Episode 10: Time Away
She lay on her bed staring at a photo she made and holding a stuffed animal of a cat. Raven had searched through the clips Robin had of White Dragon before she found the one she liked. It had only been a couple of days since she realized she loved him, and he hadn't shown up again for her to take his picture. She set the picture down and picked up one with them when he was still a cat. She could never stay mad at him when he was a cat. For some reason, she just shifted the anger toward the dragon. She still can do that, because they're the same person. She smiled.
BRINK BRINK BRINK
The alarm went off. Raven set the photo down and focused. She couldn't let her affection for him get in the way of her work. She threw her cloak on and went to join the others.
The Titans arrived on the scene. It was the Hive members again: Mammoth, Jinx, and Gizmo. White Dragon was already there, and he looked like he was just toying with them. Upon see the Titans, he moved to the center room and sent a lightning bolt at each of the Hive members. He gave a yank and pulled all three in. Before they collided with him, White Dragon jumped up and the three collided with each other. They were all stuck back-to-back. Mammoth stood up with Jinx and Gizmo still stuck to his back. White Dragon just looked at Robin and he threw a couple gadgets that tied up all of their arms and Mammoth's feet. Mammoth fell flat on his face. White Dragon touched the rope around their arms and energized it so Mammoth couldn't break it. White Dragon walked over to Raven and stood in front of her. Raven gave small smile and held out her arms. Everyone looked at her puzzled. White Dragon just smiled back and turned into Tiger. He jumped into Raven's arms. Raven then turned around and left. Everyone was speechless, and the others were now left to take the Hive members to jail.
When the others got back to the tower, Raven was sitting on the couch petting Tiger. Tiger just was laying with most of his body on her lap purring.
"So the White Dragon and Tiger is the same person?" Starfire asked.
"Looks that way," Robin answered
"I knew there was something strange about that cat," Beast Boy said in an I told you so tone. "How could she keep him as a pet?"
"Because he knew how to act like a pet and didn't take advantage of his new shape," Raven answered looking back at her friends. Tiger hadn't moved. He seemed to be in a trance created by Raven's touch. Beast Boy seemed to be getting mad.
"Come here, boy," Terra said noticing Beast Boy's anger. Beast Boy immediately turned into a puppy and ran to Terra. Terra picked him up, and he began licking her. Raven smiled at the sight and then looked back down at Tiger.
"Besides, he's my boyfriend." This got everyone's attention. Beast Boy even stopped licking Terra.
"Since when?" Cyborg asked surprised.
"Since Valentine." The questioning continued all afternoon. That night, Tiger laid in his basket until Raven fell asleep. Once Raven had fallen asleep, he got out of the basket and changed back to White Dragon. He walked over to Raven's bed side. She looked so beautiful laying there. A tear ran down his cheek. He brushed her hair a little, leaned over, and kissed her on the forehead. Raven smiled in her sleep.
"I'm sorry, but I can't stay," he whispered. White Dragon orbed to the bridge, the place where he had first arrived. He gave a sigh and looked up. "I'm ready." There was a flash of light, and White Dragon found himself on a high branch on a tall bare tree. He immediately got his next assignment and set off to do it.
White Dragon watched as the little girl playfully climbed down the tree. Upon reaching the ground, she looked back up and waved.
"Bye," the girl waved. He waved back as the girl left. After the girl left, he stood up the best he could on the branch he was on.
"I'm ready," he said confidently. White Dragon was taken back to the Titan's dimensional vector. He hung in the air and looked down just as Green Lantern and Starfire started their attack. A lot of time had past in this vector. Raven's father had finally been killed, but Raven still turned bad without White Dragon around. Their beams hit Raven, but it wasn't enough to vaporize her body. A tear went down his cheek as he massed the energy for his own attack. Raven looked up as the blast came down on her. The blast vaporized her body, and White Dragon was taken back to where he was before he was brought here. Raven's soul self was left as a golden being. She was finally free of all earthly influence. She looked back up, but White Dragon was already gone. Because of the type of energy he used, only Raven knew who really had vaporized her. She still missed him though.
Time pasted, and the Titans West finally broke up. More time passed, and Cyborg decided to start a new team in San Francisco. He gathered together Garfield Logan (Beast Boy), Koriand'r (Starfire), Cassie Sandsmark (the second Wonder Girl), Bart Allen (the second Kid Flash), Conner Kent (Superboy), and Timothy Drake (the third Robin). Beast Boy had changed his name to Changeling and then back to Beast Boy. Starfire had been widowed twice and almost got married to Dick Grayson (the first Robin), but it never came to pass. Dick Grayson became Nightwing and joined the Justice League. Cassie was a normal kid until she helped Wonder Woman by "borrowing" the Sandals of Hermes and the Gauntlet of Atlas. After speaking to Zeus himself and asking for powers of her own, Zeus gave her super-strength and the power of flight. She trained with the Amazon Artemis up until the death of Donna Troy, the first Wonder Girl. Bart was the grandson of Barry Allen, the second Flash, and was brought to this century after his father was killed. He was originally known as Impulse. His powers mirror those of Wally West, the original Kid Flash and the current scarlet speedster, with one major exception: he also could remember everything he reads at super-speed. After Deathstroke, Slade, blasted his kneecap, he got a new artificial one, and he read the entire local public library at super-speed, he made himself a new costume and started calling himself Kid Flash all in the same night. Conner Kent was made in a lab from Superman's DNA and Lex Luthor's. Only Conner, Tim, and a strange user named snapdragon, and no it's not White Dragon, knows the truth about the human half of Superboy's DNA. Conner escaped from the lab and was taken in by the Kents under the guise of Conner Kent, the cousin to Clark. Since he is not an exact clone, his powers differ. He has a limited form of telekinesis and only time will tell what else he has. After Dick stopped being Robin, Batman trained a new Robin (Jason Todd) only for him to be killed at the hands of the Joker. After that, Tim discovered Batman's true identity and became the third Robin. Shortly after Cyborg started the new team, a new Brother Blood, apparently the son of Trigon, gave Raven a new body, so he could marry her and bring about Armageddon. His first attempt failed, and he was sent else where by Raven with a whole bunch of monster that would now serve him. It will be only a matter of time before he will come back. Raven rejoined the Titans and started school there in San Francisco. With Raven back, it's only a matter of time before White Dragon comes back.
The End...or is it?
