Title: Tale of Two Song Birds

Chapter Title: Then There Was Nothing- Year 8

A/N: sorry for the long wait (don't kill me!) First I had writers block…then I had more writers block, than we started a new semester…x.x and blah…

Stephanieff: possibly because Teen Titan's is also a comic and when I was making the fic, I looked for teen titans and there was NO way to tell the DIFFERENCE between the two teen titans, all it says is:

Tarzan

Teen Titans

Teen Titans

Check for yourself in the search area…and I did not appreciate the alleged 'review' since it had nothing to do with my fic…


Her body was encased in ice and a glass tube. It was torn all over the place, broken bones bent, twisted, and very morbid looking. Around her pale body, the ice was tinted the light crimson colour of diluted blood. Her body was defiantly staying that way, at least until the technology was advanced enough to un-twist her limbs and put back the shreds of skin. Her heart had the faintest of pulses, so as long as the cryogenics held out, she would too.


Robin sighed. He was tired, bleary eyed, and dragged into a three player game with Beast Boy and Cyborg, who were relatively themselves. He desperately wanted to go to the basement, even in the freezing temperatures, and 'talk' to Raven, even her mangled body was comforting, just to know she was alive.

The blaring red lights and sirens came on. A picture replaced the paused game screen, showing their enemy. It was Ternion. The picture on the screen came to life as the surveillance camera kicked into action, showing Ternion using electric blasts and gooey gobs of purple to rampage a park, presumably going to the warehouse nearby.

"Titans, Go…" Robin said miserably, half running, half dragging himself to the garage where he got his motorcycle and sped out, hoping to get renewed vigor before they made contact.


Ternion was looking for her. It was said that she killed herself about 8 years ago in desperation to destroy the never ceasing enemy, and to rid the danger of her flying emotions. Someone got a tip that she was being held in a cryogenics tube, either somewhere high security, or at the Titans Tower, he decided to see what fight the Titan's had left and went for the warehouse by sending Ternion to do the dirty work.

The big, globby body of Ternion, held together by cinderblock parts and electricity, made its way to the high security 'warehouse', leaving big foot prints behind. His master, whom he didn't know the actual face of, had decided that this would defiantly be the fall of the Teen Titans, and they had to go out with a bang.

Something hit the backside of Ternion's bug eyed green face, it hardly felt like a pin prick, but he knew the cause. Turning around, almost raged by instincts, he saw the Boy Wonder, his billowing cap, and the rest of the crew, or what was left of it.


Cyborg parked his car a few blocks away and ran to the kill zone. His arm had already started shifting into the attached ion cannon; he was now waiting for the queue given by Robin, or the right opportunity to use the powerful blast.

If Ternion had emotions, and you could see them through his eyes, he probably would be looking at Cyborg with pity, knowing all too well that his cannon would have no effect.

Beast Boy turned into a T-Rex and charged, teeth first, mouth gaping open. The piercing jagged edge of a blast of electricity shocked Beast Boy's throat, causing him to change into a smaller animal and fall to the ground.

Behind Beast Boy, Robin had jumped up in a formation and threw a round, ice discus that exploded on Ternion's face and froze it. At almost the same instant, Cyborg shot his ion cannon, hoping to destroy the beasts face, but to no avail.

Ternion 'retreated' into the ware house, causing a few pipes to explode and drip as he passed easily through the walls. His plan was to make the Titan's destroy the lab while fighting him- that would be easy, but the hard part was to survive the multi-layer explosion it could cause.

Ternion traveled down the high security maze, easily electrifying everything in his path, short circuiting most of the building. He came to a halt where the voice that controlled him sounded, eyes glowing red.


Robin skidded almost past the broken wall on his steel sided shoes. Running in, he tried to figure out what this vicious villain was doing, it was supposedly only able to be controlled by Slade.

Cyborg, running in after Robin, was thinking the same thing. This was answered when Ternion's normally green eyes were glowing red, and a very familiar laughing came from somewhere in the area.

"Brother Blood! Again!" Cyborg screamed, enraged. He charged his ion cannon and shot it, nearly cutting Robin's head off. The blast flew towards Ternion, now accompanied by one of Robin's bombs.

Beast Boy ran in with a deep growl in his throat as a green and black wolf. The monster was taking over, and though he was trying to fight it, he was half-gone, but just for a little.

"It's quite easy to escape jail," Brother Blood replied, still hidden. He still had his robotic parts, and though he couldn't beat the titan's on his own, he had very sturdy backup. "It also looks like your precious Raven isn't housed here." He said in a mockingly sad tone, looking at Robin menacingly.

"Why do you want her?" Robin hissed, getting in a battle ready position. He pulled his extending rod out and pointed it viciously at Brother Blood, completely ignoring a retreating Ternion, who also wasn't noticed by the other two Titans.


This is too easy, Brother Blood's voice hissed in Ternion's mind. There must be a snag somewhere, look carefully or we're both in for it. Brother blood finished, cutting out of Ternion's mind after a far away 'Hiya' was shouted.


Robin was easily thrown to the side. He crashed into an offline computer, though the electronics were still buzzing and Robin's arms got zapped lightly. He recovered, looking for the feeling in his arms when something contacted with his back, right between his shoulder blades. He was out, at least for the moment.

Cyborg was enraged beyond any way he ever was. Two mini missiles opened from his shoulders, new installments, his ion cannon started charging- it was a personal sonic and boom for whenever Robin fell, which was almost never, but it was good to have.

Blue streaked across to one, reddish glowing target. The blue streak had two swirls of dust coloured exhaust trailing a little behind the tip. On contact, all three exploded, exposing a gaping hole in the back wall, right out to the ocean. Ternion had used a stolen ship, knowing he would have time, his fleeing back visible to Cyborg and BB.

Static crowded half of Cyborg's vision and he fell to the ground with a metallic clunk. It was Beast Boy's turn to shine now, but no, he knew it wouldn't last long.

Turning into a tiger, the green being snarled, his fangs gleaming in what little light there was. He lunged at Brother Blood and ripped part of the costume, also scratching Blood's arm in the process. It wasn't much, but sometimes little things like those can give someone a boost of confidence. Beast Boy faced Blood for a second attack.


As the battle continued, Ternion traveled easily to the tower. He stepped onto the rocky part of the island and looked around, just incase an honorary member of the Titan's was around.

The glob stepped through the front doors and was welcomed with darkness. He scanned around cautiously for the security system, it hadn't activated. He instinctively walked to where he thought the basement steps might be and was in luck. He descended into the cold room, quietly, nervously. Something appeared in the giant's hand. It was a small, metallic disc. He navigated his way through the basement and found what he was looking for.

Above him was a plastic cryotube with Robin's little song bird in suspended animation. If Ternion had a mouth, he would be grinning with utmost delight. Their plan was almost a success, not much could go wrong between the time he set the timer, and the time he started floating back to the cities mainland.

Ternion set the metallic disc against the plastic of the tube and it adhered itself, a little LED display turned on automatically. Ternion set it for about five minutes. He exited the tower and started back to the mainland.
