Chapter Seven: Talk to an Angel
Lecita wandered along, running slowly with the Titans in pursute. She didn't mind them, but Robin was glaring at her. Lecita felt extremly nervous and a little annoyed at the fact that he seemed to still hate her. "Here we are," she annonced to them, turning a corner into a narrow, shadowy alleyway.
"Good." Robin moved forward. They were a little under ten hours away from the final choice, and Robin wanted to get to Raven. I have to tell her how sorry I am, he thought. She'll still hate me, though.
"Come on, man." Cyborg grabbed his arm and yanked him roughly inside the building. Robin found they were standing in the same lair as last night, only the room was different. No signs of life were anywhere.
If Robin had thought to try the door, he would have found out that Raven was calmly meditating behind it. She had long since exshasted herself trying to get out, and was now trying to clear her mind. She thought she heard the voices of her friends, but told herself she was hearing things.
"He'll be out soon. Let's try to find your friend," Lecita suggested. Everyone nodded and split up. Robin and Starfire went in one direction, Beast Boy in another. Cyborg went toward the back of the room, and Lecita jumped up into the rafters.
Robin wandered towards a corner, unaware that he was being watched. Slade and Terra looked down on him, Slade grinning slightly. "Go," he whispered to Terra. Terra threw a couple rocks at the back of his head. "Bullseye!"
"You little..." Robin glared at her, then noticed that she was standing next to Slade. "Where is Raven?" Robin jumped up toward the rafters.
"Your friend is still unharmed. Have you come to join me? Only eight hours remain, after all." Slade looked at him hard. What is he thinking?
Lecita came up behind Slade and Terra. She was about to do the only thing that made sense: She leaned over and shoved them onto the floor. Jumping down after them, she declared, "Slade, this is the only thing I have to say to you. I hope you're happy, because I'm not on your side anymore!"
The others came running over at the sight of Terra and Slade falling from the rafters. Terra stood up and yelled, "Lecita, do you think we need you? I mean, of all the groups for you to join when you left us, the Titans?" Slade got up too, and the two of them readied for a fight.
"It doesn't have to be this way. Terra, I really thought you cared about me!" Beast Boy looked at her with hurt in his eyes. "Just tell us where Raven is, and we can forget this without hurting anyone."
"You thought Terra cared?" Slade laughed. "Beast Boy, Terra has been my friend from the start. She was messing with your mind, she told me so. She never liked you."
"Slade helped me control my powers. You just laughed. In truth, Raven was the only one who saw me for what I was. But she's not among you anymore, now is she?" Terra looked around, her eyes wild with the power she had at the metion of Raven.
Robin lost the calm and reason he had, and jumped at Terra. He managed to kick her, hard, in the side. Terra fell, startled. "Robin, come after me, if you really miss your friend at all. After all, it's my fault, isn't it?" In answer, the four remaining team members all struck him with various powers. Terra got back up, and the feild turned into a free-for-all.
Lecita abandoned the battle and headed to a door she'd seen. She kicked it, but it was locked. She fingered the lockpick in her pocket and started to work on the door. A loud voice told her she had to get back, though, so she ran into the main room.
The Titans had managed to shove Terra into a corner, and Cyborg was covering her. The other three were having a hard time getting Slade to go down. "Lecita," Robin hollored, "go find Raven!" She took this as a reason not to battle and left again. She got the door to click open, and found the girl meditating in the middle of the room. "Raven?" She asked.
Raven opened one eye. "Hello, Lecita. Are you here to bug me?" She looked at her carfully.
"No, Raven. Your friends are here, they need you help them fight. Please, come on. I'm not with Slade anymore!" Lecita looked at her, silently praying again.
Raven dropped to the floor and stood up. "My friends..." She ran out the door, Lecita following her. The two of them found out that Beast Boy had been taken out of the battle, and Robin and Starfire weren't working so well together. The two girls ran in.
Slade was hit from behind and fell over. Robin watched in wonder, because only one person could have caused that black energy ball. Raven stood there, glaring at her fallen enemy. Robin and Lecita lunged in at the same time, hurting their foe.
"Curses upon you. All of you will fall to me, soon. Lecita, you are a meddlesome fool. Titans, shelter her and all will die. I will not rest until Robin serves me!" Slade self-destucted his lair yet again, grabbing Terra's wrist. Terra laughed and the two of them, the most evil people in the lives of all the Titans.
"Let's go home," Raven said. The group ran outside and watched another building burn to the ground. "He sure likes fire," Beast Boy commented.
"Yes, he does." Raven looked at them all, her friends. They'd been willing to come back for her. That was enough for her. "Thank you, you guys."
"We are most glad to see you are safe," Starfire said quietly.
"Look, Raven, about what happened before..." Robin began trying to explain it to her. At that moment, though, Cyborg cut him off.
"Raven, can we go to the pizza joint?" Cyborg asked hopefully. Robin seeped with fustration. He was trying to tell Raven how he felt, and all Cy was worried about was pizza?
"If it's okay with you, I'd rather go home." Raven was a mess, dirt clinging to her hair and her cloak torn. The others agreed home was fine, but Raven insisted that Lecita come.
"Your sister...We'll help you find her." Lecita opened her eyes in shock. How did Raven know about her sister, and that she wanted help finding her? Lecita accepted the help.
Robin sighed. The price to pay had been great, but now it felt even greater. There she was, but he just couldn't tell her yet. She has a heart of gold, he thought. She wants to help Lecita. Then he had an idea. If he were the one to rescue Lecita's sister, maybe she would see him as a good guy. Maybe she'll even like me, he thought. Looking at her, Robin wanted to know how he was supposed to talk to an angel and tell her he loved her. They headed for the tower in peaceful silence, but the death still to come, unknown to them, was far from peaceful.
