Teen Titans

The Wizard of Oz

Chapter 6

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

"Well it looks like we're off to see the Wizard." Proclaimed Cyborg and the others all nodded.

"But how friends will we know where to find this Wizard?" Posed Starfire even though she had nodded she found herself more than a little bit confused.

"That's easy Star, didn't you ever see the movie?" asked BB before adding with a smile. "You just follow the yellow brick road."

Raven rolled her eyes, half wishing she could say something but unfortunately she couldn't argue that much the movie had gotten right.

Hours and hours passed as Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Robin, and Star all strode down the yellow brick path.

"You know, Rae, this road looked a whole lot nicer in the movie." articulated Beast Boy apprehensively while trekking alongside the silent sorceress.

Raven nodded. "It's Raven. And your right it did, though it was just like this in the book."

"Seems like they ought to fix it up a bit then" Said Robin who was uncharacteristically having trouble ambling along the road it was in such disrepair.

Raven didn't know what to say so she just said nothing and continued walking in silence staring at the yellow road ahead, while her thoughts returned to her Mother…

Star was the next to break the awkward silence. "This road of yellow brick does seem to go on for miles and miles, friends where will stop to rest?"

To this no one had an answer for no one knew exactly where or when they would be resting for the night. In the book Dorothy had befriended a Munchkin by the name of Boq and she had stayed the night there, but it had been a long time since Raven or the other's had seen any manner of a home or house along their way and Raven was beginning to think they might have passed the little man's home.

Sure enough surprisingly they had, much to Raven's astonishment they came upon the opening to a great wooded area. The cowardly lions domain it would have been in the book, surely we can't have traveled so far so fast… thought Raven, but she supposed that since she hadn't made any stops to find her companions it made sense that they should have made it to the dark forest much sooner than Dorothy, and since this was so Raven thought she ought to look for a large Oak tree for her and her friends to camp beneath like the farm girl and her friends had in the story. Sure enough, they came upon one not too far into the forest decided to make their camp.

"I am hungry" Star informed her friends and as if in response simultaneously Beast Boy's and Raven's stomachs growled as well.

"Oddly enough, I am not" stated Robin sounding a bit surprised.

"And neither am I, but I do have a strange hankering for oil" agreed the tin man.

"Tin men and Scarecrows don't eat." Raven reminded them.

"Perhaps then that is why you are not hungry friends." Proposed Starfire whose stomach grumbled again.

It was then Raven remembered the little basket she had been carrying with her that she had tucked both her copy of the book, and silver shoes in. Dorothy had, had food in the basket she wondered if they were so fortunate. Oh, thank Azar! They were! Thought Raven in high spirits as she pulled out some white bread and handed a slice to each of her comrades, or at least to the ones that did eat, as for Cyborg she also found a little can of oil tucked safely in her basket and before settling down to her own piece of bread she gave the tin man a sprits.

The team hungrily ate their bread but it was hardly satisfying. "May I have some more friend Raven?" asked Star when she was done.

Raven nodded and rationed out a few more slices. "I am afraid the bread will be gone by tomorrow."

"How long do you think it will take us to get to the Emerald City, Raven?" asked Robin.

Raven shrugged. "A couple days, it took Dorothy a lot longer, but she didn't get as far as we got tonight, and nor did she have our other strengths." The sorceress added.

Robin looked up at the sky. "Well, its getting late, team I think its time we assigned watches and went to bed." The team nodded.

"I'll take first-"Robin started but Cyborg interrupted.

"Seems to me I could just take all your watches, Tin men don't sleep, nor do they really need to charge…" he told them with a smile and the others all nodded.

This raised an interesting question to the sorceress she still had her powers. And Star did too…but Robin well he never really had powers to begin with but Cyborg and Beast Boy it seemed their powers had been somewhat limited now. Beast Boy was stuck as a lion and Cy…well he was now a more primitive version of himself. She wondered why they had been altered so much more than she or Star...there was nothing that puzzled the girl more except for well… her Mother… her thoughts couldn't seem to stray from the sight of Arella for very long…and it was no surprise to the sorceress that she dreamed of her that night.
