Stranded Revised
Raven walked through
the tower and sighed. 'I like him…but…he likes Starfire, and
it's easy to see why…' She bumped into the focus of her
thoughts and fell down.
"Sorry Raven…wasn't
watching where I was going…" The boy wonder offered his hand and
she took it, feeling a slight tingle.
"Th-thanks…I was
lost in thought…" She pulled her hood over her eyes to hide the
blush.
"Are you alright?"
He looked at her with concern.
"I'm fine…" She
turned away and headed towards the common room.
"…Alright…let the
others know to meet at the T-Ship, a communications satellite hasn't
responded in quite some time." He headed toward the hanger.
"Will do…" She
walked in to the common room and relayed the message.
The station was dark
and creepy. Raven walked next to the boy wonder and kept her stoic
façade. 'This is just too quiet…' She looked to the boy
wonder and found strength.
"What are you smiling
about?" Beast Boy smiled at Raven.
"Nothing…" She
dropped her smile and walked side by side with the boy wonder.
Starfire walked on the other side of the boy wonder.
"So, whadda' you
think what happened here?" Cyborg looked around at the wires and
broken pieces of metal.
"This does not look
good…" Starfire looked around. When they came to the control room
Cyborg got to work fixing the damage.
"There we go, purring
like a kitten…" The tin-man affectionately patted the consol.
That's when they got their eardrums blasted and thrown to the
consol's.
"Looks like we found
out who did it…" The green animorph pointed up as soon as he
could hear again.
"More like what…"
Raven readied her aura and threw some debris at the thing that
attacked them. The boy wonder jumped from a railing to a chain and
launched some small explosives into its mouth. It screamed and
launched itself at the boy wonder but was blocked by a black
force-field. Starfire kicked it in its head, but it quickly recovered
and punched her through a bulkhead. When it had cornered the birds,
Robin jumped off the ledge holding onto Raven.
"What are you doing!"
She looked into his eyes with pure panic.
"Teleport us! I trust
you!" Raven teleported them back to the catwalk. The boy wonder
didn't let go.
"What are you doing
to friend Raven?" Starfire looked at the boy wonder with a cocked
eyebrow.
"N-nothing…" He
blushed as he let go of the dark bird. 'he likes you…'
Intelligence looked at Raven.
"Are you gonna stay
here with your girlfriend or what?" The green jester joked. The boy
wonder blushed and the dark bird looked away.
"…Lets get out of
here…" Raven hid her blush with her hood.
"Well…he didn't
deny it…" Cyborg looked shocked.
"What do you mean he
didn't deny it?" Star looked over at the birds worriedly.
"Well…I think he
likes her…" The green animorph was silenced by a metal hand.
"I think he meant to
say as a friend…right?" The Tin-man hinted at the green animorph.
The catwalk exploded upward and a very angry thing screamed, throwing
everybody towards the T-ship.
"Everybody in!" The
boy wonder yelled and his team complied. When they were safely away
the thing grabbed on to their ship and tore out the communications
relay and tore out a few other pieces that caused the ship to
separate. The boy wonder kicked off the cockpit glass and opened his
comm. unit.
"Anyone there?" He
repeated and received nothing. He walked a ways till he found another
pod with Raven inside, unconscious. He checked her vitals as she
slowly woke up.
"Wh-where am I?"
She looked at him from her prone position.
"Don't exactly
know…can you stand?" He helped her to a sitting position.
"I think I can…"
She stood with no trouble and looked at him.
"We need to find the
others…" He said as the thing from the station screamed at them,
throwing them a few feet away. He launched himself at it and was
thrown back, the dark bird caught him and teleported away.
Beast Boy walked till
he found another pod, he found it open and Starfire sitting next to
it.
"Glad to see ya'…"
He grinned and then noticed her down expression.
"Glad to see you
too…" She looked at him.
"Umm…I think we
need to find the others…" The green animorph sat next to her.
"Where shall we
begin?" The alien princess looked at him.
"This has always
worked for me…eeny, meany, miny, moe." And he started walking in
the last direction his finger pointed. She got up and followed.
The boy wonder woke a
set of violet eyes looking down at him. 'So beautiful…'
"Are you alright?"
She looked into his eyes. He then realized he didn't have his mask
on.
"Wh-where's my
mask?" He asked, his voice slightly cracking.
"It was lost when
that thing attacked…why cover your eyes?" She bent down and
cleared his hair from his face.
"To hide my
identity…but I guess you know everything…" He cupped her face
and brought it closer.
"And you know
everything about me…" She let him bring her head closer to his.
The thing came through a cave wall and barreled down at them. She
teleported herself and the boy wonder to the other side of it. The
boy wonder launched into a leap kick, knocking the thing back a few
feet. The dark bird picked up a few rocks and boulders and threw them
into the mouth of the thing. The thing spat out the rocks, a big one
hitting and breaking the boy wonders arm. Ravens eyes split in to
four and glowed red.
"You like to break
things? Then break this!" She engulfed and crushed it, leaving a
crumpled mess on the cave floor. The boy wonder looked in shock and
awe.
"I didn't know…that
you could get that angry…" The look of shock not leaving his
face.
"Let me heal your
arm…" She gently took his arm and a blue glow brought it back to
normal, but she didn't let go of it.
"…Feels great…"
He looked into her eyes with no fear. She traced her hands up his arm
and to his face. He brought her closer and their lips met, carrying a
spark of electricity.
"Umm…" Raven
looked into his eyes with fear as he hugged her closer.
"We'll let the
others know…" He let her head rest on his chest.
"What about
Starfire?" She asked.
"I'll admit, she's
good to look at…but you've captured my heart…as well as my
soul…" He interlaced his fingers with hers and she sighed
happily. 'He…loves me…even knowing what I have to do…he loves
me…'
A completed cyborg
came upon the new couple and shook his head. 'Stars not going to
take this well…' He shook them awake.
"Well…don't be
getting' too close now…the towers not equipped to handle
children." The tin-man smirked as the birds blushed.
"Have you found the
others yet?" The boy wonder looked at the tin-man.
"Nah…I heard a
noise in here and I had to check it out…ya' all ok?" Cyborg
looked at the messy remains of the thing.
"Rae took care of
it…after it had broke my arm…" Robin hinted to close the
subject and the tin-man got the hint.
"Arm looks ok to
me…now I have a warning for you Rob…don't brake her heart…or
I'll break you." The tin-man went from good-natured to serious
and back again.
"I don't think
she'll let me…" The boy wonder got up and helped up his
girlfriend. Their hands never left each other.
Starfire and Beast Boy
looked tired.
Starfire and Beast Boy looked tired.
"We haven't found anyone else, did we pass that rock a while
back?" The alien princess looked confused. Beast Boy looked around till he
spotted a wreck of a T-Ship heading their way. He turned into a green elephant
to get their attention.
"That's a weird sight…" Cyborg said as he landed the T-ship.
The T-ship only had tree of its compartments and Cyborg was the only one
piloting, the birds already in one compartment.
"Well, here goes noth'en…Star! BB! You share that one!" The
tin-man looked worried as he pointed to the empty compartment. The ride home
was going to be eventful.
