"God damn it!"
What is it master of the funk?
"I was just going through all the numbers. And I have news for you."
Oh I see well it has been a pleasure working with you sir.
"What? Oh no I mean good news."
Oh joy what is it sir!?
"We have enough readers that we can let you go. But we are keeping you."
Ummm my apologies sire. But I fail to see how this would cause you to yell.
"Oh that. I dropped my pizza with tofu pepperoni and bacon."
Oh I will run and grab you some my very generous master!
"No it's ok me and one of the girls will go grab it. Maybe Jesse Quick or even Rouge… Then again probably not a good idea I almost died last time."
Um sir spoilers?
"OH! Right! Go ahead and tell the story Narrator Dude. Mumbling to himself. "Damn it now what? I guess Ravager might be free but I am not sure if she is a hero again or not that is always confusing. Guess I can just have a guys night maybe call up Cye and Riddles. Maybe even Johnny and Big T. Could be fun."
Now then we left off last with the Green Giant unconscious…
"God the fuckin' kid snores louder then Beast!"
"Yeah I forgot to mention that but on a plus note at least he will be wide awake when we get to where ever it is we are going."
"Hopefully he wakes up before then. Also anybody got any lights my? Left my Zippo back at the hideout."
"Here Logan." Storm sparks her fingers as Wolverine holds his cigar out lighting it.
"Thanks Ororo."
"No problem." They continued walking Raze on Wolverines left. Vixen and Storm on his right and the shadowy figure on the roof tops behind him. Though they were downwind of him he heard them clear as day.
'God why doesn't the kid just come out already.' He knew the person quite well and knew they were not a threat to him so he didn't point it out. But he had a feeling everyone else knew as well. Soon though he stopped and turned around. "Yo bub get your ass down here and say what you gotta or get lost." The rest of the group rolled their eyes save for Beast Boy who jolted up and fell on the ground. "Sorry kid got tired of them spying and carrying your ass. No hard feelings right?"Yawning and stretching as he rubbed his sore back Garfield was about to respond with a smart ass comment when he realized who was speaking to him as he looked up.
"Y-y-y-Your Wolverine!"
"Last I checked that's what people called me yeah."
"A-a-a-a-and you're my- m-m-m-m-my Father?"
"Again last I checked yeah I was."Beast boy nearly passed out again. This was like a dream come true. He was meeting one of his 5 biggest idols of all time. And it was his father!
"Wow."
"Yeah wow kid. Now get up we got someone waitin on you it seems." Looking up Beast Boy now notices a young girl somewhere about his age with midlength black hair wearing normal beige cargo pants and a black t-shirt with a Deadpool face on the front. Beast Boy didn't know how but felt he had seen this girl somewhere before.
"UM Hello… Have we met before?"
"No we have not Garfield Logan but we know of each other quite well I am told."
"Oh who says that?"
"My mentor you know him better as Batman. My name is Katana. It is good to meet the one whom put Brushogun at peace." BB's eyes widened as he realized why she seemed so familiar. A few times while he would hang out with Robin he would show Beast Boy pictures of the other people taken in by The Caped Crusader. Afterwards he asked robin to tell him about her. He simply pulled up a file and had him read through that.
"Holy Crap! You are amazing! Like for real! You are like the coolest ninja girl ever!" Blushing lightly at the compliment Katana nodded her head slightly.
"Thank you for the compliment Garfield Logan. I have come here not only to extend my thanks but also to issue a challenge." This time Beast Boy wanted this to be a dream. While it was true he knew a lot of martial arts he was no match for even Dick and he knew for a fact (thanks to the file.) that he was no match for the Asian bombshell with a blade.
"Um well as honored as I am I am gonna have to-"
"He will get back to you on that. Ok sister? We gotta get somewhere and time is a factor."Before Gar could even finish Wolverine had cut him off. Though he was glad that he had. It still felt wrong to say no. 'I mean she did come find me and all for just that. I feel weird backing out.' It seemed though that Katana was ok with it.
"Very well I will leave you with this then." Pulling out a paper and pen Katana wrote something down and handed it to Beast Boy. He looked at the paper and on it was a string of numbers and the name "Tatsu". Looking up obviously confused Katana stated. "It is my cell phone number and my real name. It seemed rude that I knew your whole name and you didn't even know my first name." Again looking shocked Beast Boy pulled out his Wolverine wallet (Feeling so embarrassed about that at the moment.) and put the number inside it.
"Ok I will be sure to call you." Bowing Katana words her thanks and vanishes into the shadows again. Patting Garfield on his back Logan smiled.
"Good job kid. Got yourself a date. And not a bad catch at that."
"Woh woh woh! No way that was a date request. That was a request to fight! Or did you miss that part?"Chuckling wolverine shook his head and turned around tapping his cigar a bit.
"Kid you got a lot to learn about women still." Following after his father Beast Boy speed walked up to him and Raze.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Don't worry about it. For now we gotta talk." As he said this the group stops in front of a large warehouse. "Ok gals you stay here. Me and the boys are gonna go in here and talk for a while."
"Now hold on a sec. Why can't we come in and join this talk." Vixen was in a bit of a huff over all this now. "We were on a jet for an hour and now we have to stand around here and wait?"
"Yeah little lady that's exactly what's going on. But feel free to go around and take in the sights." Wolverine turned around waiting for them to leave. Storm placed her hand on the fuming Vixen's shoulder as they walked away.
"They will be fine. Besides I saw what looked like a very fancy sushi place on the way here. "
"Fine." Vixen turned around for a moment and yells to Wolverine. "But you are paying for everything!"Logan simply rolled his eyes at that and waits till they leave then motions for Garfield to come to the door.
"Ok put your hand on the handle and grip it tight for about a minute." Nodding Beast Boy did as instructed. After what seemed like the longest minute ever a click was heard from behind the door. For some reason Logan smirked at this. "Welp looks good lets go inside." Wolverine waited for Gar to open the door and stepped past him into the dark abyss. Raze followed behind with his brother not much further behind him. Soon Beast Boys eyes adjusted to the darkness and his jaw dropped.
"Wow!" That was all that he could say. Inside the ware house was a boxing ring and training equipment off to one corner. In another corner was what seemed to be a small almost zoo like area with a small jungle inside it the rest of the place had some interesting things everywhere else. But what caught Beast Boy's eye was a staircase leading down. 'This place has two levels!?' "This place is insane."
"Glad you like it cause we are gonna be here for a few days."
"Wait! What!? Why are we gonna be here for a few days?" Logan looked at Raze with a raised brow.
"You really didn't tell him a thing?"
"Sorry pops but I was a bit preoccupied. Remember the whole boy blunder thing?" Sighing Logan just shook his head.
"Ok. You know how you have all these animalistic urges constantly?" Beast Boy truly did. A minute never went by that he forgot he was always suppressing all the crazy urges that came out almost from no where. "Well that's not just because of your transformations. It's also due to the urges from myself and your mother. Now tell me. The urges you feel were they less intense after you transformed into the Beast or did they feel stronger?" Garfield had to think about that one. It was not the strangest question but he never thought about it until now.
"Thinking back. Yeah they did seem weaker. But I figured that it was because of what Cyborg did to me to help suppress the transformation. I later found out what he had used though was just a strong tranq. But what does that have to do with anything?"
"Think kid! You let into the urges! Letting them out helps you! I mean come on it's so obvious even The Blob could figure it out!" Once again today Beast Boy was shocked at what he heard. It did make sense. But why hadn't he thought of it before? There would be time for thinking about that later though.
"Ok so say I believe that crazy idea. What do I do about the fact that every time I turn into The Beast I destroy everything around me?" Logan cracked a smile tapping his cigar on the heel of his boot he put it back in his mouth and stated simply.
"Follow me and I will show you how." HE then proceeded down the staircase with raze sitting on a solid black Harley Davidson.
"You're not coming?"
"Nah bro I am gonna hang back for this one." Raze chuckled as he said this. Garfield shrugged it off and followed behind his father. Now we return to Titans Tower where Cyborg was shaking his head looking at a large hole in the floor.
"Damn Star this is insane. I mean it was a good idea trying to hit it from under. But look at mah floor!" Cyborg wailed as with most of the things he made he saw the Tower as his baby. Every time it got damaged he shed a tear but this was different the spot Starfire had hit was like a focal point for all the wires in the tower. So right now Cyborg was busy trying to figure out how to repair it the fastest. Obviously he had already reconnected everything and taken Dick out of the Towers database and gone and changed all the passwords. 'But damn it's so crazy. Just the other day he was the little squirt who always seemed to have a stick up his ass. But that room of his.' Cyborg had gone in there by himself seeing as it was too much for star and Raven couldn't be bothered with anything that wasn't related to Beast Boy for the moment. Though she had stated that destroying his belongings would be left up to herself and Garfield when he got back. 'Hell I ain't arguing that one. Though I kinda wanna smash it all too.' When Cyborg had gone to clear it out he was amazed to find a whole wall full of the weaknesses of every hero he had ever met. It was clear this was part of Slade's plan from the start.
"How goes the fixing of the floor friend Cyborg?" Jumping slightly at the sound of the gentle Tamaranian's voice Cyborg turned around.
"Geese Star don't sneak up on me like that nearly scared me to death."
"My apologize I wished no harm or to scare you. I simply wished to know if there was anything I could do to help. After all I am responsible for this."
"No Starfire. This is in no way your fault. It's the fault of that dick head. God I swear if I see him again he is gonna pay for hurting you like that." Cyborg looked up after ranting and saw tears almost pouring from the young girls face and his eyes widen. He then wraps her up in a hug and strokes her hair while she sobs into his shoulder. "I am so sorry Star I really am. I wish I could do something to help."Wiping her eyes the young lady from the stars sniffled.
"It is ok friend I thank you for the sentiment. But I still wish to know is there anything I can do to help?" His eyes lighting up with an idea Cyborg smiles and says coyly.
"Well I am gonna need to go buy some stuff to fix this mess. And the hardware store I am going to is next to the mall. I could use some stuff from there as well. If you wanna tag along that is?"This time Starfire's eyes lit up with joy. She loved the mall and everything about it.
"OHHHH thank you friend Cyborg will friend Jinx be coming as well?" Cye had seen that coming from a mile away. Ever since he and Jinx started dating her and Starfire had gotten much closer. Starfire learning new things from Jinx. And Jinx learning more about outer space. Turned out the girl was really into astronomy. It made the tin man happy that his main lady and the girl he saw as a little sister were able to get along so well.
"Sure Star let me ring her up and see if she is game." Starfire spun around in the air with joy as she flew to her room to get ready. Cyborg was left smiling shaking his head as he sent Jinx a text from his brain. 'Wanna come to the mall with me and Star? She is still a little messed up about the whole Dick thing.' Within seconds he got a reply.
'Hell yeah also me and the rest of the Titans here in Jersey are still trying to track him down even Red X.'
'Ever figure out why he chose to join you guys? Or who he even is?'
'Nope. Though we have some theories. Will keep you up to date. See you in a bit babe.'
'Don't keep me waitin sexy curse ;)' 'Damn I am really to mushy with this girl.' Cyborg chuckled at the thought as he went to his own room to get his holoring and find some decent clothes to wear on this spontaneous mall crawl. Back with Beast Boy was no where near as calm as the Tower.
'Holy hell. This is insane.' Turns out that the underneath of the warehouse was just a large empty room. The walls covered in claw marks and the top was latched shut and could only be opened from outside. Thus why raze was outside. The only thing in the room were the lights on the ceiling. And for what felt to Beast Boy like hours Wolverine had been attacking him almost nonstop. 'I haven't had a second to breath almost this entire time. All he said before this started was that he "was not gonna hold back" and then ran at me with his claws out slashing like crazy. And for some reason I keep thinking I see someone in the corner of my eye.' Just as he thought this Logan lunged at him again With Garfield barely able to dodge by changing into a cheetah and racing backwards. He then turned to a wolf and lunged at Wolverine again this time aiming for the jugular. Though like every other time before he was knocked to the side with a strong kick. As he flew back wards he shifted back to a human and felt blood oozing from his left arm. 'Shit I don't know how much more I can take.'
"What's the matter kid? I told you I ain't holdin back. If you wanna live you better shift back."
"What do you mean!? I can't just shift cause you beat the hell out of me." Wolverine let out a feral laugh at this one.
"See kid that's where you are wrong. I ain't just beating the hell out of you. I am aiming to kill you and if things keep going at this rate I will succeed." Beast Boys eyes went wide at this it was true that Logan had been known to kill in the past. But his own son?! Could he do that? From how he felt right now BB though he just may and this scared the hell out of him. Jumping to the side as a huge fist smashed past him Garfield tried to think fast and remember how he felt the last time he turned into The Beast. He didn't have to long to think though because just then Wolverine hit him square in the guy and started pushing out his claws…..
What will be the fate of our young Hero? What is going on in Ravens head? Will Beast Boy ever figure out who he is getting pizza with? Who are Johnny and Big T? All these questions and many more could be answered next time on THE GREEN PATH!
