Chapter Thirteen: Kidnapped
"WHERE ARE THEY!!!!???" Raven screamed again. The night's breeze began to flow through the now shattered window and was tossing her violet hair around. Her eyes were glowing a dangerous red and she gripped onto Beast Boy tighter making him wince but he understood why she was upset. He was too, but he wasn't expecting Raven to react in such a way. To be honest seeing her like this scared him. He had never seen her so upset.
"Beast Boy!" The green changeling looked over his shoulder to see Robin with Starfire hovering close by. Her hands glowing a threatening green thinking the tower was under attack by the shattering glass. Cyborg was at Robin's right side looking on with confusion and curiosity. "What's the matter?" Robin asked.
"And what happened to this room!?" Cyborg added throwing his hands into the air with exasperation. He had spent a good two days getting that room just perfect for the twins and now it looked like a hurricane blew through it.
"What is wrong with friend Raven?" Starfire asked with her tone glazed over with pure concern. She floated over to the pair and Raven's eyes returned to normal as tears continued to stream down her face. She didn't understand why she was feeling such an intense amount of hurt right now, all she knew is that she needed her daughters back safe. Her future self was counting on her and so were the twins.
"Where are Galiana and Ravenna?" Robin asked. Questions were being thrown all over the place but this one caused Beast Boy to clench his fists. They had no clue where the twins were. The only one who had any idea was Raven, but she needed to regain her composer before she could speak.
"Raven came to my room saying that she had a feeling the girls were in trouble and when we came to check on them, they weren't here." Beast Boy explained gesturing to the empty twin beds where Galiana and Ravenna once were.
"Are they not somewhere in the tower? Maybe they went for a snack of the midnight hour." Starfire suggested with a hopeful smile. Cyborg opened the computer on his arm and shook his head.
"Nope, my censors are saying the only people in this tower are us. If they were here they would show up." He said shutting the computer. Beast Boy lowered his head and brought his hands to his temples in frustration. He cared about those twins just as any father would, not only because they were his own flesh and blood but because he never felt more connected to Raven than he had since the twins arrived.
"They have to be somewhere. People don't just disappear. Cyborg lets implement a city wide search. Each one of use can take a different part of the city." Robin stated. Raven put up her hand to stop him.
"They're in the city but it's now where that we're supposed to be looking. It's when." Raven said as she took in a shaky breath. Robin's mask raised as he quirked an eyebrow at that comment.
"Are you telling me those two thirteen year olds are in Jump city but not in this time period?" Cyborg questioned crossing his arms over his large metal chest. Raven nodded.
"Well maybe future friend Raven and future friend Beast Boy came to return them to their proper time period." Starfire inserted trying to find a brighter solution to this situation. Raven shook her head as her eyes narrowed.
"They were kidnapped. Before I went to get Beast Boy I was trying to figure out why I was getting such bad feelings and when I finally figured it out a had a vision of whoever took the twins. It was the ultimate evil witch they were talking about." Raven hissed as she clenched her fists trying to keep control so that she didn't destroy anything else.
"Who was it Raven?" Robin asked. All eyes were focused on her, urging her to tell them what she saw. Beast Boy's eyes were the only one that was begging. She avoided his stare as she opened her mouth to speak.
"It was Terra…" Raven said spitting out the name like venom. Starfire gasped and clamped her hands over her mouth. Robin clenched his fists and shook his head. Cyborg muttered under his breath and Beast Boy…didn't looked shocked at all. He looked more angry than shocked.
"Friend Terra is alive?" Starfire questioned she was rather excited to know that Terra was alive oblivious to the fact that Raven just mentioned that the blonde was the one trying to take over the world in the future.
"She's not our friend Star, she's a traitor." Raven stated harshly. Starfire pursed her lips and nodded in understanding. "She's the one that's uniting all the villains and she's the one that's destroying the world in the future."
"The question is, how did she escape her rock prison." Cyborg inserted. Robin nodded in agreement. He, too, would like to know how she came back to life from being a rock statue.
"Does that matter right now!? We know how dangerous she is and if she has enough power to unite all the villains then she must be ten times worse than the time she teamed up with Slade! We are wasting time while she has Galiana and Ravenna! We need to do something." Beast Boy exclaimed. His eyes were burning with rage and for once he was anything but joking. Raven took his hand and gripped it tightly urging him to calm down.
"What can we do? We're in the year 2008; they are all the way in the year 2028! What do you expect us to do? We would need a time machine or magic BB." Cyborg said. Beast Boy looked at Raven and she nodded.
"I could try but it's going to be tricky." She said with a determined expression.
"Wait til my mom figures out that you kidnapped us! She'll totally kick your butt!" Ravenna yelled from inside a bubble shaped containment chamber. They were in two separate ones to avoid the risk of their combined power. Ravenna kicked and screamed while Galiana simply meditated in her bubble. "You are so dead! If you think my parents are bad, just let me out and you'll see how bad I can get!" Ravenna ranted pointing an accusing finger at Terra who was lounging on a throne-like chair not that far from the levitating bubbles.
"You're all bark and no bite. Just like you're good for nothing parents." Terra muttered rolling her eyes. This made Ravenna fume. She launched dark energy at her containment and it bounced right off nearly hitting her if she had not set up a shield.
"Ravenna you have to keep yourself calm. Meditate and I reassure you that everything will be alright." Galiana said to her sister. Ravenna narrowed her eyes but eventually complied and sat in her lotus position. Terra cackled at the sight.
"Is that what mommy taught you to do? Sit and chant like a freak? She raised a bunch of wimps." She mocked. Ravenna grit her teeth as she resisted the urge to try to break loose again. Galiana was right; she had to stay calm and meditate. That was the only way she could remain connected to her mother and Galiana could not call her mother using telepathy without Ravenna, but even if they did meditate at the same time, it wouldn't work if they weren't in contact with one another.
"Deep breaths Rae…clear your mind and block all the distractions out." Galiana ordered. Ravenna took a deep breath and tried to tune out Terra's mocking and conniving voice.
"Oh this is priceless." Terra muttered to herself. "You two really think that this is going to help? Your mommy and daddy aren't coming, no matter how hard you try."
"Azarath…Metrion…Zinthos…" That was all that the blonde got in response as the twins tuned her out completely and began to focus.
"Suit yourself." She growled as she stood to her feet and left the room. The lights went out as soon as the door to the room shut behind her and the locked clicked shut confirming there was no escape.
However in a matter of seconds the room was lit by the dim glow of royal red chakra.
I'll leave it at that for now. I hope you all liked this chapter because I had fun writing it when I should be doing my homework. Oh well better get to work and stop procrastinating. Thanks for reading and Pweez review.
