We now get to the next chapter, which will be based from the episode "The Prophecy". For those who have seen it, you know what will happen. For those who haven't, well here is your chance. What I add in will be different from the episode, but most of it will be the same. So hopefully you all will like it.
It wasn't easy finding this, but I'm glad I did. I also want to thank my friend Wolf2 for his help on the story. I appreciate it my friend and thanks to those who left reviews. I don't own anything of Teen Titans, just my OC. Let the new chapter, begin!
Return
Titan's Tower
It has been two weeks since Slade came back and since they have seen Anna. They wanted to go find her, but they had to take care of other things. The Titans have been more focused on finding Slade, finding out why he came for Raven, and keeping the city safe. For them the last two weeks has gone by crazy.
Still, for the Titans it's normal. Now that they finished taking care of that problem they can focus figuring out what Slade is up to.
"Freeze," said Robin as the video image of Slade stops. "Rewind."
"Dude, we've been looking at this thing all day," said Beastboy who is holding the remote. "I'm telling you, there's nothing else there."
Robin and Beastboy have been going over the surveillance from the security footage they got from the factory. Robin hopes they can find anything that can help them figure out anything about Slade that they didn't see during the fight. So far they have found nothing and Beastboy is getting tired.
"There has to be," Robin demanded, convinced there is something on the tapes. "Play it again."
Beastboy lets out a loud groan and does what Robin asked. "Slade Kicks Butt," take three hundred and four."
As he replays the tape Cyborg comes into the room.
"Anything?" Robin asked.
"I cross-matched that symbol with every database on the planet," Cyborg replied while reading from the paper he printed.
"And?" Robin asked.
"Nothing," Cyborg replied. "Whatever it is, it's not from Earth."
"New powers? Cryptic threats? Targeting Raven?" Robin walks up to the monitor. "Slade's playing a whole new game now. And this symbol is the key. We will find out what it means."
Raven's dream
Raven is standing over a cliff that overlooks the city. She looks down and sees the symbol from Slade's forehead around the city.
"Tick-tock, Raven. Time is running out," Raven looks over and sees Slade jumping but then disappears.
"I'm not afraid of you!" said Raven.
Slade suddenly appears behind her. "Silly girl, I'm not the one you should be afraid of. You know that."
Slade suddenly disappears as lightning appears along with fireballs from the sky.
"What you have concealed, you shall become!"
The balls of fire surround Raven who uses her powers to protect herself.
"It's a lie!" said Raven rubbing her right arm. "I won't let this happen. I'll find a way."
She then sees Slade walking through the fire. "Your optimism is really adorable, but you're forgetting one thing, Raven."
Images of the tower destroyed, her friends gone, and the people she protected turned to stone. All while Slade speaks to her. "This is what you were born to do. You were sent here to destroy the Earth."
Suddenly the ground begins to change and a pair of four red demonic eyes stares at her. With a demonic voice speaking to her. "The portal must be opened!
Raven's room
Raven's eyes snapped open and he begins breathing heavily. She looks around and sees she's back in her room. She lets out a sigh of relief. She uses her powers to levitate and looks through her books to find a way to stop the future from happening.
She was tempted to call Anna, but after not hearing from her in the last two weeks she feared the worst. She feared Slade got to her and killed her. If she is gone then she is on her own. She couldn't risk telling her friends, not until she is out of options.
"It's my destiny. There has to be a way to change it. I know there is!" she continues flipping through the pages hoping to find a clue. "I just need a little help finding it."
"Ask and you shall receive," Raven yelps as she blasts the intruder to the wall with her powers.
"Damn it! That hurt!"
Raven realized who it is and releases her. "Anna? What are you…how did you get in here?"
Anna gets up from the floor and puts her hat back on. "I came through the window after I shut off you security…again. You really should tell Cyborg to beef up security."
"He did after you were here," Raven drops that subject knowing it's not important. "Where were you? We haven't seen you in two weeks."
Anna goes up to Raven and hugs her. "Awwww did you miss be, beautiful?"
Raven phases through Anna and appears behind her. "Don't do that and I didn't miss you that way."
Anna fakes being hurt. "You're so mean. After all I've done for you. I saved your life and I took care of you."
Raven lets out a small sigh and apologizes. "I'm sorry, it's just I didn't expect to see you here."
"Apology accepted," said Anna and noticed all the books nearby. "Anyways, looks like you need some help."
"Yes," Raven replied getting a little upset. "You said you would be here if I needed help. Where were you?"
"First of all I said if you needed anything to call me," Anna explained as she looks over some of the books. "So, why didn't you call?"
Raven realized Anna was right. She did give leave her phone number with her, but she forgot all about it. With everything she has been going through it slipped her mind. How did that happen?
"W-well, why didn't you come over?" Raven asked trying to win this argument. "If I didn't call you, then why didn't you come see me?"
"Because I don't come over to someone's place uninvited," Anna replied as she sits on Raven's bed. "It would be very rude of me if I did that."
"And yet you've snuck into my room without my permission," normally Raven would throw people out of her room when they go in without permission. However, since Anna saved her she decides not to hurt the girl.
"You didn't seem to have a problem with it when I came in three days after I saved you," Anna replied getting a good reaction out of the girl. "By the way, that Beastboy guy snuck in here once and took one of those vials you keep on the bookshelf."
"He did WHAT!" Raven shouted in anger as her eyes glow red.
Common Room
Beastboy is rewinding the video again until he felt a cold chill run up his spine. Robin didn't notice, but Cyborg did when he saw the scared expression on his friend's face.
"Are you okay?"
Beastboy shook his head. "I don't know why, but for some reason I have to avoid Raven all day."
Raven's room
"I take it you don't like him being in your room?" Anna asked.
Raven nods her head. "Everyone knows it, well except you but your new here."
"Got it, anyways I wanted to say sorry Raven," said Anna, which confused Raven for a moment. "I should have checked in more and help you like I said I would. Clearly it looks like you do need help."
"It's okay," Raven replied, as she is okay with the girl not being around. "I figured you were busy and I guess I didn't call because I thought I could handle this alone. I thought I could handle this from the very beginning, but it's cleared that I can't stop this alone."
"And I take it you haven't gone to your friends yet then?" Anna asked getting a nod from Raven. "Why?"
Raven walks over and sits next to Anna. "I didn't want to put them at risked and I assumed you would help me. But, when I didn't call you and you didn't visit, I feared the worst. So I tried to handle this, alone."
"You assumed I was dead?" Anna asked as Raven nods her head. "Ah, well then sorry for that and here I am. So now I can help you stop Slade and save the world."
"Thanks," said Raven who feels less uneasy now that Anna is here.
Anna looks around the room and noticed it was a mess. "Soooo, you doing a little spring cleaning?"
Raven uses her powers to put her stuff away. "No, I was just trying to find something to help me."
"I take it you didn't find anything?" Anna asked as she lies down on the bed.
Raven nods her head as she does the same. "I have read every book I have here and none of them have what I need to help me."
Anna smiles and nods in agreement. "Yeah, the books I've read at the Vatican aren't much help either, but they are fun to read."
Raven turns towards Anna, surprised. "You like reading?"
"Yes ma'am," Anna replied. "I have love reading more than killing monsters. I've read every book in the Vatican and I know them by heart."
Raven smiles happily that she knows someone who likes reading as much as her. Robin is busy training and working out. Starfire goes out shopping and tries getting Raven to try out some dresses. Cyborg and Beastboy spend most of their time playing video games or arguing about the types of food they like.
"Do you like reading?" Anna asked turning her head towards the Goth girl..
Raven nods her head. "I love it. I spend most of my time reading. Of course, when you live here as a hero it's hard to get any reading done. It took me a month to finish just one book."
"Dang, sorry to hear that," said Anna who is glad to know someone outside the church who likes reading. "It seems you and I have something in common. I like that."
Raven lets out a small giggle and nods in agreement. "I guess so. What do you like to do besides reading?"
"Well," began Anna as she lists down the stuff she likes to do. "I like meditating, relaxing under a tree, drinking tea, and I love waffles…they are soooo good."
Raven stares at the girl surprise that what Anna likes, she likes. The waffle part surprised her the most.
"You love waffles too?"
Anna nods her head. "More than life itself."
Raven thought this was too good to be true. It's a shame Anna is a girl. If she wasn't, Raven would want to ask her out. Of course after what happened last time she probably wouldn't.
"So, Raven, what do you like to do?"
Meanwhile
Robin returns to the common room after deciding to take a break. He gave Beastboy a break too, until they can come up with some new leads. When he returns he sees Starfire working on something.
"Star, everything okay?"
Starfire shook her head. "No Robin, it is not. For I have discovered what the marking on Slade's forehead."
"You have?" Robin. "Great, what is it?"
Starfire shows her friends the marking on a white sheath. It matches the marking on Slade's forehead as the red headed alien explains what it is.
"Cyborg was correct. This symbol is not of the Earth and what I have discovered is most disturbing," Starfire explains as she points to the marking. "Please give your attention to this quadrant. In the folklore of the Zargac nomads markings such as these were used as a prelude to the Goulding."
Beastboy noticed something off. "Actually…"
"A savage ritual that requires all Zargac warriors to consume vast quantities of bortha worms and…" she is then interrupted by Beastboy.
"Its tofu calzone," Beastboy wipes the sauce off the marking. "My bad."
"Oh…never mind," said a disappointed Starfire.
"It's okay Starfire," said Robin as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "We'll figure this out."
Starfire smiles at her friend. "Thank you, I just want to help our friend. How is she?"
Robin wasn't sure how Raven is doing. Everytime he asks her that she would tell him she was okay, but he knew she wasn't. He could see it in her eyes and he wanted to find out. However, he couldn't do it by pushing the subject without upsetting her.
"I think she's okay," said Robin as he lies to his friends. "I think she'll feel much better though once we arrest Slade."
"But when?" Beastboy asked. "He hasn't shown up in the last two weeks. With those new powers I would have thought he would have come out of hiding by now."
Cyborg nods in agreement. "Maybe he's waiting."
"But for what?" asked Starfire.
"I don't know," Robin replied as he heads towards the door. "But I'm going to see if Raven found anything."
Raven's room
Raven finished telling Anna a little about herself. How she also likes meditating, relaxing under a tree, drinking tea, and they love waffles. Both girls also told each other their dislikes. How they don't like annoying people, find television and video games to be a waste of time, and they don't like those dumb romantic vampire stories.
"I'm glad we've met Raven," said Anna as both girls sit on the bed across from each other. "It's a shame we didn't get to meet sooner."
Raven nods in agreement and replies. "Yeah, talking to you is a lot of fun and I'm glad you don't find me creepy."
Anna smiles happily at the Goth girl. "I don't think you're creepy. When I met you I thought you were beautiful, now that I know you well I now know you are a beautiful angel that fell in my arms."
Raven's face brightens a little and she stutters a little. "W-why d-do y-you do that?"
"Do what?" Anna asked innocently. "Tell you how you look beautiful or you're a beautiful angel?"
"Both," Raven replied. "It feels weird getting a compliment like that from another girl. It makes it sound like your hitting on me."
Anna lets out a small giggle. "Maybe I am. So what?"
Raven's face brightens some more. She has gotten some compliments before, but always from guys. Most of them just to get in her pants, while the only one who she thought liked her turned out to be a fake.
"A-are you?" Anna nods her head giving Raven, her answer. "Well, I don't swing that way Anna. I have nothing against people who like the same gender as them, but I'm not like you."
"Spend more time with me and I can change that," said Anna as she gets off the bed. "Anyways, don't worry about that. What we need to worry about is Slade and where I can find that one eye bastard."
Raven gets off the bed and regains her composure. "We've tried looking for him. He's nowhere to be found."
Anna nods in agreement and takes out a tracker. "I used this to try to find Slade. It helps track ghosts, monsters, demons, and leprechauns."
Raven stares at the girl confused. "Why leprechauns?"
Anna explains the leprechaun thing. "They are both tricky bastards and one I fought killed some people. So, yeah if you meet a leprechaun, kill it. I mean kill it before it fucks you over."
"I'll make a note of that," said Raven as they get back on the subject at hand. "Anyways, why hasn't your tracker found Slade?"
Anna shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know. I asked my friend who made it and he thinks Slade is using a spell of some kind that is messing with the tracker."
Raven knew Slade couldn't have known about Anna or that she was here. So, she has to assume Slade has the spell to keep her from finding him.
"Which means we'll have to find another way to track him," said Anna.
"Agreed, first thing we should do is-…" they are interrupted when they hear Robin knocking on the door.
"Raven, it's me. Can we talk?"
Raven uses her magic to grab Anna and send her flying towards the closer. She then goes towards the door where she opens it.
"Yes, Robin?"
"Uh…any luck finding the symbol?" Robin asked.
Raven shook her head. "No, it's not in any of my books."
Robin noticed she seems nervous. "Are you okay, Raven? You look a little…well…paler."
"It's nothing. I just haven't been able to meditate lately. That's all."
Raven hasn't been able to sleep or meditate ever since the incident two weeks ago. Every time she tried she would have those dreams and it makes it hard to sleep. She tried meditating, but again she has those visions and it kept her from relaxing.
"Look, I know Slade scared you," said Robin as he tries to help his friend. "But, we'll find out why he was after you."
"Slade doesn't concern me," said Raven knowing there is someone else they should be concerned with. "Anyways, I'm going to try meditating a little longer. Do you mind?"
"Sure, if you need anything though…" the alarm begins going off as Robin takes out his communicator. He narrows his eyes when he sees who it is. "Slade, let's go!"
"I'll catch up," Raven replied
Robin nods and takes off to find the others. Raven closed the door and goes towards the closer where Anna is waiting with her arms crossed.
"That wasn't cool," said a ticked off Anna.
"Sorry, it's Slade," said Raven getting Anna's expression to change. "You ready?"
Anna takes out her gun and cocks it. "I was born ready."
Will Anna kick Slade's ass? Will Raven tell her friends the truth? Will Anna turn Raven so they can date? And will Raven kill Beastboy next time they are alone? Find out next time to see what happens next. Please leave some reviews and let me know what you thought of the chapter. If you didn't like it then don't leave a flame review. Take care, see you all next time, and have a nice day.
