Second chapter up! So far, no new pairings... oh wait, I might add RavenxRedX...
With Raven's group...
Raven and her friends, draped over "Cinderblock"'s shoulder and arms, entered the building. When they were out of earshot and view of the guards, Cinderblock put the other 4 Titans down. Raven thanked him. They kept on walking, Raven trying to find any traces of anyone. Raven walked around, reaching out as if grabbing for something, then stopped at a large tunnel. "Here," she said. As they walked on, Raven suddenly stopped. Her demonic ears picked up sounds of 3-no, 4-pairs of feet running at them. "Someone's coming," she said. Everyone got back to their positions. "Cinderblock" waited at the end of a tunnel. Sure enough, four other villains came running in-Doctor Light, Kyd Wykkyd, Jinx, and Mammoth. Jinx's pink eyes seemed to cloud over at the sight of the limp Kidflash, but she quickly got over it. "Nice catch, Cinderblock." she complimented "Cinderblock" to cover up her sorrow. Kidflash's face slightly grinned maliciously. Thankfully, no one noticed. "Cinderblock" nodded, grumbling. "Thanks," he said. Everyone stopped running. "Hey, since when did you talk?" Mammoth said, scratching his head. Raven gave them the signal, and everyone literally popped out of their positions, Jericho still in Cinderblock's head. The villains smiled with realization. "Ah," Jinx said. "We have visitors." Kidflash began to run around her immediately, expertly dodging her hex shots. Jinx lost comtrol over her powers. "AAAAAAAAH! Kidflash, You can't do this to me!" she cried, beginning to be lifted off the ground from the force of running. "Oh yea? Who says?" Kidflash's voice surrounded her. "Kidflash, I'm sorry! I'm sorry, ok! Now let me down!" Jinx was on the verge of tears. Kidflash made no attempt in slowing down. Finally, he stopped abruptly. Jinx was thrown into Pantha, who caught her and chunked her across the hallway. Jinx crashed hard into the cement wall, then fell. She opened her eyes. The last thing she saw was Kidflash standing above her, smirking, before she blacked out completely.
Raven took care of Kyd Wykkyd. "Nice to see you again," she mocked. "You know how strange it is, how alike we are, yet how opposite of each other we are at the same time?"She turned into a raven and grabbing him in a large claw. She screeched, bringing him closer to her raven face, regarding him with a cold, blood-red eye. The look was enough to shake even Kyd Wykkyd. His own bloody-red eyes turned up with fright and surprise. Raven threw him into Jinx before turning back into herself. She was quite drained after that, and fell through the air to the ground. Kidflash, seeing this, rushed to her and caught her just in time. Raven found herself in Kidflash's arms as he knelt apart from the battlefield. Propping herself up with an elbow, she rubbed her head."You ok?" Kidflash asked, not wanting to let her go. He hugged her closer to his chest. Raven, noticing this, blushed but didn't make a move to stop him. "Fine," she said. Kidflash put her down gently. Raven staggered, grabbing his arm for support, before floating off to help the others. Kidflash watched as the dark muystic floated off. 'She's so...beautiful...' Kidflash ran after her.
Doctor Light and Mammoth were easy to fight. Pantha threw Mammoth into a nearby wall, then into Kyd Wykkyd. Jericho jumped into Jinx's head, making her wake up, and threw hex shots at Doctor Light's light bulb on his chest. Doctor Light was immediately beaten, and Jericho allowed Jinx to have her body back. No sooner did she get her body back did Raven grab her with a claw and squeeze the pink out of her already-pale cheeks. "4 down, 5 million more to go," Raven monotoned sarcastically as she carelessly threw Jinx onto the ground. "Hehehe...yea," Kidflash said, smiling at her sarcasm. Jericho jumped back inside Cinderblock's body and they followed Raven's lead once again.
With Starfire and her crew...
Starfire held up a green glowing hand, providing her group with barely enough light, as she lead the others. They swept through trees with agility, and as soon as they could not get any closer to the Brotherhood of Evil's headquarters without being seen, Herald raised his trumpet to his lips and blew. A warp-hole appeared. It sucked them all inside and landed them right in front of theBrotherhood of Evil, just as Raven and her crew burst in. All the villains inside looked up, shocked. Both groups of heros gawked at each other, until Raven regained her senses and greeted Star. "Nice to see you alive," she looked genuinely relieved as she allowed Starfire to crush her into a bear hug. Raven turned to Mas, watching the advancing villains closing in slowly out of the corner of her eye. "Mas, get Menos back to reality and see if you two can find out how there time-stopping machine works. We will hold off the villains for you." Mas saluted. "Yes yes yes Senorita Raven!" and he was off. Raven shouted her battle cry, and the manority of heros dashed up against the villains. As everyone battled, no one, not even Raven, noticed Mas rush to his brother's side. Fearfully, he placed a hand on his brother's frozen one. "Menos!" Mas cried softly.
In a small, unnoticable flash of light, Menos came to life. "Ah, Mas, how good it is to feel my brother at my side again!" the two brothers threw up their chubby arms. "Hooray!" they cried. Their moment of reunion was short-lived when a mis-aimed shot fromStarfire was sent their way. "Oh, it is of my badness, Mas and Menos! Please, proceed!" she called, before turning her attention to Psimon. Mas remembered his orders. "Menos, we must not waste anymore time! We must find out how the body-freezing thing works! Then, we can unfreeze our fellow comrades and replace them with the villains!" Menos nodded. "Right!" and they were off.
The two chubby brothers began to press random buttons. Mas finally noticed a button off to the side. "Menos, press that!" Mas pointed. Menos pressed it and all the heros trapped were freed. Everyone stretched their muscles. "Ohhhhh," they moaned as their muscles slowly came back in shape. Hotspot came over by Argent. "May I escort the lady back down into the disgracefully violent battlefield?" he smiled and winked. Argent giggled and took his hand, and the two jumped down. Robin watched the two. He shook his head as the two blushed. 'Hehehe...love, such a weird concept...' He was interrupted by Raven. "Are you gonna join the battle or be the referee?" she teased, before taking his arm and flying down with him. Robin gave her arm a soft squeeze as they landed. "Thanks," he said, smiling. Raven nodded, then flew off, just in time to push Kidflash out of Madame Rogue's stretchy arms.
Finally, everyone had a villain in their hands. Pantha looked down at the struggling Madame Rogue in her hands. "I think Mas and Menos have already found out the way towork the time-freezing machine," she said. Mas and Menos came over. "Yes yes yes we have!" they cried. They ran back over to the buttons as the heros began to come forward with their prisoners.
Finally came the Brain's turn. "Everyone, watch, for this is the moment that we have all workedour poor butts offfor!" Raven said in her low but loud voice. everyone cheered and were silent as they watched Beast Boy throw the Brain onto the platform. Mas pressed the button, and with a huge loud of pale smoke, the Brain was frozen. Everyone was silent, then they cheered. Kidflash came over to Raven. "Well, job done, I guess," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. "What, hungry?" Raven teased. Kidflash blushed. "Maybe a little,"he said. "You know, I had a weird feeling when I threw Jinx onto the platform," Kidflash looked down. Raven placed a comforting hand on his shoulder."Ever occured to you that you might like Jinx?" Raven suggested. Kidflash's head jerked up. "No way!" he yelled. Raven smirked. "Right," she said.Kidflash looked down, blushing, and said, "I like someone else." Raven shook her head slowly. "I won't push you to tell me who it is," she said, "but naturally, I do want to know who it is..." Kidflash smiled. "I'll tell you later," he said. Raven nodded. "Thanks," Kidflash added. "Your welcome. Trust me, I know," Raven looked down for a moment, then looked back up. The two stood in a comfortable silence.
Beast Boy danced up to the platform where the Brain was frozen, giddy with happiness. Putting an arm around the frozen robot, Beast Boy smiled, his eyes upside-down U's. "Get it? He's brain-freezed!" he joked, laughing at his own joke. Everyone shook their heads and groaned. "Will Beast Boy ever realize that the only thing his jokes do is to make me want to murder him with a frying pan?" Raven monotoned, loud enough so that everyone could hear. Everyone was silent, then laughed. "Now THAT...was...FUNNY!" Kidflash managed between rasps of laughter. Raven smiled triumphantly at Beast Boy. Beast Boy just swaggered off, too happy about going home to care.
Back at home, in the Titans Tower, everyone was sprawled all over the place. Raven laid her head on Kidflash's chest and sighed deeply. "Man, it's so hard to believe that the whole Brotherhood of Evil crisis is over," she said, closing her eyes. Kidflash placed a big hand on her back. "Mmm..." he replied, savoring the feeling of Raven's head on his chest.
Little did they know that a pair of masked eyes was watching them jealously...
The alarm rang a little while after they had all come over to the Titans Tower.Raven ran over to the screen and typed something.Raising her head to the screen, theysaw a picture of the crime-doer. "Oh, just another crime-doer, nothing too hard, since we have all of you here..." Raven turned and smiled, a genuine smile, at all the Titans before her. Everyone nodded and cheered (who knows why?) before they filed out of the tower.
When they came to the crime site, they saw that the crime-doer was a well-equipped, ruthless-looking robber. "Wow, look at Ol' Toughy," Bumblebee said sarcastically as she lazily hovered in the air beside Raven. Raven smiled. "Oh, but don't worry," she smirked as she saw all the Titans in their positions as the robber saw themandjust stood there, looking dumb-founded. "He won't try to resist when he sees what he's up against."
Yes, yes, that's the end. Wait, I mean-ahem-Yes yes yes that's the end! Hehehe... So, did it suck? Did it rock? Reviews! I'm starting another story similar to this (kinda), and I wanna know if I can make it any better...and Yea, I'm not going to do anything about Robin's crush on Raven in this story. You haven't found out yet? Wow! I should make things more obvious...hehehe cya!
