CHAPTER 10 PART 2

SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT(please listin' to the song!)

"We're here?" Lightning asked in disbelief. "This is just a simple house."

"Yeah, Brother you're right. It looks just like the other houses beside it and across it."

"But guys, the device gave us these instructions and it brought us here."

"Beast Boy I'm not so sure about this anymore..."

The four teens dawning holo-rings and sunglasses stood before an ordinary looking house.

"I thought it would bring us to a factory," said Gar glumly. "Maybe the device is glitched, so we can't continue this project. Let's just pull it–"

But Lightning walked up the steps to the porch ignoring his brother's pleads to not do so. He turned the knob. it wasn't locked. "You Lackeys want to procrastinate, or make progress?"

"Brother, come down, we should listen to–"

"No," Gar said sensing an argument was about to start. "it's okay Thunder. In order to find answers and make progress we should do this. I don't think anyone lives here."

Kole hesitantly asked, "are you sure of that?" She frowned. "it would be a shame if we were to put ourselves in greater caution than we may already be in."

"Do you guys trust me?" Gar asked. "Be honest."

Lightning shrugged.

Thunder nodded. "Yeah, you're a voice of reason."

Kole smiled and clasped her hands. "Yes, I do as well. Absolutely."

"Okay," he pointed to the house, a smirk at his lips. "Then lets trespass."

Walking inside they didn't see anything out of the sorts. Just empty rooms there were.

No one hadn't even spoke, just walking around silently.

"This house looks more-so abandoned," said Gar peeling off a piece of ivory wallpaper that had been torn. "Doesn't seem like they left anything."

"We can check out the garage," suggested Kole. Swatting at a small spider that'd been crawling up her arm. "We've looked everywhere but there. Maybe we'll find duplicate devices like the one we have."

Thunder and Lightning just nodded, even when there attention was focused elsewhere.

"Diamond Girl, Little Green One, do you see that red blinking dot in the corner of the room?" Thunder asked pointing towards something that lay in the corner of the room.

Kole blinked two times. "No...Wait, I saw that blinking red light in one of the bedrooms." She turned and looked at Gar who's eyes widened.

"I saw that in the bathroom." He whispersed. "It looks familiar."

"It's probably nothing," said Lightning. "This house has probably been abandoned for years."

"But guys, seriously," Gar walked towards the small blinking dot. "It looks so familiar."

"Instead of worrying about that," said Kole. "Let's go see if there's anything in the garage."

"You guys look in the garage, I'll stay in here so I can figure out what these blinking lights are coming from." He moved closer to it. "What it is..."

"Okay, we'll probably be back quick," Kole said giving him a pat on the back. "We probably won't find anything interesting."

About when the Storm Twins and Kole entered the garage, Gar was still contemplating the dot.

It looked so freaking familiar!

Kole awed at the boxes. The old dusty boxes that occupied every shelf and corners of the floor in the garage. They weren't labeled, but they were indeed anxious to be opened and looked through.

So Kole had thought...

As Thunder and Lightning began to look through a couple of boxes, she did too. But they were the ones on the shelves. Taking one off the bottom of the shelf she set it down next to her feet. She took two other's and did the same thing. Sitting down, she sat crisscross apple sauce and began shuffling through the boxes after she tore the ambiguous duck tape from them.

At first, there only seemed to be a couple of photos of a couple dressed in military uniforms. They appeared to be happy and glowing. The young woman held in her arms a baby. Noting their appearances, the young man had blond hair and a shaven beard around his mouth. The young woman had dark brown hair and a tiny freckle on her cheek. Both their sets of teeth were a pearly white, smiling for the camera they were.

Looking through more of the photos she saw a lot with the couple and the baby. They were feeding him, helping him take a bath... And then that one baby was beginning to look older, and a second child came into the picture. A boy too.

Basically, what Kole was looking through was a timeline.

And the more she began to look through them the more the nagging feeling came to her. But how could it be him... When this was only a child she saw? But he indeed did look familiar.

"Brother, who would keep a gun in here?" Asked Thunder astounded. "Loaded."

Lightning took the weapon and looked at it, inspecting it. "You should be glad brother, I took gun lessons because if I hadn't, you would've known that it was in safe lock."

"You mean it isn't loaded?"

"No," Lightning aimed it towards him and daringly pulled the trigger. When he did, nothing came shooting out. "See?"

Thunder frowned, and shook his head furiously. "Brother if that gun wasn't safe or whatever you said it was, I could've died!"

His brother shrugged. "But you didn't. So... What's that in your hand?"

"A knife. With blood on it." He handed the knife to his brother.

"With blood on it?!" Lightning exclaimed as he quickly gave it back to his brother. "Then why are you giving it to me?!"

"Because I thought you'd wanted to see it?" Thunder said glumly.

"'See it,' Brother?" He shook his head and began searching through another box on the ground. "An imbecile you are!"

Kole would've said something to Thunder and Lightning about their outbursts, but right now her eyes widened in disbelief. Because she realised something that would come to spook her.

Kole knew who this little boy was, and who his father was too.

"Guys, we have to get out the house now!" She heard Gar from inside the house shout at that moment. "These are bombs, out...house ... Now!"

Run, the four titans did. Thunder managed to punch out the garage door that immediately led them out of the house. Kole knew that Gar had come out the front door, that's where he'd been, by the front, so no need to worry about him.

The second they threw themselves onto the grass was the same moment, there came an immediate explosion.

Heaving, they all sat up and stared at the house that had embers coming out of it.

"What the Hell," Cursed Lightning, "Was that?"

"It was this." Gar held up a mask. A mask equivalent to Slade's.

Kaarlinaa: thank you for the review, much appreciated. And keep high hopes because they might be worth it! :)

JasonVUK: Does it still seem like the potion stuff has had a negative effect? Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Slytherin- Hunter Of Artemis: I don't really know if Raven was surrendering. I mean, did it seem like she was surrendering? because... I don't know. I don't know why she would surrender. Do you think Jericho and Raven's relationship is a sham?

AStudyinEsmeWho: Well did you expect what came of chapter ten? Yeah, Raven probably feels lousy, but maybe not for long. Hopefully there will be more BBRae.

Anyway, thanks for all of the reviews, you are all lovely for taking a liking to this story. Will the couples have a happy ending? Any questions? Ah, they probably figured out Jericho! Darn! Also, keep in mind that BB took a potion, so there are perhaps side-effects, it may be the cause of his OOC-ness?
