Fan Fiction ❯ The Real World: Teen Titans Style ❯ Chapter 14 ( Chapter 15 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

I am TERRIBLY SORRY for not updating for like a month. It's the last month of school, and what with finals and practicing for speeches and stuff, I've been VERY busy! Finally, school's over, so I'm trying to write the fanfic now. It's the 2nd to last chapter, a pretty crappy 2nd to last chapter… but the 2nd to last chapter nonetheless.
 
Ok guys, after reading a review, I just noticed what I wrote:
 
WHAT? I DO NOT LIKE RAVEN! WHY IS EVERYONE SAYING THAT? DO I LOOK LIKE I DO?” Robin screamed, the only thing he could think of. Beast Boy was pushing him into the position, he had to either confess or lie miserably.
 
LOL! Pushing him into the position…lol… I laughed for a full half hour. Lol!
 
Well anyways, here's the chap. Enjoy? (Icky) Once again, I say that this chapter stinks, and I seriously mean it this time lol.

Robin's voice echoed into the cave, pounding against the walls and into Raven's ears, shaking her with the reality that he was falling and she couldn't do anything but jump after. Anger pushed hotly at her veins, almost as if it wanted to burst from Raven's body and strangle the thing that was holding onto Robin. Surprisingly, the thing that was pulling him down was hard to see, only a dark figure that was almost impossible to catch a real look of. Raven growled fiercely and dove after Robin and the dark body, arms out, ready to snatch Robin back and tear the thing, limb from limb… if it had limbs.
 
She came into contact with the water, slamming into it face first, right after Robin's voice was cut off by a splash of water. Burr, that was the only thing she saw as she panicked so much that she could not reach the surface. The sand on the bottom of the lake swirled and spread in the water as she violently pushed against its stickiness to get to the top. Raven screamed into the water, but no sound came out, only silence bubbled floating and popping in the surface. “Robin!!” She screamed desperately as her foot finally was released from its deadly holder, the sand and dirt on the lake-floor.
 
Finally, she felt the cold air blow against her as she took a deep breath and opened her eyes. The water blinded her vision for a moment as it filled her eyes and then left, it stung terribly but she didn't care, the only thing she could think of was Robin. But where was he? She spun around, back and forth, turning to all sides, but still, no sign of him. Raven dove back into the muddy water in the attempt to find him, but he was lost. Quickly, she rose back to the top and swam onto the shore, crawling out onto dry land, coughing softly and choking, but not choking on water, choking from the sadness that overwhelmed her.
 
“Robin…” Raven whispered as she pushed her body farther in land and against the wall, heavy from a mixture of water and sand in and on her clothes and boots. “Where are you…?” She sat quietly on the sand, trying to bring herself to relax but she couldn't help from thinking of where he could be. Suddenly, a drip of water landed on her neck, at first, she thought it was just nothing but when it came again, she looked up to see Robin hanging above her, the figure, still holding onto him. Robin's face was dirty from mud and he wasn't moving but the figure didn't let Raven examine him further, it jumped off the side of T-cave and out of sight. “NO!!”
 
“Raven? What has happened?” Starfire peered out of the window, staring down at her friend as Raven got up quickly, abandoned her heavy boots and ran barefoot after Robin.
 
“Huh?” Raven stopped as the dark figure changed into a green tiger. “Beast Boy?” She knew it wasn't him, Beast Boy was powerless, as was everyone else but it looked as if it was him. With no time to think, she accepted it was Beast Boy and sprinted faster after the charging tiger.
 
Finally, it stopped and turned to her, growling softly and placing Robin gently on the ground. Robin's face remained motionless, but Raven's was frowning with anger as the tiger turned into a bear. “BEAST BOY! I don't know how you got your powers back, but you have no right to attack Robin!” The bear formed back to human form.
 
“I didn't attack him, I was just simply… taking him out of the picture.” A familiar voice came from his mouth, chuckling slightly. “Robin's always so nosey, I can't work with him around.”
 
“…You're not Beast Boy…” Raven's eyes closed in on the green human who resembled her comedic friend.
 
“You catch on rather quickly don't you?” He mocked, sarcasm overly present in his tone of voice.
 
“Slade…” She growled as she formed tight fists.
 
“Yes, I found out about your little friend's game and I decided to get in on it, surprisingly, your friend's eyesight isn't very good and I entered your new world rather easily.” Slade wiped sand off his new body indifferently.
 
“What little friend?” Raven questioned with anger still in her voice.
 
“That useless piece of meat that looks like Robin.” He rolled his eyes annoyingly and sighed.
 
“What?!… Larry…” Raven thought quietly to herself. “What does Larry have to do with this?”
 
“Do I have to explain everything? That Robin fanatic decided to use his magic to send you a few villains to fight, so that he could see some Robin action, but I easily took over the amateurs' bodies and sent you all to this island, where I could eliminate each and every one of you until YOU were left, alone and powerless. Your father is waiting eagerly, Raven.” Slade explained quickly and soon returned to his normal body.
 
“… My father…” Raven recalled her birthday, the prophecy… Slade was going into extremes to get her without too much of a fight.
 
“Yes, but it seemed that my robots were too easy for you, and you two turned my plan for annihilation into a … soap opera.” He spoke in monotone now. “Guess what? The show's cancelled.” Slade turned his body to Robin but keeping his face towards Raven. “Too bad you can't do anything…”
 
“Grr…” Raven growled as she ran to him, tackling him, but only enough to make him take a few steps backwards.
 
“Sad, I even gave you a few days to receive that training you were asking Robin for, then again, if Robin can't defeat me, how can you?” Slade said scornfully as he pushed her aside easily. She fell over, grazing her elbows and knees on the cold, wet sand. “You know, Raven, you may not have your powers…” Slade bent his head, looking down at her. “But I still have mine.” He finished as the palm beneath him lit like a flaming bonfire.
 
“…” Raven fell silent again, shocked to find a fireball in her enemy's hands, lighting up his familiar mask. Her eyes shifted to something behind Slade, which made him turn, only to find Robin's fist crashing into his hard mask. He grunted and fell backwards, almost falling on Raven. She rolled aside and kicked his boot, sending him onto his back. Slade's fireball dissolved into the wind as quickly as it had come. “Robin!” Taking her chance, she crawled over to Robin, who was awaiting her to fill the empty space between his arms.
 
“… You think it's over?” Slade picked himself up and advanced towards the two. Neither of them was ready but Robin managed to raise his arm to block anything that would come at him, but nothing did. They both flinched and gritted their teeth for the worst, but it never came. They heard another grunt, a shout and Slade's famous growling, which made them open their eyes to see Starfire and Beast Boy throwing small, but effective rocks at Slade,
 
Raven sighed in relief but quickly jumped back to her feet to join in on the fight, as did Robin. Soon, Cyborg was charging in, knocking Slade on his back again.
 
“HA! I still got it! They didn't make me quarterback of the team for nothing!” Cyborg gloated, flexing his muscles and kissing them. Too bad, he wasn't paying enough attention and was punched right in the face, hurling him against the T-Cave and falling to his stomach, losing consciousness.
 
Slade turned to Starfire and Beast Boy, fuming from having Cyborg ambush him and walked stiffly towards them, letting the small rocks hit his hard armor. He raised a hand and with a sweep, incinerated all the incoming rocks. Starfire's eyes grew larger as Slade was drawing closer to them, he raised him hand again and sent both of them flying into the T-Cave, harder than Cyborg had. Beast Boy screamed loudly until he was cut off by the hard crash into the wall while Starfire screamed just as loud. The two groaned painfully and finally fell quiet. Slade watched them hit the wall; fall to the ground and nodded. “There we go.”
 
Robin ran over the sand and jumped, ready to kick him in the face when Slade grabbed him by the leg and threw him aside. Robin didn't stop there, he quickly pushed off the ground and tried again several times, but only having Slade block or hit him aside. Finally, he jumped on Slade's back, bashing violently and fighting like a maniac but Slade plucked him off of his back by the cape and threw him into the lake. Raven cringed silently as Robin hit the water once again, and turned back at Slade. She pictured Robin's cut and bruised body struggling in the water and tightened her fists. She swung at him but he easily caught her fist and practically crushed her hand beneath the pressure of his own hand.
 
“Come along Raven, you know, no matter how much you fight and how many times I disappear, I'll always come back for you. So do us all a favor and fulfill your destiny, working under your father and me. (And yes, I'm almost positive that is grammatically correct.)”
 
“Do you think I would actually join forces with you?” Raven screamed as an outlet to relieve the pain that he was inflicting on her hand.
 
“Raven!” Robin was already ashore, weakened beyond all belief but too determined to back down.
 
Slade turned to Robin and laughed at his patheticness, releasing her fist. Then quickly turning back to Raven, he grabbed hold of her arm and squeezed tightly, bringing her closer to him. “Ok, I'll leave you two alone for a while, it would be so much more fun if you two were closer together, that way, tearing you two apart would be like cutting into your flesh.” Slade whispered into her face and dropped her before rising up, almost as if he was going to fly away into the sky.
 
Raven fell on her back again, frightened by what he had said as she watched his dark, silhouette against the bright sun.
 
“Raven…” Robin helped her onto her feet, although he was unstable himself.
 
“I hope to see you all VERY soon.” Slade's voice reached them although he was almost out of sight and suddenly, a long flash of light filled their vision. The flash was warm, more like burning hot, and it squeezed their lungs, as if it took away all of the air. Robin's already undermined body fell quickly and was soon unconscious like his friends before him. Raven sighed a simple, “Robin…” before hitting the floor herself, closing her eyes and feeling as if she was drifting into a deep slumber.
