Teen Titans, The Son of Evil, Part 1:My Baby Brother
Chapter 2:First Impressions are often Entirely Wrong.
Child's POV
My name is Crane. I am gifted with tremendous power, and cursed with it as well. I have telekinesis, which is hard to control when expressing emotions, but I've learned control, so now I can show emotions without something breaking. I can also shoot fire balls or streams of fire out of my hands, a power that my father knows pretty well. My father is the Demon Lord of Azarath. My mother abandoned me at a young age and took my older sister, Raven Roth, with her. I'll never forgive her, and I'll never forget it. My father locked me in a cage that I've been in for four long years. He said it was for my safety, but it's more like a prison to me. I am only fed water and raw meat, which I have to eat like a wild animal. During these years, I've been trying to get out of my cage, but to no avail. That was until earlier ( like last chapter) the cage door mysteriously opened by itself. It doesn't matter because now, finally, I'm free. I step out of my cage onto the rocky surface of one of my father's lava chambers. It feels so warm that my skin color changes from pale white to my normal pale gray color, but no heat in the galaxy can warm or melt the icy surface of my frozen heart. But I know someone who can, someone who is still family to me, someone who might love me as much as I love her: my Sister. I put on my socks and my Azarathian shoes and draw a deep breath. I chant "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" then the gem on my forehead starts to shine brightly. The power of my gem opens a portal to the world called Earth, the world where my mother came from. I walk into the portal and feel it close behind me. I am falling down a deep tunnel of shining energy. After a few minutes of waiting, I can see the other side of the portal opening before my eyes. I curl myself into a ball and hold onto myself as I pass to the other side. When it is all over, I slowly lift my head and look around. I am in a city of some sort, but where I am in the city is covered with soft green grass as well as trees. I'm standing on a small hill. I slowly stand up, even though my legs feel wobbly - that will wear off soon. I look out and see the ocean and the sun starting to set. It's a beautiful scene. But then I sniff something in the air as a small breeze blows. I sense something coming this way. I turn to my left and see a large building in the shape of 'T' on a small island near the shore. But not only that, I also see five figures heading towards me - two running, three flying. For the two that are running, one is bigger than the other. The small one has black spikey hair with an eye mask covering his eyes. He's wearing a short sleeve red and yellow shirt with an 'R' on it along with green pants and a black cape. The bigger one looks like he's an African American who appears to be half human and half robot. As for the three that are flying, the first one is a female, but not human. She has red hair and orange skin, and wears a purple top, that exposes her stomach, a purple skirt and purple boots. The second is a hawk, but I can tell that he is human. I've seen many shape shifters before, but not a green one. The last one is also a female, but with purple hair and pale gray skin just like me. She, too, has a gem planted in her forehead and also wears a blue cloak and female version of my outfit. She's the one I'm looking for, she's the one I've wanted to love forever, She's my sister! She appears to be two or three years older than me, And God she's so Beautiful!
Normal POV
"All right, Titans, we're near our destination. I see someone strange up on the hill, maybe that's Crane," said Robin as he and the others keep running and flying until they all have reached the top of the hill. When Beastboy, Starfire and Raven land, all five Titans just stand there a few feet from the strange boy.
"Yo! You're the one named Crane right!"barked out Cyborg.
"Yes,"responded the male half-demon in a calm, yet frightened voice.
"You know, I always expected you to be taller," announced beastboy, because it's really true that Crane is only an inch shorter than him. Crane was just insulted and he doesn't like it.
"Titans! Attack!" shouted Robin, as he as he threw a couple of discs. Starfire unleashed a barrage of starbolts while Cyborg fired his sonic cannon. But surprisingly, Crane blocked all of their attacks by creating a telepathic wall between him and the titans.
"Wow? He has the same powers as you do Raven," said Cyborg, totally surprised. Raven just gave him a look that says 'duh, I know that!'.
"Stop attacking ME!" shouted out Crane as he reflected all of their attacks back at them. The titans dodge the reflected attacks just in time. "What the hell did I ever do to all of you!" shouted an extremely pissed off Crane.
" You mean, you don't want to attack us?" asked a confused Starfire.
"WHHAAATTTT! YOU PSYCHOPATHS WERE THE ONES WHO ATTACKED ME!" screamed out Crane, more pissed off than before. This just made all of the titans scared to death.
"We're all very sorry we attacked you," apologized Robin.
"Yes! We are all very, very, very sorry. Can you pretty please find in your heart to forgive all of us?" said Starfire, more apologetic and frightened than the rest.
Crane, still a bit mad, took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and asked "Okay, first of all, I'm looking for a female named Raven Roth. Do you know where I could find her? And second, how did you all know my name?" Then Raven walked up to the male half-demon.
"Yes, I'm Raven Roth and I had sensed you. Can I help you in anyway?" asked Raven.
"Raven, don't you remember me?" asked Crane.
"Huh. What are you talking about?" asked a confused Raven.
"Don't you recognize me at all. Raven it's me, your brother,"said Crane, extremely worried.
"Impossible, I don't have a brother," said Raven, more seriously.
"What! But Raven, you do have a brother, Me!" said Crane, even more worried.
"I said I don't have a brother!" said Raven, starting to raise her voice.
"Yes You DO!" said Crane again, with tears starting to appear in his eyes.
"NO, I DON'T" shouted the female half-demon, Now totally mad. "Now LEAVE you Little Wretch! Or else you'll suffer severe consequences!" as she finished.
"But..." repeated Crane, but was cut off by Raven, who has now completely lost it. She jumped on Crane and slammed him on the ground and started to choke him. He tried to break free, but being as though that Raven was older, bigger, and heavier than him, he couldn't escape. Raven could feel and sense the life leaving his body as her grip on his neck became tighter. Crane wasn't going to survive much longer.
Robin couldn't watch it anymore and ran towards the two. He grabbed Raven by the hood of her cloak and tried to pull her off. "RAVEN, STOP!" shouted the boy wonder, pulling harder than before. With Robin pulling on her cloak, Raven lost her grip on Crane and let go. Crane inhaled and exhaled deep andsteady free breaths. He got up on his feet, coughing and crying at the same time. Looking one more time at the witch that almost killed him, he levitated and flew away, crying like his heart stopped beating.
"Yo! What's your problem Rae!" shouted Cyborg, both angry and worried/freaked out.
"I Don't Have a Stupid Worthless BROTHER!" yelled Raven, extremely pissed off. She could sense that Crane had heard what she just said. Without hesitation, she pulled her hood over her head and flew of towards the tower.
Beastboy, Starfire, and Cyborg just stared after Raven while Robin stared off at the far distant, broken Crane.
