Forever in a CoffinChapter 4: Claudo Tuus Oculi, Ast Agonon Timeo
(Close Your Eyes, but do not Fear)
Recap: Unknown to either of them they were drawing closer to one another. Each instinctively closed their eyes as their lips came in contact.
Electricity ran through their veins as their lips made contact. 'Stop, stop what are you doing!' Yelled Ravens mind, 'What about James!' 'What about James?' Raven retorted. She then proceeded to ignore the pesky voice and full surrender to the increasing passion between the two.
Wrapping their fingers in each other's hair to the point of pain, but neither noticed. All they could think about was getting as close to one another and to never let the sensation stop.
A sweet chaste kiss turned into a passionately bruising one as they clawed at each other. Robin had an arm wrapped around Raven's waist and the other in her hair, cradling her head so it wouldn't hit the hard marble floor. Raven had her arm around his shoulders pulling him to her and the other in his hair pushing his lips harder to hers. Their legs where now entwined and their cloaks, and clothing were now soaked with the soapy water on the floor, but neither noticed or cared.
They finally broke for air, after what seemed like forever to them. With flushed faces, for both the heated kiss as to the lack of air, they stared at each other without really seeing one another. They were both so lost in though to notice anything else.
Robin's thoughts were along the lines of 'Holy shit did I just really kiss Raven! I did didn't I… SON OF A CHICKEN! I just kissed RAVEN! wow! (He says it in a squeaky voice) Hey I guess dreams really do come true!' and he just kept rambling on about, well you know (if not use your imagination).
Raven's emotions thoughts, on the other hand were more like 'how the hell could you just kiss Robin your damn leader, to make things worse!' 'Hehehe you kissed Robin hehehe!' ' Oh no, oh no that's not good now he'll probably hate us forever, and then what about Starfire? Oh no this is just the end of us!' 'All right high fives we did it we kissed oh fearless leader! Woohoo!' 'Um, hello Raven?…RAVEN! Raven now is not the time to zone out we are in the middle of a crisis, if you haven't noticed!' 'Huh, oh that's great wisdom just… great if you need me I'll be out here…. somewhere.' (She's just deep in thought not being a ditz and just zoning out, for the sake of zoning out. (I have nothing against ditz' being one myself, I do zone out for the fun of it too so I mean no offence.)
Raven's thoughts on the matter at hand where 'why, why did I just kiss him. It's not like I like him, I mean he's just my friend and plus I've been with James longer so it's only natural that if I were to fall for someone, so to speak, I would go for James right? It's only logical and the most sensible thing to do. So why did I kiss him and way did it feel that why when I've sort of kisses James a dozen times and never once have I felt such a strong sensation?'
'Unfortunately' for them their thoughts where cut short when they heard the voices of the other titans coming down the hall to begin the morning ritual of tofu vs. meat. As the depth of their situation set in, panic reared it's ugly head as they began scrambling up.
The rush to get up caused Raven to lose her balance on the supper slippery floor and land right on her butt all over again. Robin seeing that they would never get up and clean up in time quickly took a bird-a-rang, seemingly out of nowhere, and sent it flying into the door where it got lodged in the mechanisms of the door, causing it to malfunction and jam the door.
Now as they saw that they were safe for the while they took their sweet time, Robin helped Raven up as mops floated around the kitchen in order to clean up the mess. While Raven controlled the mops and straightened thing out, Robin finished the dishes, just as they finished the other three where on the other side of the door. The other three titans stared in a confused manner at the door, because it didn't open up when they approached. Cyborg then proceeded to try and figure out what was happening to the door.
Meanwhile Raven seized a handful of Robin's shirt and teleported them off to there respected rooms to change. Raven quickly took a clean leotard and cloak and changed. When she had finished she teleported to Robin's room just as he was buckling his utility belt in place. She then laid her hand on his shoulder and teleported them back into the kitchen.
There they straightened themselves out and never once speaking or meeting each other's eyes, they walked to the door and Robin dislodged his bird-a-rang and Raven pulled the door down, with her powers. They were then faced with three shocked titans. Raven took their silence as an advantage and fled the room off to the roof.
Whereas Robin wasn't as lucky and was faced with the other three's questioning looks.
"What? The door was stuck and your noise was annoying her. We should probably fix that so I'll just go and get the supplies. Meanwhile you should eat breakfast, it's on the counter." He called over his shoulder just as he disappeared from sight.
"What was up with that friends?" Asked Star, concerned with her friends odd behavior.
"I don't know Star… I don't know." Said a bewildered Cyborg.
"Yeah that was weird even for Raven," Said BB, "… something smells good!"
"Hey wait for me you! You better not eat them all, you little grass stain!" Cried an Enraged Cyborg.
"I will go and see if anything troubles friend Raven." Star whispered to no one as she flew off in search of Raven.
She then found Raven out on the roof, meditating.
"Friend Raven is something bothering you?"
"No Star, why do you ask?"
"Well you have been quiet these days and also you have slept more and then you have been more pale and I am just worried for your sake and that you maybe sick!" Said a very flustered Star, she had said that all in one breath and it rose in pitch as she ended.
"No, no Star it's not anything serious it's just that I've been… tiered that's all, nothing more."
"Oh thank goodness that everything is alright with you dear friend Raven." Cried the joyful alien girl.
"But please if there is anything in which I maybe of any assistance please let me know for I am here for you friend Raven and I will always be you friend." She said in a very caring voice to show her sincerity.
"Thanks for the offer but I think this is something I would rather keep to my self if you don't mind."
"Of course not friend Raven I only wish to help if you want the help." And with that said she turned to leave just as the alarm rang for the first time in two weeks.
Robin was startled as he heard the now seemingly foreign sound of the alarm blaring, alerting them that there was a villain threatening their beloved city.
He then wondered how he could have missed the fact that they hadn't had a single villain attack in two weeks and that the next time they would attack, now, it would be big.
All the titans ran into the living room to determine the situation. What they saw on the screen didn't worry the other three but to Raven and Robin it meant big trouble. Overload, Plasmas, and Cinderblock where all attacking on the opposite sides of town.
Since they were only five and they were only three villains one of them had to go on their own.
Robin knowing that Raven would probably be able to take on Overload without any trouble and the others would have the trickier part of knocking their opponents unconscious. So the teams where as followed Raven would take on Overload and BB and Cy would take care of Plasmas and finally Star and Robin would go for Cinderblock.
Robin watched as they all moved out as he gave out the standard battle cry of "Titans Go!" He hoped against all hope that his hunch would be proved wrong.
Raven arrived to a scene of utter chaos; people ran screaming away from the warehouse turned into a nightclub, where Overload was sucking the power out of everything mechanical. He roared in an intimidating way as he absorbed the huge T.V. used to project the scene out to the crowd as a close up.
Raven was thankful that it was near the ocean, and for the invention of indoor plumbing. She quickly took advantage of the fact that she had the upper hand, the element of surprise Overload had yet spotted her. She formed a cup like form with her black magic and filled it with water.
"Well Overload you just don't learn, do you! I guess I'll just have to teach you all over again and you should know I won't cut you any slack no matter how slow you are!" She yelled as she flung the water at him with as much force as she could. It hit the pavement with a huge splash.
'How did that happen he was right there a second ago?' She questioned. If it weren't for all the training with Robin, instincts and sheer dumb luck Raven would have been out for the count. As Overload charged at her from behind with newly acquired skill. This was going to be harder that she first thought, 'But nothing I can't handle on my own.' Raven thought confidently.
Cy and BB where fairing a little better not too differently, but better. They had managed to hit Plasmas a good number of times and had evaded most of his attacks.
"You've got to do better than if your going to bet us." Taunted BB as he was launched into the air as a small anteater, by Cy and then in mid air he transformed into a huge whale and body slammed Plasmas. They hit the ground so hard it left a dent and shook the earth. Thankfully BB was on top of Plasmas and so he wasn't hurt. BB then quickly transformed into a hummingbird and flew as fast as he could over to Cy. Cy then delivered the final touch, he loaded his cannon and before Plasmas could even move He shot him in the head. Plasmas slumped to the ground unconscious. The slime seemed to melt away and revealed a sleeping man. They then called in the guards to have him transported to the maximum-security jail.
Just then their communicators rang…
Robin and Star where having the easiest job so far. It seemed that Cinderblocks attention was elsewhere; they had been able to get some strategically placed hit in. Star flew in at great speeds towards Cinderblock letting out a barrage of starbolts along with her eyebeams. She then came within hitting distance of him and attacked physically, them zoomed off again to prepare another attack if necessary. Robin then saw his opening and assaulted Cinderblock with a disk of blinding light to well blind him of a while. They the attacked in perfect unison, they gave it their strongest attack. Star with her starbolts and robin with a powerful bomb.
When the smoke finally cleared Cinderblock lay on the ground unconscious. They left the rest to the police as they came in to take Cinderblock away and lock him up tight. Just then his communicator started to beep…
She had let her guard down for a moment and he had managed to hit her, however lightly and quickly it left her stunned for a good couple of second. When she regained her bearings she was pissed. Letting her rage take a small amount of control she went and tore all of the pipes from the walls and anywhere else and just let it go crazy.
Of course, it hit it's target, how could it have not, if it even hit things that where unintended. Including Raven, although she was thankful for the shock the water brought, it helped her calm down. She then went to pick up the chip, which was all that was left of Overload. On the way over to Overload she dropped her hood, she had the feeling she was being watched but brushed it of as her being paranoid. Her now wet hair stuck to her face and her clothing became cold against her skin she then wished only for the warmth of a shower of her even better her bed.
With those thoughts in her head she reached for her communicator and tapped in the line to talk to all of the others at once.
On the screen appeared the face of Robin, "Hey Robin I'm all done here and I'll be heading home so I'll see you guys there or do any of you need help?"
"No thanks Raven. Star and I just finished here too so we'll also be heading home. How are you BB, Cy?"
"No it's ok dudes we finished too!" Cried a ballistic BB.
"Alright them I'll see-" She was cut of short by her own gasp of surprise, her eyes widening in shock.
The next image they saw was one of Raven's feet off the ground and a pair of silver boots right near her. The last thing they heard out of Raven, before the line went dead was a chocked out "Slade".
The screen went black and static filled their ears, as they stared shocked at the screen where Raven had been only moments ago.
