To all the people who read this or any of my stories. Due to my obtaining a job and driving classes, my updating fanfiction will have to become second priority. Now, I'm not gonna abandon my account. It's just that I'll only be able to type and update stories on the weekends. The stories will still be updated, just not as often. Once a week at the most. So don't worry your little heads.
If you wonder where I am…I'm not dead. I'm just swamped with work from school, work, and driving classes.
Chapter 6
"All right! Swings!" Beastboy scampered across the playground like a little kid in a candy shop. "Watch me ride up over the bar!"
"He's so full of child-like wonder." Raven shook her head.
"Yeah. But that's what's so cool about him." Cyborg looked over.
"Yeah."
They set up a spot under a tree. Beastboy stayed on the swings for another 20 minutes or so before his legs got tired.
"Unsuccessful in my attempts to ride over the bar." The green changeling wobbled over to the picnic blanket. He plopped a seat right next to Raven and rolled onto his back to catch a quick catnap.
"Hey Beastboy, your legs too tired for a game of…" Cyborg held up a giant sock ball, "…Stankball?"
"Heck no! Let's go!" The shape-shifter instantly shot up and raced to the nearest open space, his tired legs immediately forgotten.
"Count me in!" Robin got up and ran over.
The girls decided not to play. The smell was all too unbearable. Not to mention it stained their clothes and left a smell that took days of consistent showering to get rid of.
They sat and talked for a while until the boys convince Jinx to play with them because they needed another player to make it even.
Starfire wasn't quite up to play yet. And Raven just didn't want to play at all so the two stayed behind, not wanting to do anything but relax and be together—sat and watched the clouds go by.
They took turns seeing who could find the better cloud.
"That one looks like Silky."
"That one looks like a loofa." Raven pointed out.
"What is a 'loofa'?"
"A type of sponge."
"Oh, okay." Something a little to the right on the horizon caught Starfire's eye. "Hey. That cloud looks like a ball of electricity."
"What? What're you talking-" The cloud DID look like a ball of electricity. 'Odd.' Very odd indeed. It seemed to get bigger and bigger, like it was getting closer. Almost like it was…heading…right…for…
"Oh…crap. Starfire! Move!"
The dark mage picked up the oblivious Starfire by her waist and jumped as far away from their spot as possible.
The giant electricity ball collided with the tree they were just sitting under.
Shielding Starfire with her own body, Raven took the damage from the explosion. Just a few minor scrapes.
They were both okay now. All seemed safe.
"Raven! Watch out!"
The purple haired girl looked over her shoulder.
There was the giant tree about to fall right on top of them. She held up a hand and began to mutter, "Azarath Metrion…"
But there wasn't enough time to conjure up a shield or any means of protection. Death seemed imminent. So instead of using her hand to conjure magic and save them, she used it to shield her face. She shut her eyes and waited. What a nasty way to go.
Then, a giant green T-rex came out of nowhere. Rushing to intercept the tree at the last second, the tree's path was diverted by the prehistoric beast.
'What? No pain? No life flashing before my eyes? No bright light?'
Raven opened one eye hesitantly. She wasn't smashed to a pulp. Starfire was on the ground below her, eyes closed as well and clinging to her neck for dear life.
"Are we dead yet?" The alien girl squeaked.
"No, I don't think so. You can open your eyes now I guess."
They had been saved. Saved by—the other Titans. Ironic. But well appreciated.
There was a maniacal laugh somewhere 20 feet away. It was nerdy, manly, yet squeaky, and nasally. Only one person could laugh like that.
Control Freak.
Raven turned to the source of the laughter, "You missed."
"Oh, so I did. But that wasn't me it was my new-" Shing. He pulled out his, "-Souped up REMOTE!"
"You still missed."
"Yes I did, unfortunately. But this time will be a bulls-eye!"
He pressed a button and another electricity ball shot out.
Cyborg jumped between the two girls on the ground and the spark ball and shot a ray from the blaster cannon built into his mechanical arm. It counter-acted the electricity in the ball and it disappeared in a ray of light. "You're a lousy shot."
Control Freak was starting to get steaming mad, "Argh! You'll never defeat me!" He moved his finger to a button on his remote that would send out another, maybe more lethal, electricity ball. He was about to press it.
Then a puff of warm air blew his long, tangled hair forward. Moist and warm. "Uh…..oh." He turned around very slowly…and came face-to-face—well, snout—with a very big, green dinosaur nose.
Another puff from the green T-rex graced his long, tangled locks and his face again.
He screamed bloody murder like a little girl and turned to run in the opposite direction.
He didn't get very far. The collar of his shirt was hooked by one of the dino's teeth. There was lots of teeth. Many, many teeth. Many, many SHARP teeth.
"You'll never defeat me! My new remote is un-"
A birdarang flew out from the side and knocked the remote out of his hand.
"-stoppable."
Control Freak was cuffed and led to a police car. Being a helpless nerd without his remote, he didn't resist.
The last thing he said before being set in the back of the squad car was, "You may have gotten me this time, Titans. But since Slade's gone, someone's gotta run this town-"
"Watch your head." The police officer shoved him a little too hard into the car.
"Ow." Poor guy's head bumped into the door frame. "Mark my words. It'll be me. Mark-my-words."
"We'll be sure to log THAT away." Raven rolled her eyes.
"Why you little demon from-"
The car door closed.
"Mental, that one." Robin added, watching the criminal inaudibly rant away. "C'mon guys. Let's head home."
Well I hope you enjoyed that chapter. Now if you would just be ever so patient as to waiting until this weekend for another chapter.
Review if you please.
