Howdy y'all! welcome to the seventh chapter of Vortex! Here are review responses…
Nevermoretheraven: I'm sorry I forgot to put why Raven can't use her healing powers in chapter 5...AAAHH! in an early copy of the draft of chapter 5 they were all discussing how life was in the future. When I decided to nix that part and save it for later I accidentally deleted that part where Raven explains and never remembered to put it back so I'll put it in one of the next few chapters!!!Thanks for reviewing!!
I hope I didn't skip anyone as I am writing this late at night and will post it in the morning so if I missed anyone I'm sorry!
Oh also thank you to everyone who reviewed my new RobStar one shot called Chocolate Kisses!
There will be a mega dose of Reena in this chapter since everyone seems to like her so much so enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans or Care Bears (you'll see why I'm saying that) however I do own my brain which has the stupid Care Bear King Funshine song in it…AAAH!
On with the show!!!
Vortex
Chapter 7: a fight of all times part 2
Reena looked down at the ground in sadness. Her best buddy was depressed and she had to do something about it. She jumped down from her mother's arms and started walking out of the cave.
"Where are you going Reena?" Future Beastboy asked.
"To find my bestest buddy" Reena replied, turning into a cheetah.
"Reena, Wait!" Future Beastboy called but she was already out of the cave and out of sight.
Reena ran as fast as she could but even the swirling colors of running at 100 MPH couldn't block out how dark it was outside. Plus, being an albino cheetah running through the streets cause people to stare (AN: she doesn't have green skin like Beastboy-she has white skin like her mother-so instead of turning into green animals she turns into white ones. Just thought I'd clear that up) and she couldn't block that out either.
'Don't worry Reena it's just a little darkness-Nightfire wouldn't want you to be scared' she told herself, but it wasn't working and her brain was just hurting from thinking so much.
'I know!' she thought, a light bulb going off in her small brain.
Not only did she have her father's powers, but she had her mothers too. She turned back into a human, summoned a rock with her powers and looked for Nightfire from above. Her eyes were bright yellow with her rock moving powers, which illuminated the way a little bit. Sadly though, Reena was afraid of heights and she forgot to not look down at the ground…
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" She screamed as she saw how far from the ground she was. The fear caused her to lose control of her powers and the rock crumbled and she started to fall and scream until someone caught her in the air and flew her down to the ground at put her down.
"Nightfire!!!!!" She exclaimed, hugging him.
"I'm not in the mood for hugs now Reena" Nightfire said, breaking free of her hug and plopping down on a park bench, as they were in Jump City Central Park.
"Why are you so sad?" She asked plopping, down next to him on the bench.
" An evil madman is free to do whatever he wants in any time period and it's my fault. That's what's wrong" He said gloomily.
"Don't be sad Nightfire. All you need is a BIG HUG!!" She said wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tightly.
"No big hugs" He said, literally pushing Reena off of him.
"Hey don't push me!!" She said lightly shoving him back; unfortunately she shoved him back on his broken arm…
"OWWWWW!" Nightfire yelled.
"Oops sorry" Reena said "What you need is more than a big hug…you need a Care Bear hug!!!!!" Reena exclaimed pulling out a care bear from her pocket and hugging Nightfire while having the care bear hug him as well.
"Get your freaking care bear away from me," He said breaking free of her hug.
"Hey he's not a freaking care bear! He happens to be the vintage 2004 Singing King Funshine bear thank you very much," She said shoving the bear into his stomach so it looked like a hug.
" Fine. Get your freaking Sunshine whatever bear away from me then" Nightfire said, pushing the bear away.
"He's Singing king Funshine bear. And guess what?"
"What?'
"He sings!"
"Well who would have thought," Nightfire said sarcastically.
"I know! But he does! listen!!" Reena said pressing the bear's tummy and it started to sing the most dreadful song ever…
'Paint your face and wattle like a duck. Howl like a monkey in a fire truck-all I wanna do is make 'em laugh…' the bear sang.(AN: that's a real song that's on the Funshine bear. Kinda scary isn't it?)
That just caused Nightfire's fragile sanity to pop… " REENA SHUT UP YOUR FREAKING FUNSHINE CARE BEAR WHATEVER AND GET AWAY FROM ME!" He yelled.
Tears started to trickle down Reena's face as she hugged her Care Bear.
"Look, I'm sorry Reena…" Nightfire said sincerely.
" Tell it to someone who cares" Reena said starting to walk away, tears still falling from her eyes.
Nightfire got up and hugged her "Forgive me bestest buddy?" He said, although it pained him to use such a grammatically incorrect word as 'bestest'.
"Well…ok!! BIG CARE BEAR HUG!!!!!" She said wrapping her arms tightly around him.
"Ok Reena that's enough togetherness now…" he said but she still continued to hug him.
"Reena…let me go please…" He said and she finally let go.
"Will you watch the Care bears movie with me when we get home?" Reena asked.
" Don't push your luck Reena" He replied.
" But were still bestest buddies right?" She asked
"Yup. Thanks Reena."
"For what?"
" For cheering me up. Kind of." He said.
" Really? I cheered you up?!"
"Sort of."
"Yaay!! I'm the cheering up queen!!! Maybe they should make me a care bear!!" She exclaimed turning into a cute little bear cub.
"An albino Care bear that's eyes sometimes glow yellow. That will sell well," Nightfire said sarcastically.
"Aww stop being such a smarty pants Nightfire" Reena said, turning back into a human.
"Nope, sorry" Nightfire said with a smile "Now lets go and stop Slade!" Nightfire exclaimed, striking a super-hero pose.
"Yeah! We'll stop him with the power of care bear-ness!!" Reena exclaimed.
"Uhm Reena how about we just stop him with our own powers?" Nightfire said.
"Okay Dokey!" She said.
She then summoned a rock, reminded herself not to look down and took off into the sky, Nightfire flying behind her.
