"Cyborg, heads up!" Garfield Logan, aka, Beast Boy yelled at Victor Stone. The Cyborg spun around, narrowly catching a piece of flying debris that was about to hit him. He set it down to the side and then gave his green friend a thumbs up.
I sat on the rooftop, overlooking the fight. The enemy was an small army of 10 foot tall Crimson robots. All of my teammates were down there. Cyborg, Beast Boy, Robin, Raven, Zatanna, Donna Troy and the Green Arrow's sidekick, Speedy. All of the Teen Titans except for me.
It's not that I didn't want to hit someone, because I loved hitting people, but I knew better. I knew that in order to kill the snake, you had to cut off the head. I took it upon myself to find whoever or whatever was controlling these robots. I grabbed my signal tracker from my utility belt and plugged in one of the robot's radio emitter cards that I had taken. It took a few seconds, but finally my signal tracked pinpointed the origin of the command signal. An old warehouse, about 10 blocks away.
"Why is it always warehouses?" I muttered to myself. I readied my grapple gun and gave my team one last look. They could handle things here. Especially with Dick's 'impeccable leadership.' That kid was full of such bullshit. I aimed at the next rooftop over, then fired my gun.
It took me a few minutes to reach the warehouse. It was one of those with the large glass windows at the top, so that's where I would make my entrance. I smashed through them, then crashed into a bay of servers below.
"Who the hell are you?" A scientist yelled as he realized what had happened.
"The man who is cutting off the head of the snake." I answered menacingly. He bolted for the exit, but I pounced on him.
"You can't do this! I have rights!" He screamed as we both tumbled to the ground.
"Let me show you your goddam rights, Anthony Ivo!" I growled as I bashed him in the face. I don't really know how it happened, but I just kept hitting him. Donna eventually tackled me off.
"Danny, stop it, you'll kill him!" She cried out. I looked over at his body. He looked lifeless, but I could see he was still breathing. His blood was everywhere, his nose was busted in multiple places, and his teeth were scattered all over the ground where he was laying.
"What is wrong with you, Daniel Wilson? This is the second time you've hurt someone this bad." Donna said, clearly shocked at the violence I had committed.
"Have you ever known the Dayhound to be soft? Do you think I should tickle our enemies into giving up?" I yelled at her.
"Gods, you are impossible. We are supposed to be heroes, Wilson! Look at Ivo! Is that something a hero would do?" She argued, pointing at Ivo. I mumbled something about how it wasn't and that was it. We decided to head back to the Tower.
Titan Tower, aka, the Tower was a 15 story T-shaped building on an island off the coast of San Fransisco, where the Teen Titans were operating out of. The Top floor, the very top of the T, which was 13 rooms wide, consisted of 10 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1 common area. The common area had things like a large tv, a kitchen area, and dining area. The 14th floor was a computer bay with a couple of large super computers, and the 13th was a generator room. Floors 12-2 were specialized gyms for training, and the first floor was a fully stocked state of the art garage. All of our land vehicles were there. My car, Robin's bike, and a few others. Victor even had a car down there he was building. It didn't work yet, but Vic said it would eventually.
"Danny, can we talk about what happened out there? You nearly killed Ivo!" Donna said as we walked off the elevator into the common room.
"No." I grumbled as I started walking toward the north side of the T, where my room was. Dick cut me off and blocked the door to the north wing.
"What is this about you almost killing Ivo?" He said angrily.
"Nothing Dick. Outta my way!" I yelled louder than I should've. This got the attention of everyone else in the room: Victor, Garfield, and Roy. They stood up and started to walk towards me. I rolled my eyes, then quickly yanked Dick into my knee.
He grunted, then wrapped his arms around me. He picked me up, charged over to the dining table, then slammed me down on it. I kept my legs guarding him from escaping, but he started punching me. I pulled his head into a guillotine hold. I squeezed his neck until Beast Boy came over in gorilla form and separated us.
"You two need to calm the hell down!" Vic yelled at us as Beast Boy held us each by the back of our necks, "Look, Dan, did you kill Ivo?"
"No." I growled calmly.
"So I don't see what the trouble is. We got the bad guy, that's all that matters."
"Hey Vic, you might want to see this before you say everything's good." Roy Harper said, turning up the tv. They showed a picture of Ivo, his setup, and what was left of him. Victor's eyes widened and he looked at me in shock.
"You did that?" He asked in surprise, I nodded. "Danny, bro, we can't to that! We are supposed to be the good guys!"
"I am the good guy! I'm a damn good guy and it's gotten me no where!" I yelled, "Put me down, Gar, or I will mess you up!"
The green gorilla shrugged, then put Dick and me down. Dick shoved me, then went and sat on the couch.
Donna tried to tell me that she was sorry, but I ignored her. I walked broodingly to my room, and removed my costume.
