I dedicate this chapter to ravengal, who has been the only person to review to this story (so far!)
Chapter Two: Get Your Torches, Everyone!
Back in the main room, all that the two teams of Titans heard was screaming.
"HA! I knew that they wouldn't get out of that without losing it!" Aqualad muttered in a sinister voice.
Shadow and Nightmare bolted into the main room, Nightmare breathing heavily, Shadow not. (Shadow doesn't breathe, you'll find out more about the two of them later…) Both looked terrified.
The two were screaming and yelling stuff incomprehensibly. But the basic gist of their yelling was "SAMARA GOT RAVEN!"
So, naturally, BB starts freaking out too, yelling, hyperventilating, the whole nine yards.
"WE HAVE TO SAVE RAVEN AND GET SAMARA!" yelled Speedy.
"SI!" yelled Mas and Menos.
"LET'S GO!" yelled Robin, always the leader.
"WAIT! We need light!" some sensible person yelled.
Grabbing a torch from the nearest torch bracket, Nightmare said, "We're good to go. I'm so glad that there was a random lit torch in here."
"O…k," said Robin.
"Is this author a pothead or what?" said Shadow, laughing as she realized how crazy someone would have to be to make characters do stuff like this.
"Yeah… some whacko!" Nightmare agreed.
"C'mon, we don't have time to insult the author! We have to find Raven NOW, then we can insult the author all we want! She'll help us!" said Beast Boy, thinking solely about rescuing their lost teammate.
"Ok, let's go!" Robin yelled.
So,
the remaining six Titans and five Titans East ventured up to Raven's
room to "save her."
Raven didn't really need saving, of
course. Unless she was frightened of sleeping or something, which
would just be weird. Especially since that was what Raven was doing.
She had gone back to sleep, assuming that Shadow and Nightmare were
just being their usual, crazy selves.
So she was quite surprised when her door was suddenly kicked down and all of the Titans came in, screaming at the top of their lungs.
"TITANS! GO!" yelled the Boy No Wonder-- I mean the Boy Blunder-- I mean-- well, you know what I mean!
"DIIIIIE, SAMARA! DIEEEEEEE!" yelled Shadow and Nightmare brandishing their torches.
Raven rose and held her hands aloft, thinking that something was going on.
"RAVEN!" yelled our green hero, sounding immensely relieved. "You're OK!"
The changeling rushed over and hugged her tightly.
Surprisingly, she didn't push him away.
He finally let her go, and there was an awkward moment ensuing this, in which everyone blinked a lot.
"So…" said Shadow, the ice-breaker as always. "I'm guessing that Samara didn't get you?"
"Um… no offense, but I have no clue what you're talking about…" Raven said.
Everyone looked at Shadow and Nightmare.
"I thought you said that Samara got Raven!" said Aqualad.
"Uhh…"
Shadow and Nightmare seemed to lose what they were thinking.
Robin took authority. "Well, team, since its so late and we know that are teammate is safe from fictional movie characters-" he cast an annoyingly superior glance at Shadow and Nightmare "- why don't we just call it a night?"
Every nodded or spoke in agreement.
"There
are extra rooms in the Tower. Just… choose one and stay there,"
Robin continued.
"Aren't you the eloquent one…" Shadow
mused.
Everyone trooped off to bed out of Raven's room, save Beast Boy. He was the last to leave.
"I'm glad you're ok," he said softly, smiling at her.
"I-I… thanks," she said, feeling herself blush.
"G'night." Beast Boy exited.
Raven lay back down and sighed softly before going to sleep.
