Holy crap…I acctually updated at one point this year! Once again. Friends started bugging me. So its coming up. Im not apologizing for the lack of update this time. Partly because im an ass. Partly because I just don't DO sorry. (I lied the past few chapters. LIIIIIIIIIEEEEED! Im not sorry.) and also because my friend is an ass too. Anyway. On with the chapter-that-i-am-not-sorry-about-being-late-for.


Raven woke up on her blanket on the floor with a green face WAY too close to her own. It took her a minute to realize what was going on. But it probably would have been better for Beast Boy if she had taken longer.

"…..BEAST BOY!" Raven screamed, immediately waking him up, and causing everyone else in the building to jump.

Beast Boy's screams, Raven's yells, and Cyborg's and Robin's laughter continued for the next few minutes until Raven really lost it.

"NEXT TIME YOU SLEEP OVER THERE! AND IF I GET PREGNANT YOU'RE DEAD YOU LITTLE MIDGET!" she yelled, Cyborg restraining her with some difficulty as she was constantly trying to zap out his systems with her powers while yelling her lungs out at Beast Boy who was currently hiding behind Robin who was starting to fear for his own life as well.

"Raven, calm down!" he repeated, as usual, to no avail.

Lucky for all of them, a distressed scream managed, to the astonishment of the guys, to rival Raven's yells.

"What was that?..." Cyborg wondered aloud, glancing at the only window in the small apartment room they all shared.

"We're about to find out," said Robin matter-of-factly. "Titans go!"

Ruining the effect, the other three just stood there and stared at him.

"Wha…?" Beast boy was the first to ask.

"…." Raven half glared, half stared in mild confusion at Robin. He sighed in annoyance.

"We're the Titans. When I say 'Titans go' we go to the trouble."

This explanation was followed by two 'oh' s of understanding. … Sort of.


"ALIENS! ALIENS! RUN!"

Screams filled the streets now. The first scream had been someone with very good eyesight. Sure enough, there was a large ship hurtling closer and closer towards Earth by the second. Both Cyborg and Beast boy gaped. Raven and Robin simple stared, a bit incredulously.

"Uh…Titans go…" Robin said, somewhat unsurely, still staring at the ship. Raven was the first one to react. Kicking off from the ground, she headed in the direction of the ship, hands already crackling with black magic. Beast Boy stared for a few seconds before realizing that both Cyborg's and Robin's gazes had fallen on him. Quickly turning into a hawk, he followed Raven into the sky. Robin took out a few birdorangs and Cyborg raised his arm to point at the ship.

"What exactly are you doing?..." Robin said in curiosity, watching Cyborg's arm.

"Dunno, actually."

"… Comforting thought," muttered Robin, his head full of pictures of Cyborg's arm detaching and flying up to punch the ship. Shaking his head to clear these ridiculous thoughts, he took aim again.

Raven's magic had enveloped the ship before anyone had seen her move her hands or heard her mantra. Robin glanced back between Raven and Cyborg, but in the moment that his gazed focused on Raven again, a blue light shot up and exploded the ship, sending debris flying in all directions.

"SHIT!" he heard Cyborg curse. "I didn't mean to I swear!" Cyborg said nervously, glancing at Robin, expecting a berating for his stupidity, as the debris fell to the streets, causing panic amongst the by-standers. Robin simply stared at the arm that had gone from arm to plasma cannon to arm again in a time space of four seconds.

"Uhh….That's okay…just clear the streets before anyone gets hurt…" Robin said, still staring at the arm. Cyborg nodded and dutifully ran off.

Beast Boy, who was dodging the falling debris made a dive towards the ground to see what he should do. As he dove he heard a yell from behind him.

"AZARATH METREON ZYNTH—" Raven was cut off as a piece of debris hit her square in the small of her back, driving her right out of the air, and the air right out of her body.

"RAVEN!" Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy yelled in unison. Beast Boy turned his dive right back up into the sky as he rapidly changed into a Pteridactol. As Raven continued to fall, Robin prepared to catch her as she fell. In his panic, the best Beast Boy did was nearly grab Raven's sleeve, but it tore off before he could do anything. With a panicked screech, he dove again. But it was too late. She was two feet above the ground when Cyborg caught her, as Robin petrified and frozen to the spot. Beast Boy landed on the ground and immediately transformed into a human again.

"IM SO SORRY! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was so scared I missed….and…and I made it worse too…" he said, glancing with horror at the cut he had produced on Raven's arm when he tried to grab her sleeve. Falling to his knees, he continued to apologize profusely, now nearly crying.

"It's okay, BB. She'll be okay….Robin?..." Cyborg turned to Robin, adjusting Raven's position in his arms. "Are you okay?"

Robin stood rooted to the spot, staring at something that seemed to be lying on the ground next to several pieces of splintered metal.

"There was….something IN that ship…."
