One Heck of a Ride

It was a Dark a gloomy day, much like the ones on Azarath. She felt right at home on these kinds of days. As she stood on top of Titan's Tower, Raven meditated, something she had to do to keep her powers in check and her father imprisoned. As she was meditating, Raven felt a presence, a dark presence. She opened her to see a dark portal opening up in the clouds above her. "What in Azarath's name is that?" she muttered to herself as a head popped out of the portal. It had four eyes and black head shaped something like a pterodactyl's head. As it wiggled it's way out of the portal Raven realized what it was.

Sirens and alarms were going of everywhere. Robin had just finished one of his grueling workout sessions and was in the middle of taking a nice, hot shower. "Crap" he said to himself. "Every time, every freaking time, I take a shower, some bad guy has to rob a bank or something! Can't they just wait till I'm done, just once?" He raved as he turned off the water, got out of the shower and quickly got dressed in his bright suit that earned him the nickname Traffic light. He stormed down the hallway to the main room where their big screen TV was. Their TV was hooked up to one of the most sophisticated monitoring systems in the world, second only to the Watchtower's system. As Robin walked in the room, he didn't even turn to look at the television. He didn't have to. Outside the tower was the biggest, bad ass bird he had ever seen.
"Titan's Go!" Robin shouted as pterodactyl Beast Boy with Cyborg in his claws, a flying Starfire, and a levitating Raven recklessly attacked the 50 foot beast head on. All Robin could do was stand on top of the tower and throw some bombs here and there to cover his friends. Since the fight was in midair over water, he was pretty much useless. He hated being useless. I was the worst feeling in the world for him. He watched and studied the bird's actions and reactions to the various attacks. Starfire and Cyborgs attacks seemed to be moderately effective but it seemed to absorb Raven's energy attacks. "This could be a problem," he thought. "Raven seems to be undoing whatever damage Cyborg and Starfire are doing." "Raven," he shouted into his radio. "Get back at once, your energy attacks aren't wor..." Just then the black bird right over his head with a enraged Raven hot on its tail. The beast changed coarse and flew straight up, and caught Raven in its talons. Robin watched in horror as the great bird started crushing her. "Cyborg, get her out of there! Starfire come and pick me up!" He shouted into the radio. As Beast Boy brought Cyborg in shooting range, Starfire speed to the tower's roof and picked Robin up by his shoulders. Cyborg aimed and shot his cannon at the beast's talon.

"Booyah!" He shouted as his shot effectively released Raven its crushing grip.

"Drop me and attack it now!" Robin shouted, thinking, "This is going to be one heck of a ride." Starfire nodded and complied without question. She trusted him completely, not realizing her action had sent him to his doom. Robin moved his arms and legs in position much like a skydiver's position so that he could catch up with Raven. Problem was, he didn't have a parachute. His mind was focused on one thing and one thing only saving Raven. Once he caught up with, what looked like, her lifeless body, he positioned his body between the ocean and her body hoping it slow them down and maybe cushon the impact for her. Then he shouted into his communicator, "Guys, a little air support please. Cause I can't fly. At all." Now Starfire realized what she had done and rushed to saved the boy she loved, but she didn't have prayer to get there in time, not even with her speed. She watched in horror as Robin vanished into a bright light.

OOOOOHHHH! Mysterious. I guess you'll have to wait till next time to find out what happened.
