Midnight Rain
Chapter 2: Fogginess
By: Raven612
The sun was rising over the city and Raven sat in her window watching it rise across the water. She stood slowly and flexed her back, she fixed her hair, pulled on her cloak and set off to make breakfast.
Everyone in the tower awoke to the sounds of sizzling eggs and bacon and also the smells of coffee, orange juice, and many more items that were for breakfast.
"Wow Rave, why did you do all of this?" Beast Boy asked drool forming on his lips.
"I just had an urge." She muttered as she mixed around the bacon and set in on the table and gave Beast Boy some tofu that she had made also.
"Thanks," He said digging in.
"Raven this is splendid is there a holiday I should know about?" Starfire asked floating right behind Raven as she went.
"No." Raven sighed sitting down with a cup of tea.
"Mmm, this is good Rave." Cyborg said between mouthfuls.
"Yeah dido," Robin said sipping his coffee.
"I'll be in my room meditating." Raven said as she started up the stairs.
"Shall I go after her?" Star asked.
"No I think she wants to be alone." Robin said as he sliced into an egg.
"Okay, well I must go I have some, uh, thing to take care of." Star announced as she rushed from the tower.
"Um okay," Robin answered a little stunned as the door slammed and Starfire disappeared down the walk.
"I wonder what she's up to." Cyborg muttered with egg dripping from his mouth as he talked.
"Dude learn to swallow before you speak." Beat Boy muttered with his mouth full also.
"Look whose talking." Cyborg muttered under his breath.
"I'll do the dishes." Robin muttered as he collected them from the table trying to ignore Cyborg and Beat Boy's argument over manners.
"Dude you had the egg dripping out of your mouth at least all of my food was in my mouth and not all over the table." Beat Boy demanded looking Cyborg in the eyes.
"You were the one who told me not to talk with my mouthful and then you did it and it flew." Cyborg said leaning across the table to intimidate Beast Boy.
"Whatever dude but yours was sicker." Beast Boy muttered as he went to the couch and switched on some action movie that he had never seen before and Cyborg joined him both forgetting the fight they had.
"I'll check on Raven." Robin muttered as he went up the stairs to her room but just as he approached it Raven burst out.
"Oh," She muttered avoiding a collision with Robin.
"What's up?" He asked noticing the look of fear in her eyes.
"Star is..." Before she got the words out Robin was already down stairs and getting Cyborg and Beast boy off of the couch and in the T-car.
"Raven, come on." Robin yelled noticing her still on top of the stairs.
"I'm coming." She muttered as she glided out into the cool afternoon sun.
"Where is she Raven?" He asked.
"In an alley way on old 15 Street." She answered as she and Beast Boy flew ahead of the car. They landed right as the T-car pulled up.
"There," Raven pointed as Star noticed them and shoved something into her pocket and smiled widely at them and shot an icy stare at Raven.
"What are you doing here?" Star asked looking at them all now.
"Well Raven said that you were..." Robin trailed on realizing that Raven didn't finish before he shot out of the house.
"I was going to say that she was in danger but I guess she took care of it." Raven lied. 'What made me lie like that I know what she was doing.' Raven thought as she looked around the small alley to the tops of the buildings.
"Oh well I suppose your okay now and so we can go back to the tower." Robin said a blush creeping into his face as he and the others started for the car.
"Wait a minute." Raven said holding her hand out stopping the others.
"What is it Rae?" Beast Boy asked walking to her side.
"Up there," She pointed to a black hooded figure.
"He is not harming us lets just let him be." Star said as she stepped up to Raven.
"Is he the one who attacked you Star?" Robin asked joining them.
"Uh, no he is not let's just go now." She said as the rest walked back to the car but Raven remained where she stood staring at the figure.
"Raven come on." Robin called.
"I'll be there in a bit this person has a dark auora about him." Raven answered flying up to where he stood.
"Rave," They shouted from below.
Raven didn't pay attention but walked towards the figure. It turned to her and she felt her mind go blank.
"Hello Raven." He laughed as she neared it.
"Who are you?" She asked trying to read his mind but she found he had blocked her from it.
"I am not going to allow you the pleasure to know that." It sneered.
"Raven leave him alone he was not harming us." Star said as she and Beast boy appeared behind her.
"Why are you protecting him?" Beast Boy asked a confused look crossing his face as he turned to look at her. She just fidgeted nervously.
"Don't trust her anymore." Raven said.
"Huh?" Beast Boy muttered.
"Don't trust her." Raven shouted turning her head so that she could keep and eye on the dark figure and Beast Boy.
"Why not?" Beast Boy asked taking a step away from Star's side.
"I don't know right now, I just know that we can't trust her anymore." Raven answered turning fully towards Beast Boy and Starfire. Starfire's eyes were glowing a bright green as she rose into the air with a look of hatred on her face.
"So you found out about my little deal huh?" Star asked.
"I knew about it since I went to the mall with you." Raven answered.
"And you brought the Titans here just like I knew you would, I let you find out, I let you think I was in danger, and it worked I got the Titans here." Star laughed sounding mad.
"Star what are you doing?" Robin asked as he and Cyborg showed up.
"Oh Roby poo," She laughed striking him with a bolt of green light.
"Star!" Cyborg and Beast Boy shouted running to Robin's side.
"Ha you guys always thought I was a blubbering idiot." Star laughed shooting them also.
"Star stop it." Raven yelled rising to her level.
"No, I love this," Star laughed shooting them all again as they rose.
"What do you love about it? These are your friends." Raven said.
"They thought I was there's I was never theirs." Star said and evil grin forming.
"What made you like this?" Raven asked her voice void of any emotion.
"Oh you know the usual money, power, money." Star laughed.
"But Star you always cheered one of us up, you were always there for someone when they were alone." Raven said.
"She's a great actor." The black figure said floating over to Star.
"Yeah she is." Beast Boy muttered.
"It worked well Star was in with you guys long enough to learn your routines, and mostly your weaknesses, unfortunately Robins only real weakness was Star." The black figure laughed going over to Robin and picked him up by the neck.
"Let me go." Robin seethed as he threw a disk through him.
"Tsk tsk," The figure said as it passed through him.
"Damnit." Robin spat squirming to get out of its grip.
"Azarath metrion zinthos," Raven cried pulling the figures hands from around Robin's neck as a blast green light from Star hit her in the back and sent her flying over the side of the building.
"Raven," They all screamed rushing to the side she fell from.
"I'm fine," She muttered floating above them facing an angry looking Starfire.
"You are ruining our plans." Star seethed letting lose a very strong dose of energy that hit Raven Square in the chest and sent her flying through the air.
"That was the idea." Beast Boy shot at her as he went to check on the fallen Raven.
"Don't let her escape." Raven whispered as she struggled to her feet holding her shoulder.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Beast Boy asked as he laid an arm on her shoulder.
"Yeah I'm okay I think you should worry about him." Raven sighed pointing to Robin who just stood unmoving watching Cyborg and the Black figure fighting as Star shot occasional blasts of energy towards Cyborg laughing as she did so.
"Robin." Beast Boy sighed lowering his head in sadness.
"Starfire, do you have any idea of how many people you hurt?" Beast Boy yelled to her and she turned towards him.
"Aw the little Beast Boy." She laughed pointing her hands at him.
"Star come on we don't want to hurt you, you're our friend." Beast Boy said as he walked towards her avoiding her blasts.
"I was never your friend so hurt me, feel how good it is to hurt someone you once cared for." She laughed shooting him but he narrowly avoided it by turning to a beetle.
"Beast Boy, you take care of her I'll help Cyborg." Raven yelled as she ran towards Cyborg how was being shot with black energy blasts.
"I loved her." Raven heard Robin mutter as she ran past him. She rolled her eyes and slowed as she reached him.
"Robin wake up your friends need your help." Raven said looking him in the eyes.
"I, I can't Raven." He whispered his head falling into his hands.
"You can if you put your mind to it." She said.
"No I can't Raven you don't know what its like, I loved her." He screamed at her.
"I know you did but she's not who we thought she was." Raven sighed tenderly resting a hand on his shoulder.
"She was so pure, I thought." He said groaning as he sunk to the ground avoiding a blast from Star.
"Robin, you have to help us we need you to help us." Raven said.
"No," He answered firmly.
"Fine just sit here and watch then." She said making sure that her anger didn't come lose. She ran off towards Cyborg who was at 95% already.
"It's about time someone showed up." He said as he shot his sonic blaster at the figure.
As Raven approached her mind went foggy and she stumbled backwards.
"Feeling a little dizzy Raven?" The black figure asked turning is head to her.
"What are you doing to me?" She asked her hands flying to her head as a sharp pain sliced through it.
"I am simply shutting down your mind, for that is your greatest weapon, you can do so many things with it if you would just let me help you, to train you." It whispered leaving Cyborg alone as it floated towards her.
"I get it." She said aloud.
"What do you get?" It asked her slight worry filling his voice.
"You manipulated Star before we even found her; you gave her what she desired, friends, power, and a gift." Raven said struggling against his power to stand.
"You are smarter than I thought." He said.
"You gave her the gift of decet." Raven muttered. "You made her your puppet and now its to late to go back she can't be saved." Raven said as she read through his mind.
"Yes," He snickered.
"Why are you allowing me to read your mind?" She asked a look of curiousity crossing her face and she winced with pain as a blast from Star sliced through her shoulder.
"Because, you can trust me I can make all of the pain go away, I can make you forget about him." It laughed.
"You..." She seethed unable to hold back her anger, she let it flow through her veins, her eyes glowed red, she rose to an enormous size.
"You will not get away with this." A dark and raspy voice said from below Raven's hood. Everyone stopped and looked at her.
"Tsk, tsk, Raven are we letting our emotions the best of us?" He asked calmly but Raven could detect the small amout of worry in his voice.
"You are scum." She roared as the bottom of her cloak flew out from under her and over the top of him, but he vanished just before she could completely cover him.
"My master is much stronger than you will ever be." Star laughed as she willed all of her remaining energy in a large ball of green light and let it loose on Raven. Raven turned just as it engulfed her whole body.
"Raven!" they all screamed as the light grew brighter then it exploded. Raven flew over the tops of two buildings before she finally fell heavily to the ground.
"Toodles." Star snickered as she waked away from them to exhausted to fly.
"I, I can't believe that out Star would do something like that." Beast Boy muttered as he pushed himself off of the ground.
"Yeah," Cyborg muttered holding his left shoulder.
"Raven, we have to go see if she's...still alive." Robin whispered turning before anyone could see the tear the slid from his face.
"Oh god Raven," Beast Boy muttered limping along behind Robin and Cyborg.
They silently climbed to the street below and got into the car. They drove for 10 minutes before they came to where they thought Raven might have landed.
"I'll find her." Beast Boy muttered as he turned to a blood hound and started to sniff along the street. Robin and Cyborg followed close behind.
"Over here." Beast Boy beckoned turning to himself waving them all over. They walked into an alley corner and found Raven slumped against a building with a pool of blood around her.
"We need to get her to a hospital." Robin mutterd picking her up.
"We better hurry she doesn't look to good." Cyborg said as he started the car and sped away doing 120 mph as he tore out into the streets of the dark and cold city. No one could say anything everything happened to fast for them. They all listened to Raven's shallow and uneven breathing as they pulled into the hospital parking lot. Robin lifted her and ran inside and demanded service. He watched as they wheeled her away and he sank into a chair in the waiting room and rested his head in his hands before he finally collected enough energy to walk back to the car.
They arrived back at the tower and the all shuffled inside with their heads hung. Each one of them went to their own room and laid down. Once Robin was in the solitude of his room he let his tears take over. He cried himself to sleep and dreamed of Starfire she was so innocent and then she turned black and evil.
A/N: Okay I rushed the story a little bit because I want to fit some ideas I have into it and I'm sorry if you think it went to fast please don't be upset but R&R please! It helps lol well anyhow I'll update as soon as I get more reviews! See ya around.
