The Beast's Keeper

Chapter 2

Candice's POV

It is 6:30 in the morning and the only Avengers up are Captain America aka Steve Rogers and myself, Candice Logan aka Shifter. Steve is punching a punching bag. I, on the other hand am drinking a healthy homemade energy drink since I just finished my morning training. I am the youngest Avenger at 17 years old. It's actually my 17th birthday today (not that I would tell anyone that, I don't like to be the centre of attention). I was expecting something from my baby brother, Garfield. He's probably busy with saving the world. Yes I know that Garfield (or Gar as I call him) is Beast boy, and I not happy about that. I worried about him I haven't heard from him since his last letter. In the last letter he told me about his team, the Teen Titans. How they had just defeated the Brotherhood of evil.

"Candice," Steve said snapping me out of my train of thought, "I've been calling you for about two minutes now. Are you ok? You've been staring into space for the last ten minutes."

"Oh I'm ok, Steve. Just thinking."

"About what?"

"Something I will not tell you about."

"Is that something your birthday, which is today?"

My head snaps toward him in surprise. How did he know that? "How did you know that?"

He chuckles and says, "I didn't, but you just affirmed it."

I stare at him, but slowly smirk and say, "Watch you're back." I turn and walk to the kitchen. On my way I bump into Clint "Hey, Clint. How did you sleep?"

"Good. You?"

"Ok I guess" we get to the kitchen and find Natasha sitting at the table cleaning her guns.

About an hour later, all the Avengers and Loki (yes, Loki. We found out that he was being controlled by some weirdo) are up and are in the living room watching NCIS. It was uninterrupted until Thor starts to speak.

"I find it horrible that you Midgardians think that watching people die is entertaining."

Tony answers, "Thor, this program is not about people dying it is about how people or investigators find out who killed that person and bring them to justice."

Just then I felt a sharp pain on my neck. The others saw me holding my neck in a lot of pain. Suddenly realization hits me… Garfield. He must be hurt. The pain stops about two minutes later. Thank God.

Thor comes over to me, "Are you ok, Lady Candice?"

"I'm ok Thor. Tony can you trace this tracker and put it up on the screen?" yes I put a tracker on my brother. It is a safety precaution if he gets kidnapped. He doesn't know about it though.

"Yes, but why do you want to see it?"

"Tony, just bring it up!" he brings it up. It says he's in the Titans Tower, but was at some warehouse when the pain hit me. "Tony can you bring me up video feed of that warehouse at the same time I got the pain in my neck?"

"Ok. Here it is. It looks like a bunch of people fighting some guy in a black and orange suit. Why did you want me to bring this up, Candice?" Tony says.

"It's not just a bunch of people, Tony. They are the Teen Titans. Superheroes of a city called Jump City. The reason I wanted you to bring it up is my brother is on that team. The sharp pain that I experienced just there was because my brother got hurt in this fight. He most probably got electrocuted somehow."

Thor comes over to my side and says "Who are these Teen Titans you talk about, and which one is your brother?"

I sigh "Avengers, the Teen Titans are a group of teenaged superheroes based in Jump City. Their leader is Robin. The Teen Titans have a round-the-world system. Meaning they have young heroes all around the world. They even have other teams. One being the Titans East, though the Teen titans are the main team. The young heroes they that work alone, but are still part of the System are called Honorary Titans. As for you question, Thor. My brother is the green one who is turning into animals." We watch the fight continue until Beast boy gets a collar put on him and gets electrocuted by the collar.

I get up say, "I'm going to my room, guys." So I go to my room with Alpha following me. Now you're probably wondering who this Alpha is. Well, Alpha is my snow white, genetically enhanced wolf he is smarter than the normal wolf, and he is a lot bigger than the normal wolf. His head is almost level with mine.

Once I get to my room, I sit at the desk in my room and write a letter to the Titans. When I am finished I put the letter in an envelope and take out a collar I have for Alpha that can hold an envelope safely. I put the envelope in the waterproof pouch after I am done I put the collar on alpha and say to him, "Go to jump city and give this letter to Garfield." He gives me a small lick and heads off to Jump city.
