Here's the rewrite of chapter 2. Enjoy.
It was an average day at Titans Tower, well as average as it can get. Raven was off on her own. She was floating midair and meditating and trying to tune out the chaos going on around her. The purple haired girl let out a loud breath as she closed her eyes tighter.
Floating near the windows was Starfire. The Tameranian was petting Silky. He was making noises that sounded content. She giggled at his enjoyment and glanced over at the giant computer. She let out a sigh as she noticed who was over there. It was Robin, and Starfire hoped that he would stop monitoring soon. She worried about how he was always working himself to the point of exhaustion.
Robin glanced from page to page on the giant monitor. His eyes were narrowed in determination. During one of their last missions the team had picked up some important information. The boy wonder knew that it somehow had to be connected with Slade. The raven haired boy had been trying to connect this info to Slade for the past week and still nothing.
Over on the couch sat Beast Boy and Cyborg. Cyborg's eyes were narrowed in determination. The green skinned boy bit his lip, his eyes were also narrowed. Cyborg's car was narrowly in the lead. Their cars were bumping into each other. Both males leaned further and further towards the screen as the finish line came into sight.
Everyone instantly jumped out of their skins when a shrill BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP sounded. The room began to flash red. Beast Boy and Cyborg scrambled off the couch, tripping over each other. Raven merely opened her eyes and flew over. Starfire, in her shock had accidently tossed Silky into the air. She quickly caught him and set him gently back down before flying over to Robin. On the screen appeared a man with a black and orange mask. Instantly Robin's eyes narrowed.
"Slade." Robin said in an angry growl "what do you want?"
Robin's heart rate began to accelerate. He had been this close to figuring out Slade's plot, and that thought just made Robin's blood boil.
Slade spoke with a feigned polite tone, "Hello Titans. I hope I didn't disturb you Saturday afternoon."
Robin couldn't contain his temper any longer as he yelled, "What do you want?"
Slade replied in a fake scolding voice, "Always in such a hurry to get to the point Robin. I'd watch your temper if I where you."
Robin gave look of anger and rage. Slade always he knew how to get to him. That was how he'd tricked him into becoming his first apprentice. He quickly shook of that thought, burying the horrible memories.
"Now Titans, I'm sure you want to know of my plan, but I'm not going to tell you. I guess you'll just have to find out in New York City when you'll meet my soon to be apprentice."
Beast Boy crossed his arms as he inquired, "How do we know that you're in New York City, and not sending us on a wild goose chase?"
The rest of the team looked at Beast Boy. It wasn't every day that one of his theories actually made sense. Robin hit a button and the computer began to track the source of the signal.
Slade replied, hiding a smirk beneath his mask, "Don't believe me, look for your selves."
The camera zoomed out and the Statue of Liberty was in the background with his robot minions all around an on it. The computer came back with the results of the source of the live feed confirming that Slade was indeed in New York City.
"And by the way Titans, I'd get here by 7:40, New York time." With that the screen went blank.
"TITANS GO!" yelled robin as they rushed towards the T-Ship.
As they all piled into their seats Beast Boy complained, "Why do we have to go now, it will only take a few hours to get there."
Raven replied, sounding annoyed at Beast Boy's naivety, "Because, the time zones changes Beast Boy."
Beast Boy rubbed the back of his neck with a nervous smile as he replied, "Oh right, I knew that."
After a flight that felt longer than it actually was, the teens were flying over New York City. Beast Boy was pressed up against the glass. His breath caused it to fog up. The green skinned boy noticed the fog and began to draw stick figured. He looked over at Raven and gave her a smile. Raven rolled her eyes and looked away. Beast Boy pouted at his failed attempt to get Raven to laugh.
As Starfire looked out the window she asked, "Who is that green lady standing on an island?"
Robin responded, "That's the Statue of Liberty, Star,"
"Oh," she replied as they landed on a grassy area by near the boats to get to the Statue of Liberty.
The teens climbed out of the T-ship. Beast Boy turned into a cat to stretch himself out. Everyone was getting ready for their encounter with Slade. Cyborg was scanning the area in an attempt to lock onto Slade's position. I minute latter his scanner let out a beep.
Cyborg looked at the group as he said, "This is the last place we saw Slade, but my scanners say he's not here, but I know where he is."
Robin's eyes narrowed, "Then let's stop him. TITIANS GO!"
The heroes desperately flew and ran as fast as they could.
They were closing in on the warehouse when Starfire gasped, "We have only EEEP, five minutes!"
Robin responded, "That's all we need."
The doors to the warehouse flew open as the team rushed inside. Slade stood menacingly in the center with a big machine which looked like the one Dock Ock had. In fact the warehouse looked like the same one Spidey fought earlier.
Slade spoke first, "I'm disappointed in you Titans, you showed up with only five minutes to spare,"
The Titans glared at Slade. They stood in a battle stance ready to fight. Just as Robin was about to yell the command to attack, Slade spoke once again.
"Now I'm sure you wanted to know of my plan, and who my apprentice will be."
Slade held back a smirk beneath his mask. He could tell right away that Robin wasn't going to put up with his mind games. However, Slade knew that the young teen would still fall for them none the less.
Robin shouted back, "WHAT EVER IT IS WE'LL STOP YOU!"
Slade replied pretending to scold the boy, "Now, now Robin, watch your temper. My apprentice should be her any minute,"
In the middle of the room appeared a flash of blue light. A portal opened up as Slade said, "Ah here he comes now,"
Everyone could see a strange man with metal tentacles. The peculiar man wore an old beat up trench coat, and green jump suit. He seemed to be talking to someone in a red and blue outfit, who was currently hanging by his legs from two tentacles.
They managed to hear the man say, "I don't know where this will take you arachnid, but it doesn't matter, which ever universe you'll end up in it won't be one where you exist."
A strange man with a striped green shirt and sand legs said happily, "And you won't be here to stop us."
The man with tentacles said in an annoyed tone, "I think he got the idea." as he tossed the teen dressed in red and blue through the portal. There was a flash of bright light and the teen collided with the ground. The stranger managed to face towards the portal as it closed.
Wow. I broke 1,000 words. By the time this is done the story should be longer than 11 chapters. Now I'm off to rewrite chapter 3.
