A/N:
Just making this clear- This is happening at the same time as the last chapter. So while this was going on, The titans were battling with X, as seen in chapter 16. Okay?
Chance
lay asleep in his small cot. It was about 5:30 in the morning.
Raven
was outside the tent. She had just finished lighting the fire and was
boiling water over it for a cup of tea.
Raven
gazed fondly at the stars.
She thought back to about a year ago
when Slade was destroying the city. Beast Boy woke up early one day
to look something up on the computer and he was shocked when Raven
was already awake and having tea. Raven somehow avoided telling Beast
Boy why she woke up so early.
The next week to Ravens annoyance, Beast Boy and Robin had a competition to see who could wake up earlier then Raven the most for the whole week.
Of
course they had given up but Wednesday, but it was still annoying.
Raven sipped her tea slowly. She missed the Titans. She
remembered Robins seriousness, Cyborgs booyas, Beast Boys annoying
jokes (altho Raven preferred not to have them) and cute smile, and
Starfires random group hugs. The only thing Raven really did not miss
was Terra, all the noise, and the disturbances while meditating.
"Rae?" Chances voice called, half asleep.
"It's
early, you shouldn't be awake yet." Raven whispered
back.
"Neither should you, why are you up?" Chance said
sitting down next to her grabbing a cup of tea for himself.
"I always wake up this early, but I had a bad feeling last night, like we were being watched." Raven said, dropping her voice down to be sure only Chance could hear her.
"Let's
move then." Chance said.
After about 30 minutes, they packed
up everything. Raven decided to teleport them. Chance argued for a
while, saying if they were being watched, it would waste a lot of
Ravens energy, and that was the only defense they had, but Raven won
the argument by saying if they were being watched, they could not
know where she teleported too.
They
came up in the middle of a forest near Jump City. It was a quiet
isolated area. From teleporting them, Raven was already tired. She
pitched the tent quickly, then apologized to Chance for not being
more help but she had to rest.
Chance understood. Raven gave him
a reminder not to make noise, because they did not teleport too far.
Chance set up the rest of the tent, and built a new fire.
About an hour later Chance heard footsteps in the distance. Immediately he woke up Raven. Raven readied herself.
"Raven,
your weak are you sure--"Chance said.
"I will be fine,
whoever it is, I can take them." Raven said, pushing Chance into
the safety of the tent.
"So sure Raven?" A voice said from behind a tree.
"Slade!" Raven said, half angry and half disgusted.
Chance
peeked out from behind the tent flap. He saw Slade step forward and
swing a kick at Raven. Raven tried to defend herself with her magic,
but was thrown back.
"Whats the matter Raven? Thought you
said you could take 'whoever it' was...pity, I thought it would be
more fun then this." Slade said, throwing Raven by her cloak.
Chance jumped out from the tent and went to hit Slade from behind, but Slade turned and grabbed Chances arm, twisted it, then threw him back in the tent,
"Let your girlfriend take care of herself boy." Slade said to Chance. Then turned back and threw another kick at Raven. Raven dodged just in time, but was it by the punch that followed.
Chance grabbed Raven communicator. "ROBIN!" He yelled franticly.
A/N
Just making it clear: Chance has the ability to fly, but not to use other magic like Raven does. In my head (Not the real way) Raven has cool powers because she is half demon. Sorry if I confused anyone!
