Even though it'd been years since they'd heard the buzzer of the titan's alert Raven and Beast Boy's instincts kicked in almost immediately. And they joined the team as they went to face this foe. Raven silently praying it wasn't the woman who'd sent them here.
Raven had no such luck. The woman was there, the mask covering almost her entire face, all but her mouth and chin, black with silver mesh sections for her eyes, her curly blond hair streaming out behind her. The outfit she wore was skintight, black with silver pieces along her sides. She was wearing glittery gloves and boots with a large gold pocket watch design on her chest. It was one of the most gaudy outfits Raven had ever seen, and Raven had seen a lot of terrible supervillain outfits. All it did was hide how dangerous this enemy was.
"Beast Boy! Raven! How happy to see you've arrived! I do hope you've been enjoying your stay." Her voice was mocking, with an edge to it. All of Raven's instincts told her that this woman was one of the most dangerous enemys she'd ever faced. And she could feel the hatred and twisted joy coming off this woman.
With no warning she launched into an attack a giant gold watch on a string hurtling towards them. Raven quickly put up a shield around the Titans.
Robin took this as an opportunity "Titans Go!" he shouted, bringing out his staff as he did so. Quickly the Titans took turns attacking the woman, and failed miserably. None of them got even close to her, she seemed to effortlessly block everything they threw at her. Starfire's starbolts did nothing to her, and Cyborg's canon bounced right back at him, hitting him squarely in the chest. Neither Beast Boy's attacks as an animal nor Robin's flying attacks managed to land and Raven seemed to be having trouble even basically controlling her powers.
And then Raven and Beast Boy from the future joined the fight. They were all amazed by what they saw. Raven used her powers to block the woman's heavy pocket watch whip while Beast Boy used the opportunity to land blows. Beast Boy was a green blur, constantly changing animals in order to avoid attacks then turning into something larger to pack a punch. Then while she reeled back raven would use more of her powers to attack the woman. And Raven in particular noticed that she seemed to be much more powerful. Her attacks had more force than she could have ever attempted, and immediately wanted to know how this was possible.
Even though the two worked well together and were obviously competent fighters the battle was difficult even for them. It became obvious that even though the Titans were considerably stronger in the future this enemy was unlike almost anything they had faced previous. Of course that didn't mean the group of teenagers sat back while their friend's did all the work.
The whole area became a flurry of activity as the mysterious woman started faltering. Her movements became less quick and their attacks started hitting her more often. Just as suddenly as the battle had started it ended, the villain restrained by Raven's powers then quickly by ropes and handcuffs.
She was quickly transported to the Titan's Tower for questioning. Having her in titan's tower made both Raven's feel uneasy. It was like having someone constantly shouting hate at you, both of them stayed far, far away from the place she was being held.
Something about this felt very wrong to Raven, and she brought up her concerns to Beast Boy that night. "Beast Boy, there's something wrong here I can just feel it."
"What do you mean?" He asked her, looking concerned.
"I can't put my finger on it but something's wrong here. Why would she send us here? And if we were helping everyone take her down why didn't she send us back?"
"Maybe her powers take a while to work? She did send us here overnight."
"And that's another thing. She's supposedly got time powers, but she never used them to her advantage during the fight. She hit us with a ridiculous looking watch sure, but if she can control time then why didn't she?" she sat down on the bed, "I don't know what it is but I just can't get rid of this feeling."
Beast Boy had long ago learned to listen to Raven when she had a strong feeling about something. "Look why don't we go to bed and in the morning you can tell our fearless leader about your suspicions. Robin's always been good at detective stuff and maybe you can help him interrogate her. I think I'm going to have a talk with myself tomorrow. And boy does that sound weird."
"Yeah, you're right. About both things, I know how hard Terra was on you. But please don't tell him she gets better. I know we're trying to be honest but I don't think that be a good thing for preserving the timeline. Man you're right talking about time travel always sounds so weird."
"I love you," he said smiling at her.
"Love you too," she said softly.
And they crawled into bed, succumbing to the exhaustion that always set in after a difficult fight.
A.N. Okay, so, I don't want to be one of those authors that begs for reviews, but I'm going to anyway. Please review it makes me super happy! Also if you've noticed the last couple chapters Starfire does not call anyone "Friend (insert name here)" and nor will she ever. That's honestly my biggest pet peve in the whole world when it comes to Teen Titans fanfiction. If Starfire ever does that in anything I write assume I've been kidnapped and replaced with some sort of clone. So some things about the actual chapter! I really hoped you liked the fight scene, I worked really hard on it and I hope you enjoyed it. It's honestly the first one I've ever written. And I hope I described the mysterious clock lady well, it's hard to put pictures in my brain to words. So yeah, I hope everyone likes this and continue's to read!
