'Okay... we're in trouble!'
Raven could feel something digging into her leg and she looked down. Mas and Menos were holding tight to her leg, trying to hold onto something solid. She looked up as another gust of wind blew back her hood and let her violet colored hair flow out. She raised her hands to put up a sheild and she couldn't, instead, she blew a hole in the ground.
Control Freak laughed his "evil" laugh and he held up a remote. "You are mine, Raven!"
Raven had a question mark pop out of her ear and she shook it away. "What do you want?!"
"The Brain would like a word with the pretty princess!" Control Freak hit a button and his new toy, a robot with a containment cell, tried to grab Raven, who jumped out of the way, holding Mas and Menos over her head. She wove around every attempt until it got her. She dropped Mas and Menos on Kid Flash and she struggled to get free. No use, and Control Freak kept laughing at her. "You can't get away this time!"
It began to constrict her so much that she screamed, her gem flaring with black lightning that spread like wildfire through her body and down to the earth, a sickening CRACK! filling the air as the air snapped and crackled in the wake of her lightning. She screamed again, but this time, she was calling for someone. Again, she screamed. "Robin!" CRACK! another flare of lightning hit the earth and began to break it open. CRACK! and the pavment went flying off.
Raven's body began to dissappear into the holding cell in the robot when a huge and threatening CRACK deafened the air. Raven's powers threw a huge lightning bolt to the heavens that met another lightning bolt coming down from the skies. The deafening sound had caused Raven to explode into a black raven that filled the skies, consuming the city and devouring the light for a moment. And then it faded away, dissappearing into the distance of memories. Raven had finally passed out.
Robin felt something inside of him rip appart at the sight of Raven's limp body in that cell as it closed in around her. Something about Raven made him love her, but he didn't understand! He showed more love to Starfire than to Raven, so why'd he fall in love with Raven like this? He used momentum to get up there and his titanium-steel staff collided with a claw coming at him and he managed to land squarely on the top of the robot's head. He swung the staff and it came down and broke a hole in the top, sparks flying everywhere. When he swung again, the robot grabbed him and threw him. He spread himself out and grabbed a light pole.
A flare of pink and Jinx sent a wave of her powers at the creation, no effect. Red fire balls shot passed a dangling hero and Hot Spot appeared below Robin. None of their powers were working to free Raven. Every attack was just absorbed or repelled. Robin watched, his heart sinking, as he dangled there and Control Freak got away with Raven. He felt like he was back at the moment Kitten was taking him to the prom... he felt horrible and disfigured.
'Raven! I'm sorry...'
Jinx looked up, over her shoulder, at Robin, her eyes looking sorely hurt. She quietly hopped up to help Robin down. She was very quiet as she landed lightly with Robin on her back. "I hope Raven will be okay." Jinx looked at Robin as she spoke her next words. "She's got a knight in shinning armor that's going to save her." She felt a hand touch the top of her head and looked.
It was Aqua Lad. "Raven's strong, she'll make it. Robin?"
He didn't respond, he simply slid off of Jinx's back and walked quietly to a blue cape drapped over a twisted and bent light pole. Speed gave a quick snort and everyone looked at him, even Robin. He smiled wearily. "So, we all agree Raven needs saving?" They gawked at him. "GOOD! I nominate Robin to save her!"
Mas and Menos stared at each other and then laughed at Speed. Jinx gave him a death glare. Kid Flash and Aqua Lad tried their hardest not to burst out laughing like the twins. A few moments later and Starfire was able to say something. "Perhaps we shall all go?"
"Nope."
"Speed?"
"We do need a distraction."
"But we are not the greatest at distractions for our friend."
"Starfire! Your a genius! Blow the door down!" Aqua Lad said, pounding his fist onto his open palm. "We can just blow down the front door and Robin sneaks in the back! Or... vice versa..." He gave his charming smile that had charmed Raven and Starfire quiet easily.
Robin spoke next, silencing everyone's laughter and chattering. "I'll save Raven. Thank you for giving me a chance to apologize." He turned around, Raven's cape in his fist. "I'll save her, even if it costs me my life."
They all aplauded him.
'I'm coming Raven, I swear.'
