A/N
Thanks for all the reviews. If you guys have any ideas, let me know.
And… sorry I take so long to update… I have school and stuff.
It was a bright Sunday morning at the Tower. Titans
Tower was in a bit of a happier mood lately. Robin was playing video
games with Beast Boy and Cyborg, Starfire was cooking some strange
food over the stove, and Raven was reading a book. Crystal was the
only one hard at work. She had not gotten off the computer except to
sleep.
Raven was feeling a lot better now, but her powers were
not working at all. She could not rise an inch off the ground.
Mediation was pointless, and after a few days, she simply stopped
meditating.
"Friends, come and enjoy some of my home planets
Glorfli! It is a food that brings happiness to anyone who eats it!"
Starfire said pouring her food into bowls.
None of the Titans
looked up from there activities, except Crystal. She stood up and
walked over to the stove. Robin quickly hit pause on the game, and
all of the Titans looked up and watched. Cyborg let out an "Err..."
But Crystal sat down and took a spoon, and as if in slow motion to a
bite of the purple and green mush.
"This is good.....what
did you say it was called?" Crystal asked, to all of the titans
shock.
"Oh! It is from my home planet! I shall make some
more!" Starfire said happily, leaving the room. The moment the
door closed, Crystal spit out the food. "Eww. That was
gross.....where is she from?"
"Tameran, don't try
anymore food, I would stop her before she makes more." Cyborg
said warningly. Crystal nodded, still pale faced and left the room
after Starfire.
The boys had just went back to playing when the
Tower alarm went off.
Cyborg jumped on to the computer, Starfire
and Crystal came running back into the room. "What's
going-"Crystal started.
"Cynderblock broke out of Jail.
Again."(1) Cyborg said.
"Raven, Crystal stay here"
Robin yelled as both girls, who were running out the door with
everyone. Crystal angrily sat back down. Raven opened her mouth to
protest, but Robin cut her off, "You can help from here, Raven
watch the computer and let us know about any updates." Raven
nodded and returned the computer screen.
Crystal followed her
over. "Cynderblock is headed north from the jail." Raven
said into the comunicator. Robin did not respond, but she saw the
change in directions from the maps tracking device.
Raven and
Crystal sat in silence. "Umm...Raven, I am sorry about the first
day I got here and I fought you." Crystal said.
"It's
fine" Raven said, picking up her book again.
"Umm...should
you keep watching the screen, instead of reading?" Crystal said.
"I have fought Cynderblock for a long time. He is headed for
the bank; there is no need to watch him. Besides, the Titans are
right behind him, they can see him clearly." Raven said, not
trying to hide her dislike of Crystal's suggestion.
The two
girls sat in silence. From the screen they could see the Titans
caught up with Cynderblock. They watched in silence, as the titan
dots, circled around Cynderblocks red dot on the map. After a half
hour, the Titans were driving Cynderblock back to the jail.
"So.....you seem to read alot, whats your favorite book?"
Crystal said, praying that she could be able to make peace with
Raven.
"I don't have a favorite. " Raven said.
"Do
you have a favorite band?"
"No."
"Movie?"
"No."
"TV
Show?"
"No, I am reading a book in case you did not
notice, and I would prefer if you just let me read." Raven said,
clearly annoyed, and left the room. "If the Titans come back
tell them I am in my room." She said as the door closed behind
her.
Robin and Beast boy walked in shortly after, with Starfire
and Cyborg close behind.
"Wheres Raven?" Robin asked at
once.
"I was talking to her and she just got all mad and
went to her room." Crystal said.
"Don't worry about it,
" Beast boy said. "She is like that with everyone."
Cyborg nodded in agreement. Starfire did not make any response at
all, except whispering, "Perhaps are friend is upset."
Cyborg and Beast Boy seemed to ignore her, and turned back to
there video game.
A few hours later, Crystal sat at the computer in the otherwise empty living room. The door behind her slid open silently. "Crystal, right?" Beast Boy said, sitting down next to her.
"Oh, hey BB. What's up?" She said.
"We have this friend… she kinda died a while ago. Cyborg…er.. Victor said you were like, super smart… do you think you could-" Beast Boy started.
"I'm sorry, I can't bring someone back from the dead. No one can." Crystal said.
"Well… shes not exactly dead… she is just kinda trapped in a rock…..like frozen." Beast Boy answered.
Crystal thought for a moment. "I think, if I backset the equivalency I might reverce the chemical make-up of the petrified stone, I might be able to awaken her depending on the time intervel between her petrification and awakening"
Beast Boy opened his mouth to say something, then closed it. Finally, a minute later he said, "Uh… yeah. I have no idea what you just said."
Crystal laughed. "I said, I think, depending on how long ago she was put in the rock, I can get her out." Beast Boy's face split into a huge grin, "But… I would need Robin-"
"No Problem" Beast Boy said.
"…Vic-Cyborg…." Crystal Continued
"No Problem" Beast Boy repeted.
"And… Raven's powers." Crystal said slowly.
"No Problem." Beast Boy said again.
"Um… yes problem. Raven doesn't have her powers." Crystal said.
"Nope, no problem. I'll explain later. Lets call the others."
Ten Minutes Later, Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire and Crystal were seated around the table.
"Guys, I have the best news ever!" Beast Boy started, "Crystal said she can bring back Terra!!"
Crystal was the first to respond, "But I would need your help, Robin, and yours Cyborg. And, Ravens powers."
"How cool is this!?!" Beast Boy said practically jumping up and down.
"Its great BB, but … Rae doesn't have her powers back." Cyborg said.
Beast boys joy continued, "I know, and
I thought about it. Slade said that –"
"SLADE!" Robin
interruped. "You suggest that we hand her over to Slade!"
"Well…. Uh.. Slade said he knew what it was. . ." Beast Boy said, "And think about it, Ravens useless these days. Really, all she does is read. Shes no help to the team at all."
At this, Cyborg opened his mouth to defend his sister-like friend, but a hard shove from Robin stopped him. Robin just pointed toward the door. Beast Boy turned just in time to see the end of a blue cloak leave the door way; Raven heard what he had said.
"Hee hee… maybe she didn't hear anything." Beast Boy said.
"Go apologize. Now." Robin said strictly.
"No way. I can't take it back, I wouldn't want to. Maybe she'll go to Slade on her own. I don't want her here anyway." Beast Boy said, leaveing the room do go upstairs.
