Disclaimer: I do NOT own Teen Titans. Need I repeat that?
A/N: THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS! Teeheehee, I feel so excited! Hopefully I'll get a hundred before this ends...yeah? Here are some compliments to some of the reviews (not all need to be answered, lol):
Hoshi-ko88: Everyone who reviews makes me happy! I'm glad you liked the twist and the argument!
Rose: Nah, don't worry about Robin doing anything bad. ;) I'm not going to kill anyone...yet...you're going to have to wait until the sequel for that! Hah, I'm glad you liked the Raven / Robin screaming thing...pure entertainment! Oh, hah, what a funny story (honey-bunny)! I might use that sometime.
Yeliak: I'm glad you liked the chapter! You did mean lull, haha, I've never heard of it before...it's true when they say you learn something new everyday! I learned a new word!
Yournotthebossofme: I like your name! LOL...anyway, you like my story? Yay! Actually, it's been, like, twelve days since I updated this, but you were close. I have too much time on my hands! I work on this story at home, and then the sequel at school (during (sometimes) English, French, and biology)...the first chapter is so long, wah. I'm updating, I promise!
Chapter Twelve: It's Not All Right
"...and then everything went black, I woke up, and told Robin I knew where Starfire was, and then...you all know the rest of it."
Beast Boy and Cyborg stared at Raven, their mouths wide open.
"So, she's ten years into the future?" Cyborg asked.
Raven nodded.
"And you're "future self" came to you in a dream telling you to go and find her?" Beast Boy asked.
Raven nodded again.
"And we're supposed to believe this?" Robin asked. "For all we know, Raven could be lying!"
"Man, do you honestly think she would lie about something like this?" Cyborg asked.
"Yeah, dude, she's the psychic one here, remember?" Beast Boy asked.
Robin sighed and turned to Raven. "I'm sorry I snapped like that, it's just..." He paused. "Do you even know how to get her back?"
"It'll be tricky," Raven told him. "But I'll be able to do it."
"So, are you going to start finding her now or what?" Cyborg asked.
"I need to meditate first before I can tell you all anything," Raven told them, walking off to her bedroom. Once she got there, she sat back down on her bed, closing her eyes.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos...Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos..."
After endless minutes of chanting those same words, she finally got a connection with her older self.
Can you get her to use her magic now? she telepathically asked.
Um...how about in an hour?
Why then?
I live in Jump City. Starfire is staying in Gotham City. It takes a bit of time to get from here to there and back, you know.
...Okay...can you tell me when you get her? Or, better yet, why don't you just stay in Gotham. Maybe we can get her back quicker.
Okay. I'll talk to you soon.
Raven slowly opened her eyes and landed softly on her bed. She then laid back on her bed, looking up at the ceiling.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Who is it?" she called out.
"Beast Boy."
She quietly groaned, getting up and walking to her door. She opened it up enough to where she could see him. "Yes?"
"I guess nothing happened yet, huh?" the changeling asked.
"I have to wait a little while before anything can really happen," she firmly told him.
He nodded. "So, uh, wanna join the rest of us for, err, tea or breakfast or whatever?"
Raven remained silent for a moment. "Why not," she muttered, stepping out of her room and following Beast Boy. Upon entering the elevator, she pulled her hood over her head.
Seconds passed by before Beast Boy said, "You know, Rae, you look kinda cute with your hood down."
A light blush formed on her cheeks. "Yeah?"
"Yup."
Thank God! Raven thought as the elevator doors opened. She stepped out of the elevator and into the kitchen.
"Nothing, huh?" Robin asked as she quickly filled her kettle with water and put it on the stove.
She looked at him and shook her head. "Not yet."
"I knew it was impossible," Robin muttered under his breath.
"So, you're going to give up after thirty minutes?" she asked, slowly beginning to anger. "Oh, you're just a high hoper, aren't you?"
"Speak for yourself," he muttered.
"Excuse me?" she asked. "I couldn't hear you through your constant muttering."
"Will you two chill?" Cyborg asked, walking into the kitchen.
Raven then took the screaming kettle off the stove and poured some water into a mug. "Nothing happens with the snap of a finger," she explained. "Everything takes time."
"Ain't that the truth," the half-man said, walking over to the fridge and grabbing a sausage biscuit.
"At least someone is agreeing with me," she muttered, sitting down at the counter and sipping her tea.
"Raven..." Robin started, but paused.
"Yes?"
I'm ready for ya.
"Hey, guys, I'll be back later," she quickly said, getting up and fleeing to her room. Once she got there, she sat down on her bed, crossing her legs. Yes?
I've got her with me. Do you want to start?
Yes.
She closed her eyes and started to recite her chant. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos...Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos...Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos..."
After forty-five minutes of chanting, she still couldn't get a connection with Starfire.
"Hey Rae!"
Raven then fell on her bed. "What!" she called irritably.
Right then, her door opened, revealing Beast Boy. He walked uninvitingly over to her. "You seem...busy."
"You interrupted my train of though," she told him, sitting up and looking at him.
He then sat down, staring straight ahead.
"Uh, Beast Boy, you're sitting on my bed...in my room..." she muttered, eyeing him suspiciously.
"I know," he said, turning to her and grinning. "And, surprisingly, you haven't killed me yet."
Raven remained silent. He's right, she thought to herself, I haven't hurt him or blown anything up yet...
"I guess I should leave then, huh?" he asked, slightly rejected.
"No," she suddenly said, surprising herself.
"No?"
"Y-you can stay here...if you want..." she muttered.
"OH! Ravie's got some hidden feeling's for me, huh?" he teased, nudging her side.
She sighed, closing her eyes and crossing her legs. "You're pushing me to the edge, you know that?"
"Sure do."
"Just don't bother me. I mean it. I will seriously hurt you if you bother me again," she warned him.
"Yeah, yeah, I hear ya loud and clear."
She sighed, floating above her head. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos..."
She soon entered a time tunnel. She couldn't see much; everything that was around her was in a blur. She could see that the Titans (the four remaining ones, anyway) had all grown up. She could easily see Cyborg fixing cars, Robin kissing some blonde girl, and her...and Beast Boy...together?
OH GOD! She thought to herself as she continued down the tunnel. Soon, though, she came to a halt.
"Where am I?" she asked herself. She then realized that she was there as her actual self...or so she thought, anyway.
"Goody," she sarcastically muttered. "Just what I need." She looked around, fully visualizing her surroundings. It was in the nighttime, she was outside, and it was slightly warm. After taking a double-check, she noticed that was on Central Street, located in the middle of Jump City.
"Hm, I must be in the future...or a vision...maybe a hallucination?"
"AAAHHHHH!"
"Oh, I had to say something!" she said as she ran down the street towards the source. She stopped after running twenty feet, which happened to be an intersection. She tried listening for other sounds, but couldn't hear anything.
"Population: zero," she muttered. "No people, no cars, but everyone's lights are on."
Within seconds, the scream could be heard again. "Starfire?" she whispered, realizing that the scream did come from the Tameranian alien.
"Oh, no you don't," a second voice said. The voice sounded like a guys voice, and it didn't found all that friendly.
She quietly continued down the street, not wanting anyone to notice her. After walking about thirty seconds, she noticed noises coming from an alley that stood right in front of her.
"Please, do not come any closer," Starfire begged.
"Aw, is the little girl afraid?" the guy asked.
"Oh, no," Raven whispered, leaning over and looking into the alley. She saw Starfire, who was wearing a jean skirt, a red t-shirt, and some sneakers, being touched by the greasy, built man.
"Will you please not touch me?" she asked.
"I'm not hurting you, am I?" the guy asked, backing Starfire into a wall.
"You touching me...it does not feel right," she told him.
"Well, maybe this will help," he said as he pressed his lips against hers.
"That's it!" Raven said. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!"
Nothing happened. "This isn't good," she muttered. She then tried touching the building she stood next to, but her hand went right through it. "I'm in a vision..." she gasped. "This will come true!"
"Please, stop," Starfire said as the guy started messaging her breasts and kissing her neck.
"Mm, can't..." the guy muttered. "You taste and feel so good..." He then placed his hands under her shirt and started to pull it up.
"Please stop," she said, her voice firmer. "I do not wish for this to continue."
"Shut the hell up and lay down," he grunted, pushing her down to the ground. He bent down and pulled off her skirt and shirt, leaving her in her bra and underwear.
"You're perfect, hot stuff," he murmured, placing his hands on her shoulders. He then slowly moved his hands over her chest, down her stomach, and stopped at her thighs. "This will be fun," he murmured, slowly pulling down his pants.
"Please do not go any further!" she begged.
"Think, think, think," Raven muttered to herself. She closed her eyes and heard a menacing laugh before a cry.
Although she could no longer open her eyes, she could hear the alien girls' muffled cries. "I have to stop this..." Within seconds, a gust of wind surrounding her, and, without knowing how, she landed on the ground. A hurting, burning sensation ran through her lower, private area.
"Oh, you feel so good," the guy muttered, now closer to her. He then started laughing. "In fifteen minutes, which is at Midnight, on the day of September 23, the rein of me shall continue!"
"NO!" she screamed, now realizing that she was (somehow) in Starfire's body, feeling what she felt (in the vision, anyway).
"Raven! Raven! Wake up!"
"No...no...!" Another high-pitched scream escaped her mouth.
"Please, Rae, what's going on in there?"
Raven then quickly shot up. Cold sweat was dripping down her face as she looked around the room, which surprisingly wasn't her room. "Where am I?" she asked, not knowing anyone else was in the room.
"The medical ward."
She jumped and looked beside her. She found Beast Boy sitting in a chair, a look of pure concern on his face. "What're you doing in here?"
"Well...you were meditating for about, oh, half an hour, before you, like, fell on your bed. I went along with it for about five minutes until you started twitching and tossing around...yeah, so I brought you here, and you started tossing and turning around, and then you just started screaming, and then you woke up," he told her.
She stared at him. "I need you to get Cyborg and Robin. Tell them I need to speak to them; it's really important...it's about Starfire."
He nodded and walked out of the room.
She sighed and put her head in her hands, shaking her head. She could feel her heart beating quickly. Her chest was rapidly moving up and down. She took a few deep breaths before the door opened.
"Did you find her?" Robin asked, running over to her.
"She's going to get raped if we don't help her."
A/N: ...don't hurt me! (Hides from the tomatoes being thrown.) I know this probably isn't...what people expected, but, hey, it's drama! And Teen Titans is only filled with drama when that music comes on. Come on, Brother Blood would have been BORING without that music coming on during his scenes! (I love that music, by the way.)
Oh, guess what everyone? Well, I have two things. FIRST! "TROQ" is premiering on Monday, May 9th, at 6.30 PM EST. YAY! "The Prophecy" is scheduled to air Saturday, June 4th (one year after Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban came out) at 8.00 PM EST. YAY! I dunno about episodes after that, sorry.
ALSO...this is what a lot of people have been waiting for...or me, anyway...TEEN TITANS IS GOING TO BE RELEASED ON ALL VIDEOGAME FORMATS! (Except PSP and DS.) The GBA version is supposed to be released at the end of this year, and the PS2, Xbox, GC, and PC versions are supposed to be released next year.
Man, I cannot wait! I'll probably buy the GBA version if it comes out before the PS2 version. (I need to find my GBA, hah!) I'll definitely buy the PS2 version...heh.
I also have news on the TT TCG card decks, but I dunno if ya'll wanna hear about that. But if you do, PLEASE SAY SO IN THE REVIEW! Later ya'll!
