Teen Titans Fan Fiction ❯ Realm Quest ❯ Chp. 1 Troubles with Interfering Uncles. ( Chapter 1 )

REALM QUEST

A/n: Okay everyone, during one of my deprivation of sleep sessions I dreamt this whole thing up. Beginning, middle, and end, and so I said `what hell', besides I read another fic sort of like this, and it had some good reviews. So when morning came, I drank a lot of coffee, and began typing.

A/n continuation: I know that Raven has Father Issues, and that he wants her to be evil and she doesn't want to, making them hate each other. But I see everything in the Ying Yang proportion, so even though they dislike each other with the most utter hatred, there is still a little love for the other deep, deep, deep down inside. And I would believe Trigon more than Raven.

P.S: there might be, wait skip that...there will be slight OOCNESS. But I'm hoping not too much.

Summary: It started off as a normal Halloween. The titans had even dressed up and had gone to a Halloween party, even Raven. But on the way home Raven's uncle on her father's side, decided to mix things up a little. Now the titans are stuck in another realm, and have became what they had dressed up as. And the only way to get back is to find 5 crystals, Raven's uncle cast off around the land.

Main pairings:Robin/Raven/OC

Chp. 1 Troubles with Interfering Uncles.

"Come on Raven, stop fighting. You lost the bet so you have to go." Robin said to their dark brooding teammate, as she was carried forcefully to the Halloween party by Cyborg.

`Why did I even say anything?' she thought moodily to herself as she remembered the day that lead up to this.

Flashback

"MEAT AND POTATOES!"

"TOFU BURGERS!"

"MEAT!"

"TOFU!"

It was a normal average night in the Titan Tower. Cyborg and Beastboy fought over what to have for dinner, while Starfire, Robin, and Raven starved to death at the table.

"Come on we're starving here! Why don't you two just compromise on it, before I eat the table!" Robin yelled as Starfire's stomach gave off a scary growl just before she passed out.

"Please. When those two come to compromise, it'll be the day I go to a costume party in something besides my uniform." Raven groaned in her drone voice as she slunk to the floor in hunger.

"That was oddly specific." Beastboy told her before he and Cyborg continued their argument.

"Wait guys, don't you realize what has opened before your eyes. Don't you see that if you two get some type of agreement, you get to get Raven to the Halloween party in costume?"

"Hmm, so you're saying that if we agree on the meal, Raven has to dress up and attend the whole night..." Cyborg said thoughtfully.

"Including trick-o-treating?" Beastboy put in.

"Yes." Robin said exasperated. "Do you agree to the terms Raven?" he asked as an afterthought.

"Yes, whatever. Just give me food." Raven's voice replied from under the table.

End Flashback

And they had done it. They had had hotdogs. Some were veggie-dogs, and some were beef dogs.

`Damn you boy wonder. This is all your fault.' She thought angrily as she glared down at him in his elf costume.

Feeling her eyes on him, robin looked up to see raven giving him a horrendous glare that sent shivers down his spine. But he had to admit; she did look and act just the part for her witch's costume. She had the black pointed hat on, with the black witch's gown with the triangular shaped ends. Beastboy carried her broom for fear of her using it as a weapon.

Speaking of the Beastboy, he was wearing a werewolf's mask, rubber hands and feet, and a long fluffy tail.

Starfire wore a short green dress that looked as if it was made of leaves. She was a fairy, and with the plastic wings clipped to her back as she floated over the ground, she really did look like a fairy.

Another shiver ran down his spine as raven continued to glare at him, he was just glad that Cyborg had her, or...he didn't even want to think about it. Cyborg, the one taken all the risks, was dressed as Hercules. Robin couldn't have thought of a better costume to fit him to the T, like Hercules.

"I'm sorry Raven I was hungry. We all were. They needed motivation." He yelled in his head as she bore a whole into him.

All his fellow titans stopped in their tracks. Turning to look back at them with a sheepish look, he raised his eyebrows at them. "I...uhh...didn't say that out loud did I?" he asked.

"Yeah you did, but that's not the reason why we stopped." Cyborg told him, still keeping a firm grip around Raven's waist, who just looked bored now.

"So, why did you stop?" Robin asked a little blush appearing on his face.

"Because dude, we are like, so at the party." Beastboy yelled happily, pushing a group of bushes apart showing a wild, outdoors Halloween party in the park.

"Oh, yeah I knew that." Robin replied trying to play it off.

"Yes friends. Let us join in the festivity of the Hollo-weinering." Starfire yelled joyfully grabbing Robin's arm as she flew into the clearing, soon followed by Beastboy then Cyborg and Raven.

"Can you put me down now?" Raven asked in her moody dull voice.

"Oh yeah. I'll put you down, as soon as you're in the partying spirit and begin to start having fun."

"Oh joy."

----------------------

3:52 a.m. that night.

"Ohhhhhhhh. My heeeaaaaad!" Robin moaned as they trudged their way back to where they had parked.

"Dude, who spiked the punch...12x's?" Beastboy groaned, using Raven's broom as a walking stick.

"Raven." Cyborg said simply carrying the two girls, Starfire sprawled over his left shoulder unconscious, and Raven tucked under the other. She wasn't sleep, but she wasn't awake either.

"Raven? You're kidding, right?" Robin asked in disbelief as they all looked towards the semi-awake Raven.

"She spiked the punch 12xs?" Beastboy asked loudly, putting emphasis on the word she.

"Well...yes and no. She spiked it the last seven times, but the first five were already there when she drunk it."

"UGH...PUT ME DOWN!" Raven suddenly screamed, scaring the boys, and waking Starfire.

As soon as she was let down, Raven took off running and disappeared behind the bushes. The sound of someone throwing up could be heard, making the remaining titans grimace.

Emerging from behind the bushes, Raven wiped her mouth, before looking back to her friends, a smile gracing her features.

"I feel...bet...ter." her smile fading, Raven looked disbelievingly over their heads into the trees above. "Run." She whispered not looking at them.

"What?" "What's wrong Rae?" "Why?" "What is the matter friend Raven?" were the confused reply of her friends.

"RUN!" she yelled before taking off herself, knowing her friends would follow.

The rest of the titans ran, or flew after her (although drunkenly). A rustling in the trees behind them made them all, except Raven, turn around to see a large black silhouette with glowing white eyes swooping down after them, feeling them with fear and adrenaline, making them run faster than Raven, who they passed up, but not before grabbing her to drag along with them.

But the figure soon landed in front of them, its features still hidden in blackness. Except its white sinister looking eyes, that stared gleefully at them.

"HIT HIM WITH ALL YOU GOT!" raven yelled as her eyes too also glowed black as she cast her powers at the figure, followed by her teammates and their powers.

But the figure didn't seem like it felt any of the attacks, it just started making different symbols with its arms with its eyes closed.

"OH NO! HURRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!" she yelled again increasing her power in her attacks.

Turning into a green rhino, Beastboy began to charge at the figure. But just before Beastboy attacked, the figure's eyes opened and it was sucked into a black vortex that appeared behind it.

The rhino's eyes widened in fear as it too were beginning to get sucked into the vortex. Changing into an elephant Beastboy stuck reached its trunk out for it to be grabbed by Cyborg and the others. Although they pulled and pulled with all their might, the vortex was just too strong and soon they were all thrown into darkness.

(I thought about jus ending it here but hey, since I'm such a nice person, I'm going to atleastget a few more pages for this chapter.)

=======================

The titans opened their eyes to vast sunshine. The exact opposite to what they been in only a few minutes ago.

"Ohhh! My Back! What am I laying on?" Robin groaned from his spot on the ground as they started to get up.

"That'll be me." Came a muffled voice from under him.

Flipping over, Robin saw that he had been lying on top of a very disgruntled Raven.

"Oh I'm so, so sorry Raven." He apologized as he jumped off her, and handed her a hand. "Here let me help you up.," he said as he hastily pulled her up.

"Are you okay?" he asked as the two stared at each other. `I've never really noticed before...but Raven's kinda cute. What with that short neat mauve hair and those big violet eyes of hers staring down on me. Why is she staring at me?' he thought as he felt himself blush. `She must think I'm a dork.'

"I'm fine, but are you okay?"

"W-why do you ask?" he asked, his voice squeaking at first.

"Well, for one thing your hands are sweaty," at hearing this, Robin dropped her hands, which had still been holding, and quickly stepped away from her. "And you look flustered."

"HEY! What is up with your clothes?" Beastboy laughed at them all, being the only one in normal clothes.

The titans looked confusedly at them at first, but after looking down at themselves, the answer came easily.

Beastboy was wearing a beige medieval tunic, with a brown rope for a belt, and brown pants, and brown leather shoes.

Starfire ears had become long and pointed, and she was wearing the same thing, only now it was made of real leaves and was strapless. She had on no shoes, and her fake plastic wings were now bigger, pink, and real.

Cyborg had skin, was wearing sandals, and wearing a toga.

Raven wore a black bouffant dress, with long butterfly umbrellas. The dress was pushing up under her chest (think pushup bra), had a high, stiff, low cut collar. The dress was so long it swept the ground when she moved. A pair of (really) high-heeled boots could be seen when she lifted the front end up. And on her head was a witch's hat.

Robin's ears were also pointed and he still had his mask. He wore a green tunic over a pair of white long john's, with a leather belt, and boots.

"Guys? I don't think we're in Jump city anymore." Robin stated as he looked around at their surroundings.

They were in a field in the middle of now where. Trees could be seen a little ways off, and mountains could be seen even further away. There was no sign of civilization anywhere.

"Of course you're not." A masculine voice answered as a shadow flew over them, just to land behind them.

It was the figure that had tossed them into the vortex. The figure seemed to stand up straighter, as the black seemed to melt away, revealing a tall, burly man with short cropped, white hair, pointed ears, and black eyes.

"Hello kin." The man said smiling at Raven.

"Don't you hello kin me, Uncle Cyrus." Raven said angrily, grabbing the front of her dress and lifting it up as she marched angrily towards her uncle. "What did you do? You send us back right now!" she yelled at him in a scolding voice as if talking to a naughty child.

"Hold on there now, princess. What makes you think I would want to do that? You know how I work; it's not ever that simple."

"Send us back, NOW!" she yelled stomping her foot, in a whiny way.

Grabbing her shoulders, he looked her straight in the eye and spoke in a calm serious voice. "You know I'm not going to do it, just because you told me to right?"

She shook her head saying yeah as she gave him a sad puppy dog stare, that wasn't working.

"And you know what to do right?"

She again shook her head yeah.

"But remember you have friends with you now, and it will take longer than it did when I flung you into another realm when you were seven. Okay? Now are there any questions?"

Again, she shook her head yeah.

"What is it?"

"Please send us back." She begged as one last feeble attempt.

At hearing this, Cyrus's face seemed to fall as he looked at her with half-lidded eyes, and then without warning (or apparent reason) he head butted her. Sending a now dazed and dizzy Raven stumbling back into her friends, being held up straight by Cyborg.

"NOW KIDDIE'S," he announced clapping his hands together as he beamed at all of them, "MY NAME IS CYRUS, AND I'M RAVEN'S UNCLE ON HER FATHER'S SIDE, AND I HAVE SENT YOU TO THE ENCHANTED THE ENCHANTED REALM..."

"Why?" Robin asked simply interrupting Cyrus.

"Why what?"

"Why...did you send us here?"

"...why does the rooster crow? Why is the sky blue? Why does Dennis Rodman act the way he do...does? Why do you humans ask questions that cannot be answered just to drive people crazy? Why? Why...just because."

Now they all just stared at him like he was crazy, except Raven who was still in a daze.

"Now where was I...ahh? Ahem. I HAVE TURNED YOU ALL INTO THE CREATURES OU MOCKED ON HALLOWEEN! YOU...LITTLE FUZZY GREEN ELF. YOU ARE A WEREWOLF. YOU...ROBOTIC CHILD. YOU ARE THE GREEK GOD HERCULES. YOU...CREEPY, OVERLY CHEERFUL, BIG-EYED ALIEN. YOU ARE A FAIRY. YOU...SMALL SPIKED HEAD CHILD. YOU ARE AN ELF. AND YOU...RELATIVE OF MINE, WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO COME VISIT A BELOVED UNCLE. YOU ARE A WITCH. NOW TO ESCAPE THE ENCHANTED REALM YOU MUST FIND THE...one, two three, four, five. FIVE! CRYTAL NECKLACES I HAVE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE LAND. Raven is familiar with them. WHEN YOU HAVE ALL FIVE, YOU WILL BE TELEPORTED BACK TO THE HUMAN REALM. NOW...I'm off back home. Slinging people into different realms is tiring work. Bye peaches...don't be a stranger, and try to have some fun for once in your miserable morbid life. Oh yeah, Trigon says HI!" and with all that said he disappeared into a newly arrived vortex, with a twisted cynical laugh.

"O-kay. Looks like due to some loose screws, he does seem to have lost his marbles." Beastboy joked darkly, as the vortex disappeared.

"Uhh...Rae? What is up with that guy?" Robin asked the dark witch, as she stood up straighter and scowled at the place her uncle had been.

"He's a little crazy, and loves to toss people into different realms and universes." She said simply sighing as she looked around.

"Well we sort of got that part. But what about the necklaces?" Cyborg asked.

"Exactly what he said. In order to get back we have to find the necklaces, one for each of us. And since I've been a victim of his realm flinging many times. I can sort of sense them."

"Hey guys...where's star?" Beastboy asked looking around for the Tameranian girl.

"Starfire!" Robin yelled.

"Hello friends!" Starfire said in delight as she flew from over the trees, fairy dust falling from her wings. "This is wonderful!" she said flying over them, sprinkling them with fairy dust, but not enough to cause in damage.

"How can you be having fun flying, when you could already?" Cyborg asked watching her fly over them.

"But this way is much more...pleasurable."

"If we've become what we pretended to be for Halloween, then I'm only strong on full moons. Man, that sucks." Beastboy whined to himself plopping down on the ground.

"Yep, sucks to be you." Cyborg said looking at himself. "So, I have incredible Greek god powers, and skin. ROCKING! Although I so not digging this toga. Hey Rae...you a witch now, can you conjure me up some normal clothes?"

"I can try." She told him truthfully, aim she aimed her hand at him in the shape of a gun, and then she pretended to fire it. A sparkly black light escaped her finger and went for the now scared Cyborg, engulfing him. When the light left, Cyborg stood there unharmed, only now in a blue tunic, with white pants.

"Why so quiet boy wonder?" Raven asked playfully as Cyborg went around testing his new strength and Beastboy sulked on the ground. Starfire still flew around.

"Well for two reasons." He said looking at her thoughtfully. "One, your uncles a nut, and two, I'm not really sure all that elves can do?"

"Hmmm let me see if I can remember something about elves. Well, they are great archers, they are intoned with nature, they don't tire easily, they're very fast and agile, and the males aren't bad to look at him." She said casting him a smile and a wink, making him blush.

"Uhh...so w-what do we do now?" robin asked Raven trying to rid himself of his blush.

"Well...the first thing I always do is find shelter to get a plan going."

"How are we to do that?"

Turning to him, she put her hands on each of his shoulders and looked him in the eye. Much the same way her uncle had just done her. "We. Find. Some."

Robin vaguely heard her as he watched her lips moving. `Kissable soft lips.' He thought not exactly realizing where his thoughts had ventured to.

"Robin? Robin?" Raven's voice echoed through his head, bringing him back to reality, he hadn't even noticed that Raven had released his shoulders, and his friends all stood in front of him, or hovered in Starfire case.

"Huh?" he asked knowing he sounded dumb.

"Didn't you hear me? I said we're about to go find shelter. You are to go with Starfire and Beastboy is, and me and Cyborg are gonna search around..."

"Why?" he asked angrily with the fact that Raven was to go alone in the woods with Cyborg.

"To...cover...more...ground," she said slowly as if trying to explain something to a child.

"Oh. Oh okay then, I guess that's okay." He muttered embarrassed by his outburst.

"Oh thank you Robin. Because we were afraid you wouldn't be approving." Raven said sarcastically.

"Don't worry Robin. Raven and I can take care of each other." Cyborg joked, putting an arm around Raven's petite shoulders, pulling her to him and knocking her pointed hat askew.

"whatever." He muttered darkly under his breath, as he turned his back on them and headed for the woods, Starfire and Beastboy following confusedly behind.

"What's eating him?" Raven wondered allowed to Cyborg.

"It's his tights. They're too tight, bunching up in all the wrong places. that would make me grouchy." He answered her, making a surprised laugh to escape her lips. Causing a certain boy wonder to flinch in jealousy.

"What's this? Did I get a laugh out of the emotionless ice queen?"

Smirking, Raven grabbed his arm and began walking in the opposite direction of which their friends had taken.

=======================

As the sun began to set, Starfire found Raven and Cyborg by a River. She had come to fetch them, because she and the boys had found a cave to sleep in.

The cave was located in a clearing in the middle of the forest. Inside the cave, grass grew on the ground instead of dirt floor. The two boys had been busy making it suitable. They had drug in some logs and small boulders to sit on, and had pulled up the grass in one section, and set up some rocks in the middle of it for a fire.

Deciding this would be were they were to sleep for the night, and maybe even longer, Raven tried to conjure up some cots, but only got as far as some sleeping bags and a pillows.

Setting up there sleeping areas they all gathered around the fire to plan for there journey ahead of them.
