"Grass stain! Get your ass back over here!" Cyborg came barreling through the hallway covered in a blue gooey substance, chasing a green monkey.
"I said I was sorry!" Beast boy yelped back, making his way into the kitchen/living room. He hooked his hands on various things in the room to make it to the fan on the ceiling.
Cyborg threw his fists in the air cursing profanities. "You better come down right now or the Sonic cannon is coming out to play!"
"You wouldn't dare!" The monkey shouted down.
The mechanical hero gave him a crazy look and his arm transformed into the deadly cannon. "Try me!"
There was a yelp then Beast boy transformed into a bird and flew down and out of the room. Cyborg rushed after him shouting, "You can fly, run, and climb, but you can't hide!"
Throughout this whole ordeal, Raven was floating in a lotus position looking out the window, almost completely oblivious to the world around her. Her hood was off, exposing her dull purple eyes.
They held a small, inhuman glow, but there were glimpses of a true being behind them.
The horizon she was examining was certainly a sight to behold. (That is, to any average person who had never seen it before.) But the Titans have had the pleasure to see the view almost everyday. You could say that they barely give the view a second's glance anymore. So it was nice that Raven was taking the time to enjoy it.
After all, it really was a good place to stop and meditate.
The sun looked incredible as it dropped low against the far lines of the sea. Purples, oranges, reds, yellows, blues decorated the sky.
Some of the waves crashed on the cliffs around the tower, bringing a sense of adrenaline to the picture. The more she looked upon the sight, the more she seemed to smell the fresh, cool sea without having to be outside. She cherished it and inhaled deeply closing her eyes, and allowing the calming sensation take over.
The feeling was a good temporary substitute. Until the feeling of dread came back.
She had no idea where it came from, but nearly all day, she had a tingling feeling prickle the back of her mind. Someone was warning her of something.
'But what?'
Her facial expression dropped more.
"What is the wrong friend Raven?" Starfire gently floated over to the demonic girl, her hands lazily held behind her back.
"Everything's fine."
"Are you the sure?"
"Yes."
Starfire was silent for a second, before she joined Raven in the cross legged pose. She looked at the view with shining eyes and a small smile, but her demeanour was uncharacteristically slouched.
"The view is beautiful, no?"
Raven nodded.
There was another long silence before Starfire sighed and looked down. "I must confess that I have been feeling the down all day and I do not know why." She looked to the side. "I do not like this feeling."
Raven almost looked at her after hearing those words, slightly surprised that the Tameronian was feeling the same thing she was. "I feel it to."
"You do?" Starfire looked hopeful. "What is it and how do I make it go away?"
"It'll go away on it's own. But this feeling is warning us of something that's coming. Something bad."
Starfire glanced out the window again. "Should we not tell friend Robin?"
Raven was silent then she spoke dully. "You can."
The Tameronian slowly came out of her position and descended until her feet barely touched the floor. "I will. Thank you friend Raven, this is much appreciated."
With that, Starfire floated out of the room and into one of the many hallways of the tower. Leaving Raven alone with the small warning of things to come.
….
"Hey! Fenturdia!" Dash barreled through the hall, calling out the raven haired boy. "I got a D on my English test, and I blame you."
Danny always thought it was kind of funny how he always shouted out to the world how he fails in class. Everyone would probably laugh and some would probably help him get his grades up if 1; he wasn't the biggest and 'strongest' jackass/jock in the school and 2; if he wasn't unteachable.
Danny rolled his eyes, taking some books from his locker. "Not today Dash. I'm not in the mood for another one of your PMS episodes."
"I'll make you eat those words." He pointed down at him and tried to make himself look bigger and more scarier, but Danny barely blinked or flinched.
He really wasn't in the mood to put up an act to mask who he really was. He doesn't like being the wimp who's too scared to face up to someone bigger than himself, just to hide his identity.
And really, Dash has been doing this for what? 3 years? 4? Seriously. Their almost Seniors. He needs to stop acting like a child.
'It's too early for this'
"Yeah. Knock yourself out." Danny closed his locker and started walking away. "I'm going to class."
"Oh no your not." Dash grabbed the hero's arm, a little harshly, not expecting Danny to twist it at an odd angle and bring him down to his knees.
If you were to look really closely, you'd be able to see a trick of light that turned the ghost teen's eyes into a slightly glowing green color.
"Yes. I am." Danny let go. "We're almost Seniors Dash."
He started to walk away again, not even bothering to see the stunned look on Dash's face. "Just buzz off."
….
"Mr. Fenten. Late as usual." Mr. Lancer said as he walked in.
"Dash's fault. He tried to start a fight." Was all Danny replied with, surprising half the class and causing Lancer to give him a strange look.
"... Alright… Take a seat."
Danny shrugged and went to his normal seat next to Sam and Tucker. He sat down and put his back back on the floor next to him as Lancer started the class with a small lecture on Medieval literature via projecting slides.
"Hey…" Sam leaned over and whispered. "You feeling ok?"
Tucker leaned in too. "Yeah, no heat spikes or anything?"
Danny just folded his arms across the desk and put his chin on his forearms. He was looking at the projecting photos of the medieval villages with a blank stare. "Nah. Everything's fine... Just tired."
"Ms. Manson, Mr. Foley, and Mr. Fenton." Lancer sighed with some exaggeration. "I am trying to teach a class."
"Sorry Mr. Lancer, won't happen again." Tucker said,while Sam nodded and Danny lied there.
"I'll hold you up to that." He lazily gestured to the projecting screen. "Now. Many of the medieval literary works revolved around religion, history, and fabled stories that were believed to be true by the people." He changed to the next slide, revealing a dooming picture of a man on a demon horse with batted wings. He was presented in large black and grey armor carrying a long, deadly, toxic sword. "For example, the fabled story of the Fright Knight;"
The Trio perked at that.
"The Fright Knight was said to be a horrid ghost that came in the night to taunt and scare the villagers. But historians think it was just a bedtime story to scare the children and encourage them to behave better or else the Fright Knight would come and take them away."
Danny smiled slightly, finding it funny that he was learning about a 'story' he already knew first hand. He looked over at Tucker and Sam, seeing their small smiles as well.
….
For the rest of class, Lancer droned on and on about different topics while the students took notes every once and awhile.
But it was ultimately boring, so when the bell rang, no-one hesitated to leave the room to go to lunch.
Today was meatball sub day, Tucker's favorite school lunch dish and Sam's least, so she brought her own lunch.
"So," Tucker started as they say down at their usual table. "Danny, what're you doing after school?"
"Nothing much I don't think. Just the usual." The teen ate some of the pineapple fruit on his plate. Why?"
"No reason." Tucker shrugged. "What are you doing tomorrow?"
"Uh," Danny stopped eating a looked at him. "School. Like every other Thursday til May 25th."
"Oh, right." Tucker randomly stuffed half of his sub in his mouth.
Danny let out a chuckle. "Everything's going to be fine Tuck."
He looked at both of them. "You guys don't have to worry. I told you that I'll call the second I feel overheated. Plus I have that gem that Frostbite gave me."
The worried duo looked at each other uncertainty.
"Alright.. If you say so." Sam looked down at her salad. "But you aren't going on patrol-"
"What? No, I hav-" Sam stopped him, raising her hand in front of his face.
"Without us." She finished. "And we're only going to be out for an hour. At most."
She crossed her arms. "Nothing more than that."
Danny smiled. "Thanks."
"Don't thank me. I'm only agreeing to this because I know you'll just go out with or without our permission anyways." She leaned back with a small scowl, then muttered 'stupid hero complex' under her breath.
"Still.." He smiled warmly, then finished eating.
….
How was that? Give me a review! (The only reason I said May 25 is the last day of school is because that's today! Last day of my Freshman year in High School! Go Mountain Lions!)
Also, sorry if this chapter gave you two updates, I forgot to edit it before posting XD got too excited
