Time to expand on the story of Raven and Hiro.
Chapter 15
The titans were losing to the villains, Robin and Cyborg had a plan though and they put it into action. Robin managed to keep Slade busy while Cyborg charged up the sonic cannon, when Cyborg was ready, Robin moved as Cyborg blasted Slade into the wall. Robin then handled Slade. Cyborg ran to help Starfire next, as they initiated a similar plan Servant was out cold. Cyborg went to Beast boy to bring down Red X, while Starfire tried to help Raven beat Sinestro.
No one helped Hiro; he fought on his own against the most powerful villain in the universe, Zero. Hiro managed to fight back, but in no way could he win at this rate, Hiro used every construct he could think of but to no avail. The other titans were busy battling their enemies particularly Sinestro, for some reason he would attack now but he wouldn't attack Raven. "Prepare to lose young lantern." Zero said as he smashed Hiro into a cement wall.
"I won't lose to you!" Hiro yelled as he fought against his extremely powerful foe. "Give up foolish human, you stand no chance. I am far stronger than you could ever be." Zero said as he hit Hiro. The other titans finished off their enemies as it was now six on one, or was it. Zero laughed maniacally as he split into six separate beings and fought each titan. Zero was now weakened but very little, his clones all fought with great strength except the one that fought Raven, they didn't hurt her for some reason.
Hiro managed to defeat the one he was fighting, as he went to help Raven. Zero was being beaten slowly but surely, as soon enough he disappeared, not wanting to lose, his teammates disappeared as well. The titans returned to the tower as they all trained in their own way, Raven and Hiro sparring on the roof, Robin and Cyborg going gear to gear, Beast boy trying to not be caught by Starfire. The rest of the day was uneventful, as they all hoped tomorrow would be better.
The next day Raven and Hiro again went out to the fancy restaurant, Raven in her dress and Hiro in his green lantern tuxedo. They had a good time as they talked about all that had happened yesterday. They had been going out for a month now and both were happy with how things were going. They slow danced for nearly the rest of the night, as Hiro was pretty good at it. surprisingly since he couldn't dance at all otherwise. (He can only slow dance not normal like a party dance or whatever A/N)
The night came to a close as they looked at the stars from the titan's tower roof. "Raven, can I ask you something?" Hiro asked. "You can ask me anything Hiro." Raven replied. "If I were to propose to you, how would you react?" Hiro asked as he looked at Raven. "..." Raven was surprised by this; she never expected it. (May seem fast but my view of the world is messed up A/N) Hiro waited for a reply from the beautiful girl, as he smiled hoping for the best.
"Why do you ask?" Raven finally replied. "Well I just wanted to see how you would react." Hiro said, though truthfully he wanted to know because he kept having dreams of them getting married. "I'm not sure how I would react if you were to ask me I'm guess it would be we should wait or yes." Raven replied as she smiled at Hiro. "Well okay then." Hiro said with a smile.
"Raven to tell you the truth, I've been having a dream about us getting married these past few days, but in each one Zero shows up." Hiro said feeling guilty for lying. (Yeah he's a little goody two shoes I know A/N) "You've really dreamed that?" Raven asked. "Yeah I'm sorry for not telling you the truth." Hiro replied. /That's surprising it sounds just like the dreams I've been having/ Raven thought to herself. (Ooh spooky A/N)
They then went inside, had a goodnight kiss, and then went to their own rooms. Hiro charged his ring going back to his normal uniform as he smiled. The next day all the titans gathered in the main room to see Hiro leaving. "I'm sorry to do this to all of you, but I've got visit some people, I'll be back as soon as I can." Hiro said as he smiled at his friends. "You'll be back if we need you right?" Robin asked, thinking there was no way they could have won against Zero without Hiro. "Yeah just call me on my communicator." Hiro said before he phased out of the tower with his ring.
Hiro flew to New York, where his old friend Kyle was. When he got there he changed back into normal clothing in an alley (Removing his mask as well A/N) as he went towards Kyle's apartment building. When he found Kyle's apartment he knocked. Kyle quickly answered. "Wow wasn't expecting to see you." Kyle said letting Hiro in. "Well I thought I'd visit, so how goes life as a green lantern?" Hiro asked. "It's alright, the corps is having some trouble rebuilding, but you know that." Kyle replied.
"Well how goes it being part of the justice league?" Hiro asked his good friend. "It's alright; the flash and I are good friends. So how is it going with the titans?" Kyle asked. "Umm it's going well but I kind of have a question for you. I wanted to know how you worked up enough courage to propose to Jade." Hiro said. "Why would you want to know that?" Kyle asked in return. Hiro explained to Kyle how he and Raven were dating, and how he was thinking of proposing soon.
"So little Hiro's all grown up." Kyle said jokingly. "Hey don't forget I can still kick your ass." Hiro said pointing out all the times they sparred and Hiro won. "Heh heh you know I was just kidding. Well to tell you the truth I have no idea how I got that courage, but hey you're a smart kid you'll figure it out." Kyle said. Hiro sighed as they talked about all that had happened to them, Kyle was surprised to hear about Zero it was if he knew something Hiro didn't.
"Kyle what do you know about Zero?" Hiro asked surprised by his response. "Umm I don't know anything about him he just seems powerful." Kyle replied. "Yeah that is true he is he's stronger than I'll ever be." Hiro said. "Don't think that, you're strong and I bet you're getting stronger with the titans training, aren't you?" Kyle asked as Hiro nodded. /Hiro's strong, but he's only confident against weak enemies, and he has no confidence against strong ones/ Kyle thought as he sighed.
"So Kyle how is life as Kyle Rayner the artist?" Hiro asked. "A struggle but I'm doing alright, so how's your life as Hiro?" Kyle responded. "There is none, I am Hiro Van Kelvin a green lantern, there is no other life for me." Hiro said. "You need a life that's not one of a super hero, don't you?" Kyle asked. "No, the girl I love is a super hero, my friends are super heroes, and my best friend is a super hero. There's no other way to live." Hiro replied.
"So who's this best friend of yours?" Kyle asked. "You, come on you should know that." Hiro replied. "Heh just had to double check; sorry I couldn't answer your question." Kyle said. "No problem, I'm a bit worried, though I've been through worse." Hiro said, sad over all the bad memories. (Review and tell me if I should post his origin story as another teen titans thing or as a chapter or two in this A/N)
"Well I should be getting back to the tower, see you later Kyle." Hiro said as he went to leave. "Okay then, next time see if you can stay longer." Kyle said. "Okay then." Hiro replied, before leaving the apartment, going back to the alley to change into green lantern. As he willed himself into his green lantern suit he flew to Oa, to visit Ganthet. Hiro arrived as Ganthet welcomed him. "So Ganthet what have you been up to lately?" Hiro asked. "Trying to keep order, and raising the other guardians, it's quite a job Hiro." Ganthet replied. "I bet it is, I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to help rebuild. I also wanted to know if you had any information on Zero." Hiro said.
"Why do you want to know of Zero?" Ganthet asked. "He's been attacking the titans and me; he's stronger than any other villain I've faced." Hiro replied. "There is nothing I know of him sorry." Ganthet lied; truly he knew much about Zero. "Okay then, well is there anyway I can help the corps?" Hiro asked. "Many ways young Hiro, we do need someone to train some of our new recruits." Ganthet replied. "Okay then, I can train them, but if my friends need my help I have to leave." Hiro said. "I understand." Ganthet said as he led the veteran green lantern to the new recruits. (He's been a green lantern a pretty long time trust me A/N)
Hiro was supposed to train a group of ten, no big deal to him. "Okay I'm guessing you already know how to work you're rings, now to find out what constructs you like. All of you attack me, work together to defeat me, and take careful notice of the constructs you mainly use." Hiro said as he began fighting the recruits. Hiro held back a bit, as the ten new lanterns fought him, combining their wills for more powerful constructs. Hiro fell as he was hit with three blasts.
"Good job, now everyone try and remember what constructs you used, make two of them at a time and spar with each other, this will help you get use to combat and using multiple constructs." Hiro said as one of the green lanterns raised their hand. "Yes what do you want?" Hiro asked. "Is it true that you were the one who defeated Sinestra, Sinestro's wife?" The green lantern asked. "Umm yeah that was me." Hiro replied. "So you're Hiro one of the torch bearers?" Another green lantern asked. "Umm yeah I am." Hiro replied.
Soon enough everyone was asking Hiro of his accomplishments. (Yeah he is kind of famous for being A. the youngest green lantern B. the one to defeat Sinestra who may show up later C. one of the torch bearers might be explained later A/N) "Get to training, until you can make triplicates of the constructs you use, then you can ask me questions." Hiro yelled, as the green lanterns quickly started training. Hiro watched as the new lanterns began fighting each other fiercely with their constructs.
/Wow they're pretty good, I'm surprised their still in training. Then again I've been part of the corps for nearly seven years and I'm still learning/ Hiro thought to himself, as the group showed him they could make many different constructs in triplicate. "Okay I guess you win, ask away." Hiro said with a sigh. "Tell us about how you defeated Captain Pain." One of them said.
"I've beaten him nearly twenty times; you'll have to be more specific." Hiro replied. "The one where you're ring was out of charge." One of them shouted. "Oh that one, well we were on a cliff he was throwing a lot of punches that were fast and hard. I jumped off the cliff doing what I could to slow myself down, and then I did a flip in the air, landing in a cave that was in the cliff. I ran deeper inside of the cave, until I came to an exit that leads to another green lantern's house. I asked them for help. I was sure Captain Pain was right behind me; they let me charge my ring, I then went into action. Captain Pain and I then fought in the cave, I managed to win by grabbing his arm with a construct of pliers and I threw him out of the cave as he fell into my net, I then took him to jail." Hiro said making all the recruited lanterns somewhat awe at him.
"Wow you are one of the greatest." One of them said after the story. "No I'm not, I might be a bit better than a few others but there are three great green lanterns, Alan Scott Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner." Hiro replied as Ganthet came in. "Wow usually it takes weeks to make constructs in triplicate when they took a few days, you are better than you give yourself credit for young Hiro." Ganthet said. "There is something of dire importance that I need to talk to you about Hiro." "Well I better be off then." Hiro said following Ganthet.
"There is a new villain out there, killing off many of our members and stealing their rings." Ganthet said. "Wow that doesn't sound good." Hiro said. "I know, but I would like you to help bring him in or exterminate him." Ganthet said. "Will others be working with me?" Hiro asked. "Yes a few people you should know well." Ganthet said as Alan, Hal and Kyle all came in. "This so called villain is gone." Hiro said as soon as he saw the others.
"Not so fast Hiro, this enemy is strong he has his own ring and is very skilled with it, in fact that is why there is four of you, it will be four on three, the three enemies are Sinestro Sinestra and Doctor Ring our new enemy. They all use yellow power rings so Hal are you up to the challenge?" Ganthet asked Hal after stating the mission specs. (If you don't understand why he's worrying about Hal, is Hal's ring can't effect yellow A/N) "Always am and always will be." Hal replied.
"You must hurry though; they are in the Anti-Matter Universe right now, remember to charge you're rings." Ganthet said as the green lantern team charged their rings before leaving. The green lanterns went at high speed going through the bridge as they were immediately attacked by the trio of yellow ring wielders. "You stand no chance at all foolish green lanterns." Doctor Ring said as Hiro attacked him determined to beat him. Alan and Hal teamed up against Sinestro as Kyle took on Sinestra.
Hiro was dead even with Doctor Ring, they were colliding with every construct they could make. "Come now foolish child, thinking you can win is idiotic." Doctor Ring said. "I am not a child!" Hiro yelled in anger as he fought faster. (Ever hear "don't think just do" yeah that's what's happening here A/N)
Kyle was having trouble keeping up with the female ring user. "Come on Kyle you've beaten me before, what's stopping you now." Sinestra said baiting him. "I'm moving a bit slower, I'm sorry I don't think of you as much of a threat." Kyle replied calmly. "Why you, prepare to die." Sinestra yelled charging at Kyle.
Alan and Hal were easily combating Sinestro. "Two on one, this is hardly fair." Sinestro said angrily. "All's fair in love and war." Alan said as he smashed a hammer construct into the korugarian. "Damn you!" Sinestro yelled as he fell to the ground. With Sinestro beaten, Hal went to help Kyle, as Alan went to help Hiro.
"I don't need your help." Hiro yelled as he was fighting with Doctor Ring. "Yes you do Hiro." Alan said as he went to help he was hit by a green construct. "I won't accept you're help, I'm sorry." Hiro said as he was still even with Doctor Ring. "Okay then." Alan said as he helped the other's defeat Sinestra. The three green lanterns were forced to watch while Hiro fought Doctor Ring.
Hiro and Doctor Ring battled for nearly an hour. "I'm ending this now." Hiro yelled. "How are you going to do that?" Doctor Ring asked. Hiro was angry, but he always restrained himself... until now. Hiro released a giant wave of green energy that the other lanterns could barely protect themselves from; Doctor Ring was not that lucky he was blown away by the blast, he lived but he was bruised on every part of his body. Hiro fell afterwards as Kyle caught him.
"I'll take him back to the titans; you all take the anti-lanterns to Ganthet." Kyle said as he took Hiro across the bridge the other two lanterns did as told. Kyle flew Hiro to the tower. When he got there, Raven quickly took Hiro to the medical center after hearing a bit of what happened. Kyle talked to the other titans while Raven made sure Hiro was okay.
"It's good to see you again." Robin said to Kyle. "You know him?" Cyborg asked. "Yeah Hiro and I met a long time ago, when I worked with Batman and he worked with Kyle." Robin said. "Yeah those were good times, though I' see you're no longer a sidekick." Kyle said. "And I never will be again." Robin replied with a smile.
Raven was looking at Hiro, who surprisingly looked fine, but was unconscious. Raven meditating, every few minutes coming out of it to see if Hiro was awake. When Kyle left the other titans came in to see Hiro. "I'm amazed he was able to do that and not look hurt." Robin said. The titans were surprised when Hiro got up. "I'm not sure how I did it myself, but I can guarantee you I'll find out." Hiro said smiling. The rest of the day went normally.
Okay time to explain the really long chapter, I just recently got some books and joined a club to help my writing (I really want to be an author) so this is kind of the end of this story. Before you pull out your pitchforks, I will make a sequel if you want me to, but otherwise this is the end.
