Hi, everyone. Computer's been down, so I haven't had much luck in getting this story done. Here's the next chapter in A Lost Man.
"This is DH Command to Jericho, come in."
"This is Jericho here. What is your wish, my lord?"
The screen, which was black just moments before, now held a map of Africa. A green dot was blinking in Egypt, and then zoomed in.
"As you know, the Titans have gathered in Cairo, to reunite with Beast Boy, which is why the Doom Patrol is gathered there as well. Now is the time. Strike with the rage of the Brotherhood and capture these former heroes." Jericho laughed, and, beneath his mask, he grinned. The Titans were good enough, and the Doom Patrol was a bonus.
"Captain, have our shock troopers ready to deploy. We shall capture these murderers once and for all."
Cairo
"Alpha squad, attack from the left. Bravo and Charlie, cover Echo squad as they attack the house directly. Deltas, attack right, and destroy whatever vehicles you can find. Remember to use your stunners, or else we face Commander Jericho's wrath," the officer said, with fear creeping into her voice during the last few words. Quietly, without hesitation, each squad moved into position, and the order finally fell upon their ears.
"Fire."
The world slowed down, bits and pieces of the house flying through the air. Being caught off guard, the Titans and Doom Patrol took cover wherever they could. Negative Man was the first to go down. Then came Elasti-Girl, Starfire, Cyborg, and Cliff. All that remained was Mento, Nightwing, Raven, and Beast Boy, who was frantically looking for his kids.
"Katie, Kyle, Jake, Arella!" No answer. Please let them be okay. Then Raven went down, hit in the chest. "No!" Beast Boy cried as he saw her fall. The dust was thicker now, and he saw who had attacked her. A Brotherhood shock trooper stood in the doorway, then fell under one of Nightwing's concussion discs. The last thing Beast Boy saw before the world went dark was another trooper raising his rifle and firing, with two more troopers behind him.
Well, there you have it. The Titans and Doom Patrol have been captured, including four of the kids as well. Until the next chapter, Enter Mark and May!
