A Buried Childhood
Chapter four: That can't be a 5 year old!
It was very busy at Titans Tower. Robin, Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy were all cleaning their own room after Raven's little trip around the tower.
Robin was finished first for his room was the least messy. He just had to clean up his so many outfits. After having done that Robin left the room and decided to start cleaning the common room which was covered with pancakes.
First Robin decided to check on the other titans.
#
Beast Boy was cursing under his breath as he gathered the shredded pieces of his sheets and tossed them in a garbage bin. He used his many comic books to keep his desk standing since it was missing its legs. He gathered all the loose stuff and put them back where they belonged. He put new sheets on his bed and started messing with the closet door which hang on only one hinge now. And he still had to fix his bedroom door which Starfire was so kind to burst through.
A knock on the wall made BB look behind him. 'Need some help?' Robin asked. He noticed how moody BB was at the moment.
'I guess I need some help so come in. Don't let the door hit you on the way in' BB said joking a bit. Robin grinned, glad that BB was not to moody.
Together they worked on the closet door and the bedroom door. After 20 minutes they fixed them. BB would check on Starfire and Robin would check on Cyborg who would be in a very bad mood.
#
'Oh man! You must be joking!' Cyborg nearly shouted in frustration as the machine he was fixing sparked heavily and died on him.
Robin carefully walked in avoiding the many wires. 'Cyborg need some help?' Robin asked while pushing through the forest of wires.
Cyborg turned around and sighed in frustration. 'I could use some technical help so if you have an extra Cyborg to help me, that would be great' Cyborg replied.
'Sorry I don't. I might not be technical, but I can still help you. Even if it's just handing you stuff or holding some of these wires away' Robin said. Cyborg agreed he could help.
Together they started fixing what they could and Robin helped as much as he could.
#
BB stood in front of Starfire's door. He heard someone complaining inside. The door opened and BB was met with a pile of feathers.
'Star…fire…wh.at..are…you..do…ing?' BB said through coughs from the many feathers. Starfire appeared covered in feathers as well and she looked rather annoyed.
'What am I doing? Can you not see? I am trying to clean my room, but it is not going as planned and Silkie is not helping' Starfire said sounding near a break down.
'Alright. Why don't you put Silkie in my room and I'll help you clean your room' BB said pulling some feathers off his head. To his surprise Starfire hugged him tightly.
'Thank you friend Beast Boy. You are most helpful' Starfire said. BB smiled as Starfire retreated back into the room. Before BB could walk inside as well she was back and pushed Silkie in his arms.
BB got the hint and brought Silkie to his room. He returned to Starfire's room and started gathering her shredded sheet pieces while Starfire desperately tried to gather the feathers.
#
After half a day of work they were done with the rooms. All four titans walked together to the common room. When they entered they noticed the pancake all over the place.
'Oh man!' Cyborg complained.
'Dude I've had enough!' BB followed with his own complain. Starfire sighed as did Robin.
'Well we better get started' Robin said. All four began working on cleaning the common room. Cyborg got rid of the demolished television while BB, Starfire and Robin cleaned the room from pancakes.
After Cyborg got rid of the television he left to go check on Raven who was a sleep in the med bay. Cyborg grinned as he left the room and heard BB complain about it.
#
Cyborg opened the med bay door and found it empty! Raven was not on the bed and nowhere else in the room. Cyborg used the communicator to contact the others, but stopped himself in time. Their communicators were damaged and needed fixing, also courtesy of Raven's power.
Cyborg sighed and made his way to the common room to let them know she was missing.
#
Robin was working on the walls standing on a ladder. BB was scrubbing the floor while Starfire flew up to clean the ceiling.
'Ew!' Starfire shouted as a bit of pancake fell on her head. She shook her head fast causing the piece to fly off her and land on BB's head.
'Hey!' BB yelled back at her. Starfire started apologising while BB kept saying it was alright. Robin couldn't help but laugh at how they were acting. He lost his balance from the laughing and started falling from the ladder (he was nearly on the top of the ladder).
'Robin!' Starfire yelled as she tried to catch him. Robin was close to hitting the ground and Starfire wasn't close enough to catch him.
Suddenly Robin stopped falling inches above the ground. He looked to his side and saw little Raven standing near the door aiming one of her hands at Robin. Robin looked down and noticed he was laying on black energy. Raven carefully released him and Starfire hugged him tightly.
'I'm okay Starfire. Thanks Raven' Robin said as Starfire finally let him go. BB shrugged his shoulder and went back to work.
'I could have done that as well' BB mumbled under his breath. Raven heard him however and let some pancake explode in his face.
Robin and Starfire got in a fit of laughter as they saw BB's face covered in pancake. BB looked annoyed at Raven, but the five-year old girl didn't show any emotion. She didn't look angry back, nor did she seem to have the need to laugh and certainly not ashamed. She just had an expressionless face like she had when she was 15 years.
Robin and Starfire finally stopped laughing and noticed the strange stare BB gave Raven. They noticed as well that she didn't show any emotion.
At that moment Cyborg burst into the room (letting the door open and not push it loose) and in his run didn't see Raven. He ran right against her and tripped over her. Raven herself was pushed hardly on the ground from his weight. Cyborg sat up and looked what happened. A few meters from him lay little Raven which he tripped over.
'Oh no! Raven!' Cyborg said loudly. He went over to her side and carefully pulled her up. The others crowded around them. 'Hey you okay?' Cyborg asked her. Raven looked up without any emotion, not even pain.
'I am fine' Raven said as she gently pulled free from Cyborg and grabbed a piece of cloth and started cleaning the floor.
The other titans looked a bit confused and unbelievingly, but let it rest for now. All five of them worked together in cleaning the common room.
#
'Finally we're done!' BB said as he sank down on the couch. Cyborg did the same. Starfire landed on a kitchen stool while Robin sat down on the stairs near the door.
'We are victorious' Starfire said rather exhausted. She tried to be cheery, but even Starfire was tired now.
'We can't even play a video game now' BB continued to complain. Cyborg agreed and felt like complaining as well.
'It's getting late, so maybe we should go to sleep' Robin suggested. No one argued against it and they left for their rooms.
#
BB was the first to leave and they were sure they wouldn't see him until late tomorrow. Starfire giggled a bit and left together with Robin. Cyborg stayed behind a bit and looked at Raven who sat emotionless on a chair.
'You okay?' Cyborg asked her. Raven looked up trying to cover she was startled by the question. Cyborg noticed however and felt glad she showed some emotion.
'I am fine' Was Raven's answer again. She didn't say more. She only spoke when someone asked her something. Cyborg found it a bit strange for a five year old.
'If you need something, just ask me' Cyborg said to her. Raven simply nodded that she understood and jumped off the chair.
She walked past him and went to her room. Cyborg followed to the hall and left for his own room.
#
Raven entered her room. She noticed how dark it was. She felt good in the dark. Her powers were negative energy and she just figured she must be a dark person. She got ready for bed and used her powers to get on the bed, not wanting to shred the sheets again.
She lay down and closed her eyes hoping she would sleep peacefully, but Raven knew that would never happen. Slowly she fell a sleep and was trapped within her nightmare.
#
Raven walked inside a volcano. All around her was stone, but strangely no lava. She felt warm and it kept getting warmer. She reached a big circular room.
Suddenly the floor broke under her feet and she fell down fast. Raven screamed as she was rushing down. She forced herself to look down and saw a big pool of lava beneath her. Fear overwhelmed her and she couldn't activate her power.
Raven screamed as she hit the lava and fell through. The intense heat stopped her from breathing and she felt her skin burn. She opened her eyes and saw she was inside the lava. Suddenly four red eyes appeared and looked straight into her soul.
'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!' Raven screamed causing her voice to collapse from the strain.
#
'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!' Raven screamed. Robin rushed inside the room as Raven jolted up from her bed and sat sweating and afraid on the bed.
'Raven! What's wrong?' Robin asked as he went over to her. Raven immediately pushed her fear away and looked emotionless at Robin.
'Nothing, just a bad dream' Raven said emotionless which annoyed Robin since he clearly saw she was scared.
Starfire and Cyborg ran inside the room, but before they could ask Robin spoke. 'She had a nightmare' Robin said. Starfire flew over to Raven and hugged the girl.
'Oh poor friend Raven' Starfire said. Cyborg noticed the irritation in Raven's face as Starfire hold her so tightly. It wasn't just because she hated being touched, it seemed it pained her somehow.
Beast Boy made an appearance as he barged into the room. Suddenly black energy swirled around the room. The three boys looked worried.
'Eh..Star? Could you let go of Raven?' Robin asked carefully. Starfire was confused but let go. She pulled back and the energy disappeared.
BB sighed in relieve as Starfire looked confused at why Raven would use her power. Robin and Cyborg glance to each other trying to see if they both thought the same.
'Friend Raven, why did you use you power?' Starfire asked. Cyborg and Robin tensed up. Clearly they were the only ones who realised Raven felt uncomfortable being hugged.
'It was accidental' Raven said. BB gasped at her choice of words.
'Dude! Accidental!? This can't be a five year old! Have you ever heard a five year old talk like that!?' BB nearly shouted. Robin and Cyborg glared at BB who shrugged his shoulders and went quiet.
Raven couldn't help but glare at him as well. 'Just because you're an idiot doesn't mean others are' Raven said. Everyone else in the room was surprised and slightly shocked as Raven had spoken.
BB felt his anger rising, but Cyborg quickly pulled him out of the room. Robin said she should go back to sleep and left as well. He waited outside for Starfire to get outside, but she stayed inside a bit longer.
'Raven? Can I ask you something?' Starfire asked gently. Raven shrugged her small shoulders. 'You said you used your powers accidental when I hugged you. Does hugging bother you?' Starfire asked her.
Raven felt hurt as she remembered why she didn't like it. 'It was nothing' She said trying to sound convincing. Starfire looked at her questioningly. 'I don't mind hugging' Raven said. 'It just hurt in my heart' Raven thought, but she didn't tell her that.
Starfire smiled at her and left the room to go to sleep as well.
#
Everyone was sleeping again in Titans Tower. In a certain dark room an orange light shone and disappeared seconds later.
The sun began shining outside and the titans would surely awake soon, except BB who slept late today. Inside that certain dark room a girl awoke to find out she changed again.
This was the fourth chapter. I'm sorry it wasn't very exciting. I didn't really know what to do in this chapter. The next chapter will have more excitement.
