Well, I had nothing really to do, so I wrote the next bit.

"Okay," Jeremy said, looking at Y'kolo, "What we need to do is... Keep you warm... I think. And then... I wish I'd paid more attention during my classes with the healers."
Magpie pulled a small pamphlet out of her backpack, "I've got a red cross first aid manual. Maybe that'll help."
"Tell me what it says about open wounds."
"Don't touch me," Y'kolo said, "Magpie will bandage my leg, then we are going to go home, and from there we will get a properly trained healer. I don't trust you not to hurt me further."
"Why me?" Magpie asked.
"I've known you for longer than I have Jeremy, and I've seen you bandage a dragon's wounds before," Y'kolo replied.
"But you can't possibly be up to opening a Gate!" Jeremy protested.
"Do not worry, Crow," Y'kolo said, "I will be fine."
"Why do you keep calling me Crow?" Jeremy asked, "I thought we were on first name terms."
"Would you prefer I call you mother hen?" Y'kolo snapped, "You are acting like one."
Jeremy bowed his head, blushing more than slightly. It was impossible not to feel like an idiot when a dragon reprimanded you.
Magpie tried to be sympathetic. She really did. But she couldn't help a quiet snicker escaping her mouth.
"And you," Y'kolo turned her golden eyes on Magpie, who instantly stopped and hung her head in embarrassment, "You are an adult. Act like it."
Magpie blushed even redder than Jeremy, who was now trying not to snigger at Magpie.
Y'kolo turned back to him, "Do I have to separate you two?"
"No, ma'am," they both said, sounding like children who've just been sent to the principal and received a strong reprimand.
"Good," Y'kolo sighed, "Now help me set this spell up."
***
The Teen Titans were in the forest, looking for any signs of the so-called "dragon." They weren't making very much progress, as none of them knew exactly what they were looking for. They didn't have to look very hard however, because their quarry found them.
A voice came drifting to them on the wind, "Would you prefer I call you mother hen?" were the exasperated words they heard, "You are acting like one."
Instantly the group turned towards the noise in time to hear another sharp reprimand, "And you... you are an adult. Act like it."
A few more seconds passed, and there was an exasperated yell of, "Do I have to separate you two?"
Whatever the reply was, they couldn't hear it. Robin pointed towards the noise, and they all moved toward it. Beast boy became a squirrel and jumped into a tree, Starfire and Raven took to the air, and Cyborg and Robin walked as quietly as they could (which was saying more for Robin, but the narrator would rather not go into that).
"Good," came a sigh, "Now help me set this spell up."
***
Magpie took a deep breath as she joined hands with Jeremy to set up the spell. For all that they fought; the two made a very good team where fighting or magic was involved.
If one imagined the spell as being shaped like a spider's web, Jeremy and Magpie were making the holding pieces, the ones that radiated from the center.
Y'kolo wrapped herself into a circle, head resting lightly on the end of her long tail, with Jeremy and Magpie in the center of it. Magpie thought she saw something move in the corner of her eye, but she shook it off. It couldn't be that big of a deal.
"Terré Porté!" Jeremy started the spell. Magpie stopped thinking and joined him.
"Apere cum nobis!" she chanted with him, Y'kolo now also joining, "Apere cum nobis et capé cum domum! Appellamus in tu, Teram Portam! Capé cum domum!"
The spell burst out from them, creating a swirling wind as it did so. A few
moments passed where nothing happened. Magpie noticed that the spell had
flattened the grass in the area, and wondered for a few seconds if that was how crop circles were formed.
Then, with a quick gust of wind, they fell through the gate.
***
Robin was the first one to reach the clearing, and was amazed by what he saw. The dragon was definitely real. It was injured, a huge gash on it's left foreleg and many smaller injuries on the rest of its body.
But underneath the very bedraggled look of it, the dragon was sleek and streamlined, with a small (for a dragon), muscular body, a long, graceful- looking neck and tail, frighteningly large teeth, and wingspan at least as long as it was.
Robin heard his teammates come up and stop dead just like he had. They were all just as amazed as him.
The dragon was laying curled in a circle, with two people standing in the center of it. Robin instantly recognized them from the security tape.
Their hands were joined, and they were chanting.
"Terré Porté!" the man said. Robin thought the language sounded like Latin, but he didn't know what it meant. He mentally cursed himself for not paying better attention in class.
"Apere cum nobis!" the girl and the dragon joined, "Apere cum nobis et capé cum domum! Appellamus in tu, Teram Portam! Capé cum domum!"
Robin knew he should step in and do something but he could only watch, transfixed, as a wind swirled from the center of the circle and settled over the clearing. He could tell they had done something, the very air seemed heavy with anticipation.
The wind stopped, and he broke out of his trance and stepped toward the trio.
Then the world turned upside down.

Muwahaha! Fear my pathetic excuse for a cliffhanger! Next chapter is where the REAL fun starts! *evil grin*
Does anyone know how to get italics and stuff to work? The tags are weird on my compy.
Can you tell Y'kolo is a mother?
