Author Note: So sorry that I took so long to update!!! 3 weeks of net restriction… Stupid telephone bill!
*The room with the clock of eternity. Stealing it is not Warp, but another familiar someone*
PD: The clock of Eternity… *smirks* An asset to my plan. Not necessary, but useful. *Hears a noise on the roof* And ditto the same for Starbolts. *He steps to the side, just as an edged weapon slices the air where his shoulder had been a moment before* Titans, really. Don't you know how strong Ravens psychic vision was? Literally, she could see behind her. *smirks* And now she can't, I can.
BB: (to Raven): You could see behind you? *Morphs eyes in the back of his head* Like this?
Raven: Not quite.
Robin: Titans, Go!
*They attack in classic formation. Star fires, Robin leaps and runs, BB turns into a goat ready to headbutt, Cy blasts. Raven remembers her lack of powers whilst trying to levitate*
Raven: This… Could be a problem. *She attempts to focus energy into the palms of her hands* Definitely a problem.
*PonyTail Dude blocks the Starbolts and Cys beam using Ravens power, then, using the same, takes Robins bo-staff, slapping him past as he attacks. Robin tumbles into a heap before getting up, staggering and holding his head*
Robin: Wha…
*BB puts on the goaty brakes when he sees this, understanding, and skids into PonyTail Dude, who reaches down and pulls a green strand of energy out of BB, until he can't move. Then PDs hands glow pink, and the glow spreads to BB. Raven, horrified, slams into PD with a rugby tackle*
Raven: What did you do? *Is out of breath*
*As PD goes to tap her power, Star fires in some Starbolts, Cy lasers him. PD blocks the bolts but is hit by Cy. He picks himself up, then stands tall*
PD: Come now. Why do we fight? There's no point, really. You'd lose!
*He turns into a peregrine falcon and flies at Star, who isn't quick enough to react. PD switches back to himself at the last moment and grabs her arm on impact. She lets out a cry, then falls. PD keeps her arm as he absorbs her energy, oblivious to Cys shooting and Robins shouting because of the telekinetic bubble shielding him. As her skin begins to wrinkle, he drops Starfire, and she is caught by Cyborg*
PD: Really, children. You should know better. And Raven? Your… sweetheart is going through a few rough moments in a fictitious past. I re-visited Jinx last night. Toodles! *He floats for a moment* Oh, and by the way, as you're defeated… The name's Granite. *He fires a Starbolt through the roof, and follows the light*
Robin: (shakily) After him…
Cy: Not happening. He flew, and with BB and the girls out of action… *looks to where Raven is cradling BB in her lap* An' we need to count our hurts and regroup. This ain't good, Robin.
Raven: We can't beat him…
Robin: *smiles a sad smile* Sure we can.
Raven: But not as we are.
Cy: He can't tap my energy! *grins and taps his chest* That's one thing we got!
*Robin smiles confidently and nods*
Raven: He can tap the rest of us. We need… *she looks utterly defeated* Help. Maybe Jinx…
Cy: As if she'd help us!
Robin: Ever heard the saying 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'? It's worth a try.
Cy: *The other two gain calm insanity, gets mad* But on the same logic, Ponytail Dude and Jinx could team up!
Raven: *Stands up* I know that I'm not usually the optimistic one, but the whole situation could look better in the morning. *Hugs Beast Boy to her* At least it couldn't get any worse.
R&R, TBC…
A/N: When you review, could you tell me where you think this is going? Also, the next… 9 chappies are practically in stone, but I can rewrite if I get a good idea from a 'veiw.
