I'm trying to post every day now. . .
Last year, founding Titan Starfire had been brutally murdered by her team's arch-nemesis (specifically that of her boyfriend, Robin), Slade. Last month, Kor'I had met the Titans, as the Justice League believed that she was Starfire. She had fought to a stand-still against Slade and decided to do some soul-searching. She quit the League and wanting to learn more about her past, joined the Titans.
Nightwing, the Titans' leader, was currently on leave, as he was searching for his living ex-girlfriend's murderer. He'd left Kor'I in charge and Dick Grayson, a playboy billionaire bimbo, in his spot. Dick Grayson IS Nightwing. And those who know this are pretty pissed to be fighting Red X without their leader so he can try to woo a girl that seemingly wants nothing to do with him.
Red X shot out several super-fast beams in hopes of hitting the Flash. The scarlet speedster quickly ran to the middle of the beams as they shot right past him. The young speedster stuck his tongue at X who replied: "Those lock on your DNA". Flash turned around to notice that the beams were coming back towards him very, very quickly.
The hero shot right past Raven, who muttered,: "Amateurs". With a whisper of a few well chosen words, Raven's eyes glowed white and the beams chasing Flash glowed black, as they shot back towards X.
Flash screwed up his mouth and whistled. "Didn't know you could do that". Raven glared down at her teammate.
"I practice. Unlike you, I need to do something to maintain my powers."
"Hey, hey, hey, it's more complicated then that" Flasher defended himself. "I tap into the speed force and-" But Raven had already left. "Some girlfriend" the speedster murmured to himself, then tore after Red X.
"Can we just take this guy out already?" Arsenal demanded, as he hooked an arrow onto his crossbow. He didn't bother to check his aim (Didn't need it) and shot right at the thief. X immediately pressed the middle of his belt and vanished out of the area. "Damn it!" the archer hissed.
"Not quite yet, Arsenal" Kor'I called. The teen streaked down from the sky and stayed in the air, raised a few feet above Roy. "Without a constant supply of Xenothium, he'd only use a short range teleporter. We'll nab 'im".
"Smart girl" Robin's alter-ego tackled the Titans' temporary leader to the ground. "As I've said before cutie, the only real crime here is that we haven't been on a- EEEEECCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!" Kor'I had spread X's fingers apart with her right hand, breaking his.
"I like to break things" she shrugged.
"Works for me" Cheshire's lover walked over to help clean up the mess. "You could've done worse. It's only his hand".
"And he should've learned after what happened with Starfire" Raven added floating down from the sky, pieces of debris floating down from the sky.
"What happened?"
A ghost of a grin almost appeared on the empath's face. "Robin happened".
Do-do-do-da-do-do-do-da-do
"Hey, the big screen isn't working" Dick Grayson's face popped up on Arsenal's communicator. "Something's wrong with it". He did look somewhat concerned.
"I hope you realize that we're superheroes, not babysitters" Kor'I spat out.
"Yeah" the Navajo tribe member agreed. "Dude, I'm glad you're visiting and everything, but she's right. Plus the fact that we're down a really important team member-"
"We don't have time to watch two idiots" Raven finished. "We already have Beast Boy".
Dick looked like he was thinking the matter over when "one of those" looks spread over his face. "Talk to you later, Speedy".
The screen flashed off as "Ol' Speedy boy" sighed. "Y'know when he gets a look like that on his face, when he gets like this-"
"Something's gonna change" Flash finished. He turned to Raven, who had a quizzical expression on her face.
"That sounds about right" the empath said slowly. "We should get home". Raven's eyes glowed white as her cloak encompassed her teammates. A dark bird screeched over the city and vanished.
That's it for this time, sorry 'bout the wait!
rite4fun: That's what I'm waiting for too. Just like the her comic counter part, the girl has a temper. Although, Nightwing isn't stupid, you'd figure he has some sort of plan to avoid that. . .or, y'know, it's one of those author moments where the character suddenly becomes stupid for 2 chapters.
Dick Grayson's stupid is an act, right?
Next Chapter: Poor Dick. . .it had to happen, right?
