Notes: A gift fic I wrote at Livejournal, a little gruesome. Titans East, but no pairings.
They weren't paying attention as they ran. Not that they usually did, they just weren't like that. they were barely ten, and they always assumed that the world would watch out for them, instead of vice versa.
And it wasn't that they were careless as it happened either, they just had a lot to worry about: A villian who was new to the city, Speedy gone, andBee and Aqualad were arguing for some reason (no one really told them why, and they probably wouldn't understand either), so essentially, they were leader-less.
They would manage, though. Mas and Menos had known each other for a long time, and they always thought that they'd be okay as long as they were together.
They were wrong.
When Cinderblock lashed out again, he hit a building, which dislodged a couple panes of glass. Bee and Aqualad didn't notice, and were still standing under the building before Mas and Menos pushed them.
One pane sliced right through Mas' hands.
He didn't scream, but slowed and stared at his bleeding wrists before collapsing, face first into the pavement, Menos' screams growing dimmer.
He knew they would never run again.
I've got no idea where this came from, but I hope you like it just the same.
