Chapter 6: Titan falling and Rising
Robin collapsed to the ground hiding his tears. Starfire ran to the kitchen to make her sadess pudding. Cyborg looked at Robin then he looked at the floor. Beastboy did the same as cyborg.
"Well...we defeated 3 members of the H.I.V.E? Look to the bright side!" said Beastboy trying to break the silence. Robin glared at him, and beastboy backed off. Cyborg decided he needed to keep thinks in order a bit.
"Dude, robin, BB was just trying to help you look at the bright side!" Cyborg tried to get Robin to apoligize. And it worked!
"Alright, your right. I'm sorry beastboy. If anyone wants me I'll be training." Robin walked away with that. Starfire sighed and came in,
"I'm so sorry Robin, but it seems we don't have the right ingrediants for the sadness pu-" Starfire looked up and noticed he was gone. She shrugged ".....do earth people always walk off when others are talking?" she asked the two left in the room. Cyborg shook his head no.
"No Star, he was gone seconds before you came in." Beastboy said. Starfire made an Ohhhhh! Feeling rather stupid Starfire just plopped on he coach hoping Robin would come out soon. They really should go look for Raven. Beastboy and Cyborg played 'Racing bullets 2' and kept yelling.
Robin punched the punching bag. His force and anger ripped a hole in it. The second time he punched it all the beans fell out.
"Raven will be ok....robin calm down." he told himself. A knock rapped on the T-tower. Cyborg awnsered it first. Before him stood a girl looking sorta like terra only, she had brown hair with blue highlights. She was wearing a sort of dress. It ended before her knees, it had a v-neck and the lines from the ..well look V the lines continued from the v making sort of an x only not really. IT was two layers, the first a see through blue, and the second layer was a silkwhite. HEr eyes were a sea blue. Cyborg was dumbfounded, she was soooo preety. Beastboy ran to the door, he agreed she was beautiful. Robin never came. Starfire glared at her, noticing the boys were flirting with her.
"Hello. I'm Alexandra." her voice was soft yet beautiful "You can call me Alex."
"Hello Alex. Why are you here?" Starfire asked. "Do you wish to come inside?" Alexandra stepped inside gracefully. They noticed she wore see through blue glass like sandals with three skinny straps crossing, and two formed a place for her big toe.
"Thank you. I've come because I know things about Raven's dissapearence." she said. The two boys smiled a huge smile, "Great!" they said in unison. but starfire wasn't sure, Raven had tought her a thing or two.
"Wait! What are your powers?" Starfire asked. (for once this might be helpful)
"Um...Telekinesis, turning things into ice. Use anything to do with ice. I'm really good at computers and machine repair. So thats about it." Alex said "Oh and I read minds." she finished. Her hair was pulled into a pony tail, with one blue highlight hanging down on her face. I'm Terra's cousin, but I'm different from her." she smiled brightly. Meanwhile-
Raven lay on a bed, her leg and arm felt ripped off. Her clothes were torn in many places. She was unconciouss from a huge cut she had just gotten. There was knifes everywhere. There was a knife exactly 6 inches from her, and this is how it worked, every day it would drop an inch, so on the 6th day it would be touching her, and on the 7th.....Also, a poison had been injectred into her, and she had fallen into a coma. A person laughed a awful laugh. A lock of blonde hair fell from a tighty bun. ------------------------------back at the tower
Robin came down looking like a mess, he had heard the whole thing. If you help us find Raven....I suppose we can trust you for now.
"I'm robin." he said completely ignoring the fact she was beautiful. Alex smiled.
"Very nice to meet you." she said. Then looking serious she began to get to the topic.
"Well, I traced some clues to the H.I.V.E's cave." she said her blue eyes shone.
"What clues?" robin asked. The conversation seemed to last forever, and it was more like a small fight. Finnally the titans decided for some sleep. But alex shrugged.
"I don't need sleep where I come from." she said picking up one of Raven's books off the couch, "I'll read this" she said sitting down.
"well...ok." said Robin as he left with the others. When they had left she hit her head with the book, standing up.
"How can I tell them who it is without her finding out I betrayed her. Gosh dangit why does she have to be so darn clever!" Alex turned Ravens book into ice on accident.
"Whoops..." she said sitting down again. Alex sighed and though strangely about Cyborg. He was preety cute. Alex hit herself with the ice book again. "Focus Alex!" she said aloud but to herself. Later that night Alex decided that a nap wouldn't hurt, it wouldn't help either, but oh well. By time she was fast asleep the titans gathered for a meeting.
"She is much nicer then I thought." said Starfire practiclly yelling. Robin covered her mouth.
"Shhhh we might wake her up." said Robin in a whisper. Alex stirred. They were in the same room as her, so they had to be carefull.
"I say we make her an honorary titan." said Cyborg glancing at the sleeping girl.
"Me too." agreed Beastboy.
"But, she knows too much, how did she know Raven was kidnapped, we haven't told anyone. How does she know all of these clues? She knows something and won't tell us, I can feel it." argued Robin.
"Yeah I agree she's not telling us something." Beastboy quickly looked at her while speaking.
"Let's see if we can get it out of her." said robin uncovering Starfire's mouth. On cue they walked over to her.
"OK ALEX WE WANT TO KNOW YOUR SECRET!" Yelled Starfire, a huge wind blew them back.
"What? huh? Oh. I don't enjoy this sleep thing you see strange vision sort things. And also wait are you talking about I have no secret." Alex awoke her sea-blue eyes opening. Cyborg sighed a long look on his face. The rest of the titans did likewise.
"WAIT!" she said looking down at her shoes. "I'll tell you..." Alex sighed a tear fell from her face and froze when it touched the ground. More tears fell. Cyborg held out a hand. Alex accepted it and stood up.
"I..." she sniffed" sort of....well...um" more tears fell, but at a quicker pace.
"Go on, we're all ears." said Robin listening carefully.
"I guess you could say...I kind of...well I do..I....um....My co- ...well see....theres this...I've known this...I'm sorry , I don't know how to start." she said now crying.
Robin sighed "Just flat out say it, it'll be easier once you get it out." he said.
"Ok...your right. I...well me, no I know...um wait...ok! ok! I KNOW WHO STOLE RAVEN!" she said collapsing in frozen tears. Alex cried.
They all gasped.."Well who tell us!" demanded Robin shaking her.
"Back off her, Robin." Cyborg said, Robin backed off sighing.
"Ok...I'll tell you. The person who stole Raven is giving her a week, after that on the stroke of midnight of the 7th day she'll die." Began Alexandra. "And that person is.....

Ohhhh a cliff hanger yet again! Will she tell them? If she does who is it? Who does Cyborg's heart beat for? All these questions will be awnsered in the next chapter of 'Without Raven'
