Chapter 4
He tipped his hat in greeting. "My name is Alistor. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Beast Boy laughed. "Alistor huh? Nice to meet ya." He said, extending a hand, which Alistor shook. He looked over at Raven and saw her staring blankly ahead with her eyes half closed. "Raven?" he asked, shaking her a little. "Are you okay?"
"Hmm?" Raven said, opening her eyes. She looked up at Beast Boy's worried look. "Oh. I'm fine." She finally answered. She closed her eyes wearily and rubbed her temples. "Just a little tired. I just need to make some tea." Standing up she headed to the kitchen. Beast Boy's worried looked didn't waver as she walked out the door.
Alistor glanced between the door and Beast Boy a few times. He looked confused, like a hard question was stumping him. Then his eyes bulged as realization set in. Interesting he thought.
He chuckled a bit, causing Beast Boy to turn around. "What?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing." Alistor replied, still laughing a little.
"Come on dude! What's so funny?"
Alistor raised an eyebrow in amusement. "It's nothing really." He assured, closing his eyes. After a moment he opened an eye. "You really care for her do you not?" he asked softly.
Beast Boy blushed a bright shade of red and waved his arms around. "What! No! Um…she…I…" looking at Alistor, Beast Boy could tell he wasn't buying it. He sighed. "Is it that obvious?"
Alistor chuckled again. "Actually no. I only saw it because of your little slip up while you were watching her leave. You hide it pretty well actually."
Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head and laughed nervously. "Ya well…you learn a thing or two when you live with an empath. She's the one that healed you actually." He added as a side note.
Alistor looked surprised. "Then I'll have to thank her when next I see her."
Beast Boy laughed. But then he stopped suddenly. "Wait a minute! What do you mean you 'saw it'?" he asked, making quotation marks in the air.
Alistor looked abashed. "Ah…yes...ahem…well." He tried to think of a reasonable excuse but couldn't, so he sighed in defeat. "My people can see physical manifestations of the emotions a person emits."
Beast Boy stared at him blankly. "Huh?"
Alistor sweat dropped. "Okay, dumbing down then. My kind can see what people are feeling."
"Ohhhh." Beast Boy said. He still didn't get it.
"And what exactly is your kind?" A stern voice asked, causing Beast Boy and Alistor to jump.
"Dude!" Beast Boy screamed. Whipping around he saw Robin standing in the door way. Despite Beast Boy's outburst, Robin just walked into the room, waiting for an answer to his question.
Alistor could feel Robin watching him expectantly. He tipped his hat lower and waved a finger back and forth. "Now, now sir. It's impolite to ask such things without introducing yourself first." He said with amusement.
Robin smirked. "Robin." He said. "And you're Alistor."
"Ah. I assume it was Miss Raven who told you?"
"Yeah." Robin answered. Then he scowled. "Now are you going to answer me?"
Alistor sighed. "I'm terribly sorry Robin. But I don't think I'm quite ready to tell that much about myself yet." He looked up and met the young leader's stare. "However I can assure you that I'm not your enemy."
They stared at each other a little bit longer until Robin shrugged and let it slide…for now. "Fine. You can talk when you're ready." He looked at Alistor questioningly. "But is that your power? Seeing other people's emotions?"
Alistor placed a gloved hand over his eyes. "No it's not. I actually thought that I had lost this ability. I guess Miss Raven healed more than she thought." He closed his eyes behind his hand. "Ah. It seems I spoke to soon." He said in soft surprise. "Even now I can feel it slipping away again." He lowered his hand and smiled softly. "I guess I really have been here too long." He opened his eyes and saw Robin and Beast Boy staring at him. "Oh don't mind what I just said." He said little flustered and waving a hand around. Beast Boy looked confused and Robin raised an eyebrow. He decided to change the subject. "To answer your question Robin, my powers are of a magical variety."
"Magic?"
"Yes magic." Alistor raised a hand. "For instance…" he narrowed his eyes in concentration. His fingers started to glow and blue energy formed in front of his hand. He moved his fingers slightly and the energy formed a smaller version of the shield that protected Raven against Dr. Light. "This is the most basic of spells." Alistor explained. "I usually use it to defend, but it's actually, quite useful when knocking out an opponent."
Robin and Beast Boy looked at the shield in wonder. "What are you doing?" an annoyed voice asked.
"Ahh!" Alistor yelled, losing concentration and causing the energy to fade. Beast Boy yelped in surprise and Robin turned around, seeing and annoyed Raven behind them.
"You should be resting." Raven said with a scowl. "Just because I healed your wounds doesn't mean your body's fine."
"But I feel just fine." Alistor said meekly. Then his vision began to swim. "Uh oh…" he mumbled before passing out in the bed.
Raven turned to the two superhero teens. "Out." She said menacingly. They nodded their heads before practically running out of the room, almost crashing into Cyborg who was coming to check on Alistor.
He raised an eyebrow, "Don't ask." Raven said before following them out of the room.
