First of all, I'd like to thank all you Raven fans for your positive feedback. Rainbow roses to you all! Muse of the stars, you're a really good friend! Blue and yellow roses! Okay, y'all. Here's Chapter 5. Enjoy!
Chapter 5: Captivity
"Three's a crowd, Slade", said Raven "I suggest you leave". "Oh, I'll leave, no doubt", answered Slade coolly "after I've acquired what I came for". Raven raised an eyebrow. "Which is?" she asked.
Slade's robots surrounded the two girls as Slade explained, "You see, I've taken up a new hobby. I've decided to try a new power for my latest cannon to destroy the city: Star power".
Raven moved in front of Kaytie. "You're out of luck, Slade", she said, "How do you even know if there's a star here?"
"Oh, come now, Raven", said Slade, "Surely you know me better than that. Last night my machines' sensors picked up a star falling to the earth. When I got to the crater, there was nothing inside except footsteps. I knew one of you must have taken the star before me. So I sent one part of my minions to commit a petty crime, distracting you Titans from her, luring you from home. My only minor setback is finding you here with her. I should have known you wouldn't leave her defenseless".
"Sorry to disappoint you, Slade", said Raven, sarcastically "but Kaytie trusts me to protect her, and that's what I intend to do".
Crossing her arms in front of her, palms out, she chanted, "Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!" The circle of black energy knocked down the surrounding bots for a minute, and she yelled at Kaytie,
"Kaytie, run! Don't look back no matter what! GO!"
Bursting into tears, Kaytie ran for it while Raven tried to fight off the robots. Raven picked up a robot with her powers and threw him at Slade, who'd been trying to get Kaytie.
He got back up and ran after her again. "No!" yelled Raven, and she threw another guy at Slade, but he dodged him. Raven flew after him and tripped him with another minion.
She took off after Kaytie and scooped her up. Suddenly, her arms were pinned to her side by a restraining brace with Slade's icon on it. (Description: Electric steel. It has four spider-like legs. The Icon is in the middle.)
She dropped Kaytie and fell to the floor, straining with the electricity it was shocking her with. "Raven!" cried Kaytie. She rushed to her friend's side.
"No!" Raven said, "Don't touch it! Run to the others! Hurry!" Hesitating, Kaytie slowly backed off, bumping into Slade's leg. Frozen, she looked up into his face. She stared at him, petrified.
"Get away from her!" shouted Raven. Not heeding her, Slade touched Kaytie's back with another shock gadget, K-O ing her. She squeaked and slumped to the floor.
"Kaytie!" shouted Raven feeling, not for the first time, (if you've been paying attention to the series) fear for a friend. Slade picked up the child under his arm; one of his minions picked up Raven, struggling in vain to break free. Her powers were no good; the restraint was anti- energy.
The minion dropped her on the couch as Slade approached her with the rest of the group. "My apologies, Raven", he said over her, "but I can't very well have you follow me, can I?"
A robot brought out a metal pole, pushed a button on it, and it squiggled around and constricted around Raven's legs. "Afternoon, Raven" said Slade as he turned his back on her.
"Come back here!" she called after him, again in vain "Leave her alone! Let her go!" Slade, not saying a word, left the tower.
Rage burning within her, Raven screamed at the top of her lungs, "SLADE!!!"
What do you think of that, readers? Stay tuned!
