Discailmer: I don't own the Teen Titans. This is probably alittle weak. but I gave it my best. I promise to do better in the future! I also don't know their actually ages, so from the next chapter on, they are like in their early 20's/ late teens. something like that.
Prologue..
The wind roared against their faces. It's invisible claws teared away at hair and clothing alike. Thunder clashed off in the distance as the darkened clouds decided to flood the earth. A group of weary teens, good and bad, collectively groaned as one. Each looking up into the grey swirling sky, cursing it in their own ways. They tried the shake the falling rain free of their bodies. And slowly came out of the trance-like daze the sudden weather had casted upon them.
Five super teens stared across to the small band of criminals, also known as H.I.V.E. The criminals, of course, stared back. Again they all glanced up and then back at each other. With another clash of thunder, the one called 'Boy Wonder' sighed and took his attack stance. At that moment, a bright flash streaked through the sky, lighting up the street below as a battle cry pierced through the storm's music.
"Titans, GO!"
Hearing the command, the Teen Titans immediately sprang into action. Starfire and Raven flew into the air. A mixture of neon-green and black-glowing objects cut across the rain toward the somewhat disoriented Hive. At this, the boys decided to make themselves useful. Beast Boy morphed into a rhino and began to charge, Robin ran forward with his Bo-Staff at the ready as Cyborg charged up his cannon.
From the sudden storm to the first attack, the scene seamed to move in slow-motion. A few blinks before the star-bolts and inanimate objects came crashing down on the Hive, the three teens snapped to it, diving out of the way. But it was a little to late for their likings. Green and Black collided in one large wave of debris, and like the shore, the Hive could not escape it.
The teens fell under the crash, screaming and cursing. Quickly as they could, they regained their bearings long enough to see Robin, a Green rhino, and a blue blast barreling down on them. But this time they were ready. A pink pig-tailed girl screamed out to her teammates. "Get Them!" As Mammoth picked up a flipped over car, just thrown by Raven.
Again time seamed to slow. As Robin and Beast Boy zoned in on their prey, Gizmo activated his shoulder rockets into the Titans as Jinx blasted pink-energy into the air at it's female members. One of the rockets slammed into Cyborg's side as his Cannon blast smashed Gizmo against a nearby wall. The pink ball of energy met with Starfire, sending her soaring down to earth, just as Robin and Beast Boy got close enough for their attacks. But it was too late for them. The car in Mammoth's large hands had already been set into motion. With a sharp cackle from Jinx, the car came slamming into the two boys. Sending them back wards through the air.
From her position above, Raven watched a her teammates were taken down in a blink of an eye. Dropping herself to the ground, she ran to her fallen comrades as more laughing creeped along the wind. Raven went to each member, checking them over. They all appeared to be unconscious. Scared and angry, Raven began to panic. She was the only one left standing. Looking to the hive, she thought to herself. ' I'll never win this on my own... what should i do?.. think...' . Again she tried to wake her friends but the result remained the same.
From across the road a voice rang out, mocking the cloaked Titan.
"Poor Raven!" Jinx grinned evilly through the curtain of rain as Mammoth helped Gizmo to his feet. " Good try. Trying to take us down, but once again you failed. Too bad your team isn't awake. Cuz I would love to have them watch as I finally kill you!" the pink-haired girl spat out, her hands on her hips.
Raven wrapped her rain soaked cloak around her body. Her eyes fixed upon Jinx with a glare as the girl continued.
"Maybe we should kill your friends first, seeing as they're halfway dead already." With that, Jinx sent a blast of her magic at the knocked-out Robin.
Before Raven could respond to the attack, it rammed into Robin's still body, sliding him across the wet ground into a dumpster. Raven's eyes widened and turned their glare back onto Jinx as the girl started a second attack. Lowering her head under her hood, fist clenching, her teeth gritted as she snarled out " Think....Again!"
Jinx froze as Raven whipped her head up. Through the darkness of her hood, red eyes flashed brightly as her hands came froward. The wind picked up around her, creating a black whirlwind. Just as quickly, Raven began to grow in size. Her cloak becoming a living entity as it flapped out around her. The evilest of grins spread across her lips as her hands blazed black. Behind the enraged Raven, the rest of the Titans began to come out of their dazed states. The Hive looked at the changing Raven and began to back away slowly. Noticing this, she shook her index finger at them. "Tsk. Tsk. It won't be that easy."
The Titans regained their footing and stared at Raven in shock. Stumbling over to her, Robin called out. "Raven? Raven what are you doing?"
Raven heard the voice behind her but Rage had consumed her. From the inside, the real Raven argued with it. But rage only growled in response. Slowly her head turned toward Robin. " I'm doing what needs to be done!"
Robin ventured closer. His body trembling in pain. "Raven, this isn't right. This isn't you." He looked to the rest of his team, then to the Hive before looking back at Raven. "We are ok. You can stop this now." Robin pleaded as sirens could be heard in the distance. The other titans came closer also. She glanced at over her shoulder at them. Their eyes begged with her. At once they all began to talk.
"Rae, it's ok now!"
"Friend Raven?"
"Raven!"
"Raven...please?" came form robin . She looked away from them. her gaze once again on the hive, who where slowly trying to slink away. Raven's grin grew wider and she shook her head.
Before anything could be done, the ever growing cloak whipped wildly. It's consuming darkness lashing out as she yelled into the wind. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"
Dumpsters, cars, and anything not bolted down, went flying through the air to smash into the three horrified teens.
The teen titans stared with shock at the scene before them. Low laughter emitted from the cloak as Raven looked at the damaged she caused, and spoke out. "I don't think they will be playing anytime soon."
Eventually Raven calmed down.She looked over the scene she had made and was disgusted with herself. She looked at her friends, battered and beat. They stared back at her. She could see their emotions play out on their faces. They were scared for her, at her. They kept their distance from her and she wept inside. She looked to the sky. Still dark and churning, like her mind. This had been a mistake. Joining the Teen Titans. She couldn't control her powers and she couldn't bare the thought that she might bring them to ruin. So she did the only thing she could think of.... she ran away.
