Chapter 6: Hearts torn
Tobias's eyes snapped open ravens scream still echoing in his ears. He felt hot blood running down his forehead blinding him as it ran into his eyes and he tasted it as it flowed into his open mouth. He felt Blackfire stir beneath him on the concrete, he herd as Robin counted he was almost to ten, then the alien beneath him grabbed hold of his sides and threw him from her. Tobias twisted and flipped before landing softly on his tough calloused feet; Blackfire jumped up off the ground and hovered a few feet in the air breathing heavily. Tobias stood in a fighting pose awaiting his opponents next move, Blackfire tried to regain her breath as she thought of what to try next "this guy's one tough son of a bitch" she thought "he doesn't even look winded, and ill be lucky if all my ribs aren't cracked after that last hit he gave me". In truth she had never faced anyone as tough as this Tobias and for the first time in her life she was worried she might loose a fight. She looked at him standing there the huge gash in his head not phasing him at all "that's it" she thought suddenly, that cut on his head had him blind with all the blood. Honestly now that she thought about it she wondered why he hadn't passed out from blood loss yet, never the less she rushed him. Tobias sensed the rush of air and herds the wind part as his adversary cut through it, she was flying at him at incredible speed hoping to catch him off guard. A small smile crossed his lips; at the last second Tobias threw his steel hard knee with bone crunching force into Backfire's unprotected face. Blackfire did a back flip in mid air, landed face down on the rooftop and lay still.
Robin nodded to Cyborg who cut the mesh of the cage open with his laser, the two of them walked over to the fallen Blackfire and checked her "she's alright, but she'll be out for awhile" said Robin. He turned to Tobias "your going to need stitches for that gash" he said but before the words were out of his mouth Tobias fell to his knees then feinted. Robin lifted Tobias and Blackfire onto a pair of stretchers and he and Cyborg carted them down to the med bay.
Beastboy watched as the two unconscious fighters rolled past him and he felt that suddenly his plan hadn't turned out to be so cool. He looked at the battered body of Blackfire her ribs seemed to be poking out in odd angles, and her face was crushed after Tobias's knee had hit it like a sledge hammer. He felt terrible he had to make it up to her "all this just because she said I looked like a moldy ape" he whispered under his breath, he watched as everyone walked away Starfire hovering over her sister and Raven holding Tobias's hand as he was pushed down to the med bay. The next few days passed by quietly, Tobias had gotten up the day after the fight and was as strong as ever. Blackfire on the other hand was taking time to recover, she woke up occasionally and when she did Beastboy was there to talk to her and take care of anything she needed.
Tobias was walking past the med bay when he herd a groan from inside, walking in he saw Blackfire still asleep but when he looked at Jinx's bed she was sitting up and rubbing her head "where…am I" she said looking around. Then she saw Tobias and she ran forward grabbing him in a hug and kissing him in her usual way, Tobias was both stunned and caught by surprise therefore taking him a moment to realize Raven was standing in the door behind him. He forced Jinx off him and whirled around to look at her, Raven stood there hot tears flowing into her amethyst eyes she turned and ran. Tobias ran after her leaving a very confused Jinx sitting on the hospital bed, "ok…" she said "this is going to be interesting" a small smile on her face she got up and walked out the door.
Raven ran into her room she could hear Tobias running after her, grabbing her special mirror she jumped into it and vanished. Tobias rushed into Ravens room "Raven it's not what you think!" he stopped she wasn't there, that was impossible he had just seen her run in here. Her bathroom light was off and the room was completely empty, he stood there for a moment then backed out into the hall. He walked into his own room where he stopped then abruptly screamed and smashed his fist into the wall, Robin appeared in his doorway.
"You wont find her by screaming and wrecking stuff" he said, although he knew Tobias could rip him apart without breaking a sweat Robin wasn't afraid of his friend even in the mood he was in. Tobias slowly turned to face Robin tears running down his face,
"Why did I have to bring her here? Why couldn't I have just dropped her off at some hospital?" Robin looked at Tobias and tried to say something but Tobias raised his hand "don't" he said, Robin nodded then left. Walking down the hall Robin bumped into Cyborg who was on his way up to see what had caused all the noise.
"Hey Robin, what was all that banging and yelling?" he asked, Robin pointed back at Tobias's door
"Tobias and Raven just had a big misunderstanding; I was watching the security cameras and saw it." Now Raven is gone and Tobias can't find her, Cyborg looked at the closed door and then at Ravens open one he walked into Ravens room and saw the little mirror laying on the ground. He knew better than to touch it but he also thought he knew where Raven was, when he went back into the hall Robin was gone. He knocked on Tobias's door, when there was no answer he just spoke knowing Tobias would hear him.
"If you want to know where she is look in her mirror" was all he said then left. Inside his room Tobias listened as Cyborg walked away, when he was sure the hall was empty he opened his door and walked back into Ravens room. Going over to her big dressing table he looked into the large dark mirror, all he saw was his own sad face looking back at him his normally beautiful eyes red and puffy from crying. He was about to go tell Cyborg he was an ass when his foot touched something on the floor, looking down he saw a small hand mirror. He picked the mirror up and looked into it, immediately he was enveloped by a dark energy and he felt like he was falling. Abruptly he landed on a rocky hard surface, dusting himself off he stood up. He seemed to be on one of hundreds of rock islands floating in what appeared to complete emptiness. "Ok" he said looking around "this is…weird", a sound behind him caused him to whirl around "Raven?" he asked no won. Laughter at his back made him spin around again, this time he saw Raven wearing a pink cape, when he saw her he grabbed her by the shoulders "Raven I swear Jinx just jumped on me I was completely caught by surprise!" Raven just laughed like a little girl and slipped out of his grasp, she backed up a few steps and then pointed over his shoulder. Tobias turned around and for the first time in his life was caught by surprise as a fist hit him square in the face. From the ground once his vision cleared he looked up to see…Raven! Standing over him now wearing a green cape.
"You creep!" she screamed, "How could you do something like that after I opened up to you?" Tobias was more than a little stunned to say the least, before he could say anything there were two Ravens standing above him one in green and one in pink. The pink one laughed again,
"Look at his face Brave!" she said "he looks like a cat that's been dropped in water" she laughed so hard she fell over. The one in green however looked like she had ice in her spine,
"Just get out of here" she said "none of us want anything to do with you" she turned her back on him and started to walk away. Tobias stood up,
"Where is she?" he asked in calm but commanding voice, the Ravens turned back to him "she doesn't want to see you" the pink one giggled,
"And I'm not letting you anywhere near her" said the green one "none of us are. Suddenly there were at least a dozen Ravens surrounding Tobias all in different colored capes. "Just take the exit and don't ever come back" they all pointed at a glowing archway about 100 feet away, Tobias was helpless he couldn't fight them they were Raven. Taking a deep breath he walked off and without a backward glance stepped through the archway.
He found himself back in Ravens room where he walked into his own room opened his closet and began searching for clothes. A few minuets later he was dressed in a tight black muscle shirt, black military pants and his heavy black boots. He clasped on his two belts to form the x across his hips, and slipped two black sweat bands onto his upper for arms. He walked down the stairs and into the living room; Beastboy and Blackfire were sitting on the couch together he walked past them and out the door. Down in the garage he climbed onto his motorcycle and started the engine, he felt as another body climbed on behind him knowing who it was he pulled back the throttle and the bike took off.
Speeding through the dark that posed him no threat Tobias rode into the depths of jump city Jinx holding tightly to him for fear of falling off. Just like Raven she marveled at the structure of his body and ran he hands and fingers over the tight hard muscle eagerly. Jinx whispered something in his ear and Tobias nodded and turned his bike in the direction she pointed.
Back at the tower Cyborg stood in Ravens doorway looking down at the mirror on the floor. Finally he walked over and picked it up; in a matter of seconds he was back in that strange dimension that was Ravens mind. He saw the ones he remembered from his last visit and they pointed him to the one he was looking for, the real Raven sat in a shadowy spot all alone. He walked over to her and sat down,
"Raven I know what you think and your wrong" he said "Tobias didn't cheat on you" she didn't look up or even acknowledge that he was there. Cyborg stood up "come on Rae, let me take you home" she looked up at him finally her face still stained from crying. She nodded and took his hand then the two of them walked to the archway together.
When they got back to her room they went to the living room where Robin and the others were waiting. Robin looked up a worried expression on his face "guys Tobias is gone" he said "Beastboy and Blackfire said he walked past them about 20 minuets ago without a word and took off on his bike.
"And Jinx is missing as well" said Starfire from the couch. Raven was quick to reach the solution to the mystery "Tobias ran away after what happened and Jinx must have followed him, well I'm not going to let that little bitch take my tiger away from me! Soon she's going to find out just what happens when you toy with my emotions" Ravens face became an image of pure hatred and malice as dark energy enveloped her and her eyes burned red…
