Disclaimer: I don't own anything okay!
Thanks for reviewing I appreciate it.
I am sooo sorry that I haven't updated sooner, I had school and all that stuff but that is not an excuse now since it's the holidays, I hope this chapter makes up for the delay.
Chapter 4
"Not just a new one but a heat seeking one!" he relied gleefully!
"Where did you get that?" exclaimed Raven, Robin never ceased to amaze her.
"When I was trying to find Slade I created all sort of gadgets," Robin explained, "And in those gadgets I also created heat seeking glasses, just in case I needed to go under cover."
"Here try them on," said Robin handing Raven the glasses, the glasses were black but was tinted a deep blood red.
Raven took the glasses and slipped them on and gasped at what she saw, the left lens gave her left eye the view of the world in ultra violet rays, meaning she could see everything that emitted any sort of heat, while the right lens remained normal.
"Robin these are brilliant" Raven complemented taking the glasses off.
"I know, so lets change into something that's not a total give away and save our friends!" Robin stated heading towards the door, with Raven following.
"Meet in the briefing room in 10 okay?" He asked.
"Right," Raven replied, and with that she disappeared into the confines of her room.
Chameleon jumped to and fro the trees, near where his captives were kept. He was board the Titans were too easy, after hearing villains like Slade being defeated day and night, Chameleon came here looking for a good challenge and it hadn't happened yet.
Hearing squeals of fear Chameleon returned to watch his prisoners, being attacked by the snakes. Chameleon had lowered them a couple of feet and the snakes were getting a lot closer to their targets. A LOT closer, he thought as one snake brushed the tips of Starfire's hair.
Robin was in the briefing room waiting for Raven to make an appearance, he was dressed in a red muscle shirt and black pants, with his new mask on, and whilst waiting for Raven Robin scanned the city to look for any particular spots where the lizard would reside. There was a small forest not too far off, it would be the most logical place to look Robin thought as he heard the doors "swish" open.
Turning round his eyes fell upon Raven, walking towards him in a deep purple shirt and blue denim jeans that hung nicely on her curves and the glasses in her hand.
"Have you found a spot we should check out?" Raven questioned, Robin stared blankly at her, "Uhh Robin?"
Robin stood up regaining his composure and answered, "I think the forest at the east side of the city would be the most logical place."
"Okay lets get going," Raven commanded and walked down to the garage with Robin.
Raven was preparing to fly when Robin stopped her, "Raven want to ride with me, it'll be faster and you won't use up your energy?"
Raven pondered this for a moment and agreed taking a black helmet from Robin and jumping on bike behind him. Robin revved the engine and exploded from the garage towards their destination. Raven loved speed, how it got your adrenaline pumping especially when danger was involved. Robin grinned from his helmet as he felt Raven press herself against him for more grip, she was so warm, his attention reverted back to the road swerving through the busy traffic and receiving angry honks when he came a little too close.
They soon left the busy roads and entered the forest where the trees surrounded them, and effecting their visibility, as the trees were so tall only a little light managed to pierce through the thick canopy above. Robin slowed down and stopped, allowing Raven to dismount, and switched off the engine taking off his helmet and taking Raven's placed them in a compartment in the bike.
"Right where do we start?" asked Raven slightly out of breath from the adrenaline rush.
"Well I think it's best if we stick together, because it wouldn't help anybody if we got lost" Robin deduced.
"Okay let's head off in this direction," Raven pointed down a path which looked it had been used recently.
Raven put the heat seeking glasses on and picked up some ultra violet rays further up the path. Robin also detected it with his own mask, and followed silently, careful not to give away their position by stepping on the twigs that littered the ground.
Soon after, muffled squeals could be heard, Robin signalled for Raven to fly and take a better look. Nodding Raven took off gliding effortlessly through the tangles of branches, careful not to alert anybody or thing. When Raven neared the place she shocked to see Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg hanging above a pit of snakes. Using the glasses Raven tried to find Chameleon, she couldn't see him anywhere and decided to return to Robin.
Robin was getting worried it had been a while since Rave had left to scout ahead, he hoped she was okay but his attention snapped to his right as he heard a twig snap and a soft mumble, he crouched, low ready to ambush whatever came his way.
Footsteps came closer and closer and Robin pounced and landed on…. "Raven!" he hissed surprised.
"Get off me, what the hell were you doing?" She whispered not wanting to give away their position any more that Robin had.
"Sorry I thought you were someone else," He whispered back, "So what did you find?"
"Starfire Beast Boy and Cyborg hanging over a huge pit of snakes, but I couldn't see Chameleon," She reported.
"Right this sounds like an ambush," Robin calculated.
"Agreed, I think we should use bait," Raven added.
"Right good idea…but whose bait," Robin looked up into Raven eyes looking intently at him, "Uhh fine I'll be bait, you better have me covered!"
"Don't worry when have I let you down?" reasoned Raven.
With that Raven vanished to a secluded spot where she could see Robin and their distressed team mates.
"Here I go" though Robin as he strode out into the open area, where his friends all squealed in delight, feeling stupid he continued to walk around trying to get into some sort of danger. After a while nothing happened so he cut down his friends, who all thanked him many times.
"Boyfriend Robin thank you so much for rescuing me," Starfire batting her eyelashes at him, whilst clinging to his strong arm.
"Yeah man I thought you were never gonna come!" said Cyborg sighing in relief.
"Uhh dudes where Raven?" asked Beast Boy.
Their voices were oblivious to Robin as he tried to sense Raven.
"Where is he?" Raven questioned this wasn't making sense Robin had freed all of their friends but Chameleon was no where to be seen.
Raven was feeling uncomfortable so she turned around to leave where she was face to face with Chameleon!
"AAAAAGHHHH!" Raven screamed before Chameleon muffled her cries and restrained her arms and leg, with metal bracelets that disabling her powers!
The Titans heard a shrill scream in the distance and immediately took off towards the source, "RAVEN!" Robin called… no answer.
"No no! Come on Raven answer me!" Robin yelled into the forest, his voice echoed off the trees,
"Looking for sssssomething?" someone hissed behind them.
Robin whipped around to Chameleon holding Raven above the pit, just high enough to avoid the snakes touching her; Raven struggled against her captor, eyes wide with fear.
"Let her go!" demanded Robin.
"You really want me to let her go?" Chameleon asked amused, Robin hadn't realised what he said until Raven cried out, fear gripping her heart, if her leader didn't think straight it could very well be the end of her.
"NO wait! What do you want?" Robin yelled fear starting to show in his voice.
Raven looked down into the pit trying to see if there any way she could save herself, then Raven spotted a green snake slithering under, she stared at it and the snake winked at her!
Raven blinked rapidly had she really seen that snake wink at her? No she must be going crazy, but when she looked again it winked again, then Raven realised that the snake was Beast Boy!
"What I want is for all of you to die!" Chameleon rasped, releasing Raven to fall to her doom.
Just as Raven was about to fall into the pit Beast Boy transformed into a pterodactyl, catching Raven and flew away to safety. Just as Raven was out of danger the remaining Titans attacked.
Cyborg' s sonic blast knocked Chameleon off balance and green starbolts rained from above, Chameleon hissed in anger and camouflaged himself, but Robin was ready and sprung into action, delivering a round house kick to Chameleon's legs.
Chameleon jumped over Robin's kick and landed on his outstretched leg. Pain coursed through Robin's leg, but he whipped out his Bo staff and stabbed Chameleon in the abdomen, making Chameleon to fall off Robin's leg on to his back. Robin tried to stand but couldn't do it without his Bo staff for support. Robin knew that the others couldn't see Chameleon except Raven, who he wished would come back and help soon.
"There that's the last one," Beast Boy said proud that he had helped Rave to get rid of the bracelets that stopped her powers.
"Thanks Beast Boy, now let's go and help the others," she commanded as she flew back with Beast Boy, following in a form of a hawk.
Raven got to the scene and it reminded her of the time where Robin was fighting Slade but he could only see him, but this was different because she could see Chameleon as well and wasted no time in helping Robin.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" screamed Raven, black energy encircled Chameleon like a strait jacket, before he attacked Robin again.
"Good job Raven," Robin said sighing with relief, staggering on his feet but was fixed when Starfire came zooming to his aid.
Raven lost control of her powers for a second as she felt a pang of jealously, Robin noticed this but let it slide because he wanted to hand Chameleon over to the authorities, and heal his leg.
"Titans let's go," Robin ordered as Starfire flew him to the police with Raven and Chameleon, Beast Boy and Cyborg headed back to get the medical bay prepared for Robin on his return.
Once Chameleon was handed over to the police, the three Titans headed home.
Starfire gently placed Robin on the medical bay bed and left with Beast Boy as they didn't know anything about medicine.
"Rae you got this?" asked Cyborg, referring to Robins injuries.
Raven nodded and Cyborg took his leave.
Raven turned back to Robin, her hand glowing an ice blue she placed her hand on his leg and healed his wounds, Robin sigh contently, he loved the feeling of being healed by Raven he always felt so rejuvenated afterwards.
"Feel better?" Raven quizzed.
"Much," Robin answered swinging his leg over the side of the bed. Raven turned to leave, but a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled into Robin's lap.
"Robin wha" Raven was cut off as Robin's lips came into contact with hers, Raven relaxed and sank into the kiss, and kissed back.
Robin pulled away allowing them to breathe, "Robin I thought you liked Starfire?" asked Raven but she was cut off again.
"Starfire is like a little sister to me, but you my dark angel is where my heart longs to be with," Robin replied seriously.
Raven blushed at the last part "But my powers, we can't," Raven muttered sadly, looking away.
Robin cupped her chin and gently made her look into her eyes, "Do you see anything out of place here?" Robin breathed; Raven looked around confused everything was fine nothing blew up.
"What?" whispered Raven, looking back at Robin.
"I think your powers get out of hand if you repress them but if you express them freely nothing happens," Robin stated.
"Oh Robin I've loved you since the day we've met," Raven confessed, throwing her arms around Robins neck.
"I know I was just so dense, I love you too," with that Robin cupped Raven's face and kissed with all of his passion, Raven equally giving it her all, hoping this would never end.
FIN
