Disclaimer- The telephone rings again. Takes out gun and shots that bitch down. (sigh) "I wish I owned Teen Titans."
Robin stirs as he awakens. He slowly opens his eyes and sits up. What time is it? He looks over his shoulder and read the numbers 5:35am. As he gets off the bed he yawns, then stretches. "I feel…great!" Robin realized all his aches and sores vanished. There was no sign nor trace of any pain. I haven't felt this good an ages. He punches and kicks random targets in the air and does a few simple acrobatic stunts. I'm ready to take on anyone. Wait. What's that smell…" He then notices that he's the one causing this smell. Man, do I stink. I'll go take a shower. Upon entering the bathroom in the infirmary, he uses the sink and then the toilet before stepping into the tub. He turned on the water and allowed himself to feel it's warmth, streaming down his body. Robin closed his eyes and forgot about the world. All he could think of was himself and the showering water. He felt truly relaxed and all the burdens lifted off his shoulders. He felt free from his duties, from his concerns, from his conscience, free from everything. After about a long five minutes, reality struck him and he reached for the shampoo. Rubbing his hands in his hair, he thought, Starfire. What should I get her. Maybe a necklace with our names embedded in it. Yeah that's sounds like a good idea. I bet she'll love it. He washed out the foam in his hair before reaching for the conditioner and repeating his previous actions. Where can I get something like that? Robin hit his head lightly at his stupidity. At the jewelry store, duh. After finishing up with his hair, he grabbed the soap, almost slipping out of his hand. I'll go early today. Maybe around 9 am.
He turned off the water and stepped out. He dried himself off with a towel and tied it around his waist, then made his way to his room. Robin put on his deodorant and shoved some gel in his hair. After using a cloth for his greasy hands, he opened his closet. Though the majority of his clothes were his uniform, he saw some clothing in the back. He took them out and placed them on his bed to get a better look at them. He had three shirts, all in single color and no type of design. One was black, the other crimson red, and the last one white. Then he turned his eyes on the two loose jeans lying next to the shirts. One was navy blue and the other completely black. He quickly decided what to where. He slipped into the crimson red shirt and black jeans. Now the only problem left were his feet. He easily put on two comfortable white socks, but did not want to put on his fighting boots. I got to have another pair of shoes somewhere around here. Robin checked every inch his closet, then behind his desk, in the corners of his room, but found nothing. "Your telling me that I don't own a single pair of shoes besides my boots!" he said to himself angrily. He sighed and fell on the floor next to his bed. Although lately he has not been sane, he ALWAYS kept a clean room. He couldn't stand to see anything out of order, but Beast Boy, he was an extreme exception. He sighed again. He layed parallel to his floor and turned his head to the right. His eyes widened at the image he saw. He reached under his bed and pulled it out. "I remember this. Cyborg got me these for my birthday a couple months back." Robin analyzed what he held as he sat on his bed. It was a pair shoes. It was black all over except for the red laces and the giant red checkmark on the outer sides. Coincidentally, this goes perfectly with what I'm wearing. As he finished putting on his shoes his stomach growled. Better get something to eat. He grabbed his mask, placed it over his eyes and left.
He walked to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and saw nothing. "What the fuck! What the hell happened to all the food?" I did eat a lot yesterday, but still. Usually there's a decent amount of food around. He opened some of the cabinets to reveal, several slices of bread, a bag of chips, three cup of noodles, and four canned foods. He reached for a canned food labeled Ravioli and prepared it. He took it out of the microwave, grabbed a fork, and began eating slowly. In the silence, he heard a ticking sound every second. Must be the clock. He looked back and verified his guess. The clock read 6:23am. Then his eyes fell on the broken phone. "What the…who could have broken it this time?" he shrugged it off and decided to ask his comrades about it later. He stood up and cleaned his bowl and fork when he finished.
"Hey Robin. I see your feeling better."
Robin looked up to reveal the source of the sort of happy voice. It was Raven. Raven greeted me. She never does that unless someone greets her. And even then she doesn't sound 'happy'. "Yeah, I'm not sure what came over me, but I'm fine now."
Raven walked over to the kitchen and prepared her herbal tea with graceful, joyous gestures. She was even humming a soothing melody under her breath.
Robin could see a change in Raven. He saw her happier and more lively. "Um, Raven. Care to share what has you so, brightly spirited."
"Sure." said a carefree girl. Raven felt free from the barriers she once had around herself, she felt open. "Last night, Starfire talked to me about my powers and I realized she was right." Raven gave Robin Starfire's explanation. "And instead of hiding my emotions to control them, I've decided to allow myself to feel. I feel so free." Raven said proudly and happily. Suddenly the clock burst into pieces. Raven laughed a little. "I still need to work on it, though."
"Glad to hear it." said a nervous Robin. He was indeed truly happy for his friend, but he was afraid she could accidentally hurt him somehow. Robin moved to the window of the common room to get some distance from Raven, and left her cleaning up her mess. I'm sure in a few days, she should have complete control, but until then, I'm going to have to keep my guard up.
Raven walked over to stand beside Robin and asked, "Planning anything special today?"
Robin looked at her strangely and answered, "Yeah, I might have something planed." Even though he didn't feel comfortable standing next to Raven, he didn't budge one bit.
"Like what?" she asked with curiosity dripping in her voice.
He wasn't going to tell her about his trip later that day, so instead he said, "I was planning to ask you if you could go to the grocery store and get food for the team." He knew she wasn't going to except, but said it anyway to amuse himself with her reaction.
"I'd love to." she said smiling.
What! "Ok." he said shocked by her words. "How about you take someone with you." She really has changed. And for the better too. Things are really going to change around here, I can feel it.
"I'll go with Beast Boy." she said simply. Raven returned to the kitchen upon hearing the sound of her herbal tea ready to drink. "I'll be on the roof, see you later. Oh, and by the way, nice clothes." she said as she left.
Robin blushed a little at her comment and shrugged it off. Now what time was it that they opened? 9 am sharp. What should I do until then. He looked at the huge wide screen TV and the game station. "Perfect." he said with a smile on a his face.
Cyborg stepped out of his room. Another boring day is on it's way. We should do something, dammit. A party would be nice, but Robin never lets me. Damn that short jerk. He should learn how to live a little. He made his way to the common room only to be filled with astonishment. Robin hasn't played the game station in over month. "Hey Rob, mind if I join." he said excitedly.
"Not at all." Robin said kindly but then changed his tone to a challenging one. "I can't wait to kick your ass."
Cyborg jumped on the couch and grabbed a controller. "Your on!" he exclaimed preparing for war.
"But first." Robin said as he paused the game. "Fix the phone you busted yesterday." he said harshly pointing to the phone, or what's left of it. Somehow Robin, using his detective skills, figured out it was Cyborg. Robin could hear him cursing under his breath as he left. He smiled sinisterly and resumed playing the game.
15 minutes later, Cyborg came back. "You ready?" he said ready for action.
"Always." was Robin's response. Robin Won the first round, then Cyborg the next two. They played many more rounds, many which were ties, but in the end, Cyborg had one more win then Robin. They changed the game played again.
"Dudes, what are you doing playing without me." said an excited Beast boy. He jumped in beside Cyborg and plugged in his controller. Although he was bored with video games, it's been a long time since he played multi player games. They changed the game and started playing Super Smash bros. Melee. (I love that game) Beast Boy chose DK, Cyborg Samus, and Robin C. Falcon. The fighting mode was put on free for all. At first they jumped Beast Boy, then it was Robin's turn to be ganged up on, and soon after it was Cyborgs. Everyone laughed and had tons of fun. Robin for once didn't care about winning, instead he enjoyed the game. After a long time playing someone else entered the room.
"Good morning friends!" Said an over joyous girl.
The guys kept their eyes glued to the screen and all said unanimously, "Hey Star."
Starfire noticed Robin was in good health. "Robin, you are better again." she said in a happy tone.
"Sure am. Wanna play?" Although she was not very skilled she did pretty well, considering she was handicapped. (In the game, not real life) Robin was having so much fun he lost track of time. When realization struck, he ask Cyborg, "Yo Cy! What time is it!"
"10:49am. Why?" he said curiously but still focused on the game.
"10:49!" he exclaimed. "I have got to go." Robin said hurriedly and left not giving the other's a chance to respond.
Beast Boy and Cyborg exchanged glances and continued playing. Starfire flew after him. "Robin?" questioned a voice filled with concern.
"Don't worry about me. I'm just going out somewhere. And no you can't come." he tried to say clearly and calmly. Then he commanded, "Don't, follow me." and with that, he left her speechless.
She chanted her mantra in a clear low voice to herself. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos, Azarath, Metr-…" Her train of thought was interrupted by an opening door. She stopped levitating and turned to the person at the door.
"Raven?"
"Yes Starfire."
"Why are you meditating?"
"Don't worry I'm not here concealing my emotions." Raven chuckled. "I'm just focusing my powers. Meditation does more then just keep my emotions in check you know. It also relaxes me. So, what did want?"
"Um, it is Robin. He left…alone." she said sadly.
"Don't worry about him. He's fine. He has his reasons for going alone. When he comes back, he'll be more then willing to talk to you." said Raven in an understanding tone. A gentle wind blew on them both.
"I hope you are correct?" said a sad Starfire.
"Well, anyway, it's just about time for me to go as well." she said heading towards the door.
"Go where?"
"Robin asked me to go and get food for the team. Have you looked in the kitchen lately, there's practically nothing there." said Raven eager to be on her way.
"May I accompany you?" She said wanting to go.
"Sorry Starfire. I was, um, planning to go with Beast Boy." Raven said turning her face away from Starfire as she blushed.
"Great idea friend. This will allow you to get closer to each other." Starfire exclaimed smiling at Raven who now had her back turned to her. "I hope all goes well."
"Yeah, me too." said a voice afraid of what could happen if everything did not go well. I hope I don't blow anything up, or hurt him. "C'ya." Raven left and walked down the stairs to the common room. The sounds of Cyborg and Beast Boy echoed through the halls. She stood there nervously at the entrance. She could see them play games but her eyes were focused more on Beast Boy. Her heart began to pound against her chest faster and faster. She calmed herself down and took a deep breath. She spoke to him in a clear normal voice. "Beast Boy, want to come with me to the grocery story?"
Beast Boy turned around surprised. He never expected to hear that from her. He responded happily after a short wait, "Yeah sure." He then turned to Cyborg "I'll be back."
"Yeah, back to lose." Cyborg laughed out loud.
Beast Boy was about to say something but decide not to. He left with Raven.
Robin entered the store. Inside he saw many shiny objects. The store was filled with gold and silver jewelry. They were incased in a see through glass. He walked and looked around before stopping at the counter. Lucky for him there were few people in the store. He spoke in a confident and strong tone. "Hey. How long does it take you to make a necklace."
The gentleman at the counter responded, "It depends on what you what me to make." Robin took out a picture from his left pocket and placed it firmly on the counter. Robin was no artist, but knew what he wanted it to look like. He drew the picture on the way to the store. The man studied the drawing. It showed the names Starfire, on top in orange, and Robin, in red at the bottom, on a dark pink heart. The part that went around a persons neck was a green color with a few diamonds stretching out from the heart. (I'm trying my best here to describe it. Sorry if you can't get a picture of what it looks like in your mind) "This may take some time. Maybe three, four days."
"What if I said I'd pay double the price, if you can get it done in five hours." said a persuasive Robin.
"Sir, something like this takes time. I can't just-." he was interrupted by an determined Robin.
"You listen here. I WANT this done in five hours! If you can't, then I guess I'll just have to give this load of money to someone else." Robin pulled out three thousand dollars in cash and slammed it on the desk. "When I come back for the necklace, I'll pay the rest in cash as well." Robin walked out of the store and got on his motorcycle. Robin smiled at himself as he road off, he always knew how to make a deal. His stomach growled. "I guess it's time to eat." He saw a Burger King and decided to eat there. He stepped in and the place was a bit crowded. "This could take away. But why not, I have a long wait ahead of me." He stood in line waiting for about 20 minutes. Finally it was his turn to order.
"What would you like sir." said the teen girl behind the cash register.
"I'll have two Big Macs, Large fries, 10 pieces of chicken nuggets, and a large coke."
The teen girl stared at him having a hard time believing he was going to eat all that. But she didn't question him. "Your order should be ready in five minutes. Please wait."
Five minutes passed and Robin received his order. He grabbed his tray and took a seat. "What should I do next." he said taking a bite out of his first Big Mac. I could take a walk in the park, go to the arcade, go window shopping, or… he trailed off with things to do to keep him occupied for his long wait.
"Alright, where do we start?" asked an excited Beast Boy.
"We'll start from one side of the store and work ourselves through all the isles." responded Raven taking a cart.
"We're gonna need more then one cart to get all we need." said Beast Boy grabbing a cart as well. They traveled through the dairy products first. Beast Boy went up ahead and began grabbing anything that said tofu on it. Tofu eggs, tofu cheese, tofu milks, and so on.
"Beast Boy, don't be selfish. What about the things the others want." she said a little annoyed at Beast Boy's actions.
"You mean all the regular food." Beast Boy saw the look that Raven gave him and decided to just agree with her. They went from isle to isle picking out what they wanted and what the others might like. Beast Boy kept getting quick glances of Raven. He wanted to say how he felt, but couldn't. Why can't I say it. I bet she likes me too. He smiled at the thought. But seriously, I think she does. A memory of yesterday's event came to him to support what he was thinking.
Why is he so quiet? What could he possibly be thinking? I could just read his mind, but that wouldn't be right and would ruin all the fun. "What's on your mind?" she questioned him.
"Um, uh…nothing." he said nervously.
"You know, I could just read your mind." she said teasingly.
"Hey! That's not fair." he said feeling helpless and at her mercy.
"Come on just tell me." she pushed on.
Beast Boy had no choice, but he was happy to tell her. "Well, um… you see… it's like this… I uh, I…I-like-you." he said nervously, blushing all over. Beast Boy looked at Raven's shocked, but happy face. She remained silent. "I've had this crush on you for such a long time, but I've never knew how to tell you." I wonder what happens now.
Did I hear him right? Did he say 'I like you'. Raven's heart began pounding against her chest, a strong, wonderful sensation emerging inside her heart. She was speechless.
"Um, Raven?" Beast Boy said a bit concerned.
She took control again and smiled, "Let's finish what we came here to do."
Not much was said after that small event, but it kept Beast Boy thinking. What happened back there. She totally like, spaced out. Does this mean she feels the same about me. Well anyways, no use getting her emotional in a place like this. That could be a disaster. I'll talk to her when we get back to the tower.
"Got everything we need?" asked Raven who still had feelings from the previous event lingering inside.
Beast Boy looked at the four carts that they over filled. "Looks like everything to me. Let's head back." It's a good thing we get this for free, or we'd have too pay about a 1,000 every week. Beast Boy laughed at the idea as he turned into an aerodactyle (however you spell that) and pick up half of the grocery bags with his feet as he took flight. Raven used her powers to get the rest and flew off with Beast Boy towards the tower.
Starfire sat on the sofa with Cyborg watching TV. "Um, friend Cyborg. How are you watching the television with your eyes closed." No response. What could be wrong with him. She then heard snoring sounds. Oh, he is merely asleep. I guess that is all one can do when one is bored. She sighed. She got up and looked out the window after turning off the TV. I wonder how my friends are doing. Thoughts of Robin filled her head. Why did Robin not wish for me to go with him. Could he be in danger. She then took notice of the communicator at her side. I can find his location with my communicator. She happily took it out and flipped it opened, only to find nothing. "Robin's whereabouts remain a mystery to me." she stepped away from the window and headed for her room. On her bed she layed thinking only of Robin. She looked at her heart shaped clock. It read 3:03pm. When will he return?
Beast Boy and Raven entered the common room. Beast Boy stared at the sleeping Cyborg and was more then happy waking him up. "Yo, Cy! It's your turn to put everything away!" Beast Boy looked astonished when he did not wake up. He looked at Raven and then back at Cyborg. "Drastic times calls for drastic measures." Beast Boy walked over to the alarm and punched the button. Every two seconds there was a red flash and a constant annoying, extremely loud sound.
As fast as lightning, Cyborg stood up and yelled, "What's the problem!" he looked around him frantically and saw a laughing Raven and a smirk on Beast Boy's face.
"The problem is, there's all these grocery bag here without a Cyborg putting them away." he said laughing. "It's your turn remember." he could hear Cyborg cursing under his breath as he began putting away the food. Beast Boy shut off the alarm.
"Friends, there is trouble?" said Starfire confused and worried.
Raven explained what happened as she continued laughing between sentences. Then several of the light bulbs when out. "Sorry about that." she said controlling her laughter. She cleaned up the mess and replaced the light bulbs using her powers. "So, has Robin come back yet."
"No, he has not." she said sadly.
"Don't worry he's fine. He'll be back soon." Raven said sympathetically. "If it makes you feel better, why don't you go and help out Cyborg."
"Good idea friend. Assisting him may take my mind off Robin." answered a sad tone. She slowly flew over to help Cyborg.
"So, um… wanna go talk about it?" Beast Boy asked shyly. He saw her nod her head and said. "Alright but let's go to your room, mines a mess." They walked silently beside each other and entered Raven's room. They stood there in the middle of the dark room. How should I start? "Raven?"
"Yeah." she responded nervously.
"I've told you how I felt, so um… now it's your turn." he said simply.
She remained silent for a short while before answering. "I've also had this thing for you for a long time. I was just scared to tell you, but more afraid of telling myself. I was afraid that my powers could do devastating damages if I didn't control my emotions. I wanted to be with you so much but couldn't." tears began to roll down her cheeks as she spoke, "And then that bitch Terra took you away. Stole you from me!" Now she was filled with hatred and objects in her room began to move. "She betrayed us. She broke your heart! I hated it!" Her room began falling apart.
"Raven it's okay, she's gone now. I never truly loved her, I loved you." he said embracing her in a hug. Everything grew still. Beast Boy could feel her body slowly stop shivering, though tears still continued to fall.
Raven felt at peace in Beast Boy's arms and threw her own around his neck. She could feel his soothing hands stroking her back gently. They stood there in serene silence. After a long while Beast Boy slowly pulled away. She stared into green eyes that were staring right back. Slowly leaning in, she placed her lips on his. They passionately kissed each other for a long minute before breaking apart to catch their breath. They breathed heavily as they stared at each other again. Then she heard a grumbling sound. "Beast Boy was that you."
Damn, what a time to be hungry. This totally ruins everything. "That would be my stomach." he said scratching his head hiding his anger at himself.
"Come on, let's get something to eat." she said letting go of him and walking to the door.
"I want to stay here with you." he said still angry with himself.
Raven went over and grabbed his hand saying, "We'll continue later. And it'll be much better, I promise. But I'm kinda hungry too, so let's go."
Beast Boy left with her hand in hand. He was happy at what she said, and couldn't wait to do it again. They exited Ravens destroyed room and made their way to the kitchen.
It's almost time. Robin got on his motorcycle and headed for an ATM. He slid his credit card down the side and punched in numbers. He withdrew the other half of the payment, 3000 dollars. He was shocked though when he saw his balance account. It read 92,680.00. Although he refused, the city insisted upon giving them a reward for each battle they fought. Each reward was an average 1000.00 for each member. Since Starfire had no idea what the green paper was, she gave it to Robin. Robin sped off to the jewelry store. He got off his bike and opened the door. He slowly made his way to the counter, staring with dead eyes at the guy standing there. "You got my stuff."
"It proved to be a very difficult job, but nothing I couldn't handle." The man slowly took out the necklace and handed it to Robin. Robin Began to analyzed it. "I'm quite sure you'll find the quality of the work to your liking." he said proudly.
"Perfect." Robin said in a deep voice. He reached into his pocket and pulled out 3 grand. "Nice working with ya." he said.
"The pleasure is all mine." he responded more then satisfied with the amount of money Robin left.
And with nothing more said, Robin turned around and walked out of the store. "Star is going to love this." he said to himself riding off to Titans Tower. Now, where was that ramp? Ah there it is. Robin picked up the speed and 'flew' across the ocean to titans tower. He could feel the adrenaline rushing through his blood, filling his entire body with excitement. He saw the ocean underneath him, then looked up at the tower and decided to push down on the air brakes. He used his boosters to glide down for a soft landing. He parked it inside the tower's garage and made his way up the stairs. He decided the longer route should give him time to think about how to approach Starfire. I hope she's not mad at me. I was kinda hard on her when I left. But this should more then make up for it. He gripped the necklace tightly and placed in his back pocket. I wonder where she could be. I'll start with the common room and then try her room. He entered the common room and saw Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy eating. "What's up guys?"
Cyborg talked for everyone when he said, "Where the hell have you been?"
"None your of damn business!" he shot back. He left angrily. He hated being questioned. He headed toward Starfires room slowly. She's got to be their. He knocked lightly. "Star, it's me, Robin, I want to talk to you." No response He knocked again, this time a little harder. "Star, you there." Still no response. Robin, slowly opened the door only to reveal no one inside. Where could she be? Hmm…the roof! If she not there then I have no idea where the hell she is. Robin walked up to the roof and stopped at the door. I seriously hope she's here. He took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. He saw someone sitting at the edge. That's her. He felt relieved. "Star?" he said approaching this person.
"Robin?" said a girl's voice. She threw her arms around him "I was so worried about you. Where were you?"
"I was out getting you a present." Robin smirked and slowly reached into his back pocket, pulling out the necklace. He gracefully handed it to Starfire.
Starfire gasped. "It's gorgeous." her eyes fell on the names embedded on the dark pink heart. She read it out loud. "Starfire & Robin. Does that mean…?"
"Yes Star, I love you." he said softly to her.
"I love you too Robin." she said with happiness filling her heart as she hugged him again and he hugged back. "Robin?" She said letting go. "You did not need to give me this to make me happy. Your words alone would have been more then enough."
"I know. But I wanted this to be a symbol of our relationship. Forever, you and I. Here let me help you with that." Robin gently grabbed the necklace from her hands and slowly placed it around her neck. "Your beautiful, you know that." he said leaning in for kiss. He caught her off guard but she gladly returned the kiss. They stopped and looked at the ocean as they took their seats at the edge closely next to each other. Robin put his right arm around her waist and she rested her head on his shoulder. Sitting there in silence, they enjoyed each other's company. The ocean was calm and the breeze warm.
The three finished their meals and looked at each other. "Don't look at me, I cleaned up last time." said Raven getting up from the table and laying on the couch.
Beast Boy and Cyborg stared each other down. Their fist came in front of them and they said unanimously, "Rock, paper, scissors!" they both picked rock, then scissors. 'Beast Boy, choose rock next' Beast Boy heard Raven say in his mind. And so he did as he heard. Beast Boy chose rock and Cyborg chose scissors. "HA! I win. That means you have to clean it up." Beast Boy left an angry Cyborg and sat next to a laughing Raven. "Your such a cheater," he said laughing with her.
"What are you talking about. You listened to me." she said redirecting the blame on him. They laughed together in low sounds as they saw Cyborg clean up. Suddenly a plate Cyborg was holding burst into pieces. She heard Cyborg curse and then calm down again. "Oops." was all Raven could say to herself and Beast Boy. After a short while of continued laughter, Beast Boy stared at Raven "What?" she questioned him shyly.
"I'm just glad to see you so happy." he answered lovingly. Raven remained quiet with a smile.
"Hey lovebirds," Cyborg interrupted their moment. "I'm picking up a disturbance in the weather. This could be one rough night."
Beast Boy looked out the window and above the vast ocean, he saw huge, dark clouds, slowly covering the sky. "A thunderstorm, big deal." Beast Boy turned to Raven who had a terrified look on her face. "Raven, what's wrong?"
She stared out the window as she spoke. "I sense great evil from this storm." Raven gripped her heart. "It's…coming for us."
"Well whatever it is, it won't be here for another few hours. Just look how slow it's going." Beast Boy said jokingly pointing to the storm.
Cyborg stared at him seriously, "This is no time for joking around. We have toprepare ourselves. I'll go check the main computer and back up systems. You guys get Robin." Cyborg leaves to the main computer room.
"Come on Beast Boy," she said urgently. "We don't have much time left."
Beast Boy just stood where he was. "What the hell are talking about? We have at least two hours before the storm hits." he said laughing a little.
Raven walked over to him, hit him on the head, and grabbed his hand pulling him with her to search for Robin.
"Ouch. What was that for?" he said following Raven up the stairs to the top of the tower.
"For being stupid." she answered looking back at him with an irritated expression. They met up with Robin and Stafire walking down the stairs they were climbing up.
"Raven, Beast Boy there's not much time. Something disastrous is going to happen. Where's Cyborg . We must prepare our defenses." Robin said calmly.
Instead of answering, Beast Boy exclaimed. "What the hell's wrong with you people. There's enough time to watch a 30 minute program, take a long shower, stuff my face with food, train until I drop, and take a nap. And even with all that we would still have enough time to prepare our defensive." Everyone looked at Beast Boy with eyes that said 'if you say another word, I'm going to kill you.' Beast Boy stepped a few feet back with a fearful smile on his face.
After a short silence, Raven spoke, "He's checking the main computer and back up systems."
"Good." Then he began barking commands. "Starfire, Beast Boy, get close to the storm and report any changes in it. Raven, try using your powers to locate the source of evil. I'll make final preparations for our defenses." Robin gave one last look at everyone and said. "Understood?" they all nodded. "Good, now get to it." Everyone went there separate ways. An hour passed and Robin decided to check how everyone was doing. He flipped open his communicator and contacted Starfire. "Star, weather report."
"The storm is becoming violent, there are strong winds in all directions and hail is beginning to fall." said a worried Starfire.
"Dude, it's like a tornado out here." Beast boy yelled in the background.
"Feel free to retreat your position anytime. I don't want you all getting hurt." Robin closed his Communicator and walked over to Cyborg, who was still in the main computer room. "Cyborg, how's everything."
"Main defenses at full power, Back up system fully charged and ready."
"Good" responded the leader. He walked out of the room and headed toward the common room. There Raven levitated, crossed legged, in silence in the middle of the room. "Raven, any luck."
"No," she answered disappointed. "There seems to be a force blocking me. I can't do anything about it."
Robin sighed. "Rest for now. Whatever it is, it'll be here soon." Robin turned to the wide window and stared at the destructive thunderstorm. He jammed his right fist into his left palm as he said with determination in his eyes. "And when it comes, we'll be ready for it."
Hope you like it. I'm still trying to figure out the plot, but I got good idea of how this is all going to turn out. Please don't forget to review. I might just feel motivated enough to update faster. Bye for now.
