A/N
Hi, people. Bleeding Wings here. I'm glad a lot of you are enjoying my fanfic. I really want to thank those who review my story and keep me going. Be sure to tell your friends to read and review my fic, okay? I seriously need more reviews!
On with the fic!
Out in space, the Watch Tower orbits around the Earth, ever so vigilant to any threat that rears its ugly head. Some of the superheroes were in the cafeteria mingling with one another while others were honing their skills in the training rooms. Despite the Cadmus incident, all of the Justice League cared about only one thing: the safety of the world.
J'onn was no exception. When it comes to vigilance, the Martian Manhunter would be considered grand champion. The eyes and ears of the Justice League sat in the center of Central Control, laying out commands for all personnel.
"Sir! You have to come see this!" J'onn got up from his seat and moved like a ghost to the one who called him. The martian stood by the man's side and looked to the screen.
"A battle no doubt, seeing how huge the crater is around the northeast sector of Jump City. The blast must have been caused by a tremendous force, but it seems that no one was seriously injured."
"Sir, should we send some of the Justice League members down there to investigate?"
"Perhaps so, Nathan. I'll notify Booster Gold, Steel, the Flash and-"
"That won't be necessary."
J'onn and the other man turned to see who joined in on their observation. It was Batman.
"No one has to be sent down there, J'onn. Whatever occurred down there has been neutralized."
"Batman, I don't know if we can just let this slip by."
"Trust me, J'onn. Jump City is under the Teen Titans' protection. Let's remember who the leader of the Titans is. Besides, I don't think now is the time to intervene. I got a feeling that something big, real big is heading our way. And now is not the time for us to take action. All we can do is wait."
J'onn almost seemed to have smiled.
"You know, Batman? Most of the time, your intuition is usually correct. Maybe you do have superpowers after all."
Such a thought only made Batman snort.
"If I did, I'd be more than glad to throw them away. I bet that the Teen Titans are going to play a very serious role in what is to come. Right now, those teenagers are making a very critical decision, a decision that could affect the fate of their very city. Perhaps even… the fate of the world."
"I say we should get on the Superman ride! That looks totally freaky!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"Why don't we head to the Samurai Champloo Stunt Show? I bet that stunt show is just as awesome as the show on TV!" Cyborg said.
"My friends, let's get on those cute spinning tea cups!" Starfire said.
"… That sissy ride is in Disney World," Raven said.
The Teen Titans decided to reward themselves with having a great time at Six Flags. Now all they need to do is decide where to start their fun. The Titans talked on, walking through Superhero Land and checking out the all the latest rides around them.
"Hey, Cyborg. I don't think it's fair to leave Robin home while we're out here having the time of our lives," Raven said.
"… I must agree. It's not as though we're facing Plasmus or Control Freak," Starfire added.
"Guys, we decided days ago that Robin's to be given a one-month suspension and that's staying in effect no matter what," Cyborg said.
"But dude, don't you think that's a little too harsh?" Beast Boy asked.
"Not at all," Cyborg said sternly.
"Come on, Cyborg. At least-" When Raven looked behind, she caught the sight of a young man leaning his back against the entrance to Bugs Bunny Land and folding his arms.
The young man in black winked to her and smiled…
"YOU GUYS! I-I'm gonna head to Bugs Bunny Land!" Raven exclaimed happily. Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy couldn't help but gawk at her.
"… you wanna go to… Bugs Bunny Land?" Beast Boy asked slowly.
"Uh… SURE! Love those Looney Tunes! NYAH, WHAT'S UP DOC? Hey, uh, let's meet here in two hours. I'll be down there while you three can do whatever. SEEYA!" Without giving the other three a chance to speak a word, Raven teleported quickly to her amusement zone. Cyborg scratched his head.
"Why would she wanna go there? That's so not Raven."
Raven came out of the shadows and ended up at the entrance to the home of the Looney Tunes. Raven looked around frantically, trying to find…
"Robin? Robin, where are you?"
"Right here."
Raven quickly turned around and saw him face to face with her. Squealing with joy, Raven jumped into his arms and hugged him. Feeling so joyful to have her in his arms, Robin picked her up and spun her all around in the air.
"I can't believe you're here, Robin! How did you know we're here in Six Flags?"
"I read all your minds."
"… From that far away? You're getting better. I bet you're gonna like what's on my mind right now…"
Robin and Raven blushed deeply as they held hands and headed for another entertaining amusement zone: Homicidal Maniac Land.
Meanwhile, the other three Titans were enjoying their sweets in Candy Land. Cyborg was having a pair of vanilla ice cream waffle cones while Beast Boy and Starfire were having cotton candy. Starfire spotted Beast Boy flirting with a couple of girls, trying to be comedic and all. However, the girls left him behind and joined their boyfriends. Beast Boy only slumped in disappointment and ate his cotton candy.
(Poor Beast Boy. I just can't understand why many girls wouldn't really like him. All the girls, even Terra, turned him down. Such a fate he does not deserve. He's pretty cute, lively, nicely well-built…)
Starfire worked her eyes downward on Beast Boy.
(… and he sure has a lovely butt. Teeheeheehee. Oh my. Beast Boy sure has grown. How I'd like that spank him like a bad boy and – WAIT A MINUTE! My eyes are only for Robin! I think…)
"BOOYAH! Now THAT'S where I'm headin!" Beast Boy looked to Cyborg. Starfire quickly turned her eyes away from Beast Boy, trying not to stare at him in such a way. Wearing a very sinister smile and rubbing his hands, Cyborg now knew what he wanted to do in Six Flags.
Sing his heart out in the Karaoke Superstar booth.
"You guys can do whatever you want, but I'm gonna make myself the next AMERICAN IDOL! Remember our meeting spot. SEEYA!" Cyborg ran right for Karaoke Superstar, causing tremors from every step he took.
That leaves only Starfire and Beast Boy.
"Hey, Star? If you want, we can get on the bumper cars. I know you like your rides low-keyed, so how about it?" Starfire smiled to Beast Boy.
"That's very sweet of you, putting my pleasures before your own. Let's go." Starfire took Beast Boy's hand and headed for Wussy Land. Beast Boy didn't expect Starfire to hold hands with him at all.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED UP THERE? I was so damn close to opening the portal, and I ended up getting nearly obliterated by who-knows-what. I tried everything to unleash the portal out of Raven, and yet nothing worked! Damnit, I feel like ripping my hair out! Oh, wait a minute. I don't have any hair. As a matter of fact, I don't even have a face. Man, it sucks to be one of the undead."
Slade paced back and forth in his secret hideout, trying to figure out what went wrong. Feeling more frustrated, Slade smashed a wall with his fist, causing an enormous crack.
"My best bet now is to kidnap Raven, perform surgery on her and-"
Slade's cellular rang. Slade eyed the phone, slowly picked it up and brought it to his ear.
"…. Hello?"
"This is Trigon. I heard about the screwup you made with the Titans. I'm not happy…"
"I promise you, Lord Trigun, that you will be unleashed. I just need more time."
"You won't have all the time in the world at the rate you're going. I learned that my dear daughter no longer holds the power to open the portal."
"What? How the –BEEP- did THAT happen?"
"That's not important. What is important is that I found out who the new portal is. All you need to do now is follow my simple instructions. What you must do is…"
A long pause filled the room. Slade waited for Trigon's instructions eagerly.
"… Well?" Slade asked.
"…Uh, it'll have to wait. I need to get this new batch of Pillsbury chocolate-chip cookies out of the oven. And I think Bo and Hope are about to break up in Days of Our Lives. I'll call you right back." Trigon hung up.
Feeling more irritated than ever, Slade threw his cell onto the floor.
"EVERYONE'S GOING FREAKIN' NUTS! That does it! I'm going back to the surface and deal with the Titans PERSONALLY!"
… to be continued.
