Enchantra

Beast Boy's POV

Anger seethed within me. Rain poured around us and lightning flashed through the sky. Robin's body lay on the rooftop, limp and lifeless. I was going to kill Slade no matter what the cost. I felt myself begin to transform into a tiger, but Raven stood there, still with her teeth gritted. Something was still blocking her from using her magic. Even though it was raining I could tell tears of anger and despair were rolling down her cheeks. Starfire lay unconscious on the ground.

I growled in my tiger form but it wasn't I who acted upon Slade, who was standing over his prey triumphantly.

It was the girl. She screamed and got up, actually she flew up. In the raging wind her hair flew around her, but it was her eyes that caught my attention. They were glowing bright purple and her teeth were gritted in rage. Slade turned around, his eyes wide with fear. The girl clenched her hands into fists and Slade roared in pain. He convulsed and twisted into himself, screaming all the way. Finally, Slade was gone.

The girl fell to the ground, collapsing. The rain faded to a slight drizzle, but we were all soaked. I hadn't even realized that I was crying and I ran over to Robin. Starfire was stirring. I held Raven's hand tightly. Tears were pouring down her face and falling onto Robin's wet corpse.

"Robin," Raven whispered, bending over his body and weeping.

Starfire woke up.

Starfire's POV

Slowly, my vision returned. My head throbbed in pain and I was wet. I rubbed my head and looked up. Beast Boy and Raven were huddled over something. I got up and walked shakily over.

My eyes watered. "Robin…" I fell to my knees in front of his head. "No…" Tears ran freely down my face now as I bent over his body. A huge gash was open in his chest. Robin, the person I had loved most on earth, was dead, impaled by something.

Slade, I thought angrily. "Where is Slade?" I demanded through my tears.

"Dead," Raven moaned. She pointed to the girl, who was unconscious. "She killed him."

At least he was dead, but it did not compensate for Robin's death. I bent over his cold body and kissed his lips gently, my tears running onto his face. "How could this happen? Robin had ordered me to take the girl to the Tower. Then Slade knocked me out. He must have killed Robin then… oh Robin…" I moaned as I broke away from my love's corpse.

"Where's Cy?" Beast Boy asked, wiping his face with his hands.

"Robin said it was just Slade, he said we should let Cyborg rest. But he was wrong. And now he's gone," new tears came to my eyes, pouring down onto his face.

Raven's POV

My powers had returned after Slade had been killed. He must have had some device to block my magic, but I hardly noticed. We must've stayed up on that roof for an hour, mourning over Robin. My eyes were puffy and red when I got up, but Starfire refused to leave Robin's side. Two tragedies in one day, and we were all hurt by loss. Worst of all, our brave hearted leader was dead, killed by his archenemy.

What would become of us now?

'Waaaaah!' Happy bawled. 'Why am I not happy!'

'This is the worst day ever!' Sad groaned.

Rage roared. 'Poor Star and poor Cy. The two people whom they loved the most are gone,' Pity sighed.

'Quiet, please guys,' I said as I wiped tears from my eyes.

"Star, we have to get Robin and the girl back to the Tower," I said gently, putting my hand on her shoulder.

"Please Raven, can I carry Robin?" Starfire asked. She was still crying.

"Of course," I said. "Beast Boy, go get the girl." Beast Boy nodded and picked her up.

She was very beautiful. Her hair was long and golden and I had seen her eyes before they were glowing. They were pale amethyst and she was slim and tall. She was wearing a short white dress and a necklace with a black stone on it hung from her neck. The stone sent shudders up my spine, momentarily making me forget my pain.

"Hold on tight," I ordered. Star wiped her face and nodded. Beast Boy took my hand and I muttered my enchantment.

We found ourselves in Titan's Tower. Cyborg hadn't turned any lights on, and the main room was dark and flickered with shadows. Starfire silently took Robin's body to the hospital wing. She didn't come out for the rest of the night. When I went to check on her about a half and hour later she was asleep next to Robin, tears still staining her face.

'Be strong,' Courage encouraged.

Don't look at Robin, I thought. Don't think of Starfire's expression when she saw his body. Horror, rage, despair and shock had painted Star's face. It was terrible, and I had to fight back my tears.

When I went back to the main room I sat next to Beast Boy, who still hadn't put any lights on. He had put the girl on the other side of him. He put his hand on top of mine and looked into my eyes.

"We'll need a new… a new Titan… and a new," I fought myself to say it. "A new leader," tears rolled down my cheek at the memories of Robin.

Beast Boy kissed the top of my head. "Don't worry, everything's going to be alright, Rae. I promise. I just can't believe he's gone…"

"It must be hard for Star. She's sleeping next to him now. She just doesn't want to let go," my voice wavered. "And I don't blame her."

Beast Boy nodded. "Cyborg's locked door," he said.

"Leave them," I answered. "They deserve some privacy."

Beast Boy put his arm around me and brushed his lips against mine. I sighed and leaned back. "What was that for?"

"Because you needed it… because we needed it."

I smiled. 'Awww,' Love sighed through tears.

"Look, she's waking up," I pointed at the girl.

At first she just stirred, but then, her pale purple eyes flickered open. She sat up and rubbed her head. She was still dazed. "Uh… where am I?" she asked, shaking her head.

"Titan's Tower," I answered.

"Wh—what happened? Where is that guy?" she asked.

"Slade is dead… and so is—and so is…" I trailed off. My eyes watered again. Beast Boy put his arm around my shoulder.

"You killed Slade," he said. "Uh, and who are you?"

She shook her head again. "I'm Enchantra. That guy was chasing me; he said he was going to take my powers or something. I can bend and control matter and do other magic, and he said he was going to take it using some machine. But you guys saved me… Thank you. And you're Beast Boy and Raven right?"

We nodded.

I looked at Beast Boy. He nodded. "Enchantra," I began. "We're going through a pretty rough time, but you're welcome here. In fact, I—we were wondering if you would like to be a Titan."

"Really?" she asked. "Well, I dunno. You guys are so professional and I can barely control my powers."

"Don't worry," Beast Boy said. "You'll get used to them. But just a few things. Please don't go into Rooms 112, 78 or 236. They have… sentimental value."

I couldn't believe what we were doing. This girl had amazing powers, but we had just suffered two horrible tragedies and Star might think that this girl was taking Robin's place, but still, I had never met anyone who's powers were so potent. I was glad Beast Boy had asked her not to go into those rooms, they were Cyborg's, Robin's and the room where his body was. I gulped down another bout of tears and asked, "So will you join us?"

"I guess," she said uncertainly. "But where am I going to sleep?" she asked.

"Beast Boy and I are going to have to fix up your room, but until then you can stay in my room. I hope you like black," I said dryly.

'Star's going to be angry,' Wisdom shook her head.

'Yes, I know, but if this girl leaves we may not be able to track her down. And we'll never find anyone else who can bend and control matter. As much as I hate to do it, it's a golden opportunity,' I answered.

"Tomorrow we'll explain the rules," Beast Boy said. "And train. But for now we have to sleep."

Enchantra nodded and suddenly ran up to Beast Boy and hugged him.

'Oh no she didn't!' Jealousy cried.

Beast Boy looked surprised at first, but then he hugged her back. "Good night," she said.

"Good night," he replied, and they broke.

"Enchantra, when you exit the room there's an elevator on the left. Take it and the second door on your right is mine," I said. She nodded and left the room.

I walked up to Beast Boy and kissed him on the cheek. "Good night, Beast Boy. Be strong."

He nodded and I could tell he was trying to smile. "Good night Rae," he said and left.

"Azerath Metrion Zinthos," I muttered and found myself by Enchantra's side. I waved my hand the door slid open. I had an extra sleeping bag in my closet that I gave to Enchantra. Surprisingly, she said nothing about the dark decor of my room.

"Good night," she said.

"Good night, Enchantra," I replied.

Starfire was still sleeping soundly next to Robin, and Cyborg was still locked up in his room.

That night, I cried myself to sleep thinking of Robin.
