I know that it's been ages, but...
Gah! The new ff.net whatzit keeps deleatin my asterixis! So I'll use brackets instead, 'K?
Cy: She might not make it. (his eyes are down shadowed)
Raven: Oh no...
BB: Who might not make it? What are you talking about? What happened?
Cy: The battle. (takes deep breath) After you got tapped Ponytail Dude used your power to attack Star, and sucked her dry. She's in the hospital now. Robin's with her. (looks sideways at Raven) We need all of us to fight Granite, but with one or other of us out of action...
BB: Ravens powers came back this morning.
Cy: That's good. Can you shift?
BB: Huh?
Raven: Hey genius, you got tapped as well. Can you use your power?
BB: Uh... (is in shock from Raven being mean) I don't, that is to say, I haven't tried yet.
Cy: So what are you waiting for?
BB: (is taken aback) Sorry. (concentrates, then looks up in confusion) Hey! What gives?
Raven: That's a 'no' then. (rolls eyes)
Cy: 2 down, 3 left.
Raven: (shakes head) Robin won't leave Star. It's just me and you.
BB: (feels left out) Sorry.
Cy: (suddenly angry) You should be! If you hadn't just charged without thinking, he wouldn't have got Star! Why didn't you just use your head for once!
BB: (surprised and hurt) I...
(The Titan alarm goes off)
Raven: Lets just hope that it isn't Granite (glares at BB) Else we're finished.
BB: ...
Cy: Don't stand there, C'mon!
(As the giant arch begins to fall, a trail of black energy surrounds it, holding it up while the people underneath flee)
Raven: Heavy... Can't hold it!
Cy: Are they all out?
BB's inner voice: Rei isn't properly healed yet, this is so my fault! If Star were here, she'd be taking some of the weight...
Cy: BB, pay attention!
BB: (snaps up) Huh?
Raven: No more... Can't keep it... (some boulders drop, she screams) Are they out!
Cy: I think so!
(the remaining rocks that made up the arch fall, as does Raven. Cy catches her, she takes deep breaths, but her power floods outwards, killing a butterfly that got too close)
BB: Rei? You okay?
Raven: (takes another breath, trying to rein in her power) Why did the arch fall?
Random Onlooker: There was an Earth-quake!
Cy: We don't get earthquakes in Jump City...
BB: Guess we do now. (He is still at a loss from Ravens sudden coldness)
Cy: (checks his sensors) And no aftershock either... This is weird, the earth seems normal...
(Cut to a bush, where you can see a girl, hiding in silhouette)
Girl: (cringes at their conversation) Yeah... Normal. As normal as it can get, when I'm around. There'll be a lot more earthquakes now... Hnm. Or should I say... TerraQuakes?
(cut back to the TT)
Raven: (casts out her senses) I sense some kind of energy that was unleashed here earlier.
BB: (decides to snub her like she has him) You would. (attempts to storm past her, but trips over a tree-root) Hey, what's this? (picks up a blue hair clip) Someone must have lost it...
A/N: You know what's happening, right? I promise that I haven't changed allegiances, this will stay R/BB, but you need to watch Betrayal before you watch Aftershock, so sorry 'bout that. I am on Net Restriction, but I'll type up and post as I can (school has net access, heh).
