I make my way down the street and walk in front of what used to be the old ware house. I change back into my human for and slip throught the rubble.
Using my senses I start to look for my glider. I find it sticking out in between a wooden beam and a metal sheet. Great two things I can't bend. I pull my glider trying to dislodge it. It's not working! I put my foot on the metal beam and pull even harder. It slides out and I fall backwards.
I hold the glider in my hands. It's a pretty glider, sleek with runes carved into its western air temple style and bright orange wing fabric. I inspected it to make sure nothing was broken. Good no damage. I hear a car mad motorcycle pull up behind me. I turn around.
"Friend why did you run away?" Starfire asks cautiously. A pain hits my heart. These people really do care...and I'm going to get them killed. I let out a whimper. The Teen Titans eyes widened and Starfire gasped. I turned around. Two cicada-robots were melting out of the shadows. "Because. Them." I say weakly. I shift into wolf form droping my glider.
I grow loudly and then bark even louder. Hackles razed I take a running leap towards the cicada-robots. As I sink my teeth into one of them I kick the other one back sending it flying through the air. I shook the one in my mouth violently until it falls to pieces. I whirl around to face the other one. I glance at my glider laying right under the floating thing. I run towards it. Sliding under and grabbing my glider in my teeth. I get behind the cicada and transform back human so quick if you blink you miss it.
The cicada-bot charges. It shoots glowing yellow knives at me. I backflip to avoid the glowing yellow knives that stick in the ground in front of me. Except for one, that hits my calf leaving a large cut. I don't even flinch. That all you got! You've hit me worse. I can't see the teen titans but I sense all of there heart rates just increased. Let's show them what your made of! I picked up the knife that had cut me. Still has my blood on it, oh well. I throw the knife and it hits the cicada robot square in its "face". It sparked and fell to the ground.
" I think I know what to do." Raven says.
"Be careful Raven." Robin warns. She walks toward me. I tense and she stops. When I relax again she walks forward more. Ok so she's not gonna hurt me. She continues walking slowly until she's within arms reach.
She puts her hand on my shoulder and presses. She wants me to sit down? Ok. I start to sit down. Hand still on my shoulder Raven guides me down. When I'm kneeling down she takes her hand off of my shoulder. She looks into my eyes, at my leg, and then into my eyes again. She wants to check my leg. I take my wonded leg out from under me. Raven puts her hand under my heel and lifts my leg a little.
With her other hand she gently pushes back my ripped jeans. A black aura lightens around her hand. I try to back away frightend. I She looks me in the eyes again, this time with a slight smile. I relax. She puts her glowing hand on my cut. It doesn't hurt... I look at my leg as the black aura slowly heals my skin not leaving a single mark. Raven takes her hand off and lowers my leg. She slides back a little bit.
I place my hand on the place where the cut was. Not a scratch. I nood my thanks to Raven. She stands up and takes her place by the Teen Titans. I stand up. Tears cloud my eyes. I'm gonna get her killed. I drop my head.
"Come back to the tower with us Leaf." Cyborg coaxes. A tear rolls down my cheek. I'm sorry I can't. I'll get you all killed. I look away and shake my head. I open my glider and with one big sweep of air, take off into the night sky.
