PG just in Case. This is my first story, so please be gentle
Takes place during the episode "Masks" but with a scary twist. Robin is so obsessed with finding Slade that anyone who stands in his way is in danger. But what would happen if Robin made a terrible mistake, a mistake that may have cost the life of one of his closest friends? Please R and R
I do not own "Teen Titans" and sadly I never will, so my writing is nothing more than a created liberty used to express different ideas and spiffyness! : I really wish I owned beast boy. He totally rocks! Go beast boy, Go beast boy! Anyway,
Please forgive me. Some of the scenes are not exact to what happens in the show, but ill do the best I can from memory.
Anyway, you've all read these, so lets get on to the story.
Chapter One
A little birdies mistake
The four titans ran in silence towards the southeast subway station where Robin had instructed them to go. The Red X character had been some what of a mystery to the brave heroes, and had caused there whole minds to swirl with confusion and questions, but none more than the green skinned changeling Beast Boy. He had been thinking about this very hard and something just didn't smell right, and with Beasts Boys heightened senses, he could tell. It seemed very interesting to Beast Boy that this "Red X" was after the same colored discs as Slade was, and if Slade was so desperately trying to get them, why hadn't Slade tried harder to stop this Red X from getting the disks? And what are the disks for? Also, it seemed way to convenient that Robin was gone when ever Red...
WHAM!
While Beast Boys mind had been wandering, he had managed to run right into a dumpster that was protruding out from a corner, and go flying right into Raven who had been gliding in front of him.
"Beast BOY!" yelled Raven, momentarily losing control of her powers. Her eyes turned a sharp red and Beast Boy quickly stood up, slowly backing away with a very embarrassed grin on his face. "Uhhh.... Sorry Raven, I didn't see you there"
"Yeah, and you didn't see the dumpster either" came Ravens irritated voice from within her cloaked hood. Beast Boy was even more embarrassed inside than out. All Beast Boy ever wanted to do was get to know Raven a little more, and it seemed like he always messed everything up. The only way that Beast Boy knew how to get out of these situations was to joke.
"Well, at least I'm better at fighting then running!"beast boy laughed nervously
"Frankly I'm surprised your not dead yet" came Ravens annoyed response. That hurt Beast Boy more than any wound he could have physically received.
"What's going on guys?" it was Cyborg, who had heard the accident and had ran back to see what was up, followed closely by a floating Star Fire.
"Are you injured?" Star Fire asked worriedly looking from Beast Boy to Raven back to Beast Boy. It was then that Beast Boy felt the terrible pain in his head where his forehead had collided with the dumpster.
"Were fine," said Raven while dusting off her dirty cloak and throwing a dangerous look at Beast Boy who was rubbing his head.
"What happened?" asked Cy. Raven was about to respond when Beast Boy quickly cut in, "Not now man, we need to get to the station and help Robin"
"Yes," Star Fire agreed, "that is a most wise decision. Lets go assist friend Robin" and with that she turned and flew in the direction followed closely by the rest of the team.
Man, thought beast boy, is there any way this night can get any worse?
Not far away, a man in a black suit and a white mask with a unmistakable red X across it came running down a tower of crates, followed closely but the boy wonder Robin. The other four titans had just ran around the corner to see the masked villain running away from their comrade and leader Robin. But in a split second the Red X had turned around and thrown a red net over the unsuspecting Robin, trapping him.
"Im fine" yelled robin, "Get X, go!"
Without further hesitation, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy ran after the Red X. Star Fire looked back at Robin with concern but then continued after the other titans.
Red X ran with all his might down a long staircase and into the subway, followed by the titans who weren't going to let X get the better of them this time. The subway was practically empty except for a few pillars, broken phone booths, and the subway railway. Red X quickly realized that he had run right into a dead end.
"Its over" came Cyborgs voice. Red X turned to see the teen titans, posed impressively at the base of the stairs. They all knew that a fight was about to begin. Beast Boy felt especially cold and out of it this evening, and even this whole fight didn't seem right, but he wasn't going to let it show, he had a job to do.
"Titans, Go!" yelled Cyborg, and the battle begun.
Their last battle with Red X had lasted a lot shorter. It seemed that Red X had known exactly what each of the titans weaknesses were. But this time the teen titans were not going to fall for the same tricks again. Red X shot a streaking red X right at Star Fire in a attempt to tie her up, but at the last second Raven made a quick wave with her hand in front of Star, creating a black shield to stop Red X's attack. Raven quickly did the same to her own mouth protecting it from a similar attack.
Raven crouched into a offensive position, quickly speaking azeraht metrion, zinthose! Causing a great wave of black power to rocket towards Red X, who jumped into a backwards flip while also dodging the green energy shots from the flying Star Fire. Red X hid behind a large pillar and ambushed Cyborg, throwing an electric device on his back intended to blow his hardrive. Cyborg turned and smiled at Red X. "you've got to do better then that this time" said Cyborg, charging at the masked man, who flew right over Cyborg and kicked him hard in the back, sending him flying to the ground. With in seconds, Red X flew into the air and kicked Raven hard in the chest also sending her to the ground. At last it was Beast Boys turn.
Beast Boy charged, thinking quickly on what form he should take to fight Red X. the picture of a ram came clear to his mind, and he focused all his concentration into it until he began to feel his body take form. With tremendous speed and power, beast boy (the ram) charged strait at Red X, who was ready for his attack. With disturbing precision, Red X kicked hard into Beast Boys chest just as he lunged at Red X, sending the now human Beast Boy flying across the room, against the wall and down into the subway railings.
Beast boy was disoriented and dizzy. He forced him self to his knees, kicking himself for letting X get the better of him, but a sudden sound washed all of that from his mind. A loud horn and a bright light emitted out of the darkness in the tunnel ahead of him. His eyes widened and his mind went blank. Any thought, any plan or maneuver to save himself was lost, all he could do was stare into the oblivion. Everyone in the subway stopped as they heard it to, and saw the light painted on beast boys face. A horrible realization dawned on their faces and they all screamed for him to move. Red X ran forward in an attempt to save him, but he knew that he would never make it. All Red X could do was yell his name before a soul piercing scream filled the room and the great subway car rocketed threw the station.
"NO" screamed Star Fire, a look of utmost fear and sadness filling her face. She flew forward in an attempt to do anything she could, but Cyborg held her back. "No star, Stop" but Cyborgs eyes had filled with tears and he looked as if he had been shot in the heart. Raven could do nothing. All she could do was stare at the place were Beast Boy had been only moments before. She was in complete shock. She had lost him, the only person she ever cared for, the only person who cared for her, the person who only minutes before she had yelled at for bumping into her. Gone...gone forever...No, he wasn't gone, he couldn't be gone.
Star Fire cried uncontrollably into Cyborgs arms and fell to the floor in a miserable heap. Cyborg looked at Red X, kneeling in front of the train, his hands gripping the ground in front of him. Cyborg felt an anger that was more real and destructive then he had ever felt before. Cyborg ran forward and seized Red X by his shoulders, holding him up to his tear stained face.
"You killed him!" screamed Cyborg "Ill never forgive you..." and with one massive arm, Cyborg wrenched the mask off of Red X and stared with unbelievable shock into a face that was even more tear stricken then his.
"Ro-Robin?"
