Chapter 2
Argent's POV!
Ok, I guess she didn't like spending time with Beast boy, given to her expression when I got in there. And what was up with those markings on her arm? They weren't there when we left her!
Hmm... Who to send in next? We were all, excluding Raven of course, relaxing out on the roof. There was finally no crime going on after a whole month filled with calls. I wonder if they were scared that we were captivating Raven, to make her as angry as possible for our next mission. That would be inhumane.
Aqualad was playing an unfair game of basketball (using the humidity in the air to move the ball into the hoop) with Cyborg, Speedy was chasing Mas and Menos for his mirror and comb, and Kid Flash was talking to Jinx about something. Which leaves Robin as my target.
How can I get him in there? I was stuck debating whether to yell out 'ROBIN! SLADE IS IN THE SAME ROOM AS RAVEN!' or 'RED X IS SEDUCING RAVEN! GO HELP HER!!' (1) But I think both of them were getting a bit too dramatic.
It was taking forever to find a way to lure him there, but then I saw Starfire come out of the doors. Then, an idea sparked in my mind.As I walked towards her, My plan was fully plotted out.
"Hey Starfire, do you think that Robin would be able to beat Raven in a fist fight? I don't, but that's just my opinion." Speedy stopped in mid-run to pay attention to our conversation and slowly, so did everyone else. They started to gather around, wondering what Starfire would say next. Robin was looking at Starfire with pleading eyes, for the sake of his reputation. (2)
"I also have those thoughts in my head, now that you mention it. I think there is absolutely no possibility that our Friend Robin would become victorious in a 'battle of the fists' with Friend Raven after what we saw today."
The watching crowd burst into laughter and Star was suddenly confused.
"Did I do something of the 'funny?'" She looked at me, and I swore I saw a huge red question mark on the top of her head.
"No, it's just now they think Robin would lose in a fight with Raven. Now watch this." I relaxed as I sat down to see what would happen next.
"I think Robin wouldn't last three minutes in a fight with Raven." Kid Flash stated.
"Nahh, from my calculations, he'd last at most thirty seconds in a fight with a girl." Cyborg continued the conversation. Ha! This is getting good, but not towards the direction I want it to.
"So Robin, are you gonna take the heat, or are you gonna prove them wrong? All you have to do is fight Raven and we'll just watch from above." After I said it, all of the guys stared at Robin. I was slowly backing off, out of the scene, to get to the overseeing room first.
"Let me get in my sweats." He mumbled off to his room. I wonder if he thinks he's going to lose.
Everyone started to run into the watching room, but I was already through the door.
Click.
"Oops! It's stuck! Sorry. I'll just video tape it!" I locked the door, but it won't hold them off for long. Knowing that much, I used my powers to hold it still. I don't want them to see everything they do in there. What if it gets romantic during the fight?
I set the power level of the shield to the complete max (which wasn't a huge change), so it'd be a fair, even fight. This is going to get interesting.
'Ok, my part is done. Robin, it's up to you now.'
Raven's POV
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" Of course I didn't need to meditate here, but I needed to keep the habit of doing so. Plus, it was either this, or watch one of the other movies we had. And they were either Disney Movies, or chic flicks like 'Mean Girls'. I need to remember not to let Starfire into Blockbuster ever again.
All of my aching muscles are now fully healed, and the shield was slightly more in control of the room, whiched helped me from exploding anything inside or outside the room. Finally, Cyborg does something helpful. Though, you'd think that a part-computer would know that I need a mattress in here.
Even though, I could still sense plenty of eyes on me. Two behind and above me, and one diagonally to my left.
I untangled myself from the lotus position. Obviously, it was useless. I was just about to give up and watch 'Mulan' when the doors opened again.
Cyborg POV
Argent must think she's so smart right now, but I've got the upper hand. Luckily, I had a Cyborgified video camera installed there after the whole 'end of the world' scene.
I went to my room, avoiding everyone's pleading attempts for me to "fix" the watching room's doors. I was able to escape to my room and turned on my monitor. The normally black screen came livid and practically became my second set of eyes, with the extreme high def.
I laid back, and got ready to enjoy the show, but then I saw a smiling face in the watching room above. Of course it was Argent. I took a closer look and noticed- Wait a sec...
Raven's POV again!
"Hey... Raven?" You didn't have to be an empath to know he was just feeling embarrassment a few seconds ago.
"Yeah?" Boy blunder being shy must mean something important. I gave him all of my attention, silently hoping he'd announce my release.
"Well, would you wanna have a match between the two of us? One on one, I won't use my weapons and it'll be fair since you can't use your powers..." His question perplexed me entirely. Hm... Yet another titan action strangely, maybe the work of Argent again?
"What brought this up?" If Argent had something to do with this...
"Well," From what I can tell through body language and my own experience with emotions, he had a conflict between Deceit and Honesty. After a moment, Honesty won. "The guys started arguing about whether I'd win in a fight with you, after what we all saw this morning, and they all pressured me to battle you.
"There are two things wrong with that sentence. One, arguing? After what I did to these walls, they would probably be thinking that you'd have no chance." Robin had a sweat drop from his face- he was hiding something, but I continued. "Secondly, pressured? Hasn't the old bat taught you not to fall under peer pressure?"
"Do you want to fight or what?" His normally serious face changed into a poker face. It was a bit freaky, since I haven't been on the receiving end of the emotionless look in forever. I waited for something to explode because of my slight fright, but when nothing did, I mentally slapped myself. 'Duh, shield equals no powers.'
I opened my eyes, not even realizing they were shut tightly. Robin stood where he was before, but with a confused expression showing. Right, he's waiting for my answer.
Hmm... Would I give up a chance to fight with the boy wonder? The answer should be rhetorical.
"Let's."
I took off my belt, my cape, the jewels on my wrists, and my chakra. The only thing I had left on were my boots and leotard. He was pretty confused by my actions- I usually wouldn't show myself under my cape even in a fight. Skillfully, I held them all in one hand, extended my arm and dropped them. Then they forcefully slammed onto the ground, practically creating a valley in the floors.
Robin just stood there, mouth wide open, immediately regretting what he just got himself into, but he took his position, and with one last gulp, looked at me straight on.
Suddenly, he dashed his way over to my right. To him it was like lightning speed, but I could move approximately ten times his speed. I ducked under his high kick and used my right arm to shove his chest to the ground, but the he twirled us around, leaving me falling to the floor.
When I hit the ground I used the reaction of slightly bouncing up to get back on my feet. He fell onto the floor and awaited for a hit, but when I didn't he looked at me oddly.
"I don't hit people unless if they hit me first. So go." I took my stance again and waited.
Another attempt to kick to my jaw, but instead of ducking, I bent all the way down (I was practically doing the splits!) and jumped. Normally, that would be a stupid move in this situation, but I was able to reach so high that my toes were a clear foot above Robin's kick. I adjusted my body into an aerodynamically built formation, with my feet leading the way. I was about to drill into his back, hard, even in the short distance.
It was all too quick for him. He was still in the middle of his kick when I attacked his back. He was pressed into the floor as I hit every nerve. Too many muscles were damaged for him to move any further. I stopped and stepped off of him. I flipped him over with my foot and looked at his face.
"Uncle." He whispered the words after breathing heavily. No doubt he ached all over, I did send a quick pounding. I kneeled next to him and healed his wounds.
"If it helps, you did last longer than I expected. It was about... forty seconds until you said 'uncle?'" I inched closer to his neck, since that's where my attack impacted the most. (3)
"Ha, I beat Cyborg's expectations too." I gave a small laugh, completely surprising him.
"Hey, just cause I act emotionless doesn't mean I have no emotions. Just ask Beast boy or Cyborg. They know all too well."
"Yeah, I heard about that. And about Rage." He shivered slightly at what Beast boy told him. "So you only have eight emotions?"
"Well, some of the extra emotions are mixed with the emotions I have."
Robin sat straight, now fully healed. His face was just inches away from mine. "Raven, why can't I go into you're mind? You've been in mine, and we've already helped you deal with your father."
"Robin, being in my head will permenantly tramatize you and me. Beast boy and Cyborg are lucky that their only problem was Rage and that I went in there to help. If you deal with my demonic emotions, then you'd be in more trouble." Robin understood, and was clearly remembering all of the videos of Raven's mind Cyborg had recorded (through his mechanical eye). Which reminded him of something, but I couldn't tell.
He glanced at the corner of the room at the direction where I felt a pair of eyes watching me. I swear I heard a small "eek" somewhere...
Robin said one more thing before he left. "Cyborg." Then I understood. First he locks me up here and then he video tapes me! Perv. But then I remembered I felt two other people watching me. I was about to ask Robin to do a quick search but Robin was sprinting out of the room before I could say something.
Hmm... I wonder what he's going to do to him.
Ok, sorry for taking so long, but at least it was a loaded chapter right!
(1) Muahhahaha. I love that pairing too much. Ohh and for those who are wondering, yeah one of these chappies will have him. Maybe half naked? drools hahaha jk... yumm... XP
(2) Come on! I gave you guys a huge hint in the prologue!
(3) I have no idea how our muscles are connected so just go along with the story!
Ok, if the fighting scene wasn't good, then sry! I'm not good at action/attack scenes unless if it's super quick and the person is crazy for blood... yeah, don't ask! lol. but try it! it's fun!!
Reviews (and ones telling me you have been constantly e-mailing Cartoon Network to continue Teen Titans) will make my chappies come faster cause it takes a load off my back. Gosh, I have almost no time to work on my stories.
Soo... Review!
Paula- OUT!
