Confining a Raven

Chapter I: Goodbye Gift

It was a normal day at the Tower no crime was committed in the last three days, though, no one took notice to it. Starfire was in the kitchen mixing together another concoction of hers and humming a little melody cheerfully to herself. Beast boy and Cyborg were playing Game Station as usual trying to beat each other's high score and Robin was their audience. The only person missing was Raven.

"Azarath... Metrion... Zinthos..." she chanted continually as she floated above the roof. She often enjoyed the beautiful oceanic view and the fresh sea breeze that blew through her hair. The odd thing was... there was none. The sky was gray and everything was quiet. All that could be perceived was the waves crashing against the rocks below.

"FRIEND RAVEN! Thank goodness I found you" Starfire burst through the roof door frightening the empath making her fall on her ass.

"Starfire… this better be very important" she growled while dusting herself off.

"My deepest apologies" She recoiled but quickly inched closer to Raven beaming as she carried something behind her back,

"What do you want" Raven sighed.

"I made this for you" she shoved a bowl of bubbling gray goo into her hands with a big wooden spoon, " I call it 'The Pudding of Solitude"

"…" Raven stared at the goo; it smells worst than it looks, "...Uh... Star thanks... but" she tried to find a way not to hurt the Tamaranian girl feelings.

"Here try it!" She took the spoon and hoists it into the gray goo. Before she could force it into Raven's mouth the blob hopped off the spoon and ran away. Starfire smiled sheepishly as Raven stared dumbstruck at the running blob.

"Raven! There you are..." Robin opened the door and leapt out the way as the gray glob dashed past him, "Do I even need to ask..."

"I will go and retrieve it" Starfire flew off after it.

"I came up here to ask if you needed any company but apparently not" he smiled.

"I think I meditated enough for today anyways..." Raven walked off pulling up her hood.

"Well were going to the park later would you like to come?"

"I was actually going to finish the last chapters of my book"

"Aw come on Rae it's a group activity and well you're a Titan" he pleaded.

"I'm sure there will be many other group activities even if I don't attend this one" she declined.

"Please"

"No"

"What about for the team"

"Not life or death so I think I'll pass"

"But Beast Boy wanted a rematch with the Ultimate Stinkball game"

"Isn't every game the ultimate one..." she stated in a monotone voice.

"Maybe… either way you don't have a choice" Robin grinned as he grabbed Raven's hand and led her off the roof. She blushed from surprised and pulled her cloak closer.

Robin stopped running and led her to the living room, "Okay I finally convinced her to go"

"Since when did convince get a new meaning" Raven snatched her arm away "By the way if you ever do that again …your dead" she glared. He just smiled half-heartedly down upon her.

"Excuse me!" Starfire zoomed past the two still chasing the glob. She accidentally collided with Cyborg after he turned off the Game Station.

"Ok, I'm ready to go" Beast Boy stepped into the living room 'splat' "Dude! What is that?" He picked up his foot and saw goo all over his left shoe. His face turned even greener than it was originally. Cyborg burst out laughing literally rolling on the floor. "Dude! This isn't funny how about I put it on you" he exclaimed chasing Cyborg as he hopped on one foot.

"Starfire what did I tell you about experimenting with food" Robin scolded her.

"Problem solved?" Starfire scratched her head in confusion. There was no need to chase the glob anymore thanks to Beast boy.

BEEEEEEPPPP BEEEEEEP

"Looks like they just begun" Raven stated as the alarm went off.

Robin ran to the super computer to get the coordinates "Slade!.. He's downtown causing trouble" he grew angry, "Before you do anything Beast boy go clean off your boot" he commanded the green changeling that was about to pounce on Cyborg, "We'll meet you downtown... TITANS GO!"

Cyborg hopped into the T-Car waiting on Beast Boy to clean off his shoe. Robin hopped onto his R-cycle as Raven and Starfire flew ahead.

Robin, Raven, and Starfire arrived downtown to find Slade awaiting them with a smirk plastered onto his face.

"Slade..." Robin growled, "What's the meaning of this!"

"AHHH!" Starfire screamed as they became surrounded by hundreds of Robots. Everyone stood in their defensive forms ready to be attacked.

"I decided to drop off a goodbye gift to you before my departure" he stated in a narcissistic tone of voice.

"What do you mean 'goodbye gift?" Robin inquired.

"You will soon find out…" He grinned even more. Robin leapt into the air and came crashing down with a kick at Slade but he dodged it.

The robots began to attack. "Azarath… Metrion… Zinthos!" Raven surrounded a nearby light post with her dark energy knocking some of the robots in a wall. Starfire flew high above and began hitting them with her powerful star bolts.

The fight between Robin and Slade lead on until Slade got a hold of Robin's pole and knocked him into a wall. He slumped onto the ground from the firm impact.

"Very disappointing Robin… I thought you could at least last until I finished warming up" Slade walked towards him slowly, "Oh well… I'll just finish off the little birdie now" He raised the pole high above him getting ready to strike until he was struck by a sonic beam slamming him a few yards away.

"BOOYAH!" Cyborg yelled as Beast boy helped Robin up, "You can't forget about us" Cyborg raised his cannon again but was struck down by a robot.

"Seems some more of your friends came to save their little leader" Slade sneered as he rose from the concrete.

"Robin, are you okay?" Starfire blasted one last robot flying over to his side to ensure his safety.

"Yea I'm fine just a little banged up… uh… what's that smell?" The two smelt a stench coming from beside them; their eyes landed on… Beast boy.

"Beast boy… you smell" Robin stifled.

"Dude! It's not my fault. It was your stupid gray glob thingy the smell won't come out… man this stuff reeks!" He cried in his own defense.

"It is true you smell worst then one hundred glorgnofs rolling in a pile of muck" Starfire covered her nose.

"Yes, everyone pay attention to stinky here and let Slade get away" Raven stated slightly annoyed.

"I'll go after him you all stay here and take care of the rest of the robots" Robin dashed off.

Slade glided through the night sky hopping off roofs and jumping up stair cases. Robin was close behind occasionally throwing a Bird-a-rang after him. Slade came to a sudden halt.

"I think a little birdie wandered off from its flock" He snickered.

"Cut the crap Slade what are you planning and what do you mean by good bye gift?" Robin interrogated.

"My… my why so many questions" Slade antagonized him "… just know that I might have one less Titan to deal with by the end of the night…" he hissed.

That hit a nerve, Robin attacked him again but all his attacks were dodged. The fight went on until Robin finally pinned him to the wall by his throat, "I'll ask you one last time what are you planning..?" he whispered deadly.

Slade started to laugh in his face, "…Okay I'll tell you, not like it's going to make a difference… one of these buildings has a bomb in it that will detonate in fifteen minutes. You better hurry up and figure out which one though… you only have ten minutes left…" His face became twisted as he laughed even more.

Robin became infuriated and bashed Slade's head into the wall. He took out his communicator and Raven's head popped up on the screen. In the background he could see everyone worn out but still fighting the robots at their best.

"You know this really isn't the best time Robin" Raven stressed in the middle of the battle. She was dodging multiple attacks then possessed a car and heaved it towards the robots.

"Slade planted a bomb in one of these buildings. I need you and Starfire to locate and disarm it. Your job is to search the east side of town and Starfire the other but hurry we don't have much time!" Robin panicked.

"Don't worry I'm on it-" She stated before blocking another attack and passing the communicator to Starfire.

"Robin are you unharmed?"

"Yes Star I'm fine. I need you to help Raven find a bomb Slade planted in the city. She just left to search the East now I need you to search the rest. The guys should be okay with the robots" he sighed out of exhaustion

"I will use my greatest efforts" she gestured then flew off closing the communicator

"They won't stop it in time" Slade spoke into Robin's ear stopping him dead in his tracks.

He quickly recovered and flung Slade over his shoulder into the billboard a few feet away. Robin took off running and jumped high into the air to do round kick but he easily dodged it. However, Slade missed the birdarang planted nearby causing an explosion of ice when he landed on it. He was engulfed in a sheet of ice up to his neck unable to move. Robin opened his communicator again to see Beast boys face.

"Dude, so I just totally annihilated all the robots with my super awesomeness"

"Way to take all the fame" Cyborg voiced in the background, "Next time we'll let you handle everything"

Beast boy's smiled dropped when he grabbed the communicator away from him, "We're all clear on this end where did you send the girls"

Robin sighed again, he was tired of repeating himself for the umpteenth time that day, "Slade planted a bomb in the city I need you guys to split up and help the girls find it"

"Roger" the guys said in unison.

Robin closed his communicator and turned his attention to the frozen figure "What's your motive Slade"

"…"

"Answer me!" He demanded. Before he could do anything his communicator started to beep again.

"I have located the bomb of destruction two blocks south of your location shall I rid of it" Starfire questioned.

"No you might set it off I'll send Cy and BB to help disarm it"

"Okay I shall remain alert"

"Good job Starfire" Robin smiled.

"Thank you" she beamed.

Next Robin propped his communicator open to see Cyborg and Beast boy, "Good news Starfire has found the bomb but I need you two to help her disarm it fast."

"How about you just let the grass stain and his super awesomeness handle this one" Cyborg smirked.

"There's no time for jokes can you two handle this" Robin stated seriously.

"Don't worry I can handle it piece of cake but what about Rae?" Cy questioned.

"Forget about her and go help Star. I got Slade occupied right now so I'll alert Rae you two just focus on deactivating the bomb"

"No problemo" Beast boy saluted before they disconnected.

Robin's attention was caught when he heard Slade laughing "What's so funny it's a matter of time before we save the city and lock you up for good."

"Funny that you thought everything would be this simple" Slade continued to laugh and the ice began to crack.

Robin took a step back in defense again, "Stop bluffing. You thought you could use the robots to distract my team and then lure me out here near the bomb"

"Naivety is not a good look for you," Slade fully broke out of the ice and cracked his knuckles, "I don't have a motive. This is just a simple goodbye gift to a dear old friend" he smiled.

"You are not my friend!"

"Okay then I will rephrase: my ex apprentice"

Robin grimaced at his last words suddenly lunging forward to attack. Slade simply stepped away and dodged his attack but grabbed his leg in the process. He held him upside down then grabbed his communicator and tossed it to the side, "I started to feel neglected… but now that I have your full attention" He spun around like a dog would with a chew toy then slammed him to the ground. Robin laid on the ground in pain his head throbbing, "I'm going to tell you a story about the little birdie that couldn't" Slade slightly pressed his boot against his neck. Robin grabbed his foot and flipped Slade off him. He located his communicator propped open and tossed to the side. He leapt for it before Slade could interfere and seen Raven's face on the scene.

"Robin... I found it… there's… problem" It broke up and became static, "I can't… use… powers… some… field" She strained.

"You're kidding me right… two bombs?" He question quickly looking at a grinning Slade.

"Robin are you there? Hello? What should I do?"

"Raven get out of there! How much time is left?" He panicked as Slade began to step closer.

"It… forty-five… seconds" her voice was soft and her face was flustered.

"GET OUT NOW! HURRY!" Robin hollered at the communicator.

"There's… no time… I'll try… disarm it" she ran towards it, "I'm… sorry" Were her last words before she dropped the communicator.

"RAVEN NO!" Robin shrieked but could not be heard because he was disconnected.

Slade stood above him and kicked him in his ribs, "Insolent fools" He grabbed Robin by his neck tightly raising him into the air, "I'll just have to destroy two birds tonight" he took out the detonator and pressed the red button.

BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

"Sooo… I thought you said this would be a piece of cake" Beast boy probed as he watched the android dissect the bomb.

"It would be if you weren't breathing down my neck" Cyborg growled because the changeling was basically on his shoulders, "Dude it's called personal space!"

"Ha ha my bad" He took five large steps back and sat down.

BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

"Where is this piece of cake you are talking about" Starfire inquired.

They sat in silence, "Never mind Star, by the way did anyone else here that loud boom?" Beast Boy questioned as he sat on the cement resting from exhaustion.

"I don't know but it doesn't sound good to me" Cyborg was stunned.

"What if it was Robin? I have to go save him!" Starfire cried worriedly as she began to float into the air.

"Star wait… I'll come with you" Beast boy stood up finally; "We're a team I can't just let you go out there by yourself" he smiled.

"Plus it's too dangerous to fly at night especially when there's so much smoke in the air" Cyborg pointed at the gray sky, "I'll finish disarming the bomb you two go check it out oh and try and get in contact with Rae to see if she knows"

"Dude we totally forgot about Rae where is she?" Beast boy freaked. He knew she would have his head on a platter the next time she saw him.

"Don't worry Robin was going to call her to help us remember" Cyborg reassured him. Beast boy still couldn't shake this awkward feeling but nodded in agreement.

In the distance he saw a huge building explode repeatedly and fall into rubbish as it were made of glass. Smoke and debris flew everywhere as the fire took place. The night sky turned into thick gray smoke making it difficult to breathe.

"..Raven…" Robin spoke weakly before he fell unconscious from the lack of air.

Slade dragged him to the edge of the building now holding him by his shirt, "What a waste of time… still too weak… but I guess I can end that for you" He simply released his grip and watched Robin body descend from the ten story building into the oncoming traffic.
