Author's Note: Ladies and gentlemen. Reviewers of all ages. I have a very important announcement to make. Today is the day that I move away from my family. I am off to live with relatives while helping out in whatever way I can to aid my great grandfather. I do not know if I'll have internet access but I have no intention of stopping this story. My update times may suffer due to this though. Just thought I should let you all know. Sincerely, The Flying Frog
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, if I did I would not have canceled the show. I also dedicate this chapter to my friend and student D hurricane.
Dinner that night was a quiet affair. The smell from Beast Boy's toilet incident forced their hands. The smell was so bad that if they opened their mouths they could taste it. Not a pleasant experience. Beast Boy was rubbing his forehead slowly. "Dude this is so not cool."
"Tell me about it, you had to use your bathroom, the room of the person they want dead."
"Not that, well partly." Everyone looked up from the glop they called dinner. "Arsenals suit had been stolen."
The Titans looked into Arsenals suit theft and found that it was indeed Nicholas Galtry who had stolen it. It was a real sloppy job as he wasn't a professional thief. However he was skilled enough to keep from getting caught. The police searched his apartment, or what was left of it and could find nothing. Every trail the titans looked into, there was not trace of him. He had disappeared without a trace. What started out as a worry concerning Beast Boy's behavior now became the biggest concern of Cyborg's.
Beast Boy was not doing anything he had previously enjoyed. He looked up Galtry on the computer. He combed through every newspaper and tabloid he could find, he went over every piece of evidence they had found with other small time villains they had caught during his time as leader, looking for the possible 'connections.' He would ignore everyone who talked to him. But there was one person who could possibly get him out of his funk.
Back in Jump City Robin was reading the newspaper. Having had a difficult time with Prof. Chang being a two members down, they were lucky they got off as well as they did. Taking a sip of his coffee, he spit it out in surprise when the phone started ringing.
When there' trouble you know who to call.
TEEN TITANS
From their tower they can see it all
TEEN TITANS
"Hello?" Pushing the button which bought up the screen Cyborg's face filled it up. "Oh, hey Cyborg. How's thing's going?" On the screen he could see Cyborg visibly sigh, his forehead, well the part that wasn't metal, was covered in wrinkles, his electronic eye seemed to have lost some of its spark while his human eye looked exhausted. Overall he looked stressed.
"Man, do you remember Slade?" Red flags flew up in Robin's mind faster than you could say Titans Go.
"What! Is he there, how bad is the damage, is everyone all right!?!"
"Man don't jump the gun on me. Slade isn't here. I should have said, do you remember your obsession with Slade?" Oh. What did that have to do with anything? "Man I see you thinking so that means you do. Anyway we are dealing with a villain here that Beast Boy is obsessed with. I'm not talking about a you and Slade relationship. He takes it to a whole 'nother level." A few of the red flags that went down were zooming back up. Beast Boy wouldn't get obsessed even with Adonis who shared his symptom of the chemical accident, their beasts. Whoever this villain was had to be out there in the extreme. "Beast Boy and this Galtry seem to know each other from long ago Robin. Beast Boy won't give us any information on him though. He'll barely talk to us. He's hardly sleeping, doesn't eat! I'm worried about the grass stain."
This wasn't good. Robin knew how unhealthy it was to have a long term obsession, but he still talked to his friends when he was in obsessive mode. Well he talked to Starfire. Based off of what Cyborg told him, it wouldn't be long before Beast Boy did something that rivaled the creation of Red X. To heck with Jump City, his friend needed him. The Titans East could cover for them for a few days. It would probably do Raven some good too.
Robin couldn't help but smile at the thought of Raven. Ever since Beast Boy left she was more insular than she had been before. She was snapping left and right at everyone, almost always calling them Beast Boy, then quickly corrected herself. Yet she still remained adamant about not having feelings for him.
"Cyborg, we're on our way. We should be there by tomorrow. Please don't tell Beast Boy. I want" He grinned slightly "I want Raven coming to be a surprise for him. She could talk him out of his funk. She always could." Cyborg got that glint in his eye again. It was good for that, but what did it mean this time?
"Man, are you sure you want to bring Raven?" A photo filled the screen, a green gorilla was carrying Argent bridal style away from a wreckage. It looked very romantic considering the destruction around everything. "Maybe I should alter the photo a little. Make a bed, rose peddals, the works."
"Cyborg, is something going on between Beast Boy and Argent!" Cyborg, now on the screen, waved his hands like crazy in front of him.
"No man! I took this after the T ship broke through the ceiling because of the damage. Beast Boy simply got Argent out of the ship is all. Though you should see Jericho's picture. He got the perfect angle so it looks like they really are a couple." Robin sighed in relief. If Raven saw that picture there would be hell to pay. "But it looks like Argent is beginning to feel something for the grass stain." It was good for Raven that...wait a second.
"Cyborg, did I just hear you right? Did I hear you say that Argent is beginning to feel something for Beast Boy?"
Cyborgs grin grew bigger as their conversation went on. "Man, if you were here you would say the exact same thing. She is always volunteering to talk to Beast Boy. She blushes when his name is mentioned...though that could be because he almost saw down her shirt the other day...but that's besides the point!" Robin gritted his teeth together. The last thing he needed was dealing with a love triangle.
"When he almost saw down her shirt Cyborg...was that your doing?" Cyborg stopped gloating for a few seconds.
"It couldn't have had anything to do with me...could it?" He asked in a way that it looked like he was seeing how it sounded. "I mean man, true the original prank may have been my idea...but..." Robin's grin began growing. Cyborg sure could ramble when trying to think of something to say. But when he did that computer processor he had for a brain could come up with the most logical explanations for the most illogical conclusions. "The whole prank didn't work as expected! Argent had agreed to help but the whole thing fell apart and I think she did it on purpose! The prank fell apart before it got started. I may have attempted to start it but if Jericho hadn't walked into the room and startles us and all..." Robin sighed to himself, this was going to be a long day.
