Here's chapter two. I know it's boring for a while, but the end is much more enjoyable in this chapter. Hope you enjoy it.


Chapter Two

If you hadn't already guessed, the girl in the blue cloak is Raven of the Teen Titans.

Raven quickly took the little girl in her arms and flew her to the hospital.

"Robin," Raven called over her communicator.

"Meet me at the hospital. Now," Raven closed the communicator before Robin could even ask why.

***

Robin was a little worried by the short and harsh message Raven gave him. He gathered the other Titans and immediately went to the hospital. He wasn't sure what to expect, but they all hoped that Raven wasn't hurt.

They apparently arrived before Raven did and waited at the entrance. A few minutes later, they saw her flying towards them. Fast. They started to wave at her when she came closer, then she flew past them, causing a wave of wind to brush past them. The Titans had no idea what was going on. They rushed in the hospital, doing their best to follow Raven. They lost her. An hour later Raven found them stumbling around the hospital, asking nurses and doctors if they'd seen a purple haired half demon.

"What's going on?" Robin asked when she finally reached them.

Raven wore a worried expression. "Follow me," She simply said.

They followed her down a few halls and into a small room. A little girl laid in a hospital bed, tubes and wires clinging to her limp body.

The Titans looked at Raven questioningly.

Raven took a deep breath. "There was someone trying to rob this man while I was waiting."

"Why were you waiting again?" Beast Boy asked.

Raven rolled her eyes. "I was waiting to meet whoever sent that note."

"What note?" Beast Boy asked. The other Titans rolled their eyes.

"Don't you ever pay attention?" Raven asked frustrated.

"No, not really," Beast Boy replied truthfully.

"The note said they had some information that could mean life or death. They told me to wait there and I did. Guess I'll never find out now…" Raven said as an after thought.

"What does she have to do with the note and the robbery?" Cyborg asked.

"The robber had a gun, It went off when I was trying to stop him. She was shot in the process," Raven explained sadly.

"Will she be okay?" Starfire asked.

Raven nodded. "They're contacting her parents now."

The Titans looked at the blond girl with remorse. "I'll take care of everything," Robin told Raven. "Go get some sleep."

"But I…"

Robin gave her a stern look.

"I'm staying," Raven said firmly. "At least until her parents get here."

"Fine," Robin said. "We'll all stay."

Raven gave Robin one last stare before pulling up a chair and sitting next to the girl's bed. Little did she know her trouble's were just beginning.

***

Her name was Nikki Stiens. She was thirteen years old with long blond hair and brown eyes. She had been sneaking out of the house the night she was shot. She regretted it. She woke up in the hospital with five strangers in the room. Very strange strangers. One with green skin and hair, another with green eyes and red hair, one half made of metal, and a guy dressed as a stop light, and a girl with purple hair and a blue cloak. They all looked at her with sad eyes.

The blue cloaked girl stepped forward. She looked the most worried. "Are you alright?" She asked.

Nikki started to realize the pain in her stomach. Where she'd been shot. She instinctively laid one of her hands on it. The girl with purple hair looked down.

"I'm sorry," Raven said.

"For what?" Nikki asked.

"It's my fault you're here. If I had been more careful, more observant…"

"I don't-" Nikki began before the door opened. Her parents. One of them anyway.

Her mother rushed into the room in her usual histrionic way.

"Are you alright honey?" She cried, running to her side.

"Where's dad?" Nikki asked.

"Working," Her mother said quickly. "What happened? What are you doing here?" She said turning to the Titans.

Raven explained what happened, and that she would pay for all the expenses, which the mother received graciously. Raven tried to apologize to Nikki further, but the nurse shoved them out the door since her legal guardian had arrived and the patient needed to rest.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, where the incident had happened, Brother Curry had finally finished talking to the police. He was again continuing on his way, repeating the events over and over in his head. The one thing that stuck out clearly in his mind was the blue cloaked girl. She gave him bad feelings at just the thought of her. He somehow pushed it out of his mind as he continued on his way, but the feeling came back.

He stopped.

He was being followed. Whoever it was, stepped out from the shadows. It was a man wearing black robes. His face covered, but his eyes seemed to glow with what light it could take from around it.

"Wh-who are you?" Brother Curry asked fearfully.

The man was silent for some time. "I'm here to tell you that this city is in danger."

"What are you telling me for?" Brother Curry asked warily.

"You are the only one who can stop this from happening. You can save these people." The man said smoothly.

"H-How?" Brother Curry inquired.

The man removed a box from his robes. He stretched it towards the priest. The priest took it cautiously.

"Use that," The man said simply before turning.

"Wait," The Priest started. The man half turned towards him. "Who is it that is putting this city in danger?"

"You remember what happened earlier this evening?"

"How.."

"That girl with the purple hair, blue cloak." The priest nodded in remembrance. "Her name is Raven. She is a half-demon. You must destroy her."


Muwahahaha! The story unfolds. A little...
