don't ask where i came up with this! let's just say that ALOT of things randomly pop into my head.
There was a ringing sound in the Titans Tower, mainly in Robin's room. He let out a groan as he picked up the phone, not even bothering to check the caller ID.
"Hello?" Robin said sleepishly.
"Robin, it's me Penny." A girl said.
He shot up instantly remembering the name, "Penny? Penny Tennyson?"
"The one and only." She said.
"Why are you calling me so late at night? And why not just call me on the communicator?"
"That's not important. You know my little brother, Ben?"
"Yeah, I heard he went missing shortly after he had the omnitrix removed. We tried to help, but the Plumbers made us keep out of it." Robin said, "Why do you ask?"
"Because I found him. He's with me right now." She told Robin.
Robin was shocked, "What! He's with you? Where did you find him!"
"I'll explain later, but right now he needs medical attention. I can't take him to the hospital because the people that I took him from may be after him." Penny explained.
"What about the Plumbers? They have better access to medical equipment than we do."
"They don't even want me to be involved with his investigation, they'll be pissed if they found out I went behind their back."
"You weren't assigned to help rescue him? Why on earth would you do something so careless?"
"Robin, he's my brother. I'd do anything to save him, you know that." She said almost proudly, "So, will you help us?"
He hesitated for a moment. Robin knew that there would be consequences for getting involved in something this big. But, he also knew that he can't abandon anyone that's in need of help.
"Bring him here immediately!" Robin said hanging up the phone and leaping out of bed to wake up the others.
Penny smiled and hung up the pay phone and went back to her car. She went to the driver's and glanced over at the passenger seat seeing that her little brother, Ben, was fast asleep. Relieved that he didn't seem to be having a nightmare of any kind, she started the car and drove off. Not long after that she hit a pothole, making the car bounce roughly causing Ben to wake up.
"Ouch…." Ben mumbled as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Sorry 'bout that Benny." Penny said, "I tried to avoid it, but you know those potholes they—"
"always get in the way." said finishing her sentence.
She chuckled slightly as she reached over to ruffle his hair.
"Where are we going anyway?" Ben asked Penny.
"To the Titans Tower." She told him.
"Why there?" he said confused.
"We need to have you checked out."
"Why?"
"Just try to get some more rest Ben." She said.
He didn't bother to argue with her, for she always won. So he listened to her and tried to get some more sleep.
To be continued…
Penny will be better explained in later chapters.
