Teen Titans
The Wizard of Oz
Chapter 5
We're off to see the Wizard
Raven stood perfectly still eyes wide open in a daze. It was…it-it had to be her. The mage fought to control the emotions that were threatening to overwhelm her. She blinked back the tears that were a mixture of both joy and pain at the sight of the good witch.
Arella stepped closer to her daughter and put a cool hand to her cheek and Raven raised a hand to touch her Mother's soft fingers. Arella removed her hand slowly from the girl's cheek and took a step back as Raven's hand slowly dropped. The mages eyes only briefly lost contact with the woman's as Raven wanted to take all of her in. There was silence for a time as the good witch smiled kindly at Raven and the others.
"Welcome Strangers to Munchkin Land"
The word cut Raven like a knife. Strangers? The mage shook her head. No…no that can't be… it was her. It was her! Anguishes voice screamed in Raven's head and Raven finally lost control.
"No!" she screamed at Arella rushing at her now in full blown tears and pounding her fists into the woman's abdomen weakly. "No! I am your daughter! Your daughter!" she continued to shout crying harder while the earth began to quake.
Arella peered down at the violet haired child inquiringly. "Sweet child, surely you must be mistaken. I am merely Arella the good witch of these parts and I have no ere nor any daughter to speak of."
Raven shook her head her voice all but a quivering whisper. "Yes you do." She told her quietly.
Arella sighed and shook her head. "No dear, I am sorry but I do not."
Raven visibly shook with the emotion she felt and the other titans felt powerless to help their friend. Beast Boy took a step towards the mage but then took a step back unsure of how to comfort his friend. Star knew not what to do she was torn. She too wanted to comfort Raven but didn't know how.
In the end it was Robin that took the step towards Raven and draped his arm across her slender shoulders.
"Miss… Arella" he said carefully glancing at Raven and then back to the good witch. "We need to get back home, is there anyway you could help us?" he asked.
The good witch smiled. "I am afraid I can not but I know someone who can."
"Who then?" raised Star.
"Why the great and powerful Wizard of Oz" Arella informed them still smiling angelically.
Raven shook her head she like the others should have known this would be her answer. "Th-thank you" Raven murmured from where she stood still under Robin's arm and watchful eye.
"Oh dear one it pains me to see you so sad. I do hope when the Wizard returns you home safe and sound you will find your precious Mother waiting for you with open arms." And she bent down and gave Raven a gentle kiss on her forehead. "There now, I have done what I can for you child."
Raven nodded knowing the significance of the good witches kiss from having read the story so many times.
The good witch gave them all one last smile before leaving them
"Well it looks like we're off to see the Wizard." Proclaimed Cyborg and the others all nodded.
