Sorry I took so long, I was busy. My new goal is to get at least one new chapter up per week. And for those of you who think this might be a CyXRae fic, you'll just have to wait and see...
It was early the next morning and Robin was just waking up. He was expecting to see the oasis sky, but instead he saw solid gray. He sat up. Him and the other titans were inside of what looked like a big gray jail cell.
Beast Boy was looking out the barred window at the front. "Guys, I think we're here." He said. The other titans walked up to the window. They saw the big statue of Raven.
They all cheered. "Now all we need to do is break out of this, get Raven, and go home!! That was easy!!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "Too easy. Robin said slowly. "Titans, we need to be careful. This could be a... trap?"
Cyborg had already blown the front off the cell and ran out. Beast Boy and Starfire followed. "So much for that idea." Robin muttered as he walked out.
Meanwhile, Raven was waking up too. She looked at the sun and wondered who she should swat with a tree today. As she thought she heard someone coming she tried to get a tree, but her powers didn't work. She tried again and again, but nothing happened.
"What's going on?!" she cried. "Well," a person said, walking onto the plate. "From the very beginning we knew you couldn't trust you. But the tree thing was just too much. Now if you would notice the things around your wrists, they make it so your powers are completely useless. From now on, you'll need our permission to use them."
Raven looked at her wrists. They each had a glowing black band around them. She was outraged. First her friends, then her powers. The person walked away. "Merry Christmas to you too." She muttered angrly.
Meanwhile, the titans were getting to the big Raven stature, which was a lot farther away than it looked. Eventually when they finally got there, they decided to work out a plan.
"Okay, first we'll take out the guards, then we'll get her. Got it?" Robin instructed. "Ehh, Robin? How about you three go after the guards and I'll get her to save the time?" Beast Boy asked. "Good idea. Titans SPLIT!!" Robin answered. They all went their ways.
Raven was sitting on the edge of the plate thinking about how she'd probably never see her friends again. She sighed sadly. Then she heard a voice in the bushes say, "Raaaaaven.."
She walked over to the bush and saw Beast Boy crouched inside of it. "Raven!! Are you alright? Every one has flipped out over you!!" he exclaimed.
"I wasn't sure if you guys came after me or not!" she said happily. "Come on, let's get out of here!!" Beast Boy cried. He started to run off the plate when he noticed Raven wasn't following him. "Raven, what's wrong? Why aren't you coming? He asked. "I can't." she answered.
"Why? Is this your family or something?" Beast Boy asked. Raven looked at the ground. She had her arms and legs pulled inside her cloak all this time so Beast Boy couldn't see the bands. Then she moved her cloak out of the way so he could see them. Beast Boy gasped.
"They make it so I can't use my powers or leave this plate." She said. "I'm sorry, but I have to stay here." "I'll get them off. Hold on." Beast Boy said. He turned into an alligator and bit off the bands around her wrists right away. He was about to get rid of the bands around her ankles but then someone came onto the plate.
"And what do you think you're doing, goddess?" the person asked. "Getting away." Raven answered. She picked up a huge rock and threw it at the person. He dodged and blasted Beast Boy with a blue beam.
"Raven help!! I can't move!!" Beast Boy cried. Raven was about to throw another rock at the person. But just before she was about to drop the rock on him, he used his telekinetic powers to pick up Beast Boy and hold him above the fire.
"You see goddess, I to have these powers. Now we have a deal. If you drop that boulder on me, I will drop your friend in the fire!!" The person said.
As much as Raven wanted to be free again, she couldn't let this person drop Beast Boy in the fire. She set the rock down and closed her eyes. "You win. Now let him go." She said.
"Good girl." The person said. He set Beast Boy on the ground. Then two more people come on to the plate and snapped the black bands back on her wrists.
"No!!" Beast Boy moaned. The person turned around and glared at Beast Boy. "Now scram, that is, unless you want to be firewood." He said. Raven opened her eyes and sadly watched Beast Boy run off the plate.
Then all the people walked off the plate. On the way off the guy glared at Raven. "If we get one more escape plan you'll be very sorry." He growled.
Raven was miserable for coming so close to being free. If that guy was one minute later she would be gone by now. If they wouldn't have taken her powers she would have hit him with a tree for that. But then she realized; without her powers these people could make her fate go wherever they wanted it to go. And as easy as anything that fate could be...death.
This chapter was shorter by a lot. I hope you guys like it. Keep reading.
