Chapter 10- Reawakenings
Olivia- All the Titan girls have been found and now the boys can take care of Slade! This is a warning, if you are light of heart or can't stand the mental image of blood, skip to the end now! Think of this as a small halloween treat...or trick, depending on how you see it. You have been warned!!!
The med bay was under a chilling silence. Joy stood beside the window, looking out into the stormy night. Raven and Falcon rested behind her, not expected to wake up until the boy's deed was done. She sighed deeply as she tried to gather her thoughts.
"Joy!" shrieked Aj's loud voice. The blue eyed Jaison jumped in surprise and turned to glare at her twin. But her dagger like gaze softened into concern as she saw Bee's body limp in Aj's arms.
"Oh my...Where was she?" Joy asked frantically.
"Burried alive on the beach. Beast Boy found her." Argyle explained while laying her friend on a bed beside Raven. Bee groaned before opening her dark brown eyes.
"What happened?" she asked horsely as she attempted to sit up.
"Slade captured you, Starfire, Raven and Falcon." AJ answered.
"Yeah, I remember that...but how did I get here?" Bee asked before wincing in pain. Her wings were clearly broken and her wrists were badly bruised from the restraints.
"Beast Boy found you burried inside a glass box on the beach." AJ said while performing a healing spell to rid Bee's body of it's many scratches and cuts.
"Do you recollect anything after he captured you?" Joy asked.
"No, not really. He put me inside a dark room, with my arms bound together behind my back...it took me a while to wriggle free, and once I did, I heard a scream...Starfire, I think. I tried to find a door to escape, but it seemed thier wasn't one, the room was too dark for me to see anything...Slade must've found some way to neutralize my powers, because they refused to work."
"Anything after that?" Joy asked, trying to dull her angered tone, seeing as Bee was shaking. Carrie only shook her head and looked to her left, seeing Raven lying on the bed beside her. She had never seen the violet mage look soo...helpless. Raven was usually stubborn and did things her own way. But Slade had broken her, in more ways than one. Bee's heart ached at the thought of what had happened to her...

Rain beat down upon the heads of the three male Titans. Beast Boy and Bohusk's hair stuck to thier foreheads as they and Cyborg ran down the secluded streets of Jump City. Victor managed to track down the location of Bee's comunicator before it went offline. The coordinates led them to one of the most feared places in all of Jump City...the old abandoned asylum.
"How ironic is it that Slade chooses a shelter for the fucked up in the head as his hideout?" Bohusk chuckled before kicking down the rotting wooden door. The air inside was thick with dust and the metalic smell of blood.
"A perfect setting for Slade's demise!" Jhon hissed as he completely transformed himself into his reaper mode, eyes glowing red, fangs growing sharp and his wrist becoming fleshy/bony with a blade pertruthing from the skin.
Beast Boy growled deeply before transforming into the beast. With a loud roar, he took off down the hallway, following the scent of blood. Cyborg and Bohusk were right on his heels. Beast Boy burst into the room where the smell originated from. The room was solid white, with no furnishings. His eyes fell upon a small puddle of dark redish black liquid. Blood. He could tell it was Raven's due to the faint hint of lavender and vanilla.
The changeling's blood boiled at the sight. His horrific throughts were cut short when an oh so familiar voice rang throughout the tiny inclosed space.
"Well it seems you do possess the mental capacity to solve simple mysteries. Bravo, young Titans."
"Slade!" Cyborg bellowed. "You will pay for what you did, you low down dirty bastard!"
"I do wish I could stay and talk with you, but i'm afraid I must bid you a farewell...but you are welcome to play with my little friend." When Slade's voice died down, a passage in the far wall opened to reveal a small figure. A little girl, by the size of it. Her jet black hair hung limply, hiding her face except for 2 black eyes, she wore an ashy grey dress that came down to the tops of her bare feet. Her skin was almost as white as the walls.
"Will you help me?" she asked in a scared voice. She lifted her arms to show two long and deep gashes that were pouring blood. As she came closer, the blood flow increased, and with every drop that fell, it disapeared before it hit the floor. "Please help me." she pleaded with her arms extended.
"Normally, I would be scared, but now is not the time." Bohusk said in a demonic voice.
"Since you will not help me, you three shall face a death just like mine." she laughed. A large curved knife appeared in her right hand.

After a much needed bath, Bumble Bee laied asleep ontop of her hospital bed. Her dark wavy hair was splayed across the pillow while her face was somber as she slept. AJ and Joy watched the three girls with hawk's eyes from a distance. The storm outside was getting worse and worse with each passing minute. Once a loud crack of thunder echoed through the halls of the tower, Raven awoke with a gasp.
"Raven!" screamed the two Jaisons. Rachel sat trembling, hands clenching the white sheets and her eyes staring straight ahead in shock.
"It's ok. You're safe now, Rae." Joy soothed, trying to motion for Raven to lay back down. Raven pursed her lips together and squeezed her eyes shut, letting tears run down her face.
"What's wrong?" came Falcon's weak voice. She carefully manuvered to her sister's bed and sat down next to her. She didn't have time to think before Raven pulled her close, sobbing harshly into her t-shirt. Falcon held her twin as she cried, whispering comforting words.
********************************************************************************************
A few minutes later, Joy entered a seprate part of the med bay. Robin laied atop the hospital bed with Starfire draped over him. He held her close with her head just under his chin.
"Robin." Joy whispered while shaking the boy wonder. He woke with a groan.
"What?" he asked, slightly irritated from being woken up from his nap.
"Raven awakened."
"Is she ok?" he asked, irritation now replaced by concern.
"Physically, yes. Emotionally, no. She woke up and latched onto Falcon, we haven't been able to pry her off yet...which I can't see a reason to. She's been through alot in the last 24 hours. Right now, she needs her family...that means you and Star too." Joy finished with a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. Robin returned the gesture and promised to see Raven as soon as he awoke his sleeping girlfriend.
Maiden- Ok, the chapter was a little creepy, but I think it's a good halloween fic. ^-^ Anyway, i've decided to extend the life of this fic another 2-4 chapters! R&R!
