ok here chapter 4, theres a bit of language in here and if you dont like it too bad
Chapter four: Run!
Another quit day came upon the Tower as both, Raven and Beast Boy locked themselves in their rooms. It was around late January, and colder then ever. Cyborg had returned just that morning and had not yet seen or heard from the witch and changeling. Lighting filled the sky, cutting open the dark clouds and bringing down a flood of ice cold rain. The kind that stung the flesh of any human who dared to venture outside.
Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg sat at the kitchen counter around 1 pm, although the dark sky would make them question their watches.
"Dude, we've got to get those two talking again." Cyborg said, pointing out the obvious. "I've been back for nearlyfour hours, and I haven't heard a single lame joke yet. Let alone a rude remark."
"Yes, but how?" Starfire asked nearly jumping as the dark sky suddenly filled with the eerie glow of lightening. She tilted her head nervously as the loud booming thunder closely followed after.
"I don't know" Robin said, his voice soft with worry for his two friends.
"You never did tell me what caused those two to stop talking and lock themselves in their rooms." Cyborg pressed on.
"Do tell, Robin" Starfire pleaded. Robin had also kept this from Starfire, something Star did not like at all. The two seemed to share everything…except for Robins past, which Starfire learned to not ask about.
Robin looked at his teammates. He really didn't want to tell them that BB had said what he said. "It wasn't anything, really."
"Come on, just say it" Cyborg complained. "I'm gone for a week and I come back to find BB locked in his room. That's not nothing"
Again, Robin looked at his friends, and hesitated to reply. "I…I don't think he met it. I think Beast Boy was just angry, but he compared Raven to Terra."
"Oh" Cyborg said his eyes widening in interest. "Bad move on B-Boys part."
Starfire frowned "Please, what is it friend Beast Boy said?" She asked letting her heritage slip threw again. "How did he compare them?"
Robin sighed "When I came into earshot Beast Boy had just said Raven was too bitchy" Starfire gasped at this. She did not agree with profanity and hated when her friends let such words slip. "And that Terra never had been" Robin finished.
"Damn, that was bad" Cyborg said with a small frown.
"Someone must talk to them" Star demanded matter-of-factly. But just as she stated this, red lights flashed threw the room.
"Trouble" Robin declared. The three Titans looked up as at almost the same time, Beast Boy threw open the rooms doors, and Raven appeared threw a black vortex in the wall. "Who is it?" Raven asked hurriedly, joining her team in front of the computers.
"Slade" Robin said coldly as he read the screens. "He's trying to take down an entire city!"
"How the heck does he plan on doing that?" Beast Boy asked.
Robin turned to his team. "The city is on a cliff by the bay." He pointed out the window as more lightening flashed. He ignored it and Starfire's frightened hiccup. "In this weather it'll be easy….Titans, GO!"
On this order the five Titans took off. Over time Ravens powers had grown stronger so now they relied on her to transport them during missions. It did not take her long to create a vortex large enough for all five of the heroes. In a matter of seconds she transported them all to the city where Slade was said to be attacking. Sure enough, as the teens showed up Slade was attaching a large bomb to the side of a cliff. At the top sat a small city, most clueless to what was to become of their city on the bay.
The five watched unnoticed until another bolt of lightening struck the sky, causing Starfire to scream and catch Slades attention. He stepped away from his now completed bomb and smirked under his mask. "Hello Titans, come to see the show?" He asked mockingly.
Without replying Robin gave the signal, and they attacked as one. Robin pulled out his bow staff and ran for Slade. "Beast Boy, Cyborg, you take care of the bomb, we'll handle Slade!" He shouted over yet more thunder and rain. Beast Boy and Cyborg did as they were told and turned their attention to the cliff, while Starfire, Raven, and Robin headed for Slade.
Slade smirked and reached out grabbing hold of each end of Robin's staff, causing it to stop and Robin met it full in the chest. Robin let out a tuff of air as he was hit by his own weapon. Starfire sped forward eyes and fists glowing bright green as she sent star bolt after star bolt at Slade. He dropped Robin to dodge the Stars attack, and in doing so was caught by surprise when a surge of black energy hit him square in the back, quickly followed by Robins boot.
The villain fell forward in the sand catching himself with his hands. He rolled over on his back and kicked himself back up. He was now face to face with Robin, who took the opportunity for a one on one fight. He punched out and Slade quickly put up an arm to block the attack. Slade dropped using his feet to kick Robin off his own feet. In this fight there was room for two and only two. So Star and Raven found themselves helplessly watching as the hero and villain exchanged moves as if in some strange, fast passed dance.
At the foot of the cliff Beast Boy hurriedly tried to figure out how to stop the explosives. "Careful!" Cyborg whispered as if to talk would set off the bomb. "We've only got a minute left."
"Yeah, but you're the smart one, which wires do I cut?" BB whispered back.
Soon Slade and Robins dance broke and Star and Raven were able to join back in. They entered the fight viciously, both throwing multiple attacks at once. The fight sped up to an intense speed. All attacking at once until a loud beeping broke them apart once more.
Slade laughed coldly "That's my que to leave." Before Robin could stop him Slade turned and ran. It took all of the black haired teen's strength to not follow after.
"What's happening?" Starfire shouted over the winds, waves, thunder, and now beeping.
"The bomb!" Cyborg shouted over the noise "She's going off!" He turned and began to run back towards Robin and the girls.
"Beast Boy, come ON!" Robin shouted as BB continued to franticly fiddle with the wires. "BB!" But it was too late now. There was a huge explosion causing Starfire to scream again.
Beast Boy shielded himself and began to run, but one of his shoelaces came undone causing him to trip. He landed in the sand, face first, with a small "umph".
Raven watched in utter most fear as a bolder three times the little changelings size fell, casting a deathly shadow over him. Her eyes glowed black and the bolder did the same. It slowed down as it fell threw the ice cold rain.
The dark sorceress was suddenly hit by flash backs. She saw that day in the cavern playing before her eyes. Beast Boy lying on the ground, while Terra stood over him wearing that suit Slade gave her. She held a huge sharpened rock hovering just above the green boys' body. As Raven thought back to that day, her dream came back to her as well. She saw herself trying to stop the rock from pursing Beast Boys body, only in her dream Terra had once more taken control of the bolder and it fell.
Raven sprang back into reality as she struggled to hold up the rock. She ignored the pain growing in her mind as she pushed the limits of her powers. She ignored the stinging rain and the sound of the thunder. All her attention was on keeping the bolder from falling on Beast Boy. "Run!" She cried out, emotions over whelming her as she remembered the way her dream always ended.
Beast Boys skin had gone pale, and as he told himself to move his body would not listen, until suddenly Ravens powers gave in and the bolder turned back to its normally rusty, brown color, and once more fell at full speed.
The others closed their eyes as they heard Ravens insane screams, and the terrible sound of a bolder hitting the sandy ground. Raven fell to her knees as tears shone in her eyes. She continued to scream out. "RUN!" She raised her hands to her face and as she screamed again her nails begun to dig into the pale flesh of her cheeks drawing blood.
Robin stepped forward placing a hand on her shoulder. He could feel her shaking in her now rigid body. She didn't seem to notice him there; she just continued to stare at the bolder. "RUN!" She screamed again. "God damn you Beast Boy! FUCKING RUN! RUN!"
"Raven, hush. It's too late" Robin whispered. He didn't like hearing Raven scream like this. It sent chills down his spin. And he sure as hell didn't like seeing her hurt herself. "Please don't" He said kneeling down beside her and trying to pull her hands away from her now badly scratched face.
"NO!" Raven yelled at him pulling away from his hands. "It's not! He's still ok! He's fucking ok!" In her anger the bolder turned black once more and threw itself back at the cliff, causing the others to flinch as small rocks fell. "Run…" Raven murmured before everything went black and she fell in a black out.
