A/N: Just got the Shinedown CD Sound of Madness and the video for Devour on the bonus DVD gave me inspiration. Anyway here goes the story.
Beastboy sighed as he streamed the internet for a good song. One band had lately caught his eye, Shinedown. Besides the fact they were great to sing and dance to, the words spoke to him. Although he had heard almost all their songs now. Suddenly he heard the alarm, which made his ears scream themselves from the shock.
Beastboy ran to the room where he would find them. It was a bank robbery, and by routine they all ran to the garage, except Beastboy who saw something in the surveillance video he did not like. He walked to the garage with his team, but hesitantly. They all were waiting in the car, and Beastboy got a window seat because of his lateness. As they drove he gazed at the reflection of Raven in the window, hoping to all his gods that she would not be hurt by him.
As they arrived Beastboy could smell the familiar stench of Africa's most annoying tribal man. Beastboy was quick to rush inside, his claws extending as he ran to the robber, A man with long black hair, blue skin with tribal markings, and claws extending from each knuckle, which he was using to shred through the safe.
"Austin, stop this!" Beastboy yelled as he tackled his brother, who was quick to get in a claw-to-claw battle with Beastboy. The men looked like they were trained by the same person as their claws clashed in every move they made. The Titans were frozen as the two clawed beings battled it out. Suddenly the blue one spoke as they held their claws together, "Garfield, it has been a long time." He had a heavy Italian accent, to which Garfield replied, "Too long, brother."
Finally they grinned and put away their claws, instead embracing each other in a brotherly hug. They laughed and exchanged words in a language unknown to the Titans. They walked to the cautious team, laughing like old friends. "Austin, this is Robin, his sweetheart Starfire, my other big bro Cyborg, and-" Austin stopped and walked to her. "Raven, easiest to remember from your letters." Austin laughed as he shook her hand then everyone else's. Garfield and Austin walked down the street to the car laughing and chatting, with the Titans following.
