Disclaimer- I happen to own 15 pairs of shoes, No Titans or Gothamites though.
HT22102- goofy! (Said with nothing but love of course) hehe thanks; what did I tell you about breathing! (Stamps foot) lookie I killed the plot bunny! You're such a sweet lovely! PLOT BUNNY STEW ALL AROUND, tastes like chicken oddly enough.
Kosmic- Thanks my lovely one! (Dances with you) you can dance if you want to! you can leave your cares behind cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance then their no friends of mine! Whoops 80's flashback! Even though I was just a little one back then
Ash- yes you admit it! Join my army of …….. Err did I say that out loud? Yummy chocolate chip my fav! NO NOT ETIQUETTE! I like eating with my hands and belching and, well I don't do any of that (too much of a girlie girl) but no more lessons please! I graduated 5 years ago for Pete's sake (btw anyone know this Pete fellow everyone always talks about?)
Elm-Tree10- (blushes) why thank you my lovely one, you're too kind. Tim thinks Raven and Emma are separate people, he hasn't put two and two together, I'll get around to explaining that a bit more either this chapter or next.
Robins- Clone- why thank you! Well that'd be too easy and not much of a story then eh? Yup pretty much, that and I just can't bring myself to kill slade, he's such a good villan (that's an oxymoron guys and gals) thank you for you're kind words I look forward to future reviews my newest lovely!
In the bat cave (wooo two times in one ficky) Emma lay on her bed wishing feverently for her healing powers to return. Curse that Trigon for taking that power away. Sighing she slowly sat up looking around she found Bruce leaning against some random piece of machinery (which the authoress is too lazy to describe)
"We're going to have to explain that injury of yours you know" Bruce sounded suspiciously like an over protective father at that moment.
"Yea I know" Emma placed a hand gently on her tender midriff "Cyborgs sonic cannon sure packs a wallop" she mused out loud.
"Follow me I've got it all sorted out" Gesturing with his hand Bruce started walking away followed by Emma
"So what's the plan Stan?" they were nearing the training area
"Training accident" Bruce held up an exploding disk, one that looked remarkably similar to the ones robin used to wield.
"Oh, makes sense. Only" she was cut off
"Only Emma doesn't do crime fighting? Whose to say you don't help us train?" Bruce could have been a criminal mastermind had he chosen the other path. But that's what we love about the dark knight. Emma mused to herself.
Upstairs in the kitchen breakfast was being served when a small explosion shook the manor followed everyone in the house running downstairs attack ready. They all put their various toys and super powers away when they saw Bruce leaning over an unconscious Emma.
"EMMA" Tim yelled as he ran to her side
"What happened?" Richard took a few steps forward so to get a better look at the fallen girl, Her hair was singed slightly, her pajama top had a hole burned right in the middle showing off the burn mark on her stomach
"She wanted to train with me, said she was thinking about fighting crime with me, I told her she wasn't ready but she insisted, she got distracted and well you can guess what happened next"
Meanwhile
Slade stalked about his abandoned warehouse. Tonight was the night! The girl would get the crystal and he would get back what belonged to him finally. He would get his own flesh and blood back. He could almost feel it. He was sick and tired of being a walking pile of bones. And as for the girl, she'd be far too weak after restoring him to put up any sort of fight when he snatched the crystal from her; yes he would crush her right in front of the Titans and The bat. Yes a splendid evening it would be indeed.
That night after visiting with Emma up stairs in her room, the Group gathered in the Bat cave for their briefing. They were about to begin when Raven materialized in silence, clearing her throat caused the whole group to turn around. They were all in defensive stances. She expected no less
"Stand down, I'm not here to fight" her voice calm and even as ever
"Raven why have you done the double cross and joined with slade" Starfires words were sad with a hint of anger?
"It's because she's evil, she can't fight her dark side any longer, right?" it was the most logical explanation Beastboy could manage.
"C'mon Rae give your self up, we don't want to hurt you" Cyborgs sonic cannon was humming to life. Just in case
"She's a Traitor that's all there is to it, there is no logical explanation, none" Nightwings voice was full of commitment he meant every word
Tim who couldn't bring himself to talk noticed Ravens' head drop slightly, maybe she felt bad about the whole thing?
"Look, I.. I have to do something tonight, as my friends I'm going to ask you not to get involved." Her voice was just a little shaky Tim picked up on it instantly, none of the others seemed to notice and batman was uncharacteristically quiet and stoic about the whole thing perhaps he knew more about this than he had let on?
"FRIENDS! Friends do not run away, friends do not let their friends believe they are dead for three years, friends do not betray their friends by joining with their most untrusted foe" Starfire yelled Ravens head just sank a little farther down
" I can't explain right now, just PLEASE stay here tonight!" with that she disappeared into her portal once again.
"Maybe you were all wrong about Raven after all huh?" Bruce had started to walk off towards the Batmobile.
"You know something don't you Bruce, tell me" Tim demanded!
Bruce only shook his head no "I don't but I know better than to take things at face value" he hated lying but they couldn't know they may hold back and ruin everything they had to be able to attack her knowing, or at least thinking she would do the same. Slade couldn't suspect a thing
Elsewhere
Raven waited on top of a rather tall building over looking the Gotham museum, She sighed as the wind ruffled her cloak. Tonight it all finally ended with the crystal of Carnath she would be able to rid herself of her father. By imprisoning his soul in the crystal she could send the crystal to another dimension and be rid of him once and for all, sure she'd have some explaining to do to her friends but it was all worth it.
A heavy hand was on her shoulder
"Apprentice the hour grows near"
