Chapter 11

Julie was a mess when they found her. Wind swirled around her picking up dirt and fallen tree leaves. It made it very difficult to reach her.

Raven saw her distressed daughter and felt sympathy. She saw a young girl fighting anger and sadness with frustration.

Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg were staying a good distance from Julie for fear of being thrown by the powerful wind.

Calmly Raven began the recite her mantra "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." She continued repeating it over and over. The gentle rhythm of the soothing words seemed to affect Julie. Slowly the winds seemed to die down.

"Julie! It's me! It's okay." Raven called. Julie fell down to the ground and was cushioned by her mother's powers.

Raven held onto the girl trying to calm her. "Shh…it's all right. Beast Boy is okay now."

Julie held onto her mother's cloak and sobbed. Finally after a moment she whispered. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get carried away."

Raven sighed. "Now are you going to tell me what you did and why you did it?"

Julie looked down. Shame filled her face at the thought.

Finally she said "I wanted to scare you so you would become closer to Beast Boy. I turned into a snake and attacked. I was trying to be gentle but I…got carried away. I hurt my father! I actually bit him and made him scream in pain."

Starfire went over to her friends and looked at Raven matching a similar facial expression. "I could have stopped her but I didn't. For that I'm sorry. Her idea was just so glorious."

Raven sighed again. "Well everything is all right now. I healed him. I think you should apologize to him."

Julie nodded solemnly. "Will he hate me?" She whispered.

"No. He might me confused. He might be disappointed but no he will not hate you." Raven stated plainly.

Julie smiled and wiped the tears away from her eyes. Finally she threw her arms around Raven and gave her a hug.

"Thanks Mom." She said she started of towards the T ship but she looked back.

"By the way, can you two get the blue tear drop flower? It's only a few yards in that direction." Julie said as she pointed north.

"You knew where it was the whole time?!" Cyborg exclaimed. Julie nodded. "This devise you made helped me find it. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

Robin sighed. "So we came all this way and wasted all this time for nothing?"

Starfire laughed. "No. Don't you see? We had a glorious adventure!"

Robin and Cyborg looked surprised at Starfire's comment.

"Yeah… I suppose we did. Now come on. We need to get that flower. We wasted enough time already!" Robin stated.

Cyborg admired the device Julie had handed him. "Man this thing is so state of the art. I haven't even seen anything this precise." He exclaimed as he studied the strange machine.

Together they followed the flashing blue arrow on the device pointing them in the right direction. Finally they reached a large grassy area.

Cyborg inspected the device one more time then looked at Robin with a puzzled frown.

"This thing says the flower is in this field. The only problem is, is that it's a small flower. It could take us days just to find it!" Cyborg fumed in frustration.

Robin looked at the field. Since it was a sunny spot away from the canopy of trees, many plants grew in that area and most of them were flowers.

The boy wonder sighed. "Well….we better get looking." He started getting down on his hands and knees searching the ground carefully.

"Stupid machine! So much for state of the art. Oh it led us where it will be found but not enough information!" Cyborg exclaimed and threw it on the ground in frustration.

Cyborg joined Robin in searching around the field. They didn't even realize that being it a rainforest the ground was damp. It caused mud and leaf particles to stick to their body but the two boys were too intent in their search.

"Nope. That's not it. Not even close." Robin muttered to himself as he inspected plant after plant."

In the background the beeping from the same machine continued in a loud droning noise.

"Cyborg, can you please shut that thing off? It's driving me crazy!" Robin exclaimed after twenty or so minutes.

Cyborg was already messing with it. "I'm trying but the darn thing won't shut up!"

He jabbed at some buttons and twiddled with some of the wires. Finally the beeping stopped. Instead a voice that sounded a lot like Cyborg's said. "TARGET STRAIGHT AHEAD!"

Cyborg looked at Robin. An excited smile placed his lips. "I think I fixed it!"

Robin got up from his crawling position and went to where Cyborg was.

"About time!" Robin commented, brushing himself off. They followed the machines directions and right where it said, a little blue flower stood against the green plant life.

"Yay! We got it! Now let's get back. It's already 6:30 pm!" Robin commented.

After Cyborg carefully picked the plant up by digging up the roots and gently shaking the soil loose they walked towards the ship.

When they got to the ship, the bright sun was setting in the west. It casted long shadows and color to the sky above them. The two didn't notice how late it was getting. They were looking forward to a good bath and some sleep.

Not far away they found Starfire waiting for them outside the door of the T ship.

"Friends! You have returned!" Starfire exclaimed happily. She gave each of them a bone crushing hug before letting them come inside.

"Yeah, it's great to see you too Star." Robin said. He blushed a little at his dirty attire.

Starfire soon noticed for she too was covered in dirt. "Robin? Why are you covered with the soil of the ground? You look like a zorphog from my planet!" She giggled to herself at her own joke.

Robin blushed again and walked into clean himself up. "Don't ask."

Starfire continued giggling silently and she and Cyborg followed Robin into the ship. It had been a long day and the Teen Titans were exausted.
