"Beastboy,
you better be awake! Hurry up, man, we got to be at the air port in
thirty minutes if we wanna catch our flight! We will leave you, man!"
Cyborg yelled towards Beastboy's room. The green seventeen year-old
rolled out of lazily bed, awoken from his slumber. He open his eyes
and realization hit.
"Shit," he cursed at the time.
Putting on a white shirt he found on the floor, he picked up his
black duffle bag and walked out his room. In a rush, he transformed
into a cheetah to quickly get to the common room. He soon entered an
empty common room. He morphed back into his true human form. Beastboy
looked around the room, not a sound was heard nor a person in sight.
He sighed in defeat, dropped his bag and sat on the sofa.
"Yo, Beastboy! What are doing? We need to be heading out." Robin said to him from behind the sofa he was seating on. Hope and joy filled Beastboy's eyes when hearing the voice of his leader. Robin smiled at his friend before heading to the basement, followed by Beastboy, to get to the car.
"What
took you so long!" Cyborg yelled at the two, once they got to
the basement.
"Dude, chill. I'm sure we'll make our flight."
Beastboy said care freely as he entered the car.
"Here."
Cyborg tossed a silver ring to him.
"What's this?" Gar
asked bewildered.
"It's a holographic ring, an invention of
mine. You and me will be wearing them to help keep our identities
secret. Put it on."
Gar placed the ring on his finger.
The
three droved to the airport and got on their airplane.
"How
far is Nervada, anyway?" Beastboy asked, putting his bag in his
seat's overhead compartment.
"It's an hour flight from
California." Robin answered, sitting in the seat behind him.
Cyborg sat in the seat next to Beastboy. Cyborg placed his headphones
over his ears as the plane took off.
"Remember guys, when we
land in Vegas that we take on new identities so that we can have a
real vacation." Cy said before pressing the play button on his
CD player. He moved around in his seat for a few minutes, trying to
get comfortable, and went to sleep soon after. Robin chatted with the
girl in the seat next to him, leaving Beastboy no one to talk to. He
stared out his little window, fluffy marsh mellows floated in the
heavenly sea. He took out a small notepad from his pocket and
scribbled some words down. He placed it back in his pocket and
continued his blank stare out the window.
After
an hour or so, the plane landed. The three males exited the plane and
entered the airport.
"You guys remember your new names?"
Robin questioned his two team mates, placing his bags on the rail to
be scan.
"Yeah, I'm Vic Logan." Beastboy said
confident.
"I'm Vic, your Garfield Logan." Cy
corrected, awaiting his bag to come through the scanner.
"Whatever."
Beastboy mumbled, picking up a black bag. He began to walk off with
his two companions, but stop when a girl cried out. He turned around
to see a frantic women fumbling through the many bags and suitcases.
He walked back to the station to help the lady.
"You lost
your bag?" He asked knowingly.
"Yes, and I need to find
it. My laptop is in it and my life is in my laptop." the girl
said, not looking at Beastboy.
"Well, what does it look
like?"
"It's black and has two R's on it in blue."
she said, getting frustrated as she searched through the many
bags.
"There's a black duffle bag, it looks familiar."
Realization hit and he looked at the bag he was holding, two R
initials in blue.
"Uh,
here. I must have taken your bag by mistake." He laughed
nervously, handing her the bag.
"Thanks." she said,
looking at him for the first time. Her skin was a bit pale and her
violet hair was pined up messily in a bun. Her mid-night blue eyes
looked like orbs as they hide behind a pair of glasses. She wore a
lavender shirt and blue jeans. She also wore a black choker necklace
that had a black charm in the shape of a bird.
"Hey, I'm Gar.
You wanna do something later?"
"You want a date with
me?" She asked in shocked of his interest in her.
"Yeah, something like that."
"Sorry, but I need to concentrate on my job. Bye." She grabbed her bag and ran off. As she ran, a dark aroa surrounded some of the lights before they brust.
Beastboy
walked outside the airport, not noticing the lights, where Robin and
Cyborg waited for him.
"Where were you?" Cy asked.
"Nowhere, lets just go to the hotel."
