TEEN TITANS: Psychic Shock
Shockwave was flipping TV channels. "Crud, crap, bleh." Shockwave said, "Why is nothing on?" Beast-Boy walked in. "Sup dude?" Beast-Boy asked. Shockwave groaned at got up. He went over to the fridge. "Is there anything in here that's dead?" Shockwave asked. "Try to the left; I think there's some soda left." Beast-Boy told him. Shockwave picked it up and opened it. "Thank the lord, something from this century." Shockwave said and walked back to the couch. Cyborg poked his head in. "Yo, Shockwave." Cyborg yelled, "Ready?" Shockwave and Beast-Boy turned around. "Yeah." Shockwave replied. He got up and followed Cyborg.
"Ok, so how'd you want me to do this?" Cyborg asked. "Just lay down on your stomach." Shockwave said. Cyborg laid down on his bed. Shockwave opened his back and pulled some scrap metal towards him. "Ok hear we go." Shockwave announced. He hacked away for a good half hour. Finally, it was done. "Ok Cy, I think that should do it." Shockwave told him, "You know what to do; I'll give ya the signal." Cyborg ran off.
Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast-Boy and Terra were talking in the living room. "Guys! You gotta come see this!" Shockwave said. "What's wrong?" Robin asked. Shockwave sighed. "Just c'mon." Shockwave ran outside. The Titans followed him all the way out to the training field. "Ok, so what's so important?" Raven asked. "Hold on." Shockwave replied. He stuck his hand up and fired a lightning blast off. It drizzled out in a couple seconds. After it drizzled out, something exploded from the top of Titan's Tower. Something way flying at them. "Awesome!" Beast-Boy exclaimed. Cyborg was speeding towards them. He did a 360 degrees circle and landed. "Wow! Cyborg can fly now!" Starfire yelled. "Yep. Aerodynamic wings and a jet fueler that I havta change every 3 years." Cyborg explained. Everyone was wowed by Cyborg's up-grade. Cyborg grabbed Shockwave's head and gave him a noogie. "Thanks a lot Shockwave." "Yeah, no prob." Shockwave said, "But as much as I love the smell of motor oil, could you let go of my head?" Cyborg laughed and let go. The Titans went back into the tower.
Later…
Terra and Starfire were laughing about girl stuff. Raven peered into the living room. The boy's were playing video games and thee other two were talking. "Um, Starfire, Terra, could you come to my room?" Raven asked. Starfire and Terra looked up. "Yeah sure, Ra" Terra said. The two girls got up and followed Raven. Once they got to the room, they all sat down. "What is troubling you?" Starfire asked. "Ok." Raven replied. "You know how if I feel any real strong emotions, my powers go outta whack?" Terra and Starfire both nodded. "Well I'm afraid that they're going too soon." Terra looked confused. "And why would you think this?" Raven sighed. "It's Shockwave…" Terra and Starfire looked at each other. "AWWWWWWWWWWWWW" they both yelled together. Starfire flew over and hugged Raven tightly. "There is nothing wrong with you Raven." Starfire said, "You are just in love!" Raven pushed Starfire off her. "That's the point!" Raven yelled, "I'm afraid if I feel strong emotions towards him, my powers will go bezerk on me." Terra sighed and put her arm around Raven. "Raven, love is a good emotion so I highly doubt it would affect your powers at all." Raven sighed. "I guess your right."
Robin and Cyborg were playing cards. "Ha! 3 aces! I win!" Robin yelled. Cyborg checked. "Urg! How do you keep winning?" Cyborg asked. Robin laughed and leaned back in his chair. Cyborg smirked and pounded the table. The sound startled Robin and he fell backwards and hit his head on the ground. Cyborg started laughing really hard. Shockwave came in and looked confused. He decided not to ask. Beast-Boy was sitting upside down on a chair, reading a comic book. "Beast-Boy, can I talk to you for a second?" Shockwave asked. Beast-Boy looked up. "Sure dude." He got upside right and they went up to the roof. They sat down. "So, what's up?" Beast-Boy asked. Shockwave asked.
"Terra knows you like her right?" Shockwave asked. Beast-Boy laughed. "I think I make it a little obvious." Shockwave agreed. "That's why I came to you." Shockwave began, "'Cause I like this girl but don't know how to tell her." "Anyone I know?" Beast-Boy asked. There was a pause. "Yeah, it's…"Shockwave said,"Raven." Beast-Boy looked a little confused. "No offense but how could you like Raven?" Beast-Boy asked. Shockwave sighed again. "There's just something about her that makes me feel all warm and stuff, you know." Beast-Boy nodded. "I know what'cha mean. I feel the same way with Terra." Shockwave and Beast-Boy stared off into the sun. "So how should I tell her?" Beast-Boy thought (that's a first). "Why not take her on a date?" he suggested. Shockwave thought about it. "Not a bad idea BB, thanks!" Shockwave got up and ran back inside.
Terra and Starfire had just left the room when Shockwave came walking down the hallway. He was about to knock but then held back. "I can do this." Shockwave thought to himself. Finally, he knocked on Raven's door. Raven cracked the door open a little, saw Shockwave and opened it the rest of the way. She blushed. "Um, Hi Raven." Shockwave stuttered, "I was just wondering if um." Shockwave was blanking out. "C'mon stupid! Think of something!" Shockwave thought. Raven smirked. "I'd love to." She told him. "Oh ok um, I'll c'ya later then." Shockwave walked back down the hallway. "Well that went well." Shockwave said to himself. Raven watched him disappear. She smiled and went back into her room.
Shockwave ran into the living room, found Beast-Boy and pulled him aside. "So?" Beast-Boy asked. "It went well." Shockwave replied, "Though I'm a little fuzzy on what to do." Beast-Boy sighed, "You have no idea what you're doing, do you?" Shockwave paused and thought. "No." he said finally. "Didn't think so." Beast-Boy said, "Ok, what you do is just go to a movie or dinner or whatever it is girls like to do on dates." Shockwave was writing this all down on a sticky note. "Ok, so dinner, movie, gotcha." He walked back to his room to plan. "He's a very strange kid." Beast-Boy said as Shockwave walked off.
That Night…
It was about 8. Shockwave was right outside Raven's door, trying to act cool. Raven was inside her room, brushing her hair. She got up and walked over to the door. Raven was well aware that Shockwave was standing outside by the way he was talking to himself. "I don't know why he needs to be so nervous." Raven thought. She opened the door to find Shockwave standing there. "Ready to go?" Shockwave asked. Raven nodded and they set off. "So what were you planning for tonight?" Raven asked. Shockwave looked at his notes again, trying to not let raven see what he was doing. But, she being Raven and him being the skittish Shockwave, it was obvious what he was doing. She thought I was kind of amusing. "Maybe we could go see a um." Shockwave said, forgetting what he was going to say. "Movie?" Raven laughed, finishing his sentence. "Yeah." Shockwave replied. "Sounds fun." Raven said.
They sat down and watched the movie. Shockwave kept glancing over at Raven periodically. He wasn't so sure if this was such a good idea anymore. Shockwave knew he liked Raven a lot but it was really hard to keep his cool around her. He put his hand on the armrest but forgot Raven's hand was already there. He touched her hand and immediately pulled back. The both looked at each other and blushed. Raven took his hand and put it on hers and smiled at him. Shockwave's face was a little redder than it usually was. But after a minute, he calmed down. "Ok, its obvious Raven likes me back so why should I be so worried?" he thought. The two kept clanking at the other e very so often. Shockwave realized this and decided it was time to try something. He leaned over towards Raven. She did the same thing. They were leaning in for a kiss. Just then, something punched through the screen and they both pulled back. It looked like a giant metal arm. The creature came all the way through. Raven and Shockwave both stood up and saw this thing that looked like an old Titans nemesis, Atlas but he was red and black instead of red and yellow.
People were running away except for the two Titans. "Let's go Raven." Shockwave said, running at the giant metal monster. Raven didn't hesitate and followed. The creature slammed the ground and the two stopped. "Maxima must destroy Titans!" the thing yelled. Its fists shot out and towards the Titans. They both got out of the way then rushed back at him. Shockwave sent a wave of electricity flying at Maxima while Raven held him down with her power. It seemed to have little effect. Raven put a bind on Maxima and he was stuck. But seconds later, he broke out.
"This isn't working!" Raven shouted. Shockwave didn't reply but he agreed. Then Shockwave's mind sparked. "Raven! I have an idea!" Shockwave explained, both of them being right next to each other. "Well, I'm up for suggestions." Shockwave was interrupted by Maxima slamming his fist between them. "Ok, we have to combine our powers to destroy him!" Shockwave said. Raven thought about it and finally decided it couldn't hurt to try. Both the Titans ran at Maxima. Shockwave shot off a beam of lightning and Raven shot of a chain of energy. Raven's power started wrapping around Shockwave's blast. The attack kept picking up speed and slammed into Maxima. The giant android was blasted back but fell over. "Well, that worked but I think one more will finish it." Raven suggested. Shockwave nodded and they tried their attack again. It went hurtling into Maxima. He was trying to hold it off but the force was to strong. It shot a hold right through his chest and he fell over. Shockwave and Raven walked off, leaving Maxima behind.
Back at Titans Tower, Raven and Shockwave were walking back to Raven's room. "I have to say, that was the weirdest date I've ever been on." Raven said stepping into her room. She paused and turned around, back to Shockwave. Raven gave a quick kiss on the check. "Good Night." She said, closing her night. Shockwave just held his hand to his check. "Night." He said, and then walked off. Shockwave entered his room and fell asleep on his bed, dreaming of the next day…
