Aw, thank you so much for the reviews, Rika and Digi. It may sound sappy, but thanks for the encouragement. I'll work on Raven's personality. I'll try to, at least.
Chapter 3
"Tell me where it is!"
"I sw-swear I don't know! I just work here part time, ma'am, honest! They don't tell me nothing, they just said to stand here and n-not let anybody inside! Eh— y-you're ch-choking me!"
"Let go of him!" Two of Robin's birderangs flew towards a figure in a black cloak that had some poor college kid security guard in a chokehold. The figure hurled the security guard down into the floor and jumped up into a split and avoiding the birderangs.
The figure jumped forward into a handspring and propelled herself through the air and onto a large pile of metal storage boxes. There was a fierce cry that cut through the air as a peregrine falcon swooped down at the figure. The falcon grabbed hold of the figure's cloak and flew up, the fabric starting to rip.
"Stupid bird! Let go of my hood!" The figure held her arms up and a small blue orb appeared there. The figure hurled the orb up into the falcon. Caught off guard, the falcon screeched as several hundred jolts of electricity flew threw his body. The falcon changed back into Beast Boy and landed on the ground.
The figure ran across the top of the boxes. Robin suddenly jumped up in front of them, pulling out his staff. He spun it around and held it out, falling back into a defensive position. "Who are you, and what do you want?"
The figure growled and took a few steps backwards. "I want you to move. You're in my way." The figure then took a running leap at Robin. Robin sidestepped them and swung his staff up towards their gut. The figure fell back, avoiding Robin's staff, and jumped backwards off of the boxes.
A glowing black pole flew out from nowhere and conked the figure in the head, knocking them off balance as they landed on the ground and fell back onto her bottom. Raven materialized out of the shadows. "If you give up now, we won't hurt you."
The figure yelled in a fit of rage and lunged forward at Raven, forming two more blue orbs and hurling them at Raven. Raven formed a force field around herself and the orbs bounced off. The figure took off running across the room with Raven in hot pursuit.
Beast Boy sat up from the ground. "Oh man, what happened? AAH!" He curled up into a ball to avoid being trampled by the figure and Raven. He got back up. "What's going on!"
Robin jumped down and landed a few inches away from Beast Boy. "Beast Boy, get up and follow them!" He ran after Raven and the mysterious figure.
Beast Boy grumbles. "I knew that…" He runs after Robin.
Raven corners the figure in a small room. Using her magic, she shuts the door behind her and lands on the floor. "Just give up. There's no way out of here, and you aren't getting past me."
The figure looked around frantically. "Oh yeah? That's what you think!" The figure leapt backwards and went right through the wall. Raven ran after her, going right through the wall as if it wasn't even there.
Raven stopped as she went through the wall. She looked ahead at a small counter. There was a glass case over it, which was currently being lifted up by the figure. Under the glass case was a small blue crystalized stone. Raven gasped, realizing what it was. She ran forward, trying to grab the stone before the figure did. "No! Don't!"
Robin pounded at the door. It had locked itself when Raven had shut it, and there seemed to be no way of breaking it down. "Raven! Raven! Are you in there! Raven!"
Beast Boy spotted a small object sticking out of the wall. It looked like a fancy and expensive calculator. "Hey, Robin, check this out." He pressed a few buttons and the word "Error!" flashed across the screen.
Robin looked at it. "That must be some sort of locking system. Maybe Cyborg would know how to—"
The ground shook and knocked both Beast Boy and Robin to the floor. As soon as it started, it ended. Robin and Beast Boy sat there, looking a little confused.
Beast Boy blinked. "What was that?"
Robin stood up. "I don't know, but I don't like it. Raven!" He started to pound on the door again. "Raven!"
Cliff hangers are so evil, aren't they? Sorry to leave everyone hanging like this. I'd love to hear your ideas on what you think is going to happen.
