Raven's hands hovered over Bill's broken arm. Once done, she placed the cast on his arm and smiled. "Feeling better?" Raven asked. "I've fixed your arm to a minor fracture. You're still going to need a few weeks in the cast, however."
"Thank you. My arm is feeling a lot better. I don't mind the cast. Better than having a broken arm hanging limp."
"Mr. Moody!" a voice happily exclaimed from the doorway. Alma rushed over to the man and gave him a hug. "Long time, no see!"
"Alma, glad you're safe! I'm sorry for what happened to your father… I wish I could have prevented it." Bill said sympathetically. "Armacham will pay."
It was at this time that Robin decided to lay out his plan. "With the information Raven, Canyon, and Cyborg have gathered, not to mention a testimony by Bill, if you feel like it, should be enough to bring Armacham down. We need to play it safe. As of now, Armacham is still a threat. We need to lay low, pretend we don't know anything. Silently build up the case. As for Alma… would you like to start training with us?"
"Sure... but I need a costume. I don't want anyone who could possibly work for Armacham to spot me here." Alma replied. Before Robin could respond, Alma continued enthusiastically. "I've got an idea! A black cloak, with a red bandanna to cover my face. My suit could be a cyan shirt with matching pants. Nobody would know me then."
Robin was astounded. "You've put a lot of thought into this, haven't you?" Alma nodded, unable to hide the grin on her face. "We'll get the costume for you. Probably tomorrow." Robin struggled to collect his thoughts. Finally, he found what he wanted to say. "Cyborg and I will start putting a case together. I'd suggest Canyon get to the Case Room ASAP." At the mention of Canyon's name, Raven let a ghost of a smile grace her pale face. "With his help, it shouldn't take too long to get all our information sorted. Meeting dismissed."
Everyone went their separate ways, leaving the Med Bay so that Bill Moody could rest. Raven teleported to the roof so she could meditate. Robin and Cyborg swiftly made their way to the Case Room. As for Alma, she zoomed merrily back and forth down the hallway, excited for her soon to begin training. However, she was not paying attention and nearly collided with Beast Boy. "Freight train!" the green changeling yelled as Alma zipped passed him in a flurry. Unfortunately for him, Alma heard this, and stopped.
Did he just call me a freight train…? Is he making fun of my weight? Alma turned around, and stared at Beast Boy. "A… freight train?" she said icily. He made fun of her weight, he had to pay!
"W-well, freight trains are fast and they can knock you over or kill you because they're so big…" Beast Boy began.
"Big?" Alma asked, wondering how stupid Beast Boy really was.
"Well, they're big, not as big as some things, like a plane. Yeah, a plane is huge! They're so big, they dwarf freight trains! If that isn't enough, a cargo plane could probably easily fit a freight train in it!" A vein, Beast Boy noticed, was visibly throbbing on Alma's forehead. "They weight a lot," he continued, oblivious to the fact that Alma was taking this the wrong way, "did you know, the average adult male elephant weighs… uh, Alma?"
There was a fire dancing in her eyes. Beast Boy couldn't understand why. They had been talking about big things that weighed a lot, and… weight. Oh, crap, Beast Boy thought, she's been taking this the wrong way. "That's not what I… eeep!" Beast Boy yelled as a fireball came hurtling towards him. He changed into a hummingbird and zoomed away, Alma hot on his heels.
Meanwhile, in the Common Room…
Canyon, who had regained his composure and made a note to avoid Raven for eternity, had answered his Communicator and was about to head out the doors when they opened, and he had to duck to avoid the green hummingbird that nearly smacked him in the forehead. A red blur was chasing the green hummingbird, and Canyon leaped to the left to avoid being run over by said red blur. It took a moment, but his brain registered that Beast Boy was being chased by an angry Alma. Not wanting to get caught in the crossfire, Canyon immediately left for the Case Room as if the devil himself was on his heels.
Throughout the Tower…
Raven was meditating on the roof. All was peaceful, quite, and Raven hoped it would stay that way. The sun's rays beat down on her, why did her leotard have to be black, of all colors? "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos," Raven chanted. A scream of 'help me!' knocked Raven out of her trance and she went below, towards the sound of the scream.
Canyon had just gotten to the Case Room and explained to Cyborg and Robin what he'd seen. Both had faces as pale, possibly paler, if possible, than Raven's. A scream of 'help me!' confirmed their worst fears. The trio rushed back to the Common Room, where they were sure the scream had originated from.
The four of them found a scared, cowering Beast Boy with a large, red handprint on his face, his singed clothes reeking of smoke and other odors that, due to the rating, shall not be described here. Needless to say, the Titans were puzzled to no end.
