AND REMEMBER! RAVEN ROBIN FOREVER!! :D
Raven looked out the window to watch the stars were warping by. She thought to herself for awhile.
'How did that dream come back? I thought I already past it when I was being taken over by Jinx.' After a few hours of coming up with possible theories, Raven put her head on the desk. She closed her eyes and slept in the chair, trying to go back to it. Fortunately for her sake, she did.
Just like before. Everything around her was dark. Robin had been lying on the floor, dead as he was. After swearing to herself, she ran after the hooded figure and grabbed onto her. Raven flipped her around to find out, once again, that the one who killed Robin was her.
The dream ended there as it always did. She rubbed her temples from exhaustion and sat up. Thinking like she always did, she phased through the door.
Raven made her way to the main deck, noticing Robin was there.
"Hey," he greeted. She just looked at him and nodded. "Are you ok?" she nodded again. Raven quickly changed the subject.
"We're almost there. Don't worry so much. We'll beat Slade," Raven assured once more, noticing that he wore a mask of worry.
"Yea," he said. They stood there in silence for as long as Robin could take it. "Can you find as much information on the planet we're going to land on, as you can, Raven?"
"Sure," she dragged out.
"Ok!" he exclaimed. "We can do this!" Raven only ignored his rants as she printed out the landscape summary, the people, their customs and religion and the planets weather and temperature conditions.
"Here," Raven retorted, holding out the papers.
"Thanks," the Boy Wonder publicized. She looked over it with him as he scanned it. He muttered to himself, "No religion. shape shifters- damn, it's gonna be hard to find him; the air is oxygen, that's good; .ok this is weird."
"What?"
"They don't have any customs," he said, "How will we know if we're going to upset them? Read their minds?" he glanced back at Raven who was raising her eyebrows. "Oh right, you can read minds too."
"Yeah," she trailed off.
"The landscape," he reviewed, "is all flat and barren. Tornadoes are really common. Since we live in a city, where there isn't any tornadoes, aside form the super natural powers that our villains have. we should be careful."
"I'll be fine," she assured. He placed a hand on her shoulder and just stared at her. Raven felt uneasy but relived when the computer received a new alert.
"New message, new message," it repeated. Robin took his eyes off of Raven and headed towards the screen.
"Open message," he instructed.
"We are now at Honemix," the computer said, following Robin's orders. It pronounced the x's as a 'sh'. "Preparing to land on Honemix."
"The planet we're about to arrive at is called Honemix?" Robin asked. Raven nodded her head. "I guess I was so busy looking at the info for the planet," he complained, shrugging his shoulders.
"Let's go," the telekinetic declared, placing her hood over her head.
"Right."
After drinking a cup of water, Robin headed out the door with Raven. When they stepped off, al the people of the planet looked at them then stared at the sky.
"What are they. doing?" he quizzed. Raven shrugged.
The people were dressed in cloaks, with each a band of metal around their head, across the forehead, each a different color.
"Er- excuse me," Robin affirmed. The looked from the sky and looked back at him. "Um- what are you doing?"
"Waiting," one said.
"-for," another with a silver band followed.
"-the-"
"-black-"
"-wind," the last finished. Raven and Robin looked at each other.
"Have you-" Raven begun. They suddenly twitched and while emitting a white glow, they transformed into unfamiliar faces, animals or things. The Honemixans looked back at the sky.
"It's."
"-Coming-" they expressed, forcing a smile. They looked back at the two.
"You-"
"-Should-"
"-Go-"
"-Now," Another three said. They started running and all stopped. Raven looked around her. They all ran to form a complete circle. Even the ones who shaped into rocks transformed into something with legs.
Before one completely changed back into a human after turning into a rock, Raven grabbed it.
"Have you seen a man by the name of Cold Stone?" she demanded. It shook its head. "Well do you know anyone with a stone jewel that could turn people into stone!?" It nodded. "Where?"
"Northern-," it stopped.
"Complete your sentences," she yelled. She was getting irritated with the way the spoke.
"Hemisphere," it finished.
"Alright, go finish your- circle," Robin said. It nodded and ran to connect the ring. The barren land shot up in the following design of the circle in front of them. They then were swallowed whole.
"Where'd they go?" Robin asked.
"To their actual home. It's under ground," she informed.
"Huh?"
"They built their homes underground," she explained slowly.
"Oh," he let out.
"Let's go to the Northern Hemisphere," Raven told him. He nodded as they got back into their ship. As they traveled from hemisphere to other hemisphere Raven brought up the subject of Starfire.
"Robin, promise me one thing."
"And what would that be?" he smirked.
"Stay with Starfire-" she was interjected.
"Preparing to land," the computer said.
"Tell me later! Let's go find him!" He urged, while pulling her wrist.
"Sure," she said. She looked back the space craft. 'Two weeks left,' was all she thought while Robin pulled her to the middle area.
"Ok," he declared. They stood there in silence. "Raven?"
"Yeah?" she retorted back.
"Um- how do we go down?"
"We don't have that kind of power," she explained.
"We have to wait for them to come up?"
"Yeah," she said again. Just as before, the sand shot up and as it flittered down softly. 'He's finally here,' Raven thought.
A cloaked figure was shadowed. A stone at the end of the chain was swinging while dust cleared.
"I've been waiting," he said.
"You? We were standing here for an hour at least," Robin snapped at. The man smiled.
"Have you come here to kill me and save your friends?"
"What do you-" Robin began, being overwhelmed with anger. Raven cut him off.
"Yes," she sneered.
"Come get me, if you may," Cold Stone answered. Disappearing underground, Raven followed by teleportation. She quickly grabbed onto Robin.
"So this is where they live," Robin admired. The ceiling, floor and walls were made of polished gray marble. On the floor were black and white rugs made of the finest silk and tassels were carefully spread out evenly. Raven glided over it as Robin walked by her.
"Be careful with the way you walk. If you can't tell, they like everything to be neat. They don't like messes or trouble," she examined. He nodded.
"Raven?" He began asking.
"What?"
"Can't you use your powers to find Cold Stone?" Robin quizzed. She shrugged.
"I guess so," she answered. She looked around and placed a hand on the wall. All she saw was darkness, and felt shivering. That person who she just contacted with wasn't him. After touching different objects, she couldn't find him. Raven stared at Robin, "It's better if we just search for him by foot. I'm not getting any signals from him."
Robin agreed and so they went forth, looking for Cold Stone. Throughout their little search, they were silent, knowing what to say to each other, but hadn't grown enough courage to say. Once in a while they'd look at each other.
"Think we'll beat him? .Maybe not," Robin tried to lighten the mood. Raven stopped while she was in front of him. He stopped behind when suddenly she spun around. She raised an eyebrow but then relaxed her face. She raised her hand as if to point something out. Robin looked at her face intently, wanting to know what she was going to say next. Another few seconds, her palm straightened out and his face was so close to hers. He could clearly breathe in her scent but it didn't seem right.
"Robin," she whispered. He stopped before embracing her. She shook her head and said, "No."
He now figured that he was in love with Raven, not Starfire. He wanted to hold Raven. It wasn't possible though, Raven wanted him to stay with Starfire. The Tamaran was her friend and she knew how much Starfire was in love with Robin. Raven didn't want to hurt her feelings so she let her go date Robin. even thought it was killing Raven slowly from the inside. Robin changed his mind to be with Starfire. Maybe he should've been with Raven from the first day he liked. from the first day she loved him. He would've done anything for her, just for. No one else. Only Raven. Robin would've done anything just to hold Raven, to look truthfully into her eyes and not lie about how he feels about her. He would've done anything to just be with her.
The thoughts were cut short when he noticed they were still standing still and looking at each other. Her position was still, her hand was still raised. Robin smiled when he noticed she was blushing. But his smile slowly faded away to a frown.
"Raven? Are you ok? Why is you hand like that? Rave-" He was interrupted by a slap on his face. Her palm pressed his nose flat and her fingers poked his eyes. Her hands slid off. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?"
"Our job is to find Cold Stone. Let's go now. and please shut up," she told. He shuddered and kept quiet.
"Sorry," he apologized.
"Whatever," she said. Within minutes after saying that, they finally encountered their enemy.
"Hmm. Looks like you finally found me."
A/N** I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKED IT! SORRY FOR THE WAIT! SORRY! THANKS THOUGH! And if you don't understand the part where she was touching the walls to find Cold Stone, just read my other fic, Hold My Hand. If you want though! KK! Well, see you soon!
