Chapter 11: All You Wanted
A silent dawn hung over Jump City. The dull stars glistened a final time as day light poured in, the city lights held a warm hue in the gray sky. The sun peered over a light gray cloud, as morning yawned.
'BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!'
Red lights flooded Titans Tower. The ringing of the alarm jarred everybody awake.
Robin raced downstairs quickly, as the peaceful dawn was shattered.
Robin's finger's flew over the keys, typing the password of the computer.
"What's the problem??"
Cy took his place next to Robin, leaning in to see the damage.
Robin's brows furrowed, "Not sure. There seems to be hits all over Jump City."
Starfire flew in with Raven and Beast Boy. "What interrupts our peaceful slumber??"
Cy spoke up, for Robin was typing furiously once again, "Someone or something is taking hits all over Jump City," He turned to the screen once again, "From Downtown Lincoln to Bayland."
Robin stood from his chair, leader mode settling in, "Okay Titans, we need to split up. Cyborg, take Lincoln, Star, we're going to search through Portwatch. Raven and Beast Boy, take Helme. If anyone finds anything or has found our culprit, call on your communicators. Everybody got it?"
Everyone nodded, even the two ex-lovers.
"Titans Go!!"
---------------------------
Starfire and Robin walked stiffly, yet close together. Tension was settling in. It was too quiet for an emergency.
"Robin?"
Robin did not answer. His eyes darted from left to right, looking in dark alleys, his mouth set in a firm line.
"Robin?? Please answer me."
Robin's eyes widened a bit as he turned to Star. "Oh, sorry. Just tense is all.." He scratch the back of his head bashfully.
"Yes.. I was just-well I was hoping that you didn't think that...the emergency was caused by.." She cast her eyes down sadly.
"Well..it's possible." Robin braced for an attack.
Starfire's eyes shot up quickly, "W-what? No Robin, please don't- "
Robin stopped walking and put her hands in his, "Star, I'm okay. We'll find out what the cause of this is. Don't worry." He gave her a smile.
She returned one and they continued down the foggy, deserted road.
------------------------------
'Clank, Clank, Clank'
Cy's footstep's echoed in Lincoln. He had a tough guy atmosphere, but deep down, he hated splitting up. Especially when he was to be alone.
Cyborg walked slowly, not wanting to miss any suspicions.
He had his first suspicion right when he entered Lincoln, "It's way too quiet.."
From a distance he heard a soft noise, starting low at first, then high, then low once more. Cy followed it. As he went east toward the sound, it got louder and clearer. Crying. Someone was crying!
Cyborg increased his speed, his metal feet clanking loudly. As he sprinted toward the crying, he wound up in the beginning of an alley where light still showed.
"I'm coming, I'm coming.." Cy whispered, to calm whatever was sobbing.
When he became closer, he found out it was the sobbing of a girl. "But where?"
He looked to his right, where the girl seemed to be sobbing from.
Cy quietly walked to her. The little girl's back was arched, her black hair tumbling down her back, her face hidden, facing the wall.
Cyborg reached out to her, "Hey, kid.." Cy grabbed one of her shoulders and turned her slowly around.
Cyborg gasped. It was a dummy with a tape recorder imbedded in it's face. That's where the crying came from.
"What the-? "
Without warning, a hard force slammed against Cyborg's head, sending him into the middle of the street.
A black figure stepped out of the alley.
Cyborg moaned as he put a hand to his aching head. His eyes widened as he turned to the black figure, still on the ground. Without taking his eyes off it, Cy grabbed his communicator and called Robin and Star.
"Uh guys? I think I found the culprit.."
------------------------
"What??!! Where? Where are you??"
"Robin what is happening?!"
Starfire and Robin huddled around Robin's communicator. Cy's worried face was on screen, "Uh..the intersection of 4th st. and-and Lincoln."
"We'll be right- "
The line went dead.
Robin started to panic a bit, shaking his device, "Cy? Cyborg? Cyborg c'mon!"
"Robin!"
Robin turned angrily at her, "Wha- AH!"
A black suited man punched Robin across the face, sending him back a few feet. Starfire looked back at the injured Boy Wonder, then to the man, eyes glowing green.
"Yah!!"
Starfire blasted green star-bolts at the culprit, blinded by fury.
The man darted out of the way at each, edging closer to the unknown Starfire. Just as he was about to leap out at her, Robin dived in front, catching a blast from a star-bolt and a punch from the masked man.
Despite his burning wounds he punch at him, his fist puncturing the man's skin severely.
The masked man stuck out his leg and swung it underneath Robin's footwork, catching him off guard. Robin hit the pavement hard as Starfire flew in save him. Unknown to the Teens, the man had a few more tricks up his sleeve.
He fired a tranquilizer at Starfire, sending her to the ground. A deep, gruff chuckle escaped his throat. He edged closer to Star once again.
Robin growled, "Get away from her!"
The man turned back to Robin and seemed to smirk out of his mask. He continued his walk toward Star. He grabbed her by the neck, hanging her in the air.
Robin tried to get up in time, but the man swiped him again and again and again, whilst holding Starfire, her eyes closed. Robin fell to the ground with a moan, his shirt ripped.
Robin looked up to the masked man as he started to tighten his grip on Star's neck.
"No! Don't!"
Starfire's eyes flew open as she struggled for breath, coldness filling her lungs.
Robin got up by adrenaline and hurried toward the two, " Stop!! You'll kill her!!!"
The man reached out when Robin was close enough and grabbed his wrist, bending it backwards. Robin cried out in pain. The man dropped Starfire to the ground with a thump.
Robin could hear Starfire's gasping breath's, trying to regain oxygen. The man's mask came face to face with Robin's.
A gruff voice sounded from inside it.
"Isn't that the idea?"
Robin gasped, eyes wide in shock, then narrowed in fury,
"Slade!"
----------------------------
Silence loomed upon Raven and Beast Boy. Beast Boy felt pressured and restless from it. Why oh why did Robin have to pair them up?
'Then again..'
Beast Boy stole a glance at the gothic princess. 'It's not so bad.. Maybe I can..make things up to her, now that we're alone..'
Raven kept looking down every foggy, dark alley. The scene reminded her of when they fought their last battle with Terra. Terra. Raven wrinkled her nose at the name. How she loathed her now. She never did like her. Never.
'And now..'
Raven eyed BB. 'I don't feel comfortable around him. I-I can never trust him again.' Raven looked back at the road but felt someone's eyes on her. She turned to see BB staring at her.
"What?" Raven spat.
BB sighed, "Okay, Raven. I-I know your mad. And I'm really, really sorry. I just-I just want another chance, Raven. Please?"
Raven stopped walking and stared at him. Just completely stared at him bewilderedly.
"You want me to give you another chance. You want me to give you another chance?!"
BB nodded, quietly.
"There's no more chances to give. You never had one! I let you in but..but you just.." Her words trailed off.
"Raven please just let me do something. Just," BB sighed, "Let me show you I still care."
Raven looked coldly into BB eyes, "There's no need for that."
"Yes there is!"
Raven turned her face forward and walked on, leaving BB behind.
BB growled and grabbed her wrist and pulled her into him. He didn't even let her have a chance to yell or protest, he locked lips with her.
He gave her everything he had in that kiss. BB wrapped his arms around her and caressed her figure like he had a year earlier. But it was different this time. She didn't kiss back.
Beast Boy pulled away, to look into teary eyes. Raven pulled herself out of his grip and hugged herself tightly, "No."
"Raven, c'mon.."
"No, you're a whole different person now."
"No I'm not. I'm still me Raven."
Raven shook her head eyes still locked with his. "I-I can't resist you, as much as I want to deny it. But ever since that night, I can't trust you, knowing that if Terra is ever there, you'll leave me. I can't have that Beast Boy. I can't."
Beast Boy bowed his head, knowing that she was right. What was wrong with him?
Beast boy lifted his head and looked to Raven. His voice began to crack.
"I-I mean..this.. This can't be it.."
Raven turned around and continued walking.
"Then how come it is?"
-
'Raven! Beast Boy! Come in!'
A vibrating movement shivered in Raven's cloak. Beast Boy eyed her out of worry.
Raven flipped the communicator open, "What's going on?"
Robin's distressed face filled up the screen but was fuzzy and his voice broken up by the bad reception..or something worse.
'We have a situation down here. (Punch, kick) Starfire's out from a tranquilizer and Cy's connection is dead. (Gasp)(crackle) I (crackle) need help and fast.'
Raven and Beast Boy crowded by the communicator.
"Who took all the hits in Jump City?"
'(Fade out) (Fade in) Slade. (Gets punched) Ah!'
"Don't worry, man. We'll be down there in a sec! Where are you??"
'I'm at (pause)(crackle) God, I can't see the f!# street sign! (Punch) Look's like Harvey Way. (Crackle, crackle) And Bibsy Av-- Argh! (out of breath)(screen crackles) (power goes out)'
"Robin!"
"Robin!"
Raven jammed the communicator back into her cloak pocket and grabbed BB's arm tightly. "We don't have much time. Harvey Way and Bibsy Avenue Intersection is 3 miles from here."
Raven took off running with BB lagging behind, still holding onto his arm.
"Raven! We can just fly you know!"
Raven turned a right and Beast Boy yelped from surprise.
"I know. But we don't want to attract attention to ourselves. We already have one Titan unconscious, one missing and one fighting a mad man alone."
Raven turned a sharp left into an alley. Beast Boy had been pulled too widely and hit the edge of the building wall.
"OW!"
Even in the tight and tense situation, Raven let a smirk cross her lips.
-
6 minutes later, Raven skidded to a stop as BB tried to gain composure from the rough ride.
Raven looked from side to side, as she let go of Beast Boy's arm.
"Now where are they..."
"AH!"
Both of the Titans heads shot up at a tall building's roof top. They could see two black figures bobbing up and down, grunts and gasps of air echoing through the Intersection.
"Come on!"
Raven flew up into the air to help her comrade when a big boulder smashed into her side, Raven screamed in agony.
Raven was sent flying toward the ground, air whipping at her hair and cloak. Just when BB started to panic, she stopped in mid air and turned up right.
Her hands cackled with black, dark energy, searching for the source of the boulder.
"Looking for me?"
Raven snapped her head to the left at the sound of the feminine voice.
A girl of 16 with blonde hair whipping in the wind stood on a boulder, suspended in air.
"What'sa matter Raven? Surprised to see me?" Girlish laughter followed after, with a sense of hollowness.
Raven and BB's eyes widened in realization.
Raven recovered and her eyes narrowed oh so dangerously.
"Terra.." Raven grinded her teeth, furiously.
Beast Boy felt his heart crack, "No..please.."
Raven's eyes glowed white as a bus glowed the trademark black. "Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!"
The bus came flying at Terra, but she merely raised a hand, a boulder coming toward the bus. A powerful blast of wind sent Raven back a few inches.
Terra stood with her hand still out, smoke trailing behind her.
"That your best shot?"
Raven's hands and eyes glowed black, "Not even close!"
On the roof...
"So, Robin. You really thought I was dead.. How foolish of you, as always."
Robin rubbed his green glove across his bloody lip, growing more furious by the minute.
"I always knew that you were alive. Not even a cheap volcano trick could fool me into believing you were really gone."
Robin swung at Slade, puncturing his armored plating. Robin's leg swung out but Slade stuck his out to, pushing Robin's aside, and kicking Robin's stomach.
Robin gasped from the pain, but flipped back, to have space between former master and apprentice.
Robin looked back worriedly at Starfire, who was sprawled out on the roof plating.
"You know, you really shouldn't take your eyes off a battle..."
"Huh?" Robin whirled around as Slade grabbed both his wrists, drew him close and imbedded his knee into Robin's stomach. Still holding him in his deathly grasp, Slade flung Robin to the side with a grunt.
Robin flew to the edge of the roof. His instincts took over and his hands grabbed on to the roof's edge. Robin tried to get his feet to grip onto the brick building's wall, but his boots couldn't get enough friction.
Slade stepped to Robin's position, smile showing through his mask, the orange glowing brightly in the cloudy sky.
"You always knew it would end like this. It always happens."
Slade walked closer to Robin.
"The apprentice thinks he can out smart, out wit the master, who taught him everything he practically knows."
Slade stopped at Robin's hands, "But alas, he always fails to beat his master. And it always ends in a way, just. Like. This."
Slade lifted his foot high and crashed it down on Robin's left hand. The cracking sound was sickening to the ear and painful to the eye. Robin screamed in tortured agony as his hand became limp and fell to his side. Only one hand remained.
"It had been...fun, Robin. I will never forget the time we had shared. So many qualities to be remembered.."
Robin's eyes widened as he struggled to get any friction on the wall.
"But one I shall never forget: the look in your eyes as you realize who is to be the cause of your death."
Slade waved his hand in 'good-bye' and lifted his foot once again. As he began to bring it down, Robin caught friction. He smiled smugly, "Not today."
"Hee-YAH!"
Robin ran up the wall, flipped over the edge of it and kicked Slade right in the mask.
"Ah!" Slade faltered backwards surprised by the events.
Robin's left hand was still limp but managed to get Starfire over his shoulder.
He ran over to the roof's edge.
"See ya Slade."
Robin jumped and landed on the fire escape. He continued to run down the cold metal steps, hurrying to get to the bottom.
Back on the street...
"Yo, B!"
BB turned from Raven and Terra's fight to see a one armed Cyborg running up to him. Sweat was trickling down his face, wrinkles of exhaustion spread over it. "Where the hell were you? You okay?"
Cy nodded, trying to catch his breath. "You're not going to believe this, but Terra attacked me over at Lincoln."
Beast Boy turned to the heroine and evil apprentice (appren-teece) fight.
"I know.."
--
"Why are you doing this??!!" Raven screamed as she pinned Terra to the pavement.
Terra rolled her eyes angrily, "Oh like you don't know!"
Raven sighed, "No! I don't!"
Terra blasted yellow energy into Raven's eyes, making her release her. "You and those Teen Titans want to do the same to me!"
Raven rubbed her sore eyes, "What the hell are you talking about?!"
Terra continued to throw large rocks at Raven, enjoying her pain. "You tried to kill me, but he saved me. He's the only one who cares!"
Terra punched Raven across the face, metal platting beneath her gloves punctured Raven's jaw.
Terra didn't stop there. She swung out a leg, tripping Raven and pinned her to the ground, Raven's back facing Terra.
Terra leaned in close to Raven's ear, her hot breath on Raven's neck.
"It's time to pay for your deceit. Your robot buddy already got a taste of it.."
Raven pulled one of her arms free and slapped Terra across the face.
"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!" A tree broke lose from the ground, and came hurling toward Terra.
Terra, still recovering from the hard slap, didn't notice it. It hit hard onto her fragile skin, tearing it away to reveal blood.
Furious, she flipped over to Raven and swipe-kicked her on the face, boot spikes leaving a nasty, bloody mark. Raven lost balance and fell to the pavement with a thud, hand grasping onto her cheek in pain.
Terra smirked at her wickedly. She held up her glowing hands, directly on top of her,
"Bye-Bye Birdie.."
Raven, defenseless at the moment, closed her eyes, bracing for the pain. But it never came.
"YAH!"
A grunt of pain came to Raven's ears.
Terra skidded to the right of where Raven was laying. Raven opened her eyes to see Beast Boy standing over her, fists balled but eyes weary and glossed over.
"Sorry, Terra."
He looked down at Raven and offered a hand. Raven took it against her will and stood with him.
"Titans!"
BB and Raven looked over to their scraped up, bloody leader calling them over. To the right was Cyborg, carrying Starfire in his arms. BB wondered briefly how Cy got his arm back so quick.
They both ran over to Robin and stood next to him, looking on to where he was, waiting for orders. Terra was recovering from Beast Boy's blow and Slade was peering over the roof's edge.
"Titans..fall back.."
Puffy gray smoke engulfed the weary Titans, covering their limp tracks.
There they stood. The heros and heroines of Jump City. Their capes whipped around in the strong wind, their eyes set in determination. They held no emotions on their sleeves. It was their duty to protect, their duty to fight. Rain leaked from the sky, the drops hitting and soaking the heros and heroines.
The bandages and band-aids began to slide off them, revealing horrible wounds. Hearts were filled with pain, but it was a duty, not an option.
They stood in the middle of Markov Lane, poised proudly. Wounded soldiers they were, but fight they will. Only won side can win.
Their leader, Dick Grayson, a.k.a.: Robin, stood in front, looking ahead, waiting for the opponents to make their entrance. People say the responsibility for a team is too much for a 16 year old to handle. For Robin though, it was just another day in Gotham..
Koriand'r , a.k.a.: Starfire, stood behind him on his left. Her arms were straight at her side, wet auburn hair blowing gracefully in the wind. Her green eyes showed no signs of previous weeping, yet it had occurred. She would always stand by her leader, her friend...her soul mate, what ever happened..
Victor Stone, a.k.a.: Cyborg, stood next to Starfire on her left. Electrical circuits sparked a bit in the noreaster, but it only showed his power, strength. The rain slid down his chocolate, bald head, onto his face. He did not care to wipe it off, it only showed grace..
Raven, her real name unknown, stood behind Robin on his right, next to Starfire on her right, with a space between them. Her bandages were sliding off her face, revealing vicious wounds and bruises. Red, burnt marks scarred her moon pale face on either side of her eyes. Purple strands of hair blew softly in the wind, cloak whipping violently in the rain. Her eyes showed nothing, like always, but there was uneasiness around her with the comrade beside her..
Garfield Logan. A.k.a. Beast Boy, stood on Raven's right. His hair plastered to his head, gel running out of it, leaving the hair resting right above his eyes. His green complexion had no marks, just of tiredness. He had not fought the previous battle, it was too much. But this time, it would be different. His arms were at his side, fists balled tightly. He kept repeating the words in his head, 'It is a duty, not an option.' ..
No one knew what results would take place. No one knew what side would win. But what they did know, the Teen Titans weren't going down without a fight.
"Ready to play?"
Terra stood on a floating boulder, in front of the Titans, stopping with just the amount of space between them. Slade followed beside her.
Robin did not move, " We know you're in there somewhere Terra. But we're not going to let you harm the city. So let's rock."
Slade's eye narrowed, "Are you sure Robin? Because everyone knows it's not safe to play with fire.."
He threw a little gray ball to the ground in the space between good and evil. The ball shivered for a second, then erupted in flames, dividing the Titans and Terra and Slade.
Robin and Raven drew their capes/cloaks up to their eyes from the sudden brightness while the rest held up their arms to their eyes.
Robin let his cape go, "Titans! GO!"
Raven and Starfire flew over the burning embers to Slade. Unbeknownst to the Titans, Slade's minions (the Slade-bots) came erupting out of the buildings. Starfire and Raven were forced to fight them off.
"Here we go.." Cy put a code into his mechanical system which turned his tattoo red. He held his breath and ran through the fire. Once released he punched one of the minions in the face, sparks and mechanical hardware flying everywhere.
Robin grinded his teeth as he walked as far as he could go up to the fire. Slade did so too. They faced each other down through the flames.
"So Robin, you're not going to run away again?"
Robin's masked narrowed with his eyes, "And miss your once and for all defeat? No way.."
Robin through a freezing disk into the fire, freezing part of it. He punched the ice with his bare fist with a "Yah!"
Robin quickly ran through the path before it was once again engulfed in flames.
Slade, at his first chance, took out his bo-staff and he and Robin fought head to head; one on one. Former master and former apprentice.
-
Beast boy stood in his same position, waiting for Terra to come to him. His wish was granted.
"You ready to rock?"
Beast boy winced at the memory that the comment brought (A/N: "Terra" ep.).
"Terra, please, don't do this. What happened? I thought you were back. I thought everything was fine."
Terra put a hand out towards BB's direction, "Nothing will be fine until you rot in hell."
Rocks and boulders with a yellow hue around them charged in Beast boy's direction. With quick thinking, BB morphed into a mouse, dodging them in his small size. He reverted back to himself once the danger passed.
"Terra, can't we talk this out? I think it's just a big misunderstanding!"
Terra stared angrily at him. "It was my misunderstanding for ever kissing you, hugging you and trusting you. That's what you wanted, huh? For me to fall into your arms and then take my life with a final snap."
BB's eyes widened, "No! I would NEVER do that! Slade's lying to you Terra! I know that you know the truth!"
Without of word, Terra floated to him on her rock and punched in the face without a second thought.
BB held his face in it's tingling pain. Terra tried to punch him again, but Beast boy took his hands away from his aching cheek and grabbed both of her arms. He pulled down on them, taking Terra down to the ground. He pinned her lightly. BB still didn't want to hurt her.
"Terra please, just listen to me. Slade did this to you before and the results were tragic. Get the facts straight! Don't repeat that history. You have a chance now to make everything right!"
Terra stopped struggling under his grip and looked into his eyes, almost as if she were reverting to her old self. But the moment was thrown away as Slade's words echoed in her head.
'He even tried to kill you..'
Terra screamed as she pushed herself forward, making BB go down on the pavement, her hands pinning him to the ground.
"You tried to kill me. Slade saved me. Your team is evil and vicious. Those are the facts, you get them straight!"
Terra summoned a rock over and brought it down as she quickly got up. Beast boy gasped and rolled over. The rock smashed in sharp pieces where he lay only seconds before.
Beast Boy got up and ran behind Terra and looped his arms around hers and pulled her into himself. He spun around to a store window and forced Terra to look into her reflection.
"Look at yourself Terra! Is this the life you want to lead?! I'm not lying to you, please, just come home and everything will be alright.."
Terra's eyes welled up with tears. She closed them and turned away from the window's mirror. "I don't have a home. It's just another one of your lies."
"No it's-!"
Terra shouted over him, "NO! You said that you'd be my friend no matter what.." Terra began to sob, "A-and when I came to you in need, in hurt..you-
you turned me away. You're lies..are everywhere. How can I ever trust you again?" She ended in a little whisper.
Beast boy winced. Two of friends couldn't trust him. As he thought this, his hold on Terra subsided for a moment, but Terra took advantage.
She swung around and grabbed his arm and threw him into the store window. Glass rained upon Beast boy, tearing away his skin, ripping his shirt.
Terra stepped into the store window, sniffing a bit. She stood over the injured boy.
He didn't move, only stared sadly at her.
Terra furrowed her eyebrows in anger, "Aren't you going to do anything?!"
Beast boy quietly spoke, "Why should I? The two girls I love can't trust me anymore and I've let them down.. Why bother..?"
Terra didn't take pity on him as she blasted through the store door onto the pavement outside.
Beast boy flopped onto the middle of Markov Lane like a rag doll. He rolled over by the fire.
Terra slowly walked toward him.
She stood over him. She was in control now. All it took was one final push..."
---------
"There's too many!!"
The minions of Slade kept appearing out of nowhere. There was too many.
Starfire grabbed her friends and flew to an abandoned office building. She shut and locked the door behind them and sighed.
"They are too numerous. It's 2,000 against three.."
Raven looked over to her, "So we're just going to hide in here like fools and let them take over the city?"
Cyborg sighed. His arm was going berserk and his circuits were practically fried. "Seems like it.."
Raven flared up. "What is wrong with you guys?! It is our duty to protect the city! Our duty to stop Slade! We are going out there right now to take him down or die trying!!"
"But how? They're draining us out."
"Doesn't matter. I think I have a plan-"
Just then, the door smashed open and revealed thousands of robots.
Starfire's eyes glowed bright green as did her hands. Cy's arm folded to reveal a sonic cannon. Raven's eyes glowed white, hands cackling with dark energy.
Starfire spoke as the robots circled around them.
"What is your plan, Raven?"
They started to close in.
"I..don't know.."
–
Robin and Slade..
Robin smelled smoke, rain, fog, blood and burning flesh all at once. The key elements of a fight. And death.
Slade was pushing Robin with his bo-staff toward the fire. Robin tried to push back but was weak. Previously, he had been thrown into a brick wall. That can take it out of you..
"Let us finish what should have been finished a long time ago.."
With a final push, Slade forced Robin into the flames.
Robin screamed in agony as his flesh started to give way. Blackness started to cover up his vision. Everything was spinning. Everything..was ending..
Slade smiled through his mask. The master had won..
---------------------------------------
"Terra! What are you waiting for!? Kill him, like he wants to kill you.."
Slade's voice pounded in Terra's ears. She was going to take another's life. She, Terra, was going to kill someone with her own two hands.
But it was time. No more waiting. No more chances.
---------------------------------------
A blue light flashed in the room as a robot was thrown to the wall by Cyborg's cannon.
"How many left?!"
Stafire shot one in the gut, "Much!"
Raven, growing worried for their lives and wondering where her two other teammates were shouted to Cy and Star, "Get out of the building!!"
Cy punched one into a wall, "You crazy?! We're not leaving you alone in here!"
Raven let out of frustrated sigh, "You're just going to have to trust me on this!"
Cy and Starfire hesitated before they went out the door. Just before Starfire did, she ran up to her friend and hugged her, "Please be careful." Raven returned it. "I will."
Starfire ran out with tears in her eyes.
Raven's eyes followed her until she was out of site. When she was, she turned around to the task at hand.
Raven put her hands together, like she was going to pray. She closed her eyes.
Back outside, Star and Cy were standing outside of the building, "Do you think we should have left her to fight alone?"
"I don't know, Star.. Raven is really strong. I'm sure she can handle it."
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the top floor starting to crumble.
"I hope.."
Inside the building...
The robots started closing in on Raven. Their sharp, mechanical fingers gleamed in the florescent lights.
Raven reopened her eyes, which have turned to a deep, coal black. Between the spaces of her hands, a pure white light was forming.
Raven pulled apart her hands, the whiteness growing along with them. Raven prayed in her mind that this would work.
"Azerath...Metrion...ZINTHOS!!!!"
She pulled out her arms to their official span and the whiteness became a bubble. Everything was blinded by it. Time seemed to stop.
Outside...
Suddenly, the building exploded in blackness, red, orange and yellow.
"Star! C'mon!"
"No! We cannot leave Raven!"
Starfire started to run to the exploding building but Cyborg grabbed her arm and started to run at his full speed.
The smoke and fire started to roll towards them. Without warning, another explosion occurred.
Cyborg, with quick agility, dove to the ground, and covered Starfire's head and body with his own.
Inside... (this is starting to get annoying.)
The dust settled. There was nothing left. All that remained of Slade's minions was dust and sparks. Nothing more.
Raven had her fists balled tightly, arms crossed in front of her, eyes closed. ("Nevermore" ep.) A big black bubble surrounded her, protecting her against the blow.
Raven sighed and put her arms to her side, the bubble disappearing. She stood for a moment put lost balance and fell to the ground from exhaustion. Raven picked her head up to survey the scene around her.
Proudly but weakly she spoke three words before blacking out completely,
"Or die trying.."
---------------------------
"Terra! NOW!"
Terra winced at Slade's harsh voice. She looked into Beast boy's eyes. They showed sadness and defeat. He had tried to get through to her, but gave up.
"Just so you know, I did once like you and I once did love you.."
Beast boy smiled weakly,
"That's all I ever wanted.."
A/N: Man, took me 3 days to write this!
Just so you know, I put in references to some of the things the Titans and Terra did. Just thought it would help out some people. Also, the street the Titans were on, Markov Lane, Markov is actually the 'comic book Terra's' last name ;)
Please read and review! :)
