Please forgive me for not updating sooner. Anyways, here's the next chapter for A Lost Man. This will be my last chapter for a while.
The Abandoned city of Paris
Raven didn't know what to say. She'd never seen Garfield this serious. His children, their children, were somewhere within this horrible fortress. Even though she didn't give birth to Kyle, Jake, and Arella, Raven felt that were her children. She knew Katie could take care of herself in most any situation, and if not for the fact that they were being held prisoner by the Brotherhood of Evil, she wouldn't fear for Katie's life. Mark and May were sure to have reached Cairo by now, and were doing their best to find them. Soon they'd escape, and the Brain would pay.
By this time, Garfield had stopped pacing and sat down at the far end of the dark, smelly, awful room. It was so dark outside, and this was supposed to be the city of lights. At least it was, until the quake of 2017, when the ground shook with awesome power, showing the full power of nature's fury. The ground shifted around, knocking over buildings, starting a thousand fires that engulfed the French capital, filling the skies with clouds of smoke that filled the air with poisonous fumes that choked the very life out of the once great city. In minutes, the city of lights had become the city of ruins, with thousands of people wounded, dying, or dead. The stench of death still lingered in the streets. In the aftermath of this great catastrophe, the French government decided to move their capital to Bordeaux. Instead of trying to rebuild their capital, it would be abandoned, never to have its streets flourish with life again. A perfect place for the Brotherhood to make their headquarters, summoning villains from all corners of the globe to join their cause. So lost in all this that he didn't notice Raven sitting down nest to him, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Oh Gar," she as worriedly, "what are we going to do?" He had never heard her sound worried before, and this scared him. Wrapping his arm around Raven's waist, he held her tight, as if letting go would mean to lose her forever. Having lost Terra to cancer, Beast Boy was going to make sure he didn't loose Raven, or else he'd lose the only woman he could ever truly love. Even when married to Terra, not a day went by when he didn't think about her, the one his heart had truly yearned for.
"I love you," he said, emerald eyes gazing at the tired daughter of Azarath. Her response was to kiss him gently on the lips, before drifting of to that peaceful land of slumber, where she didn't have to worry about the Brotherhood, crime, or any evil force out there. A land where she and Beast Boy would be together forever, with their children. It was not long before Beast Boy fell asleep, lost in his own thoughts, slowly succumbing to despair.
Torture Room
Mento fell to the floor. Jericho raised the shock staff and hit Mento on the head, effectively knocking him unconscious, possibly killing him. "Guards," he said calmly, "drag this worthless sack of meat back to his cell." With those words, two shock troopers dragged a bleeding and unconscious Mento out of the room. "That was satisfying." Who next? Ah, yes. "Guards," Jericho barked, "bring the man who killed my father."
Well, I couldn't put in as much as I wanted. See y'all in 2-3 weeks!
