"This is taking longer than I expected" Said Raven
"I told you to go and…" Started Beastboy, but he stopped when he saw Raven's face. "Alright, alright, you won't go, I get it! Then, let's talk about something! Silence makes me anxious"
"And what do you want to talk about, the weather?" answered the dark titan
"Did you find out what was causing you to lose control?" He inquired, ignoring her sarcastic comment
That surprised the girl. She didn't expect him to remember that conversation; it seemed like ages since it happened.
"I… I did" She answered without looking at him
"So… what was it?" The green kid questioned
"Well, it… it was… it's complicated" Raven replied, willing to change the subject
"With you it always is, isn't it?" Beastboy told
She didn't look. It hurt her, but he was right. She always thought she was bringing problems to the Titans all the time. She just had to remember Trigon or Malquior. Her face showed some sadness when the memory of Malquior crossed her mind and the kid saw it.
"Don't get me wrong, Rae! I mean, everything around you it's always a mystery, but I like that" He added with an honest smile.
"Let's keep doing this. We need to kick someone's butt" The violet-haired said determined
…
Out of nowhere, dozens of people arrived; they were armed with common tools. Most of them were teenagers, a few were young kids.
No one wanted to give the next step
"Blood's smart" thought the Titan's leader
"Robin, what are we going to do with the people?" Starfire inquired. She did not wanted to attack innocent people, but she knew they would attack them
"Disarm them, if you can avoid to attack directly, do it, but we must pass them fast" Robin ordered.
"Alright! Sorry kids!" Cyborg said, he wanted a real fight, but he was aware his fight was not with them
As if they heard the attack order, the people threw themselves at the titans. They fought with everything they had, even bites and nail scratching. It was hard for the titans to contain.
"Change of plan titans. Knock them without hurting them too much!" Robin yelled
"I am sorry innocent persons" Apologized Starfire before throwing some weak starbolts at them
Cyborg used his canyon against some walls, to separate the crazy crowd of them. Robin just jumped the people as if they were obstacles
Slowly, the people started backing up. They were not prepared for this attack. The three titans thought they might even have a chance now, but they felt guilty.
"Titans, move!" their leader commanded
"Can't stand this madness anymore! Where the hell is Blood?" Cyborg said annoyed as he got rid of some kids that were grabbing his leg
Again, there was a change in the mood. The improvised army stopped defending and moved into a long line next to the wall.
"Patience is a valuable quality you had never possessed, right Cyborg" A voice said from the darks. It was the person the team wanted to fight all these time.
"Blood, you will be begging us to return you to jail when we finish you" Robin told defiant
"Ah, insolence, it seems to be a disease with all of you teen heroes. I had the same problem with your young friend. Fortunately, he learned to respect after a few… lessons" Brother Blood said with an evil smile in his face
Everyone felt the fury invade them at the mention of Beastboy, but Starfire was the first one to attack.
Starbolts flew to the ex-headmaster as she said "You shall not attack my friends ever again"
Brother Blood almost fell. He recomposed and without hesitation attacked the alien girl with a strange weapon. She felt down and started twisting, screaming in pain
"Stop it!" Robin said, but he didn't attack.
Cyborg on the other hand threw everything he had at the man that stole his technology, he just avoided it.
"You are smart, Robin. You know what this is, don't you?" The man in the white robe said while he pointed Cyborg with the gun-like machine
"What do you want" The masked titan hissed looking at Starfire, who slowly got back to normal
"Simply my friend, I want you to leave me alone. I may even allow you to take my prisoner back, as much as I enjoy his company" The man said
"You are more stupid than you seem if you think we'll just let you go" Cyborg said and pointed the man with his arm
"Not a wise decision Cyborg" He said pushing slowly the button of his weapon
Suddenly it was evolved with dark energy and exploded
"I actually agree with Cyborg, you are more stupid than I thought" the pale, and angry, titan said
"Raven, I was wondering where were you" Brother Blood commented, like he was talking about the weather
"I was taking care of some business" The girl said with a triumphant smile
"Yeah, a business that have been waiting to kick your cyber butt" The green titan said.
"Beastboy! You are again you!" Starfire said excited
"Look at this! The whole team is reunited, how lovely it is. Let's see how much does it last" The half-robot man said at the same time the people returned to attacking positions, but they didn't moved
"Oh no! Not again!" Cyborg said, as he jumped to Blood
"How barbarian Cyborg! You should learn some manners" The man said as he shocked the titan.
"Titans, attack!" Robin ordered, thinking too much time had been wasted talking
Cygorg had just got up when the rest of the team threw everything they had to Brother Blood.
Robin used his boomerang to make him fall.
Raven forced him to stay in that position
A green lion and an angry alien were ready to attack him
Brother Blood seemed to lose control for the first time, he was weaker than before, that's for sure.
"Be careful, I may have this with me, and Beastboy knows contact with the substance is enough to cause a reaction" Brother Blood said showing a syringe to the team
"NO!" The green titan said afraid
"Is that what he's ben injecting you?" Raven asked.
"She saw the marks" the youngest titans thought
"Injecting? You don't know anything, do you?! I was sure you would have told them everything kid! Well, I see you have to catch up. Unfortunately, I can't stay. I must try this" The half-robot man said as he continued walking, escorted by a crowd of the youngest kids
"Bestboy, what is it?" Robin inquired, preparing to defend from a second attack
"A dangerous weapon. Until now, people just die, but it is supposed to turn them in… in something like me" He said with bitterness
But there was no time for explanations, The people were causing some explosions that could harm everyone there.
