Chapter 13: Emotions Part 1
The three Titans flew, or in Robin's case ran, toward the ball of darkness, hoping that their friend was still alive.
"So, what do we do when we get there?" Robin asked.
"I really don't know," Beast Boy replied, "I mean, it's pure dark energy, but like before, maybe we can call into the field, like with you two. But if Freddy is in there..." he trailed off.
"Worry not friends," Starfire said, "We will find a way."
Robin and B.B. smiled at her optimism, and turned back to their destination. Almost there, just a few more meters to go. The dark ball looked much bigger than they had originally thought, and could see. It seemed to be growing.
"What is going on?" Beast Boy asked, "It's growing. But, if it's growing then..."he trailed off again, but this time finished his sentence, "He must be getting close to fully draining her. We have to do something, and fast."
"But what can we do?" Robin asked.
"Yes, tell us," Star said.
"I...don't know. She must be asleep in her sleep, or something like that. I'm not, you know, intelligent," Beast Boy joked, trying to lighten the mood a little, but failing, and knowing it was the wrong time.
Suddenly, an idea struck him. He remembered the last time he had been here, when Cyborg and he had snuck into her room. There had been many other Raven's, each an emotion. If he was right, Freddy only needed the Earthly, dark, emotionless Raven. He would have no need for the others.
"I've got a plan," Beast boy said with a slight smile.
(Next part tomorrow. Been tired, but glad I've got a long weekend for Labor Day. Hope everyone likes this one. Sorry for it being so short.)
