Teen Titans

Mayhem in Mexico

Chapter 4- Something Wicked This Way Comes

Olivia- Seems the Titans have a new villian! But just who is she and what did that spanish dude that hit on Raven have to do with anything? You'll just have to read and see! R&R!

Miles away, Raven and Falcon stirred in their sleep, disturbed by a bad feeling from the beach. Both woke and pushed it off as nothing, as Mirage moved closer towards them…
Falcon left her and Bohusk's room to walk over to Raven's room.

"Raven." Falcon whispered as she entered her sister's room. It was past 4am and this was the third time the blue eyed mage had awoken from nightmares.
"I'm awake." Raven replied, sitting up in her bed. "You have the same feeling I have?"
"That something wicked this way comes? Yeah. I kept having visions and nightmares." Vanessa replied while sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I'll have AJ meditate on the issue later today, in hopes she'll have a vision that will tell us what's going on. For right now, we should try to get some sleep while we can...cause if I know those boys, they'll be up at the crack of dawn doing cannon balls off the diving board.....Except Jhonen would would be lazing around trying to sleep in."
Falcon laughed at her sister's remark and retired back to her own room. She fell asleep quickly, but her nightmares never stopped. Jhonen, who was actually awake when Vanessa woke up, tried to hide the fact that he'd caught on to his girlfriend's back to back nightmares. He stroked her hair absently, trying to lull her into pleasent dreams.
"Fuck, not another problem..... Better not be another ex-girlfriend with a vendetta against me." Jhonen muttered as he tried to go back to sleep.

Raven awoke from her nightmare filled dreams around 10am. She walked into the living room to see Falcon stretched out on the sofa with her iPod in her ears and her arms covering her eyes. Her head rested on Bohusk's arms who had one of Falcon's earbuds in his ear. Raven chuckled slighly at the sight before opening the patio doors. She stepped outside, letting the warm summer air wash over her, filling her senses with tropical scents.
"Buenos dias, seniorita." came a familiar spanish accent. Raven raised her head to find Enrique, the young man she met the day before.
"Hi." Raven said with a blush, noticing he was smiling at her.
"I was hoping that you might have reconsitered my offer?" he asked with hopeful eyes; eyes that Raven couldn't look away from. Their chocolate brown color seemed to intrance her and urge her to say yes. She nodded her head slowly and watched a bigger grin creep it's way onto Enrique's face.
"Then it's a date. I'll pick you up around 6 tonight." Raven blushed again and nodded. Enrique kissed her hand before taking off down the walk way.
From inside the house, Bohusk and Falcon were watching what just happened, Jhonen had a surprisingly serious look on his face. "I don't trust him."
"How come, he seems nice?" Falcon replyed back.
Jhonen had a smirk on his face as he looked at her. "Lilianna ring a bell?" (Reference to my 'Undercover' fic.)
Falcon just sighed a bit before smiling back. "Got me there."
"I know." Jhonen said before kissing her forehead. "Can you please put some Johnny Cash on?"

"Sure, love." she picked her iPod up and flipped over to an album just for Jhonen. She handed him the devise and the other ear bud before standing. Bohusk laied back down on the couch while Falcon went to find her sister.

Raven sat on the steps of the deck, staring out at the ocean.

"So, you're really gonna go out with him?" Falcon asked from behind her. The elder Roth sighed before answering nodding. "But why? I thought you liked Beast..."

"Beast Boy dosen't like me for anything more than a friend, Vanessa." Raven said, cutting Falcon off. "I'm better off dating around...and not dwelling on what never could be."

"That's a load of shit." Falcon growled while rolling her eyes. "You love Gar and he loves you. Do I really have to spell this out for you?"

"Falcon, can you just be happy for me...just this once?" Raven asked, never taking her eyes off the ocean.

"It's not a question of wether or not i'm happy for you, this is about you making a big mistake!"

"If I make a mistake, so be it." Raven got up from her sitting position and turned to go inside. She was 3 steps from the threshold before Falcon grabbed her wrist, holding her still.

"Rachel, you're my sister, and i'll always be happy for you and your choices, even if I don't like or approve of them. All I want is for you to be careful about this guy. He seems a little...strange."

"Thanks for your concern, sister. But I think I can handle myself." Falcon let go of her wrist and Raven walked inside.

Later that evening, Falcon and Starfire engaged in a light sparring match outside near the pool. Falcon had her long violet hair in a low ponytail and wore a pair of Bohusk's camo pants that sat low on her hips, black sports bra, and fingerless sparing gloves. Star had her hair twisted up into a bun, wearing a pink sports bra, red shorts and the same sparring gloves as Falcon. She had just dodged a uppercut from the mage when she heard AJ call out from the balcony above them.

"Vanessa, darling! I think I have a reasoning behind your nightmares last night!"

"Awesome, Argyle! I'll be up in a minute!" Falcon shouted back as she and Starfire headed back inside. But Falcon stopped short as she saw her sister exit the side door and walk down the path to the beach. She wore a simple strapless violet dress that ended about mid-thigh, black sandals and her signature amethyst moon choker that matched Vanessa's.

"Be careful." Falcon whispered into the wind as she watched Rachel assend down to the beach to meet her date.

Olivia- So this chapter is a tiny bit longer than the rest, but I think it gave you a pretty good idea about what to expect next. R&R!
