~ The Raven's Omen - Chapter 11
Raven's eyes glowered at the mistress under her attire hood. "I don't want to fight with you. Obviously, you are simply misunderstood and you must encounter aid."
Megara reached for a buckle in her belt and she began to hover alongside Raven. "Your little speeches are just a waste of last words," she seethed. She smirked slightly at Raven's stunned face due to Megara being able to float in the air as well.
Raven shook her head. "If it means you'll carry more hate for children, then I won't fight."
"Doesn't matter," Megara said with a shrug. "The sooner you die, the better."
The golden bundle that was Omen woke back up all of a sudden when hearing an unfamiliar battle cry from above. The young dog lifted his gaze upward to see Mistress Megara and Raven both fighting in mid-air. Consumed with rage against the black haired woman, Omen jumped up and down barking sharply, making unsuccessful attempts to reach up and bite the evil mistress.
Raven had no idea how Megara was doing this, though she hinted it was merely a hovercraft that helped her stay up in the air. But Raven refused to fight back. Every time Megara would lunge at the goth-like teen, she would simply parry and trying to drag her to the ground. During a parry, Raven moved behind the mistress and shielded herself.
Megara was finally fed up. "No use in combating back, huh? Fine!!"
She did an unexpected turn and pointed her weapon of mass destruction to the very least of targets. She aimed down at Omen, who was still oblivious to the danger presented in front of him. Omen continued to bark angrily at her until Megara could withstand no longer.
"Shut up, you beast!!" she hollered and fired at him.
She didn't want to hurt the dog, but to merely play with Raven's mind. She expected Raven to react to this, and that she did. And that's when things went horribly wrong.
The rest of the Titans made it into the scene at the moment when the mistress fired towards Omen. The beam of death narrowly hit Omen's robotic paw, which sent a shock through the pup's body. With a loud yelp, he stumbled backwards and hurtled off the roof's railing and towards the ground below. Even Megara herself paused at the turn of events.
"Omen, NO!!" Starfire was the first to react and darted right after him. Second to react was Raven who let her guard down and followed Starfire. Megara took this to her advantage and quickly shot at Raven's left side, emitting surprised cries from the boys.
"Oh, you've done it now, lady!!" Cyborg yelled angrily and with one cannon blast, he destroyed Megara's precious weapon.
Megara gasped as her machine crumbled before her. She stared down at the palms of her hands. They were charred due to Cy's blast and at the momentary distraction, Robin grabbed her and pinned her to the ground; his left foot holding her down.
"You're going back to jail," he said furiously. "And this time, we'll make sure you don't escape... ever."
Raven began to plummet to her death, the blast had thrown her unconscious and she continued to fall until an eagle's talons grabbed at her shoulders. BeastBoy had caught her, but he didn't have the strength to take her back to the rooftop, so he gently soared down until they reached ground. Morphing back to his true form, he kneeled beside her, cringing at the sight of blood on her wounded hip.
"Rae? Rae, are you okay? Raven!!" he attempted to wake her.
BeastBoy sat back, relieved to see she was still breathing. The beam had barely missed her, so he figured she would be fine. From up in the Tower's highest level, it sounded like Robin and Cyborg were finally wrapping things up.
Starfire approached Beastboy slowly, cradling Omen with both her arms. A tear trickled down her cheek as she stared down at BeastBoy, utterly speechless. Omen's chest did not heave. Was he...?
"He's..." she tried to say, but choked up before she could finish. She buried her face on Omen's lifeless chest and sobbed quietly. BeastBoy's shoulders shook and he scolded himself, not wanting to cry as well. Wouldn't be good for my current image, he thought. But... what were they to tell Raven when she recovered? She was beginning to become so close to the retriever...
There was a small sound and Beast turned to discover that Raven was already awake, staring wordlessly at the motionless Omen in Starfire's trembling arms. Raven opened her mouth to speak, but what came out was a shaken sigh. She stood up, ignoring the horrible, burning feeling in her open sore and she started to quickly limp towards the Titan Tower, not even bothering to stop and heal her wound.
BeastBoy stood in alarm. "Raven, what are you doing?! Wait!!"
