little joke.
No one laughed.
Beast Boy frowned and looked away, disapointed. 'Darn, she didn't laugh.'
Robin and Raven both felt a vein abnormally make itself known on their forehead, both quite irritated. Starfire on the other head was utterly confused.
"Pardon me, but I do not understand," she turned to Robin, "Did Raven not reguard Beast Boy as an 'idiot' just yesterday?"
Robin sighed. Now it was their turn to be confused.
"Helloooo? Titans, I'm over here." They had all but completely forgotten Dr. Light, who was waving at them from the far corner.
"Oh, right." Robin said suddenly in his overly serious fighting mood.
Beast Boy elbowed Raven, next to him, and grinned, "Dude, he really needs to lighten up a little."
Raven just kinda looked at him, and Robin gave him a icy glare. Beast Boy resorted to scratching the back of his head, as a little sweat drop appeared on his forehead.
Raven thought, 'He always does that when he's embarrassed or nervous.' It took her a moment to realize what she just thought. 'Why did I know that?!!'
Cyborg broke the awkward silence, "Uh, Teen Titans, GO!!" (AN: Have you ever noticed how Robin says "Titans" and Cyborg say "Teen Titans" when they announce the battle cry?)
They all sprang forward, towards the puny, pathetic excuse for a villan, but before they could lay a hand on him, the wall behind him collapsed, burying him in bricks of various colors, shapes, and sizes.
Robin automatically assumed that it was Cyborg's sonic cannon that caused the explosion, "Yeah! Nice work, Cyborg!" he praised his part-mechanical friend. (AN: You know what they say about assuming... It makes an ass out of u and me. Get it?)
"That wasn't me, man." Cyborg informed his short, spikey haired leader, proving his assumtions wrong. (AN: See what I mean?)
"Starfire? Raven?"
They both shook their heads.
Beast Boy felt left out. "What about me? I could have done that!"
Robin just ignored him, like always, "Well then, who-"
BOOM
This time, Robin was the one to be cut off, as a second explosion echoed throughout the small, dark, warehouse. A strange place for Dr. Light to stike, now that they thought about it.
Five superpowered teens, swiveled around to face the explosion that had came about behind them, a completely different position than the first, suprising them even further. They coughed and sputtered, sheilding their eyes and waiting for the sudden outburst of dust to clear out.
When it did, the sight that greeted their eyes was enough to strike fear into each and everyone of them.
They were all silent.
"Duuuuude."
Except for Beast Boy.
He dragged out the word in shock and amazement, while the others just stood there like idiots, unsure of what to do.
The three beings standing in the middle of the 10' by 10' opening they had cleared in the brick wall were nothing less than appauling. Having placed themselves in a V formation, the leader stood out immediately.
The two at his flanks resembled something like that of a super soldier that you would see in an action movie, covered in finely detialed and advanced, yet sleek somehow, black armor. All of their features hidden beneath the security of the large, dark helmet.
As I said before, the leader stood out immediately. He was too beautiful for words to express. Bearing no armor, not even a shirt, they were all mesmerized. He looked about 19, was rather tall, and had body that was well toned and beyond perfect in every way. His skin sparkled in the faint sunlight radiating through the newly opened hole in the wall and fixating itself on him like a spotlight. Even his face was perfect, somehow complemented by long shaggy brown hair and crimson colored eyes, filled with bloodlust and... something else.
Robin, being the most serious and not a girl, was the first to recover. "Who are you?" He demanded, a bit confused. "What do you want, anyways?"
The beautiful one in the middle, whom they assumed (correctly this time) was the leader, suprised them all by chuckling momentarily. "Calm down, puny, spikey haired, little human," he miffed, "I only want one thing... a being, actually."
Beast Boy was the only one to notice the strange, but beautifully handsome, man's eyes flicker over at Raven for a millisecond, before returning to their position at Robin's face, during his little speech. Somewhere, deep inside his mind, something snapped. Beast Boy stepped in front of her, in a protective and animalistic crouch. He felt low growl rising in the back of his throat, and didn't feel quite himself.
Raven raised an eyebrow at Beast Boy's behavior. He looked like he was ready to rip apart the first person who looked her funny. 'I haven't seen him act like this since...' (AN: Review to guess what she was gonna say, if you think you have an idea.) Her thoughts on the cute little grass stain was cut short as Robin spoke up again.
"Who! Who are you after!" He too stepped protectively in front of his secret love. But only ever so slightly. Again, Beast Boy would have been the only one to notice, if he had not been so focused on the intruders and protecting Raven.
He chuckled softly again and shook his head, before suddenly appearing serious, yet, in a way, kind of cocky. Smirking he looked fully at Raven. Her eyes widened in fear and Beast Boy's growl grew more audible, both knowing fully well what was coming next. He stated plainly, while still smirking evilly...
"Raven. Roth."
That's when he lunged.
I know, I know, you hate me. I'm soooo cruel for putting a cliffhanger like that.
I'm really sorry.
Wait... no, no I'm not.
MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I think I'm going crazy...
Ya think!?!
*pouts again*
Well, I guess thats just about it. Stay on the look out for the next update. And PLZ review!!! I'm planning to update again before the end of this week!
Yay, updating!!
