Yo!

This is qweer here, just wanting to give you a taddle of informatique before we carry on with our story; CHAPTER 1 HAS BEEN UPDATED ONCE MORE. IT HAS BEEN REVAMPED. MISTAKES HAVE BEEN FIXED. CHECK IT OUT!

Anyways, Thanks to:
ravenkakashiluv26, DiminjaWilloIs, KittyKuddler14896, Angelic Toaster, XLucy0117X

Also Thanks for those wonderful ideas from some reviews and PM's, they helped this chapter today.

Oh, and Before you sue us, take a moment to think. Do you really think two teenagers would own a cartoon? Do you really think we have billions to pay you back for using your characters? Do we own hover-cars? Yup. Exactly, so what would be the point in suing us? If we owned Teen Titans...well...we don't.

Enjoy...

Chapter 5

Slade awoke slowly, his body still begging him for more sleep. He didn't bother to open his eyes, still resting. A sound came to his ears. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath Metri...," It was Raven softly chanting, meditating a few feet above ground, in the lotus position. Slade sat up and turned his head to watch her. Raven didn't move from her pose. He groaned slightly. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning," still chanting, as though the worlds were part of her daily routine. Slade wasn't amused and definitely didn't look like he was. "What about your night, was it a restless sleep? Or perhaps, another nightmare?" Raven opened one eye to look at him, before shutting it. Her eyebrow was raised. "Not at all, Slade. I couldn't sleep so I thought I should meditate. I've already eaten."
After hearing her speak, he stood and reached into the haversack, pulling out a cereal bar. After tearing the packaging, he started eating the bar. He was finished within a short while. Raven sighed, standing up. "What's wrong, Raven? Are you not enjoying my company?" Raven turned to face him. "Although your company has many 'perks', I'm afraid that I'm not," she deadpanned, sarcasm dripping. "Then since you don't enjoy my company, you don't enjoy the Titans'." Ravens eyes narrowed, tired of it all. "Just leave them out of this; the TITANS have nothing to do with anything." Slade yet again, like with most things, was unperturbed. "My dear, they brought themselves into it. Realise it before you believe the lies you tell yourself." Raven just shook her head, pacing away, sighing. While she was doing that, the haversack became covered in black energy, with discarded objects being thrown back in. The sack was slung over her shoulder. Slade just followed along.
"We'd best get started, if anything," Raven stated, opening the map. "We should go south, through the mountains to reach the other side." Slade merely nodded, as an assumed approval. She spied a small steep slope, which she deemed would suffice as a starting point. Walking steadily towards it, Slade followed almost like a child does to a mother, when shopping. He was sulking for whatever reason he had deemed to be correct. Surrounding them were towering mountains and trees almost as high as the mountains themselves. The sky still showed through though, with its multiple colours. "Hiking? Quite an easy sport, if I may say so myself," Slade commented, he seemed to hold onto the words, as if they were precious to him. "Says the man who prefers living in abandoned warehouses and helping end the world," Raven quipped. Slade smirked, he did have a thing for rundown buildings, and you could gather that from previous battles. They held a strange atmosphere. He also noticed that something was wrong with Ravens statement- he had never really wanted to finish the world, and Raven herself had played a key part in it either way, but, he decided to keep his mouth shut. He shrugged, bringing his broad shoulders up. Raven was about to say something, to clarify her victory, but was stopped. She heard something like a low growl. Her lips twisted upwards. "Hungry, Slade?" In response, Slade held out his hand, signalling to stop. She obliged, becoming serious.
Her ears picked up on the slightest patter of footsteps, before a silence came again. The air whistled slightly behind her. With the flick of her wrist, she sent a shadow beam towards it. A howl was heard, before the beast fell to the ground, unconscious. She turned to look at it. A terrifying creature, it was. Covered in purple fur, it had six legs and one eyeball, stuck to what looked like a sun-flower seed head. Raven turned away in slight disgust. "Seems as if he's brought friends," she told Slade. He sunk into a stance, preparing. "No killing, Slade. They are just the same as animals!" Slade didn't approve of that, adding his own sarcasm, "Albeit the fact they're out for blood. Raven, when Robin tells me to surrender do I? When you send me a command do I have to obey?" Slade was almost mocking her, in fact, he was. Raven scowled and Slade's chuckled.
Ten more of the creatures came out, frothing mouths and bulging veins. Slade watched as a speck of the saliva hit him. It burned through a hole of his shoe, acid, he confirmed. Raven watched the situation with interest, as the creatures closed in. She summoned her powers and covered a nearby tree with them. It collided into four of them, knocking them away. The rest all spat at the same time, acid aimed at Slade. It was just about to hit, but a black shield saved him. "You owe me, Slade." She received no reply. At her speech, they turned to her, and leapt. She backed up into Slade and their backs connected. They were literally watching each-others back. "Step away," Slade ordered, holding a knockout bomb. Raven raised an eyebrow, realising what he was going to do. "No! Don't!" It was too late and the smoke emitted from the bomb, the six beasts dropping like flies into honey. The bomb continued to hiss, gas escaping. Raven coughed slightly, becoming light headed. She fought sleep, barely succeeding. Her drooping eyes glared at Slade, while he didn't even react. "I warned you, Raven." She just shook her head, too tired to fight. Slade took the lead, walking ahead. Raven lost him behind a tree, wiping her eyes. Slade stepped began to step across a large trail of almost yellow mud. Raven instantly looked his way, wanting to scream out, but he was already sinking fast.

"Quick sand!" Raven stated, stopping where she stood, now wide awake. Slade began to sink and Raven began to panic. "No, no, no! What should I do?" She began to curse, muttering words. Slade seemed calmer than her, now waist deep in the sand. "Tsk tsk, Raven. Language like that is improper for a young lady. Grab the rope from the sack and I'll pull myself out. And Raven," he called, making her eyes meet his, "Don't panic." Even in this situation, Raven could tell he was smirking. She followed his instructions and he grabbed the rope, then she sprinted back, tying it to the thickest plant she could. She began to tug on the rope. "No!" Slade's arms fell under the sand and he sank even further. Raven's emotions yelled at her, saying nothing of importance. Even Intelligence had nothing to say. It was hopeless now, as the sand poured through the vents in Slade's mask. His head disappeared, swallowed by the sand.
Raven placed her hand on her forehead then ran it through her sweat soaked hair. She decided on a plan of action. Dropping the haversack, she jumped into the quick sand, and sunk into a whole new experience, if it wasn't one already.

Okay dokey. There we go! Chapter 5!
