Unspoken
Cyborg watched as Raven's winged form flew away to the west, slowly her black silhouette was absorbed by the setting sun. Her strange new appendages seemed to be fully working, Cyborg had seen Raven's powers do many strange things but wings where definitely a new trick. Her cloak along with her communication device lay on the Towers roof. Its small red light was blinking to indicate an incoming transition. Cyborg bent over and picked the flashing communicator then clicked it on, Robin's voice cracked through,
"Raven where the hell have you been, we could have been under attack! You're lucky this was a false alarm, get back to the commons room and give me a full report, over." Cyborg waited for him to stop speaking then answered the transmission,
"It's me man, Raven's long gone. Somehow she sprouted wings and flew west, she said BB took off too, she didn't say where he went though so your guess is as good as mine." There was a pause then Robin responded,
"I think I have an idea where he is." Cyborg heard Starfire crying in the back ground, "I don't want to tell you over the radio. Come to the commons room and we'll explain what happened, over and out." The light stopped blinking and the com clicked off. After starring at the setting sun for several more moments, Cyborg turned away and ran back into the tower.
Thousands of questions assaulted his mind as he ran though the dark hallways, but no answers echoed in response. His mechanical legs cranked faster and faster, he kept trying to keep his mind off the possibility that something might have happened to Beast Boy. His one true friend in the whole world might be gone, the gears and wires worked feverishly as he dashed down a stair well. Raven might have known, she was psychic after all, that could have been why her powers had been going all haywire. Cyborg shook his head, he couldn't assume that BB was dead, he might still be ok, and there still might still be a chance. When Cyborg stepped through the door leading into the commons room all hope he had retained slipped through his fingers. Starfire was sobbing uncontrollably in the corner, Robin was trying to comfort her but he couldn't think of any thing that would ease her mourning. Projected on the giant screen he and Beast Boy had spent so many happy hours images flashed. His belt, splashed with blood. His torn clothing, ripped to shreds. Then his body, Cyborg wanted to look away but his eyes where locked on the screen in horror. It seemed impossible that earlier that day BB had sat on this couch and looked at the television that would display his own death. Then it showed Terra, she looked different, short hair, different clothing, but it was unmistakably her. A building was imploding on itself behind her. She was smiling. Photos of collapsing buildings flashed in sequence, photos of people running in fright from the rampaging Terra. Cyborg's tearing eyes curled into a glare.
Then a face of an old man appeared on the display, he had four large bleeding cuts running parallel to one another across his face. His cold blue eyes glared down at Robin when he spoke,
"Long time no see. I'm sorry to have to be the one to deliver this news to you Robin, but I'm afraid I was one of the few that where present when Terra attacked. She's killed several of my men and numerous civilians, including your friend the Beast Boy. We tried to stop her but…" Hunter pointed to the scratches across his face, "She has accomplices this time, and they're just as deadly as she is."
"Does this have any thing to do with Slade?' Robin thought first of his arch enemy as always.
"No, her attacks where sporadic and uncalculated, just mindless destruction, Slade was always precise in his strikes." Robin almost seemed disappointed
"I though that Terra had joined our side." Starfire managed to speak through her tears, but not without extreme difficulty
"I though Terra was dead." Cyborg was still in shock, and he seemed to be speaking to no one.
"Both assumptions that have been proven false, she's now fleeing West with her partners in crime, I suggest you run her down before she is successful in escaping."
"Hay man just who the hell are you." Cyborg's shock quickly turned to rage, he didn't know this guy and he had ordering then around. Truthfully Cyborg would have welcomed a fight or a chance to take out his rage on any thing, right now he had Hunter to yell at.
"His name's Hunter, he's a general in the US marines. He helped in the funding and creation of Titan's Tower. But that was the last I ever saw of him, what are you doing back in town Hunter?" Robin was the most in control of his emotions, but then again Beast Boy and him had always been acquaintances, never friends.
"Lets just say I came to do some weapons testing. This new turn of events however has redirected my attention to the safety of this cities people. My men have taken many casualties and are busy helping survivors. So I need you to take Terra down, I'm calling in a favor Titans." Robin looked back at Cyborg. His metallic fist quivered in rage and his red eye burned in a glare. Robin turned back to the screen,
"We except, we'll bring her to her knees." Robin pushed a button and cut the transition. He put out his hand and helped Starfire to her feet,
"Ready Star?" She didn't, even turn to look at him. Her irises burned bright green. The tears hissed away as the intense heat evaporated them.
"I am ready, let us go." Green flames licked the outer edges of her eyes, Robin nodded.
