You Only Live Once

Chapter 11: Rescue Mission

A/N: Here's what we've been waiting for (Actually like only three other people) But no matter! Its here! And I don't mean are first kiss between Robin and Starfire (Not yet that is). We'll dwell further into that relationship later on as well as some much needed BBXRae. No, were here to see Dick and Kori FINALLY get there asses saved by the team and get back to there crazy, teenage, super-ish hero adventures of non-stop comedy, drama and shitty teenager romance! Yep, on to the chapter!


Garfield flinched awkwardly as he moved around from foot to foot in his tight fitting hipster clothes. "Um, can I NOT dress as a hipster? How about as a movie maker or a super hero?"

"Absolutely not Garfield. We need as little attention while on this mission as possible! Do we really need creepers asking you to put them in movies?" Rachel said in a low voice.

The plan was simple, Vince would act like a steam punk obsessed punk while Garfield entered through the front posing as a hipster looking for a good time. In the mean time, Rachel would sneak to the basement and find Richard and Kori while Garfield faked an injury and drew everyone's attention towards himself. Vince would then speak up and offer to take the seemingly bleeding Garfield (Or Fred as he choose as his code name) to the hospital. The team would then meet up at Silkies temporary nest and take off for the nearest place to practice Water bending (Turns out they fucked up, its Water bending first, not Air bending).


~TWO HOURS LATER~

Vince smiled as he waltzed through the crowded club, he couldn't help but be thankful that Jump was so far away from Gotham, otherwise he could have been recognized by someone, even in a polluted place like this. If he weren't trying to save two of his friends, he'd be probably trying harder to enjoy himself, but he wasn't, he had to act like his brother kicked him out of the house to get some fresh air and walked here to stay away from his older sibling. It was working so far, but the mechanical teenager doubted some how that something would go wrong, but he pushed the thought out of his head at once. It would be fine, he wasn't stupid to say 'What could go wrong', but he knew better then to worry himself.

Garfield winced as he readied the knife, Rachel could easily heal the wound using her bending, but it would still hurt like hell to cut a huge gash in his arm and say that he slipped up when trying to show of a move on a bar maid. He moved with ease as he dived through the crowd and stood in front of the bar counter.

"Sup." He said to a random maid. "Wanna see a trick?"

Without waiting for her answer, he flipped the knife into the air and 'Slipped' (He used the stone handle to cut himself) as he tried to catch it, the knife sunk into his pale painted skin as he screamed at an amazing volume that would definitely hurt to be near if you were right next to him.

"HELP HELP HELP! MY ARM! AHH!" Garfield screamed as he fell to the floor, people crowded around and screamed as they saw the bloody wound.

A man stood up. "My god, someone help this boy, he's bleeding heavily!" He yelled as he took charge of the situation, must have been a retired or off duty soldier.

Vince smirked inwardly as he picked the light boy up. "Fred! Oh shit! Don't worry man, I'll get you to a hospital soon!"

With that, Vince ran out the door as he posed as a worried friend, although, it was all true. Garfield was like his little, really annoying sometimes, little bro. It hurt Vince's heart as he knew all too well that Garfield was in extreme pain, he ran even faster as he neared Silkies nest, he would help Garfield.

He would never let him down.


~MEANWHILE~

Rachel flinched as she watched Garfield walk towards the bar counter with the knife in his coat sleeve, she felt terrible for the green boy, she knew that he must be terrified to even be thinking of doing this. But he'd do it because he refused to let Slade win, he wouldn't lose Kori, or even Dick for that matter. Garfield had gone through a lot in his life and Rachel was right there with him through most of it, she'd seen him cry, lie, attempt suicide, runaway from home, and even break apart in front of her. She felt even worse as she remembered those dark green eyes staring into her violet eyes as he held a knife to his own neck, that had been a mere two years ago, yet the image was still fresh in her mind as if it had happened seconds ago. But she had no time for depressing flashbacks right now, she still had to keep walking down these stone stairs leading to Slade's base as she tries not to hear Garfield scream in pure pain and the thud of his weakening body hitting the floor of a littered dance floor.

As Rachel waltzed down the stairs, she could clearly hear Kori's soft voice as she cried loudly, Rachel quicken her pace. The base itself wasn't as big as Rachel had expected, but it would still be a challenge to get in and out without being noticed. The basement base looked like and other basement for a club or convenience store, but the sound of Kori's panicked cries terminated any second thoughts as Rachel ran to the thankfully unguarded door that opened to a pitch black room that had dried blood covering the walls.

'Please don't let that be Kori's.' Rachel thought as she sunk down next to Kori's sobbing form.

Rachel hugged the girl gently. "Its okay, Kori. Were here to save you and Dick. Calm down."

"H-h-he beat him. D-Dick... he tried to shield me from him... He's gonna die Rachel!" Kori sobbed as she clutched the water bender desperately.

Rachel growled , Dick was there youngest, she blamed herself for letting Slade take him and Kori as she comforted the Avatar. "How beat him?" She asked, though she had a good idea on the answer.

"Slade." Kori whispered as she jumped up. "HE WILL PAY!" Her eyes glowed a faint blue as she dashed down the hallway at a break neck speed.

"Kick him in the balls!" Rachel yelled as she ran after the girl in both fear and excitement. "Just don't kill him!"

As they neared the room, the smell of dried and fresh blood filled Rachel's nose as she halted next to Kori at the door, who's eyes were no longer glowing blue and were locked onto a terrifying sight. Rachel followed her gaze as her heart skipped a beat. Damn. Dick laid, thoroughly beaten in a corner as blood poured down from open cuts, he opened his eyes that were still masked as he smiled a toothy grin at the girls, as if to tell them that he'd be fine. Rachel didn't buy his bull shit as she crouched in front of the bleeding boy, who was in much more pain then he let on, Rachel wished secretly that she had brought water. But she didn't.

"Can you stand?" Rachel asked.

Richard smiled. "I'm not dying, of course I can walk!" He shouted.

As he stood, his legs gave out, Kori ran in and caught the now unconscious boy as she picked him up carefully. "Lets go!" Rachel yelled as she dashed out the doors-

Only to run straight into Slade. Fuck.

"Hello little girls, how are you doing?" Slade asked in a casual manner.

Rachel growled. "Were. Leaving." She dead panned.

Slade's answer was not what she expected. "Fine, i won't stop you."

"Really?" Kori asked.

"Of course, I'll have them back in no time, why not let them have there fun and go play there games. We WILL see each other again soon, children." Slade explained as he walked away.

By the time the trio were at Silkies nest, Dick had woken up and fallen back asleep twice. Also, they were ready to pass out by the time they got back. as they climbed the stairs of the abandoned that's roof was used as Silkies nest, Rachel smiled at Kori.

"So how does the Teen Titans sound as a team name?" She asked.
