Okay disclaimer and response time. Okay, first of all I don't own any of the characters in this story.
HVK: Since Calvin had such an active imagination, I figured he could use it as a power. Your concept is good too, though. And the costume- well I just sort of dreamed it up
-Wormwood as an alien? Well it does kind of make sense. Thanks to all my kind reviewers. This chapter ends the first arc of the story.
Raven floated over to Starfire, but Tracer stood stock still. The sword charm in the necklace gleamed and he launched himself straight at Blackfire. Blackfire threw a bolt at him, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Wormwood shot at him, but he deflected it by turning his gloves into metal and shielding his face with them. He took out the ray gun and shot the alien. It dropped to the ground stunned.
"Starfire, are you all right? Raven asked, shaking her friend. "Who are you?" Suzy asked. "I'm not Starfire! I'm Suzy Derkins!" Raven swore. Apparently Suzy and Starfire had switched bodies, so Suzy had all of Star's powers. At least she could help a little with this problem. "Suzy, calm down," she said. "I'll help you. Think of something that makes you happy.."
Tracer and Blackfire battled it out. Hobbes and Beast Boy were occupied with Wormwood and Robin and Cyborg were trying to get at Blackfire from the ground. Tracer finally reached Blackfire. He put his hands around her neck and tightened his grip.
Raven saw what Tracer was up to. "Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos," she called out. The spell hit him, but had no effect. Starfire, in Suzy's body was doing her best to get Tracer to stop choking her sister, but Suzy's body didn't have the strength that she was used to. The two girls were of different heights, adding to Starfire's difficulty.
Suzy thought frantically, think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts. Finally she managed to float a few feet above the ground. "Now what?" she called to Raven. "Get angry!" Raven yelled back. Angry was fine, she could do that. This guy wasn't Calvin, and she wanted the kind and somewhat flaky Calvin back, the Calvin she grew up with. She felt her hands warm up and realized they were glowing green.
She fired at Calvin, but her aim was off. She hit the disk that the three were standing on instead. The disc spun out of control and hit the ground, and the occupants were jolted apart. Blackfire slumped to the ground, unconscious. Starfire gave a sigh of relief and Tracer rubbed his eyes. "What happened?" he asked, noticing the unconcious Blackfire and the weird way his teammates were looking at him.
Later that night, Tracer and Hobbes sat on the rooftop. Hobbes was wrapped in his own thoughts and Tracer was uncharateristically silent. The door opened and Robin came onto the roof. "How's Blackfire?" Tracer asked. "She's fine, no thanks toyou," Robin snarled. "What were you thinking?"
"I wasn't, " Tracer admitted.
"From now on," Robin stated fiercely, "You're going to be meditating with Raven. If you ever get out of control like that again, you're off the team. Understand?"
Tracer nodded sadly.
"And by the way," Robin added. "We switched Suzy and Starfire back. Suzy wants to talk with you."
"I'll be right down," Tracer grinned. "Hobbes, are you coming?"
"In a minute," Hobbes replied.
As the two Titans left, Hobbes thought, We are running out of time. He'll have to learn more, get more powerful. I hope we have enough time left.
A young black haired womanwith a strange necklace, jumped down from her hiding place. Not that it mattered. Few people saw herfor who she really was. Blackfire would have been one of those few- if she had died. ButHobbes would have seenright through her, and she didn't want that. She'd had ahard enough time finding her youngest brother, without interference from him. I'll keep your secret for now, little brother, she thought, as she made her way back to her home.Although Death was as loyal to her siblings as the rest of the Endless, she also respected her brother's wishes. Unlike Dream and Delerium, Death had simply accepted his wishes when he left. She would not force him to return.
Slade's senses were still reeling. He couldn't believe it. After all this time, he dares to come back!And as a Titan too! he thought, still numb with rage. His lips curled up intoa smirk. But on the other hand, this doesn't mean I have a problem. I can simply destroy him and then destroy his friends.That was definitely a better plan. But he had to strike fast, or his other half would end up destroying him.
Tracer slept quietly, unaware of all these things. Hobbes was awake, trying to remember the spell that would ensure his master's continued survival.
Once, there were seven siblings called the Endless. They cannot die as we do, but they can change.Three brothers, three sisters and one who was neither, and each had their own realm. The youngest brother became discontented with his lot, as the centuries wore on. One day, he abandoned his realm. His younger sisters wept, and his older brother raged, but he still left. For several centuries, he wandered the human realm, and watched them from afar, pleased at what was happening.
