:star: Day Two :star:
The night before, BB had a hard time getting to sleep. His mind was to busy trying to think of ways to help Raven show her emotions. He thought of everything from eating Starfire's weird Tamerainian dishes to… to… kissing a zombie! The only two sensible ideas he came up with so far was making Raven fall in love with him, if she hadn't already done that, or reading into all her spell books…even if he didn't like reading. He decided that he would try the first idea seeing how the second one made him have a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach that he would get caught or eaten by one of Raven's pillows. He had experienced getting sucked into a mirror before and he certainly didn't want to do something like that again. So he planned some things to do for Raven the next day, got his alarm clock out of one of his old pizza boxes on the ground, and set it for before sunrise. He had wanted to get up before Raven did, and that's just what happened this morning!
He was now on the couch playing one if his many car racing games, waiting for Raven to come in and discover the little gift he had left. Robin was the first to come in though. "Hey Beast boy…. How come you're up so early? Is everything ok?" Robin asked making sure that his fellow teammate was feeling ok. "Yeah I'm fine… I just couldn't get to sleep is all" BB said from the couch as Robin walked over to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water. BB wasn't entirely lying after all. "Alright … well if you or any of the other titans need me I'll be in the training room", Robin said from the kitchen. "K dude" BB said as Robin left the room to go work out.
Starfire was next to come in. "Good morning friend Beast Boy, has Robin awakened yet?" "Yeah Star he went to the workout room" "thank you" Star said, as she turned to walk out, Cyborg came into the room. "Good morning friend Cyborg", Star said as she left. "Hey Star" Cyborg said making his way to the couch. "I'll Race ya B!" Cyborg announced to BB "You're on!" BB replied throwing him the second controller. BB started the new game and as the count down to start the race went on he thought about when Raven might wake up to find his first little gift. He couldn't wait to see her confused face!
Raven came down the hall and entered the main room to find BB and CY at the couch playing video games. Beastboy was winning from the looks of it. She rolled her eyes and stared at the back of there heads thinking to herself. 'They're already rotting there brains away this morning!' Raven walked into the kitchen to do her usual daily routine of making her herbal tea. She went to reach for the pot to take it and fill it up with water, but it was already steaming! She stood shocked. She lifted off the lid to the tea pot to find it filled to the brim with what smelled like her herbal tea. She pondered to herself who might have did this. 'No one ever drinks tea here…unless it's…' "Is Robin up?" Raven asked Beastboy and Cyborg. Beastboy smiled nervously before turning his head to the kitchen to reply. "Yeah he's in the workout room." Raven figured that it was probably just Robin who made some tea… to help him concentrate with his work out session. (Of course she was wrong)
BB watched as Raven poured herself a cup of the tea he made for her. She took her first sip of tea hesitantly but sighed in relief when she found out how good it was. 'Sweet she likes it! That means I made it right!' Beast Boy thought to himself, almost forgetting about the game he was playing with Cyborg until CY yelled, "Alright! I beat your little green butt!" beast boy turned around to face CY and Raven took her tea and left the main room. "Huh? Dude that's so not fare I was talking to Raven!" BB said as he looked back into the kitchen and frowned when he saw that Raven had left. "That was SO fare! You talked to Raven … like...3 minutes ago!" "I want a re match!" BB yelled. "Fine! But this time pay attention to the screen and not your grrr…l…friend!" cy smirked and picked up one of the pillows next to him and pretended to make-out with it like it was a woman. " Eww Gross Dude! She's my Friend… I couldn't ever think of her like that!" BB said smacking the pillow out of Cyborg's hands. "That's what Robin said about Starfire before we went to Tokyo and now look what has happened." "Whatever dude! Let's just do the rematch!" siren the alarm went off… causing red lights to go off throughout the whole tower. "Looks like our re match will have to wait!" CY said. Robin and Starfire came rushing in, followed not to long after by Raven. Robin went to the controls in the front were the huge scenic window was. An image popped up on the window almost like the window turned into a TV. "NO!" Robin said as he looked up to the screen showing a map of the town. "Robin?" Star asked. "Who is it Robin?" CY asked. "It's Slade." Robin said with hatred in his voice. Star gasped and CY said "No". Raven and BB on the other hand weren't as shocked. BB stopped being shocked about him since the 'end of the world' incident…and Raven just never really was surprised at all. For Raven new Slade was almost impossible to take down…and seeing as it had been a while since there last encounter, she knew it was time for him to show up again. "He's in the Downtown Jump City area… TITANS GO!" With those two last words every one ran out the door. All ready to try and take down the impossible…Slade!
:star:ZOOM:star:
The Teen Titans arrived in downtown Jump City. CY, Beastboy and Raven got out of the t-car. While Robin got off his r-cycle and Starfire landed on the ground from flying. They all looked around but couldn't find anything unusual. There were the normal Jump City residence going about their normal every day lives. BB turned into a blood hound and tried to sniff out Slade's scent. Cyborg looked at his scanners to try to find Slade's location. Raven also looked… she tried to find him telepathically. "Report" Robin said. "I can't find him on my scanners…" CY said "… and I can't find him telepathically" Raven said they all turned to look at BB who was still sniffing the air and things. BB turned back into human right next to Raven and said, "I thought I smelled him for a sec…but then nothing!" "What are you planning Slade?" Robin asked the air. "Maybe we should go man. Everything checks out here. We could go back to the tower and check our scanners." CY said making sure Robin wouldn't get all paranoid determined again like he normally does over Slade. Starfire walked over to Robin and put her arms around his and said, "Yes , please let us go examine the scanners.. There is nothing wrong here." Robin nodded and all of them but Raven started to walk back to the vehicles. BB noticed that he didn't hear Ravens quiet foot steps behind him like normal so he turned around to see what had happened. "What's wrong Raven?" BB said walking back over to Raven while the other titans stopped and turned around to see what was happening. " Something's not right here…. I am sensing something but im not entirely sure what." Raven said looking up from the ground to Beastboy. Beastboy could now sense something too from his animal instincts… there was something wrong here but what?
Slade dropped down from a roof right by Beastboy and Raven. "Surprised?" Slade said menace sally as he swung his hand and Raven. Raven had just enough time to block her head from getting hit but not her stomach. Raven went flying backwards landing on her back. She winced in pain. " Raven!" BB yelled just dodging a hit from Slade. "Titans go!" Robin yelled and all the other titans came running over to fight Slade. When all the towns people heard those two words and turned to see what was happening…they knew to flee from the scene for the TEEN TITANS were about to fight. Everyone ran away from that street.
BB ran over to Raven and helped her up. "Are you alright?" BB asked as he painfully let go of Raven's hand. He knew she did not like much human contact. "Im fine" BB was about to say something else but Raven had flew off to join in the battle of trying to beat Slade. BB, surprised, decided to go help to. Slade at the moment had just dodged Cyborg's sonic blast. "Honestly Cyborg… every time I come you get Lazier and out of date." Slade said. Cyborg in remark said, "Awe yeah? Well come and tell that to my face you..." he couldn't finish is sentence because Slade came and Punched him the face. Cyborg went flying back on to the ground right in front of Beastboy. Beastboy looked down at Cyborg then back at Slade and morphed into a t-rex. Beastboy growled with his might roar echoing through the city, and started to go after Slade. Slade just stood there until Beastboy got close enough then leaped into the air and landed on Beasboys snout. Slade pulled out a taser and tased Beastboy. Surprisingly enough the little taser Slade had , had enough bolts of energy to take him down. BB landed on the ground with a big thud causing an earthquake like simulation. Bb morphed back into his normal self and Slade was about to hit him when Raven yelled " Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" and her energy formed a claw that came out and grabbed Slade and threw him 13 feet away from Beastboy. Slade surprisingly landed on his feet and retorted, "Honestly you think you can stop me Raven? How can you stop me if you can't even control your own emotions?" Raven helped Bb up and looked at Slade with anger. Her eyes started to glow white and she was about to pick him up and throw him into a building but Slade stopped her by saying, "ugh ugh ugh Raven!" and threw a little silver ball at them. The ball landed in front of Beastboy and Raven and exploded with gasses purring out of it before raven could move BB and herself. The two coughed violently.
Robin threw one of his bird-a-rangs at Slade's head and it hit him. Slade turned around to see his attacker right in his face with a Bo stick. Slade barley stopped the bow stick from hitting his face and threw the Bo stick and Robin over his body and slammed him on the ground. Slade had now pinned Robin to the ground. Starfire saw and would not stand for this. " LET HIM GO!" Starfire said as she threw star bolts at Slade. Slade dodged them with Robin in his hands." Careful,… I wouldn't want you to hurt your Robin." Slade said as he picked Robin up into the air and angled him at Starfire. Immediately she stopped Firing. Raven Encased Slade in her dark energy, and Robin took the opportunity to back flip out of his hands and take out one of his Freezing disks. He threw the Freezing disk at Slade and Raven stopped her energy from encasing him. The disk hit Slades feet and the ice grew and encased him up to his torso. Robin ran over and took of Slades mask to find a screen behind it. Slade popped up on the screen and laughed evilly saying, " Well done titans, you have captured me…only one problem…I wasn't real!" "Figures" Cyborg said coming over to see the Slade bot. "Good bye titans…O and so I don't leave my favorite teens empty handed Ill give you a clue as to what im planning." The Slade bots hand reached up to Robin and handed him a little golden heart locket that had a crack in it. self destruct in 5-4- Robin jumped out of the way of the bot. 3-2-1- BOOM All the titans were standing together now looking at the destroyed Slade bot. "ok… why does Slade always send his bots to do everything? Is he a chicken or something?" BB asked as he turned into a chicken mockingly then back into human form. Raven just rolled her eyes at him and looked to Robin. "So what do you think that means Robin?" Raven said pointing at the locket. "I don't know… but we better get back to the tower so I can do some research on it." They all looked at him worryingly. Robin noticed this and decided to make it sound better, than him being all crazy determined. "You want to help Star?" the titans relaxed a bit but CY and BB grinned. "O…id love to robin!" the titans turned to leave back to the tower… not knowing that there was still something wrong. Something that can not be seen. Something to do with a boy and a girl.
