Hello there and thank you for the reviews! Oh and also at the end of the last chapter some parts were supposed to be in italics for flashbacks but didn't turn out that way when I posted 'em, so it might have been a bit confusing. My apologies.
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans however if the real owners were to give it to me as a birthday present I wouldn't say no…
On with the show…
The Pendant
Chapter III: Beware
Surprisingly this morning Starfire was not woken up by the sound of the titans alarm or the distant sound of two immature teenagers fighting over what type waffles should be served at breakfast. No, today it was the good old sound of her communicator's You-Have-Had-A-Message-For-3-Days-and-havn't-picked-it-up buzzer. She sighed and got out of bed. She flipped the communicator on and checked her message. It wasn't from the Titans; no it was a personal message. She let it play and then sighed.
"Robin is going to be very angry"
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRStarfire walked down the halls of the immense tower and down 3 flights of steps. Right in front of the main room she luckily ran into just who she was looking for.
"Robin! Good morning!" Starfire exclaimed
"Morning Star" Robin said as he reached for the button to open the main room's door.
"No wait! I must speak to you for a minute" Starfire said, throwing herself in front of the button
"Okay Star, shoot"
"Shoot? I do not believe I wish to shoot anyone Robin…"
"No Star, it's a saying. It just means: go ahead and tell me"
"Oh. Well you see I have very important business to attend to on Tameran and I was wondering if I have permission to go there for a few days"
"Are you kidding me? You heard Bruce last night-someone wants to destroy the city! You can't just leave now!" Robin shouted
"But Robin, it's only for a few days! I really must-"
"No Star, we have to protect the city"
"I am quite aware of this Robin. Though you may think so I am not stupid. I understand my duties. What I have to do on Tameran is very important to me and if you cannot understand that then the Robin I knew has truly changed. For the worse" With that Starfire flew down the hall in the opposite direction
"Where are you going?" Robin shouted
"I think I'll surprise Galfore and leave now for Tameran. Goodbye Robin"
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR "Kori?" Starfire's little brother Ryand'r tugged on the edge of her skirt"What is it Ryan?" Starfire asked as she gazed off into the tamerainien sunset
"What's gonna happen to us now?" Ryan asked, brushing one of his long red bangs out of his eye
Starfire bent down so she was eye to eye with her 5-year-old brother "Things are going to be very different now that mother and father are…gone. You will be going to a private school on the outskirts of the city. I'm going to a planet called earth to fight crime with teenagers my age"
"When will I see you again Kori?" He asked
"I do not know my little brother, but I will miss you very much" She said wrapping her arms around him in a hug. Ryan sniffled
"I-I'll miss you too Kori"
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIt was raining very hard that day in Gotham city. Richard didn't care.
"Time to go Richard" Bruce said, putting a hand on the 4-year-old shoulder
Richard walked up to his parent's grave and whispered something and then bolted back to the warm car. Bruce got in the seat next to Richard and handed him a towel to wipe his soaking hair.
"What'll happen to me now Bruce?" Richard asked
Bruce smiled "you're going to live with me. I'm going to raise you like you were my son. In fact I have the adoption papers on my desk waiting to be filled out"
Richard shook his head "I don't want to be adopted. They may be dead but they're still my parents"
"Alright. You'll be my ward then. How's that?"
Richard smiled "good"
"And how does a cup of hot cocoa and ice cream sound?"
Richard beamed "Great!"
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"Tofu-fruity's we. Love. You!" Beastboy sang the annoying jingle almost as loud as humanly possible as he poured some of his new favorite cereal into a bowl
"Meat meat meat, meat meat meat, Mad Mike's Meaty O's can't be beat!" Cyborg sang as loud (if not louder)
Raven snapped her book shut "If you don't stop singing those ridiculous jingles I will make it so you can't eat anything, let alone your precious cereal, without the help of a tube"
"Uh, heh…did I mention you look great today Raven?" Beastboy said
"Um yeah, blue is really your color!" Cyborg added
In a few minutes Robin came through the door, a frown in as always.
"Hey dude have you seen Star today?" Cyborg asked as he chewed his meaty cereal
"Yeah man, we haven't seen her anywhere" Beastboy said, mouth equally full
"She went to Tameran for something" Robin grumbled as he pulled out his box of disgusting bran cereal "hey, who used all the milk?"
"Tofu-boy here shoved it done the toilet," Cyborg grumbled
"We still have soy milk left!" Beastboy said with a smile as big as a rainbow
Robin rolled his eyes "I'll go buy some more good old cow milk, thanks"
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRobin walked into the grocery store and found his way to the dairy section where he picked out two cartons of milk and a Beastboy-proof lock for the refrigerator in an aisle nearby. He bought the 3 items and headed out of the store. He decided to take the long route home, walking through the main square. He stopped to look up at the big screen TV that currently had news blaring throughout the square.
"And tonight the ruthless criminal Two-Face has been spotted in downtown Metropolis…" The newscaster spoke the words Robin cringed to hear.
Robin put his finger on the gun he had in his pocket ready to sell to the used weapons store.
"I better sell this really quickly," Robin said, racing off.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRBlack as night the ninja crept with superior stealth. In a dark alleyway the soldier left the warning message Ras has told him to leave. With a gallon of lighter fluid he spelled the words out. He then took a match, threw it on the liquid, and ran off into the night, leaving the message that would drive fear into the hearts of the citizens of Gotham.
BEWARE OF WHAT LIES IN THE SHADOWS.
To be continued…
Since the chance of me getting the Teen Titan company for my birthday is very slim a review would be just as good (my birthday is tomorrow, Thursday! Kudos to whoever guesses how old I'm gonna be)…
