2 Years, 9 Months, 4 Days p32

Two Years, Nine Months and Four Days (Part XXXII) Africa, eighteen months beforehand Beast Boy sighed as he hung up the simple phone in the police station. "Asante, afia" he nodded to the officer on duty, a young looking man. The man held out the titanium belt that he'd demanded in trust in exchange for using the phone. Beast Boy grabbed it from the man and quickly belted it on as he saw the man try and surreptitiously wipe his hands on his pants. With a low growl that startled the officer, he stormed out of the station and took a half dozen steps before launching himself into the air and shifting into a eagle, flying away into the s

The Concern Within

"He was going to leave tonight, you know" "What?" Raven turned her head in surprise; she was meditating on the roof. After a day like today, her emotions were scattered and she needed to centre herself. But this news was important enough to delay for a few minutes. "What do you mean?" "I checked the security cam feeds. You guys didn't see it, but right now? All his stuff is packed into boxes. Neatly. They're all addressed to some address over in Midway City. He was about to shift and fly off when you happened down, I'll bet." "Why would he do that? We're more than his friends, we're his-" "Family. Yeah, I know. Though he's nev

Raven's Rest, Part III

Part III The wind whipped through the street as the two figures face one another, one huge and menacing, the other small and vulnerable. Although small objects began to tumble through the streets and the corners of buildings and lamp posts began to glow and melt, the kitten didn't flinch. Fighting against the wind, the cat slowly made its way towards the demonic figure, which seemed frozen. Although the animal was tossed off its feet and thrown back more than once, he never gave up. Eventually, he reached the girl and batted softly at her cape. Her eyes darted down and focused on the creature before one of her tendrils slowly moved towa

Healing Lightning, Part V

Chapter V: An Awakening, of Sorts It had been two days since Zuko had first woken up from his coma. Katara had stayed by his side as much as possible. She didn't know why, but she felt... something, some tenuous thread that seemed to connect her with the injured Firebender. She realised that it had always been present, a faint hint of something else, but it was stronger when he was physically here. Brushing his hair away from his face with a gentle touch, she smiled as he stirred and leaned into her hand. Hearing her own stomach rumble, she got up and nodded to Hanzu and Maraka, who were glaring at each other from opposite sides of the room.

The Raven's Rest, Part II

Part II As Robin saw Raven descend into her portal, he immediately relaxed. Twirling his bo staff to retract it, he slipped it back into it's place on his belt. "Alright team, Raven will meet us back at the Tower after-" An ear-piercing scream suddenly pierced the air before cutting off suddenly. "Raven!" Without even a moment's hesitation, Beast Boy flung himself at the barrier. Forgetting even to change shape, he slammed into the construct with his gloved hands and started pounding it. Cyborg and Robins' voices broke him out of his reaction long enough to change form into an Anklyosaurus and slamming the shield again, this time prod

The Raven's Rest, Part I

Part I The familiar klaxon of the Titans alarm rang through the Tower as the main computer picked up police radio chatter. Within heartbeats, all five Titans had assembled in the Ops centre and their gazes were trained upon the large monitor. "Alright, looks like we've got a situation at the Midtown Bank. Dr. Lights' been spotted trying to steal some cash. Titans, go!" The team dashed off to their various modes of transportation; Beast Boy and the girls simply ascended to the roof and flew off towards the city while Cyborg and Robin raced to the garage to nab their vehicles. --- --- --- oOo --- --- --- "Hmmm... all of this petty cash

Healing Lightning, Part IV

Chapter IV: A Warm Welcome to the Coldest City in the World Captain Sinaaq looked up at the Waterbenders all around the lock that separated the waterways of the Northern Water Tribe from the much lower arctic waters that flowed on the other side of the wall. A familiar smile stretched his weathered face as he watched the Waterbenders on the wall lower the lock's walls and raise the water level. He himself had once manned these very gates: that's what happened when you disobeyed Master Pakku's instructions. "Builds character and endurance" Pakku had said. Maraka had come up onto the deck and was whispering instructions to Maniitok. The y

Chapter III: Arrival at the Northern Water Tribe 14 months. Katara sighed as she realised that this was the first day of her fourteenth month in the Northern Water Tribe. She had come to her sister tribe with Gran Gran and Master Pakku when her grandmother's health had deteriorated, and Pakku had insisted that she return to her native tribe. After coercion not only from her old flame, but from her son-in-law as well, she eventually acquiesced. Pakku had suggested that Katara come along, as well. Although the Southern Water Tribe could use her help in the reconstruction, she remembered one of General Iroh's favourite teachings: One can n

Chapter II: Present Day Two years. It had been two years since the Avatar saved the world, and two years since Zuko's life had fallen from a semblance of normality to being consumed in a fiery blaze. Not long after his coronation, the Fire Nation council, by unanimous vote, had forced Zuko to cede the Phoenix Throne to Iroh until he "matured" to the age of ascension, in other words, 21 summers. Iroh fought this, of course, but he eventually relented, but only when they threatened to put Ozai's top remaining general, General Tsao, as Fire Lord Regent. General Tsao, long ago, had been the general on the War Council that had suggested sacri

Wrath of the Panther

It'd been a difficult fight – the Titans were down a member with Starfire visiting her homeworld for some sort of festival – but things were finally winding down. The HIVE 5 had tried to loot one of STARR Lab's newest research facilities in Jump City, one specialising in faster than light research, when the Titans had showed up n the nick of time. It had been an easy fight, at first, with Cyborg squaring off against the technological dwarf, Raven tackling Seemore, Robin with Billy and Beast Boy taking on Kyd. When Mammoth and a new girl showed up, however, that things got interesting. "Don't you know, Billy? The first sine of

1) What's your favorite color and why? Usually a deep purple, though I tend to shift between that and various shades of green. 2) Which pokemon do you think you'd be? Umbreon?  I have no idea. 3) Why'd you join dA? In all honesty, I can't remember.  It's been years, okay? 4) What's one thing you wish you could change about yourself but don't care enough to/ too lazy? Posture.  I'm a flippin' hunchback. 5) What's your favorite movie? Currently?  Probably Hellboy.  Classic. 6) Why do you love that movie? Because it's seven kinds of awesome, clearly. 7) What's your current fan obession(s)? Ummm... BBRae, I guess.  I've been trying t

First off - Holy crap YES. Gar Logan?  BEAST BOY.  They said that they were introducing BB into YJ-verse, but this?  I was not expecting something like this.  And where's B's dad? I totally lol'd at the producers of 'Hello Megan'. Miss M as a White Martian?  Loving the comics/YJ-verse crossovers here. I have to say, I'm loving the development of Psimon as M'Gann's major foe.  He's literally pschoanalyzing her in her OWN HEAD.  Damn, but White Martian!M'Gann is brutal.  I hope that Psimon won't be catatonic forever. Dammit, M'Gann, you missed the PERFECT opportunity to reveal yourself in all your White Martian glory.  Of course, there's s
