Chapter 15
"What is This!?"

Robin:

Raven stepped away from the green boy. All eyes were on them. The jaws of our fellow teammates (with the exception of Starfire, who mimicked the adults reactions) nearly hitting the floor. The elders (a.k.a. adults) were staring, wide-eyed and trying to keep their composure. And failing miserably of course.

"Raven . . . what is the meaning of-!?" One of the elder men began shouting but a death glare from Raven silenced him completely. Some of the members (the teenage ones) gasped. Raven never got angry at the adults. We'd even been known to tease her, on occasion, about 'worshiping' them. She lived by the rules.

Intimidating an elder was a huge rule breaker.

Lifting her head pridefully (having to look down from her and the boy being on the platform area while everyone else was on the floor) and looked down at us from her eyes. "I came to give you the one who kidnapped me."

The boy inhaled sharply and looked very guilt ridden. So, Raven was giving us someone we already had? That made no-.

"Me," She finished, releasing him and holding her wrists out, as if to be handcuffed. Nobody made a move. I composed myself and jumped up in front of her. She didn't seem at all surprised, waiting patiently. Then suddenly the boy darted in front of me, arms out to his sides. Like he was protecting Raven. From me. I snorted at the thought and he growled at me. My brow rose.

"Raven didn't do anything," He said, "I did it. Blame me."

I turned to look at the elders, for advice. They all looked as confused as I was and then began huddling, to discuss like they normally did. But each had one eye on us, wondering how this would turn out.

Raven glared at him. "Let me explain." The boy and Raven had a stare down before he reluctantly backed off, stepping out of the way between myself and Raven. She seemed satisfied and continued. "Beast Boy offered to take me. He didn't force me to do anything. He actually even suggested I go home, but I refused. If you want someone to get mad at, it's me. I was the irresponsible one."

She once again held her wrists out to me, which I made no move to cuff whatsoever but then Beast Boy (thanks to Raven, I now knew his name) pushed them down. He ignored me and hissed, irritated at her. "Would you stop that?"

Raven said nothing. She remained calm. He sighed and turned to me. "Robin, is it?"

My eyes widened, "How do you-!?"

"It doesn't matter. Look, if I hadn't have offered-."

"It's not your fault!" She snapped at him, interrupting. Both glared at each other until I got tired of it.

"Hey, guys?" Both turned to look at me and then I smirked. "I'm not arresting either of you."

"What!?" Everyone in the room shouted in unison.

Then, one of the more prudent elders said, "Y-You don't have the authority!"

I turned and crossed my arms, laughing now. "What crime is there against someone who didn't do anything but stay out late?" People gave me skeptical looks. "Alright, two weeks late but still. That's not a crime. No one was kidnapped."

"I . . . actually have a confession to make. . ." Beast Boy said from behind me. I turned, looking at him. I can of had a feeling what he was going to say and Raven seemed to be on the same page as myself. She looked horrified.

"I . . ." I closed his eyes and Raven shook her head, silently begging him to stop. But he didn't. He breathed out. "I . . . am the one who kidnapped all those girls."

"No-," Raven breathed. That was topped by something else.

Shattered glass.

"NOOOO!!"

The cry was ferocious and shook the whole castle.

"Raven-!" Beast Boy began but when we both turned, she was already gone. I was confused, but Beast Boy looked satisfied. The shattering got closer and Starfire zipped up to me, her arms clinging around my neck. I saw Beast Boy eye us speculatively but he said nothing.

The thunderous walking got louder as the thing approached.


Raven:

My hand slammed down on the 'Emergency Release' button. I nearly broke it. For someone who does not rely on strength in battle that's actually pretty impressive. I was just that scared I guess.

Everyone was awake. All of them, they just dropped into the large room in front of me, where I could see them through the glass. They groaned at the sudden fall until the tower shook again and I threw the door open, off its hinges, with my powers. That time it was unintentional.

"Raven?" Cyborg jumped to his feet. Nobody had landed on each other. That would've been weird but an elder designed it so that wouldn't happen. "Raven, what's wrong?"

"It-!" I began, but once again some thunderous roar drown me out and made me fall to my knees. Absent mindedly, my hands that tried to protect my ears from the sound bumped against that head wound I'd woken up with and made me hiss in pain. Cyborg took my hand from me and looked at my head, Jinx pulling me to my feet. I heard him gasp and his aura went very cold. I shivered at it.

"What?" Kole demanded, brushing herself off.

". . . He marked her." Jinx said, after a long pause. All were breathless. They sounded winded.

"What?" I looked around confused. "Who marked me? Is that bad? What are you talking about-?"

Jinx grabbed me, "I'll explain later." She promised. "Right now, where is Beast Boy?"

I didn't answer. Instead I teleported us to where I'd last seen them. This whole transaction had taken us only about two minutes, most of it silent because of them not answering me.

The sight was a tad bit different.

People were in sections now. Rows for fighting whatever was coming this way. It was louder now, almost deafening. Jinx caught me as I nearly fainted. The wound in my head was killing me now.

Starfire and Speedy were in the row in front of us though, I noted. Beast Boy was next to Robin, both prepared to fight. The elders were gone, most of them too old to fight. Arella was nowhere to be seen. Another crash and I winced into Jinx's shoulder. Beast Boy whirled around and stared at Jinx, wide-eyed.

He looked relived. "You're okay." Then he saw me. His smile dropped and he looked up at her, blank with fear. I tasted it all around him. I felt Jinx nod as some signal between them was said. I was shaking from the pain now. Beast Boy fell to his knees. My mouth opened to call out to him but the air was knocked out of me.

"Beast Boy!" Kole said for me. She rushed to him when I could not but his eyes never left mine. He looked terrified. Of me or something about me but I couldn't understand the turmoil that was his emotions. "Beast Boy are you okay?"

Robin was looking over his shoulder when the door in the hallway (I saw the shadows of people) broke into splinters and my legs gave out from beneath me. Beast Boy then shared a look with Red X.

"Now?" Red X asked, stone-serious as always. But his emotions were anticipating. Someone screamed from down the hallway, and the roar grew louder.

"Yeah," Beast Boy grunted, glaring at the floor. His teeth began gritting and he shut his eyes tightly. He looked like he was in pain. I felt Red X pick me up, but I hardly looked at him.

"Beast . . . Boy," I breathed, trying to reach out to him. But I felt oddly tired. My hand wouldn't move.

The door to our section shattered and I looked up, stunned. Then my attention (I was seeing double now) went back to Beast Boy. He was twitching violently and his figure kept swinging around, making me dizzy, but I kept looking anyways. Then, to my amazement, his gloves ripped and his back arched, eyes looking up to meet mine. They turned completely serious, and then completely white. I inhaled sharply.

And then Beast Boy was the thing that kidnapped me forever ago. I turned away and buried my face into Red X's chest, and felt Jinx and Kole trying to comfort me when I felt their emotions going wild inside of them.


Jinx:

"What is that!?" Bumblebee shrieked, staring at the first beast in front of her. Beast Boy was crouching in front of us in the shadows, going unnoticed by everyone but Robin, who (to my amazement) only eyed him confused. Beast Boy's head was giving himself instructions on how to handle this. I could tell by how calculating his expression was, even in that milk-colored gaze. It made me shiver, even though his attention was on the thing on the other side of the room. The large shadow-covered head turned towards Red X and myself, giving us looks that we understood completely.

'Protect her . . . Please.'

We nodded. "Promise," Red X said and then Beast Boy nodded in turn and lunged over the crowd, bowling into the thing.

Adonis.


Beast Boy?:

Partial Objective: Kill Adonis or injure beyond chance of further attack from subject

Avoid: Harming anything besides Adonis. Includes inanimate objects and absolutely includes people.

Main Priority: Destroy to save Raven

Other Priority: Keep Adonis from hurting others

. . . .

. . . .

. . . .

Go.


Red X:

We had to move. Now.

"Get out of the way!" Cyborg shouted at everyone besides me. All the Titans dodged away from the creatures fighting furociously and ran to where we were.

"Ra-!" Starfire began, staring at the girl in my arms but Jinx covered her mouth. She glared at them all.

"Nobody say her name, understand?" They all nodded, unsure, but they were 'good guys'. They wouldn't break their promise. "Good. If you do, she'll be in danger. Now let's get out of here."

"But we have to help!" Someone objected. A boy. I glared at the masked, black haired boy.

I leaned in towards his face. He didn't back down. "You go near either of them when they're like this, you don't come back. And if you do, you don't come back in one piece. Got it?"

"Why are the bad guys calling the shots?" Some other girl, scowling at us distrustfully, demanded. She had black hair and dark skin. I didn't like her either now.

"The bad guys saved your friend and your butts by getting you out of there. Now come on." Cyborg snapped at her in turn and then began hurrying them towards the door.

I was taking Raven as well when someone said, very quietly, but I still heard it. It was a male voice and I heard it.

"Why can't we say Raven?"

I froze and turned back to where the beasts had suddenly grown quiet. Kole, to my surprise, gripped the thin, yellow skinned and yellow haired boy with a lightning bolt on his chest by the collar and gave a glare even Jinx would have cowered from. "Now do you know why!?" Her hand turned crystal and Mammoth was just barely able to stop her from decking him. But this was all seen through peripheral vision. Right now my main focus was keeping my promise to Beast Boy.

"Whats . . . happening?" Raven groaned out, her head rolling to look at me. I fumbled with my belt and then found the right button.

"We need to get you out of here," I answered. "You've been marked, Adonis will-."

"Adonis . . . hurt . . . Beast Boy." She moaned, tiredly.

I stopped, surprised. He'd told her the story? Hm. Interesting. Well, he did love her I guess. I pulled out my explosives, ready to trap the beast for a few seconds (even though these could hold a whale, if whales were on land) if we needed to. "Yeah. And he's going to hurt you too if-."

"I . . . have to . . . help." She interrupted, struggling weakly.

I looked down at her, glaring. "Beast Boy wants you safe."

"Beast Boy . . ." her eyes closed for a moment before her body glowed blue. I gasped. She opened her eyes, a white color now. "Is not the boss of me."

She leaped from my arms and I stared at where the bandage on her head should have been. Gone. All gone. It was like the mark never existed in her. That shouldn't be possible.

"RAVEN STOP!" Then Jinx smacked her hand over her mouth and the door slammed behind the three of us. Everyone but Jinx, myself, and Raven were safe. I shared a look with her and we swallowed before she locked it from the inside, knowing the ways this place worked. Shortly after their were bangs on the door, demanding us let them in. We ignored them.

Beast Boy was fighting furiously when Raven suddenly lifted her arms.

"STOP!" She shouted. She was ignored as Adonis slammed Beast Boy into a wall. Raven pulled back her arm, covered in her powers (and me and Jinx were to terrified of both the beasts and Raven to interfere) and threw it forward. Adonis was hurled into the wall, leaving a large dent and Beast Boy fell to his knees. He looked up at Raven and the two shared a moment of understanding. I felt uncomfortable for being there during that time and then I jumped into action.

Hurling my explosives at Adonis while I had the chance, he was soon covered in goo, courtesy of myself and my signature attack. But, having added a new feature, he was also electrocuted. That bought us a few more seconds before he tore through it like tissue paper. By that time Beast Boy was prepared and swung his foot around, knocking him into the wall on the other side of the room. Before Adonis could get up Jinx hexed some part of the decorative building pieces onto him.

"I always hated those things." She said, turning to me and smiling. Beast Boy looked tired. "Raven, we'll take care of Mr. Fuzzy over there. You help your love toy." Raven ignored us and ran over to him, touching his face.

"Well, nice knowing us." I said, stoically. Jinx smirked at me.

"Hopefully. Let's go!"

And we charged.


Raven:

He had to be okay. He had to be.

I pushed Beast Boy's large, hairy face up to look at me.

"Are you okay?" I asked, scared for him. I felt pain waves all over him and felt myself tearing up. He nodded and I hugged him, as close to me as possible. I gasped then.

'I'm the only one that can stop him.'

I pulled back, staring in shock. He looked back. "I shouldn't hear you. . ." I shook my head, staring still. "How can I hear you?"

Beast Boy whined and I stroked his face.

Jinx screamed. Both Beast Boy and I turned to see what was happening.

Jinx hit the floor, unconscious. Red X darted in front of her in an instant, picking her up. He looked at the two of us with his 'sister' in his arms, able to show emotions even through the mask. Hope. For us.

He wasn't able to buy us anymore time.

"Good luck," he said before evaporating into the air, barely missing the blow from Adonis. It was eerily quiet for a moment when Adonis, battered and bruised (I could feel his pain waves, but they were not nearly as bad as Beast Boy's), turned his huge figure towards me. Adonis somehow smiled through his wolverine-like form. I pressed farther into Beast Boy. Adonis pulled back his neck before screeching a roar at me, shaking the building (or at least the room) once more. My jaw dropped and my knees collapsed from under me, letting me fall to the floor.

Beast Boy was then in front of me, quicker then I was able to see how. My legs were out to the side of me, and I was still unable to do anything but stare at Adonis. Finally, he swallowed his shriek and released me from his gaze, looking above me at Beast Boy. He still seemed to be smirking at him.

"What does he want?" I whimpered, clinging to Beast Boy's front arm.

I waited and the two seemed to be having some type of animalistic conversation. Very primal from the emotions I was getting from them. Then, Adonis's emotions got very cold, making me shiver.

Beast Boy's fury shot up so high I felt like I was freezing and burning at the same time. I gasped at the sudden shock of it all and my arms gave out. Beast Boy looked down and saw me practically choking, his fury growing. That didn't help, but, growling at Adonis (I can't say roar, after hearing Adonis . . . nothing would ever be a roar anymore), he lunged across the room and their fighting began.

Beast Boy was, I realized after a moment, outmatched. Adonis was used to fighting Beast Boy, I reminded myself though as I stood shakily on my legs. I glared defiantly at the man attacking the my beloved. Adonis may be able to push Beast Boy around-.

"But you've never dealt with me," I hissed to myself before shutting my eyes.


Adonis:

He's still no match for me. Even when he's grown up, in both body and mind, he still isn't strong enough. Not even when his beloved Raven is on the line (for he is in danger of losing her forever) can he muster up the strength to fight.

'You're losing, boy!' I howled in his mind. He snapped at my neck then, taking advantage of my gloating spurt. He managed to tear a chunk of the fur off, which stung severely. I hissed and leaped away before barreling into him.

Or, at least . . . what . . . where am . . .?

I turned.

The girl was looking right at me and I gawked. Beside beauty, this girl . . . no . . . Her eyes . . . What's happening to her eyes? When did the lights shut off?

NO!


Beast Boy?:

Instructions: Change back . . .

NOW!


I hit the floor. In human form. But I wasn't down for long.

"RAVEN!" I shouted, screaming and petrified. I had no idea what she was doing.

Raven's eyes were white, and she had this mass of black energy that looked like it was going to eat both her and Adonis in one gulp. Like it wanted to! "Raven!"

I was running towards her. Adonis had walked towards her in a daze. My clothes were torn, like normal. All of my back and shoulders mostly, but the bottom of my pants were gone from the knee down. They were a mess but all that mattered was that Raven could be in danger.

The wave of energy reared up all the way to the roof. It was literally shaped like a wave. Before I could reach Raven though, it all seemed to collapse onto both of them. I fell to my knees, staring at the ball of light swirling around. Vaguely through the screen I saw Raven's white eyes still looking at something. But that was it. I winced though, as, in my mind, something let out an agonized and pitiful cry.

Then my body could no longer contain it and I fell to the floor, completely awake, hyperventilating, and trapped in my body, unable to move.


Cyborg:

Jinx came out, injured badly and the Teen Titans, now realizing just how bad it could have been if we 'suspects' hadn't save their butts, Starfire ordered them to take her, Red X, and Kole to the med room. Red X said he'd treat himself. Nobody was touching his mask or letting them see any part of him.

They could all do nothing but listen in fear to the cries of pain and anger. Soon after Jinx and Red X appeared the whole damn building shook again, accompanied soon after with a much smaller growl we just knew was Beast Boy's.

And even after that one more horrible and agonizing scream. It was by far the worst thing known to man kind. This was not human scream nor was it even beast.

This was . . . demonic*.

The whole doors blew off then, a white light penetrating every corner of the room. We were all blinded moments after, so no one really knows what was the cause of it. When we were at least able to see nothing but purple spots in our eyes, Beast Boy was holding a weak and half awake Raven in his arms. His clothes were ruined, he looked like hell, as did Raven but that wasn't what was surprising.

Adonis, not even a body, was nowhere to be seen. He was just . . . gone.

One of the Titans took a step forward, looking like they were going to check on Raven, but I held my arm out. The boy looked up at me, confused and I realized he was the one that took over peoples bodies. Jericho I think.

"You go near him when he's not sure how 'a-okay' Raven is, and you'll regret it," I warned, trying to be nice about it, but in all seriousness. I liked this kid immediately. He smiled and nodded, unlike his comrades, who would have complied reluctantly after giving me a suspicious look. I smiled at him as well before Beast Boy walked right up to Robin, who was stone-serious. I wondered if he ever smiled.

"Is he . . .?" Robin asked, his brow rising. Or, well, mask.

"Gone," Beast Boy replied simply. "You're welcome to look, but you won't find him."

Robin looked at Raven, suspicious of her now. She lifted her chin, or tried to, but became feint in Beast Boy's arms and lowered it back down. It looked like an awkward nod, but Robin seemed to understand the proud gesture.

"Alright," He said. He then looked at Beast Boy. "You . . ." We waited for the death sentence. All of the Family. ". . . saved us."

We all gasped, staring.

Beast Boy shrugged, modestly but still looking more at Raven then Robin. "I guess."

Robin bit his lip, deciding on something. He then seemed more confident. "As leader of the Titans, your alleged crimes of kidnapping-." more suspense-. "Have been dropped. That thing in their was the kidnapper, not you. You were never even involved in this. That thing kidnapped Raven, you were saving her when we found you and wrongly accused you. We offer your team to membership into our Titan group. Do you accept?"


Beast Boy:

It took me a minute to realize he had just made up a story and no one in the team had objected. My brows rose. "You're . . . letting me off the hook? After everything I-?"

Robin raised his hand. "You never did anything."

I shook my head in disbelief. Raven laughed, weakly. I looked down at her. She smiled at me. "Well . . . say something."

Straitening, I nodded. "I accept your offer. But," I jerked my head towards my team. "You'll have to ask my family. I don't speak for them."

Robin turned towards them, humbly. "Well?"

They all looked at each other, smirking.

"Well . . ." Argent began. "It is a lot better then being on the run and in hidin', mate."

"And we really would miss the little man over here-," Aqualad said.

"And Raven too, of course." See-More added. "She has kind of grown on us." Raven and I smiled, her head snuggling just a little into my chest as she continued to look at the moment we'd remember for a while.

"So . . ." Cyborg smiled. "Sure. We accept." He held out his hand, "I'm Cyborg."

"Argent, mate."

"Aqualad, nice to meet you."

"Gizmo."

"Mammoth."

"Sup? I'm See-More."

"Red X is, well, the one with the X on his chest. Hard to miss, dears." Argent said, "And the perky lit-le ball of joy is Kole. You know your teammate already though, mate. Don't need an introduction there."

"Well, I'm Robin-."

"Speedy."

And I tuned out then, Raven and myself sharing a small knowing smile.

"Our family got a little bigger then, huh?" I asked, quietly.

She nodded and then looked at the floor. "Yeah . . ."

I kissed her forehead, the both of us ignored as people were still introducing themselves. "You did the right thing. He needed to be destroyed."

"What did he want, anyways?" She asked me, confused. "I remember that longing he felt . . ." She shivered, trying to dispel the memory I guessed. "It wasn't pleasant. Kind of creepy."

Reluctantly, I told her. She deserved to know. I leaned in and whispered, trying to keep my voice low so that no one would hear what we were talking about.

"He wanted a mate."

She fainted.

Holy shiz, you're good! O.o Well props to you person, props to you. *applause*
Yeah it sucks that their home is messed up but its not destroyed. Just needs a roof job.

Mischievia SamanthaFenton
This is awesome, and I can't wait to see what they're thinking (The Titans I mean, because if Raven's teleporting into the room with a prisoner and holding hands with them, a few thoughts HAVE to be running through their minds.)

I want somebody to do something really really stupid, for some strange reason, almost every day. It makes things funnier, I guess, I dunno. I started reading this today and wanted to get to the "end" before reviewing. I loved how Kid Flash fainted. And Beast Boy and Raven's loverlyness. I just plain ol' love this story! YOU ROCK, DUDE!

OMG, you said "loverlyness" like my sister's friend Brittany! Sorry, random, but she always says "loverly" and things with added prefixes and suffixes. And yeah. Its always fun to make someone do something stupid. THANKS, DUDE! XD

LATER!
