Human pt. 1: A Mission

Crashing and clashing all around, explosions set off about every minute. A huge scream ringed through the air. Blood was dripping from the all of the fallen Titans.

Black magic and red rays flashed through the air. Green claws clawed at the man who was firing at  his dark friend. The man  grabbed the green Titan and through him on the floor, where he laid unconscious. The dark Titan ran at him but the man fired the ray at her. She slammed against the wall, hitting her head so hard that blood ran down her pale skin. The man continued with his master plan. The changeling arose and began to charge at him weakly. The man turned to him with the weapon. The green tiger clawed the main power  source, the device began to spark with energy. The man threw the device, not knowing where it was going, towards the empath by mistake. He ran as fast as he could to her. The empath  slowly opened her eyes only to see her green friend jump in front of a white blast and vanish. Everything was pounding inside of her body, the sounds were muffled but still easy to make out.

“BEAST BOY!!!!!!,” came a voice as the green Titan vanished. The empath  closed her eyes once more and blacked out.

                                                 ~✟~

Raven shot up, out of breath and sweaty. Her eyes watered, remembering the scene. It’s been over two years since their friend had been killed. Everyone is still taking it pretty hard. Robin is  always working, along with Cyborg who is working on his car or the tower’s security system. Starfire is always either hanging out in her room or at the mall. And Raven...well, she had it worst of all, she would stay in her room all day and only come out when it was necessary. All of them would have nightmares every once in a while but Raven would have them all the time. It was the same nightmare every time, Beast Boy being demolished in a flash of white. She never told anyone about her nightmares, even when all of the Titans were in therapy, Raven didn’t say one word about them. The others knew Raven was having trouble sleeping. They’ve tried everything they can to get her to talk but nothing seemed to help. It was a constant nightmare through her eyes and she just couldn’t take it on some days.

Raven lied back on her pillow and covered her body once more in her covers. Her eyes shifted back and forth before she fell back to sleep.

When she woke up, Raven heard a loud knock at her door. Groggy, Raven trudged to the door. To her surprise it was their fearless leader. Raven began to shut the door but Robin stopped her. She glared at him.

“Raven, we’re having a meeting in about ten minutes and you are required to be there. This has some concerns with a neighboring town.”

Raven rubbed her eyes, “Okay, I’ll be there.”

“Good.” And with that, the leader shut the door.

The empath took it upon herself and got dressed with only minutes to spare. Raven walked into the commons room and sat down on the dull coach. The others were their but sat on opposite sides of the room. No one spoke except for their leader, who was telling them their mission.

“...Alright team, the mayor just informed us that there is a missing prisoner out on the loose.  He was last spotted in the next town over. Now, he does have powers and we need to be extra careful, he has some sort of controlling power. Try to keep your distance from him when we get there….This is also a stake out, we will have to lay low for a long time, depending on how long it takes us to apprehend the prisoner.”

The other Titans nod their heads and agreed with their leader.

“...So in the mean time, pack up for the mission. You are dismissed.”

All the Titans left the room and began to prepare for the mission ahead.
