Well, I now know that I need a new story to write. This is my third TT story. Right now, I'm waiting to watch TT, but it's not on for another two hours. So, I decided to would write this story.
To let you know, this is based on the Agatha Christie book And Then There Were None or the movie Ten Little Indians. Good book, even better movie. Anyway here it is.
They were said to have been the greatest heroes ever. They had been through their thought spots and hard times, but they managed to come through together. That was, of course, until it happened.
It happened 5 years ago. Their day had started out just like all the other ones. But, the leader then received an alert saying that Slade had come back. Knowing that it was his duty as the leader to stop him, he called to his teammates and friends, and sent them out immediately. But little did they know that when they returned to the tower that night, their lives would have been totally changed.
Slade had been hunted for for the earlier years of their lives. They thought he had been killed in a volcanic explosion, until he showed up that day. (This has nothing to do with the series, so don't tell me I'm wrong!)
He ran, chased by all five of them until they surrounded him. They ended up in an abandoned factory. When they walked in, they realized that this was the place; the place where they thought he had died, and the place where a former friend's grave lay. But today, Slade planned to add to how many lay there.
They fought hard, and they thought they would prevail. But, the tables turned when Slade threw a disk onto the wall, and ran out as fast as possible. It attached to the wall, and it began to smoke tremendously.
The walls began to shake violently. The ceiling collapsed in on them as the walls crumbled. When the authorities pulled up later, all were in bad shape. But 2 of them were unaccounted for. They had to dig for them. The titans peered down into the rubble as their friends were pulled out looking lifeless. The thing they didn't see was that the only thing that was still standing was the grave.
Later as they arrived at the hospital, a young man approached them. They were told the female would manage to pull through, but the boy had been doomed from the start. The titan's wouldn't believe. In fact, they didn't. They stayed in shock until the funeral. When they were there, it finally hit them. The news got through…the Victor Stone was dead. (Yes, I know I shouldn't have killed him, but he just didn't fit into the story. Sorry!)

Richard Greyson answered his phone. "Hello? Yes this is Mr. Greyson. Of course. Where? Okay. Yes. Thank you," he said before he hung up the phone.
He placed his hand behind his neck. "A masquerade ball at Wayne Corporations, huh? Why the heck not?" he said. At least he wouldn't have to deal with Nightwing problems for a little while. He sighed, and then began to worry about what he was going to wear.
That night, he stepped out of the cab. The place was pretty empty compared to the other parties the Wayne house had had. He couldn't believe what he was wearing. He wore a white silk shirt, with funky red bloomers, white tights, and red pointy slippers. The crown on his head was too small. He wore a red velvet costume mask similar to Nightwing's over his eyes. He looked like some weird boy going trick-or-treating as a prince.
He walked in, and saw about 10 or so people roaming around. The bodyguard locked the door behind him. "Richard?" someone said from behind him. He turned and saw his ex-beau, Kori Anders. She was dressed like a butterfly, with a black leotard on, fake wings, a black skirt, and a masquerade feathery mask. It looked horrible on her orangey skin.
"Kori? How are you? I haven't seen you in such a long time." Richard said hugging her.
She smiled. "Richard, I want to show you something," she said as she held up her hand. On it was a 10 karat diamond wedding ring. "I got married!" she squealed happily.
"To who?" Richard asked, surprised, happy, and jealous at the same time.
A young man walked up dressed as a horse. By the red hair, Richard saw it was Kyle. (I don't know Speedy's true name, so I made one up. But it's Speedy Star married.) He placed his arm out for Richard to shake it. Richard shook it strongly, but as he was about to say something, Kyle led Kori away.
Richard then turned angrily, and crashed into someone who wasn't looking as they walked. When he got up and offered to help her up, his breath caught in his throat. She was beautiful. She wore an indigo dress with a full skirt, and large feathers on her shoulders. She had a purple mask on over her purple eyes. Her dark hair rested gracefully on her shoulders. He helped her up. When he was about to say something, she walked away quickly.
He quickly followed her. He needed to know who she was. He grabbed her shoulder. "Wait," he said softly.
She turned. She had a distressed look on her face. "What?" she sad inaudibly.
"Please, tell me your name," Richard said in a begging tone.
"I can't Robin," she said before she quickly covered her mouth and ran off.
He followed exasperated. How did she know who he was, or who he was when he was a teenager? He ran after her.
"How? How do you know who I am? And who are you?" he said angrily.
"You really don't know who I am, do you?" she said looking up into his eyes. He slowly shook his head. Reaching toward her face, she gradually peeled the mask off, revealing a face Richard hadn't seen in five years.
"Raven?" he said breathlessly. She nodded, not making eye contact with him. He saw two small tears make tracks down her face.
He lifted her face. "What happened to you after…you know?" he said.
She took a deep breath. "I left town, and went to Azerath. I met with my old mentors, and they helped me to get rid of my emotion problem, because at that point, I couldn't stop blowing things up. I then came back, and changed my name. I decided it would be better if I chose an anagram of Raven Roth, so I'm now Thea Vrorn. Now, if you'll excuse me…" she said before she turned. But Richard still could tell that she was still upset.
He grabbed her shoulder again. "Look, I know that you had a really hard time at that point, but maybe you'd feel better if you talked about it?" he said, willing to listen. She looked at him like he was crazy, then nodded.
They walked over to a quiet part in the library, and both sat down. "I really don't remember everything. I remember…we were trying to catch Slade. He threw that disk thing onto the wall. The building started to blow up. And we were getting buried. Star flew, Beast Boy changed, and I was about to phase through the ground…when I saw you on the ground under one of the beams struggling. I called star down after I got it off you, and she grabbed you because you were really out of it. I was then hit it the temple with a large rock. I fell to the ground, and even though I tried to get up, I felt myself drifting into unconsciousness. The last thing I heard was-"
"Your name. I remember. I was the one shouting it. I just couldn't believe that you were the one who saved me, and then you ended up hurt. You were in ICU for 6weeks because of that." Richard said thoughtfully.
Thea stood up. "But that's no the worst part. The…the only reason why he died was because he was trying to save me. He tried to pick me up off the ground before he was buried. BECAUSE OF ME!" she said as she took books and started throwing them off the shelves.
Richard jumped off the couch, and grabbed her as she began to sob. He wrapped his arms around her. Once she stopped, he let go of her. "It's not your fault. You can't blame yourself. He did it…because he wanted to. And I bet that he would have done it if it was any of us; if it was me, or Kori, or Gar. It had nothing to do with you," Richard said.
Thea nodded. "Thank you," she said very faintly. He smiled, but they both stopped as a loud gunshot, and a scream rang throughout the entire building.
Well, that's it for the first chapter. I think I'll update after I update my three other stories unless I get an idea quickly.
OH MY GOD! Have you seen the new episode of TT? It is the best one they have ever come up with. The best part about it is that it is mostly a Raven Robin episode. He's the only one she decided to wake from when she stopped time. And then, after Slade showed her what it was going to be like when she destroyed the world, she fell from the building. Who would save her but none other than Robin? She looked so pretty though, when the arms, and middle section of her leotard burned, and her hair grew. I know it's kind of strange and out of the ordinary, but it was really neat. Ok g2g BYE!
