Okay… Let's get back to the story!!! (runs off-screen)
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Beast Boy fell face-down unto the red carpet with a thump, a trail of smoke coming from the small ray gun Terra held in her gloved hand. She wiped the tears in her eyes with the back of her left hand as she placed the gun back in its holster.
I didn't want to this…
But I had to…
And this time, I didn't really have a choice..
Terra took a deep breath and proceeded to go to Raven, a test tube filled with glowing green liquid swimming inside.
I just hope I'm not too late…
She was about to go through the door which held the hospital wing, but she heard a familiar voice coming from the communicator in her pocket.
She flipped the communicator open and saw a skull-like mask on the screen. "Red X? What's going on?" Yeah, why aren't you busy distracting Slade and the other Titans? "It won't be long before Slade finds out you're back at the tower. You have to get out of there… and fast."
"Hold on, X. I'm almost there." She already had her hand on the control panel and was ready to push the entrance button… until Red X gave her some terrifying news.
"The Titans are-"
"Oh no! Friend Beast Boy!!!" Starfire's voice exploded in the quiet tower and Terra panicked. She dropped her communicator in shock and ran towards the window across the hospital wing doors.
Darn it…
She swiftly climbed out of her window and jumped on a floating rock platform below her without hesitation.
"I just hope Slade doesn't find out about this…" Terra gulped as she hurriedly made her way home, not knowing that this was only the beginning of what was still to come.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"He's just been knocked out, but he'll be fine." Cyborg said as they watched their unconscious friend laying on the hospital bed next to Raven's. "Who could have done such a horrible thing to friend Beast Boy?" Starfire asked in her usual innocent tone.
"Titans, report to the surveillance room… NOW." Robin's voice came from the intercom (AN: wow, where did that come from?) Starfire and Cyborg looked at each other for a few seconds before following their leader's orders.
The mechanical man and the alien princess reached a room with one of the walls filled with monitors. Yes, this was the surveillance room, where Robin spent most of his time checking the scanners for any traces of criminals…
"What is it, friend Robin?" Starfire and Cybrog now stood on either side of Robin, whose eyes were focused on the biggest screen in the center of all the other monitors.
He had been watching a footage of two figures fighting in the main room, which was still as messy as it was at the moment. One of them was Beast Boy, and the other was…
"Ravager X." Cyborg folded his arms as Robin shook his head. "No, it isn't Ravager X."
"I am afraid I do not understand, Robin. Is that not the 'ravaging of x'?" Cyborg had to agree with Starfire. That was Ravager X beating Beast Boy on the screen… wasn't it?
Beast Boy had Ravager X pinned down and Starfire gave a loud gasp as she recognized the girl's long, blonde hair once the cap flew off.
She appeared to be just as shocked as Beast Boy, who backed away from the girl while she unmasked herself.
"Terra…" The three Titans chorused along with Beast Boy, except that Robin's voice had a more confident tone in it.
"This cannot be. Terra is our friend, she would never betray us!!!" Starfire insisted but Robin stood his ground, "But she did, and there's only one thing we can do about criminals." He narrowed his eyes at both of his friends and he clenched his fists.
"And this time, we have no choice but to bring her down… even if that's the last thing we'll ever do."
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The next day…
Terra and Red X were having breakfast at a quaint McDonalds close to the latter's apartment, since he was pretty much out of food by now. Obviously, the two weren't very happy about last night's results, but they felt more relaxed now that a chemical analysis back at Slade's lab showed that Raven had at least a week more before things go out of hand, giving them more time to think things through.
They sat down by the glass wall, in a table in the corner so as not to draw attention to themselves.
The two made sure to wear civilian clothes to make sure no one would find out who they were. Terra was clad in a slightly fitting gray hoodie and denim jeans-which she actually borrowed from Red X, since her clothes were back at the Tower.
Terra got a good look at her partner, who was taking a sip of his coke float, as she raised the burger to her mouth. He definitely wasn't what she had expected him to be.
Red X was a dashing young man, which was pretty much an understatement.
He was one of the most handsome guys Terra had ever seen. The teenager had black hair which was messed up in all the right places, and his deep-set azure eyes only added to his already attractive face. He wore a green hoodie and a pair of faded denim jeans.
"I guess we need a second take then." Red X said in a cocky voice, suprising Terra as she swallowed a bit of her burger. She was already steamed at the fact that she had spoiled her one chance of saving her teammate's life, and this didn't make the situation any better.
"Shut up, X. It's not like you helped that much either, y'know!!!" Terra shouted as she collapsed on the couch, her voice filled with a spite which reminded Red X of Slade himself.
Red X decided to change the subject and take his partner's mind off the already heavy matter at hand. "Please, call me Wheeler." He asked, sitting across Terra, who was unnaturally silent.
"Is… Is that your real name?"
Red X nodded and smiled, "It was the only name my parents could think at the time, I guess…" Terra grinned back at him, "That's a nice name."
"You think so?" Terra nodded and placed her half-finished burger down.
Unfortunately, his goal to keep Terra preoccupied failed as he noticed Terra lean back against her seat and took a deep breath filled with sadness.
"I just can't believe it… This is the second time I've betrayed the Teen Titans, and this time, it's worse…"
Red X couldn't stand to see Terra like this. She was a nice kid and she didn't deserve what has happening right now. They may have had their own reasons to work for the dark side, but hers wasn't much of a choice. She was forced to do it. And it was all Slade's fault.
And then an idea hit him.
An idea so crazy, it might actually work.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Okay, sorry if that chapter sucked and stuff, but I've been pretty busy lately and I haven't in the game for a while, but I promise, the other chapters will be WAY better!!!
Guess you have to tune in next time to find out what Red X and Terra have in store for the Teen Titans and if they can actually still save Raven's life. Looks like Slade's having bad luck with his apprentices again!!! (evil laugh)
Thanks for reading… And don't forget to review!!!
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
