My Season 4 - VOL. I

Abashed Enchanters, Part 4

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 ONE

At the intersection of two streets in the Old District of Jump City, Starfire, Robin, and Beast Boy watched as Plasmus- asleep and in human form; Cinderblock; and the Gordanian Bounty Hunters were loaded onto the police vans surrounding the cratered intersection, and taken away to the Jump City Jail.

As the villains were carted out, the three Titans looked at each other.

Robin nodded, and they left the area.


Starfire, carrying Robin, floated down onto the roof of Titans Tower from the sky.

Beast Boy, as an eagle, flew in and turned to his human form as he descended to the ground of the roof.


Lightning and thunder crashed as they cAme down the stairs into the living room.

"Am I the only one who thinks that was completely pointless?" asked Beast Boy.

Starfire and Robin were one voice. "No."

"But at least Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload are back in jail-" said Robin- "-not to mention those Gordanian Bounty Hunters," Starfire finished for him.

Beast Boy was irked by something. "Okay, Slade has GOT to get him some new cronies - seriously. We've fought those three like, what, five times this year?"

"It is true that we have had many battles with them," Starfire responded "but they are still criminals, and thus we must still continue to confront them whenever they pose a threat - to the city...or to us."

Beast Boy sighed, picked up the remote, and flicked on the TV.

None of the Titans even so much as flinched or looked around as a wave of dark energy rolled through the living room.


Raven's room, was blanketed in dark energy, which receded into itself, depositing 3 people into the middle of the room: Jinx, Raven, and Cyborg..

Jinx was holding Raven's mirror.

Once the dark energy had completely gone, Raven dropped to her knees, clutching her forehead.

Jinx was bringing her back to her feet before she even hit the ground. "You sure you're gonna be ok when we go in there?"

Raven shook her head. "It's my mind. Once we're inside, I'll be fine. Just give me a moment, and I'll be ready." "Okay," Jinx replied.

Cyborg leaned in to Jinx as Raven walked away to collect herself. "Remember: We're going into her head," he whispered to her. We're going to meet all sides of her personality. There's gonna be some stuff Raven finds embarrassing or would rather not talk about. So we gotta respect the woman's mind."

Raven, still with her back turned, grinned slyly under her hood.

"Says the man."

"What?" asked Cyborg. "Hey!"

Jinx giggled as she walked over to Raven. "I take it you're ready to go?" she asked, putting her hand on Raven's shoulder.

"Yeah," Raven replied

Cyborg scratched his head. "So, what exactly do we have to do this time? To get in the mirror, I mean?"

"We hold hands," said Raven, "and let me do all of it." Raven immediately grabbed Jinx's hand - before Jinx expected her to. Jinx worked hard to hide her blushing face.

"Ohh-kay," said Cyborg. "I can deal with that." He grabbed Jinx's hand. "Ow!" Jinx exclaimed, yanking her hand back.

Cyborg pulled his hand back, startled. "Whoops. Sorry, it's kinda hard to get a light grip with these hands."

Jinx recovered, and took Cyborg's hand again. Raven led them over to the mirror. She gripped Jinx's hand, tightly. "Hold on. It might be a little bumpy."

Her eyes turned white. She looked at the mirror. Dark energy started swirling out of the glass of the mirror - followed by dark energy from the frame of the mirror.

Jinx closed her eyes.

The dark energy covered them in a small tornado, which spun around at a dizzying speed—

—until it was sucked completely into the mirror.


BRANNNKK! BRANNNKK!

The alarms went off in the Tower. Beast Boy nearly jumped out of his chair because of them.

Robin rushed to the monitor.

"Who is it this time?" asked Beast Boy.

"It's no one." He pointed at the monitor. Water was drawing up over the rocks at the bottom of the base of the Tower. Lightning flashed. "The water level's starting to rise because of all the rain from the thunderstorm! If we can't stop it, it'll not only flood our Tower - but the entire city as well!"

Starfire gasped. Thunder crashed.


In Limbo in Raven's mind, Timid Raven – wearing grey and looking on the edge of crying - and Slade came out of the maze to the Forbidden Door. Timid Raven was rambling. "-and-"

"Oh, will you SHUT UP?" Slade suddenly yelled.

He raised his hand to hit her, but didn't. Don't want to release it too soon…

Timid Raven looked at Slade blankly for second, then:

"and he-"

"Cyborg doesn't like you, either," he interrupted her.

Timid Raven looked at him.

"Don't look at me," Slade growled, turning away from her.

"Yo! Bad Dude! Look at my FOOT!"

From out of left field, Brave Raven – green-cloaked, all-attitude - soared in, sending a fierce frontal kick to Slade's face, knocking him back

Brave Raven landed. "C'MON! You want some more?" she asked him

Slade got up. "Gladly." He sent a spin kick - and did a 360, losing his balance and falling down to the ground.

Brave Raven stood over him, gloating. "Aw, c'mon! What was that? You're weak!"

Slade tried to trip her, but she dodged. He got up and moved blisteringly fast with a punch—

—and clipped her.

But it wasn't enough. She kept moving, and tripped him.

Slade got to his feet and waited as Brave Raven came in for the attack once again.

This time, he lunged for her - but she stopped him. He couldn't seem to move. He'd been frozen by her block. Then after a moment:

PA-KOW! She sent a vicious roundhouse kick to his chest. Slade went soaring backwards through the air—

—and landed hard on the ground with a thick grunt of pain.

However, when he got up to retaliate, she wasn't there.

Slade dusted himself off and looks around.

"Hmmph. And I was holding back".

Something happened which he caught out of the corner of his eye. "Huh?"

Up in the "air", a portal opened—

—Raven let go of her grip on Jinx's hand, and Jinx and Cyborg landed on the ground—

—and then Raven came slamming down in a one-knee, one-fist-on-the ground stance, like a football player. All of Limbo shook upon her impact with the ground. Slade was sent back a few more feet from the huge shockwave.

Jinx looked around Limbo, awed. "Whoah."

"Yeah, it's kinda cool," Cyborg said, "- except for that." He pointed at Slade.

"Ah... The love triangle. How are things going there, my sweet & dear Jinx?" Slade asked.

Raven looked up, slowly, but directly into Slade's eyes, moving nothing but her head. Her eyes narrowed upon making direct contact. Her voice was stinging and harsh. "Slade..."

Slade lowered his head and glared. "Raven."
