CHAPTER TEN:
Facing Brother Blood
"So what do we do with the body of no life?" asked Starfire.
"You talk very weird," said Raven.
"We leave the body here, and go find his boss. Some dude by the name of Brother Blood."
"Y… You're in luck," said Cyborg, struggling to get the words out due to his lack of power.
"Whoa you're still alive?" said Beast Boy.
"Ye… Yeah. Blood l-lives on the n-n-north side of town," he said with his voice drowning into a whisper. Two seven s-seven, east, eigh…" He ran out of power, and his blue parts lost their glow, and turned light gray.
"Eigh? What's eigh?" asked Beast Boy.
"Eighth," said Raven. "Two-seventy-seven east Eighth street."

"Sir?"
"Yes, Sean?" said Brother Blood.
"The police scanner's been going off about a suspected murder."
"So Emil did his job."
"Nope, exactly the opposite. And they found your address on his cell phone and are headed here."
"Get the guards armed immediately."
"Yes sir," said Sean before walking to the intercom. "Red alert, red alert! All guards grab your weapons and head for the lobby."
As the guards finished assembling in the lobby, a pure black circle crept onto the wall, increasing in size before everyone's eyes. Out of it came Robin, who kicked over a guard, elbowed one in the head, then punched one in the jaw. Following him was Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven. Beast Boy turned into a gorilla and started beating the guards with his fasts. Starfire batted some down with her bolts, and Raven used her spell, creating a large black belt that flew into every guards' head and knocked them out.
They heard footsteps and shouting making their way rapidly down the stairway. Everyone hid, Starfire being above the doorway to the stairs. And when Sean walked out, a handgun aimed from the end of his extended arm, she bopped him on the head with a bolt, and Raven caught Brother Blood in a black force field, that clearly showed the outline of his skinny body looking frantically around the bubble.
"So, the famous Brother Blood," said Robin. "Your attempt to get rid of us didn't work like you hoped it would did it?"
"More or less," said Blood.
"What was the point of that anyway?" asked Raven in a slightly pissed off tone.
"You're getting in the way of my project."
"Which is?" asked Beast Boy.
"None of your damn business.!"
"Language, language, language," said Robin. "Perfect to fit in with the guys you'll be with for the next ten to twenty years."
"You can't send me to prison, nobody has the brain to withstand my mental abilities."
"My cage does," said Raven.
"Oh, crap."
A police car appeared in front of the building, everyone heard doors open and close, than the police all entered the building, and stopped at the sight of Blood in a black spherical cage.
"You might want to reach in and cuff him," said Raven.
"Don't worry," said one of the officers. "We found out about his mental abilities when the FBI got blown to hell trying to arrest him. So we made this. They reached in and planted a helmet on his head. It was shaped like a bicycle helmet and decorated with twinkling red, green, and blue lights. "That'll keep him under control."
And as they hauled him away, he turned his head, grinned with an evil expression, and whispered in a scary tone, "I'll be back."

One eye activated automatically, the other followed and caught the sight of Starfire. "Is the robot man in the conscious?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm awake," answered Cyborg. He glanced around the room. "Where am I?"
"Depends," said Robin. "If you accept the offer I gave Starfire and Beast Boy," who were smiling as Robin said their names, "then you're at home."
"What do you mean?"
Robin handed out a small com-link. It was a small yellow circle with a yellow T in the center. "What do you say?"
"What's the name of our group?"
"The Teen Titans."
