Oh, my this chapter is hella short. I apologize, but I really had nothing more to add. I wanted to add a chapter a day and I couldn't decide completely who I wanted to use in the final battle. So I've narrowed it down to the four villains that I'd really like to use. Please vote in your review.
Not much from Starfire or Cyborg, but Raven and Beast Boy play a part.
Enjoy, and don't forget to review!
The weeks drifted by slowly. Robin had regretted what he said, of course, days later. The unformed titans had become recluses, rarely coming out from their homes.
Raven had returned to her apartment and only came out for food. How someone could last so long in such a destroyed apartment, Robin couldn't begin to understand.
Beast Boy crawled back to his cardboard box and slept most of the day. He had once even been taken by Animal Control and put in a shelter.
Cyborg returned to the island, and completed the building. It was an eye-popping tower. It was shaped like a 'T', and despite its odd structure, looked stronger and sounder then any building in the city. He had never seen him come out, except for the one time he saw him carrying loads of furniture and supplies on a large boat to the island.
But Starfire was no where to be found. He searched the hardest for her, but it was as though she had left the face of the planet.
Not too unlikely, considering the fact that she is an alien, he thought to himself bitterly.
Even though he had wanted to come to Jump to work solo, he had made fast friends with the four, even Raven, and missed them terribly. Once on his rounds, he had passed the box where Beast Boy was sleeping, in the form of a dog.
He had raised his head and looked at him with the saddest eyes he had ever seen. And not the puppy-dog eyes, but real, sorrowful and frightened eyes. They looked straight through Robin's heart, and seemed to be saying:
Why?
Robin reached out his arm and tried to speak to him, but the dog-who-was-Beast-Boy turned away and jumped into the air. From there he turned into a bird, who gave him one last regretful look before flying away. He screeched in a bird's voice, but it was not the threatening bird scream he usually gave off. It was a sad song, sung by a lonely, scared, and confusedperson.
He had turned sadly on his heel and continued downtown. It had been at least a week since then, and he hadn't seen the changeling since. He once caught Raven's gaze as she was coming into her building, carrying a large brown bag. Her eyes were understanding, but resentful at the same time. She said nothing, but he knew what she was saying to him, as though the words entered his mind.
You don't know how lucky you are to be able to have friends. And when you get them, you push them away, She had seemed to be saying.
His head was hung, and he couldn't get the picture of Beast Boy's eyes out of his head, the sad screech, or the words burned into his mind by the dark girl's look. So in thought, in fact, that he walked right into two burly men.
"Sorry, wasn't looking where I was going," He mumbled, and began to walk away. But the men had other plans for him. They grabbed him by the arms and dragged him deep into an alley. Robin struggled, but these men were not all brawn and no brain.
They managed to snag his belt and disarm him faster then anyone he had ever fought before. "What's going on?" He protested as they opened a cellar and threw him into it.
One of the men rolled his eyes at the Boy Wonder. "The boss will see you soon," He grumbled in a gruff voice. They then shut the door and encased him in darkness.
CLIFF HANGER!
So yes. I couldn't decide who I wanted to use, so I added a little prologue to the final chapter.
Beast Boy's eyes...Wow. Even just writing that, it made me want to cry. Then again, I'm a little more emotional this time of month...LOL.
And Raven signifies that Robin took for granted what she thought she could not have. She understands him, but at the time, is so, so very resentful of how he pushed away the one thing she wanted more than anything.
I also realized I spelled Azarath wrong in the last chapter, sorry!
Ok, for the final battle:
a. Joker - I have a good story line for him, so I'm leaning towards him.
b. Slade - To be honest, Slade was introduced in further episodes, and it might ruin the fact that this is set at the beginning of the Titan story.
c. A made up character - One I've made up on my own. Credits to StarrGoddess for giving me this idea. (Thanks!) Ideas for this character can be submitted in your review, too.
d. Mumbo - I still really like him. Although I probably couldn't use him, because, again, he was introduced later. Oh well.
