Chapter 7
Shock
Crow groans in pain as he slowly lifts himself up from the floor. Robin gets in close and starts to question him.
"What Happened!?" He demanded. Crow gets onto his knees holding his head.
"uhh..I dont. RAVEN!!!" He shouts then takes off down the hall towards the medical room. The other Titans follow close behind. the doors slides open and looking in the titans find a disturbing scene. The walls blackened and the computers are all destroyed with broken screens and and frayed wires hanging out. The bed she was laying in is empty and untouched minus a little dirt. Crow stands in the doorway. Broken and sad.
"no..." he mutters. Robin walks up right behind him.
"Crow what happened?" Robin asks. Crow responds without looking at robin.
"you not gonna believe me."
"Look just tell us." Robin says growing impatient. Crow takes a deep breath knowing how crazy he's going to sound.
"it was Cyborg." He Says the titans eyes widen and they all gasp. at this point they didn't know what to believe.
"we were monitoring you on the computer and out of nowhere it shorted out and Cyborg knocked me back against. the wall. I thought it was an accident but as I got up he blasted me with his sonic cannon....." Crow fades into the memory. Being shocked from the sonic blast hs is momentarily deafened and disoriented. he stumbles for a moment and his adrenaline kicks in right when he hears Cyborg sonic cannon charge up for another blast.
"Cyborg what are you doing!? STOP!!!" he screams at Cyborg as he then dives behind the couch. to avoid it. He counter attacks by slamming Cyborg against a wall with a solid energy blast. and holds him there. he attempts to reason with him but before he can say anything, he notices that Cyborg is not blue. He is completely red. Cyborgs shoulders open up and missile blast out towards Crow. He dodges most of then by speedily jumping and flipping out of the way. The missiles explode all around him. the last one hits him and he is throw to the ground with a painful grunt. In and eerie robotic way Cyborg heads down the Hall and picks up Raven off of the exam table. The room is filled with smoke from the destroyed equipment. The fire alarm pierces Crows ears and he stumbles along the ground from the shock of the attack. He collapses in for a brief moment he sees Cyborgs one red eye looking at him through the silhouette which then turns and fades away.
"It couldn't be Cyborg." Robin shouts.
"then what else could it have been. I was sitting right there when it happened. I saw him the whole time." Crow says back.
"Well maybe he was an evil zombie or something." Beast Boy interjects. They all just look at him with an eyebrow raised.
"Can we not look at the security footage" Starfire suggests.
"Can't. All the computers in this place are fried." Crow says.
"Then how do we know we can trust you?" Robin says suspiciously
"Look we've already been over this. I told you guys I would defend her with my life. UH!!!" Crow grunts as Robin slams him against a wall with a Bataan pushing up against his throat.
"I don't have time for this. Everytime your around her something goes wrong. You had your change to gain our trust and now you blame it on Cyborg?!!" Robin angrily shouts
"I told you what happened." Crow says
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!" Crow then kicks Robin thereby freeing him from robins hold. Robin punches Crow in the stomach and the face almost knocking him down. Crows eyes flash red and he blasts Robin with one swift move and Robin falls on the ground in pain. With his still red eyes Crow picks up Robin by the collar and just before he can speak Beast Boy pulls him off. Throwing him back. Crow punches back. Beast Boy dodges it and turns into an anaconda and wraps up Crow and holds him on the ground. Robin gets in his face and continues to interrogate.
"CALM DOWN! NOW!!" Robin Starts and is shortly interrupted by a blast to the ceiling from Starfire.
"Stop this! We are friends and this is no way to act toward each other. It will not get us any closer to Raven." Starfire pleads with her team mates.
"Yeah, your one to talk." Crow begins. Still constricted by Beast Boy. "I remember it now. That Blast. That voice. You're the one who attack us in that building." Crow says with a shortess of breath. Starfire takes a moment, Confused by the allegation.
"But, I was with Robin Cyborg and Beast Boy. I would never do anything so horrible." She says.
"yeah dude she was with us the whole time." Beast Boy says just after freeing him.
"Then who..?"
"Blackfire" Robin intrudes. Crow looks at him with a puzzled face. Noticing this, Starfire explains who she is.
"She is my sister. And she is not very nice."
"It's the only explanation but it just makes no sense. We'll have to track her down." Robin says.
"I'll go find her." Starfire says.
"Are your sure?" Beast Boy asks.
"She won't be hard to find." She responds walking down to hall to leave. Robin, Crow, and Beast Boy stand there thinking about what to do. Robin is the first to make a suggestion.
"Beast Boy, do you think you can track the sent?"
"I'm on it." Beast Boy says and then turns into a wolf. He heads down the hallway sniffing.
"Crow, is there anything you can do?"
"I might be able to contact her. I'll look in her room, maybe there is something there I can use. How long until you can get the tower operational again?"
"Hours. but I better get started. I you find anything you'll know where I'll be." and with a nod the two walk away from each other. Robin going to fix the main control panel and Crow into Raven's room.
Looking around on the book shelf Crow is trying to find a spell or anything that he can use to contact her. with no luck he begins to scan the room. He spots Ravens mirror on her night stand. He is the only person Raven ever told about what the mirror does until Beast Boy and Cyborg stumbled into her mind with it.
"Come on where are you?" He closes his eyes and puts the mirror up to his forehead. He is over taken by visions from Raven's mind.
In the security room Robin managed to find a working monitor and is able to access the backup drives of the security footage. He gets a feed from the camera in the room that Cyborg and Crow were in when the incident occurred.
"No. It can't be." He says quietly to himself. Then door slides open. Crow is standing there in the doorway. He only has on ething to say.
"I found her."
