Sooo someone pointed out that my chapter 4 was just a repeat of chapter 2. I have no idea how I did that... So here's the actual ending. Its sadly kind of bland but yeah. .' It was my first story coming out of years of writers block.
A couple days had passed. I'd traded with some people for some food and mostly just wondered the streets of the city. At night I would meditate somewhere high up and channel my energy. Sometimes here and there I would help police if I saw a crime happen. Just happening to trip whoever seemed to be running the wrong way. Sometimes big crimes took place, buildings would get blown up or big banks robbed and I watched quietly as Batman and Robin saved the day. It just wasn't my place to step into their territory. I wasn't a hero anyway. That was until the day they couldn't handle the villain. I'd never seen him before he was well a living cinder-block. And he had the two trapped under a building. People we're trapped, crying out for help. And the two simply were strong enough. I struggled with it. What did I do? Did I show my face? Was I supposed to save them? He ripped the wall off another building and laughed. "Any last words?" He threw the large wall toward them and I moved quickly. Stepping in between them I muttered my mantra, "Azerath Metrion Zenthus!" And with that the large chunk of wall was flying back toward him. I turned toward the guys and placed my hand on the cement covering them lifting it up enough to free everyone in the ruble. "Raven," Robin breathed. "Your welcome," I said softly smiling and held up my hand stopping a flying stop sign. I turned around and smiled. "Todays just not a good day for you," I said softly and flew at him. Landing hit after hit relentlessly till he wasn't even fighting back anymore and with that I simply pushed him. He fell over and that was it. He wasn't getting back up."
"Guess you don't need that back up," a deep voice said and I looked over. Superman? What was he? Had they already called for help? I had exposed myself for nothing. "Apparently not, I didn't think we'd be seeing her again," Bruce said softly and I floated down to the ground. "You know her," he asked and Bruce nodded. "Sorry to have interfered I will go now," I said softly and turned to walk away. Robin grabbed my hand, "you don't have to keep running." "I appreciate it, but I'll be fine." "The authorities will want to talk to you," Superman said firmly. "No thanks. See you boys around." I cloaked myself in my aura and disappeared teleporting to the other side of the city. I had to lay low for a while. I should have known they would have had help coming. I sighed softly and found a random skyscraper roof to sit on. I closed my eyes and started meditating it was gonna be a long night to set my emotions straight. Why is it when I'm around him things feel better? I liked being near Robin I couldn't deny that. Or that he played some sort of major role in my future which is the biggest reason I didn't need him caught up in my life.
"Raven,"a voice called softly. I opened my eyes and looked back. "How did you find me," I groaned. "It's the best place to see the sunset and sunrise in the city. I figured I'd start here first. Just luck," he said softly and sat next to me. "Well what do you want?" "Thank you for saving us earlier." "You would have been fine." "Maybe so, but I mean still you saved us." I shrugged and he sighed. "I guess just... if you hate us, why bother?" I looked up at him and shook my head. "I don't hate you. I don't trust you but I don't hate you. Just its better this way. People... they are terrible and I mean I'm a monster." "But you're not! Have you met anyone from the justice league or read about them. I think Bruce and I are the only normal ones there. Several aliens, science experiments gone wrong, an amazonian woman. You're not alone Raven. Not like you think you are." "Can I ask you something?" He nodded and I sighed. "Why are you so interested in me?" "Because I can see in your eyes that we aren't that different and I want to help. You're scared, you don't want to make the wrong move, and you don't want to hurt anyone. What if I were to help you? If I helped you become stronger and helped you fight, then it would all be worth it. I'm not afraid, and I know we can do it. Just gotta have a little faith." I shrugged, "I suppose."
So I guess you could call that the start of our friendship. We would meet all the time and do some training. It was nice having someone I could trust. Though the more I trusted him the less I said there really wasn't much to talk about. I just liked being in his presence. Days passed, then weeks, and months. My 17th birthday was coming up and though we were both much stronger. We needed more help he suggested we go to the Justice League. I couldn't say I really wanted them involved but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. So one day we went up to the head quarters and I could instantly feel the tension. They didn't like me being there as much as I didn't want to be there. Apparently someone had already figured me out and they as a whole wanted nothing to do with me. I couldn't say I was surprised. Naturally Robin wasn't deterred and he kept asking though. Going back day by day.
"Richard enough, I get what you're trying to do but you can't make them help. The justice league never changes its mind. That doesn't mean some of its members don't switch teams. What if we made our own team? If we moved somewhere else build our own head quarters. They couldn't say anything about it and we wouldn't be subject to someone else rules," I said softly. He had finally stopped pacing the imaginary circle in the middle of the park where we liked to meet. He smiled and hugged me, "you are brilliant!" I sighed and rolled my eyes, "let go." He laughed and let go of me. "Sorry."
Surprisingly it didn't take long to set our idea up. Bruce bought us an island on the outskirts of jump city on the east coast. A few of the younger members of Justice League decided to join us. A green kid whos name was Garfield and went by Beast Boy he was a shape shifter. An alien girl from Tamera, Kori or Starfire and a guy who'd been in an accident during his senior year. His name Stone but he went by Cyborg seeing since the accident he was ¾ metal. We became the Teen Titans.
