Chapter 2
Garfield's POV
Dude… I thought. The chicks. Oh my God! They were so hot! I stood, gaping, in the College Café across campus from our dorms. I slowly pulled my hood from over my head, letting my blonde hair fall in front of my eyes. We had just stepped through the door, and already I spotted 3 hawt chicks I would ask to date. I was their charmer: short, blonde, good looking, and so flippin' funny. At least I thought so.
The brunette with the nice fitting Abercrombie & Fitch shirt and plaid capris, the tall blonde in the purple V-Neck and flared black pants, the redhead with the plaid button up and bleached jeans… And… Oh my God, she's cute… The black haired chick sitting alone in the corner. She had on a black long sleeve that really brought out her curves… And the black pants were so long they went way past her ankles… (A/N: I know, not his type really… But oh well…)
I was brought back to reality as Victor hit me across the head. "Ouch!"
"Man, I thought you were dead for a second. Richard is long gone. Let's get the food and hit the chairs," he told me.
"Thank you for that information, Victor," I growled. "Food sounds great, though." My mood abruptly brightened.
"Salad and soda. Yum," Cyborg noted sarcastically. "You keep that diet up, you'll stay short! I on the other hand I am tall and muscular because of the four basic food groups. You need meat, vegan."
"Blah blah blah… I can't hear you," I muttered under my breath, as I stalked towards the salad bar. I kept checking back at the Hot Goth. She had on black lipstick and thick eyeliner. She kept checking her watch… Humph. Must already have been hooked up. Damn… Her pale features looked annoyed. Then a tall orange haired girl with stunning green eyes sat down hurriedly across from her.
Wow, she's totally Richad's type, I thought with a smug smile. (A/N: I really need to work on BB's POV. It just doesn't sound like him. But I'm lazy and I don't feel like going back and fixing it.)
So I grabbed my meal and walked toward their table, confidence growing in each step. "Hello, ladies," I said, sitting down with a flourish.
Raven's POV
Wtf? I thought, raising an eyebrow at the munchkin that just sat down. Wtf is he doing here?
"Hello, friend!" Kori said, giving him a friendly hug.
"Quite the friendly one there," he gasped.
She giggled and I muttered, "Very," before raising my voice a little and telling Munchkin Blonde, "What the hell are you doing here, squirt?"
He looked hurt, but I didn't care. "I am in fact sitting here to charm you ladies," he said, jiggling his eyebrows and pushing his hair back. It fell back over his eyes and he frowned.
I snorted. "Charm? Us? Good luck with that, squirt." Kori was placing a spoonful of broth into her mouth and I crunched down on my lettuce. "It's good to see someone besides me and Kori here has a healthy diet," I muttered, after swallowing my lettuce, and eyeing his salad.
"What's your name, Quiet and Brooding?" he asked me, leaning on the table.
"Raven," I stated simply. "Yours?" He seemed shocked to hear my name.
Garfield's POV
Raven? I thought. Holy crap… That sounds really familiar.
Raven's POV
"Garfield," he responded.
"Oh, like that fat orange tabby I've read about in those comics!" Kori squealed.
"Yeah. That." Garfield frowned.
"Hey man! We were lookin' for you!" a voice boomed. I looked up in surprise and saw a tall African American and another shortie walk up to the table. "Girls? For this long? I'm impressed, Garfield," the tall African said. Garfield frowned.
"Garfield, I promise you if you go missing again, I will shoot you," the black haired short one shouted, pointing a finger at Garfield accusingly. "I promise."
Kori's POV
Oh no… I realized who I was staring at. It was that group from before. I gasped when I noticed the BWBH (Boy With Black Hair)… I quickly looked down and sipped my broth again. My face flushed. I heard him say, ""Garfield, I promise you if you go missing again, I will shoot you. I promise." He seemed stern. Like a leader of the group…
I looked up as they sat down and asked the BWBH, "Hello, friend! What is your name?" He looked at me and…
Richard's POV
I felt like I'd seen her before. She was the most beautiful girl ever. Tall, elegant… Love at first sight. I leaned on the table in her direction and replied, "Richard. What's yours?" She flushed crimson and I smiled a little.
"Kori," she replied.
I looked at the other girl. I took in her appearance: dark, Goth, quiet. I looked up as Garfield started talking.
"Kori," he said, looking at her, "this is Victor, and Victor, this is Kori." He was gesturing to them as he said their names. "Victor and Richard, this is Raven, dudes."
Raven? I thought, jolting up straight. Why does that sound so familiar?
Victor's POV (Finally!)
I jolted upright and thought, Raven? Jeez, she sounds familiar. I looked at her closer, and noticed she looked familiar, too. I just couldn't put my finger on it.
"Hey guys. As he said, I'm Victor," I said, putting a hand on my chest. Then I leaned down next to the girls and whispered, "But I'm warning you, it doesn't take long to figure out that Garfield'll crack the worst jokes." Apparently he heard that.
"Hey, dude! Not cool! My jokes are totally awesome! Just watch and learn," he said, punching me and getting up. Garfield walked over to a table crowded by girls and you could hear him say, "Hello ladies." Then he went back to regular volume. I couldn't hear just what he said, but I have a pretty good idea because the next thing that happened was the girls all frowned at him. A few of them giggled, but then they all stalked off. His frame sagged as they did and he came back to sit down and start eating again. As soon as he sat, I snickered. Then Richard did. Then Kori tried to hide her smile, but couldn't and burst out laughing. I joined in and so did Richard. Raven cracked a smile.
"Man, that was good!" I snorted.
"Did you see the looks on their faces?"
"Marvelous!"
"Nice job, Garfield," Raven said.
That mysterious place in Los Angeles again
"NO!" the figure slammed his fist against the screen. "This – This cannot happen! I need to see what Eirian does, and if his ideas don't work, I'll bring them here… AND MEMORY WIPE THEM AGAIN! I swear to God I will!" He kicked his metal statue across the room and it slammed into the wall, breaking into a thousand small pieces. "None of them will be able to fight me off when the time comes to fight them… They are – are too weak. And If I have to, I will kill them so that they may never rejoin again.
"Everyone seems to remember slightly at Raven's name…" He pulled out his gadget. He had taken their Teen Titan communicators from them and he and Eirian had one each while he burned the rest. "Eirian!"
"Yes?" came the calm reply as Eirian's face appeared in the mini screen.
"I need you to focus on the dark Goth. She is your main target. If anyone fully remembers even the tiniest sliver of information of their past, kill them," he ordered. "This is strict. Use anything you can… Any methods! They cannot – cannot me – meet!" And he slammed his communicator, or rather their communicator, shut and rubbed his temples.
"It's not easy being evil," he muttered, heaving into his chair. He flicked on his TV and turned to the news.
"Some college students at Jump City University are saying they have seen these faces before. They are saying that they look like the former group known as the Teen Titans! Here's Anny Marksman with more news."
"Thank you, China. I'm here at the Jump City University, standing with a group of teens and adults who say they've seen these faces before." A clip of the group at the Café eating lunch appeared.
"I swear, they look exactly the same! The dark brooding Goth is Raven and the tall African American looks like Cyborg. I don't know what happened, or if they got plastic surgery or what... All I know is that they are either back or… IT'S THE FREAKING TEEN TITANS, EVERYONE!!" A blonde with a turtle neck and gloves told the camera.
"Alright then," China chuckled as Anny pushed the interviewer away from the screen. "It looks like they're well set in their thoughts. Very confident there. If you have any more news on this mysterious group, we're happy to hear more. In further news-"
The villain sat there, mouth agape. He very slowly got up, calmly flicked the Television off, and walked out of the room, slamming the door.
"NO!! Dammit!" he screamed. "They will die!"
Wow some anger issues. Thanks for reading. Please review. Bye!
