Okay second day in a row since my last chapter was painfully short but I got 22 views in less than 20 hours, so i feel like I should make this better. This chapter will have more dialog so it should be better. And thank you Ever Winter Wood for being the first person to ever follow one of my stories and thank you raven-fan14 for being the first to ever favorite one of my stories, I plan on reading both your fics first chance I get.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans (wow my second ever disclaimer and already I'm starting to find it annoying)
So without further ado...
"Speedy?" Raven whispered confused. What's speedy doing here. When that voice said all my friends I thought he just meant the Titans, not the Titans East.
As she was trying to figure out this confusing fact Speedy had put her down, and also stared at her confused.
"Um… hi" Speedy spoke to break the awkward silence. "Speedy, What are you doing here!?" "Well in case you didn't notice I don't really have a choice. Even if I did… Why wouldn't I be here?" Speedy said matter of fact. "I thought only the Titans were here" Raven told him. "Well considering we were already in Jump City, it would only make sense that we were caught too" Speedy replied. "Wait! You were in Jump?" Raven asked confused. "Ya don't you remember us coming to visit, and to help you take down some tough villain you were having trouble with?" Speedy responded. "Well… that does seem familiar…" Raven mused. "But admitting we need help doesn't sound like something Robin would do". "It's not, you seriously don't remember anything do you. Robin blew a fuse when he found out Cyborg had called us for backup." "Now that sounds like Robin" Raven concluded.
The sun had now completely set and outside it had turned frigid and dark. "Come on, stand out here any longer and we'll be too frozen and sick to figure anything out" Speedy told her. "Okay, but where are we supposed to go?" Raven asked. "I found a cavern on the side of this cleft. It leads to a network of caves. Thats how I got to this ridge." Speedy answered. "Oh…" Was all Raven said in response. "By the way, you're welcome" With that Speedy smirked and walked inside. It had to be Speedy Raven thought pensively as she went inside the mouth of a cave.
"Welcome to casa de Speedy!" he exclaimed as they entered the cave. He dropped a bundle of sticks, that she hadn't noticed he'd been carrying, into a circle of stones surrounding a pile of grass, leaves, and moss. How does he plan to start a fire without a match? He doesn't seem like the woodsy type. She watched intently as he picked up a rock that she recognised as flint and took his bow off his back. Speedy started scraping the flint on his bow and sparks started flying off. After a few minutes one finally started a small flame, which quickly spread into a large campfire. "Where'd you learn to do that" Raven asked amazed. "Where I grew up it was something that you just had to learn" Speedy answered. Raven wanted to ask him where he grew up but knew better than to pry for information from someone who wears a mask 24/7.
Speedy sat down near the fire, put down his bow, and lay down on the ground. "So I'm guessing you want a recap" Speedy stated rather than inquired. Taking her silence as a yes, Speedy continued. "Okay so you guys were having trouble with a new villain who could rob banks then disappear in the blink of an eye right? Speedy asked for confirmation. "I remember that, right" Raven replied. "So after a few butt whoopings Cyborg went against Robin's orders and called a group meeting. Where you, Starfire, Cyborg, and Beastboy took a vote to decide whether to call us or not". "Right, I voted not". "Gee, thanks Raven". "Either way 3 of you-" "two of us" Raven interrupted. "Huh?" Speedy said with a confused look. "We decided on rock, paper, scissors." Raven replied, bluntly. "Wow, feeling the love". "Just get on with it" Raven said with an eye roll. "Fine" Speedy huffed. "Anyway we arrived and Robin freaked out and started yelling like a maniac. Luckily… or maybe not so luckily the alarm went off right then" Speedy continued. "It was the new villain again. The second we got there, a fight broke out. We all got our butts kicked. Instead of running away, he said he wanted to play a game. Then he muttered some magic words of something, a bright flash of white light, and poof I'm waking up here" Speedy concluded.
"First things first, never say poof again" Raven started. "noted, Speedy said looking slightly irritated. "Secondly, where are all the others and why are we here?" Raven asked. "Well I woke up in a chasm, you woke up in the forest, so maybe the others woke up in different places all over this land" Speedy said. "Maybe, but how big IS this land?" Raven wondered aloud. "There's only one way to find out" Speedy stated. "Tomorrow we'll go out and look for the others". "Fine" Raven responded as she lay down on the other side of the fire. "As for now, good night Rae" Speedy told her. "Don't call me Rae" Raven muttered. Roy chuckled, and soon after the sound of light snoring signified he had fallen asleep. A howling roar sounded somewhere outside of the cave and seemed to echo off the walls, sending shivers up Raven's spine. Just what is out there?
Slightly longer right? don't worry I'll update frequently. Thanks for reading. Check back soon. All advice, criticism, and ideas welcome.
