Holy tomatos I've gotten reviews! EGAD! Right then well, time to answer to my dears…
Zoicytes-Shadow: Oh good. Well… complicated yes… more and more drama. I guess for something I hate in real life, I write about it a lot ((the drama I mean)). Oh nooo I spelled it wrong? CURSES! Well… that kind of sucks… I feel a bit stupid now, but I'll get over it. Yeah… exactamundo. A diversion to get Starfire. Who knows what will happen then? Not I, not you. We shall find out as I write onwards!
Samael Archonit's ON! Haha it's fine. It was funny, but you as a prep, hah, haha that'll be the day… whooo! DON'T HURT MEEEE! Of course the reflection is back! The story needs the reflection, I mean, the reflection just adds so much! Dude, I typed EIGHT PAGES in ONE HOUR. 24 hours after I saw you. I was emotionally EXAUSTED. Writing doesn't usually take a lot out of me, but I worked really hard on that chapter! REALLY HARD! Same as for this chapter. You better be grateful… Thank you very much!
Wait, someone likes Evanescence but dislkies AFI? AFI isn't suicidal… except for But Home Is Nowhere, but other than that they aren't that bad. You want suicide listen to the used, but that's emotional death… well… no… Yeah The Used, they are suicdal, more so than Evanescence. If Raven hadn't stopped Torniquet she would have gone farther, her reflection probably would have butted in and then… who knows. Good thing Traffic Light was there, right? Oh thank you! Imaginary ended up in there because I was listening to it and then typing the story, and I read over it and just stuck in the lyrics to Imaginary. Freaky, huh? I'm ashamed, I spelled Jinx wrong, I always thought hers would be different from the curse jinx but I was WRONG! Yes, I suppose you have… you could however GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR MONEY AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Just kiddding… I think.
Xlife: Thank you very much! What will happen to Starfire, I am sorry to tell you, as I write this before I write the chapter, I have no clue. But we'll see… tee hee… that was really weird O.o How can I involve Slade and not involve fire? Hmm? Haha that would be too much fun to resist, seeing as Slade is one of the best "baddies" out there.
Haha, this is true, this is true… Of course I get it. That was good… you don't have to put your hand over your mouth, I like your reviews! They are often amusing.
Febreese: Ah, sure… sniff, sniff… just ditch us man! Just kidding, glad you still like it. Interesting name by the way… I shall update as much and as fast as possible! No fears! JEMERIK IS HERE! Or maybe it is time to fear, any way you want to take it.
AngeloftheSecondHell: Of course your review has meaning. Deep meaning at that! Yeah, Fallen as in from heaven, not physically, that must have sounded weird. I didn't mean for it to come out like that, I'll have to reword it and see if it makes sense to you. Maybe in the end it will. I suppose I am wrong then. Sigh… Haha this is not a first, I guess after writing a long chapter ((for me)) I was a bit… crazed… if that makes any sense. But yeah. We'll see what interesting thereis I come up with here! Your review makes perfect sense! But grounded? STOP THE MADNESS HERE! I sympathize for you, and I hope you manage to sneak onto a computer as much as you can!
Angel Vanilla: I am going to try as much as I can, but like I said I just opened up a FictionPress account, so it may take a bit longer. But yeah, I'll try really, really hard! I won't kill Starfire, ((I think)) she does bug me sometimes, ALWAYS FLIRTING WITH ROBIN! Grrr… Robin/Raven people ROBIN/RAVEN! Sorry about that… She should end up okay, as long as I watch the show and I don't see her do something stupid. Then she may not be. But I doubt that will happen…
SakuraAngelina: Oh yes… it is going to get very interesting, and dramatic. Drama, drama, drama. Fun to type. Hah oh well, not like I get enough of that, but let's push my problems away for now. Groovy groovy.
Well, a lot of really long reviews! Thank you so much for reviewing!
ON MY OWN HERE WE GO"Hey grass stain, I'm going to the arcade, wanna come?" Cyborg knocked on Beast Boy's door, in hopes of getting the green boy to come out. Cyborg knew Beast Boy cared for Starfire a little. The metal man wondered if it was developing into something more. Cyborg laughed to himself, Beast Boy and Starfire… the paparatzi would love that!
"Sure Cyborg!" Beast Boy never seemed to be able to pass up the opportunity to play a video game, and right now he needed to get his mind off Starfire. What time could be better.
Beast Boy and Cyborg left, leaving Raven and Robin alone.
Raven sat in her room, wondering what to do with herself, she had kind of needed Beast Boy in order to train him. She didn't want to be alone with Robin either, though they didn't hate eachother, Raven was still uncomfortable with him. Sighing to herself, Raven decided to go get some herbal tea, Robin or no Robin. She wasn't scared of him. Raven didn't do fear.
Robin cursed at himself. He felt so useless, how could he have let Slade get Starfire? If he had been a better leader this wouldn't have happened! This was all his fault! He had been careless and Starfire had been kidnapped, who knew what Slade would do to her?
Robin pounded his fist on the table in his room, papers on Slade spread out in front of him flew to the floor. "I have to get her back." Robin growled.
Raven had been passing by his room at the time, hearing him scream at himself like that caught her interest.
"I suppose I shouldn't let him beat himself up like this." Raven muttered to herself. "Robin?" She said louder, knocking on his door.
"Come in Raven."
Raven froze, how had he known it was her? It seemed fast of Robin to invite her into his room, she hadn't expected him to let her in.
Cautiously the dark teen entered the room, looking around at the walls, above the traffic light colored walls, yellow trim, red walls, green ceiling, there were hundreds upon hundreds of newspaper articles tacked onto the walls, every article about a villian.
"We have to find her. Soon."
"I know Robin." Raven's voice was it's usual monotone, with a slight cold edge to it.
"Slade will take advantage of her."
"In more ways than you think…" Raven said to herself.
"That is what scares me. If she is there too long… she could be… raped."
The words were simple, the truth in them was the part that frightened both teens.
"I have a lead… under an old apartment building. Titans, GO!"
"Robin, it is just you and I, you don't have to say 'Titans, GO'."
"Right. Come on! Can you fly me there?"
"Is it the abondonded one on the edge of downtown?"
"Yes…"
"I can teleport us there. Azarath, Metrion… Zinthos."
Robin and Raven dissapeared in a flash of black light, reappearing at the hideout where Slade was beieved to be.
Robin wasted no time and started rush in, ready for anything that flew at him.
Raven was more cautious, though it dawned on her, and a moment later Robin.
"IT'S A TRAP!" Robin said, turning around and grabbing Raven, running as fast as he could as far away as possible. He grabbed Raven and dove to the ground with her, without realizing it protecting her as if he were natural with it.
A few seconds later the apartment building exploded.
Robin glared at the ground. He sat up. "We have to find her! I have to get Slade for this!"
Raven looked at Robin with traces of pity in her eyes, this wasn't fair to him.
"We should go back to the tower." Robin said, standing up.
Raven nodded and teleported them back.
"We need Starfire. For you… for whatever is coming. We need to train Beast Boy. Cyborg and I need to prepare. Everything is going to fall apart if we don't act soon. Are you ready to train Beast Boy?"
"Yes. I've as physcologically prepared as I ever can be to train him."
"I don't think you will ever be ready to handle Beast Boy."
"I have to agree." Raven said. "I'm going to my room." Raven turned on her heel and left.
Robin didn't understand why she always left him alone. He wanted to talk to her about Starfire. He frowned to himself and went to take his anger on his punching bag.
Raven sat in her room thinking to herself… thinking about Lilith, Starfire, and what to do about Beast Boy.
Lilith suddenly appeared in Raven's room, radiating white light.
"I thought you were fallen." Raven grumbled, surprised.
"It was.. a state of mind. I'm insecusre, they made me this way. I am gaining myself again, stability shall be welcomed."
"Ah. I see. So you aren't fallen, you are an angel. But you are helping a demon."
"Yes, I won't be an angel if I manage to keep this up." Lilith stared out in front of her. "Tamaran is with you. When the time is right they will be by your side. There are a small group of Azarathians willing to help you. The fallen are with you. Trigon is strong…"
"Starfire would be pleased Tamaran will be on our side."
"Would be?"
"She has been kidnapped by Slade."
"It is under the act of God that I undo this." Lilith said. "Come."
Raven was gone in a flash of radiant white, a white so deep humans can't begin to comprehend it's beauty.
Starfire hid in a corner, all the while knowing Slade would be able to reach her no matter where she hid. Starfire felt another prescence in the room, scaring her even more.
"Robin?" Her voice was hopeful, wishing it would be him. Silence answered. "Please may I ask of who you are?"
"Starfire. Calm down." Raven said.
"Child, come here." Lilith said.
Her confidence seems to be returing, I suppose her faith to god has been restored. She will be a true angel, not what she was… an angel… not fallen, not pure. A rare inbetween.
Raven sensed something amiss with Starfire. Pushing the feelings aside she simply stated "Slade is coming, let's have a reunion back at the Tower."
Lilith nodded and transported them out, away from Slade, before anyone could react.
Robin beat the punching bag sensless. "Carless… mistakes…" He grunted, "Should have… watched… Starfire… Raven is… mad… at me… for another… careless mistake… Why… her… why can't I… like… Starfire…" Robin paused, he had just admitted to himself he liked Raven. Something was amiss, Raven, the ice pricness… Robin, the traffic light. It didn't mix, did it? No. Of course not. Raven didn't have time for petty relationships. Robin shoved the thoughts out of his mind, he didn't want to think about that.
"We must go see Robin!" Starfire burst as soon as the trio was back in Raven's room.
"I must leave. I have business to attend to. You may reach me through thought. I will be alongside you if the prophecy should progress." Lilith transported herself away, Raven didn't know where, and decided it was better she didn't know.
"Robin!" Starfire dragged Raven into the training room, where Robin had been beating the punching bag sensless while talking to it.
"Starfire? How? When?"
"Friend Raven and friend Lilith came to me!"
"It was Lilith's idea, I didn't know she could do this."
"Find Starfire? Well wouldn't that have been convienent."
"Ahem! Friends! I am here! There shall be no more worrying!"
"On the contrary. The worrying has just begun. Obviously Slade knows how important you are right now."
"How much of importance I am? But what would this information provide Slade with?"
"He knows! Don't you know about the prophecy? After all I explained to you?"
Just then the others burst into the room.
"Starfire!"
"Star! Great to see ya again!"
"Beast Boy I need to train you. Everyone else… do whatever." Raven said.
"How about later rae?"
"Whatever. Don't call me Rae. I'm going to go meditate."
Robin frowned and followed Raven. Something had made her want to leave…
Cyborg went to go play a video game.
Starfire and Beast Boy stood alone. Beast Boy shuffled his feet in an awkwasrd way. He looked up to Starfire and cleared his throat. "Hey… uhm… Star… I was wondering if you wanted to go see a movie with me it doesn't have to be a date I just really like to talk to you and you laugh and me and I was really worried while you were gone and I missed you and yeah…" Beast Boy said out of breath.
"Yes friend Beast Boy! I would love to go on the tradtion on Earth called a 'date'! Let us go today! Right now!" Starfire grabbed Beast Boy, running out of the room with him to enjoy an afternoon of jokes, pizza, and movies.
End chapterWhat will happen with Robin and Raven? What did Raven sense about Starfire? Are Starfire and Beast Boy really… dating… or am I just fooling you? If so how much will it affect the team? What happens with Lilith? Give me ideas and I'll help us all find out.
