Hey! I'm Rice and this is my first published fanfiction! I need advice so feel free to send some my way. Also, I try my best but every now and then you'll find the characters might seem sort of OOC. And I'm hoping to make the chapters longer from now on, so bear with me! I'll probably change the title since it's sort of dumb. Enjoy!
JUMP CITY
"Star! On your left!" Robin shouted as he himself jumped to avoid the large, mutated plant's tendrils.
The alien girl let out a sharp "eep!" and shot a starbeam at the creature, making it narrowly miss her. She flung more and more beams at the overgrown weed. Every hit weakened the plant greatly.
With a combined effort, the team of super powered teenagers were finally making progress and were becoming much closer to defeating the monster. With Beast Boy and Cyborg working on the roots and Raven, Starfire and Robin holding off the vines, they were clearly a very effective team.
Then, in a moment of triumph, the stem had weakened to the point where it couldn't hold the weight anymore. It began to tip.
"Yeah!" Cyborg yelled, still aiming and shooting his arm-cannon at the base of the plant. "Almost there!"
Finally, it began to tear. The plant had bent until it could no longer bend anymore. The tension was thick as the plant stopped moving for a second (although it felt like several minutes, or perhaps hours) and then...
SSNNNAAAPP!
The stem broke cleanly. The plant fell on its side, not moving. Beast Boy had to jump out of the way as he transformed from a rhinoceros form back to his regular form of a green, elflike boy. But he emerged uninjured.
Robin, however, was not so lucky.
MEANWHILE, IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE (earth-16, to be exact)
The team stood in near silence in the hub. No missions, no training. Unless there was an emergency, today was just supposed to be a day off. However, superheroing sort of cut into social time so no-one had anyone to see or anything else to do. Everyone was just sort of standing around.
"Seriously," Kid Flash spoke up, "Doesn't anyone have anything to do?"
"Nope." Said Robin.
"Nothing here." Artemis chipped in.
"All right then. " Kid Flash shrugged and went back to staring into the distance.
They continued in silence for a few moments until suddenly, everyone heard a loud thump. They quickly turned their heads only to see Robin on the floor, his dark sunglasses askew, revealing his eyes were shut. His mouth was slightly lolling open.
"Robin!" Aqualad stood up and rushed over to the unconscious teenager, followed by the rest of the team. He knelt down next to Robin and placed his finger on the carotid artery. After a moment the Atlantean let out a breath. "He's alive."
The reaction was mutual. The entire team seemed to relax s bit and let out their breaths. Then M'gann spoke up. "Should we call batman?"
Aqualad held up a hand. "Wait. I think he's waking up. Maybe he'll know why he fainted." The Boy Wonder let out a moan and held a hand to his face, pushing the sunglasses back in place. After a moment of looking groggy (something the team wasn't used to, Robin was usually so alert!) he seemed to wake up fully and sprung into a defensive position.
"Robin, are you okay?" Connor said tentatively.
"Who are you people?" They couldn't see it, but behind his glasses, Robin's eyes were darting back and forth, trying to take in his surroundings. "And why did you bring me here?"
So yeah! Hope you enjoyed this, I'm not super great at remembering things but I'll try my best to update this at least once a month!
