Chapter 6: The Necklace

"Oh wow. Adonis.." Robin sighs, not at all enthusiastic to fight the big red guy not too far away on the shores of Jump City. "This city's getting less and less interesting…"

Robin stands on the roof of one of the one-storied buildings watching Adonis juggle huge dumbbells and laughing. Raven stops flying as she reaches Robin's side. Eventually, the other three do the same.

"Dudes, what're those small red dots running around red?" Beastboy continues on watching them as he tries to recognize what he sees…

"YEE-HAW!"

"That's loud…"

"(sigh) 'Billy Numerous'…" Raven says, putting down her hood. She stares blankly at the odd sight of Adonis and Billy playing around the 'beach bum' area… This will be over in no time… She says to herself, even though it did take them quite long to fight him the last time. (A/N: 'Overdrive' episode )

"Let's just get this over with. GO!"

Together, the five titans rush towards the villains. Raven and Starfire both fly above the group; Cyborg runs with his hand already in the form of some gun; Robin runs, ready to strike with his bo-staff; Beastboy shifts into the form of a T-rex and follows the rest.

"How should I start?… —"

"Would you look at that!" shouts Adonis.

"The Teen Titans! Ha!" Billy makes even more clones of himself.

"…Okay, I'll start with Adonis…" Upon hearing this, Raven looks at Robin along with a "hm?"

"What 'hm'?" Robin asks her, slightly turning his head her direction. Right, I was reading his mind.

"Nothing—" She notices a truck being thrown towards them. "Azarath. Metrion. ZINTHOS!" The truck stops in midair, enveloped in a dark aura. Just after, she sends it shooting towards the many Billy's. Many of them jump over it and continue rushing towards them.

"Right, maybe I can get around them.. That way, we can surround him.. Cy! Back me up!"

"Gotcha!" Robin speeds up and readies his staff before himself. Cyborg follows behind him.

"Friend Raven, 'Back me up!'" Starfire says in a mock manner of Robin along with a huge grin on her face.

"…Right…"

Along with a rather loud giggle, Starfire dives lower and throws green starbolts at the army of Billy's. Raven follows close behind her anyway.

"Hey! Where'd that come from?—Cyborg! Behind you!"

Raven hears Robin from all the way in the other side of the beach. As she turns to see what's happening in their side, she sees another huge blast that sends both Robin and Cyborg into the air. Turning towards the source, she finds—"Atlas."

"Atlas is back." A very familiar voice calls out.

"Forget trying to surround them… What should we do?.."

"Didn't we already beat you guys before?" Cyborg shouts, landing on his feet. Just beside him, Robin does the same.

"We can't act all easy about this fight. With them fighting at the same time.. it can't be too easy. Cy, don't let your guard down." He looks at Cyborg who gives him a reassuring smile.

"None of you humans can defeat me." Atlas boasts.

"Know why?" That voice sounds familiar too… "'Coz 'I' gave him upgrades!" Oh. It's Little 'Genius'.

"Gizmo…"

"Gizmo?" Cyborg calls in disbelief. "Lemme guess. You're friends are comin' here too."

"Sorry, losers! We only needed one of us to join the party." Gizmo walks over to Atlas' side with his spider-like mechanical legs.

"Y'all going down, Teen Tit'ns!" shouts one of the Billy's running towards Robin and Cyborg.

"Robin!" Raven calls, quickly diving towards the two. But, a huge T-rex suddenly passes before her and runs over the Billy duplicates.

"FINALLY! You're here!" Cyborg shouts at the green dinosaur.

"Good one Beastboy," Robin turns back towards Atlas.

"They are more than I expected. Gotta focus."

"You will now see the true power of Atlas!" He shoots several other kinds of missile attacks at Robin and Cyborg who, in turn, dodges them all.

"We beat y'all once. We can beat you again." Cyborg jumps at Altas and attacks.

"Raven!" Starfire shouts from beside Raven. As our dark titan turns, she finds a huge pile of Billy's and a bit of green starbolts escaping from inside.

"Azarath—"

"You guys seem to be forgettin' me!" shouts Adonis. It's just then that Raven notices two empty buses thrown her direction. Before she could even make use of her powers, one already hits her and pushes her back to the ground.

"Raven!" calls Robin. "They're too many."

He keeps complaining..

He says it as if we're going to lose... Raven phases through the bus. She hasn't been completely crushed by the bus, but, the impact still caused some pain.

"Good. She's okay. We should focus our attacks first. That way, one-by-one, we can get them…" Robin stands still, solely defending himself from some of the duplicates.

"Robin!" Raven calls, trying to beat the constant shouting and blabbering from the Billy duplicates. "Beastboy!" Robin looks at her, still defending himself.

"A plan? Beastboy!" Robin shouts making Beastboy stop fighting and come to them, back to his green 'human' form.

Raven flies above the two. It's just then that she notices some pain in her left arm. Just ignore it. She tells herself. "Try to get Starfire." She points at the pile of Billy duplicates.

"But—"

"Right." Robin rushes to the pile of Billy's and tries to make a way in by attacking them. "Whatever Raven's planning, I'm sure it would work." Hearing this, Raven slightly smirks.

Get that smile off your face! FOCUS!

"What about me?" Cyborg shouts from the other side.

"Wait." Raven shortly commands.

"Friends! I do not wish to be in the state of—'squished' any longer! I am truly getting… ill!"

"Almost got you—"

"I got it Robin!" Beastboy turns into a triceratops and charges to the clones.

Robin turns around upon hearing the loud footsteps heading his way. ""

He turns pale, being under the shadow of a huge dinosaur. The pile breaks open, revealing a Starfire lying on the ground, exhausted, and also pale, mostly because of the fact that she was almost stepped on.

"What's Raven planning?" Robin looks up at her.

"Robin, Starfire—Get out of there!" Preparing to do some of her powers, she raises her hands and waits for the two to leave.

"A—"

"Raven!" Cyborg calls, jumping behind her and shooting at something. "BOO-YA!"

O-kay.

Raven doesn't even bother looking at him. "Azarath. Metrion. Zinthos!" She collects all the Billy's inside a black aura and tightens it.

"Nice."

"Forgetting somethin'?" Another Billy is left on the ground. Before he could even duplicate himself again, Raven waves her other hand towards him and a huge black claw escapes her hand and takes hold of the last Billy. Raven joins him with the rest.

Raven makes the aura smaller, giving Billy less space for all of his duplicated selves. One-by-one, they disappear.

As if he can read Raven's mind, Robin throws a net at the last Billy who ends up unable to even move while on the ground.

"Oh crud," Billy says in defeat.

"Good. One down."

Raven slowly floats down to his side, and Beastboy enters the scene as well.

"That should be tough enough…" Robin secures the net and looks back at his teammates. "Good job."

"Think it's already time to celebrate? You just got one of us!" shouts Adonis.

Raven suddenly finds more vehicles being thrown at them. "Robin—" She's cut short by another familiar voice.

"Hey, guys!" Huge pieces of earth crash on the incoming cars, stopping them from getting close to the four.

We just got her back to normal recently and she's already so—'on the go'…

"Terra." Robin looks up at the blonde standing on a floating piece of earth too.

"Friend!"

"Hey Terra!"

"Guys, no time for this—Terra," Robin calls. "Are you with us?"

"Sure." She moves towards Adonis. "Good."

"I can't believe—that you guys—forgot about—ME!" Cyborg, arms outstretched, pushes against those of Atlas.

"You can't beat Atlas!" the robotic guy loudly says referring to himself in the third person again.

"Oh yeah?" Cyborg retorts.

Starfire comes into the scene, flying around and shooting starbolts at Atlas. One of which hits a vulnerable part of his body. There, some oil spills out.

He gives one strong push at Cyborg and turns to Gizmo. "Get me some oil!"

"What?" shouts Gizmo. "Are you telling ME what to do?"

"GO, HUMAN!"

"What? –You were just a little loser until I found you, robo-punk!"

Starfire lands beside Cyborg and watches the two villains argue.

Far in the other end of the 'battlefield', Raven hovers, following Robin who's running towards Adonis. The two stop once in a while to defend against thrown objects from Adonis.

"This should be over in no time."

Raven looks at Robin. "You seem calm."

"I'm.. okay, I guess…" He looks at her and smiles, saying in his mind "Raven seem calm as well…"

Terra moves the rock she's on around Adonis and shoots smaller pieces of rock at him. Coming in from another side, Beastboy, as a gorilla, charges towards Adonis.

"Quit bugging me!" Adonis runs to an area with several big dumbbells and picks one up. "Take this!" He throws it at Terra.

Raven stops it in midair and uses her powers to throw it back at him. Just as it hits him, Robin jumps to his back and hits him right in the head.

"Yeah!" Raven hears Robin triumphantly cheer. "Two down!"

"You might wanna move back a bit, Robin!" Terra calls out, jumping off her rock and making it quickly move away and crash on Adonis, sending him against a building.

"Good." Robin gives her a thumbs up.

"Wait for Beastboy," Terra says, landing beside Raven. A roar is heard from the side and the green gorilla comes in the scene and charges at the weak 'Adonis'.

Before you'd even know it, the armor falls off him and, yet again, we meet the weakling behind the 'Adonis'.

"Dude! Awesome!" Terra runs to Beastboy, now his normal self, and plays a punch on his shoulder.

"—Just shut up already!" Cyborg shouts, aiming a shot at Gizmo.

"Is that a threat?" Gizmo rushes at Cyborg with his spider legs. Missing his shot, Cyborg holds on to the two sharp legs that threaten to pierce him.

Raven hovers towards the two villains. Behind her is Robin. "Cyborg—"

"STAY BACK!" Atlas suddenly speeds to them and jumps at Raven, pushing her just as he did with Cyborg. "Raven! No—" Of course, without the same amount of strength as Cyborg, Raven is immediately pushed to the ground. The pain in her arm intensifies once more.

"Raven!" Robin jumps into the distance between her and Atlas and pierces the robot's neck with his staff. Still holding his staff that impales the robot in the neck, Robin's back lands on Raven and an "umph" escapes her mouth. Robin! She angrily shouts in her head.

"Unfair," Says the robot before he completely shuts down.

"Oops. Sorry, Rae." He shortens his staff and scratches his head. "…oops.."

Without the staff to hold it up, Atlas' body falls unto him and another "umph" from Raven.

"Robin!—" She's cut off by the pain from her arm.

"Huh?" Robin tries to see what's up with Raven, but fails miserably, as he can't lift Atlas' body. "Hey, can't you get this off or something?"

Raven doesn't reply. With the pain from her arm and that from both Robin's and Atlas' weight combined, she's way to frustrated and in pain to even use her power. Get off…

"Raven?…" Robin starts to sound worried and tries to turn over to take a look at Raven's condition, which only adds to the pain.

No! Don't… grr—STOP!

Too late. Before she could actually make out a few words, he's already come face-to-face with her.

"… Um…"

Raven suddenly feels her face redden. No. –Not in front of him, at least!

"Is she… b—"

Get off!

Her eyes glow dangerously white and she uses her power to throw Atlas away. Right after, she pushes Robin off and stands away.

"Whoa…"

Raven attempts to cover the red tint on her face with her hood and turns away.

"In your face Gizmo!" Cyborg suddenly shouts. "You're way too small to get outta that!"

"Why'd she get so mad all of a sudden?… That hurt—wait… Is this… Hey Raven," Robin calls. "Where'd you get this?"

Raven doesn't bother turning to look at him. Instead, she reaches for the part of her belt hidden behind her cloak, kind of knowing what Robin's talking about. It's not here…

Taking in a deep breath, she turns and faces him. She finds him looking at the necklace-thing Raven had picked up this morning. "What?"

"N-nothing… —Here." He walks over to her and takes Raven's hand. Dropping the thing in her palm, he closes her hand. As he lets go of her, he just gives her a smile, the smile that always makes Raven drown in. Speechless, she looks up at him, still quite hidden in the shadow of her hood.

"Umm… Well—right." He quickly turns away and looks at the rest of his team (including Terra) celebrating and talking animatedly.

Whatever the other four are talking about, Raven just realizes that Robin's not actually listening to them. "I really wonder how she got it… Oh well…"

What's so special with this?… Is this what he was looking for earlier?… She looks back up to the back of Robin's head…

…I doubt this is something Robin's giving to me… It's not like anyone gives me gifts anyway… Maybe it's Robin's…?

Maybe it is his… except… he was planning to give it to someone and, unfortunately, I picked it up… And he'd find it rude to just take it from me…

If only I can sense his feelings more… I don't understand the emotion in his tone…sad? why?

"…Whatever. I should stop thinking too much about this. What now, guys?"

"FOOD!" Beastboy immediately shouts.

"Yeah—all this fighting's makin' me hungry."

Mooooooooooooooooooooooo

Already in the pizzeria, Raven continues staring at the necklace-thing, trying to remember at least a bit of last night…

Taking some short glances at Robin, she also wonders why he doesn't look too happy. Seeing him that way already makes her feel guilty.

I'll talk to him after this.
