The Newcomer: Introduction
Sorry about the updating time. Lol. Got caught up in school. Here it is, even if I only got two reviews.
Chapter-Two
Meeting
"Robin!"
A shout echoed throughout the room.
Robin stood at the doorway, drenched in rainwater. His clothes were several shades darker and his normally spiky hair was hanging down. Several strands were sticking to his forehead.
"Towel," he said.
"I'll get it!" cried Beast Boy.
"Robin! What happened?!" exclaimed Starfire.
"Did you find him?" asked Raven.
"Yeah, I found the guy. Been tracking him for weeks, you know," he said as he shivered, "He challenged me to a fight, and you know how I can't resist. I almost had him, but I bent down to catch my breath and—" He stopped short.
"And?" asked Cyborg.
"—then I caught him by surprise." He decided not to tell the others about the girl.
"Yeah! That's the way to go!" Cyborg punched his fist in the air as Raven silently grinned.
"Did you see anyone else on the streets?"
She knew he was lying.
And he knew it.
"N-no...." he stammered, "Why?"
"Oh, just wondering." She walked to the stove and started to make tea. Cyborg went to go find out what was taking Beast Boy so long. He left the room grumbling about something to do with "killing" and "towels".
"Are you uninjured?" Starfire asked, floating up and down with her hands folded.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he comforted. Raven sat down in a chair and started reading a book. She sipped her steaming tea.
"The guy wasn't much of a match anyways."
A crash came from the hallway, followed by STOMP STOMP STOMP Raven's eyes didn't wander from the pages.
"......to get a towel, you GET A TOWEL....Mess.....baseball cards!" The Titans could only hear parts of what Cyborg was yelling.
"DUDE!" Beast Boy came bolting into the room at top speed, obviously fleeing for his life. Cyborg was on his tail with his arms outstretched. He grabbed Beast Boy and tackled him to the ground. Dust flew everywhere as the two wrestled.
"Hey! You guys! Stop it!"
"Friends! We must not—" she cringed, "act in this manner!" Her eyes glowed green.
Suddenly, black energy surrounded both of the warrior's torsos and flung them to opposite walls.
"Hey! Whatcha—"
"Let me go!"
"I just cleaned this room. You are not messing this place up," explained Raven as she proceeded to turn a page of her book.
"Now," Robin said slowly, crossing his arms and sighing, "What happened?"
"He went into my room and touched my baseball cards!" exclaimed Cyborg.
"Only because I was giving one back that I borrowed!"
"You're not supposed to borrow them anyway!"
"You never let me have any fun!"
"OKAY!" shouted Robin, taking a deep breath, "Okay. Beast Boy, we gave you orders to get a towel, why did you go into his room?"
"Like I said, to return the baseball card I borrowed!"
"Don't even start to say that excuse! How do I know you weren't messing with my computer again?!!"
"What??!!" the green-boy exclaimed, "You think I would do something like that again? After what happened last time!"
"Hey, all I'm saying is that I can't trust you in my room anymore. Now I can't re-charge tonight! I have to run a virus scan on my charging system!"
Beast Boy just "hmphed" and glared at Cyborg from across the room. Raven's powers still had a death grip on their bodies.
"Beast Boy..." Robin asked, knowing he was pressing his luck.
"Don't expect me to—" Beast Boy started, but he was cut off by Cyborg.
"Well, I don't want to hear it!"
"That's enough," Raven glared, obviously enraged. She had actually put her book down and was standing up with her eyes glowing white. Her hands were clenched in fists at her side and were shining with her black aura.
"Apologize. Now." She put a particular emphasis on "now" that Robin couldn't blame her for. This was always what Raven was good at; stopping fights.
"You can't tell me what to—"
"Do it. Or I'll keep you here all night."
"He goes first!" they cried simultaneously.
Starfire giggled and clasped a hand over her mouth to stifle it.
"I shall retreat to the room of beds, for I am extremely fatigued. Happy schlorvacks!" she cried. With a waterfall of chimes and a whoosh from the door, she was gone.
Raven waited patiently and Robin stood by her side.
"I'm not kidding. I will keep you here all night if I have to."
"You can't do that!"
"Watch me." Her eyes narrowed.
"I'll give you five minutes. If both of you haven't apologized by then, then I'm leaving and won't be here to hear you do it. You will stay here."
"Alright! Alright!" Beast Boy exclaimed, dreading what would happen, "Cyborg...I-I'm sorry I went into your room."
"Yeah...and I'm sorry that I always blame you for everything, even though you usually always do it."
"His doesn't count!"
"Does too!"
"Does not!
"Does too!"
"Does not!"
"Shut up! Keep going and I'll throw you against the wall again!"
"Sorry Raven."
"Night."
"Night," said the two video-game worshippers as they retreated to their bedrooms, finally being released by her aura.
Robin and Raven were left in the room. There was a loud silence.
"Nice work," Robin said.
"Thanks. You're still wet."
"I know," said the Boy Wonder as he shivered.
"Hold on," she said, "This might feel kind of funny."
She went and stood behind him. Her hands found their way on top of his head, against the cold, jet-black hair.
"Azarath....Metrion...Zinthos."
Robin immediately felt it. It was like a hot breeze was being blown directly from on top of him. Or more like a very powerful hair-drier that was being forced onto his head. The coldness left him. After a few minutes, and more chants from Raven, he felt all the moisture leave his body. The air went away. He was dry.
"Wow..."
"What?" Raven asked as she turned back from leaving the room.
"That was awesome."
"Thanks."
"Night."
"Night."
Titan009: Okay, I know it's been a while since I've updated this story. And I'm really sorry. There will be more on the girl later. I swear. I just had to get this chapter up because I am feeling really guilty about it. So TA DA! Please review! And thank you all for reviewing for the first chapter. I'm glad you liked it.
