Episode/Chapter 2 - Raven
"Alpha Squad, welcome to Iraq!" Impulse cheered, "we finally made it! I'm starving! When's dinner? Well, it's almost midnight...so....when's breakfast?" Blue Beetle glared at him.
"We'll worry about food later, Hermano. We need to focus on the mission first." Blue said.
"Who's that?" Miss Martian asked as she pointed out of the S-Cycle at the ground. They all looked out and saw a mysterious figure in a dark purple cloak. It was wandering in the wilderness, and it looked confused.
"Doesn't look like a citizen from Iraq." Superboy said.
"They don't usually wear...purple, do they?" Beast Boy asked.
"Let's leave it until after the mission. If it's still here, we'll go out and talk to it." Blue decided.
"But he probably has food! Let's go back!" Impulse said.
"No! We're going to get our own! LATER!" Blue called back to him, making Impulse cross his arms and lean back in his seat, pouting his lips like a four-year old. Suddenly, Miss Martian cringed.
"What's wrong, sis?" Beast Boy asked.
"Nothing. It's just that...I felt...something's gone wrong with the other team..." Miss Martian answered as she held her head.
"Did the satellite not make into orbit?" Superboy asked.
"Jaime Reyes." Blue Beetle's scarab spoke to Blue in his head, "I know what has happened, and it wasn't the satellite. The Nightwing was caught in an explosion just a couple of hours ago. He was diagnosed to have a slight concussion, but has broken the rules and went out on a date with Artemis Crock." Blue's eyes grew wide.
"Blue, you all right?" Impulse asked.
"It...it was Nightwing?!" Blue asked out loud. A few of them gasped.
"Wait, how do you know?" Miss Martian asked.
"My Scarab told me." Blue said and pointed to the Scarab on his back, "The satellite made it, but in the process, Nightwing was caught in an explosion, and, apparently, he got a concussion. But he's fine now. So fine, in fact, he's out on a date with Artemis!" Blue explained. Everyone was shocked about both parts of the story: the fact that the Nightwing got a concussion and the fact that he was out on a date with Artemis. Miss Martian smiled to herself when she heard this. Suddenly, something blasted the S-Cycle, causing it to go out of control.
"Whoa! Guys, we might be in for a crash landing!" Blue warned as they all held on for dear life. A few seconds later, they crashed into the dusty wilderness of Iraq. Miss Martian groaned as she sat up. She looked around making sure everyone was okay. The S-Cycle capsized on the ground, but started turning back into a Sphere. Everyone else was fine. Then she sensed a familiar presence. She turned around to see a familiar face she hoped she would never have to see ever again. It was the evil telepath, Psimon.
>> Hello again, Martian. So nice to see you again. << Psimon said to her telepathically.
>> Honestly, my feelings are not mutual...fortunately. << Miss Martian answered.
>> Now, now. Don't get sassy with me, girl. I have a backup plan in place. << Psimon said as someone else appeared behind Psimon. As soon as Beast Boy laid eyes on her, he filled with rage.
"Queen Bee!!!" He yelled.
"Why hello, Garfield, my darling! How are we?" Queen Bee asked.
"I'm not your darling! And I'm going to feel better than I have been once I smash your body into a million pieces for what you did to my mom!! And I will! I promise!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Garfield!" Miss Martian said.
"Sorry, sis. But I have to destroy her! To take revenge on her, and get vengeance for my mother." Beast Boy explained, almost breaking out into tears.
>> Okay. Just make sure we all stick with the plan though. << Miss Martian said in everyone's minds. Beast Boy nodded and put his fingers to his ears.
"Hahaha! Your confidence amuses me, child! But I'm dying to know if you can really fulfill that promise!" Queen Bee laughed, earning her a menacing growl from Beast Boy. He transformed into a rattlesnake and slithered up to her preparing to bite her.
"Uh-uh-uh!" Queen Bee said and stepped on him. Then she picked him up and stroked his head, taking control of his mind.
"Beast Boy!" Blue yelled.
"Garfield, I want you to go against your own team and kill them instead!" Queen Bee ordered and dropped Beast Boy. He turned back into his normal Human-monkey hybrid and froze. He turned to his own squad.
"Beast Boy?" Miss Martian asked.
>> Let's play. << Beast Boy said to them telepathically. Then he turned into a giant gorilla and roared at them.
"Garfield! We're one of you! Stop!" Blue yelled. Then he prepared to shoot him.
"No! He's still our teammate! You can't hurt him!" Superboy said.
"I'll distract him! Go get Queen Bee!" Impulse said. Then he dashed around Beast Boy. But all Beast Boy had to do was stretch out his arm and stop him. Impulse ran into Beast Boy's bulky arm and was knocked out cold. The others ran towards Queen Bee.
"Oh no you don't. Beast Boy!" Queen Bee called. He turned to her and ran up to her attackers and knocked each one out until he was left with only Miss Martian.
"Beast Boy? Beast Boy! It's me! M'gann! You don't want to do this!" Miss Martian said. Beast Boy shook his head then threw his giant hand across her body and threw her to the side unconscious. When he finished, he transformed to his normal body and stood in front of Queen Bee.
"Good boy, Garfield. Now go get lost. We have important business to discuss." She ordered Beast Boy as she stroked his hair. He nodded and turned into a hawk and flew away.
"Good work, my Queen. Now we must head to the War World. The Light will be having a meeting in three days." Psimon said.
"Where is it?" Queen Bee asked.
"On the other side of the Earth opposite the Watchtower, so that the Justice League and their pesky sidekicks can't get in the way." Psimon said.
"On the other side of the Earth? You mean in space?" Queen Bee asked.
"Yes. Which is why we have to leave now if we want to get there in time." Psimon said. Then they turned to the teens, sprawled out unconscious on the ground.
"Let's just leave them. They are of no use to us if they are dead." Queen Bee said. Then they both left in a jet that came down and took them. As soon as they were gone, Miss Martian sat up.
"Guys, they're gone. You guys can stop being dead now." Miss Martian said.
"That was fun!" Impulse said as he and the other boys got up and dusted themselves off. Then Beast Boy flew back to the group and turned back into his hybrid form.
"You can definitely say that again!" Beast Boy smiled and pulled out the earbuds he had in his ears, so that Queen Bee couldn't take control of him, "I wish I could've killed her though, sis."
"You're not a killer, Gar." Miss Martian said and put her hands on his shoulders, "Besides, We got what we needed already." Miss Martian said as she waved a small recorder in the air.
"Are you all right?" a voice asked from behind them. They turned around and saw the mysterious figure in the purple cloak.
"We're fine, thank you." Blue answered.
"I was passing nearby and I heard the fight. I came by and I saw you all get knocked out! I got extremely worried!" the figure said.
"Well, we were just playing dead. It was fun, to be honest!" Impulse said and smiled.
"Thank you for your concern, uh..." Miss Martian thanked and awaited a name.
"Apologies. My name is...Raven. I come from the past, not too long ago." Raven said. It turned out the figure was a girl, but they could only see her mouth and her eyes.
"Noted! You see, Impulse here came from the future!" Beast Boy said and he gestured towards Impulse.
"That's Beast Boy. This is Blue Beetle, Superboy, Impulse, and I'm Miss Martian." Miss Martian introduced.
"It is a delight to meet all of you!" Raven beamed.
"There are way more of us, actually." Impulse said.
"Is that so? I would like very much to meet them!" Raven said. They all looked to Blue awaiting an answer.
"Sure, why not. But we need to make sure that you're telling the truth and that you're exactly who you say you are." Blue answered.
"I have the joy! I am part of a group quite similar to yours! We are called the Teen Titans! We, in fact, have our own Beast Boy!" Raven said as they headed to the S-Cycle and got in.
"That's so crash!" Impulse said. Once they were in the air, everyone asked Raven more questions.
"So who else is on your team?" Blue asked.
"Well, we have a Cyborg, um, Starfire, Robin, and that's it."
"Hold on, Raven...you have a Robin?" Superboy asked.
"We do. Why? Do you have a Robin as well?" Raven asked.
"Do you know what his real name is?" Miss Martian asked.
"I believe it is Dick Grayson, is it not?" Raven asked.
"We have a Dick Grayson too, only now he's Nightwing." Impulse explained.
"Is that true? I would very much like to meet him!" Raven pleaded.
"Um, sure. I can give him a call. He's out on a date right now, I think." Superboy said and got out his phone.
"He is in love?! With somebody else?! This cannot be! I ...Starfire would be so very disappointed..." Raven said, earning her strange looks from the rest of the team.
"Well, we'll give him a call to meet up with us at the cave." Superboy said and typed in Nightwing's number and waited for him to answer.
