"Here's your new baby it's a MAIL!"
First of all I would like to thank Rocky-White Wolf of Curses, YOU ROCK OUT LOUD MAN, thanks for your consistent reviews I really appreciate it.
Second to STjadetebraa for he rather odd but helpful suggestion and vote 1 for a Rob/Rae
Third El Queso de Malicioso thank you for reading my fic. Your story inspired quite a few plot elements whether you notice them or not. Thank you also for sugesting that I make up my own villian rather than put a villian that dosn't fit in my role (only Slade fits but that dosn't work in this story).
Fourth Starjadenight for vote 2 for Rob/Rae
Finally, at the request of my reviewers we're up for a rob/rae and a slade/robin pairing or clash. Also on today's menu are a few clues as to who attacked Slade (PAY ATTENTION). SKEPTICS! DON'T THINK YOU CAN JUST READ MY REVIEWS AND FIGURE OUT MY PLOT-LINE. I have mad skills (hee-ya).
The T-Car Burst through the streets of Jump city, speeding toward the source of the disturbance. They reached the B.E.A military base.
"Titans Go" yelled Robin as they all ran towards the 2 evil guards at the door. Almost immediately Robin and Slade simultaneously launched into a flying kick, their feet colliding with the guards at about the same time and rushing into the base. The others followed. Robin ran through the partially destroyed hallways jumping over debris with Slade following. Suddenly they came to the main safe door which was conveniently locked.
"So what is here anyway?"asked Robin
"It's an electrical staff, it pulls in electricity ,usually lightning, and releases it in the direction the user wants it to."
"How do we get in"
The others caught up in time to see Robin and Slade glance at each-other.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asked Slade
Robin simply nodded as they both produced explosives. They threw their devices blowing the door away revealing their culprit would stood utterly calm clapping slowly.
He glanced at his watch "Five minutes, pathetic. I expected so much more from the world famous Teen Titans. Of course you appearance here at all is nothing short of unsurprising."
"Who are you?" shouted Robin
"You can call me Blackout." said Blackout "But, I think you know the drill, LACKEYS ATTACK!"
"Actually we prefer to be called henchmen or wrongdoing associates" said one lackey
"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU CALL YOURSELVES JUST ATTACK!"
"Ok, Ok" said the henchman attacking
Apparently itching to fight Slade leapt into the air and landed in the middle the henchmen and activated a bo-staff. At this he began swinging around sending guys flying.
Beast Boy, never missing the opportunity to connect something to a movie, said "It's just like in the Matrix!"
Seemingly able to bear watching his lackeys get creamed for onlyso long Blackout shouted "ENOUGH, although I didn't expect anything less I guess I'll have to take care of you personally." he said drawingthinswords2 swords.
All of the titans leapt into action at once. Blackout went around blocking and countering attacks with nearly inhuman speed. Robin and his bo-staff were first to reach Blackout who swung around blocking Robin with both swords. Next came Beast Boy as a velociraptor. B.O. smacked him in the head with the hilt of one sword, knocking him unconscious. Starfire flew high up to avoid his reach and sent her eye beams at B.O. who angled his sword reflecting her beams at Raven knocking her to the ground. Finally he put his swords in an X pattern and caught Slade's bo-staff in-between. He then jerked his swords sending Slade spinning through the air. "I do enjoy a challenge Titans, but I must dash. My second in command and myself will pay you a visit when you least expect it. Toodles" he said leaping through the air doing a backflip and just as he was going to hit the ground there was a millisecond long flash and he was gone.
Beast Boy got up conscious once again and launched into motor-mouthed praise. "Slade that was AMAZING, they were like 'ooh we're henchmen' and you were like 'hee-ya, matrix moves, bam, pow..."
Robin walked away from the group don't let jealousy consume you Robin, calm, relax he thought to himself.
Raven walked up and said "You OK?"
"I'm fine" said Robin "you guys go on back to the tower, I need a walk."
Robin walked down the alley slowly and solemnly. He had to find out who was attacking Slade and why they wanted him out of the way. Then out of nowhere a metal pipe spun through the air directly at Robin's head. Robin ducked just in time turning to where the attacker had stood. Suddenly he heard movement behind him. He grabbed the pipe midair without turning around and spun, a boomerang in hand. All he hit was air, the pipe still in his hand and the attacker gone just as quickly as he had come.
A half hour later Robin saton an infirmiry bed, Starfire flying around him asking him questions about his health and safety.
"Are you unharmed?" "do you know who it was?" "Do you require an Advil?" She said
"In order Star, Yes, No and NO!" said Robin
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm fine. I just need some sleep" he replied walking out of the infirmary and down the hallway, Raven followed.
"You had me worried, I can't even think of what would've happened if you had actually been hurt." she said
"I'm fine" he said, kissing her on the cheek. "I'll see you in the morning."
Raven stood there for a moment, Robin just (sort of) kissed me she thought to herself going to her own room.
The next morning was a buzz. Robin and Cyborg trying to find out all they could about this Blackout, while Beast Boy tried frivolously to defeat Jeiming at Halo. Starfire sat beside Beast Boy and watched him play while Raven meditated.
"Cake's ready!" yelled Sladeholding out a baked likeness of Martha Stewart comelete with frosting "paint". Thisdistracting Beast Boy long enough to fall off a cliff and trigger a game over.
Before Beast Boy could protest the alarm went off again. Cyborg looked up from the computer and said "It's Dr. Light"
A/N: Ha-Ha another cliffhanger! Sorry about the opinion chapter, I hate them too but I had writer's block and didn't want to give you guys some insane timetable for my next update. Also as a tolken of my sympathies for having an imput chapter might I point out that this chapter is about the same legnth as the rest of the story. The next chapter will be out as soon as I finish it, no more waiting.Keep reviewing -beans
p.s. Blackout is my creation for those of you who were confused.
p.p.s In the words of the Beverly Hillbillys theme song guy "You all come back now ya hear."
