Trouble
Galiana sat at the table across from her sister as they both ate lunch in silence. It was late into the day and they still had yet to see their parents. They just hoped what they did didn't cause Raven to kill Beast Boy and she was burying his body as they sat there. All they were doing was trying to help. Living in the Tower in the past had its upsides and they were enjoying their stay. That didn't mean that they were not worried about their actual parents because just the thought of them in a battle as large as the one occurring in the future made them worry enough to keep them up at night.
Cyborg was in the garage working on his baby like always so the girls avoided that. They weren't that into cars anyway. Robin had left the Tower with Starfire and they believed that, that wasn't their place to tag along.
"Hey Gali…how long do you think it will take?" Ravenna asked as she played with the tofu burger on her plate. Just like their father the twins were in fact, vegetarian. Ravenna wasn't at first but after she realized that she could turn into animals too she felt like she was eating herself when she ate meat.
"What?" Galiana asked urging for her sister to elaborate further. Ravenna released a long sigh and shook her head as she cut her food into little pieces, dropping her question entirely. Galiana quirked an eyebrow at her sister and crossed her arms over her chest. "Okay why don't you just tell me?"
"Well…" Ravenna trailed off bringing her gaze downwards into her lap. Galiana nodded telling her to continue. "This battle. If Uncle Nightwing has to call upon every Titan in the world…don't you think it may not be just a battle but a war? Even the Justice League is playing a hand in helping and why were we the only ones sent to the past? I understand why some Jr Titans got to stay but we were the only ones sent to the past for safety reasons."
"Mom and dad have their reasons and I don't think it's our place to question and the Titans wouldn't let it turn into a war." Galiana stated in a flat tone as her expression went blank and she returned to her lunch.
"Yea but…" Ravenna continued but Galiana put her hand up to cut her off. Ravenna blinked and looked into her sisters eyes. They were filled with confidence but a look of concern overpowered that confidence.
"But nothing! Things won't get that far." She snapped. Raven sat back in her chair and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Listen Galiana I know you like to think you know everything but there are some things you don't know about! I'm the one with most control over telekinetic powers so I know what they were thinking before they sent us off. Every single Titan was worried about what might come out of this! I know you don't want to believe this but we just might be here longer than we guessed and we may be here for a greater reason than safety precautions. It's okay to worry too so stop acting like an adult and act like the teenager you are!" Ravenna ranted. Galiana narrowed her eyes at her sister in a glare for a moment before sighing and slumping in her seat.
"I know…" She muttered lowering her head. Ravenna tilted her head as her sister began to wipe at her eyes to stop the tears that threatened to fall. "It doesn't matter how long we stay though, cause I love being here."
Ravenna smiled brightly and stood to her feet to give her sister a hug. Galiana returned the hug and the two of them smiled contently. The past may not be where they belonged but it was where they wanted to be.
"Aw, that's touching. So much love between siblings…" A voice cooed as a picture of the girls embrace appeared on a large screen. A small, yet vicious smile appeared out of the darkness of the shadows as the screen went black. "They are so clueless."
"Master? You called for me?" Warp said stepping into the light of the doorway to the dark room. The vicious smile grew.
"Why yes…I need you to make me a time traveling device. I need to have a little blast from the past." The voice said its tone was feminine and harsh. Warp bowed.
"Of course…" He trailed off not daring to lift his head.
"Have it done by tonight." She added in a sharp tone; it was obvious a threat was hidden under that demand if it wasn't met. Warp nodded and made his way out the room. The screen lit up once again to show the twins walking down the hall to heir room and the woman stood up and walked closer to the screen; her features came to light in front of the glow of the screen.
Her long blonde hair was pulled into a ponytail and her blue eyes were narrowed as she gazed intently at the screen. Her petit body was dressed in a black suit that was covered by yellow armor on her shoulders, chest, and wrist's and around her hips.
She tilted her head to the side letting some loose blonde hair fall over one eye as the screens image changed. It showed a teenaged Beast Boy sleeping soundly while Raven was sprawled out on top of him. She smirked and shook her head.
"Moved on rather quickly didn't you BB…" She muttered as her eyes glowed a yellow color and a large spike shaped rock hit the screen, shattering it to pieces and knocking it off the wall and to the ground. She glared down at it as it sparked and she stepped out the room but not before mentioning one last thing.
"The twins will be home sooner than they thought."
Raven cringed in her sleep as a chill ran through her body. Something was wrong but she didn't know where or what was the trouble. She groaned in her sleep and tried to ease herself back to sleep but her body didn't agree. The vibes she was receiving was pretty weak but it still had her mind at work. She slowly cracked her eyes open and sighed as she gazed blankly at her wall where a clock hung. It was well past noon. This was the first time she ever slept in this late; she was usually the first one up.
She sighed and propped herself up on her hands only to fall back into a laying position when something shifted under her. She blinked in surprise but then memories of the morning came back to her. She sighed as she laid there on Beast Boy's chest and after lying there for a few more moments she tried getting up again.
She rolled over to the side of her bed before getting up in a sitting position and raising her arms in a stretch. She stood to her feet and walked to her closet. She got dressed silently and pulled her hood over her head, shadowing her face over. She glanced at Beast Boy and thought she should wake him but after gazing at his peaceful state she thought against it. Instead she sat in the center of her room in her lotus position and closed her eyes.
"Azarath…Metrion…Zynthos…" She muttered as she began to levitate off the ground. She wanted to see what was getting into her mind and making her feel so uneasy. She got deep into her subconscious but the only thing she saw was the twins. "Azarath…Metrion…Zynthos…" She repeated trying to focus further. Why would the twins be making her feel uneasy.
Raven kept her focus even though Beast Boy was now sitting up straight in her bed right behind her. He rubbed his eyes and let them regain their focus as he stared blankly at Raven as she meditated. She repeated her mantra over and over and he just stared at her, taking her in. Whenever she would meditate he would study her mostly from afar but right now was his chance to actually get a better look.
When Raven was meditating was his only chance to stare at her and not get caught. To be honest the green skinned boy always had a fascination with her. Everything about her kept him thinking and he liked that despite his past issues with using his brain. He would do the same with the twins; he would just stare at them because they reminded him of Raven in their own way. Galiana had the looks and the brains and Ravenna had the powers and the attitude. Every now and then he would wonder…what could he have possibly done to deserve Raven?
The twins where a constant reminder that Raven was a part of his life now and in the future. He wasn't complaining at all either. If there was any girl he could see himself with it had to be her. He understood that he had liked her before but when the twins showed up he realized just how deeper than a simple crush, but he couldn't say anything; Raven wasn't willing for much right now and he wasn't sure how she felt about the matter. She was closed off, but Beast Boy was willing to do anything to change that.
"Azarath…Metrion…Zyn…" Raven trailed off. She felt eyes on her. She snapped her eyes open and pulled her hood back as she lowered back to the floor. She let out a small sigh before standing to her feet. Beast Boy fell back into her bed and pretended to be asleep. She turned around slowly and stared blankly at Beast Boy. "I'm not stupid, I know you're awake." She muttered. He sat up quickly and grinned at her.
"Good…afternoon." He said with a shrug as he glanced at her clock. She narrowed her eyes at him. He sat there awkwardly for a moment before getting up and heading for the door. "I think I'll just go."
"You do that." She muttered nodding in agreement to his statement. He grinned at her one last time before turning his back to her and walking up to the door. It slid open but he didn't go just yet.
"I hope you slept well." He stated smirking at her over his shoulder. She crossed her arms over her chest and continued to glare at him. He simply left and her door hissed shut.
She lowered her gaze as her cheeks were dusted by a shade of pink as she blushed.
"Yes, I did sleep well." She mumbled before the corners of her mouth curved up into the smallest smile anyone could make. Without another word she returned to her lotus position and began to chant once again. She still needed to figure out what was troubling her so much however now there was another trouble.
You're falling for him…
AH OMG! Now you all know who the ultimate evil is in this story! If you don't than get your brain checked. I liked this chapter so I hope you liked it too! Oh and that last thing was one of raven's emotions speaking…you can guess who that is but it's rather obvious…to me at least (I wrote it lol) Thanks for reading and please review!
