My Season 4 - VOL. I
Abashed Enchanters, Part 2
The 2nd Teen Titans Fanscript – Fanfic Adaptation
By RavenStar
Author's Note: The plot for Abashed Enchanters is as follows: Jinx defects to the Titans, quickly quelling thoughts that she's trying to subvert them, and soon becomes a powerful new addition and friend to the group. But when an unexpected attraction starts forming between her and Raven, both girls find themselves confused over their feelings and emotions - and Cyborg finds himself needing a more efficient circuit breaker for his jealousy fuse.
ACT TWO
Lightning and thunder crashed, illuminating Jinx as she backed away from Gizmo in total fear. The other Titans, in defence stances, backed up as well.
"Miss me, Jinx?" Gizmo cackled.
Jinx was aghast. "How did you-"
The other Titans bumped into something behind them. They looked back. Mammoth was revealed by the next CRASH of thunder and lightning. He glowered down at them. "-escape?"
"Wouldn't you like to know, snot-faces?" laughed Gizmo
Robin lowered his body, and his glare. "Well, it doesn't really matter now..."
Thick, dark clouds moved in over the windows, engulfing the whole room in total darkness
"CAUSE THIS IS OUR HOUSE!" Cyborg screamed through the darkness
"TITANS! GO!"
Illuminated only by the strobe-light-like flashing of Starfire's starbolts and the occasional crash of thunder and lightning, the battle was ferocious. Quickly, Jinx re-grouped with the Titans, and she, Raven, and Cyborg fought Gizmo - who could only track the three by their colored eyes which appeared to move like purple, white, and one red-eyed cheshire cats.
Starfire's machine gun-like hurling of her starbolts quickly pinpointed the battle between Mammoth and her, Robin, and Beast Boy. Beast Boy turned into a dinosaur, only to be accidentally blinded by one of Robin's freeze discs. Robin himself attempted to land a few whacks of his staff against Mammoth from behind - but Mammoth caught sight and dodged at seemingly the last possible second.
Disembodied pink and white eyes careened towards a spot in the dark. The next flash of thunder and lightning caught Gizmo jumping out of the way as Jinx and Raven crashed into one another. They landed on top of each other with their faces right next to each other, their lips nearly touching. Some light filtered through the clouds suddenly, making them barely visible. Jinx rand her hand through Raven's hair, smoothing the ruffle caused by the collision, and smiled calmly. "You okay?" she asked in a concerned, caring tone.
Raven smiled lightly. "Yeah. Thanks."
"No problem," said Jinx.
Her eyes meet Raven's dead on. Raven tried to tear her eyes away from Jinx's, but she couldn't – it was almost as if she wanted to keep looking into them…
However, the connection was broken for them when they had to roll in opposite directions out of the way in order to avoid a grappling Cyborg and Gizmo from falling on top of them as thunder and lightning crashed.
Their little moment seemed to have never happened as their eyes quickly turned back to white and purple and they re-entered the battle. Raven tossed Gizmo off Cyborg with her telekinetic powers, and Jinx hurled a hex which sliced through Gizmo's spider suit legs. Gizmo fell to the ground with his signature "WHAEAHHH!"
It seemed they'd defeated Gizmo. The dark clouds moved back in. Disembodied red, purple, and white eyes converged on him as the light faded back into dark silence.
SCHING! The next lightning and thunder flashed as a new set of legs shot from his spider suit. They caught Jinx across the face hard, whipping her around. She fell into Cyborg's arms, unconscious. The disembodied purple eyes closed. A disembodied red eye looked up at disembodied white eyes.
"I got him tangled up!" Raven said through the dark. "Tend to her!"
The red eye looked back at where the purpled eyes were. "JINX! Wake up!" Cyborg's voice rang out in the utter black. Nothing. A bit of light again filtered through the windows, briefly making Cyborg and Jinx barely visible. "C'mon, Jinx! Wake up!" Cyborg was getting worried.
Then Jinx stirred. Lightning flashed. "Mmm..." Jinx opened her eyes. The dark clouds moved back in again. Thunder crashed. "…Cyborg?" Jinx asked groggily in the dark.
"C'mon!" Cyborg replied. "This struggle ain't over!"
Jinx quickly snapped to, and in a moment was back in the fight.
The Robin, Starfire, and Beast Boy vs. Mammoth fight, however, was not going so well for the Titans. Starfire still hurled starbolts at machine-gun speed, but Mammoth kept dodging them. Beast Boy's protest cut through the pitch black. "Starfire, c'mon! We're not gonna have a living room if you keep doing that!" Then, as lightning flashed, Mammoth laid out a CRACK!ing punch on Starfire's face, sending her flying across the room and slamming into the wall just as thunder roared. "Oof!" Starfire exclaimed upon the impact.
"STARFIRE!" Robin yelled through the dark. Light barely filtered through the windows again as he ran over to her.
"Hey, what am I supposed to do?" said an annoyed Beast Boy.
"Fight me!" Mammoth answered. "HUR-RAH!" Beast Boy dodged the overhead hammer blow from the brute.
Gizmo blocked an attack from Raven and sent her flying across the room - almost, as she recovered quite quickly in midair. But now Gizmo had evaded them.
"Titans!" Robin said in the dark. "We have to get them away from the Tower!"
"Don't you mean out of the Tower - OOF!" Cyborg exclaimed as Gizmo landed a clean hit on him in the darkness. A disembodied red eye flew through the darkness in the direction the blow was received-only to end up impacting with two disembodied purple eyes. "OOF!" Jinx grunted as Cyborg smushed her in the dark.
"Does it really matter?" Raven asked Robin in the dark
"You okay, Cyborg?" Jinx asked Cyborg, her voice seeming closer than it was to the Titans.
Lightning and thunder flashed. Cyborg's head was in Jinx's lap. As the lightning faded, he responded. "Never been better."
Gizmo's nasal voice sliced through the night. "Ugh - don't make me sick, ya' crammin' lovebirds."
Disembodied white eyes whirled around upon hearing this.
"Yeah," Mammoth's voice rang out. "Besides, we're here to ruin your honeymoon –"
"-YOU TRAITORS!"
Gizmo whirled in the lightning and sent some of his own special little explosives at Cyborg, Jinx, and Raven--
--and the darkness rolled back in before they hit, leaving disembodied eyes to dodge the strobe-light-speed series of explosions. Jinx sent a few hexes back at the direction the explosives came from. They connected with something that resulted in electrical sparks. "Augh!" Gizmo's voice was unmistakable.
Like a ghost in a black sheet, the disembodied white eyes of inspected the area where the sparks and Gizmo's cry came from—
—resulting in the shadow that was Mammoth swinging a THWACK!ing punch at the next lightning crash—
—which connected with Beast Boy, who ran in front of Raven at the last possible moment. The punch sent Beast Boy through one of the windows of the living room with a KEE-RASSH! of glass.
Now, a little light seeped through.
"Beast Boy!" Jinx cried.
"He's fine," Raven reassured her.
"But at least now we got a little light-" Cyborg started
"-and a way to get them away from the Tower!" Robin finished.
"Hah! Don't bet on it, scuzzball!" Gizmo cackled.
Mammoth turns around and knocked out a beam near the hallway, causing the ceiling over the area to collapse in a huge pile of rubble. Mammoth turns back and grins. Lightning flashed. Thunder ROARED.
Cyborg groaned. "Oh, well that's just spiffy."
Gizmo and Mammoth advanced on the Titans. Their route to the stairs and the roof had been cut off. "Looks more like we've found another way to take your Tower again!" Gizmo snorted.
A green red-tailed hawk screeched as it flew up to the broken window and Beast Boy joined his friends. "That ain't gonna happen..."
"Oh, yes it will," Gizmo replied. He and Mammoth advanced a bit more.
The Titans drew back into a back-to-back protective circle.
Cyborg readied his sonic cannon. "Says who?"
Mammoth cracked his knuckles. "Us."
Jinx's eyes started glowing purple. "What do you want?"
Gizmo was fierce. "You. Traitor."
"You can't have her." Raven was quite harsh in tone.
"She left you," Cyborg reminded them.
"You don't leave the HIVE," Mammoth grunted.
Jinx was fed up. "I told you, the HIVE is behind me!"
"Tell that to the new Headmaster." Gizmo sneered.
"New Headmaster?"
"Yes. The new Headmaster."
The voice sent chills up the Titans' spines.
Jinx froze as Slade stepped out of the darkness behind her.
