Ok theses of you who know about my fanfic will be happy that I’m posting it. It’s a little confusing 'cause I tell some of the beginning through Sparrow's point of view and some of the parts are told by the author (me). I hope you like it!!!!
Chapter1 Introduction
I cannot tell you all the facts about me for I know there is someone who knows me better than I know myself. But I can tell you about my past and about who I am today. I live on Azerath (or is it Azareth?) a different demission than earth. It is on earth but is like a planet within a planet. I was about three when I met the wonderful girl that would become my best friend. She was cursed with a terrible father bent on destroying Aerate and her. As far as I know he is still living but my friend has driven him from Azerath.Her name is Raven.Raven has powers that no one can imange.She is beautiful and i will confess to you that i have more than feelings of friendship for her.My heart was broken when she left Azerath for what reason i do not know.i miss Raven very much but when i turn 18 i will be able to go find her.My past is important ot this story as well as my friendship with Raven.i can control people.i can make them do whatever i want them to.My parents saw problems as soon as i was born. They taught me to do nothing but good and didn't tell me my powers until I was six. I cannot remember how I reacted, but I suppose I was excited and angry. Angry at my parents for not telling me sooner. I am an expert at using my powers now. Most of the time I just use them to kid around with my friends. Sometimes I pretend to not have these powers so I don't take advantage of them. I don't really think I am special. A lot of people on Azerath have powers more spectacular than mine. Like Raven.... she describes her powers as a burden and hard to manage. I think her powers are fantastic and interesting.
Chapter 2 "No Turning Back"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPARROW!!"
"Uh Zara," I said sleepily.
"Get up, get up, get up!" Zara screamed at me.
I looked at the small, black clock by my bed. 6:00 in the morning. Why did my annoying little sister have to wake me up so early? And on my birthday!
"Zara, you really should try and be nicer to me today. It's my birthday after all," I told her.
"I know that! But Mom told me to wake you up so you can tell her what kind of cake you want!" Zara said exasperated. Zara is 12 and I am 18 in .... four hours. I stumbled out of bed. Zara just stood there looking at me.
"What do you want?" I asked her. She sniffled at me and said: ”You’re the best big brother I ever had…..and you’re going to leave us to go find your friend Raven.” I looked at her pitiful face and felt a lump in my throat. I picked Zara up and swung her around. Her face brightened as I sat her down again. Zara then skipped out of my room so I could change my clothes. My room and clothes are a lot a like; dark. My room is black, dark blue and dark green. Mt clothes contain: a dark green cloak and a black full length suite. There is a symbol on my chest that I drew when I was very little. It is a sparrow (duh like my name) but it looks like a bird with tails of fire. On my clothes it is dark blue across my chest. I hurried down stairs; my mom greeted me at the bottom of them. Behind her I saw a black sign that said: ’Happy 18th Birthday Sparrow’.
“Oh honey sorry about the early awakening but I waned to make sure you wanted a chocolate on chocolate cake”. Mom rushed. My mom always wants to be on time.
“Yes mom just like every other year” I told her. My Mom nodded and hurried into the kitchen. My father walked up to me.
“Son, no more kid stuff. You’re a grown man now.” He shook my hand. I felt mature. We all milled around until the party started. My Mom only stopping her work to have a quick breakfast. Then she was on her feet again. ******
The party was fun. Laughing, jokes, wrestling around. But now it is time to pack, so I can go find Raven. I carried only a small bag on my shoulder. Mother sobbed, Father was serious, Zara, well Zara was happy, sad, mad, and hurt all at the same time. I hugged and kissed my mother, received a hug and pat on the back from Father. Zara was the hardest one to say good-bye to. Her big orb-like eyes were shining with tears. I picked her up and held her to me.
“I’ll always be thinking about you,” she whispered in my ear. I wiped a tear from her face and she must’ve wiped one from mine. I put her down.
“You know if you want to, you can…. come back,” my Mom said.
“No, Mother. As soon as I walk out this door there is no turning back. I will find Raven no matter what.” With one last look at my wonderful family, I took a slow step out the door. Soon I was out the door and looking in at my family. They all smiled and waved. I waved at them and walked down the road. I dragged my feet and turned back to look at the light the size of a post stamp that was my front door. ******
Raven sat alone in her room. She was thinking about the day. Today was the day that her old friend celebrated, but she didn’t. Sparrow’s birthday. She flipped through a photo album and stopped on one picture. Ignoring the picture in the front, Raven reached for the hidden picture behind it. This would be a funny picture for some, but for Raven it was unusual. The photograph showed Raven and Sparrow about eight. Sparrow had his lips on Raven’s cheek. This had been the first time that Sparrow had showed Raven he cared for her more than just a friend. Raven in the photo was surprised and two windows shattered behind her. Raven replayed the day in her mind. Sparrow had walked up to her very nervous. He took a step forward and kissed Raven’s cheek. He had drawn back quickly. Raven was unprepared as the windows broke. Sparrow’s face had gotten so red with embarrassment you couldn’t imagine it. Raven’s mother had taken the picture and given on to her just to make the embarrassment last. Raven smiled slightly at the memory. She hadn’t told any of the Titans about her friend Sparrow. Nor was she going to. But something inside her told Raven that Sparrow was closer than she thought.
As told by Sparrow….
I had killed many miles by flying. Now I was in a city called Gotham. I remembered from Raven’s letters that her friend Robin was known in Gotham. I saw a man, older than me, sitting on a bus bench. I steered myself through the crowd surrounding me to get to him. He saw me and could tell I wanted to talk to him. All he could see were my eyes as I had my hood up.
“Excuse me sir…”
“Oh, call me Jason,” the man interrupted.
“Ok, Jason, do you know about Robin?”
“Robin… yes the young teen who trained with Batman a few years ago. I think he left Gotham and went to JumpCity, not far away. Calls his new team the Teen Titans.”
“Thank you very much, Jason. This information will make it much easier to find my friend”. I turned to leave.
“Good luck… uh, I did not receive your name,” Jason said.
“Sparrow. I’m Sparrow.”
“Right. Good luck Sparrow!” Jason told me.
I smiled at Jason as I was pulled into the crowd. ******
Raven snapped her book shut. She couldn’t concentrate with Beast Boy and Cyborg yelling as they played the Gamestation. Robin saw Raven get up and looked darly at Cyborg and Beast Boy. He didn’t want Raven to get angry. Robin’s look silenced Cyborg, but Beast Boy kept on shouting.
“Dude, I passed you! I’m going to win, I just know it! Time to change your name to the formerly undefeated….”
“Yo BB!” Cyborg said.
“What?” he asked.
“Shut up,” Cyborg told him, nodding towards Raven. Raven had been acting different, no doubt about it. Ever since she got a vision at dinner a few nights ago. They all knew it was a vision because Raven’s eyes had turned black for a minute. Raven had said she was going to the roof to meditate. She had a vision about Sparrow coming to see her. Raven hoped with all her heart that he was. She wanted to see her old best friend so badly.
As told by Sparrow….
I reached JumpCity in a matter of hours after talking to Jason. I would have gotten here quicker, but I had no idea where I was going. I had to follow the street signs, which slowed me down. But anyway, I’m going to find out where these Teen Titans are. Robin will know where Raven is, I’m sure. I walked into the town and looked around. It was night and all the buildings had bright lights on them. I passed a large building and was able to see the ocean. Right by the coast line was a really big building shaped like a T. “Why not?” I thought. I flew over to the coast and up to a big gray door. ******
The security alarm jolted Raven from her sleep. She used her powers to get her cloak and rushed out of her room. Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire were already out in the hall too. Beast Boy stumbled in rubbing his eyes. He was still half asleep. Everyone but Beast Boy ran down the stairs. He just stumbled slamming against the wall every now and then. They got into the living room and heard a banging on the door. Raven used her powers to see who was outside. She was astounded when she saw Sparrow smiling at her. ******
As told by Sparrow…..
“Raven!” I said smiling at her.
“Sparrow?” Raven said. She was very surprised. The big grey door opened. I was faced with a very pretty alien girl, a half-asleep green changeling, a half man, half robot, and a boy wonder.
“Raven,” the boy with spiky black hair said. “Who is this?”
“This is… Sparrow,” Raven said slowly.
“Oh a lot of help that does us! Hurry up, I’m losing valuable sleeping time here!” the changeling shouted. Raven rolled her eyes. Apparently she didn’t like the green boy.
“Come up to my room. We’ll have to talk about this in the morning,” Raven told me. I followed her up millions of stairs to a door that said ‘Raven’ on it. The door opened automatically and we stepped in.
Raven’s room was dark, like mine. That was one of the things we both liked – dark. Many unusual masks seemed to stare at me as I looked around the room. Raven brought me a cot and some blankets. She found a spare pillow in her closet and handed it to me. I threw my cloak off and pushed it under the cot. Raven too removed her cloak. Now I could see the beauty of Raven’s eyes that had always been one of her best features, in my opinion at least. I pulled up the covers and got in, the cot I guess.
“I’m going to meditate before I get in bed. It’s the only way to keep me from dreaming,” Raven told me. I nodded. After my three day journey I was very happy to have a comfortable place to sleep. Raven’s quiet chanting of “Azerath…Metrion…Zinthos… Azerath…Metrion…Zinthos… soon made me drift off to sleep. ******
I woke up early, as I normally do, and heard the water running. Raven was in the shower. I retrieved my now wrinkled cloak and put it on. As I left Raven’s room, I hoped I wouldn’t get lost on my way to the living room. To my fortune, the mechanical teen was also leaving his room.
“Hey!” I said, running up to him. He looked at me with a puzzled look. “I’m afraid if I try and go downstairs by myself I’ll get lost. Raven’s in the shower and I didn’t want to bother her when she gets out,” I explained.
“Don’t worry, I’ll show you the way down. I’m Cyborg,” he said, holding out a hand. I shook it and said: “I’m Sparrow.”
“So you’re a friend of Raven’s?” Cyborg asked.
“Yeah. I met her when I was three. She was only two. Our parents worked together, so it was planned for us to be friends.” We started walking down the hall.
“Do you know who Trigon is?” Cyborg asked.
“He’s Raven’s father. A demon who wants to destroy Azerath. Yeah, I know about him alright, big problem for Raven.” I stopped, wondering something. “How do you know about him?” I wanted to know.
“Oh, uh, well, that’s a long story. BB went into Raven’s room and made me come with him. We got stuck in a mirror that was a portal into her mind. We helped her fight Trigon.”
“Um… who’s BB?” I asked.
“Oh right, BB is Beast Boy. He’s the green one.”
“Oh, ok. Raven doesn’t seem to like him very much.” I wanted Cyborg to know I had found something out.
“She thinks he’s loud and his jokes are annoying, but she does like him. I mean, he’s Raven’s friend.” I nodded. Zara and I are like that. I can really hate her but then I love her to death. I know it’s weird for a guy to admit he loves his little sister, but it’s true. We got downstairs and to a grey door. This one opened automatically like Raven’s bedroom door. We walked through it and Cyborg walked into the kitchen which was connected to the living room.
“What do you like for breakfast?” Cyborg asked me.
“I’ll wait until Raven comes down. Chances are I’ll like what she’s eating.” I didn’t want to make Cyborg go to the trouble of fixing me breakfast when I wasn’t really hungry. Raven came through the door. As usual she started making her herbal tea. I walked over to her.
“What are you making?” I asked her.
“Herbal tea.” She replied as she helped herself to a steaming glass.
“Can I…” I began.
“Help yourself.” Raven interrupted.
“Thanks.” And I too got a mugful. Soon the spiky-haired boy and the alien girl arrived and started eating the breakfast Cyborg had prepared. A half-hour Beast Boy entered. Turning his nose up at the breakfast on the table, he made what looked like tofu waffles. As soon as he had stared eating a loud alarm went off.
There, happy now? I will try and keep you as updated as possible so you don’t have to wait. I know how much I hate waiting so I don’t want to make you guys suffer. More tomorrow probably!

I THINK it's Azarath. I might be wrong.
Great story! But like all other fics are, would3 the Titans really be soquick to accept this dude they dont even know? He walks in, and goes up with raven. Do they just think, ok! Probbaly not. But My fics like that too, and I made the same mistake. Besides that little thing, Great start! Please write more!

MORE!!!! i am not good at writing fight scenes just so you know ;)
As told by Sparrow:
Everyone ran to the TV that took up most of the living room. It took me long enough but I realized that Robin is the black-haired boy. He pushed some buttons on the control panel and a sludge monster appeared.
“Let’s go.” Robin said. Everyone but me ran towards the door.
“You coming?” Raven asked. I didn’t think they needed me so I nodded, happy to be like part of the team. We found the monster at a toxic waste dump. He was drinking the waste and getting bigger and bigger.
“Plasmus.” Robin said. As if the thing knew its name it looked up at us. He threw sludge at Robin and Cyborg but it missed. The fight was on. The pretty alien girl shot her green bolts at Plasmus and many holes formed in his middle. Plasmus just looked down and filled the holes with sludge. Then, he threw sludge at her. It hit right on target and the alien girl was stuck.
“Starfire!” Robin yelled rushing over to her. While Robin tried to disentangle Starfire from the sludge, I drew my sword. I had to help one way or the other so I tried slicing Plasmus’ head off. Before I could get a clean cut he grabbed my leg. I was dangling about six feet off the ground; in danger of being dropped on my head. Raven took charge.
“Azarath…Metrion…ZINTHOS!” she said her magic words. Plasmus was forced to drop me as he was engulfed in black energy. Beast Boy seeing, me fall, grabbed my shoulders as an eagle. He put me down and then transformed into a bull that charged Plasmus. To my surprise this hurt Plasmus and stunned him. Cyborg took the opportunity to blast Plasmus with the cannon on his right arm. Robin had gotten Starfire out of the sludge and threw an exploding disk at Plasmus. When the dust that had swept up after the disk hit him Plasmus was nothing but a small man. He seemed to be knocked out. I guessed that Plasmus was only a monster when he was awake. We dropped him off at the jail and went back to the tower.
“Man you looked ready to kill with that sword!” Beast Boy told me. I removed the sword from its sheath and showed it to him. It was a good sword, very light and it could be considered a work of art. In the hilt there were black and red stones. The blade was nice and sharp. I took really good care of it and was trained well.
“So how come Raven’s from Azarath and has powers but you don’t?” BB asked me.
“Who said I don’t?” I shot back.
“Well it wasn’t like you did anything out of the ordinary when we were fighting Plasmus.”
“That’s because my powers wouldn’t have helped much in that setting.” I told him. Now I was ready for some fun. Beast Boy looked at me for a second. Then he was jumping up and down, flapping his arms like a chicken.
“Uh…Beast Boy what are you doing?” Robin asked.
“He’s not doing anything, I’m the one making him.” I said. Robin gave me quizzical look. Beast Boy stopped jumping around.
“Whoa dude… what was that? I heard your voice in my head telling me to jump and flap my arms and then I did it.”
“That’s because my power is to control.” Robin looked uneasy at this news. I had expected that as it was hard for someone to trust a guy if he can control people. He had no way of telling that I wasn’t controlling Raven.
Raven was holding a small book and not listening to a word of what was going on. I think you can guess the odd thing about that. I said a small book. Usually, Raven reads long drawn out books. I ignored Robin’s stare and went over to Raven. She snapped the book shut as I tried to look at it. From the short glance I found that it was a photo album Raven was looking at. Raven didn’t realize she still had a picture in her hand, and I saw it. I turned bright red at seeing Raven with this picture. It had happened so long ago that if she was looking at it… that meant that she had feelings for me… maybe.

For your first battle scene, it wasn't all that bad. It was a bit short, but had good detail. (It's spelt Plasmus) It was good how you explained how Robin reacted when he found out Sparrow's powers.
I don't think that Raven would be looking at a photo album of her past outside of her room though. Oh well. Still a very well writen chapter.

11-20-2004, 07:09 PM
Ok the reason Raven was looking at the photo album outside her room was because I‘m trying to give signs about Raven feeling.
As told by Raven…
Sparrow had seen the picture. I didn’t care, when Sparrow sees something that has to do with us I don’t have to make excuses to cover up for things. He doesn’t care. I can be with him and feel like I’m by myself. I put the picture back in its spot, I didn’t care if Sparrow saw it but if Beast Boy saw it we would never hear the end of it. Sparrow had turned red, as it was him that made the picture embarrassing.
“I’m going upstairs.” I said. Sparrow watched me leave the room. I mounted the stairs and climbed them to my room. Once inside, I started to meditate.
“Azarath… Metrion… Zinthos….Azarath…Metrion…Zinthos…” I chanted. By the time I was done and went back down to the living room, everyone was ready for dinner; the only problem was what to have? As usual the only thing we all could agree on was pizza. We drove to the pizza place in the T-car Sparrow was rather impressed that Cyborg had built this all by himself. We ordered our usual, me garlic, Cyborg a meat combo, Beast Boy veggies with no cheese, Starfire anchovies and mint frosting, Robin olive, and Sparrow ate a little of everyone’s except Starfire’s. Once we were done we stopped by the video store to get a movie for each of us. I didn’t get one; I planned to read in my room while the others watched their movies. But as we drove back to the tower I noticed something weird. It was two glints of red light in an alley. They looked like eyes but I couldn’t tell. Then in an instant they were gone. I don’t think anyone but me saw the ‘eyes’; still I was worried. It as if the eyes were a sign of danger.
As told by Sparrow…
My hands balled themselves into fists. I knew that those eyes belonged to someone who I truly hated; someone I never wanted to see again.
Why hadn’t I gotten rid of you when I had the chance? Now he would probably try to wreak the perfect life I had just pulled myself into. My nails dug themselves into my palms and my hands started to shake.
“What’s wrong?” Raven asked me. I just shook my head, unable to speak about the person who had just entered my life once again.
cliffhanger!!!! Hehehehehehehe :evil: :D

No nevermore, cliffhangers are BAD. BAD cliffhangers. BAD cliffhangers.
This story is really good, and I like it a lot. More bird names. Yippee! Sparrow seems like a cool character.
The one thing that bothers me in this fic is how you stole my 'As Seen Through the Eyes of..." "As Told By..." MY idea!!! MINE!
Overall, it's all good. As the mistress of death threats I give this:
MORE OR DIE!!! (Your choice...)

here's you diet soda and fries. no it's an update!!
As told by Sparrow...
“What’s wrong?” Raven asked me. I just shook my head, unable to speak about the person who had just entered my life once again. When we got back to the tower Raven asked me to come into her room. I was confused of course because I hadn’t been in there for a while.
“I saw something unusual in an alley on the way home. Something like red eyes.” Raven had seen him. I could have hugged her. Now she or maybe all the titans could help me get rid of him.
“You saw him too?” I asked.
“I wasn’t sure if it was a person but yes I did see him.”
“We have to stop him he’s either working for or Slade or is related to Slade I’m not sure yet.”
“I didn’t know you knew Slade.” Raven said.
“After you left Azarath many things you don’t know about happened.” I told her
As told by Robin…
I could feel something strange was going to or was already happing. Just like I could tell when Slade was up to no good, I could tell something was not right. This time it didn’t feel like it was Slade though. Plasmus’ escape was Slade’s doing but I think he just did that to see what Sparrow could do. He of course, knew Sparrow was here but he didn’t know much about him. I intend for it stay that way. The less Slade knows about Sparrow the better. He could help us if Slade knew little about him because then he wouldn’t know his weaknesses or how to beat him.
“Robin.” Starfire called. I went to my bedroom door and it slid open.
“In here Star.” I motioned for her to come in.
“Why were you sitting alone in such darkness?” Star asked me.
“I was thinking. Something doesn’t feel right.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know exactly. I just have this feeling…” I didn’t know how to finish. Starfire wouldn’t understand the complexity of my mind. Sometimes even I don’t understand it. The thing I hate most about myself is that I get frustrated easily, if I tried to explain this feeling to Star I’d get frustrated because she wouldn’t understand. And Starfire was the last person I wanted to get frustrated with. “Did you need something?” I asked Star. She usually needs help or something when she is trying to find me.
“Um yes I am unable to locate our friends Sparrow and Raven.” She said.
“I think they went to Raven’s room.” I frowned; maybe this feeling had something to do with Sparrow. I didn’t know much about his past but I could as him as soon as he and Raven were done talking.
“I’m going to stay up here and wait for Sparrow. I think he might be connected to this unusual feeling.”
“I will talk to you later?” Starfire asked.
“Sure and I can tell you what’s going on.” Star left and I had to wait only ten minutes before I heard Sparrow’s and Raven’s voices in the hall. I exited my room and walked up them.
“Sparrow I need to talk to you” I said. Raven went back into her room. Sparrow followed me to mine and we entered.
“I think there’s something weird going on.” I started.
“What do you mean?” Sparrow asked.
“Like something tied to you and your past.”
“You mean someone I hate wants revenge for me defeating him?”
“Yeah, that seems about right.”
“That is defiantly happing. Both me and Raven saw him on the way home.”
“Who is he?” I asked. If Sparrow had information on another villain that he was enemies with we needed to get rid of him.
“His name is…..”
And I’m going to leave you hanging! Don’t worry I’ll tell you in my next update. Maybe…..

my goodness children! Violence is not the answer!
Simply ask nicely, and then the author will have more incentive to write more for their adoring fans.
Trust me. Everybody likes kind adoring fans more than violent bloodthirsty ones.

Here's more! I am going to leave you hanging again. I love cliffhangers!
As told by Robin…
“His name is...” Sparrow started.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!
The alarm went off. I ran out of the room and Sparrow followed me. We went to the TV and pulled I up the villain as all the others got downstairs.
“Who is it?” Cyborg asked.
“I don’t know…” I said. This person was one I had never seen before. He had a black cloak on and his hood up. But I could see his bright red eyes.
“Let’s go.” I said. Even if I didn’t know this person I still knew we had to bring him down.
As told by Raven…
There were the eyes Sparrow and I had seen earlier that night. The ones belonging to… the person Sparrow hated most. It was pretty hard to get on Sparrow’s bad list. He’s an easy going guy, but still when he dislikes someone enough he gets pretty crazy. Is crazy the right word? Crazy is how Robin gets with Slade; is Sparrow’s hate for this guy like that? I don’t know.
We all followed Robin and Sparrow out of the tower. We found this guy at the jail attempting to free Cinderblock.
“If you want him you’ll have to go through us first.” Robin told him.
“With pleasure.” He said. “But first allow me to introduce myself. I am Barelei. (ber-l-a) I’m sure you remember me, Sparrow.” Sparrow and Barelei looked at each other with hate in their eyes. It was impossible to tell whose face showed more hate.
“Titans GO!” Robin yelled. We all attacked our new-found foe. Starfire shot her starbolts (1 word or 2?) at him. They all were dodged with incredible speed. Obviously it was going to be hard to hit this guy. Even so we had to try. I used my powers to hurl trash cans at Barelei. But a red force field, like my own, blocked my attack. He smirked at me and sent a jet of red light into my chest. I fell to the ground. Thinking he was finished with me, Barelei turned to face Robin who was ready to fight. Robin drew out his staff and spun it around in front of him.
“Oh god I don’t have time to play with a little boy with a baton.” Barelei said. Robin’s eyes narrowed under his mask.
“Ayah!” Robin yelled. He tried hitting Barelei in the neck. Barelei dodged again but was hit by a powerful blast from Cyborg’s sonic cannon. This was a smart move. While he was preoccupied with Robin Barelei hadn’t noticed Cyborg. We all knew that this wasn’t going to be enough to stop him but we could tell it hurt him.
Beast Boy decided to help by charging Barelei as a rhino. Barelei yawned and flew up. This caused Beast Boy to run head long into a brick wall. But I lifted him up before the impact.
“Thanks Rae I owe you one.” He said. Meanwhile Sparrow had tried hitting Barelei with many punches that had no affect. Barelei was too fast. Star hit him in the back with starbolts. Barelei fell to his knees. The forces of Star’s bolts were too hard to stand when they hit you. Sparrow, seizing his chance, kicked Barelie hard in the head.
Moments from fainting, Barelei shot a red energy bolt into Sparrow’s chest. Barelei fell to the ground but so did Sparrow. The bolt that hit him was powerful I knew. How I knew? Barelei’s powers were just like mine. I could tell that right away. Thankfully, I knew what to do.
“Let’s get him back to the tower!” Cyborg said.
“Wait! What should we do with him?” I knew that if we didn’t put Barelei in jail or something he would wake up and pursue us.
“Raven, no Beast Boy you take him to jail the rest of you come with me.” Robin instructed. Beast Boy nodded and grabbed the fugitive.
Back at the tower we lay the unconscious Sparrow on a bed in the medical room.
“Heal him Raven.” Robin told me.
“It’s not as simple as saying a few magic words. It takes time and strength away from me. I can heal myself and small injuries easily but healing Sparrow will be difficult.”
“Give it all you’ve got.” Robin told me. I think he’s taken a liking to Sparrow. I nodded and me hands started to glow black.
As told by Beast Boy…
I carried Barelei as an eagle to the jail. Why did I get stuck taking the bad guy to jail? This guy is creepy, maybe even more creepy than Raven. I thought. I looked down at the guy in my talons. He was still unconscious and felt heavy. Something bright red that looked like a dragon flew in front of me. It hit me and I fell out of the air. Then all I remember is pain as I hit the concrete and Barelei flying away…
you will know no more!!! :evil:

Short, but very good. Ok, critisism time: (since I've been nice ever since now.)
1. You made the pronouncing of Barelei look like something it's totally not pronounced like.;) I would know 'cause I helped you make the name. In fact, with out me or my Final Fantasy X-2 game, you would never have the name!!!! Muahahaha!!!!.....okay, I think I'm back to normal.... Anyway, for these poor readers, here's how it's pronounced: Buh-rel-ay say it with me: Buh-rel-ay, Buh-rel-ay, bis-cuts...oops, sorry, that kinda reminded me of the Revolution episode....:sweat:
2. yes 'starbolts' is one word.;)
3. I don't think Robin would make BB go alone to take Barelei to jail. Even he knows that it could be dangerous. He probably would've at least made one person go with BB.
4. Your spelling is improving. (although I know that your Microsoft Word Processor is doing a lot of help for you.) Anyway, Good job!
Okay, I'm done. And don't think of this as me being mean, 'cause it's just constructive critisism. Think about it. If people didn't like your fic, they wouldn't take time to say anything about it. They might just say "Good Job, keep up the good work" I, on the other hand, am taking time to help point out mistakes and/or help improve your fic. (This paragraph has a lot of what Reid said in JC's fic and I'm just passing it on. I just want to give him credit for his words of wisdom.)

ok.
1. making BB take Barelei to jail is an important part of the story.
2. it was hard to do the pronoucation of his name.
3. thank you for your critism, listening to it will make my story much better. :D
any crtisim you can think of is apperacited. i will be standing by waiting for more ;)

11-24-2004, 03:25 PM
this part is going to tell you exacly what Barelei's relationship with Slade is. and a little more......
As told by Barelei…
“I was too easy to fool the titans father.” I said.
“I knew it would be for you Barelei. You are a much worthier appetence for me. Terra was nothing but an idiot and a foolish one at that. You are much smarter and you will help me destroy the Teen Titans once and for all.” Slade told me. I grinned. It was my dream to work for my father, I am almost done with my training and will soon be able to do everything my father asks of me.
“Thank you.” I said bowing my head in respect for my dad. “I intend to do everything I can to rid us of the Titans.” Robin and the others were foolish to believe that they had beaten me. I had knocked out the pathetic excuse for a hero, and escaped. I knew that soon the other Titans would find him soon so they would know about my brilliant escape.
“Barelei, when I was observing your fight with the Titans, I noticed that you said you knew Sparrow from somewhere. Where? Information on him would be most valuable so we will be able to defeat him.”
“Ah yes, you see, father, when I was a villain in Azarath Sparrow tried, and I am ashamed to admit it, beat me in combat. I was forced to flee Azarath as not to be killed. But then I was not as strong as I am now. I am confident that I will defeat him and the Teen Titans.”
“What do you know about Sparrow?” Slade asked me with genuine interest.
“If only I could tell you. See he was not easily found out. He kept mostly to himself and didn’t tell anyone about him. But I do know his weakness…Raven.”
“Excellent…”
As told by Starfire…
Robin tried yet again to contact our friend Beast Boy who has been missing for quite a while.
“I fear he is injured.” I cried.
“We have to go find him.” Robin said. ”Cyborg, you have his signal?”
“Yeah, somewhere downtown.” Cyborg told us.
“Let’s move!” Robin said as we all went to locate our humorous friend.
Raven and I looked from the skies in attempt to find Beast Boy.
“There he is!” I screamed.
“Robin we found him.” Raven contacted Robin using her communicator. We flew down to witness the injuries all over Beast Boy.
“Oh no!” I said sadly. Raven and I tried to wake our hurt and now found friend. Beast Boy stirred and opened his eyes. He tried to sit up.
“Ouch!!!” he groaned.
“Please stay still you are badly injured.” I told him.
“What happened?” Raven asked.
“Barelei shot a big dragon like thing at me; he was only pretending to be unconscious. I fell out of the sky and he got away.” I looked at Raven. We had all found out that Barelei’s powers were like Raven’s but Raven could do nothing like that.
Robin and Cyborg had arrived. Sparrow was healed and resting at the tower.
“Dude you’re a mess.” Cyborg exclaimed. “What happened?” Raven told the story while Robin and I examined the damage done to Beast Boy.
“You’re burned.” Robin said. “How did that happen?”
“Whatever it was that Barelei hit me with is what caused it.” Beast Boy told him.
“Raven can you heal him enough so he can walk?” Robin asked.
“Probably not but I’ll try.” Raven’s hands glowed black for the second injury healing cause in two days. We all watched as minor cuts and burns healed on Beast Boy’s skin. Now he didn’t look as bad as before.
“Can you get up?” Cyborg asked. Beast Boy tried but fell back down in pain.
“Starfire will you carry him back to the tower?” Robin asked me. I nodded and picked Beast Boy up. I was careful not to touch any of his many burns and scratches.
“Thanks Star.” He whispered. I smiled down at him and said:
“I welcome you, how else would you get back home?” Beast Boy gave a small laugh as we flew towards the tower. I realized that our other friends were not far behind us.
I stopped inside the living room to wait for Raven, Cyborg and Robin. We all made our way to the medical room and to see how Sparrow was doing. The door opened to revel that Sparrow’s bed was empty.
“Sparrow.” Raven whispered in concern.
Raven feels everyone should be happy! but i guess you're not 'cause of my cliffhanger. oh well you'll get over it. :D double post might burn a little, sorry!!

[looks at watch, starts tapping foot impatiently]
You're late, missy! I for one am very dissapointed!
Being a general newbie when it comes to Titans, anything concerning characters' backgrounds is always welcome, and, right now, anything about Raven's past will suit my own story quite well indeed. Anyway, enough about me, let's talk a little about you...
...well, where do I start? You've got a great new character in the works here, and his power could be the source of muchos drama and amusement. The plot that seems to be devolping sounds smashing too - the whole Sparrow/Raven/Barelei/Slade quadrangle is just gonna be great. And what's with Barelei being Slade's son?! No, I'm not having a go - that's genuinely one of the best ideas I've come across in a long time.
Actually, there is one small criticism: will you please stop with the cliffhangers?! My mind can't take that much excitement!

11-27-2004, 07:17 PM
this part has some important parts in it so read carefully...
As told by Raven… (Just like I promised)
My heart felt like it was beating in my throat. I couldn’t make my breathing slow down, and I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from crying. He was gone, the only person who really understood me, gone. I knew something like this would happen. It had happened with Malchior. I cried slightly; even though I still broke a light bulb.
“We have to find him!” I said in a slightly squeaky voice. Everyone nodded. They knew how close I was to Sparrow. I didn’t let them know that, it was just hard not to know.
“Cyborg can you get a fix on his signal?”
“No what do you think? He’s been kidnapped the person who kidnapped him wouldn’t be that stupid!”
“Well you never know! If they didn’t know about his communicator he might have still had it!” Cyborg and Robin were right in each other’s faces.
“Please stop!!!! We are all unhappy about Sparrow’s capture but we will have to stop fighting to save him!!!!” Starfire said.
“Star’s right! Cut it out you two!” Beast Boy said. I started crying more heavily, that made the room flood in darkness.
Everyone looked at me.
“Rae don’t cry…” Beast Boy tried to comfort me. I got a hold of myself but I still threw my arms around Beast Boy. I was so upset that I would have done this to any of the Titans; Beast Boy just happened to be the closest. He patted my back.
“Come on… let’s get going.” Robin said gently. Cyborg and Starfire stayed at the tower in case Sparrow came back and to look for clues. Beast Boy, Robin, and I went to search for Sparrow. We had a pretty good idea who kidnapped him.
I was quiet all the way to Slade’s hideout. I was thinking about Sparrow. I thought about the time we met, and the time he taught me how to levitate properly. And many other times too. We approached Slade’s hideout and were amazed at what we saw…
There was red and yellow light coming from the inside of Slade’s lair; red belonging to Barelei, and yellow belonging to Slade. We couldn’t tell what was going on from outside so we ran inside. We stared aghast at what was going on. Barelei was firing his powers at Slade! Slade was fighting back as best he could but Barelei was so fast that Slade kept getting hit.
Sparrow was huddled in a corner weak and shivering. But he was still managing to control Barelei.
“Sparrow what happened?” I asked running over to him.
“B, B, Barelei kidnapped me and t, t, took me here. He and S, S, Slade beat me up pretty b, b, bad before I used my, my powers. Get, get me out of here!”
“Control Barelei until we get out of here, can you control from a distance?” Robin said hurriedly.
“Not in t, t, this condition.” Sparrow said.
“Can you control him until we get out and to the T-car?” Beast Boy asked.
“Probably.” He said. I conjured a stretcher out of thin air. We put Sparrow on it and I made it float towards the exit.
After we left the hide away we heard Barelei regaining control of his body. He didn’t bother perusing us but as we drove away he yelled:
“This isn’t over! Not by a long shot!”
As told by Sparrow…
I knew that it wasn’t over; I didn’t need Barelei telling me that. Raven and Robin sat me in the back seat; I leaned on Raven’s shoulder to keep up. We drove along and Raven looked thoughtful.
“What’s up?” I asked.
“I was just wondering what reason Barelei and Slade would have for kidnapping you.” Raven said.
“Barelei has a really big grudge against me. I defeated him on Azarath and now he’s gotten stronger. He wants to prove that he is now stronger than me. I think he thinks the only way to do that is to… kill me.” I gulped. I had known that for a long time but telling someone made the thought scarier. Raven stared at me and Robin looked at me through the rear-view mirror.
When we got back to the tower Raven and I went to the med room. Raven fixed me up the best she could and most of the pain was gone. We sat in silence for at least ten minutes. Then I broke it.
“I don’t know if I can do it Raven.”
“Do what?” she asked.
“Fight this never-ending battle with Barelei.”
“Sparrow you can do anything you want as long as you put your heart to it. I had to find that out a long time ago when I first fought Trigon.” I looked down at my knees. If it wasn’t for Raven and Robin I might be dead now; I couldn’t have kept control for much longer in that state.
“Raven I think it’s time to tell you something I’ve needed to tell you for a long time. I think that I…”
“How are you doing?” Robin had entered the room.
“Better.” I said. I was disappointed, now the moment to tell Raven how I really felt was ruined. I knew it wasn’t Robin’s fault; he had no idea what I was going to tell Raven. Robin noticed this was kina a private moment so he left.
“What were you going to say?” Raven asked.
“It doesn’t matter...” I sighed. I couldn’t know when the next moment that I could tell Raven would be but I knew I had to tell her one day. Hopefully one day soon.
i tried to write this gently but i am not the best at emotional scenes. :shrug:

Aquagirl15
11-28-2004, 09:46 PM
this was intersting to write so i hope it's intersting to read. here you go!!:anime:
As told by Sparrow… (In case you forgot.)
Raven and I sat quiet again. It was hard to think of something to say right now. I was sweating from gathering up the courage to tell Raven and then the moment being ruined. Like how most people sweat when they’re about to do something difficult. I took off my cloak and sat it on the bed next to me and Raven. It was dark and Raven had her hood up so I couldn’t tell if she was figuring out what I almost told her or not.
I hoped not and so. It would mean a lot more if I was the one to tell her and she had no idea, but if she figured it out on her own I wouldn’t have to tell her. I was confused and full of emotions. I had never felt about any other girl the way I felt about Raven. It was very hard to go to the junior prom with someone when she the only girl I ever thought about. Sure the girl I went with was nice but she… wasn’t Raven.
I needed some advice. Whether or not Robin would give it to me was another story. I had been told and found out that Robin and Starfire had been dating for a while now. I found out because I saw Beast Boy spying on them one day. I knew that they had to be doing something private if Beast Boy wanted to watch. If anyone could help me with my feelings it would be Robin.
The next day I was sore but not as shaken up. I woke relatively early and smelt bacon and eggs even though I was on the fifth floor. I was starving; I hadn’t had any food since lunch two days ago. I found my way downstairs without getting lost. This was good since I had only been shown out of the med room once. I was getting better at finding my way around for only being there three weeks. Was it that short of time? Yes it was three weeks ago when I first entered Titan’s tower.
Cyborg was in the kitchen and so was Beast Boy. I saw that they had already had their traditional fight over breakfast. I was glad; I didn’t want to put up with the yelling when my head was so sore. That’s a side affect of my powers. They make my head hurt if I use them for a long time. I guess everyone has side affects to their powers. I sat down waiting for breakfast to be served.
“You’re actually gonna eat real food instead of drinking that tea?” Beast Boy asked me. My stomach growled really loud. I smirked at him.
“Right you haven’t eaten in a while…” Beat Boy nodded. I was getting impatient the smells of the food were making my mouth water and my stomach growl louder.
“OK y’all breakfast is served!” Cyborg yelled as he piled all the food on the table. I didn’t wait for everyone else to sit down. OK so it’s rude but I was like starving! No one seemed to care though. I ate until I couldn’t eat any more. I probably ate most of the food but everyone understood.
Now was the time to get a chat section with Robin.
“Uh Robin, got a sec.?” I asked.
“Yeah sure.” He replied. I led the way to the stairs. “We can talk in my room.” Robin told me. I nodded; the hall wasn’t the most private place to talk. We climbed the stairs and went into Robin’s room. He faced me and nodded for me to start.
“Um OK this is a little weird but I need to talk to you about Raven.”
“Is there something wrong with her?” he asked like a good concerned leader.
“No, no. Well you see I have had this crush on her ever since I was about nine and well I really don’t know what to do now that I tried telling her I like her.”
“Tried?” Robin asked confused.
“Yeah you kina walked in on us when I was about to tell her.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“No it’s OK but I just thought you could give me some advice.”
“You mean since Starfire and everything.”
“Right, can you help me?”
“Well I can tell you what happened with me and Starfire if that will help. See we both knew what was going on and well it didn’t take much after that…” I could tell Robin felt weird, I did too. This wasn’t your every-day topic. “It’s probably gonna be harder with Raven because when you tell her you won’t know if she likes you back. I really don’t know what you should do from this point. I think you should wait until the right moment, tell her, and then see what happens.”
“That’s better than what I was thinking.” I said. “Thanks.” I had a different idea how I was gonna get to Raven though. I turned to leave.
“If you want to talk again I might be able to help…” Robin trailed off.
“OK, I’ll remember that.” I said smiling. I left. I went to my room to think about how I should talk to Raven.
I was so busy thinking I almost ran into Cyborg coming from his room.
“Whoa sorry!” I said as I passed him.
“No sweat dude.” He looked at me. “Are you OK?” he asked.
“I’m just thinking…” I walked on. Cyborg watched me leave with a puzzled look on his face.
I went to my room and in a matter of minutes Beast Boy knocked on my door.
“Come in.” I said.
“Want to come play stank-ball with us?” he asked.
“Number one what is stank-ball and number two I’m busy.” I said.
“You don’t look busy.” Beast Boy taunted. I sighed. I just wasn’t in the mood for Beast Boy’s comical stand-up act. I made him leave the room and he didn’t come back. After about an hour of thinking I finally figured out where I was going to take Raven to talk to her.
I went to Raven’s room and knocked. Half of her head appeared in the doorway. When she saw it was me the door opened all the way.
“Hi.” She said.
“Raven I want you to come with me.” I said.
“Where...”
“It’s a special place I really liked when I saw it; you know when I first came here.”
“OK….” Raven said as she followed me. I first went to my room to get my flying scooter I got from my parents as a birthday present.
“Hop on.” I told her. There was just enough room for two people on it. She got on and we flew out my open window. I flew it to a rocky shore that I had thought was very pretty when I saw it my first night here. I landed the scooter and we got off. I climbed a rock at sat down. Raven sat next to me. We looked at the waves rolling up on to the beach.
“I feel like the waves.” I said. “I come from a distance and land in the perfect spot; with you and the Titans. Raven smiled a little. She had her hood down and I could see her pretty face. I didn’t know what she was thinking; if I had it would have made things a lot easier.
What do I do next? Tell her how you feel idiot! It’s not that easy! I don’t know…
OK I rarely have arguments with myself so this was a big deal. I was stuck.
“Do you regret coming here?” Raven asked.
“No why?”
“If you hadn’t come Barelei wouldn’t have caused this pain to you.”
“I’ve seen worse.” Raven nodded. She didn’t know that when I was fighting Barelei he almost killed me but she still understood. I slightly moved closer to Raven. She noticed but didn’t care. I looked back out at the water. The sun made it sparkle and it made me feel content. I was with Raven, I was happy. Nothing could make me upset.
Raven was looking at me. I smiled at her. She really did smile back at me. That was all it took. I didn’t feel embarrassed or scared. I moved so close to Raven that our shoulders were touching. It seemed to happen in slow motion. Raven looked at me, I looked at her. I leaned forward and our lips gently touched. I sat there letting it all sink in when Raven and I were flung into the water below us.
Raven gave me an embarrassed smile and I knew it was her powers that did it. I grinned back. Now we were all wet but we didn’t care. I walked back on to the shore, Raven behind me. No words could have been used right then. It was so full of meaning and emotions that words weren’t need. I had just do what I was so scared to do all my life. I had told Raven I loved her. That was all I could do. I wondered if it was good enough...

after that last chapter, I've decided to go back and read the whole damn thing!
(Thats a huge compliment coming from me.)
Very nice.
However, it would have been better if the last line
That was the best I could do. Was it good enough?
Was part of the fic.That way, Sparrow would be like thinking in his head and involving the audience, forcing them to make their own decisions. Definately make that the last line in the chap. It would improve the ending ten-fold.

As told by Raven…
We hurried to get back to the tower and into some dry clothes before anyone saw us. I didn’t think it would be too pleasant if Beast Boy found out that we had been gone, for probably an hour and a half, and that we had been together. It would be easy for me to play it cool, but Sparrow was a little jumpy. I think it had something to do with finally kissing the girl that he loved. To me love is a very strong word. I don’t know if my feelings towards Sparrow are what you’d call love or not.
Sparrow came back to my room after putting up his scooter. We walked down to the main room together and we’re greeted by Beast Boy who had noticed we were gone.
“Where were you guys?” Robin asked before Beast Boy had a chance to taunt us.
“I was meditating and Sparrow was…”
“Checking out the weight room; I wanted to see what we’d be doing in practice.” Sparrow interrupted. I was glad he thought of something ‘cause at that moment my brain had froze. I’m not the best at coming up with believable lies.
Sparrow sat down on the couch next to Cyborg who looked at him funny. I had no idea why. I hoped that he liked Sparrow because I was in no spot to have one of my friends hate… well I don’t know what Sparrow is to me now. He’s not my friend anymore he’s more than that; and he’s not my boy friend. This is no where near what Star and Robin have so what is it?
I sat down and grabbed my book off the coffee table. I wanted everyone to think that our story was true so I did something not out of the ordinary. I couldn’t focus on the book though. Could you if you had just gotten kissed by someone you really cared about? I sighed. It was harder to play it cool than I thought it would be.
Sparrow was doing much better than it thought it would be. He wasn’t as jumpy as he was earlier.
“Sparrow you want to try and improve your skills on ‘Race 3000’?” Cyborg asked.
“Sure I want to be able to at least beat Beast Boy.” Sparrow replied. Beast Boy stared and didn’t join in with everyone in laughing. And of course I didn’t laugh either.
As Sparrow and Cyborg loaded up the Gamestation I let my mind wander. It wandered to Sparrow like you could have guessed. I thought about special times we had, had together. I didn’t realize it when I was so young but that feeling of Sparrow being more that just my friend was there all along. For me and him too…
As told by Sparrow…
You can tell I didn’t really want to be playing the Gamesation or be downstairs with everybody else. No. what I really wanted to do was be alone with Raven again. But that was out of the question as everyone was getting so suspicious that Raven and I were more than just friends. I also wanted to talk to Cyborg. He seemed to be figuring out what was going on with Raven and me so I needed to know how much he knew. Until then I couldn’t be sure if we could be alone again.
Just as Cyborg and I were finishing our second lap, the alarm went off. Robin checked who it was, and just as I had guessed it was Barelei and maybe Slade.
“Come on!” I said before anyone else could do anything. We went down to the main traffic light where Barelei was making the lights change colors randomly and quickly to cause accidents.
“Hello Sparrow and the pathetic excuse for a heroic team; happy to see me?” Barelei asked with sneer that I was ready to wipe off his face. We didn’t answer; we attacked instead. I jumped up and tried to kick Barelei in the head. He dodged and I landed behind him. This was an advantage for me. I punched him in the back of the head while he was trying to stop some trash cans that Raven had thrown at him.
Barelei whipped around blood running down his lip that he had bit when I punched him. He kicked me in the ribs. I fell but I tripped him once I regained balance. Barelei fell down to my level and we rolled around trying to get on top of each other. I pinned him to the ground. He smiled in a way that told me I was I was in for it.
“Beast Boy NOW!” I heard Robin scream. Beast Boy came running towards me and Barelei. I realized what he was going to do and jumped off him. Beast Boy charged as a bull at Barelei and he was sent flying into a brick wall. Barelei looked dazed but was still conscious. He slowly stood up and Cyborg shot a sonic cannon blast at him. It hit him right in the chest.
I was breathing deeply trying to keep from beating the living crap out of Barelei. I was so mad at him for trying to ruin my life. He had threaten to kill my family, kidnapped me and my little sister (at different times though), and now he was trying to stop me from having friends. I got close to him and then he sprang up. Barelei tripped me and ran towards Raven.
Raven she was ready it fight him but not ready for what he did. Barelei got behind Raven and a red force field surrounded them. The field got smaller and smaller and so did Raven and Barelei. Soon they disappeared.
“That's how Barelei transports himself! And he took Raven with him!!!” I yelled. This was too much for me to handle. I sank to my knees and shook. It had started to rain; it pounded my back and it made me feel even worse. I tried not to but I cried. He had taken the only person I cared about most. Who knows what he was going to do to her?
MUWHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!:evil: The return of the cliffhanger! You guys didn’t think they were gone for good did ya? If you did you were entirely wrong! :D MUHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! *coughs and begins to choke* I’m ok I’m oooooookay!

As told by Raven…
I was trapped; I couldn’t use my powers to keep him from taking me with him. Barelei took me directly to Slade’s, and apparently now, his lair too. When we got there Slade wasn’t anywhere to be seen. I was totally alone with Barelei. Not that I cared; Slade was much worse than Barelei. And both of them together… well you remember how Sparrow was.
Sparrow… Barelei had kidnapped me because he knew that Sparrow cared a lot about me. I was Sparrow’s weakness. After I had analyzed the situation I noticed that Barelei was staring at me. I glared at him warning him to stay away. He chuckled and gave me a grin.
“Well Sparrow was right about one thing: you are cute.” He said to me.
“Coming from you that’s an insult.” I snapped back.
“Hey don’t blame me for this I was just following orders.”
“Yeah right.” I said as I rolled my eyes. Barelei sustained his smirk. He threw me an apple and a can of soda.
“I wasn’t supposed to give this to you until tomorrow, but what my father doesn’t know won’t hurt him.”
“I don’t need your charity.” I whispered bitterly, shoving the food back at him. Wait did he just say he was Slade’s son?! Barelei shrugged and took a bite of the apple. Well, now I knew that it wasn’t poisoned. I sat with my legs crossed on an upturned crate. I was getting tired of his self superior attitude already.
I had just perfected my portals and I was so ready to use one to get out of here. While Barelei wasn’t looking I conjured one and stepped through it. I was relieved that it had worked at first. But then I stepped out to what was supposed to be the other side of my portal. I was astonished to see that I was in Slade’s lair, just in a different spot.
“I thought you would have known that anything you tried would fail. I can do anything and everything you can… so it appears that nothing you attempt to do will work.”
“Oh yeah?” I asked. And I kicked Barelei in the head.
“You’re going to wish you hadn’t done that…” he said in a sinister voice. It sounded so much like Slade’s I backed away a little bit. Barelei pulled out a round button-like thing, like the one Killer Moth gave to Kitten when he tried to take over the town, and pushed it.
In an instant I felt a shocking all through my body. I fell to the ground with pain.
“Ahhhhhhh. Ah.” I groaned. Barelei let his thumb off the button.
“Now you understand why you will regret anything you do to hurt me.” He said. The ever-lasting sneer was in place on Barelei’s face as if it had been glued there. I tipped over and lay motionless on the floor.
As told by Cyborg…
Raven had been missing for over three hours and with no indication of where she was. We were all worried; especially Sparrow. I thought that he and Raven were together when they told us those lies about the training room and meditation. Now I felt really bad for him. This was kina like Robin when Starfire got hurt or something but not as extreme. We had tried and tried to find Raven and even looked on other planets and on Azarath! There was nothing else to do.
I went to see if I could make Sparrow feel better. I knocked on his bed room door. There was no answer. I banged again and called:
“Sparrow, can I come in?” Still no respond. I inched the door open and saw that Sparrow wasn’t in his room. Instead I saw a note on the bed.
Who ever finds this going to be the first to read some saddening news. I trust you will tell the others about this note and my departure. Let’s cut to the chase. I left to go find Raven. I’m pretty sure she’s back at Slade’s hide out. I might not come back; maybe because I will be killed, and maybe because I’m so ashamed of myself for not being able to save Raven. Don’t follow! I know how you guys are and this is a fight I must win by myself. This is my entire fault and it is my duty to stop Barelei. I have to save Raven and cannot stand the idea of her being alone with him. I have to admit I love her and that is why my desire to save her is so strong.
-Sparrow
P.S. Remember don’t follow me!!!
I couldn’t believe what I had read. Sparrow was risking his life to save Raven. He must be in love with her. I knew that BB would do that for Terra and Robin would defiantly to that for Star. But I knew one thing: we were going to follow him no matter what he said. I ran downstairs to show the others.
“Guys I found something really important!” I yelled when I got to the living room.
“You have to come see this note Sparrow left.” Robin and Starfire hurried over but Beast Boy sat, still playing the Gamestation.
“Uh dude Sparrow, note, Raven!” I shouted. Beast Boy didn’t stop playing. I had, had enough. I snatched the controller out of Beast Boy’s hands. He stared up at me.
“Dude I was playing that!” he shouted.
“Sparrow is in trouble. He went to save Raven and he said he might not come back. You know why? Barelei wants to kill Sparrow and he might be killed when he’s trying to save Raven.” I told him. It didn’t seem like Beast Boy was listening to me. Then it all clicked. Beast Boy doesn’t like Sparrow because he likes Raven too. Terra’s long absence must have made him feel like he needed to move on.
“Come on let’s go. Beast Boy I won’t make you go but your help might save Sparrow’s life.” Robin said as we turned to go. Beast Boy stood up and slowly followed Starfire, who was the last one out the door, and came to help.
Before we could get to Slade’s hid out we were stopped by Red X. Who knew if he was there on Slade’s orders or if he just had bad timing? We didn’t care; we still had to bring him down. But we just noticed that someone had thrown X to the ground. It was Sparrow!
“Sparrow,” Starfire yelled. “You are unharmed!” Sparrow grunted as he struggled to hold Red X down.
“Yeah but I told you guys not to follow me!” he said.
“Are you crazy? We could never let you go alone.” I told him. X threw Sparrow off him.
“Can we discuss this later? I think we have a bigger problem right now.” Robin said as he pulled out his retractable staff. We all nodded and got into battle pose. Starfire flew up and her hands glowed green as she posed ready to hit Red X with all she had. But as this directed X’s attention to her Robin leapt forward and managed to hit him with his staff. X came back with a hard blow to Robin’s chest. I shot him with a scion blast from behind.
He groaned in pain but continued to fight off Robin. This gave Star time to talk to Sparrow.
“Friend while the Red X is busy with Robin and Cyborg allow us to do the sneaking to save Raven.” Sparrow nodded and they quietly left.
As told by Sparrow…
Starfire and I stepped around the battling pair. Robin of which we being pushed up against a wall and being choked at the same time, and Cyborg of which was trying to help Robin. Star and I flew to Slade’s lair. I was afraid to see what I would find in there. I thought about how my sister’s face had looked when she had been kidnapped. I knew Raven wasn’t scared but Zara was so relieved when I arrived to save her.
I stood at the entrance, not wanting to face Slade and Barelei again. I remembered how much pain I was in. And then I used my powers; I hardly ever use my powers. But this time I had Star and soon I would have Robin and Cyborg to help me. I took a deep breath as Star blasted the door open.
As told by Robin…
I was gasping for air as Red X held me to the wall and coked me. Then I grabbed one of his wrists and put my arm over his arms. I used my elbow to push his arm down, off balancing him. I turned X’s arm over and he was looking at the ground. I had my forearm digging into his nerve just above his elbow. I soon had him on the ground and X was in a lot of pain. You could see it in his face.
“Why are you working for Slade?” I asked, thinking that Slade had sent him to stop us from rescuing Raven.
“Red X works for no one.” X said and in an instant my hands were gripping thin air. He had used on of his disappearing tricks that I knew too well. I had made the suite after all.
“Come on we have to catch up with the others.” I said. Cyborg nodded and we ran to Slade’s lair.

BB's a little mean but that's what makes this part good. :shrug:
As told by Beast Boy…
I was ticked off at Sparrow, as you can tell, but I didn’t want him to die. I mean come on I’m not that ruthless! I ran after CY and Robin (we need to get this guy a nickname). We got to Slade’s hideaway and saw that Sparrow was in the middle of fighting with Barelei, Star helping him when she could. I don’t mean to be mean, ok I do… Sparrow was getting his butt kicked. I noticed Raven was huddled in a corner unconscious. I didn’t know what happened to her but I knew it was Barelei’s fault.
I ran over to her a tried to wake her up.
“Raven, Raven.” I whispered shaking her gently. She didn’t open her eyes. I shook her this time a little rougher and her eyelids flickered.
“Sparrow?” she whispered not opening her eyes.
“No it’s Beast Boy. We’re goanna get you out of here.”
“Where’s Sparrow?” she asked. I rolled my eyes.
“He’s being the hero and fighting Barelei. He’s fine just a little shook up.” Raven looked at Sparrow who had just gotten thrown down again. He outfit was torn in the sleeves and part of the chest.
“You call that shook up?” Raven asked getting up out if my arms. I felt bad now. I could tell that Raven really liked Sparrow and that she didn’t like me being mean to him. Raven ran to help Sparrow; she dragged him to a corner and healed some of his wounds. He looked like wasn’t in as much pain as before he was healed. Raven hugged Sparrow. His face got much happier looking and he said something I couldn’t understand.
Raven said something back and then I felt like I was goanna explode. Sparrow kissed Raven and she turned bright red. Raven’s powers made a box fly up and hit the ceiling. My head felt like it was being crushed. I couldn’t think straight. It had taken me a long time to figure out that I didn’t really love Terra, but to find it was Raven.
I jumped in to help Star, Robin, and Cyborg who were fighting Barelei. I wanted to take my mind off Raven and Sparrow. I turned into a gorilla and grabbed him. I was thrown away by his powers.
“I think he’s getting angry.” I said, because at that moment Barelei’s eyes were red. It looked like he was goanna do something with his powers that was really powerful. And he was looking right at me as his hands glowed.
Just when a beam of red light shot towards me Sparrow dived in fount of me. I fell out of the way of the attack and Sparrow got hit. I stood holding my mouth open. Sparrow was badly burnt and I could tell he was in pain.
“Sparrow what, what was that you kept from hitting me?” I couldn’t think of anything to say.
“It was Barelei’s… most powerful attack. It can put you in rough shape if you’re not used to pain. Luckily I’ve been hit with it before. You don’t need to be in pain.”
“But you don’t either.” I said.
“It would be worse for you since you’ve never been hit by it.”
“Oh how sentimental but in any case, now that he’s hurt it should be my duty to put him out of his misery.” Barelei said behind us.
“I won’t let you.” I told Barelei. “Kill me instead.”
“BB…” Cyborg whispered.
“I know what I’m doing.” I whispered back.
“Well that would work if all I wanted to do was kill him for amusement… but I want to kill him for revenge!” Barelei told me. Then Barelei fell down on the ground having been shot by CY’s sonic cannon. I turned back into a gorilla and grabbed Barelei. He struggled for a while and then didn’t move.
“Has our opponent given up?” Starfire asked.
“Not a chance!” Barelei yelled and then I was thrown backwards into a brick wall, headfirst. I couldn’t remember anything else, as I fell unconscious.
As told by Robin…
Barelei blasted a wall with his powers and dust filled the room. We couldn’t see him but we heard him yell as he ran away:
“I will kill you; you can be sure about that. I’ll be back don’t worry…” And then he was gone. We didn’t even try chasing him; we knew he would get away. I went over to see how much damage Barelei had done to Sparrow. Starfier examined Beast Boy.
“Our friend seems to have a large bump on his head.” Starfire said.
“Don’t worry I’m fine.” Sparrow said as I looked him over.
“I’m no doctor but I can tell that you’re not fine.” I told him.
“And I won’t be able to heal you because his powers are just like mine and they won’t work.” Raven said.
“Guys I’ve been hit with this uh… five times and its ok. I’ll heal in a few days.” Well I wasn’t sure if I believed him but if he had really been hit with this five times he would know. We headed back home. Sparrow was draped between Starfire and Raven and they flew him back to the tower.

That chapter was cool. I was under the impression that Beast Boy and Raven hated each others guts, but at least the jealousy comes from an unexpected direction. Also good to see that you've finally stopped using cliff-hangers...
Oh yeah, welcome to the newbies! "Vanishing Act" and "A Girl Called Crow" are pretty damn superb, but Welshie would probably get suspicious if I started complimenting him...so I won't say any more. Anyway, welcome!

it's a little short but i think Writer's Block is starting to creep up on me.
As told by Raven…
I could tell after Beast Boy had found out Sparrow liked me he didn’t like Sparrow as much. It was because he was jealous of Sparrow. But when Sparrow saved Beast Boy from getting hit by that thing Barelei used I knew that Beast Boy thought about how he was treating him. Not like a good friend would.
I was still amazed that Beast Boy even liked me. We are as different as hot and cold. And didn’t he think I was way creepy? I know my mom would say something like ‘opposites attract’ if she was here. Well I don’t need to be thinking about her right now.
Starfire and I were in the medical room taking care of Sparrow and Beast Boy. Sparrow was asleep and Beast Boy wasn’t making much sense because he hit his head pretty hard. It temporarily damaged his brain. He should be better in a few days. He was in the corner bed mumbling to himself. At least he’s happy. I thought.
I wasn’t. I was very confused and scared. We still weren’t sure if Sparrow was telling the truth. I was scared Sparrow had made it seem like him being hurt was no big deal when it was. And I was scared that there might not be anything wrong with Beast Boy’s head.
Starfire was tickling Silky who she had brought with her so he wouldn’t get lonely. I was half-heartily reading a book. Not really concentrating on it. Robin walked in quietly.
“How are they doing?” he asked.
“About the same.” I said. Robin nodded and listened to Beast Boy mumbling. It sounded something like this:
“Maybe I wanna, NO!! Candy? Hi Bob!” Sparrow rolled over on to one of his burns and yelped in his sleep. I walked over and turned him back on an uninjured side of his body. He was warm and that was a good thing. For about three hours he was as cold as ice.
“We still need to see how much total damage has been done to Sparrow.” Robin said. We hadn’t checked Sparrow’s chest for injuries. We knew they were there just not many or how sever they were. I nodded. It was important that we used medication for all his injuries. Robin left telling me to check Sparrow when he woke up.
As told by Cyborg…
I thought that Sparrow was really hurt but he didn’t want us to worry. What he did for BB was pretty heroic and I was sure BB wasn’t going to be bitter towards Sparrow like he had been lately. I was happy that we wouldn’t have to worry about Barelei as much. It seemed like he was going to take a break from tormenting Sparrow.
I wanted to find out what was going on with Sparrow and BB. I walked from my room to the med room and knocked on the door.
“You know you didn’t have to knock.” Raven said as she opened the door. I stepped in and said:
“I know but I just didn’t want to barge in unannounced.” I looked at Sparrow and saw that his whole left arm was covered in bandages. Sparrow stirred, it looked like he was going to wake up soon.
Raven sighed. She was under stress and trying to keep her powers under control at the same time. I tried to comfort her.
“Raven don’t worry he’ll be ok.”
“I know it’s just I don’t want to wait. I want him to be better and, and things to go back to normal.” I’m not sure if I really saw it but I think I saw a tear run down Raven’s face.

12-05-2004, 09:21 PM
this is the end of my fic. sorry if it was a little too short but if i take the idea at the end of this fic and contiune it this will be the longest fic ever! you'll understand when you read it.
As told by Sparrow…
I heard Raven and Cyborg talking and opened my eyes. They didn’t notice that I was awake.
“We still need to find out how sever the burns on his chest are.” I heard Raven say. They haven’t checked me all the way over. I thought. I wanted to go back to sleep so they wouldn’t have to worry. My chest was the most severely burnt place on my body and I knew that very well. I didn’t want them to worry about me. I was always in pain whether it be emotional or physical or both.
Cyborg glanced over at me and saw that my eyes were opened. I nodded at him and him at me. Raven too looked over to my bed.
“How are you feeling?” Raven said in her monotone voice. Even though it sounded like it had no feeling, I knew it did. I knew who Raven was under her unfeeling. She would be devastated if something ever happen to me. How could she not after all that time we shared? After, after our first kiss?
I sat up with much difficulty thanks to my burns and a series of other injuries. I grimaced and Raven hurried over to me. She looked at me with concern.
“It’s ok. I just need to get some medicine on the rest of my burns.”
“Here Robin wanted me to have you put this on them.” Raven said handing me a tube of medication.
“Right…” I said.
“He doesn’t believe that you’re not very injured. He wants me to tell him how bad it really is. He thinks you’re making a small deal out of a big deal.” Raven blushed. I shrugged.
We went behind a screen and Raven examined my burns. Her eyes got very round.
“You call that no a big deal? That is really bad. It will take like five months for this to heal.”
“I didn’t want you to worry. To tell the truth it’s never been this bad before. He’s gotten stronger. A lot stronger.” I said in a depressed voice. I knew that when Barelei resurfaced he would be a lot harder to beat. He would work and work until he was as strong as he thought he could be. Then he would try to kill me again.
Raven let me put the medication on by myself and went to tell Robin it was a lot worse than we thought. I had just noticed that Starfire was in the room. She saw my burns and she clapped her hand to her mouth.
“Friend you are extremely damaged. Allow me to put bandages on the rest of your body.” She said.
“Thanks Star.” I said smiling at her. Starfire covered my chest with bandages so it looked like it was a shirt.
I went back behind the screen get a shirt. Since mine was totally ripped to shreds I needed something else to wear. I knew that when Raven and Robin approved I would be able to wear my regular outfit but until then I would have to wear a loose shirt.
Raven came back into the room. I smiled at her.
“Starfire put bandages on the rest of my burns.” I told her. She nodded. Raven sat down next to me on my bed.
“You know it wasn’t your fault.” I told her. All this time Raven had been acting like she was responsible for me getting hurt.
“I know I just…” Raven sighed. I understood. I would feel the same way if Raven got hurt. I put my arm around her; she smiled up at me.
“I will allow you to be alone.” Starfire said.
“Thanks Star, I think we need some time alone.” I said.
Starfire left and all that could be heard was Beast Boy’s confused mumbling. Raven rested her head on my shoulder. It felt good to finally have her close to me again. I wanted to stay there forever. But most unluckily, at that moment, Beast Boy could think strait again.
“Raven, Sparrow?” he said still slightly confused. Raven scooted way over to the end of the bed. She turned bright red again and a light burnt out.
I stared at Beast Boy.
“Raven I need to talk to Beast Boy for a minute.” I told her. Raven ran out of the room. Apparently she didn’t want anyone to see that our relationship was more than just holding hands or hugging at night.
“Sparrow I understand its ok.” Beast Boy said.
“No I want you to understand better; from my point of view.”
“Ok then go ahead.”
“Raven and I have known each other since we were three. You already know that. But you see Raven doesn’t think you understand her. Well that is probably right as you don’t know about her past or what she has to go through every time Trigone gets into her head. But since I’ve known her so long she thinks I know her better. And maybe I do.” Beast Boy nodded.
“I understand better now. I just… I really… I can’t explain why I like her.”
“I know what you mean. Love is a funny thing really.” And now I could see that Beast Boy didn’t care that Raven liked me better, all he cared about was that we stayed on good terms. He wanted us to be friends.
The next few days just blazed by. We didn’t have any trouble with Slade or Barelei or any villains at all. Everyone was happy. Beast Boy had made a full recovery. Raven said it was because he had such a thick skull that nothing could penetrate it. As for me, well I couldn’t be happier. My life was complete again and I had friends. Nothing was better than having friends again.
Three days after our big fight with Barelei Robin came up to my room and insisted that I come down to the living room right away. I was very confused. When I entered the room I saw everybody there with big grins on their faces.
“Is this some kind of joke?” I asked.
“Sparrow we didn’t have to think very long before we decided that you have to be part of our team; do you want to be a Teen Titan?” Robin asked me holding out a black and yellow communicator. My mouth fell open.
“I, I, I…” I couldn’t speak. “Of course I do!” Everyone cheered. Starfire hugged me tight and I screamed in pain.
“I’m very sorry!” she said.
“That’s ok.” I said rubbing my arm. Nothing could make me unhappy now. Raven looked very timid as she walked up to me. She threw her arms around me and kissed my cheek. The sofa flew up in the air. But before it could hit anyone Starfire flew up and set it back down.
This was the happiest day of my life. I cried I was so happy. I couldn’t believe it. I was a Teen Titan. I was part of them and they were a part of me. I could never leave them. Or so I thought.
A week later I received a letter from my mom. It wasn’t good news.
Dear Sparrow,
How are you? We are not in a very good spot I am sorry to say. Trigone the dreaded demon has invaded Azarath again so we need your help. Raven needs to come too. Trigone is her father and she will know how to defeat him. I am sorry to be the one to tell you this but someone had to tell you. Please get here as soon as you can and bring Raven too. We need all the help we can get and her help is being demanded by all of Azarath. She banned him once and with your help she can do it again. Maybe destroy him for good.
All the best wishes,
Mom
PS: Zara told me to tell you hi.
I rushed to Raven’s room knocked and didn’t wait for her to open the door.
“Sparrow what’s wrong?” Raven asked as I came barreling into the room.
“Read… this… note.” I gasped. Raven took the letter from me and the said with concern in her voice.
“We have to stop him.”
“I know.”
Raven and I said hurried goodbyes and promised we’d come back as soon as we could. We flew away with cries of:
“Goodbye, we’ll miss, you good luck!” and other things. Starfire had tears in her eyes, Robin was very upset, and Cyborg didn’t know what he should do. They would miss us but we would come back one day. Raven and I flew off holding each other and crying ourselves. The battle had begun.
THE END?
No, this isn’t really the end because there’s going to be a sequel but it is for now. I hope you guys liked it. Was it a little too short?
Raven37
12-05-2004, 09:36 PM
That was very good! A little short, but good! I can't wait for the sequel. Now, if you were just gonna end it like this without a sequel, I'd be on your case sooooooooooo badly.;) Consider your self lucky. Start the sequel soon, or I will send Bologna Man for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!:evil:

In this case, like is too small a word.
I see what you mean about the story being able to continue forever. The loose ends concerning Sparrow/Raven/Beast Boy were wrapped up nicely there, so I think that ending the fic now is a good idea. Besides, the contuing story sounds like too much of a separate thing for it to work here.
So, have the fight against Trigon as a sequel. Perhaps bringing Barelei back would be a good idea, but that's a decision that needs to be left to you.
Whatever happens next, I wish you the best of luck. Well done for a superb story!

thank you very much everyone. :anime: i know this was short compared to a lot of the fics here but i promise that the sequal will be longer. and i am bring back Barelei for those who want him back. ;) the fight with Trigon will not be the main basis for the story though. Sparrow and Raven are going back to the Titans and Barelei will cause as much trouble as before. maybe even more. :evil: you'll just have to wait and find out.

Let us see the poems. If they are to be dark, I will have to read them. I need to see if someone can write darker poems than me!!! I wrote poems too. I started them on a separate fanfic though.
Aquagirl15
12-07-2004, 09:33 PM
you've already seen them Nevermore. i PMed them to you to see if they were any good. :shrug: i'll post them right now if you insist. i did this from insperation from The Chonicals Of Life And Death by Good Charlote. and i thought The Chonicals Of Light And Dark so here you go!!!
Dark
Have you ever been thrown into the darkness?
With no one to hold you when you were scared?
Is your life a giant mess?
Have you ever felt like no one cared?
And you cry out at night,
All alone in your bed,
But the morning's first light,
Is just another thing to dread.
You live life as a shadow,
No one ever comes near you,
Life is very low.
So wht is there to do?
Hide in the darkness, it is your only friend.
this had insperation from CJ's fic and Nevermore's.
Light
Life hands you everything you want,
You never had to suffer,
But it's time for you to be taught,
One day your life could be tougher.
Don't get used to this,
Happiness doesn't last forever
It is one thing you will miss,
As you fall into Never Never.
Light is supposed to be happy,
But life will always be dark,
So you must see,
Sadness will always leave it's mark.
Don't search for the light, get used to the dark.
they sucked i know. but you read them anyway. tell me what you think (even though i know they suck.)

12-08-2004, 08:35 AM
Ok. I see. But there's some advice I must give you *Jessie braces for impact* Oh, don't worry! It's not that bad.:rolleyes: I just think you make sure you're totally committed to you fan fic before you start writing your poems (unless you think your poems are more important...) Maybe post a chapter then, maybe write a little poem!:anime: Otherwise, great job!:D
