It was about 7 in the morning, and the sun trespassed the windows of the guest room, making the young speedster stir in his sleep. Kid Flash covered his face with his pillow and groaned in annoyance. Then he felt as the warm rays of sunlight covered his entire body that was uncovered. Taking the pillow off his face, he saw the Boy Wonder pulling the curtains string down, making them hover above the sunlight. He grinned mischievously when he saw the look on Wally's face.
"Dude, would you mind…"
"Waking up? You're the only one who's still asleep, Kid." Robin said leaving the string alone and crossing his arms over his chest.
Kid Flash sat on the bed and looked around. Aqualad's, Superboy's and Red Arrow's beds were empty, and of course, Robin's too. He rubbed the tiredness off his eyes, when a soft pillow collapsed with his head, sending him head first to the cold steel floor.
"YO!" Kid Flash said from the floor.
"Better get up and ready." Robin did a flip over the half asleep speedster and got to the other side of the room. "The Titans will be having combat practice soon." With that, Robin slipped out of the room, leaving Kid Flash alone, struggling to get to his feet.
"Combat practice." He said to himself. "Great."
Cyborg ran through the obstacle course, across giant boulders and flying disks. He swiftly moved from each one of them, making them dust with his sonic canon. As he ran across the finish line with a loud BOOYAH! The titans cheered from the control room, joined by the applauds of the other team. Thankfully the charging process with Cybrg worked fine, and made him wake up stronger than ever, so now, he was destroying everything on his way with a smile on his face.
"Hey Superboy!" Robin called out from inside. "Why don't you try one?"
Superboy felt all eyes on him and smiled sheepishly. "Uh, no thanks?"
"Come on Suppey!" Kid Flash tried to push him into the obstacle course, Robin later accompained him.
"Yeah it's a kids game!" Robin said through grunts, trying to push the heavy teen further and failing.
"I said no, thanks." Superboy said, clearly not amused. From out of nowhere, there was a strong buzzing noise in the air. Standing from his position, Aqualad looked to the distance, divising two helicopters approaching the Titans tower.
"Do you guys have some kind of meeting with the president or something?" Kid Flash called the Titans, who poked their heads out the control room. Robin turned to look at the helicopters and shock splashed his face. "Titans move in!"
The heroes got near where the other team was, obviously giving them a hint of what had to be done.
"Oh, so you don't." Kid Flash commented before being dragged in by Artemis. When all of them were inside, the humongous metallic door closed, and something collapsed onto it, leaving a giant bump and making the teenagers shudder.
"Dude, what the heck is going on?" Beast boy said as he caught his breath once inside the garage.
"Get ready for attack." Robin said as he prepared his bird-a-rangs. Starfire lit up her bolts. Her bandages were still in place from last night, but that did not stop her from getting ready to battle. Cyborg prepared his canon, thirsty for action after his recharge, Raven floated up to the air, and Beastboy turned into a lion. The other team knew what to do this time, luckily. M'gann's eyes shone a dangerous electric blue, Artemis prepared her bows and Red Arrow followed suit ,Superboy got into fighting stance. Kid Flash put on his googles, Aqualad stood still. Concentrated on the door, the younger Robin pulled out his bo-staff.
Two seconds counted the door blasted and left the two teams exposed to a dangerous army of attackers.
"GO!" Robin and Aqualad united their voices and they sprang to action.
The attackers were dressed completely in black, wearing silver utility belts with various weapons. Their faces were covered, with little slits that could let them see through the fabric. They were armed dangerously with heavy guns and lasers, and they had a planned strategy to move throughout the place. No more than 3 seconds had they spent in there and bullets were flying around and bouncing on the walls. A bullet rose Artemis arm, making her skin burn. Hissing in pain, she kept her stand and fired a bow that made at least 10 of them knock out.
Starfire and M'gann took the roof, where they could see every single attack in detail. Firing furiously her starbolts, Starfire left a dozen of them lying on the floor. M'gann pushed all of them to the wall, leaving a pile. No matter how much of them fell, it seemed as more of them came out of nowhere.
The two Robin's took out a group in minutes and decided to help each team together. Robin ran up to Beastboy, who morphed into a lion and took down another large group. This one anyhow, seemed to regain their power, and stood up again as if nothing had happened.
"DUDE!" A bullet crossed Beastboy's leg gap and he shrieked, changing to his human form.
Robin did a flip until he was face to face with the unknown attacker a planted a punch to his face, but instead of seeing him fall down, his hand grabbed his wrist and twisted it, making pain jolt through his arm. Dark energy enveloped the enemy and sent him flying to a nearby wall. Raven appeared next to Robin, eyes glowing.
Cyborg and Starfire used their own maneouver; when both of their attacks were united, a lethal purplish starbolt exploded, finishing almost all of the guys on their side.
"BOOYAH!" Cyborg screamed in victory, sharing a high five with Starfire.
On the other side, Kid Flash and Red Arrow were having a hard time, since the bullets were traveling pretty fast. Kid flash ran through the attackers, kicking their weapons to the floor, while the bowman knocked them out. Superboy and Aqualad carried a pile of them as well, and joined them together. Once again, the place fell silent, only the heavy breathing of the exhausted warriors was heard.
Robin moved forward to one of the attackers who was lying on the floor with his gun nearby. He grabbed his collar and pulled him up to his eye level, taking off his mask.
An electronic screen lighted up, showing a too familiar symbol of a golden S.
Dropping the limp body to the floor, he put his foot over its chest and with a grunt, pushed down on his leg. A crack of machinery was heard and cables sprung out of its chest with sparks flying around. Robin took the untouched screen with the symbol and walking to the two mixed teams he gave it to Cyborg.
"Is this enough?" He asked.
Cyborg inspected the piece of technology and grinned.
"Positive."
I know most of you had been thinking I abandoned the story. I don't have that intention so don't worry :)
This chapter is actually really short but it had to be written to follow up on the story. The next one will be introducing new characters and a bunch of information so I'm trying my best to make everything super duper clear and tie all the lose ends.
See you next chapter!
