Okay, really sorry about the late update. This one's short, but I like separating my chapters so it's about one thing at a time. Well, on with the story. This is like a filler...ish.

Chapter 16

Saved!

Beast Boy pinched himself.

"Oww!"

"Are you stupid, Beast Boy?" Raven asked. "Oh, I forgot. You are stupid."

"Hey! But dude... how are we still alive? I thought that bomb thingy would blow us to pieces!"

The green teen checked his head for any bumps and was very happy when he found none. Raven, however, did not look happy at all.

"It would have, but I created a shield at the last second to protect us. I was afraid it wouldn't be strong enough... And we seem to have been separated from Robin, Cyborg, and Kal El by the blast." She looked disappointed in herself, as well as worried.

"Beast Boy... What if it wasn't enough? What if I was only able to protect us? What am I gonna do?"

"Whoah, whoah, whoah. Slow down there, Raven! I've seen your powers, and there's no way it was not powerful enough. Heck, I'd say you're too powerful sometimes. Come to think of it, how come you girls are so strong? You and Star. What a scary combo."

Beast Boy grinned widely, hoping he could cheer his friend up. He hated it when the atmosphere became so heavy with emotions. It was almost hard to breathe.

"You think so? I hope you're right for once... I have to believe that you are."

For once, Beast Boy's jokes had actually helped her out.

"I know so. Now let's go find Cyborg and Robin!"

--------------------

"Daaamn. Who knew such a tiny bomb could pack a punch like that? Reminds me of Star," said Cyborg half-jokingly while checking his system for damage.

"Where's everybody else? I always get left behind... Aw, man! I just remembered! The T Ship must be completely anihilated now! Damn... whose robots were they anyway? Didn't look like anything I've ever seen."

"Cyborg!"

It was a voice the half robot could know from a mile away.

"Robin! You look just fine! How lucky are we?"

"Yeah, I know," replied Robin, slightly out of breath from sprinting all over th place.

"But have you seen the others?"

"No, I've been searching all over for them. They must be alive if we are. We have to keep looking, Cyborg."

"No need," replied a monotone voice.

"Raven!" Cyborg and Robin cried at once.

"Don't forget Beast Boy," said the green boy after he changed from an eagle to his human form.

"Am I glad to see you guys!"

"But I still can't believe that bomb didn't kill us!" cried Cyborg.

"Oh, that's because Raven made a shield around us before it blew up," replied Beast Boy.

"Wow, thanks Raven. We'd be dead now if it weren't for you."

"Don't say that Cyborg," she said quietly.

"Oh, right. Sorry."

"Where's Kal El?" Raven asked while looking around at all of them.

"Looking for me?"

"Kal El! Alright, now we're all good to go. Where'd all the bad guys go?" said Beast Boy, who was very eager to fight now.

"I took care of them all," said Kal El.

"What?"

"You did?" asked Robin, filled with a little suspicion.

"If you don't believe me, see for yourself," he said, and led the Titans to a pile of broken robots.

"You did..."

Robin still could not bring himself to believe him completely.

"Way to go Kal El! You the man!" said Cyborg.

Robin looked around once more. There was nothing but the pile of smashed robots... but he could swear he saw something weird glowing on the ground. He didn't get to investigate further because Kal El reminded him that Starfire might need tending to. He hoped she was better.

"Um... so how are we all getting back?" asked Kal El.

"Easy. Raven can use her power and get us back home in a second."

Robin looked at Kal El with suspicious eyes again.

Well... he is an idiot. But he's seen Raven's powers, and I'm pretty sure we explained what she could do. He should know that she can just transport us all at once... Like I said, I guess. He's an idiot. And a show-off too. Taking down all the robots while I searched for my friends! Hmph.

All his suspicions were cast aside by the anger and jealousy that overtook him. Next time, he would not be shown up by Kal El.

"Robin, are you coming or not?" asked Raven impatiently.

"I'm coming," Robin replied distractedly.

"Well, hurry up man! I can't wait to see Starfire again," Kal El said. He looked like a child waiting to open his Christmas presents. It made Robin's anger double...no triple.

Gah, he's even more annoying now! He's acting so... forward. Just because he beat up some dumb robots, he's acting all cocky! The bastard...

"Yeah... I can't wait either," he said sarcastically.

End of Chapter 16

Next chapter will be up soon, hopefully today.
