They're Coming To Take Me Away!
I do not own the Teen Titans- but I do own all things ASAP! This first chapter is going to be very crappy like all first chapters of any story. But this will get better I swear!
"Cinderblock, let's get it on!" Bumble Bee cried. Titans East fell in line behind her, Speedy with his arrows pointed, Aqualad acquipted with a water pipe ready to burst, and Mas e Menos as hyper as ever. "Titans… GO!"
The monster howled and raced forward. Bumble Bee shot him with her stringers, causing Cinderblocks right arm to crumble. Speedy shot him with 3 ice arrows and took him down instantly.
"I think this calls for pizza," Aqualad said proudly.
"Wait… where's Bee?" Speedy questioned.
The twins gasped.
"Our leader's missing," Aqualad whispered.
…
It was a slow moving day in Jump. Well as slow as it could be with Maniac around.
"So I was thinking that if I cut my toe nails 3 times a weeks they will be less infected then when I only do it 1 time a year. And if I paint them then the green fungi will be almost unnoticeable And-" she said excitedly.
"No body cares about your diseased foot!" Jason cried.
"My therapist does. Or at least she acts like it between going to the bathroom. She always seems to be sick you know."
"I wonder why?"
Maniac shot the toenail clippers around the room and magically clipped her toenails. Laughing psychotically Maniac rolled about, making the couch come to life and start to dance.
"Maniac stop- you know I hate it when you have your little episodes."
The alarm suddenly went off. Robin raced into the room and began typing on the keyboard.
Faces of several frantic teens appeared on the screen.
"Jinx is gone!" Kid Flash cried.
"Bumble Bee has been missing for days," Speedy said sadly.
"Pantha is nowhere to be found," Herald sighed.
The rest of the Titans boys called in reporting that their girl teammates were missing.
"Now that I think about it- Reese hasn't been around in a while. Not since she left for the grocery store yesterday," Gerard said, as if in thought.
"I'm right here numbskull," Reese remarked.
"That you are," Gerard said nodding.
"Focus people- our team is missing," Beastboy said angrily.
"But why only the girls?" Greg asked curiously.
"Yes. What of our girl friends?" Starfire said innocently.
"I don't know Starfire- but we are going to figure it out. Titans go!" Robin shouted.
"Duh- ASAP we're on the clock!" Maniac said dumbly. Running out of the room Maniac started yelling like an Indian.
"Remind me why she's the leader?" Jason asked.
"She's only one with a battle cry," Marik said sighing.
"She has every super power we have and maybe more, but doesn't have the brain power to use them," Reese retorted.
"She's a professional chef," Gerard said smiling wider.
"She has beef jerky!" Maniac hollered, flying back into the room with a stick of candy in her hand.
"Pay attention! This isn't the time to be goofing off. We need a plan now."
…
4 figures moved swiftly outside of the windows of Titans Tower. The strongest were here, for they were the originals. But what of this ASAP team. The figures scowled in unison. The boss had mentioned a second team. But he did say only kidnap the Titans girls. But this ASAP team seemed stronger than the Titans. Who could make a couch dance like that? Perhaps the boss would be pleased with this team along with the Teen Titans?
…
Maniac sat in the darkness of her room watching TV. Gerard had fallen asleep on the couch and hour before, leaving her all alone. Lighting a cigarette she leaned back and closed her eyes. A rhythmic beat played through out the room as the opening credits of the Late Night Show began to run.
Yawning slightly she sighed and put out her smoke. Wednesday. The one night a week she needed to sleep. Sighing again she turned off the TV and grabbed her MP3 player. It was impossible to go to sleep without noise she always said. Just like it was impossible to eat things out of bowls. That's why she always used a coffee mug. Jamming the little headphones into her ears, Maniac crawled into bed reluctantly and dozed off.
…
Raven stared up at the ceiling. It was a tragedy what was going on. People were gone. Her friends were gone. What had happened to them? A million questions ran through her mind. How could Maniac be so stupid at a time like this?
Argent, Pantha, Kole, Wonder Girl, Bumble Bee, Jinx- well Jinx wasn't really her friend but they got along.
Raven yawned, crossing her arms over her chest. She couldn't help but wonder- would she be next? Rolling over Raven pulled in a deep breath and closed her eyes. Pulling the covers up to her chin, she brought in the smell of Air freshener. Maniac had an addiction to air freshener. Just like she had an addiction to smoking, alcohol, paper shredders, and all things mint.
Pulling in another breath Raven snuggled into her pillow and fell quickly asleep.
…
Reese snored loudly, startling Jason who was lying next to her. Shoving her pillow into his face, Reese changed her position and snored again.
…
Starfire crammed her pillow over her head and pushed her face down into the mattress. Thoughts and dreams disrupted by her missing friends.
…
The 4 figures lurked outside each of the girls windows. Giving a thumbs up to one another they placed a small glasscutter to the window, and made a hole small enough for their essence to slide through.
Maniac woke abruptly as her MP3 player started skipping. Shooting up she saw a shadow of a man standing in the windowsill. Gasping she looked over to Gerard. He was still fast asleep. Okay- that meant that this intruder would be getting the major smack down.
The man whipped out a dagger from his side pocket and moved swiftly to Maniac's left. Holding the small knife to he throat he made a low growl in his throat. "Go head, scream," he mocked.
Maniac smirked. "Nah, rather take you down by myself," she said slyly. Shooting her arm to the mans neck she flipped him over onto the floor. Unfazed, the man shot back with another attack. Maniac ducked quickly. The man sank his teeth into her throat, rendering her unconscious.
…
Our 2nd trespasser was able to slip into Starfire's room easy. After tranquilizing the worm-like creature lying in the corner, his mission was simple. The girl only stirred once, groaning and turning over onto her side. Placing a cloth over the girl's mouth and picking her up bridal style, the kidnapper disappeared.
…
Jason rubbed his eyes groggily. His head snapped to the direction of the window as it opened slowly. Jumping to his feet, Jason tried to focus his eyes on the intruder. Reese snored loudly, still fast asleep. Jason smacked her with a pillow, waking her automatically. "PICKLES!" Reese fell backwards on to the floor. "What the hell?"
Seeing himself out numbered, the criminal dashed out the window before the duo could attack.
…
The last of the 4 leaned against the wall of Raven's room, completely unconscious. Raven on the opposite was heaving in great breaths. Holding her leg with a crushing strength she was able to limp over to the wall and trip the alarm. The room began flashing a crimson red, having all occupancies of the tower rush to Raven's room. Greg raced to her side, trying to get Raven to calm down so he could bandage her leg.
"What happened?" Robin demanded.
"This guy broke into my room. Stabbed my leg with some knife, but I took him out easy no problem," Raven said grinning.
Reese touched her shoulder, making Raven collapse into Greg's arms.
"Same thing with us. Guy broke into our room, but fled soon as he saw me," Jason spoke softly.
"Maniac! Where's Tara? Has anyone seen Tara?" Gerard cried, panicking.
"Starfire's gone to!" Robin exclaimed.
"I was in the same room as her- how'd I let this happen!" Gerard questioned.
"I was 3 rooms away from her!" Robin stated.
"We have a prisoner let's interrogate him," Jason said with a fake sob.
"Not anymore we don't," Beastboy retorted.
"And now Amber is missing!" Jason wailed.
Dun, dun, dun!
