Authors Note: Ahhh! The reviews from the last chapter made me so very happy. I would personally like to thank Sarah, Trinity, and Blade of Destiny for their great reviews (after all, you guys put me into a good mood). By the way, the rae/rob and Terra/Phan is only temporary.
Chapter 10- 4 VS 2
Terra awoke the next morning expecting Phantom to be sleeping next to her. But for the first time in the years that theyve been with each other, he had gotten up before her without waking her or going back to sleep. When Terra looked at the clock, it was only eight in the morning. Instead of going back to sleep or waiting for Phantom to return to her with breakfast, she threw on a gray bathrobe and walked out of the bedroom. As she walked through the shadows of the mansion, she didnt notice a pair of eyes watching her. When Terra got into the kitchen, she saw a plate with eggs, pancakes, bacon, toast, and juice. When an arm wrapped around her neck, she purred and she heard the culptrit say,"Your up early."
"Phantom, you didnt have to do this," Terra squealed.
"Your right, I did it because I felt like it," Phantom replied, letting go of Terra. Immediatley after Phantom let go of her, she dove right onto a chair and began eating. "I thought I didnt have to do this," Phantom said sarcastically.
"You didnt, but its good that you did, Im hungry as hell," Terra replied with her mouth full.
"Oh well," Phantom said. He then pulled out a bottle of red wine, poured a glass, and sat across from Terra and began eating himself.
"Do you have anything planned for today?" Terra asked curiously. Phantom merely smirked.
With the Titans
After the prievious nights events, the Titans were lucky if they got any sleep. Or at least that applies to Robin and Raven, who were up most of the night in silence, constantly contemplating how the could have been hit by a storm without anyone knowing. But as the clock struck eight, the sun began to rise. In Ravens room, the shades were up for once, and the rising sun highlighted the entire room. But as the sun reached reached Ravens sleeping figure, she began to stir. And as the sun swept over her completley, she opened her eyes which were red from the lack of sleep and the consistent tears she shed while she was awake and while she was asleep.
"Thats strange, when did I leave the shades up?" Raven thought out loud. When the answer hit her, she collapsed to the floor and began sobbing waterfalls.
Upon hearing Ravens sobs, Robin shot right up and ran into her room. When he saw her in a heap on the floor, he rushed over to her and held her in his arms. "Raven, whats wrong?" Robin asked.
"He promised to come back for me, and Ive betrayed him," Raven sobbed.
"Who promised, who did you betray?" Robin asked.
"Phantom, he promised to return to me when I was of age, and Ive betrayed him by being with you," Raven answered, sobbing more.
"Raven honey, youve been of age for three years, why would he return now instead of back when you first became of age. And why would you think that youve betrayed him by being with me? And why do you think hes involved with yesterdays events?" Robin asked.
"Its possible that he was afraid to come back, and Ive betrayed him because him and I have been engaged since the night he took me out to the theatre. The only reason I believed his was involved with yesterday is because he kept on proclaimiing that he was the lord of the night. The reason I know he wasnt lying is because at night, he did the most amazing impossible things, and it didnt even have to be nighttime out, all he had to do was enter the shadows and he was God," Raven answered.
Before, the conversation could go any further, the alarm rang. Before it could wake any of the others up, Robin turned it off and he and Raven were off to the scene of the crime.
When Robin and Raven reached the town square, the police pointed to the candy store. Walking out of the store at that moment was a man with auburn hair and blue eyes.
"Ahhh, so you must be the famous Titans, but I thought there were more. Or did I simply call to early for the Titans to wake up? Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, famous superheroes are not supposed to be lazy," The man said.
"Who are you?" Robin asked in a military like tone.
"Just call me, Sweettooth," Sweettooth answered. He then pulled out a jawbreaker and threw it at the ground. It exploded into a mist of pink smoke that smelt strangly like strawberries. But once the smoke cleared, Sweettooth was gone. When Robin ran over to where Sweettooth was standing, Raven picked up an envelope that was next to the shattered jawbreaker. When she opened it, there was a note that said,"My brother is always watching." It was simple enough to figure out, but Raven couldnt let Robin or the others see this, they would freak out. So she his the note inside of her hood and walked over to Robin.
"Damnit, not a trace of anything," Robin muttered.
"Its alright, lets just go back to the tower," Raven said in a soothing voice. Robin nodded and they were off.
Once back at the tower, Raven ran straight to her room. She quickly closed and locked the door. Afterwards, she ran to her dresser and put the note into a drawer. Then she stared at herself in the mirror and for the first time since Phantom dissapeared, she noticed the pendant of the mask and rose hanging on the mirror.
"Phantom," Raven sobbed. Once again, she collapsed into a heap on the floor and she fell asleep from crying.
The next time Raven opened her eyes, it was eight at night. Before she could say a word, the alarm went off again. "Maybe if I fake sleep, I wont have to go," Raven thought to herself. But before she could put her plan into action, her door opened and in walked Beast Boy who yelled," Raven lets go, Terras in the park and shes screaming for us to go and face her!" Raven suddenly jumped up and practically flew ahead of the team to the park.
"Nice of you guys to join me," Terra said sarcatically.
"Terra, I thought you were on our side now?" Beast Boy asked. Terra didnt answer because she was distracted by a figure walking towards her in hot pink robes. When they realized it was a guy, Ravens heart lept. The guy looked exactly like Phantom. But instead of walking to Raven, he walked over to Terra. She cuddled into him and muttered,"Phantom."
"Terra, I love you, but its time for my charade to end, Im not Phantom, Im his brother, Sweettooth," Sweettooth said softly. Terra jerked her head from his chest and looked at him with an unconvinced face.
"You cant be, you have the same brown eyes," Terra replied. Sweettooth then popped his face against his hand and out came two brown contact lenses. And when Terra looked back up, she saw the two most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. "OK... so you lied to me, but you still acted as yourself, and I still love you," Terra said pulling Sweettooth into a kiss.
"Excuse me, but what is going on here?" asked a voice from behind Terra and Sweettooth. The two seperated and there, in the middle, stood Phantom. Raven ran over to him and embraced him to the point of death. He embraced her back and whispered in her ear,"Did you miss me?"
"Since the day you left," Raven smirked.
"Now is that proper behavior for the one you love?" Phantom asked sarcastically. It was however, after Phantom said this, that Raven noticed a white half-mask on his face.
"Maybe," Raven giggled.
"Maybe because...youve betrayed me!" Phantom yelled. He then threw Raven to Sweettooth and wailed,"Sweettooth, get her out of here, Ill deal with her later, and if I find out you harmed her, it will be the wrath of the night!" Sweettooth nodded and dissapeared under his robe with Raven.
"Should I leave as well?" Terra asked. Phantom looked over to her and shook his head.
"Terra, why are you on his side?" Beast Boy bawled.
"Because he wanted vengance, besides, you took love from him, you took his love from him," Terra answered.
"But I didnt... have anything to do with that," Beast Boy begged.
"Not you, Robin, but youve sided with the wrong person,"Terra said. Instead of letting Terra and Beast Boy finish their conversation, Phantom yelled and the sky quickly went pitch black and a snowstorm began brewing.
"Terra, enough talk, I need you!" Phantom yelled. Terra turned to him and nodded. She left Beast Boys side and joined Phantom.
"Terra, why?" Beast Boy asked. Terra hesitated, but lifted the ground that the Titans were on and began spinning it wildly. Phantom used his powers and lifted the snow that was already on the ground and threw it into the whirlwind that Terra was forming with the earth.
"Theyve recorded Typhoons, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, whirlwinds, whirlpools, and water tornadoes, but they havent said anything about snowstorm typhoons!" Phantom yelled as he made the snowstorm get fiercer. Soon after, the Titans couldnt see the outside world and Phantom couldnt see the Titans.
Inside of the typhoon, the Titans had gained their balance on the spinning rock, but had no idea how to get out. "Guys, let me see how fierce this storm is," Cyborg said in a more...idiotic...tone. He walked over to the edge and stuck his left hand into the storm. There was a clanging of metal and Cyborg squealed in pain. When he went back towards the Titans, his left hand was gone.
"Cyborg," Robin yelled running over to his friend.
"Robin, theres no way out,"Cyborg moaned in pain.
Outside the Typhoon
"Phantom, dont you think you being a little brutal?" Terra asked. Phantom paid no mind to her. Instead, he formed an orb comprised of darkness from the sky and threw it at the typhoon. Once again, Robin cameface to face, with the black tornado. Since Phantom was paying no mind to her, Terra stopped holding the ground in the air when she heard Beast Boy scream.
"No, Phantom stop!"Terra yelled. Phantom was preoccupied with another sight at the moment. Raven was jumping into the tornado from atop Sweettooths pink cloud.
"Raven, NO!" Phantom yelled.
