Bad, Raven, Bad!
Yes. I realize that last time all I did was edit an episode. And yes. I know that I am a terrible writer, and it was very difficult to even write that small little clippit that was mine. So I think I might hang up my net, so to speak. But I promised a second chapter. If there are enough positive and constructively critical reviews, I may post a third chapter.
Again, I don't own Teen Titans, or any of the characters affiliated therein, blah blah blah. I'm sure the highlight of your day was reading the disclaimer.
Info:
Setting: 3 days after Birthmark
Background: Raven is still sullen with everything occurring during Birthmark. She is seriously ticked that she could not fight Slade, and because of her own weakness, and Robin is more obsessed with Slade than ever. Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Starfire are all confused about what is going on, and semi disbelieving that Raven was able to stop time.
And now, sit back, or hunch over, (for you nerds out there ;)) and read Chapter 2, Bad, Raven, BAD!
---- -( oOo )- ----
Robin thought to himself, "Where is Raven?"
Starfire sighed, "Where is friend Raven?"
Raven walked in. "What." Starfire, ever hyper grinned and floated toward Raven, "Glorious! Friend Raven has completed slorvax and has finished her meditating!" With that, she attempted to give her a big hug, which Raven evaded easily.
"Somehow I knew I should have just ignored my name being called. I'm going back to my room. To read." She frowned and floated away. She came back. "And no. I don't want company." Starfire closed her mouth.
Robin voiced up, "Raven. We need to talk." Raven glared, "Hurry it up. I already asked what you wanted, and I want to go read." Robin seemed concerned, "I'm concerned," he said. "You haven't been out of your room since…" he trailed off. "I've been thinking. A lot." She said and huffed out of the room.
"BOOYAH!" Cyborg voiced his opinion on the match he was having on Gamestation with Beast Boy, who was also unaware of anything around them. Robin thwacked Cyborg, "Show a little compassion."
Beast Boy grinned and yelled, "YES! I WON!" Cyborg's jaw dropped, "You only won because Mr. Compassion here distracted me!" Beast Boy frowned "Fine! If I win the next round, you have to eat a tofu scrambled egg!" Cyborg grinned, "And if you don't win, you have to eat a regular fried egg." Beast Boy spazzed out, "THAT'S THE MOST REPULSIVE TING YOU EVER-" Cyborg cut him off, "Chicken." Beast Boy was enraged, "YOU'RE ON, RUSTY!"
Raven's concentration broke, and she stormed from her room. "I SAID I WAS TRYING TO REEEEEAD!" Her eyes flared white, and the Gamestation was ripped apart from her dark energy. She stood stock still, stating fixedly as a lone screw rolled on the floor. "What's happening to me...?" she ran back to her room and locked the door, covering her mouth. Beast Boy and Cyborg stood open-mouthed watching the TV. Robin was staring fixedly at Raven. Starfire was dancing about, doing nothing in particular and being completely oblivious.
Raven sat alone in her dark room, attempting to control her emotions. Robin knocked on her door. "What?" she asked sharply, opening the door a fragment. Robin said "We need to talk. In private."
After a few uncomfortable moments in her room, Raven broke the silence. "What do you want..?" she asked sharply. Robin sat down, "I don't know exactly what's going on, but I just want you to know that I'm behind you all the way. I'll always be at your side, and so will the other Titans. We're a team, and it takes a lot more than some demon king to break up the Titans. We'll make it through this."
Raven chided him, "I'm touched. Really. But he's my father. And He created me to destroy the world. And if I don't, then I have no purpose. Oh. And did I mention, you guys have to stay here forever, and I can't help you fight Slade?"
"WHAT!" Robin practically screamed. "When did this occur to you?"
"Two days ago, Raven glares. I made a deal with Slade so that he would tell me HOW I destroy the world, and why. That deal is why. I have to keep you guys in this dimension, and you can't decompose, or I wouldn't fulfill my part of the bargain. If I break any part of it, my soul would be… in a less desirable place. With my father and Slade to torment me forever. So that's what I've been thinking about. How a deal so stupid could be a problem. I figured it out. I have to keep you guys from decomposing, so I turn you into stone. But stone weathers away, so I shut down weathering. Eventually I go crazy from being alone, so I let my emotions out, and they do crazy things to the world. They basically fuse the world with my mind. Everything from my mind is released into this world, and they destroy the world. So technically the only way for me to keep the bargain is to be alone and a wreck forever."
Raven's monotone voice rings in Robin's head. "You… trusted Slade?"
He add, "And you're actually going through with his plans?"
Raven says, "Yes. And no. It's not actually his plan remember, he's just my worst human enemy, so father decided he would pay us a visit as the messenger."
Robin stares into the darkness, rubbing his temples, "I'm going to need to think about this one."
Raven cuts in, "Why? I thought about it for two days, and I don't see any way around it. Damnit. I wish I could just let anger go."
Robin stares at her. "What else do you know?"
Raven sighs, which is out of character for her, "There was a prophecy when I was born.
He stalked the night and wrought for just.
And he's the one who can adjust
The destiny of her, he must
Use his love, and banish lust,
The safety of his world at stake.
Her current self he makes a ghost
But still living she must be
Ne'er more was a loving friend than he
Cloaked in dark and mystery
Her murderer he must be."
She sighed again. "Robin… It's… you." The realization hits Robin and his eyes grow wide behind the mask, "M-me…?"
Anyway. That's chapter two. Hoped you like it. I actually think I feel a little creative energy returning. Maybe it was just a block?
sigh- I know I'll never be satisfied with my work. Review, please.
