Chapter 2: Crash and Burn
Suddenly the plane started to shake violently, Raven's eyes snapped open. They all were bouncing up and down of their seat as it shook.
"What's going on!" shouted Raven almost hitting the ceiling.
"Turbulence?" queried Beastboy also vibrating wildly.
"This isn't normal turbulence!" shouted Terra. Terra was right! Raven noticed that the passengers were being thrown around like rag dolls.
Suddenly the whole side of the plane close to them peeled right off. She screamed as she held on to the arm of the seat for dear life. The opening was sucking her out. Beastboy grabbed her hands in an attempt at saving her.
For Raven, time was standing, oh so still. Terra was shouting something in the distance, and so was Cyborge. Raven's eyes were filled of fear as her hands started to slide out of Beastboy's.
"Let me go," said Raven, "I'll only pull you off with me."
"No I can't-I won't let you fall!" screamed BB straining to pull Raven up. It failed, Raven's hands slipped and she fell, tumbling down.
Raven was half way to the icy water below before she realized she could fly. "AZARETH METRION ZINTHOS!" she screamed, suddenly stopping in mid-air. Raven gave a grateful sigh then flew off. Soaring, Raven followed the 'dying' plane.
She flew in front of it using her powers to try and slow it down. It wasn't working, Raven strained as the plane came ever closer. She backed up trying to maintain stability.
The flaming inferno crashed almost into her, instead hitting an island below. The explosion blasted chunks of debris at her; she dodged a few, but was hit by a flaming turbine. She was knocked unconscious, falling down onto the sandy floor below.
(BB's POV)
Beastboy opened his eyes; his head was resting on a sandy mound. He lifted himself up, all of his joints aching. Then he thought of the falling titan, "Raven, where are you? Raven!" he called out fear creeping into his mind.
Cyborge pushed his head out of the sand, "Yuck," he said spitting out sand. "I've got sand in my mouth!"
"Where is everyone else?" said Beastboy struggling to stand.
Robin and Starfire also arose from beneath the sand.
"I have got this sandy substance in my goraacks," said Starfire shaking herself.
Terra limped over from the distance, "Guy's I need some help, my leg…I think it's fractured."
Cyborge walked over, "Then don't walk on it, lie down, I'll have a look." Terra did as told, "It's a defiant fracture. Stay off that leg."
"We need to find Raven," interrupted Beastboy walking over.
"Yeah, and any other survivors," said Robin, "Titans, search the shoreline." They nodded and split up, Beastboy took the ocean side.
"RAVEN!" he called out and pricked his ears as if awaiting an answer. He continued to walk down the shoreline.
A light breeze helped his eye catch the slight movement of something blue. He ran over, hope brewing in his heart. It was Raven's cloak alone, caught on a piece of rubble. His heart sunk at the sight, "Raven, where are you?"
He pulled the robe off of the rubble piece. When a sudden groan caught his attention, he turned to look further out, into the ocean. There on a rock was Raven lying unconscious on top of it.
Beastboy dived into the icy water, the chill stringing against his skin, as he swam toward Raven at top speed. Once he reached the rocky shore he grabbed Raven tightly then swam back.
Upon arriving at the shore he pulled Raven's robe over her like a blanket. He gave a worried glance, "Stay with me Raven, don't die on me, please."
Cyborge's voice broke into the scene, "BB! Come on," he ran over, "We have got to get her some medical attention."
Beastboy slowly lifted Raven up and carried her back to their camp. Cyborge offered to carry her for him, but he refused and continued on walking.
Softly he placed her on the warm sand below. BB looked at the others, "Any survivors?"
"No," said Robin, "Many bodies, though." Star shivered at the thought when Robin explained it to BB.
Terra gave a jealous look as Beastboy sat down next to Raven, caring to her gently. She ignored it and lay down to sleep.
"Will she be okay," asked Beastboy looking at Cyborge, who was checking on her.
"I think so," said Cyborge, "She'll wake up soon, maybe even tomorrow."
"Cyborge?"
"Yay, B"
"Can I tell you something?"
"Sure."
"I think I….well…I've," Beastboy's voice trailed off.
"It's okay B, I already know you like Raven," said Cyborge. "Now why don't ya stay here with your girlfriend."
"She not my-oh forget it!" said Beastboy as Cyborge made a playful smile and turned to leave.
"Wake up soon, Raven, I can't live with out you," he mumbled.
