A/N: Booya new chapter, shit goin down, things doing and what nots. Please read and enjow, oh and please review.
(Scarecrow's POV)
A giant T shaped tower eh? "These teenage crime fighters don't like to be subtle do they?" I ask mainly to myself. "Guess they don't fear the enemies' attacks. Well today they will." I state as my counterpart and I stand on the rocky shore of the small island.
"I'm not usually one to get into a partnership without knowing what's going on." He mutters. I can feel the tension in the air before he even utters the next sentence. "And I've waited long enough, so what exactly is your plan?" he queries standing with his arms crossed over his chest. He has been quite patient, but then again I have been quite generous with my payments.
"Just know this." I start thinking my words over briefly. "If I tell you to, grab one of them and make an escape." There, that should do well enough for this man.
Suddenly I feel a hand clutch my shoulder with a steel grip. "I don't follow orders." He barks at me, I turn back to him staring straight through him from behind my mask.
"Don't worry Mr. Slade, I just have a vision and I would appreciate your help." I eloquently put, however he doesn't loosen his hold. "And I'm the one paying you." As he releases me I turn full round to stare him down. "You're not use to employers accompanying you, are you?"
(Beast Boy's POV)
I know this is serious and all, but do you have to be so depressing about this whole explanation Robin? He's been informing us about this new bad guy named Scarecrow for about twenty minutes now.
"So this guy is a psychologist gone psychopath?" Cyborg asks half heartedly trying to state the obvious.
"If you want to simplify it, then yes." Robin replies crossing his arms giving his stern scowl. Starfire walks over to his side holding her hands close to her chest worry written all over her face. Why is there a bandage on her arm? I thought she just got hit with that fear gas stuff.
"So that toxin that this Scarecrow sprayed me with was made to make me 'die of fright'?" she makes small quotations with her fingers when stating the old saying. Robin just nods his head then looks over to me.
"And the liquid that hit Beast Boy was unstable." I quickly grin widely as all the others look at me. Nervous tick, whenever people stare at me when I'm not expecting it I just have to grin like an idiot. "If Crane has more of that he could put down the whole city."
"You said he likes to learn about his victims. Why would he want to put them into a coma?" Raven states and all eyes are back on Robin for the answer.
"He may get desperate. We have to find his base." He orders with his strong leadership. "And when we find it we hit him hard!" after he finishes he slams his fist into his palm, funny how such a small amount of words are actually encouraging.
Suddenly the room goes pitch black, followed shortly by a hum of the emergency power starting up. Slowly dim lights spark to life leaving an eerie greenish glow in the tower. As one of the lights close to me springs to life I notice a form standing next to me, at first thought I think it's Robin because they are thin. Then I notice this person is very tall and much thinner then Robin in. He's also all covered in burlap and an old pair of overalls. Wait a second that describes only one person.
"Boo!" Scarecrow yells and I yelp trying to make my way over to the boy wonder. I feel a bon thin hand grasp my wrist yanking me back, I act on the first response I have and morph into a sparrow flying across the room then changing back. I hear him laugh maniacally and I take a step back bumping into another tall body.
"Hello there." Slade too, dude my luck sucks! Suddenly my sight is shrouded and when I am able to see again I'm on the roof. I turn around to catch a glimpse of Raven before she teleports away.
(Robin's POV)
Luckily Raven could get Beast Boy out of here before anything bad happened; now we have to escape too. I swing a punch at Crane and he bends over backwards, Cyborg takes the given opportunity to kick the contortionist. Suddenly I see my mechanical friend being slammed into the wall by Slade, I lose concentration on my main target which costs me when he send a well placed kick to my bottom rib. I cough and hold my side; I could feel the bone almost snap from the sudden force.
"Robin!" I hear Starfire yell and before I know it she picks me up dragging me across the room away from Scarecrow. As she sets me down I look at her and give my orders.
"You have to get to the roof, this room is far too crowded." She nods her head and I charge once more for the doctor. In the middle of my rush I throw a flash disk, it explodes and I hear him scream. I take my chance sending my left knee into his chin and striking with my right leg to his side.
"Robin, you're all alone. What do you plan to do now?" I hear my nemesis as I stick my landing and turn in his direction. He's right; Raven must have grabbed Cyborg while I was attacking Jonathan. "Your friends left you here all alone." He continues, I take a quick reading of my surroundings. The door is blocked by Slade and if I make any sudden moves Crane could easily grab me.
"You scared yet?" I hear the doctor taunt, truthfully this does look pretty grim. "Ahead of schedule again, you have fallen behind since you left the bat." He remarks pulling an aerosol can out of his pocket.
I return my focus to the enemy of my past; I get into a ready stance and await the first strike. The time it takes feels like forever, agonizing and unpredictable. It feels like hours but I know better then to believe the illusion of fear. Then it happens, the first strike.
I hear the sound of metal crashing and Slade grunting. "Get away from him!" I hear the green changeling yell. He should have stayed on the roof. I swing a kick at the thin man in front of me; he twists in a strange fashion then jumps over me using my shoulder as leverage.
"Plan B!" he yells chuckling slightly; I whirl around just in time to get a view of Slade slamming his elbow down on Beast Boy's neck. The green boy falls to the ground limp. I growl and start at the two when I see Scarecrow holding the can up to my teammate's face. "Hold up." I stop in my tracks not wanting to temp the madman. "If I was going to gas your team I would have pumped the vents full of it." I grind my teeth holding back every urge to beat the man before me into a pulp. "Let's go." He states, Slade picks up my unconscious lover and runs out the door.
"Get back here!" I roar and chase after the masked man, before I make it to the door however I hear the familiar sound of compressed air being released. I feel the misty liquid and hold my breath as to not allow it into my system. Scarecrow kicks me to the floor and then retreats out of the room. Not much time passes and I see a shadow form over me; I look up to see Raven standing there.
"This'll help." She mumbles sticking me with a needle. I wince at the sudden stabbing in my shoulder. My vision blurs and then my eyelids feel heavy, the room starts to spin until darkness overcomes me.
Sunny skies and a green field, today is a good day. I wish there were some trees to climb; I always loved to climb them as a kid. I look over to the sleeping teen next to me and nudge his shoulder. "Hey Beast Boy, wake up." I softly order with a smile on my face, his only response is an incoherent mumbling. "Come on Gar." I repeat.
"Let's just nap dude, I'm tired." He replies and I give in knowing better then to try and argue with a fatigued Beast Boy. I wrap and arm around his toned frame feeling the warmth from his body on my forearm. As I inch closer I nuzzle into his back and he purrs quietly, I plant a kiss on the nape of his neck and he shivers. "I love you so much boy wonder." He mutters so softly that he's almost inaudible.
