...And then a bomb dropped on Gotham City and everyone died so it really doesn't matter what happened next.
What? It could happen, maybe...
THIS IS REALLY REALLY LATE!!! gawd, I should have been done this chapter weeks ago...
The first thing I want to say, is I can't write Alfred, like, at all. I totally love that old butler guy, but I can't make him seem realistic :( (but if you think I did a good job of it please tell me, cause that would really cheer me up :D)
Also, I know that there are like ten people who have this story on alert, BUT NEVER REVEIW!!! and that is totally your choice, but please guys, I would really like to know if you still like it, or if you think I'm ruining it, or whatever (even if you want to complain about how long it takes for me to update) but, ya, I would Really appreciate it
hmmm, I Think that's all I had to say... oh this chapter isn't very long either, I just really wanted to stop it there, so sorry
Disclaimer: I do not own the titans, or Batman (that is a very depressing thing to say...)
Now read on!!! (this is a really long a/n...)
OH!!! I just remembered, I MADE IT TO 1000 HITS!!! that was a very cheerful thing for me, thankyou to everyone who's still reading :D
kay, now im done, go read
The rustic smell of blood filled Beastboys nose. From where he stood in the shadows he could see the young girl held in the hero's arms, was it possible he had been unable to save her? Beastboy could also see the girl who had been following clearly, he had slipped earlier today, and she had seen him. Well, not him, he hadn't exactly been himself at the time.
Beastboy watched as the hero made a quick escaped, bringing the wounded girl with him. He returned his attention to Rachel. She seemed rather confused, and was looking around, glancing both towards the roof of the very tall building that Robin and the girl had fallen from, and the shadows where Beastboy hid.
Beastboy feared he may be caught, but a rumble of thunder startled the raven haired girl. She looked at the darkening sky, then took off in the direction of her home. Beastboy transformed into a fly, and chased after her.
Beastboy was not a stalker, he just happened to follow the girl around a lot. He could turn into animals, but even in his human form he had heightened senses, and he could sense power radiating off the girl. She was a possible threat, and when he first saw her Beastboy had decided to follow Rachel out of fear. It hadn't taken him long to discover Rachel was in more danger then she was dangerous.
Being a fly on a wall you learnt the most interesting things.

Robin reached the batcave just seconds before the rain stared pouring. He still carried the unconscious girl. Bruce wouldn't be pleased, he probably should have left her at a hospital or something, but there was a piece of metal in her neck, and if anyone could help it was the Batman. Even with this logic Robin knew he wouldn't get away with bringing someone into the batcave.
He brought the girl to the 'medical bay' part of the batcave, it was always clean and ready, just in case one of the dynamic duo was injured. Laying the girl on one of the white beds Robin realized he didn't even know the girl's name. Pulling a chair up the black haired boy stared pensively at the unconscious girl. In the middle of a crowded street X had gone straight for her. To the eyes of a bystander this wouldn't have been obvious, but from above Robin had seen it all. There was something about this girl, and X had wanted to silence her. Somehow the thief had placed a chip into the back of her neck, assuring that even if Robin could save her, she wouldn't be awake.
The sound of a man clearing his throat snapped Robin out of his musings, and the masked boy nervously turned to see the terrifying face of one angry Batman.
XXXX
Rachel hurried down the deserted streets. Rain fell hard, thundering down fueled by the rage of the gods. Lightning flashed. Shivering Rachel hurried on. She could see her street, her house! She was almost there.
Stopping Rachel glanced over her shoulder, there was nothing, no one, there. Odd... she had sworn that she had felt someone there. She must be imagining things. The violet eyed girl couldn't count how many times within the past year she had been certain that someone had been following her, yet there was nothing there.
XXXX
Pink cat eyes watched as rain hit the window. A storm, what a perfect time to strike. She had received the message an hour ago, and now the only thing to do was to wait until the raven arrived...
XXXX
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" Batman's enraged cry echoed throughout the cave. Robin flinched.
"X tried to kill her! I had to bring her somewhere safe, and it's not like she's going to be waking up anytime soon!" Beneath his mask his electric blue eyes were alight with anger.
"And what happens when she does wake up? Hell Dick, you don't even know her name!"
Alfred cleared his throat, the old butler had been listening to them argue for quite awhile, and frankly, he had had enough. "Sirs, I do believe we ought to put an end to this discussion, what is done is done, now our main concern must be what we will do about it."
Robin sent Alfred a grateful glance. Batman glared at them, mumbled something about ganging up on him, then stormed off, most likely to take out his anger on a poor unsuspecting criminal that was unlucky enough to be breaking the law tonight.
Robin and Alfred exchanged a glance.
"Well Master Dick, I believe we ought to see what we can do for your little friend here."
Robin nodded, "Just give me a sec to get changed." no need to stay in his costume.
XXXX
Dick Grayson's fingers flew across the keyboard as he searched for a record of a girl that could possibly be the one who was currently unconscious in the batcave. His problem wasn't finding someone who looked like her, there were millions of girls who fit her characteristics. Sighing he brought up the next file. It was a perfect match.
Elizabeth Hart.
XXXX
Rachel slowly entered the house, "Hello?" she was late, everyone should be home by now.
"No one's home." Rachel jumped at Jenny's voice. The pink eyed girl stood at the end of the dark hall. Tara stood beside her, a wicked grin on her face. Jenny's hair was pulled into to two pigtail, her pink hair... She wore tights, and a purple dress, with purple boots. She looked downright scary, almost like a thief. Rachel's heart had sped up.
"Jenny? What's going on?" Rachel kept her voice as steady as she could, but it wavered slightly, and Jenny smirked.
"Don't worry Rae, you won't feel a thing." There was a flash of bright pink, and Rachel was barely able to scream before everything went black.
XXXX
Dick sat beside Elizabeth's bed, watching incase there were any changes. She was only thirteen years old, three years younger then himself. She had lived in Gotham her whole life, she got pretty good grades, had lots of friends, and she was pretty much an average, unimportant child. What had she done to draw X to herself?
The alarm went off, and Dick leapt to his feet.
XXXX
Beastboy (in fly form) was barely able to get out of the way as 'Jenny' shot a blast of power at Rachel. She wasn't Jenny anymore, she was Jynx, Slade's pawn. Tara stood beside her. The beautiful blond was another of Slade's worthless pawns, but that was only an assumption on Beastboy's part, he knew nothing about her.
Even if he fought Beastboy knew it would be nothing slight of a miracle if he beat two trained soldiers. So staying in fly form he landed on Rachel's shoulder. He would find a way to help her, somehow, but for now he needed to get into Slade's liar. This was probably the safest and fastest way there.
XXXX
Mrs Cook returned to her home to find her door open, swinging in the harsh rains. She raced inside, already knowing what she would find. Jenny had done well, there were no clues that she could find, and the woman called the police. It was an easy act, one she had been preparing since Rachel had first come to her home...
XXXX
Victor Stone squinted, trying to see the road through the harsh rains. He only had his learners permit, and he knew he shouldn't be driving in weather like this, but it was an emergency. Rachel was missing.
He refused to believe it.
A horn blared, and Victor saw the flash of headlights barreling towards him.
A sickening crash was heard.
Pain, and then, black...
Dunn dunn dunnnn...
plz reveiw
