AddictiveJon- Hmm maybe BB will get lost. I write the story as I go
Psychic Werewolf Assassin-It was the only reasonable explanation I could come up with to make Raven give him her cloak lol )
AngeloftheSecondHell- Thanks :D The confrontation is in the next chapter : )
After walking for a while Raven came out of the forest and into the big city. Not wanting to be seen as a villain publicly she took a big leap onto the side of a building and scaled the rest of it to the top, seeing as though she couldn't use her powers. Slade was watching her through his monitor in his hideout.
"Good Raven. Now use your demonic agility to jump across the rooftops to meet your destination." Slade's voice came out of an earpiece Raven was using.
Raven walked over to the edge of the building she was currently on. She looked down at the street below. Cars were on the road, lit up by their headlights and what not. Raven then returned her gaze to a building next to hers. Reluctantly she took a couple steps back and ran towards the edge. Just as she was about to jump off, she used all her strength to push off. Raven soared through the air, during so she could feel her demonic blood raging through her legs, giving them a warm sensation.
"Oof.." Raven landed on the other building's roof in a crouched position. Slowly she stood up.
"Wow that didn't hurt at all. And it was so easy to do…"
"Yes child. You haven't used your demonic powers for so long that you forgot how much power and strength you truly possess." Raven put her hand up to her ear piece as Slade spoke.
"Now continue on your way."
Though Raven would not admit it openly, using her demonic power felt, kind of…..good… Raven looked at another rooftop. She ran up and jumped into the air as before and landed on it. With a few quick steps more she jumped and sailed in the air with ease to another one and so on and so forth.
Beast boy was still sniffing the ground as a green bloodhound. He had journeyed about 5 more miles into the forest. Suddenly he caught a whiff of something.
'Raven?'
The green dog started sniffing the ground in bigger whiffs as he started to walk faster along the ground. BB the resumed human force. He took the piece of cloak out of his pocket once more.
"Yeah that's definitely Raven." He stuffed the blue fabric in his pocket once more, morphed into a cheetah and ran off at top speed, dodging various trees, fallen branches, and stones. Steadily the scent became stronger and stronger. Beast Boy stopped running and morphed back to his human self.
"It smells the strongest here…" Beast Boy looked around but found nothing. Apparently BB was standing right on top of the concealed, cellar like door to Slade's hideout. Slade had been watching Beast Boy on another monitor next to Raven's.
"Hmm interesting…." Slade tapped his fingers together to see if Beast Boy was smart enough to find the hideout. On the monitor, the green changeling sniffed around a bit and then started walking off in another direction.
"Guess not.." Sladesaid to himself. He then turned his attention back to Raven's monitor as she was nearing the Flexail building. Just then she landed on top of the building's roof.
"Ok now take 3 steps to your right." Raven did as she was told.
"Now say these words, Hendalick Arigas Nomance."
"Hendalick Arigas Nomance." Just then a hole big enough for one person to jump through opened in the building's roof. Raven just stared at it.
'How did Slade find all of this out?' She figured it would be best not to ask questions.
"Now jump through the hole and the Pyrotius should be encased in a glass container."
Raven jumped in and landed in a very dark room. The only source of light was coming from the glass container with the Pyrotius in it, as Slade had mentioned.
"Now repeat those words and the case should disappear."
Raven did so and the Pyrotius was now uncovered and free to take. Slowly Raven grabbed the hunk of metal. It was indeed heavy for such a small object.
"Now return to me."
'This was easier then I thought. There are no guards or anything...'
Raven nodded her head. Slade turned and looked away from the monitor.
"Good."
Starfire had been flying over the forest and couldn't find anything. She had started to make her way over the city in hopes of finding some sign of Raven. It would be hard to find anyone in the dark, even with all the lights on the bill boards and buildings. Just then Starfire's communicator went off.
"Starfire, Beast Boy, have any luck?" Robin's face appeared on the little screen. He had only called Starfire's communicator since he though Beast Boy was still with her.
"I haven't any luck of finding Raven, and Beast Boy had elected that we go our separate ways, letting us cover more of the ground."
"Alright well Cyborg and me just wanted to let you know Cinderblock has been defeated and we are back on the search."
"Good, you should notify friend Beast Boy."
"We will Star, thanks." And with that Robin clicked off his communicator and hopped on his R-cycle.
"Cy, tell Beast Boy ok?"
"Will do." Cyborg gave Robin a thumbs up as the Boy wonder gave him a nod back sped off.
Beast Boy had started walking off in the direction Raven had gone while searching for the Flexail building. He was nearing the end of the forest when his communicator went off. Hurriedly he pulled his communicator out and fumbled with it in his hands for a second before clicking it on. Beast Boy hoped there would be good news.
"Hey B, it's me. Robin and I defeated Cinderblock and we are going to help search for Raven once again."
"So that means you don't know anything?" Beast Boy frowned a bit and looked down..
Cyborg looked at him sadly. But then it changed to a hardened expression.
"We WILL find her BB. No matter how much time and searching it takes, we WILL find her." Cyborg then gave his green friend a slight smile of encouragement. Beast Boy looked up and replied with a weak smile.
"Oh yeah I need to tell you guys something!" Beast Boy pressed a button on his communicator connecting all the Titans together.
"Yeah Beast Boy?" Robin held his communicator up to his ear, keeping his eyes on a road he was driving down.
"Friend Beast Boy, you have found something?"
"Yes, I had caught a whiff of Raven's scent and I'm currently following it. It seems as though she is going into the city. I'm not completely sure if this is another one of Slade's traps but I think it's the real deal."
"Good, Beast Boy keep tracking the scent. Where are you?"
"I'm right near the fair grounds now Robin."
"Alright good, keep tracking the scent. The others and I will be with you soon."
"Roger that." Cy turned off his communicator and drove off in the T-car. Starfire had hooked her communicator to her belt and started flying towards the fair grounds. Robin sped on his R-cycle to meet up with BB.
Raven was currently jumping along rooftops once again. She had to make her way back to the hideout. Raven landed on a rooftop in a crouched position. The moon shining light on her back.
"I have to be really careful. I know the Titans wouldn't have given up on a search for me yet." Raven looked around. Seeing no sign of her friends she continued jumping stealthily, avoiding the moonlight as much as possible.
After about 5 minutes all the Titans had met up with each other.
"I can smell her. I know she was here!" Beast Boy pointed towards some buildings. He singled out the first building Raven was on.
"There we have to go up there." BB morphed into a pterodactyl and started to fly to the top of the building.
Cyborg had stepped out of the T-car and Robin had gotten off his R-cycle. Starfire took one of Robin's hands and one of Cyborg's and flew behind Beast Boy who was almost already on the top. Beast Boy had morphed into a dog in mid air and landed on the roof gracefully. He sniffed the ground. BB sniffed it until he came to the ledge of the roof. He then looked up to see Starfire let Robin and Cyborg down right next to him. BB turned back into a human.
"She's traveling by rooftop! If we fly up higher we can make better distance."
"You can still track the scent from high up?" Cyborg looked at Beast Boy.
"Yes."
"Ok Star follow Beast Boy." Starfire nodded as once again she took hold of Robin and Cyborg. Beast Boy morphed into an eagle and flew upwards, Starfire and the rest of the team trailing behind.
I'm saving the confrontation of the team and Rae for the next chapter : ) Lets see if I can get at least 5 reviews on this ;)
