My Season 4 - VOL. III
Reunion, Part 1
The 6th Teen Titans Fanscript – Fanfic Adaptation
By RavenStar
Author's Note: The plot of "Reunion" is as follows: Jinx has switched sides. Slade has returned. Terra's back. What could possibly happen to the Titans next? Then Raven gets a visitor. Let the nightmare begin.
Note #1: OneLine appears briefly in Part 3, as well as do four other fancharacters I created for my first fanscript – villains called The Writer, The Director, The Cameraman, and The Producer. The fanscript those three characters has been adapted and posted up here – it is my story "Behind The Scenes."
Note #2: "Reunion" draws HEAVILY from the 80's comics. ALL of Reunion, Part 1 is dialogue, with no fight scenes – the only fights in Part 1 are arguments. It might seem boring for some people, but trust, all of it will pay off in the end.
COLD OPENING
It was an especially stormy night over Jump City. The clouds were dark
Over Titans' Tower, lightning crackled like a demon's haunted laugh. Thunder snapped, a haunted stick in the sky.
Inside the Tower, in what was now Raven and Jinx's room, Jinx was fast asleep in a bed right alongside Raven's.
However, Raven was tossing and turning in hers - frantically. She mumbled frantically in her sleep. "No! No! Leave her alone! Please! Don't hurt her! I beg of you, stop it! Stop it! Please! Leave her alone! Stop! No! NO! DON'T HURT HER! LEAVE HER ALONE!"
She bolted awake just as lightning flashed. "NO!" she screamed at the top of her lungs just as thunder crashed outside.
"RAVEN!" Jinx bolted out of her bed to Raven's. She was cradling Raven's head before Raven could find her in the dark. Tear-filled, she embraced Jinx. "Jinx! Oh, thank you, Jinx!" She buried her tear-stricken face into Jinx's outfit, sobbing almost uncontrollably. Jinx just stayed calm. "It's all right, Raven," she said soothingly. "It's gonna be all right... I'm here. I won't leave your side. You know that. Now calm down. Calm down — and tell me what happened. I'll listen to everything."
Raven looked up into Jinx's eyes. It was clear the tears streaming down her face had been hiding for a while. Jinx smiled calmly down at her. Raven started to regain composure. "I saw - it happened when I was really little -oh, Jinx! He - he was hurting her - he was hurting her so badly!"
"Who, Raven?" Jinx begged. "Who? Who's he? Who's sh-"
Raven's door was wrenched open by Cyborg - with him were the rest of the Titans - Robin, Starfire, Terra, and Beast Boy. "Raven!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"Are you all right?" Cyborg asked.
Jinx shooed them back "She's fine, guys. She's gonna be fine. It's just another nightmare, is all..."
Starfire countered. "But that is the third nightmare that has caused to scream so loud as to bring us running to your room in –"
"-less than three months. Yes, Star, I know," said Raven, now beginning to sound more like herself.
"You sure you're okay, Rave?" Beast Boy asked.
Raven got up, with Jinx's help. "No."
The confidence inflected in the response surprised Jinx.
Raven continued: "These aren't any ordinary nightmares that I'm having. They're memories of things from my past, that are somehow being drug up in me when I'm asleep." All the Titans' faces now shared the same concern as Jinx's. "If I keep having these nightmares, or something else completely unexpected happens to me, all of you need to start preparing yourselves for the worst."
All the Titans fell silent in their gasping disbelief. "Huh?" asked Beast Boy.
"Raven, what do you mean?" asked Jinx, seriously concerned. "Please, tell us! What in the world are you talking about? We need to know, Raven—" She took Raven's chin in the palm of her hand. "I need to know. Please, Raven. If you're not gonna tell anybody else, at least - at least tell me. Please!"
Raven looked away shamefully. "I can't tell you anything right now. I've told you all you need to know."
TUMP TUMP TUMP TUMP TUMP! Someone knocked at the Tower door. "Now who could that be?" Cyborg wondered.
Raven had already transported to the first floor to find out.
Raven materialized out of the carpet, opened the door - and her eyes flew wide open.
