Story is mixture of The Crow and the Teen Titan's. As usual I own nothing to do with this story just the words.
A love beyond death
Chapter 1
The ambulance's and police cars flashing lights danced on the walls of Titan's Tower as police and ambulance crews stood over the body of a young man. High above them a single police stood in front of a shattered window and looked down at the scene below him. He felt a strange lump in his throat as he watched paramedics cover the young man's body with a large white blanket. He sighed as he pulled his head back in and looked at the wreckage lying all about the room. There was graffiti all over the walls and every piece of furniture was completely destroyed and shattered into pieces.
"How many fires so far lieutenant?" asked one of the officer's inside the rooms they looked over at the cop standing at the shattered window
"178 not as many as last year" he replied as he knelt down and sifted through the wreckage of a drawer that was lying at his feet.
"Well there's still three hours left maybe they're just a little slow this year" joked the officer as he moved a piece of shattered furniture and picked up a small knife.
"Lets hope that's the case" whispered the lieutenant to himself as he stopped when he came across a piece of white paper with a beautiful silver leafed border.
You are hereby affectionately invited to the wedding of
Of Mr Dick Grayson
And
Miss Raven
On Wednesday 31st of October 2003
At the first church of Jump city
We hope that you can make it
"Shit" sighed the lieutenant as he dropped the wedding invitation and took his hat off.
"Yo chief what do make of this?" asked another cop as he stood beside a beautiful white wedding dress.
"It looks like these two love birds where planning to get married on Halloween" replied the lieutenant sadly as he looked at the wedding dress.
"Who in the hell gets married on Halloween?" replied his fellow officer as he looked at the dress again.
"Nobody I guess" sighed the lieutenant as he watched some paramedics working on a young women lying on the ground screaming in pain. Her clothes had been torn off of her body and thrown all over the place, she had been badly beaten and looked like she had been stabbed a few times in the stomach and upper chest but she was still alive, but she was in incredible pain. The officer felt sorry for her, death would have been better than this he thought as he watched her cry out in pain.
"How is she?" he asked as he put his hat back on and looked at one of the paramedics, he desperately tried to block out Raven's screams and cries of pain.
"We'll lose her if we don't get her out of here" relied the female paramedic as she looked at the police lieutenant.
"Fine then get her out of her" relied the cop as he watched them get Raven ready to be moved.
"Ok guys 1...2...3" said the female paramedic as they lifted the stretcher with Raven on it and carried it past the police officers. The lieutenant couldn't tear his eyes off of Raven as she winced and cried in pain as the ambulance team carried her out of the room. He whistled making one of the officer's rush over to him and look at him.
"I want this place dusted for prints, I wanna know what assholes did this to her" he ordered before he followed after the paramedics and Raven.
"Yes sir" replied the officer before he called over the other cops in the room and told them what to do.
Outside of the tower confusion reigned as police officers tried to keep the crowd of people away from the scene of the crime. Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire managed to push their way to the front of the crowd and asked the people standing there what had happened.
"Man something big went down" one of the spectators said as a police officer walked past them. Cyborg reached out and grabbed the cop by the coat and dragged him towards him, Beast Boy and Starfire.
"Yo man what happened here?" asked Cyborg as he let go of the cop. The young officer instantly recognised them as being the Titan's and motioned for them to cross over the police tape. Starfire screamed as she saw Raven being carted out of the tower on a stretcher, her face was covered in blood and she was crying out in pain.
"Friend Raven what happened?" asked Starfire as she landed beside the stretcher and grabbed hold of raven's hand. Raven tried to speak but she was to weak and racked with pain to string together her words.
"What happened here?" demanded Cyborg as he grabbed the police lieutenant and held him close to his face. The cop broke the metal hero's grip and pulled him to one side.
"Listen your friend has been raped and beaten badly, we need to get her to the nearest hospital or else she will die" he said rather urgently as he pointed towards Raven. Cyborg nearly fell over as he felt his legs turn to jelly at what the cop had just said.
"What bout…….what about…what about Robin?" gulped Cyborg as he feared the worst for his best friend.
"He tried to save your friend but he was…..I'm sorry" replied the lieutenant sorrowfully as he placed one of his hands on Cyborg's huge metal shoulder. Cyborg could no longer fight against the urge to cry and broke down into tears in front of police officer.
"We where only gone for a few hours, I asked him if he wanted to come with us but he said he would rather stay at home with Raven, she wasn't feeling well you see...Oh god Rob please don't be dead" he coughed as his tears fell from his eyes. The cop fought against his own tears and brought Cyborg close to his body.
"I'm sorry" wept the officer as he patted Cyborg on the back. Cyborg continued to cry walked back over to his friends accompanied by the police lieutenant.
"Could I go with hereto the hospital?" asked Cyborg as he wiped away his tears and looked down at Raven, he instinctively reached down and grabbed hold of her hand's The paramedic cast a quick look at the police lieutenant who simply nodded back at her.
"Sure hop in" smiled the paramedic as she opened the doors and helped load Raven into the ambulance.
"Is Robin ok?" asked Raven weakly as she opened her eyes and looked at Cyborg. Cyborg didn't know what to say and cast a nervous look at the police officer.
"He's fine miss now you try and keep your strength up" replied the officer as he watched the paramedics secure Raven into the ambulance.
"Why did you lie about Robin?" Starfire asked the officer she watched the ambulance drive off into the city. Her tears fell silently as the ambulances flashing lights died away into the night. The officer didn't reply as Beast Boy wrapped his arms around Starfire and watched the ambulance disappear into the darkness.
"Will she be ok?" asked Beast Boy as he turned and looked at the officer, his green eyes begged for the answer.
"She'll be just fine" replied the officer as he looked at the green shape shifter.
"You are lying" whispered Starfire sadly as she closed her eyes and allowed her tears to fall onto the ground. She watched as the burning buildings made the night's sky glow an angry red, normally such a sight would have made her feel angry and sad inside but this time it made her feel better. At least there was more people out there feeling her pain tonight, and she hated herself for thinking like that.
The lieutenant wiped away his own tears again as he walked back towards the Tower and watched as the paramedics put Robins body into a large black body bag. He watched as they zipped it up and wrote something on the label.
"Sorry kid" he whispered as he took off his hat once again and held it over his heart. He close his eyes and said something under his breath quickly as the ambulance crew carried the body bag towards a dark blue van. He opened his eyes and watched as a large black crow landed on the top of the van and squawk loudly as Robin's body was thrown into the back of it.
"Hey watchman working late tonight?" he asked as he put on his hat and saluted the black bird. The crow squawked again as if answering the officers question before it staring tapping the top of the van with it's black beak The officer smiled gently as he walked back into the tower. The crow squawked once more before it took flight and disappeared into the night's sky. Below it burned dozens of large building fire's, Devil's Night had once again come to haunt the citizen's of Jump City.
