Finally! Took me a while to figure out how to make this work. Don't worry, the next chapter will come much sooner than this one did. I've just been busy lately, and I'm failing math...

Anyway, thank you to all of the reviewers. You guys mean a lot to me. Don't loose touch!

God bless!


Chapter Two

Shock

Robin paced anxiously across the main room. His teammates had yet to arrive, and he didn't know whether to be thankful for the extra time or wish them to hurry. Either way, he'd have to tell them what he knew the moment they walked in.

He sighed heavily and sat at the table. This couldn't be happening. And yet he knew it was. No matter what he thought, he'd missed the most important thing in history. And so now he had to tell his friends, had to convince them before it was too late. There was no way he was going to let them miss this again. He would make them believe!

Finally, he heard the door open behind him. An anxious Starfire glided to where he sat and looked at him expectantly. He turned to see the others and noticed that they, too, were frantic, even though Raven tried to hide it. They crowded around him, all waiting for answers, all wanting the nightmare to end.

He took a deep breath and looked down. They'd never believe him! What was he thinking?

It was the moment of truth.

"Guys," he began, looking each one in the eyes, "I'm going to tell you something you'll never believe, but you're going to have to trust me and not say a thing until I'm done with what I'm trying to say." They all nodded, and he continued. "All of you have every right to think I'm crazy. I just might be. But everything I've read in the past matches up with what's happening now.

"My family and I used to always go to church when I was younger. To me, the stories were just that: tales that held no real meaning or virtue. But I was horribly wrong.

"When we went to church, the pastor would tell us about a time when Jesus Christ would come back to Earth and take all of his true believers away, leaving behind all of their earthly items. There then was supposed to be a deceiver who is said to have manipulation abilities; he'll lead many astray with his false ideas of peace and brotherhood among nations. Then, there's to be a treaty made with him and Israel, beginning the last seven years of Earth.

"I thought this was just a cool science fiction story. Now I realize I've made the biggest mistake anyone could make. I want you all to think about this and join me." He looked around at the faces staring at him, and became discouraged. Raven's face showed slight disgust and annoyance, as if she was repulsed at him for even thinking such things. Starfire looked confused. Beast Boy and Cyborg stared at him, as if trying to discern exactly what it was he was saying.

"Robin, are you saying these things because you're looking for any explanation for what's going on?" Raven's voice felt like a knife, cutting him deeper with every word. He'd expected this.

"Raven, please do not be mean," Starfire said in reply. Then she turned to Robin. "I believe you."

"Yeah, I've kind of heard this stuff before, too, but I never really thought about it. But now, with what's happening, I think it sounds a whole lot more like what's going on." Cyborg said, "I'm in."

"I'm with you guys." Beast Boy said.

"Have you all lost you senses?" Raven screamed, "There is no way I'm going to go with this just because you all felt you had to join the band wagon!"

"Actually, Raven," Robin said, "I think I just came to my senses."

"Well count me out! I want no part of this!" With that, she stormed out of the room.

"Do not worry, friend. She shall have her time. Does she not always come with time?" Starfire was desperate to soothe the pained faces of her male companions.

"It's all right," Robin said, "We can pray for her. For now, we need to find out exactly what's going on now and will come in the future. Follow me."

He led the others to his room, a place they'd rarely visited in the past. When they arrived, he went over to where he'd left the book he'd held and read from earlier. The Titans gathered around and were all able to see one word printed in golden lettering: Bible.


This isn't as easy as it seems; they're going to drift in and out of their faith for a while. It's only this easy now because they're panic-stricken. Will Raven become a Christian? I don't really know yet.
