Teen Titans
You think I own the Teen Titans? You're crazy! I wouldn't have to put it on if I was the owner of something so cool!
In other words, please don't sue me, I own nothing.
Actually, in this chapter and following chapters, I own my characters.
Not anybody else's, though.
Chapter 6:
City Limits
The next morning
Starfire awakened in a room full of silk pillows as the early morning sun shone through the windows that were draped in elaborate midnight blue satin and lace. For the first time, she saw Raven asleep in the corner. Everyone, even Robin was still asleep on the surprisingly comfortable cushions. She rose as she saw a woman with long red hair walk by in the hallway. For a moment, she was surprised that there was another female there and followed. A few minutes later, she returned and awakened the other Titans. She led them into the kitchen, where the woman with red hair seemed to be washing dishes.
"Lady Magda, these are my friends. Friends, this is Lady Magda. She is baking coffee cake and wishes for us to partake in the eating of it." Starfire introduced the woman, who smiled dazzlingly at them. The boys promptly started to drool, but were startled out of it when a stern deep voice came from behind them.
"Starrie informed me that you had visitors." Said the white haired man that stood in the doorway. He did not spare a glace at the others, but walked into the room regally, as if he owned it.
"News travels fast. Coffee?" The woman offered. He took it, holding her hand a second longer than necessary, while staring into her eyes. Then he sat at the table elegantly.
"Seablobs in the pipes can hear all that happens." He stated. When the woman had served them coffee cake, she sat beside him and they looked very majestic.
"Who is this?" Raven asked boldly, although in her usual flat tone. Everyone looked in surprise, but since they also wanted to know, they didn't say anything.
"This is my husband." She said simply, smiling at them as they held hands on the table.
"I am Magneto." The man said, as though they should know who he was. Only Robin remembered that the painting girl had mentioned him.
"We were told to find you! Can you help us to find you-know-who?" He asked, using the term that everyone seemed to address me as.
"Find Firenight Moriya. He will be jogging on back roads at this time of morning. She hides in his closet." He stopped. Magda's forehead frowned slightly.
"Perhaps they mean the one that is obsessed with our family?" She asked.
"No, beloved. They came from the other side of the mansion." He said. She smiled, as though relieved. He turned to them, "Hurry or the sun will finish rising."
"Thank you for your kindness and the coffee cake." Starfire said as they left. All the barriers seemed to have been lifted as they ran out the door, pausing to try to kidnap Sesshoumaru, but the bathroom was too heavily fortified and they found that they had to leave.
Following signs to the edge of the city, they found a road sign marked "Back Road - joggers only" and rushed over to a man with fluffy orange hair and a black horn in the middle of his forehead. He was wearing jogging clothes and seemed to be in very good shape.
"Firenight Moriya?" Cyborg asked, being the first one to catch up to him. The man looked at him with a friendly smile, but continued jogging.
"Good morning!" He said in a friendly tone, "Are you jogging too?"
"Actually, we were wondering if you knew where you-know-who is?" Robin asked, catching up as well.
"No!" Firenight's forehead crinkled as he frowned. "I haven't seen her since that dark hole appeared in the sky a few days ago."
"What dark hole?" They asked, turning around. As he pointed, they noticed a growing black circle in the sky over the city. It seemed to be spitting out dark gray clouds and green spits of lightning.
"I don't know what it's for. Kybard and Mouse must have made it, but there hasn't been any citywide alerts about it." He said, jogging again. "Daystar would have told me about it. He's my best friend and the mayor. There's a statue of me in front of the state building."
"What state are we in?" Beast Boy asked, suddenly curious.
"We live in a state?" The man seemed aghast.
"Didn't you just say that you have s statue in front of the state building?"
"That's right!"
"If you don't have a state, why do you have a state building?"
"I don't know. Daystar's the politician. He's actually a prince." Firenight continued jogging as the Titans stopped by the side of the road.
"What do you say we check out the state building?" Robin asked, "I'm betting the dark hole is directly over it."
"Yeah!" Said Cyborg. They turned to go back, noticing for the first time that they had exited city limits. There was a sign that did not say what city they were entering, but said, "Now entering City Limits. No fan girls or rejects unless called for. Thanks to Kybard and Mouse for protecting our streets."
"What do you suppose that means?" Beast Boy asked as they walked back. All of the sudden there was a cry from the girls who were walking behind them.
"What's wrong?" Robin asked, turning to look at them. Starfire was sitting on the ground, looking like she had tripped. He walked back to give her a hand up but ran into what seemed to be an invisible barrier.
"Don't touch it again!" Raven warned, noticing that it seemed to be charging up. "This is the same barrier that was covering the skies. It's set to kill."
"Why could we make it through?" Beast Boy asked, watching a log get split in half with the force of the barrier.
"This is a barrier to keep fan girls and rejects out. Males seem to be able to go into it, but not get out if there are females outside." Raven stated. Everyone looked distressed for a minute, then Cyborg had a thought.
"That sign said that Kybard and Mouse kept the protected the city, right? Maybe they can get them through the barrier?" Cyborg asked. Robin nodded, as though thinking things through.
"Okay. Don't move a bit, girls. We'll be right back!" And the males ran off into the city. At that moment, on the Back Road, a red car came speeding up to the girls and stopped beside them.
"Need a ride?" A dark skinned man with long purple hair asked. The girls looked at him.
"No." Raven said sternly. The man smiled.
Would you review? Pretty please?
