I dont own Teen Titans
Chapter 2: Raven, im you
The sky grew dark as the sun slid behind the horizon, its last rays of light a wave good-bye to the city. Slowly the streetlights flickered on, illiuminating the street. Only the sounds of far off honking horns and sirens echoed from building to building. A stay cat walked slowly across the cold pavement and stoped at the sidewalk's and began cleaning itself. Suddnely it stoped and perked its head up when the manhole in the middle of the street moved slightly. Curious, it walked slowly up to it, stoping a foot away. The manhole remained motionless. Then it shot up into the air, landing with a loud thud nearby. The cat jumped back in surprise and hissed at the now open manhole. It suddenly froze as something rose out of it. There, staring back at the cat, was a silver colored snake, its whole form reflecting the light from the streetlamps. The cat quickly scrambled to get away, but it was too late. The snake shot forward, snatching it in it's fangs. They both dissapeared into a dark alley way, and the cats shrieks of terror rang through the city streets. Then they stoped, and silence returned. After a few moments, a silver being stumbled out of the darkness. If it wasnt for its all chrome color, you'd swear you were looking at Beast Boy. It looked at its hands, seeming amazed. "This....this power." it said, a metalic ring to its voice, "I.......i must....have more!" it yelled, and looked down the street, out past the bay, and at a T shaped tower. "..and i know just where to find it." it said and transformed into a bird, flying off into the night.
Raven sat hovering a few feet in the air, facing the large living room window. She felt good that she was able to clear her mind this time, seeing how the last few times she tried to meditate her thoughts were clouded. She just couldnt get him off her thoughts. Where he was, how he was doing. She just felt concern for her brother. Suddenly, the sound of the door opening and footsteps broke her concentration. She tightened her eyes in frustration and opened her eyes. "Can you guys please come in a little quieter?" she asked, sounding annoyed. She got no response and turned her head. She gasped. She found Cyborg setting Beast Boy down on the couch, Robin and Starfire close behind. What startled her was that Beast Boy was white as a ghost, and he seemed unconcious. She set her feet on the ground and ran up to them. "What happend to him?" she asked.
Cyborg looked at her. "Some freaky blob thing downtown latched onto him," he said, "and now hes like this." Star and Robin noded in agreement. Raven just looked at Beast Boy. Robin knelt down and checked BB's pulse. "Seems normal....." he said, scraching his chin. Cyborg fliped up a pannel on his arm and hit a few buttons. After a few seconds it beeped. "Wierd," he said, "acording to this all he's suffering from is minor dehydration." He tapped it a few times to make sure it was working correctly. Raven looked at Cy. "Let me try..." she said, kneeling down to BB. Her hands glowed blue and she placed them on his chest. After a few seconds she pulled them away. "I cant seem to find anything to heal." she said standing back up. They all just stared at thier friend as he breathed at a slow pace, like he was sleeping.
"What did this again?" Raven asked. Robin shifted his gaze towards her. "This silvery blob," he said, "that seemed to know BB's name." Raven pondered for a moment. Starfire placed her hands on her chest. "Oh, friend Beast Boy," she said, "if only we knew what ails you." Cy picked the green teen back up. "Lets get him to the infirmary," he said, "maybe we'll get some answers there." They noded and followed Cy as he walked off. Raven hesitated. "You guys go ahead, i need to meditate more." she said. The Titans looked at her, then noded in aproval. "Sure thing, Rae." Robin said, "we'll call you if we find out anything." They turned and left, leaving Raven alone again.
Raven crossed her legs and floated again, facing the dark window. She began to clear her mind, and was soon deep in meditation. It was a good half-hour when she heard the door open, but no foot steps were heard. Raven didnt look, up, trying to keep her concentration. "Find anything out, guys?" she asked, her eyes still closed. She didnt get a response. "Guys?" she asked again, and again heard nothing. She opened her eyes and looked at the window, and gasped. In the window's reflection she saw a tall, chrome colored figure. She whirled around and set her feet down. She was confused on what she saw. It was Beast Boy, but no color, not his green skin to his purple vest, was on him. It was all chrome. "B.....Beast Boy?" she asked, confusion present in her words. The silver BB tilted its head at her. "Raven?" it asked. Raven was even more confused. She just heard Beast Boy's voice, but it echoed slightly, sounding machine-like.
The silver BB suddenly smiled, sending chills down Raven's spine. It raised its hand and made it into a fist. Raven could figure what was coming and took to the air, feeling a slight wind rush past her cape. She looked down to see she had just missed the being's fist, only thing was its feet hadn't moved. Its arm had streched towards her. Shocked, she flew up farther as the silver Beast Boy looked up at her. It retraced its arm slowly. Raven could see that this thing wasnt going to stop, and held her hands up. "Azerath metrion zinthos!" she yelled and sent a ball of black energy at the thing's head. It hit dead on, blowing its head to nothing. It stumbled backwards, then fell flat on its back, motionless. Raven flew down to the floor and cautiously approched the headless being. She kicked it a few times, geting no reaction. She sighed. "What are you?" she asked, leaning downwards.
Suddnely the suposedly dead creature shot its arms and wraped them around Raven's torso, pinning her arms aganst her sides. She struggled as the being slowly rose to its feet, thier bodies mere inches from each other. Raven looked at it angrily, then gasped as a silver goo emerged from the space between its shoulders. The goo slowly twisted and molded, until it had regained the shape of Beast Boy's head. Raven stared wide eyed as she could see her reflection stareing back at her from the beings chrome exterior. It smiled as she continued to struggle. "What am i?" it asked in its metallc tone, "Why, im you!" Raven stoped and looked at it, confused. Suddenly it opened its mouth, which expaned to a imhuman size. Soon, an entire blanket of chrome streched over Raven's head. She looked on in terror as her whole body was covered with the silver goo. She struggled intensely, desperate to get out. She clawed at it with her hands, but to no avail. It held onto her with no signs of letting go.
Raven didnt realize it, but she was slowly getting more and more tired. What ever this thing was, it was sucking the very life out of her. Her attempts at escape became less intense, and she eventually stoped. The silver being let go and droped her to the ground. She could barely keep her eyes open as she looked up at the being. It was featureless, a smooth and blank humanoid. Suddnely, it grew shoulder length hair and a long cape. A shaped abdomen and breasts were molded out of it, and a pair of smooth legs formed. Soon enough, Raven was looking at a chrome version of herself, standing above her. The now silver Raven looked at her. "See? I told you." it said in a dull metalic tone. Raven shook her head in disbelief and slowly drifted to sleep, her energy completly gone.
The chrome Raven smiled. Suddenly, a cheerful voice was heard just outside the door. "Friend Raven?" it said. The being's colorless eyes narrowed as it looked at the door. It said nothing. It didnt want to be found out just yet, and it looked around. It spoted a vent shaft nesseled in the room's corner, and flew over to it quickly. It became liquid-like and sliped in, right as Starfire walked in, gasping.
Well, another chapter down. I hope i didnt offend any animal lovers by killing that cat. Please R&R!
