Theory ©
By: Acidfox ©
Summary: Since there isn't much I can do for a summary, this is something I wanted to write for some time. I'm testing my idea out for a fictional story on this fan fic, so this will try and get my ideas in place for when I write my own fictional story called Theory. I hope you don't mind me working out my ideas on the Teen Titans, it's just easier when you have a cast and a somewhat plot made up, to test ideas you have for future stuff. Anyways, here is the summery:
The Teen Titans are out when they get an alarm to save someone from what appears to be some strange vessel from another world. However, it can't completely locate where it is on the locator, it just simply has the message, and static to follow. Frantically, the Teen Titans go out in town, flying above rooftops to look for any signs of danger. When they suddenly fall to the ground and on top of what looks to be a boy, stranger things begin to fold under their feat.
Sort of like a mini series, I suppose. It throws away other things that have happened. Just my rendition of what I would do with the series in my hands. That includes some personal things about the characters.
Pairings: S/R R/B I HATE ROBIN!!! Sorry, I don't mean it that way, but I just don't like him. So yeah, here goes mah story.
Ch 1 – The Chase Begins
The air was brisk and cold, fluttering about on an autumn evening where the milk colored waning moon hovered above the earth's atmosphere, shedding small amounts of light reflected off of the sun, looking like a pale maiden hidden amongst the diamond stars sewed into the velvety black sky. Small breezes carried tiny raindrops gracefully across the city streets where the lamplights droned out the moon that was being covered in a dark grey matter of water molecules, in the form of clouds. Small waves from the bay crashed against the rocks, spraying amounts of salt water white and opaque against deep brown rocks, covered with slick green mosses. The tower was lit up like a mall, with all the lights on it's squared off windows, huge and bold.
Inside, not much was going on. The tin man was doing his usual hobby of going against the changeling in a game of boxing, and of course the fiery haired alien was off trying to speak to dark brooding one, with the boy wonder off doing more research. The Teen Titans were struck again at home, with nothing exciting going on. The room was unusually clean, perhaps because of the fact they were going to be inside they might as well keep themselves busy, and the continuous rain seemed to not stop outside the window. It was like sheets of paper just falling down simultaneously outside the window. You could barely see out, and the rain was just flushing down the window.
"Perhaps it would help if I sang a song from my home planet, to help make the skies more cheerful so the rain would not fall!" the fired haired alien, everyone knew as Starfire.
"Maybe the sky likes to be moody," Raven simply stated, trying to focus on meditation.
"Nonsense, the happiest days are when the sky is yellow and bright!" Starfire exclaimed, "I propose to make a pudding of sorrow, which may help ease the pain of this day."
"You just don't get it, do you," Raven said, keeping her eyes closed and with a slight agitation to her already dull voice.
"Perhaps it is you who does not 'get it' for I understand perfectly fine!" Starfire said, always cheerful.
"Just let me meditate," Raven said, and toned her out.
With that over with, Starfire frowned, and went to join Beast Boy and Cyborg in their games of beating people up on the television screen. After she had bored of this, she went into the kitchen to make another concoction to make herself keep at work. She didn't like to be useless, nor bored, so she always had to keep herself busy. Being kind hearted, it usually lead her to make things or do things for other people, which usually lead to her being yelled at. Never the less, her never dying fire inside of her kept her going, as she made another creation from the mold growing within Beast Boys room, along with random things she found around that looked like what she thought was used in making the puddings and other such things from her planet. Perhaps it was used in her planet, no one completely knew.
"Everyone, I found some interesting information about Slade," Robin walked in, looking tired and worn, but still had that ever present profound look of leadership that made him the boss, and no one else.
He strode down to where everyone was at, as their eyes became eagerly fixated on his figure. Starfire stopped baking, despite the boiling pots and some smoke that emitted from the kitchen area. Raven, seemingly just hung by an unmoving invisible string in the air, rotated around towards Robin's direction, opening her eyes, to see Beast Boy and Cyborg giving him their ultimate attention.
"Oh, Robin! Do explain the information that is so interesting to us!" Starfire said, repeating everything as usual only backwards.
Robin walked forward even more, with a small disc within his hands, "I shall. You see here, on this disc, is some strange information that seemed to have 'accidentally' leaked from someone within Slade's department." He then took the disc, and seemed to scuffle over to the side and place it within the disc holder, that went back into the device. It projected some stats, and other models on the TV, and as it went through them, Robin continued talking, "It would seem that he is gathering some things to build a machine. I don't know what it's for, but it seems to be for some sort of time or space travel. He's getting some pretty powerful people to try and stop us, not to mention get stolen stuff. He probably wants to do something to the city, my guess something that he has to go great lengths for."
"How did you get this information?" Raven asked, skeptical as always.
"It would seem that either someone is betraying him and purposely giving us some information for us to lead on, or some kid accidentally found some of the stuff and found it amusing to post it on a private computer. I sort of got some leads and hacked into it."
"Well, what do we do now?" Cyborg asked.
"I'm not so sure, we can't go on every detail yet. It might not even have to do with anything related to Slade; we can just pray that it does. When I find out what he's planning, I'm taking him down."
Robin clenched his fists.
"So, you're not even certain yet." Raven said doubtfully.'
"Raven! Do not be so gloomy! Robin has done more work than any, and he tries to save! He does not want to jump to conclusions, but it is obvious that something about Slade has been found out! It is possible it is true." Star said.
"Star's right, I just don't want to jump into it, if we don't know what we are getting into," Robin said.
"So, dude, what do we do? Just sit around here and pretend not to know anything? I for one think we should kick butt!" exclaimed the green Beast Boy.
"Not yet, I'll try and research some more. In the meantime, I think we should all get something to eat."
Once the eating was established, pizza was promptly ordered. No one felt like eating out in the rain, despite the efforts presented by Cyborg and Beast Boy. However, once the pizza was delivered, all arguments were put aside and spent on to eating the Pizza. Of course, they had to order a couple different toppings, knowing the select taste of a few.
"Dude, it is totally good! You're the one eating a poor animal!" Beast said.
"Yeah, but at least it doesn't taste like that tofu stuff," argued Cyborg.
So the tradition of eating continued on, with laughter and joking. The rain poured on heavier outside, leaving trails of rain upon the windows of the tower. Small crackling of lightning followed by thunder trailed on while they dined. Once, the lights threatened to flicker out, but to everyone's enjoyment, they fought to stay lit. Once they were finished, they all were throwing out cardboard, cleaning dishes and cups, and putting away everything that was used during the meal.
The loud blaring siren with red lights flashed amongst the Titans at the tower, and they all rushed towards the main meeting area of the room. It was plainly stated that there was a problem in the area. However, something wasn't right. Raven was the first to notice.
"Robin, doesn't it normally give a location as to where it is taking place?" she asked.
"Yes, it does. It says so right...huh? That's weird...it isn't giving an exact location." stated Robin.
With each attempt to locate the location, and it changed each time, static would take its place. It was strange, to say the least, for it would normally alert if such a thing were to take place. However, with each passing second of trying to locate, it would static out, and seem to be continuously searching. Searching, from the beginning to where it would blank out into snow.
"Perhaps Slade has invented something to stop us from being able to locate the position of where it happened. We have to fly around the city, to find any disturbances. Raven and Starfire, you two will have to fly out while the rest of us follow behind." Robin said.
"Dude, I can so totally fly!" Beast said.
"Then fly! We all just have to find out what's happened! Titans, go!"
With that, they all ran out of the tower, and those who could fly took to the skies while Cyborg drove close behind with Robin inside of the car. The rain poured down endlessly it seemed, into the night air. They headed for the city, for any disturbance. The streets were lined with lights, glaring from the fog of the rain, and the alleyways were unusually dark and shadowy. Parties and Dance Clubs could be heard even from above, as the pounding music would sound off into the night sky with defiance. It would appear as if nothing was wrong at all.
"Oh Raven, I can not see a thing! This rain stings, and I can not see anything wrong," Star said, flying next to Raven.
"Maybe that machine is just broken, we use it so much," Raven said, with doubt.
"I am sure it is not broken! We must never give up!"
With that, they flew on, with Beast Boy in the shape of an owl to fly silently, and get a better view of the night life. Suddenly, something caught his eyes, and he made a whistling owl sound. Raven and Starfire without hesitation followed, knowing his animal instincts reigned supreme over their humanoid, and well alien, ones. Robin and Cyborg noticed the change in course, and veered to follow them. Suddenly, in sight, there was a strange thing about them. A young boy, it seemed, was running. From what, they could not see, but he was running. They were about to go down and ask for what was wrong when suddenly, they fell.
Raven and Starfire were flying up ahead as Beast Boy flew down low under them, to try and catch up to the boy. Suddenly, Raven's head jerked as she felt something pulsate. "What is that...?" she thought to herself, but she couldn't even look to Starfire to see if she felt something too, or even Beast Boy. For suddenly, the ripple grew greater, and they simply fell from the sky like rocks, plummeting to the ground, which of course not to their surprise, they fell on top of the boy causing them to crash into the ground spilling trashcans everywhere.
When they finally opened there eyes, there was just rain and sky as far as they could see. Nothing seemed abnormal, and nothing seemed changed. However, what Raven had felt, she was sure it wasn't normal. She looked to Star, who was mangled with the boy as well as Beast Boy. Raven realized herself that she was basically tangled on top of Beast Boy. She levitated herself above them, causing him to crash to the ground with a loud and sudden thump. Instantaneously, he rubbed his butt tenderly and frowned, demanding to know why he was just simply dumped. Meanwhile, Starfire edged closer to the young man over in the corner that they had ungraciously bumped into.
"I am terribly sorry for causing you bodily harm. I shall examine you to make sure you are not further injured," she said, looking at the boy, his face hidden under the cap.
As she edged closer, the boy smacked her hand back, his face still invisible, "I don't need anyone's help."
"Oh...I am terribly sorry that I have left such an imprint upon you. Please, allow me to help. I am Starfire and this is my dear friend Raven. We must examine you, you could be hurt," she said.
He edged away even more, backing into the wall of the alleyway, "For the last time, I don't need you, I don't need anyone."
"Star, he's just..." Raven was about to say, but she was interrupted by the feeling of the strange wind, blasts of energy, and Star's face of shock.
When they turned around, before them levitated was vessel that hadn't been there before. It was metallic and every long and skinny, with ragged edges along it, and a dorsal fin looking top. It had what looked like cats eyes along the sides of the ship, and it was deep dark brooding black coloration that would even surprise Raven. The cat eyes were daring and slit evilly, glaring at all who would take their time to marvel at its majestic chrome. It held a slight dome-shape in the font, possibly a window of sorts. The rain poured down upon it, but not completely. It seemed to sort of stop right before it hit the ship, and when examined closely, it didn't hit the ship at all. It seemed to be encased inside an invisible bubble causing the rain to just hit it, and then slide down its invisible casing almost like it would hit a window, causing streaks that would disappear almost instantly. Defiantly a protection barrier, most likely a force field encasing the long, large space ship to protect it against attacks and various other ailments.
The red laser beams flew past them with tremendous speeds, seeming to heat up anything within its path. Heat guns, it seemed, or at least what someone would have called it since it melted anything, even concrete to a cement-like liquid. The target, however, seemed to be the boy. Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy didn't know what it meant, but somehow it seemed they should help him. He ran past them, however, and past the ship which abruptly turned tail and chased after him, down the other alleyway path. Raven and Starfire were about to go, and Beast Boy was already on his way, when Robin and Cyborg sped down their alley.
"Rave, Star, Beast Boy...what..." Robin was about to ask, but was cut off.
"Talking about it won't get us anywhere, just follow that UFO," Raven said, somewhat enthusiastic.
With that, they all jumped into the car and sped after it. It didn't have a clue that they were chasing them, until Raven leaped out of the top of the car, and chanted her all too familiar phrase.
"Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!"
Tons of barrels were lifted off the ground, obviously used to store various items but were currently empty as they passed warehouses along the streets and alleyways of the city. It didn't even affect the ship, but it caused smaller guns to pop up off the back and shoot back explosives at them. Starfire flew energy blasts at it, while Beast Boy Turned into a T- Rex and jumped upon it, and Robin and Cyborg were doing their sonic boom. Beast Boy just slid off, Starfire's energy blast was simply absorbed, and Cy's and Robin's attacks were bounced off and hit a few trees along the edge of a park. Cyborg swerved the car to avoid them as best as he could, but there were four different guns. It didn't look promising.
"Guys, we gotta be able to get in front of it and possibly save the boy. Raven, fly up ahead and try and lift him up," Robin ordered, and Raven obeyed.
She flew up, barely dodging the explosives that were being tossed out from the back cannons, and the rays of red that would melt her skin at a moments touch. She swerved passed until she got a good view of the boy who was running. She could now see him clearly, in the street lights and the red laser beams that nearly hit him. He was wearing the baggiest pants she had ever seen someone where, and they looked to be torn up jeans. He wore a jacket of sorts, which seemed to be rather worn out as well and made of some jean material and sweat material. He wore a cap as well worn somewhat crooked, since all the running must have caused it to fall off a bunch of times. His hands were upon the cap, holding it shut, but it seemed as if he was wearing more than just the jacket. It seemed he was wearing layers. Perhaps, that was all he owned?
Raven then got above all the shooting, and chanted, her eyes glowing a brilliant black, with black emitting from her hands, as a black bubble encased the boy. She lifted him up, as the ship moved right past them, and down the street. Raven then flew to the direction of the car, which was headed backwards and turned left down the street to avoid contact with the ship. She followed, with a screaming sound from the boy who was floating ahead of her now, as she made him stay at a good arms length away from her. When they finally didn't hear any of the ships humming noise, or the blasting of cannons and ray guns, they hid within the darkness of an old abandoned ware house, to try and avoid the clutches of this evil thing.
They then entered the ware house, and Raven set the boy down, but everyone surrounded him. He was frightened; it was obvious, but trying to hide it with an acknowledgeable courage that gave off a dominant aura from his body. His shoes were torn, and so was his jacket, which covered over a hoodie, which probably covered two or more shirts as well. The old storage place wasn't in better shape, neither. The walls were cracking, and the rain was leaking in. It could be heard outside, and small trickling of whatever could be heard as each droplet fell onto a puddle of water inside. It smelled of mold, and there were just old crates that were rotted away. The Titans turned to the boy, who clenched his fists even tighter.
"When I say leave me alone, and that I don't need anyone, I mean it," he said, his voice sounding angry and upset, rather deep yet, something was odd about it.
"We do not wish to cause you any harm, we merely wish to help and understand what it is you are running from," Starfire said, as she closed in on the boy.
He backed up, and Robin held out a hand, "Star, don't close in on him." He then looked to the boy, not moving, but obviously had an authority figure about him, "Look, we got a call in saying we were needed for help. It didn't give us a location, so we are sorry if we interfered, but it seemed you were in need of assistance."
"Look, masked man, I don't need you, or anyone. This is my problem, not yours," he said, and a small red gleam could be seen from under the cap.
"Hey, yo, we were just trying to help. Chill out, it's cool. We'll leave yah alone, once we get the things were after yah," Cyborg said.
"Look, you don't understand, I..." he started to say, in a much calmer and higher voice, when there was a loud boom and the roof crumbled above them.
They all ran towards the edge of the building, where it wasn't falling, and the ship came in through the roof towards them. The boy panicked, and then ran outside of the building with surprising speed. The Titans then took off after him, following him down the alleyways as the ship started shooting again. The car swerved, until it nearly hit the wall of the dead end. The boy curled up into the corner, as the ship veered closer to him.
"You shall never escape, you must perish for what you have done," the metallic voice rang out from the ship.
"G-Go away! I don't want you to bother me anymore! Stay back! I don't know what you're talking about!" he cried.
"It doesn't matter if you forget, or if you're lying. You must die. Now," and with that, the ship got closer.
"NO!" He cried, and put up a hand.
That's when the Titans were stunned, as it deflected the ship completely, causing it to basically shoot out aimlessly, and accidentally shooting at the ship itself, for it flipped and when it shot out, it shot out the same direction the ship was headed. It the occurred to Robin, what they had to do, as one of the laser beams fell to the ground. The only way to penetrate the seal that encased the ship was to blast it with one of its own beams. Robin rolled over, picked up the gun, and pointed it at the ship.
"Hey metal head, over here," he called out, as the ship swerved to him.
"What are you supposed to be?" the metallic voice called out, almost laughing at the end with its monotone type laugh.
"You're worse nightmare," Robin said, as he fired the gun.
The ship promptly exploded, and then short circuited. However, this caused an explosion. They all ran for cover, when they realized the boy was not there. They turned to him, and he curled inside a ball and watched as all the debris simply exploded around him, like he had his own force field. He suddenly fainted, as the debris stopped and rocks flew every which direction. The smoke cleared, and the team scooped him up, and took him in the car.
---Morning, at the T Tower---
With the sun rising, the boy opened his eyes into a strange room, his face filled with those strange people who helped him. He knew they couldn't see his face, for he kept it hidden under the cap, but at an angle, he could see them. He abruptly sat up, and tried to leave. However, Cyborg's persistent hand held him down, and he could barely put up a fight. He was human, and Cyborg could hold more weights than he could.
"Woah, easy there tough guy. You had quite a night there," He said, as his chrome hand held him down.
"Let me go, I'm out," he said, as he tried to get up.
"Not until I system scan you to make sure you're okay, kid," He said, as she began to run the system checks.
"I don't want a check, I'm a guy, and I can make it. I want out," he said.
"What's your name, kid?" Robin asked.
"If you must know it's...it's Phill. Phillip," he said.
"How did a boy like you get caught up in a mess like this?" Raven asked, from behind her cloak.
"Uh...guys...either this thing is messed up, or that isn't a Phill," Cyborg said.
"What do you mean, Cyborg?" asked Starfire, "I do not know of what you speak of."
"It's not a Phill...but...a Phyllis!" Cyborg said, as he looked up at the stranger they had rescued.
His eyes went wide, as they all stared at him. They didn't know what he meant, until Cyborg continued.
"It ain't a dude, it's a girl."
The End.
So how do you like it so far? I hope I didn't move to slowly, and I hope that I didn't move to fast either. I hope I didn't do a lot of things, now that I think about it hehe. Well, I just hope that you like it, and that the cliffhanger won't make you hate me, but make you wish to read. Perhaps I'll get some reviews, and once I get time (since I was sick when I wrote this) you will have fun reading it.
It's PG-13, but I dunno. With violence, and the deepness of this fic, it might be rated to R later. However, I think it suits is perfectly for now.
Well, enjoy, and Ja ne.

Ch 1 – The Chase Begins
The air was brisk and cold, fluttering about on an autumn evening where the milk colored waning moon hovered above the earth's atmosphere, shedding small amounts of light reflected off of the sun, looking like a pale maiden hidden amongst the diamond stars sewed into the velvety black sky. Small breezes carried tiny raindrops gracefully across the city streets where the lamplights droned out the moon that was being covered in a dark grey matter of water molecules, in the form of clouds.

"Oh, Robin! Do explain the information that is so interesting to us!" Starfire said, repeating everything as usual only backwards.
Robin walked forward even more, with a small disc within his hands, "I shall. You see here, on this disc, is some strange information that seemed to have 'accidentally' leaked from someone within Slade's department." He then took the disc, and seemed to scuffle over to the side and place it within the disc holder, that went back into the device. It projected some stats, and other models on the TV, and as it went through them, Robin continued talking, "It would seem that he is gathering some things to build a machine. I don't know what it's for, but it seems to be for some sort of time or space travel. He's getting some pretty powerful people to try and stop us, not to mention get stolen stuff. He probably wants to do something to the city, my guess something that he has to go great lengths for."
"How did you get this information?" Raven asked, skeptical as always.
"It would seem that either someone is betraying him and purposely giving us some information for us to lead on, or some kid accidentally found some of the stuff and found it amusing to post it on a private computer. I sort of got some leads and hacked into it."

"I'm not so sure, we can't go on every detail yet. It might not even have to do with anything related to Slade; we can just pray that it does. When I find out what he's planning, I'm taking him down."
Robin clenched his fists.
"So, you're not even certain yet." Raven said doubtfully.'
"Raven! Do not be so gloomy! Robin has done more work than any, and he tries to save! He does not want to jump to conclusions, but it is obvious that something about Slade has been found out! It is possible it is true." Star said.
"Star's right, I just don't want to jump into it, if we don't know what we are getting into," Robin said.
"So, dude, what do we do? Just sit around here and pretend not to know anything? I for one think we should kick butt!" exclaimed the green Beast Boy.
"Not yet, I'll try and research some more. In the meantime, I think we should all get something to eat."
Once the eating was established, pizza was promptly ordered. No one felt like eating out in the rain, despite the efforts presented by Cyborg and Beast Boy.

"Robin, doesn't it normally give a location as to where it is taking place?" she asked.
"Yes, it does. It says so right...huh? That's weird...it isn't giving an exact location." stated Robin.
With each attempt to locate the location, and it changed each time, static would take its place. It was strange, to say the least, for it would normally alert if such a thing were to take place.

"Dude, I can so totally fly!" Beast said.
"Then fly! We all just have to find out what's happened! Titans, go!"
With that, they all ran out of the tower, and those who could fly took to the skies while Cyborg drove close behind with Robin inside of the car. The rain poured down endlessly it seemed, into the night air. They headed for the city, for any disturbance. The streets were lined with lights, glaring from the fog of the rain, and the alleyways were unusually dark and shadowy. Parties and Dance Clubs could be heard even from above, as the pounding music would sound off into the night sky with defiance. It would appear as if nothing was wrong at all.
"Oh Raven, I can not see a thing! This rain stings, and I can not see anything wrong," Star said, flying next to Raven.
"Maybe that machine is just broken, we use it so much," Raven said, with doubt.
"I am sure it is not broken! We must never give up!"
With that, they flew on, with Beast Boy in the shape of an owl to fly silently, and get a better view of the night life. Suddenly, something caught his eyes, and he made a whistling owl sound. Raven and Starfire without hesitation followed, knowing his animal instincts reigned supreme over their humanoid, and well alien, ones. Robin and Cyborg noticed the change in course, and veered to follow them. Suddenly, in sight, there was a strange thing about them. A young boy, it seemed, was running. From what, they could not see, but he was running. They were about to go down and ask for what was wrong when suddenly, they fell.
Raven and Starfire were flying up ahead as Beast Boy flew down low under them, to try and catch up to the boy. Suddenly, Raven's head jerked as she felt something pulsate. "What is that...?" she thought to herself, but she couldn't even look to Starfire to see if she felt something too, or even Beast Boy. For suddenly, the ripple grew greater, and they simply fell from the sky like rocks, plummeting to the ground, which of course not to their surprise, they fell on top of the boy causing them to crash into the ground spilling trashcans everywhere.
When they finally opened there eyes, there was just rain and sky as far as they could see. Nothing seemed abnormal, and nothing seemed changed. However, what Raven had felt, she was sure it wasn't normal. She looked to Star, who was mangled with the boy as well as Beast Boy. Raven realized herself that she was basically tangled on top of Beast Boy. She levitated herself above them, causing him to crash to the ground with a loud and sudden thump. Instantaneously, he rubbed his butt tenderly and frowned, demanding to know why he was just simply dumped. Meanwhile, Starfire edged closer to the young man over in the corner that they had ungraciously bumped into.
"I am terribly sorry for causing you bodily harm. I shall examine you to make sure you are not further injured," she said, looking at the boy, his face hidden under the cap.
As she edged closer, the boy smacked her hand back, his face still invisible, "I don't need anyone's help."
"Oh...I am terribly sorry that I have left such an imprint upon you. Please, allow me to help. I am Starfire and this is my dear friend Raven. We must examine you, you could be hurt," she said.
He edged away even more, backing into the wall of the alleyway, "For the last time, I don't need you, I don't need anyone."
"Star, he's just..." Raven was about to say, but she was interrupted by the feeling of the strange wind, blasts of energy, and Star's face of shock.
When they turned around, before them levitated was vessel that hadn't been there before. It was metallic and every long and skinny, with ragged edges along it, and a dorsal fin looking top. It had what looked like cats eyes along the sides of the ship, and it was deep dark brooding black coloration that would even surprise Raven. The cat eyes were daring and slit evilly, glaring at all who would take their time to marvel at its majestic chrome. It held a slight dome-shape in the font, possibly a window of sorts. The rain poured down upon it, but not completely. It seemed to sort of stop right before it hit the ship, and when examined closely, it didn't hit the ship at all. It seemed to be encased inside an invisible bubble causing the rain to just hit it, and then slide down its invisible casing almost like it would hit a window, causing streaks that would disappear almost instantly. Defiantly a protection barrier, most likely a force field encasing the long, large space ship to protect it against attacks and various other ailments.
The red laser beams flew past them with tremendous speeds, seeming to heat up anything within its path. Heat guns, it seemed, or at least what someone would have called it since it melted anything, even concrete to a cement-like liquid. The target, however, seemed to be the boy. Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy didn't know what it meant, but somehow it seemed they should help him. He ran past them, however, and past the ship which abruptly turned tail and chased after him, down the other alleyway path. Raven and Starfire were about to go, and Beast Boy was already on his way, when Robin and Cyborg sped down their alley.
"Rave, Star, Beast Boy...what..." Robin was about to ask, but was cut off.
"Talking about it won't get us anywhere, just follow that UFO," Raven said, somewhat enthusiastic.
With that, they all jumped into the car and sped after it. It didn't have a clue that they were chasing them, until Raven leaped out of the top of the car, and chanted her all too familiar phrase.
"Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!"
Tons of barrels were lifted off the ground, obviously used to store various items but were currently empty as they passed warehouses along the streets and alleyways of the city. It didn't even affect the ship, but it caused smaller guns to pop up off the back and shoot back explosives at them. Starfire flew energy blasts at it, while Beast Boy Turned into a T- Rex and jumped upon it, and Robin and Cyborg were doing their sonic boom. Beast Boy just slid off, Starfire's energy blast was simply absorbed, and Cy's and Robin's attacks were bounced off and hit a few trees along the edge of a park. Cyborg swerved the car to avoid them as best as he could, but there were four different guns. It didn't look promising.
"Guys, we gotta be able to get in front of it and possibly save the boy. Raven, fly up ahead and try and lift him up," Robin ordered, and Raven obeyed.
She flew up, barely dodging the explosives that were being tossed out from the back cannons, and the rays of red that would melt her skin at a moments touch. She swerved passed until she got a good view of the boy who was running. She could now see him clearly, in the street lights and the red laser beams that nearly hit him. He was wearing the baggiest pants she had ever seen someone where, and they looked to be torn up jeans. He wore a jacket of sorts, which seemed to be rather worn out as well and made of some jean material and sweat material. He wore a cap as well worn somewhat crooked, since all the running must have caused it to fall off a bunch of times. His hands were upon the cap, holding it shut, but it seemed as if he was wearing more than just the jacket. It seemed he was wearing layers. Perhaps, that was all he owned?
Raven then got above all the shooting, and chanted, her eyes glowing a brilliant black, with black emitting from her hands, as a black bubble encased the boy. She lifted him up, as the ship moved right past them, and down the street. Raven then flew to the direction of the car, which was headed backwards and turned left down the street to avoid contact with the ship. She followed, with a screaming sound from the boy who was floating ahead of her now, as she made him stay at a good arms length away from her. When they finally didn't hear any of the ships humming noise, or the blasting of cannons and ray guns, they hid within the darkness of an old abandoned ware house, to try and avoid the clutches of this evil thing.
They then entered the ware house, and Raven set the boy down, but everyone surrounded him. He was frightened; it was obvious, but trying to hide it with an acknowledgeable courage that gave off a dominant aura from his body. His shoes were torn, and so was his jacket, which covered over a hoodie, which probably covered two or more shirts as well. The old storage place wasn't in better shape, neither. The walls were cracking, and the rain was leaking in. It could be heard outside, and small trickling of whatever could be heard as each droplet fell onto a puddle of water inside. It smelled of mold, and there were just old crates that were rotted away. The Titans turned to the boy, who clenched his fists even tighter.
"When I say leave me alone, and that I don't need anyone, I mean it," he said, his voice sounding angry and upset, rather deep yet, something was odd about it.
"We do not wish to cause you any harm, we merely wish to help and understand what it is you are running from," Starfire said, as she closed in on the boy.
He backed up, and Robin held out a hand, "Star, don't close in on him." He then looked to the boy, not moving, but obviously had an authority figure about him, "Look, we got a call in saying we were needed for help. It didn't give us a location, so we are sorry if we interfered, but it seemed you were in need of assistance."
"Look, masked man, I don't need you, or anyone. This is my problem, not yours," he said, and a small red gleam could be seen from under the cap.
"Hey, yo, we were just trying to help. Chill out, it's cool. We'll leave yah alone, once we get the things were after yah," Cyborg said.
"Look, you don't understand, I..." he started to say, in a much calmer and higher voice, when there was a loud boom and the roof crumbled above them.
They all ran towards the edge of the building, where it wasn't falling, and the ship came in through the roof towards them. The boy panicked, and then ran outside of the building with surprising speed. The Titans then took off after him, following him down the alleyways as the ship started shooting again. The car swerved, until it nearly hit the wall of the dead end. The boy curled up into the corner, as the ship veered closer to him.
"You shall never escape, you must perish for what you have done," the metallic voice rang out from the ship.
"G-Go away! I don't want you to bother me anymore! Stay back! I don't know what you're talking about!" he cried.
"It doesn't matter if you forget, or if you're lying. You must die. Now," and with that, the ship got closer.
"NO!" He cried, and put up a hand.
That's when the Titans were stunned, as it deflected the ship completely, causing it to basically shoot out aimlessly, and accidentally shooting at the ship itself, for it flipped and when it shot out, it shot out the same direction the ship was headed. It the occurred to Robin, what they had to do, as one of the laser beams fell to the ground. The only way to penetrate the seal that encased the ship was to blast it with one of its own beams. Robin rolled over, picked up the gun, and pointed it at the ship.
"Hey metal head, over here," he called out, as the ship swerved to him.
"What are you supposed to be?" the metallic voice called out, almost laughing at the end with its monotone type laugh.
"You're worse nightmare," Robin said, as he fired the gun.
The ship promptly exploded, and then short circuited. However, this caused an explosion. They all ran for cover, when they realized the boy was not there. They turned to him, and he curled inside a ball and watched as all the debris simply exploded around him, like he had his own force field. He suddenly fainted, as the debris stopped and rocks flew every which direction. The smoke cleared, and the team scooped him up, and took him in the car.
---Morning, at the T Tower---
With the sun rising, the boy opened his eyes into a strange room, his face filled with those strange people who helped him. He knew they couldn't see his face, for he kept it hidden under the cap, but at an angle, he could see them. He abruptly sat up, and tried to leave. However, Cyborg's persistent hand held him down, and he could barely put up a fight. He was human, and Cyborg could hold more weights than he could.
"Woah, easy there tough guy. You had quite a night there," He said, as his chrome hand held him down.
"Let me go, I'm out," he said, as he tried to get up.
"Not until I system scan you to make sure you're okay, kid," He said, as she began to run the system checks.
"I don't want a check, I'm a guy, and I can make it. I want out," he said.
"What's your name, kid?" Robin asked.
"If you must know it's...it's Phill. Phillip," he said.
"How did a boy like you get caught up in a mess like this?" Raven asked, from behind her cloak.
"Uh...guys...either this thing is messed up, or that isn't a Phill," Cyborg said.
"What do you mean, Cyborg?" asked Starfire, "I do not know of what you speak of."
"It's not a Phill...but...a Phyllis!" Cyborg said, as he looked up at the stranger they had rescued.
His eyes went wide, as they all stared at him. They didn't know what he meant, until Cyborg continued.
"It ain't a dude, it's a girl."
The End.
So how do you like it so far? I hope I didn't move to slowly, and I hope that I didn't move to fast either. I hope I didn't do a lot of things, now that I think about it hehe. Well, I just hope that you like it, and that the cliffhanger won't make you hate me, but make you wish to read. Perhaps I'll get some reviews, and once I get time (since I was sick when I wrote this) you will have fun reading it.
It's PG-13, but I dunno. With violence, and the deepness of this fic, it might be rated to R later. However, I think it suits is perfectly for now.
Well, enjoy, and Ja ne.
