Chapter 11- Friends

*Crunch

The sound of Beast boy and Tiffany as they raced across the field, the only other sound to be heard was the sound of the animals as they mind their business in the great ol' Africa. As the two now approached the jungle they began to slow to a jog, there final obstacle was a small hill. Beast boy began to see himself and Tiffany sitting watching animals race by, his eyes full of wonder, hope... happiness. He turned his head to see a small buffalo running alone trying to catch up with his family. As it grew closer it fazed through him and the memory slowly faded away.

They finally raced up the final hill, now at a slow walk. They had been traveling for about an hour and they were drawing closer to what Beast boy once called "home". Floods of thoughts had raced his mind, coming so quick he began to lose focus. Forgetting each thought as soon as another one came. Beast boy and Tiffany had finally reached the end of the jungle and a new smell had reached his nose.

A smell of destruction, smoke that had once burnt down their small camp. Beast boy began to see what now had become of their camp. Everything was gone, all of the life, the hope... the happiness. Tents burnt to the ground, he could see the logs that surrounded the center of the camp which was now a black hole. He saw his old tent. Some of which was still there, however most of the tent was either a dark brown or a burnt crisp. He walked through the tent and saw his old room, he walked in and saw a hole slowly growing in the roof into the side of the tent. He saw his dresser the only thing really standing.

The dresser had a small picture frame, he grabbed it and looked at it closely. It was cracked, starting at the top right and ending in the middle. He could see his mother and father, smiling happily. While he sat in the middle, looking like he was laughing when the picture was taken. Tiffany waited outside, allowing Beast boy to see their now village in peace. It was his idea to come here, he suggested they could still salvage some things from here. Tiffany however only agreed to return, because of the message.

A message from those who had survived and fled for their own safety. They left a carving in an old oak, that only their tribe knew... only the bloodlines. The message led those to where they fled, a way to be safe. Her way to a better life. She saw Beast boy walk out of the tent, stuffing something into his pocket. She knew better than to ask. She then saw the marking as he walked to her, to the left of him. She jogged to him before he could get much farther and hugged him.

As she did so, She read the marking on the tree, 'head to where the sun sets and at the next marking make a right and then you shall see us once again'. They put this marking here for those who were missing they could find a way home, to their loved ones.

"I'm sorry, it should not have ended this way." Beast boy said, sounding discouraged.

"I know...I know." She replied reassuringly.

Meanwhile*

"How much longer until we reach Beast boy?" Robin asked walking into the kitchen to see Starfire and Cyborg sitting at the table eating breakfast, Raven sat quietly drinking her tea.

"We will reach Africa in about eight hours or so." Cyborg replied looking at the computer installed in his arm, this way if there were to be any harm to the submarine he would know about it.

"Eight hours, or so?" Robin questioned grabbing a little snack from the fridge.

"Well its an estimation. We may arrive under eight hours or a little over eight hours. However if I were to give an educated guess, I would say a little under eight hours." Cyborg said, while making each machine do a quick check to make sure nothing was damaged.

"Good, before we arrive I would like everyone to one last training exercise. Starfire your first, when she is done, Cyborg your next and last is Raven." Starfire got up quickly and walked to the training room with Robin. Cyborg looked at Raven with a small smile before returning the couch and began playing on his game-station. Raven rolled her eyes before walking out of the kitchen and to her room. The door opened and closed with a swish leaving Raven in her cold room.

Raven then grabbed three candles and lit them up in a triangular formation. She then sat in the middle before rising, due to her meditation. She relaxed her lower jaw and began to breath in 1-2-3-4, out 5-6-7-8. She repeated the process several times before seeing yet another vision. This time she could see herself and her three other Titans rushing to an old, but new looking building. She tore a chunk of the wall out, enclosing it in black magic before setting it to the side. She could see Beast boy and Tiffany fighting for the cure. They joined in on the crusade, punching what seemed to be robots. Finally, when all said was done a figure emerged from the shadows and all she heard was the oud bang of a gun and one last scream.

Before she could see anything else the room was flushed with a cold wind, blowing out the candles and knocking her out of concentration. She could hear her emotions rattling inside her head, questions and comments being flushed into her brain. 'Who was that shadow.', 'Who screamed.', 'I'm not surprised something like this was bound to happen.'

Before anything more could be said, Raven rushed to her dresser and grabbed her mirror that sat on top. She then began to meditate once more, except this time for a different reason. When she opened her eyes she could see all of her emotions sitting down waiting for her to answer all of their questions. Passion stood up and began to speak.

"I hope it wasn't Beast boy, if something ever happened I would-" She stopped suddenly when she and other emotions saw Raven put one hand in the air, silencing them.

"Does anyone know who was shot, and who shot the bullet?" Raven asked in her monotone voice. Knowledge stood up as well.

"Well, by my calculations it may not have been a bullet, but another type of weapon that could create a high frequency." Knowledge, said pushing her glasses before they slid off of her face.

"So none of you know anything?" Raven asked one more time.

"No." Knowledge answered.

"Just don't let that thing get out, or else well I don't even need to say anything." Rude/lazy said before getting up and walking away. Raven knew exactly what she meant. If Rage ever got out, it would be very bad. Rage is crazy, but vulnerable at the same time. Before she could ask any other questions she heard a knock inside her head, booming around Nevermore.

"Looks like someone has to go. Go rescue Beast boy." Passion said before Raven opened her eyes and walked over to the door as it swished open. Robin appeared on the other side, which she new already what was next.

"Its your turn. Even you need to train." Robin said as he began to walk to the training room. Raven sighed, and began walk to behind Robin.

"The training room, is your favorite place isn't it?" Raven asked in her monotone voice. All Robin did was smile and continue to walk.

Beast boy and Tiffany had been walking for little over two hours and were growing tired. They had once been walking with a good pace, but when an hour passed by they grew more and more tired with each step.

Suddenly Tiffany dropped her bag and sat down leaning on the tree, Beast boy stopped and sat down next to her.

"I'm tired." Tiffany said, breaking the silence between them.

"Yeah, we really close too only another half an hour or so. This is a good distance then we will pick it up tomorrow, so you know we won't be tired." Beast boy said with a smile.

"Yeah, good night Gar." Tiffany said, and Beast boy said good night back. The two began to sleep when Beast boy felt a warm hand touching his. He did not know what to do so did nothing.

It grew morning and Beast boy woke up before Tiffany, he grabbed his backpack and grabbed his breakfast. He began to eat it and checked his watch to see what time it was. It read 7:15, so he decided to let Tiffany sleep for another fifteen minutes before he would wake her up.

Of course she was only asleep for another five minutes before slowly opening her eyes to see the bright morning sun.

"Good morning." Tiffany said startling her friend.

"Good morning."

"What time are we going to leave?" Tiffany asked getting up and joining him in breakfast.

"Well being that your up now, around 7:30, we have to walk though."

"Why, when we can just fly." Tiffany stated.

"We can't be spotted, if they see a green and purple bird flying above them they will know its an intruder." As Tiffany heard this she soon realized he was right. Being spotted will lose the element of surprise. About then minutes later they started to walk once again.

"Booyah." Cyborg cheered and the other Titans came to see what all the excitement was about.

"What's up Cyborg?" Robin asked wiping away the tired that was in his eyes.

"Where here! Welcome to Africa my friends." Cyborg exclaimed. Robin smiled and Starfire floated in the air and cheered as well, clapping her hands. Raven stayed quiet thinking about her last vision. Raven would never admit, but very deep down she was worried. She knew that the bullet could not have hit her, otherwise she would have felt as if her heart had stopped. She would have felt a small gap between death and life, a chill down her spine.

However she did not feel such things. Deep down she was worried it had been a very close friend. If it had been Tiffany she be sad and a little upset, but if had been Starfire or even Beast boy she would be filled with rage. Sadly it was more likely it had been a friend, the ratio was 4 to 1. Its like winning the lottery.

They know had begun to rise towards the surface, Cyborg dropped the anchor and the sub still stayed about two feet underwater so they would not be spotted. Raven then encased herself and her friends in a bubble of black magic and floated to the surface. As they reached the surface a bright light causing them to squint.

"Yeah, we may now finally find our friends!" Starfire exclaimed happily.

"Friends?" Raven asked coldy, the rest of the Titans looked at her their smiles fading.

"Yes, Beast boy and Tiffany. Tiffany is a friend, yes."

"I dont trust her, I feel like there is something she is not telling us." Raven said when she began to see a dark smoke against the night sky. The others saw this too and walked closer. Cyborg began to check his mini computer in his arm and the others could tell that something was wrong.

"Hmm. That's not supposed to be there." Cyborg said and knew that, that was the place.

"Ok, we will make camp and head there in morning. We will leave around eight and do a little check to see if we find Beast boy and Tiffany or something suspicious." Robin aid walking over to where the beach ends and jungle begins and set his things down. The others followed.

"Good night."

"Good night."

"Good night friends."

"See you in the morning."
