I am leaving tomorrow and not coming back until August!Sorry for the late post (Hope this was worth waiting for. I promise to post up the next chapter as soon as I come back. Review please!
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans nor Romeo and Juliet.
The Titans were all standing outside. It was a sunny day and there wasn't a cloud in sight. Starfire was giggling as Beastboy and Cyborg were wrestling each other to the ground. Robin was rooting for Cyborg and Raven just sat in the corner reading a book. She was reading the most romantic, but yet tragic book in the world, "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. Now came the most famous line of all:
Romeo. (coming forward) He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
Enter Juliet above at window
But soft; What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.
It is my lady; O, it is my love!
O that she knew she were!
She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of it?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold; 'tis not to me she speaks.
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What is her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were night.
See how she leans her cheek upon her other hand!
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!
Men in that time were so much more romantic than now thought Raven quietly to herself. Raven loved that book and she read it already about 13 times, but she could never get enough of it. Raven read it so much that she actually memorized the lines and could recite them right at this moment. Raven was reading and then came to another famous and romantic line, but said by Juliet:
Juliet. 'Tis but they name that is my enemy
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's a Montague? It is nor hand, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff, they name;
And for thy name, which is not part of thee,
Take all myself.
Raven was mesmerized in the outstanding writing of Shakespeare. It was beautiful and she could picture it all together too familiar. Suddenly, Raven began day dreaming.
It was midnight and the moon was out. It was reflected on a lake and the light around it provided light to the world. It was a gorgeous. In the distance you could see a small boat. On it was a girl and a boy. The girl was holding up an umbrella in her right arm and she was wearing a blue puffed up dress and a blue hat. Next to her was a boy in black khaki pants and shirt with a red vest with carvings on it. The boy had the most gorgeous eyes, but the girl couldn't make out their color. His hair was spiked up and they were midnight black. The girl's hair was a very soft black color, but looked more on the lavender side. Her eyed were purple and you couldn't look away from them.
The couple began leaning to each other. They were going to kiss. Everything was perfect. A flock of birds flew by and they were in the shape of a heart. The couple was so close to each other that they closed their eyes because in moments they would already be kissing. Their lips------
A football landed right on Raven's head. She howled in pain as a bruise appeared on her head. Beastboy smiled and came up to Raven. Raven was pissed and she needed some time alone. The football began glowing with Raven's aurora and it hit Beastboy straight in the gut. He scowled in pain, but then took a deep breathe.
"He he," he giggled," thanks."
"Whatever," threatened Raven," next time…football is going to be gone like you."
Beastboy began rubbing his stomach and was walking back. Raven got back to the book and began reading again. She was dazzled by the choice of words Shakespeare chose:
Romeo.I take thee at thy word.
Call me but love-------
"Trouble," yelled Robin as the rest of the Titans, excluding Raven, followed him in to the Tower.
"Raven?" asked Beastboy," aren't you coming?"
Raven nodded her head and flew in to the Tower. Robin was turned to the screen and all the Titans saw a familiar face, no, a familiar mask. That eye staring and analyzing each Titan with great interest. After a semi-circle of movement, it moved to Robin and the person behind the mask began to speak.
"Titans," said the cold voice," pleasure seeing you again. I have a mission for each of you. You all will be put on three tasks and the last task, all of you have to fight together. Don't worry, it won't hurt a bit. Okay, maybe it will."
Everyone knew the face behind the mask was smirking. Robin opened his mouth to speak, but a laser beam struck through the screen and the image of the mask disappeared. Instead, the laser struck Starfire and she disappeared. Everyone gasped. They heard her scream fade away.
"Run!" yelled Beastboy.
All the Titans ran from the main room, each in a different direction. Beastboy was heading toward the hall with all the rooms, Cyborg ran to the garage, Robin ran to the evidence room, and Raven flew to the basement. Each Titan was scared to their deaths. One false move and who knows what might happen to them that happened to Starfire.
Beastboy turned in to a cheetah as he spotted the device sinking in from the walls of the hall. He quickly dodged all the zaps. He turned back in to a humming bird and flew off. Unfortunately, the ray zapped him and his scream faded.
Cyborg was walking as quietly as he could. He heard the scream of Beastboy, but kept quiet. He was walking to the T-Car to maybe get out and get some help when the beam hit the car. Cyborg was lucky enough to move out of the way. He got his sonic cannon ready and he aimed it at the source. He fired, but a force field appeared and Cyborg was in shock. The ray struck him and Cyborg disappeared.
Robin hid in the shadows to attack whatever might come in his way. He saw a figure coming toward him. Robin leaned to his right side and then jumped out from the shadows to attack the figure. As soon as he jumped out, he was withheld in a black aurora. He smiled, to his relief it was Raven. She let Robin go and he lightly landed on his feet.
"I saw it," Raven said dropping to her knees.
"What?" asked Robin.
"It makes them…..disappear. Cyborg is gone. I was in the garage behind your motorcycle when I saw it all."
"Did you hear-"
"Beastboy……he is also gone. Yeah, I heard Beastboy's scream."
Robin gave a hand to Raven and she got up and hugged him. He held her close, but then the wall fell apart. The ray came back. It was aiming for the couple. Robin and Raven let go, but were still holding hands. The beam was coming toward them, but then Robin pushed Raven back and she fell and watched in horror as her friend disappeared. She turned away and closed her eyes, the beam was too bright. Then, the ray disappeared and clapping was heard.
"Very, very touching," said someone.
"Slade," hissed Raven.
Slade came out from the shadows. He had something in his hand. It was a clip with a black S on it and orange was on the background. He threw it at Raven and her Raven icon from her cloak fell off and the S clip landed on her cloak. It was all going too fast so Raven didn't have any time to block anything. The other 50 was that she was scared the whole time; the ray, Robin, Slade….
"You work for me know," said Slade.
"What?" yelled Raven.
Raven started floating in the air as great pain struck her. Her hair was growing and you could she her powers fizzle around her and her cloak changes in to another outfit. It is a belly shirt with armor on his on the chest and her belly button is pierced with an S on the diamond. Her legs are not covered because she is wearing outside "underwear". Her elbows and going down is covered in fishnet gloves. Her shoes turn in to knee high boots and her cloak turns in to a small cape that is black and has a hood. She is now wearing a mask that only covers her eyes, but you could see her eyes. It covers only the outside part. Raven drops to her knees.
"This can't be real!" she yells.
"You don't have a choice," replied Slade," three tasks and up you go."
The beam returns and it strucks Raven. Slade is laughing as Raven's eye sight becomes blurry and everything blacks out.
