A/N: Hey people, how are things going with you. I am so sorry that I
haven't updated more frequently, although it might have something to do
with the fact that no one is REVIEWING. I'm debating whether or not I
should post some Sailor Moon and Princess Diaries fics I've been working on
before I finish some of the fics that I've already started, I probably will
so keep an eye out for them.
Disclaimer: I own the plot, that's it, nothing else, zip, nada, nothing. Okaaaaay, now that that's over with, on with "A New Beginning"
Chapter 4- Remembering Emotions
********%**********
Raven and Starfire stood in the middle of a wide, empty space, literally. The two girls stood on a rock that was floating in the middle of no where.
"So, now what?"
Just as Starfire finished her remark a bunch of other stones came together to form a sort of bridge.
"We walk."
The two began walking along the slender platform and shortly came to a tree which held many adorable birds (in Star's opinion) that kept repeating the phrase, "Go Back."
"Oh Raven, are they not adorable? Did you create them?"
"Starfire, stop!"
"Why?"
"They are a trap that I set to keep those that I do not wish to enter out of my head. If you take another step away from me, they will attack you. Trust me."
"Oh, alright then. Let us move on, shall we?"
"Yes."
"You know, you didn't need to ask."
"Ask what?"
"For me to trust you, there has never been a moment in all the time that I have known you that I have not trusted you."
"Star that's just you, you've always trusted all of us. Sometimes you're to trusting."
"But that is were you are wrong, you are the only one who's trust I have never doubted."
"That can't be true. What about Beastboy?"
"I had my doubts when it was revealed that Terra had been working for Slade for a time."
Starfire raised her eyebrow incredulously as a nearby rock blew up at the mention of the earth Titan. Raven averted her eyes.
"Sorry, so what about Cyborg?"
"Remember when we fought Cinderblock and Plasmus and Cyborg left the group for a time, my faith and trust in him were slightly diminished during that event."
"Hmm, and I guess that I really don't have to ask about Rob...Nightwing?"
"There should be no need."
"But what about the time that I went berserk and nearly killed... the guy with the electricity?"
"That was not your fault in the least. It was due to your father..."
"Actually, one of my emotions was the cause."
"Still, it was due to something that, though you tried, you could not always keep under control. In all of the cases I have just mentioned, the boys had a choice and I lost some of my faith in them due to the CHOICES that they each made."
"What are you saying, that you would trust what I say over what Nightwing said if there was a conflict of opinions?"
"If I thought what you were saying was right or if I was truly unaware of the circumstances, then yes I would. As much as I love Nightwing he has acted on his emotions and on impulse far to many times, and as good a trait as that is in battle, it makes it a little more difficult for me to completely trust him when the emotions go running wild."
"Yeah, I know. I have the same problem. No matter how much I love the little green fuzz-ball, his jokes make it just a little difficult to take him seriously."
Starfire looked sharply over at her friend.
"What did you just say?"
"Oh, shit. Happy must be around here somewhere, that is absolutely the only way I would let that slip around anyone."
'Actually, were all here.' Happy's voice rang out in a somewhat dulled but still happy in tone.
'Staying together was the only way we could survive after you left.' Wisdom (A/N: That's what I'm going to call the one who wore the glasses) added.
Raven and Starfire glanced at each other, both feeling kind of sorry for the emotions. Raven was first to come to her senses.
"Do any of you remember the night that Slade captured the boys and me and erased our memories?"
'Oh, who could forget.' Fighter replied.
"Well do any of you have any memories of how that machine worked."
'Um, well ::sniff:: the thing is ::sniff:sniff:: you were blaming yourself ::sniff:: for the others being caught and I would have ::sniff:: been the one to see but then...' Sadness began to apologized.
"Then what?"
'Slade pointed his machine at Beastboy and I took over.'
Raven slowly turned around and almost growled at the figure behind her. There stood a girl in a cape very similar to Ravens except the fact that it was a deep red color, the girl looked up and rather than two violet eyes like all the other Ravens, she had four slanted red eyes.
"Hate."
'Temper, temper; remember that only adds to my strength. I actually came to present you with a challenge.'
Raven looked at her emotion carefully. "Continue."
'I know that you need my memories in order to save your little friends so, I propose a duel. You against me. If you win I fuse with you, giving you my memories, and never bother you again. However, if I win I get to take your body and you are stuck living in a mirror. Deal?'
Raven looked over at the others and shrugged.
"I don't really have a choice if I want to remember and I want my friends to remember so, deal."
********%******** Cyborg and Beastboy
The two boys spent hours looking around the old abandoned warehouse searching for any clues as to exactly who had been using over the past years. Basically, they were looking for proof of Slade. Cyborg sighed and stood up, bringing his arm up to his mouth so that he could contact Nightwing.
"Hey, Cyborg. Have you heard from Raven and Star?"
"No, why?"
"They haven't checked in lately; I'm beginning to get a little worried."
"Listen there is nothing here for us to find. Either it's not Slade or he's actually hiding for once. Why don't Beastboy and I go and see if the girls are still at the Tower?"
"Good idea, keep looking around the where house for now, I'll meet up with you there in a few."
"Got ya." Cyborg signed off with his leader and went to get Beastboy and tell him of the plan.
"Hey, BB; Nightwing says that the girls haven't checked in for a while now so he's gonna meet up with us here in a few and then we're all gonna go see if they're still at the Tower."
"Sounds good to me."
"It's very rude of you boys to even think of leaving before any of us have had time to play. Although, I do want to thank you for getting Nightwing here, I was wondering how we were going to manage that." A mysterious voice commented from the shadows.
The two men looked around, trying to find the source of the voice. Finally Beastboy decided to look up.
"Uh, oh. I guess we should have tried the roof earlier."
Cyborg looked up as well to see about fifty of Slade's ninja robots sitting up in the rafters, along with there "leader." The one who had spoken to the two boys.
"Blackfire."

A/N: Well, that finishes the fourth chapter, only one left to go, but I'm not even going to start on till I get some more reviews. So just click the little button, the sooner you do it the sooner you find out how it ends.
Also, with the thing about Terra, in the comics she actually is working with Slade and there are a few scenes in the show that lead me to believe that she is working with him in that setting as well. Since this does take place twenty years in the future, I'm thinking they would already know about it.
Now, I'll say it one more time REVIEW!!!!!!!
