Of Both Worlds
Chapter 4- Raven has a friend
Raven ran into the living room where the rest of the titans were waiting.
"She's gone" she said urgently. Robin stood.
"What?" he asked. Cyborg, BB and Starfire also stood.
"She thinks we're against her" Raven answered
"We must find our new friend" Star said frantically
"She's right; its dangerous having her out on the streets" Cyborg answered
"Yeah", BB added, "she might go all…" Raven glared at him, "never mind" he said.
"Titans go!" Robin yelled and they left to find Nyx.
Nyx sat on a building top. The wind made her wings sway as she stared out thinking about the Goth's words.
"She could help me" she said to the empty sky
"No, but I can" a deep voice said behind her she turned around.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am…" he was hit by a black ball and he fell off the building.
"Are you alright?" the robot asked
"Yeah" she said gruffly, "why did you look for me?"
"We want to help" the masked boy said, "you seem lost"
"Some things aren't meant to be found" she said devoid
"But some are" the Goth's voice said as she floated behind Nyx, "I know it's hard, but give us a chance"
"Fine" she said standing up
AT THE TOWER
Robin led Nyx to an empty room.
"You can stay here" he said. She walked in and sat on the bed.
"Thank you" she said genuinely
"You're welcome" he said, "Raven will enjoy your company"
"I hope so" she said staring out
"Nyx?" he asked
"Yeah"
"Why do you wear a mask?"
"Why do you?"
"I asked you first"
"It hides a horrible gift"
"Can I …"
"No" she stood up and turned her back to him. "You don't want to see what hides behind this mask."
Raven knocked on the door.
"May I come in?" she asked, Nyx nodded.
"I'll leave" Robin said exiting
"I'm sorry I kind of freaked out" she said staring at her feet
"It's ok; happens to everyone"
"So, what kind of powers do you have?" raven asked
"I can manipulate lightning" Nyx replied. Raven looked confused.
"Maybe some time I can show.." The alarm went off.
"Guess we'll get to see them now" she said as the two ran out of the room.
Raven, Nyx and Starfire sped through the air as BB Robin and Cyborg traveled by foot.
"Where are we going?" Nyx asked
"The pier" starfire answered
"Why?"
"Slade" Raven said
They approached the pier to find Slade. He had a hostage and was threatening to throw her off the pier. The three girls stayed airborne until Robin signaled for them to land.
"We can't comply" he said "the demand is too high"
"What does he want?" Nyx asked
"You" Robin replied
"No" Raven replied, "that's too dangerous"
"Our powers won't work on him Rae" BB said, "But yours…"
"No, I'm not strong…" she looked at Nyx, "I need your help"
"I can try" she said. The two linked hands and readied themselves.
"Are you ready?" Raven asked
"Ready as I'll ever be" she responded nervously.
"Azareth"
"Banorum"
"Metrion"
"Et"
"Zinthos"
"Malorum" A silver and black light erupted from the two. One took the shape of a raven and the other became a horse. The two rammed into Slade, forcing him to drop the girl (who Robin caught) Slade yelled in anguish
"No! I will see you soon titans" he disappeared
Raven and Nyx let go. Nyx fell to her knees in a trance. Raven kneeled down beside her.
"Are you ok?"
"No"
"It's hard the first time. Seeing your powers at work"
"That's not what I saw"
"What did you see?"
"Destruction, chaos. You." Raven froze.
"Is that going to happen?" Raven smiled.
"No" she looked at Nyx
"You're going to stop it" The other titans approached.
"That was…uh…cool" Cyborg said nervously
"Cool? That was awesome!" BB exclaimed
"Good job, Nyx" Robin said patting her on the back
"Thanks" she said
AT THE TOWER
Raven led Nyx to yet another room in the tower.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see" They went into a darkened room and Raven flipped a switch. Nyx gasped; the room in which she stood was designed almost to look like a temple. It had pagoda-style ceilings with a low lying bed and a table with incense and herbs.
"Oh wow" She turned to them
"Yeah well it helps being psychic" Raven said smiling. She walked forward and handed a communicator to Nyx.
"Welcome to the team" Robin said
"Thank you" Nyx replied. And thank you she said to Raven psychically. Raven's eyes widened. Bet you didn't know I could do that.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Nyx sat in her new room meditating. She lit some incense and prayed:
Please guide me
There is someone like me
Is this my destiny?
Is there another?
She opened her eyes and looked into the incense; a raven formed.
You will stop it Raven's words echoed through her mind.
