Disclaimer: I don't own any 6teen or Teen Titan character. If I did I might just make Beast Boy purple XD *shrugs*.
On the way back to the tower Robin gets a call from Talia on his communicator.
"Robin is Toni alright? The last thing I saw was Toni and that huge dinosaur fighting...who was that by the way?"
"His name is Michael from what Toni told us; and she seems fine right now; she's just a little dazed. We are heading back to the tower now; we should be there soon. How are the teens doing?"
"They are doing just fine now that they know Toni is better… The boys are playing video games and listening to music"
"Don't let them touch my CD's!" Cyborg calls out from the background. Wyatt and Jude groan while Jonesy holds his hands up in mock surrender, backing away from the piles. Nikki walks up behind him and smacks him on the head; Jen and Caitlin laugh at his expense. Jonesy rubs his bluish hair and mutters. Talia shakes her head with an amused smile. She turns back to the screen.
"Just get here soon; I want to have a meeting about what's going on," she says. Robin nods through the communicator and shuts it off.
Talia watches as the screen goes blank and decides to text Luke and check in on her family.
"What?"
"Luke? Where's everyone?"
"Sleeping, we made it a lazy day."
"You guys had better have your homework done!" Talia pinches the bridge of her nose,"Was Arielle tucked in at least?"
"Duh!"
"You get in enough trouble, I was just checking in."
"We're all good here. Your friend Lexie came by; said something about her phone being dead so she couldn't message you about a school project."
"Thanks, I'll be home soon."
"Bye."
"See you later." And Talia puts her phone away. She turns around to see the Titans come into the room. Robin approaches her with an all serious expression.
"You think you have an idea on what's going on?"
"Yes, I think that the two battles are connected. First with rescuing me, and then the kidnapping of Toni; I think there is something big going on."
"I agree, these things just don't randomly occur; even in Jump City," remarks Raven monotonously.
"We need to do something about this then," says Cyborg.
"I'm with him on that one," agrees Paul with an edge in his voice. Toni moves away from Beast Boy's support and speaks up.
"We don't know how these two are connected and where they will lead. We need to get some clear cut evidence and investigate before we get too rash in this."
"I agree, I don't want anyone else to be in the kidnapping," says Starfire. Toni nods at Starfire gratefully.
"What do you think Robin?" she asks. Robin looks thoughtful and looks to the others.
"We go about this with stealth; we won't rush into anything and we'll get the facts. Until then, rest up." Robin shakes Talia's hand, "Thank you, Talia. You should come training with us sometime."
Talia reads his lips and nods, "Sounds good; I need to perfect my powers. Plus it would be something to stick in my brother's face if he decides to get into trouble again." Robin chuckles and says, "See you then and be careful!"
"Don't worry, I will." and Talia walks out of the door. Robin then looks at Toni with concern, "Why don't you go take a shower; Cyborg can change the water tempo to help ease any soreness from that arm. Then you can rest." Toni smiles gratefully at him.
"Thanks," she gives a small smile as Cyborg guides Toni out.
"Wait for me dude!" says an energetic Beast Boy. He scurries after the two; and Toni's laugh can be heard through the door. Starfire sighs happily andgoes over to Nikki, Jen, and Caitlin to talk. Robin turns to a spaced-out Paul.
"Are you going to be alright?"
Paul comes out of his stupor, "Yea, just thinking about what happened." Robin places a hand on Paul's shoulder.
"It's over now and Toni is here. She'll be fine," he says with a smile. Paul brightens up a little, "Yeah, that's true."
"So brighten up! i'm sure Jude and Wyatt over there need somebody to show them how it's done on a video game." Paul smirks and heads over to the couch, ready to blow off some steam. Jonesy managed to sneak over to the CDs...
Toni stepped into the shower; letting the heat sooth her muscles. Beast Boy and Cyborg were long gone, having showed her the buttons to push and fighting over who should have left out of the room first. Toni giggled at the recent memory of Beast Boy pushing Cyborg out of the room as a bull, huffing all the way. She lathered herself with shower gel, basking in the calming smell of vanilla.
'Bring those brats to me, puppet. I need them.'
Brother Blood wanted the teens. She didn't know why and she didn't care. She'd deliver them; she just didn't know how just yet.
'Think of me...'
Toni couldn't get Michael out of her head, literally. She was doing Michael's and Brother Blood's bidding...and she enjoyed it. She longed to feel his tousled red mohawk; she ached to feel his lips on her again. If only he were there...
Toni stepped out of the shower. She wrapped herself in a towel and grabbed for her black yoga pants. She slipped them on first and decided to pick a large, white t-shirt. She put the on and climbed into her bed. She sighed with contentment, turned on her side, and continued to think about Michael.
Warm hands danced on her side from behind. Toni's breath hitched as she slowly turned her head to meet a familiar shades-wearing bad boy. He smirked as his hand crept up her shirt, resting his hand on her stomach. He leaned down close enough to have their lips centimeters apart.
"How did you get in here?" she whispered.
"I'm a pro, sweetheart, I can get into anything."
"You could get caught," she states. He gives her a feverish, hard kiss; his tongue entering her mouth. She lets him explore gladly returning the favor. The two break away for air.
"That's the fun in it," he remarks. He kisses her again, this time straddling her.
Toni gasps, sitting up in the bed. Her hair stuck to her neck with sweat; she looked out towards the window and her eyes met with the moon. She sighed; she slept through the afternoon and no one woke her up. Toni sat up and stretched, feeling the sweet crack of bones.
Knock, Knock
She looks towards the door and goes to answer it; she comes face to face with Paul. He looks at her sheepishly when she gives him a questioning glance.
"I know we should have woken you up sooner, but I told them to give you the rest," he says scratching his head. Toni gives him a teasing smile, "Awwwwww how thoughtful of youuuu." She ruffles his hair and he swats away from her playfully.
"Where's everyone else?"
"Wyatt, Jude, Jen, and Caitlin went to bed. Jonesy and Nikki fell asleep on the couch from a movie. Raven has Starfire transfixed in a book. Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy are in the garage upgrading the T-Car. And here I am," he says with a shrug. Toni smile and proceeded to let him into the room when a thought came into her head.
'Meet me, now'
"I'm actually feeling up for a walk in the air since I slept for a part of the day," says Toni.
"Do you want me to go with you? After what happened…"
"Haha! I'll be fine silly. The guy will have to be pretty dumb to come after me twice, this time with my claws ready for him."
'You know where to find me, I'll be waiting my Delta.'
Paul laughs, "You're right about that one. Be careful Toni and don't stay out too late." Toni transforms into a black panther and rubs Paul's leg; she prances to the window and jumps out; the feathers of an eagle can be seen through the wind.
Paul looked at the space where Toni had been and sighed; every time he thinks he has the courage to say something, he shuts down. Paul exits out of the room, not knowing what to do next.
The air is crisp and cool as it blew through around Toni. She kept walking down the back alley until a pair of shades were seen glistening from the flickering lights. The figure leaning in a red shirt with flaming eagle under a black, leather jacket. He wears blue jeans with chains in the belt loops, Animatrix on wrist, and a pair of black headphones with white skulls on them. On his feet were a pair if black and red sneakers with spiked bottoms and fingerless gloves.
He walks up to Toni, who folds her arms. He smirks and trails a finger down her face.
"Sweet Delta, there are much plotting to make...let's begin," and he crushes his lips on hers.
In her bedroom, Talia was sleeping peacefully. Her butterfly pendant began to glow in a purple hue; causing Talia to move about in her bed. Her dreams begin to shift from peace to something disturbing...a dark, monotonous laugh haunting echoing in her head.
