Knight and day
Chapter 25- The Secret Weapon
Knight opened the door and the titans were awestruck. Before them stood an armory, five suits of armor, all forged of the strongest titanium were set about the room. Knight turned to his friends,"I've always been able to protect myself, but never the ones I love, until today." Knight stepped aside and allowed the titans into his armory. Above each suit hung a colored cloth with a different coat of arms on each one. Beast boy's suit was the first; it was smaller than the others, because of his small stature. The suit was dated from the late 14th century. Its helmet resembled a wolf's head and over the breast plate was a green garment featuring Beast boy's crest, which was a green lion. Starfire's suit stood next. All the suits, except Raven's, were colored to look like steel. Starfire's suit was made up of overlapping strips of titanium. The armor followed her body well, creating a perfect outline of Starfire's form. While most of the armor was steel colored, the neck, lower arms and lower legs were purple. Cyborg's suit stood next to Star's. His was big and bulky to fit his form. Robin's was next to last. Robin's armor was articulated to perfection. Each joint was expertly fitted so that Robin could have full range of movement. A small red cape hung from the back of the armor and part of the helmet had been shaped to form a bird's head. Raven's armor was last, but in Knight's eyes it was the greatest. Her suit was abnormal in that it was colored black, as Knight's armor was. The armor fit Raven's feminine body perfectly. Its graceful curves were exquisite and the edges were engraved. The entire armor was draped in a deep blue cloak so that only her helmet was visible if she was standing still. The helmet, Knight had paid special attention to. Its visor angled down and two small extensions off the face plate almost looked like small raven's wings. (Author's note: I always pictured Raven's helmet to be the ebony helmet from skyrim, just Google that for a good visual!)
The titans were amazed at the massive amount of work that Knight must have done to get all these ready in just a few months. Raven walked up to her armor. She lifted the helmet form the stand and held it in her hands, staring into its dark visor slit. While it wasn't her style, she still really liked her armor. It felt so… her. Well, it definitely helps my "dark and mysterious" aura. Raven thought has she hefted the helmet, testing the weight, it wasn't as heavy as it looked. While the titans tried to don their metal exoskeletons, Knight spoke up. "I know this isn't your style," he explained "-so I've worked long and hard to try and make these feel a bit more you." Beast boy was having trouble getting into his main cuirass, so Knight helped him in. "Wait," BB started, "- If I'm wearing this, how am I supposed to shift?" Knight walked over to a table in the center and picked up a mace. "I guess you'll have to learn how to fight like a man." Knight said as he shoved the weapon into Beast boy's hands. He chuckled to himself at his own play on words.
Knight stepped back and frowned a little as he watched his friends test out their new defenses. He had to hope that his armor would be strong enough to protect them from anything short of a nuclear explosion. He went over the process and tests again and again in his mind. He knew he hadn't made any mistakes, but he was still worried to have the lives of his friends in his hands. "How do I look?" asked Raven. Knight turned and around and his jaw dropped a little, he'd always found armor attractive on women, but on Raven... that was a whole new ball game. Raven looked absolutely stunning, to Knight anyway. He thanked himself for making his armor fit so perfectly on her body. "Wow" was all he could manage. Raven smiled, "That bad eh?" Knight immediately apologized, "No! No Raven you look absolutely beautiful!" Raven blushed at his comment, but it was time to get to business. The team had a lot of training to do.
