Satan's Child

Gothic: My god, 12 reviews for the first chapter! Bring on the next chapter no doubt! I'll do my best to get the next few chapters up as fast as I can, but I can't guarantee anything. U_U

Kitty: Gothic owns nothing, blah, blah, blah…Whatever!

Gothic: On with the ficcie!  Oh, and I had to cut out the links on this chapter, as they didn't show and they cut off the start of the story. Damned thing.

~+~+~+~+~

For a few minutes, on top of the roof, no one spoke, no one moved, no one even dared breathe. Everyone was fixed on the glare of the shining bright light, that made out just about everyone. Eventually, the pilot spoke, a haunting voice, and it was then that Robin came to his senses.

"Code 33009731, and code 33009732 you are under arrest. Any move you make will be taken as a threat."

"Code what?" Cyborg managed to splutter.

"Everyone! Move!  Now!" Robin shouted out orders, the role of leader amongst the Titans falling slowly back into place, as the Titans themselves began to accept Robin's leadership once more, and aimed to follow his commands.

"They'll do whatever it takes to get us! You'll be endangering yourselves." Raven desperately tried to reason with Robin, but he was having none of it.

"Everyone separate. All meet back here, and remember to lead those guys off track." Robin grimly added. "Now move!"

Obeying Robin's orders, the Titans scattered, Cyborg dashing back into the Tower, Starfire heading upwards, Beast Boy heading for the water, Raven darting off for the shadows of behind the Tower, and Robin taking the bad guys head on, taking to the island itself.

"They have separated, I repeat, they have separated." The pilot who had originally caught the Titans on the roof was not alone, backup of 2 more helicopters came into place beside, flashlights, and missiles at the ready.

"Then search all areas. Nowhere is to be left unearthed. They will be more vulnerable separated." With these words, the three helicopters divided themselves, each one taking to a different area.

The first one took to the waters, where Beast Boy was, and possibly Robin. In two minutes, it was firing missiles into the water, as every sea creature possible surfaced and dived, natural and unnatural as the years of experiments took their toll on Beast Boy. Robin now crash landed on the helicopter, which was flying quite low, and began to rip it to pieces, bit by bit. Unknowingly, around Robin's waist was a navy blue belt, with similar looking compartments to his old utility belt he had always worn. Nobody except Starfire knew what this belt actually was, - a high tech, brand new edition of his trademark utility belt, fully equipped with everything he had had in his Titan days. Robin now drew out his staff, and leaping upwards, crashed back down, driving the staff straight into the roof of the copter.

"Code red, code red. We are in danger." The pilot had grabbed his transceiver, but Robin was quicker, yanking the staff forward, and into a rough oval, big enough for him to rip half the roof off, and drop into the craft.

"You're going to need more than a code to stop me mate." Robin replied, snatching the receiver, and crushing it beneath his foot as he flung it to the floor. "Now, tell me why you're hurting my friends." He grimly added.

"They're telling you lies buddy. They're highly dangerous, and have the power to crush the city. It is my sworn duty to eliminate them from the area, and return them to Business Enterprise, where they will be kept in quarantine. "


"The only thing going into quarantine is you." Robin severely retorted. "And tell your Business Enterprise that my friends are going nowhere." With that, Robin leapt from the helicopter via the hole he'd made, and watched the copter crash into the island below. Robin landed, brushed himself off, and turned towards the more important matter at hand.

~~~

Starfire meanwhile, wasn't coping too well with the helicopter that was ambushing her. It kept on firing at her, revealing hidden lasers and secret missiles. She had to duck, constantly, trying to find a weakness. When a missile brushed past her for the umpteenth time, anger bubbled inside of her. She darted downwards, underneath the copter, her eyes glowing a angry green. The alien shot up, a starbolt forming on her wrist, as she shot up, smashing into the craft, going straight through into the main body of the copter. The pilot screamed in fright as Starfire shot several starbolts at him, making him deliberately move. She then soared downwards, slipping through the bottom of the copter and landing on the rooftop. Looking around, with the wind blowing through her hair, horror ran through her as she noted the green eagle flapping upwards, desperate to avoid the missiles aimed at him.

Dude, what is it with these guys? Why can't they leave us alone? A particularly nasty laser shot past Beast Boy, singing a few feathers, and knocking him askew. In a moment of blind panic, he took to the right, aimed for the tower roof. The remaining helicopter shot two missiles, both aimed at the changeling, who already knew there was no escape, he wasn't fast enough.

"Beast Boy!" Starfire, also noting what was about to happen, quickly  shot upwards, darting in front of the bird, and promptly pushing him for the roof of Titans Tower. Completely losing control, Beast Boy plummeted for the concrete slabs, changing rapidly back into human form. Starfire meanwhile brandished angry starbolts, forcing the copter to swerve to the left in an attempt to avoid the fuming alien.

Too afraid to look, Beast Boy was about to make contact with the roof, - but never landed as Raven swiftly dashed from the shadows and caught him dead on. She gasped in a breath as Beast Boy refused to release his death grip on her coat. Gently, she persuaded him to let go, and stand on two feet, but still in her embrace.

"BB! You're okay! I saw you fall there, thought I was gonna have to scrape you off the concrete." Cyborg and Robin dropped in from somewhere about the tower, all 5 Titans standing ready to face the remaining lone copter.

"Rae caught me. Just."

"Just? I saved your ass metres before you would've hit the roof." Raven was kidding, it was plain to see in her expression. But the look quickly left her eyes as the helicopter's tracking beams locked on her and Beast Boy, two prime missiles at the ready.

"Uh oh…" Robin murmured softly.

"You are all under arrest. Do not move."

"Yeah right. That'll be the day you don't try to chase us down." Beast Boy quickly retorted.

The copter began to fly lower and lower, hair and clothing ruffled violently. As it reached level with Raven, the unsuspecting pilot had no idea just what a bad idea this was.

Raven was, quite frankly, pissed off.

And she was about to show a side of her powers that would remain planted in everyone's minds for a long while.

"Do not move. Come quietly to the ladder." The pilot called once more. "I repeat, come to the ladder."

Raven merely shrugged Beast Boy off her, who patiently stood to the side, waiting for her move. Then she spoke, in a most harrowing and dangerous voice.

"Fuck off."

With that, the famous white eyes returned, as Raven summoned up a huge wall of seemingly invisible form, which stood, like a transparent wall of gel in front of her. With all her might, the demon flung this at the craft. Alarm bells went off inside the pilot's cabin, as it hurled wildly out of control, headed for the water.

"Mayday, Mayday. " The pilot's attempts of control failed miserably, as Raven's equally famous black and white aura returned, adding unseen power to the huge amount she was already throwing at the copter. The most interesting thing was, behind her hair, at the back, a faint green light could be seen, flashing slightly. Everyone noticed this, as the light flickered brighter behind her mainly black hair with every push of more energy and power, fading away when the power dwindled. Raven merely watched as the helicopter, the metal rusted and torn, crash into the icy depths below. The aura faded, as the strange green light gave a final, feeble flicker. Raven moaned slightly under her breath, and collapsed backwards, caught by Beast Boy, who had run forward to catch her.

"Is she alright?" Robin enquired.

"She should be fine. Exhausted her energy blasting that copter. Give her a few hours, and she should be alright."

"Come on. We'd better get back in before reinforcements come back." Cyborg gently teased the door open, as Beast Boy carefully cradled Raven's seemingly light body.

~+~+~+~+~

Back inside the seemingly empty tower, Beast Boy laid Raven gently down on the couch, before rubbing at a cut across his cheek and turning to the others. Robin was tending to a particularly nasty wound on Star's cheek, and Cyborg was very curiously looking in Raven's direction.

"What?" Beast Boy asked.

"When Rae kinda attacked that copter, there was a light of some kind on her neck.  Why isn't it there now?" Cyborg replied.

"Ah, you mean this.." With that, Beast Boy turned around, and pulled down the collar of his shirt. There, imprinted on his neck in black and grey was practically a bar code, with a serial number beneath it.

"33009732…The code…." Robin murmured. The boy wonder had looked up to see what was going on, and had noticed the bar code, which stood out a lot against Beast Boy's green skin.

"Does Raven have that code?" Starfire asked.

"Sort of." The changeling answered. He pulled up the collar, and wandered over to Raven. Ever so gently, he pushed apart the soft hair that curled around Raven's neck, revealing a bar code imprinted on the lilac skin of the demons neck exactly the same as Beast Boys. The only difference was the code, it ended in '31' instead of '32'.

"See? There, on the back of her neck. That's the code. That's what makes us lab experiments, instead of human beings."

"So what does that code stand for?" Robin looked puzzled. "And why was there a light there?"

"The light was given out by that bar code itself. The light displays how much energy output there is. They can also be used for identification, areas for stunning, and a way to make us all suffer." He let the hair drop again, clearly unwillingly to say anymore.

"Come on. Let's go to bed. I'm beat."

Murmurs of agreement followed this, as Starfire, Cyborg and Robin all wandered off in a bed aimed direction. Beast Boy however, stooped to rest by Raven, stroking her cheek tenderly. He was startled when Raven's hand caught his, holding it where it was. Her eyes blinked open, rapidly struggling to keep open as she took in her surroundings.

"Rae, you're okay." Beast Boy whispered.

"Of course I am.  Just needed a bit of sleep, that's all. And besides, it is 2.35am…" She smiled, her eyes half slipping shut again, before she forced them open long enough to follow Beast Boy, who had left her to head off towards the door. Still smiling, she trudged her way through the doors, following the sound Beast Boy's footsteps down the long corridor.

As the moon shone brightly overhead on that clear night, 3 Titans were in all lost in deep sleep. The other two lay awake, tossing and turning, unsure of the enemy's next move, the thrills and dangers of escape running through them. It was becoming clear to both Raven and Beast Boy that sleep was out of the question that night.

So what is Business Enterprise's next move? Raven thought as she lay awake. When are they going to strike next?

She could only roll over, her unanswered questions keeping her awake.
