I do NOT own Teen Titans
Notes and replied to comments:
The villains resume their activities in Jump City. Read and see how well it goes for them.
Aeopie's people as doctors for the Tamaranians. Interesting idea. Technically, give how tough they are, they would only need doctors in a very few special cases like Starfire's where she can't get pregnant because Robin is a human. But then again, perhaps their people as a whole can use doctors.
Speaking of going to Nevermore for privacy. Would BBxEmoticlone be cheating? Technically they're still Raven. Not something I'll write, but would it? Still, I doubt Raven would be too pleased.
Power corrupt absolutely, but Aeopie's people have a good counter to that corruption. They can feel the pain of the people they hurt. That might be the only way to avoid such power corrupting. Raven can sense emotions so if she uses her empathic senses she might be able to refrain from becoming corrupt, and keep Beast Boy on the straight and narrow. Hopefully.
Yeah. The only way for Beast Boy to get Raven pregnant would be to use his powers in a certain way. That might get added or not, though I'll probably describe the process he would use so she'll get a chuckle out of it.
Time: Two days later.
Yikes! It's a Really Bad Day to be a Villain,... The Attempt,... Dire News,...
An alarm brought them out of their deep contented sleep.
"Mmmm." Aeopie struggled beneath her blankets. "What is it?" She asked with her head finally free.
"A villain." Beast Boy told her, wondering what he should do. Technically he wasn't a Titan, but fighting such criminals was in his blood and he desperately wanted to race to the scene of the crime. But how can I leave Aeopie alone? Someone might attack the tower while I'm gone. The shape shifter frowned.
"Stay where you are." Raven stated, looking at the small girl. "We're going to be gone for a bit, but I'll still be keeping tabs on you."
"Okay." The telepath replied without hesitation, picking up on the seriousness of the order. "Don't be gone too long." Her voice held a hint of worry.
"We'll try not to." The violet-haired woman smiled at the sleepy girl, and then, grabbing Beast Boy by the arm, she teleported them both to the commons room of the tower. "She's nine and we're only going to be gone for a short time." She told him. "And it's not like we're out of touch. I can still sense her."
"Okay." The shape shifter moved to the back of the room as the others rushed in. Starfire, he noted was absent.
"It's Adonis." Robin said, studying a display. "He's robbing a bank just a few miles away. Nineteenth Whiskey Street.
Boy Wonder, along with Cyborg and Jinx, raced for the T-car while Raven teleported her and Beast Boy to the roof.
"Guess the break from villains is over." She mused, forming a black disc beneath both their feet.
"Seems so. But then Jump City is the only place that had a break." Beast Boy pointed out. "The Joker reappeared in Gotham as soon as the silver minion were defeated." He stumbled a little as the disc rose through the air, and found his hand grabbed by the violet-eyed girl.
They followed the T-car, timing things so they would reach the scene of crime together. It slowed the two air-born heroes down a little, but it meant they would arrive and be able to fight as a group. There was little worry the villain would flee; it was like they waited around until the last moment hoping for a fight.
Below them the T-car came to a screeching halt just as the giant red-clad figure of Adonis was leaving the bank. He had several bags of cash in one hand while the other was held up to protect his head from various flying objects.
"No. I don't want to go on a date with you." A cute redhead yelled from the shattered bank window. She threw a can of soda at the robber. Slipping through his hands, it violently smashed into the metal helmet protecting his head. Exploding on impact, the cherry-flavored soda flowed down to cover the front of his face. The woman turned and started pushing change into a near-by vending machine, getting another deadly projectile.
"Jerk." A brunette screamed. "Who would want to date a creep like you?" She jumped through the window and took a can of mace from her purse. Preparing to spray the towering figure she must've realized how futile that was. Instead she threw it, striking the front of his helmet where the can burst. It seemed the battle suit wasn't air tight, and the villain let out a scream. He stumbled around and tripped over his own two feet.
"I don't swing that way." An effeminate looking man with long hair screamed, as he picked up a trash receptacle and started hitting the downed robber with it.
"Dude! I didn't know. The long hair..." The would be villain cried as his arms flailed aimlessly around in the air. Between the soda covering the front of his helmet and the mace it seemed Adonis had been rendered blind.
"Huh?" Raven said watching. "This might turned from a capture the villain mission to rescue the villain mission."
"So it would seem." Beast Boy agreed.
"Hit on me and then try hitting on my sister right in front of me." A voice came from above, causing the two heroes to look up. A trolley with a sizeable safe that must've weighed half a ton came flying out of the sixth-story window. Two identical blonds peered out, looking down. The edge of the deadly object hit the villain at around fifty miles per hour, sending him crashing back to the ground.
"Ouch." Raven commented.
Beast Boy just gulped.
"My daughter is just sixteen you pervert." The voice of an older sounder woman came from somewhere.
"But mon. He's a supervillain. It'll be cool to date him." A younger voice whined.
"Honey. He's no better than those silver minion things."
"Oh." The younger voice sounded thoughtful. "Kill the creep." She added with her tone suddenly glacial cold.
A steel door open and a heavily armored van raced out, hitting at least sixty miles per hour before it slammed into the villain who'd just managed to regain his feet. Air bags exploded inside the van, but the fortyish looking woman just peered around it and backed up. She rammed the would be bank robber again.
"At what age should we let Aeopie start dating?" Beast Boy mused. "Twenty?"
"A bit earlier than that I would think." Raven smiled. "Remember, by that time no one is going to be pushing her around."
"True. I suppose nineteen-and-a-half would be okay if it's chaperoned." The shape shifter didn't sound as if he would budge any further."
"We'll talk about it." The violet-haired girl replied with her smile widening.
Assuming they haven't fixed that law by them. They both thought, hoping the change would be a long time coming.
"I don't even like guys you idiot." A shrill voice drew their attention. "Can't you read moron?" A twentyish looking brunette pointed at her 'I LOVE GIRLS' t-shirt. In her other hand an extension cord sparkled. She rushed out and jammed the cord between the legs of the would be thief. A scream from inside the battle armor told them the suit wasn't too well fortified against electricity.
"Holy fu..." Raven spoke, eyes wide.
"Ouch." Beast Boy cringed. "Are those people nuts?" He paused. "No pun intended." He added.
"If we don't do something soon the only nuts he'll have left are the ones he got for brains." The girl beside him said, suddenly more serious.
"True. But I'm afraid to go down there." The shape shifter replied, watching as the woman tossing cans of soda threw perhaps the twentieth one of the battle. She was really fast with the vending machine, and had made sure the villain's helmet would need a good cleaning before he could see again. A black-haired teenage girl rushed into the fray long enough to use a spray can to paint a bulls-eye on the would be villain's behind. She withdrew as she was splattered with soda, complaining about her new shirt being ruined.
"Me too. So I'm staying up here." Raven admitted, and drew her cloak around herself as if for protection. She reached down with her dark magic, and lifted the battered villain off the ground just before the armored van could ram him a fifth time. From the sixth floor another safe came flying down, bashing the defeated villain in the head with the sharp edge of one corner. Sparks came from his groin area where the extension cord seemed to have fused itself to his suit.
The woman with the mace had in the meantime been using a second can on the downed villain. She screamed in rage as her prey was stolen from her. The can went flying and nearly hit the heroes. Beast Boy simply grabbed it from the air with one hand, and tossed it back to the ground. with enough force to cause it to explode.
The violet-eyed girl strained to lift the heavy suit and for a second was foiled by the still sparkling heavy-duty extension cord. In the bank it must've been finally pulled free from the socket, and the would be villain quickly rose in the air. At thirty feet she relaxed. For the most part the people on the ground could no longer reach the battered bank robber. A can of soda was flung upward, but it missed by several feet.
"Who would've thought that battle suit could be taken down by civilians." Raven said with her voice showing the strain of lifting the massive contraption.
"Their first shot was lucky." Beast Boy explained. "That cherry soda covered the visor on his helmet and he was left blind."
"So where do I drop him?" She wondered aloud.
"The prison?"
"It's ten miles from here. You mean I got to lug this all that way?"
"Hrm. Give me a second." He changed into the Tamaranian version two form and sent starbolts at the dangling bank robber. Enhanced by his massive size, and fueled by the pure emotion of the beast, they lashed forth like blast of lightning from the heavens. The battle suit their foe wore shattered and started to fall apart. Beast Boy was extremely careful not to further harm the unconscious form within as he sliced the heavy titanium armor from him.
"Better?" He asked a few minutes later, resuming his human form.
"Very. Thanks." She smiled at him and his heart raced.
Twenty minutes later they dropped Adonis off at the prison infirmary. He was pretty battered, and wouldn't be interested in sex for a while, but would otherwise be okay.
"That was different." Jinx mused when they returned to the tower. "I didn't bother to hit him with any hexes. I figured he was having enough bad luck already." She paused. "Seeing that makes me really glad I gave up the business. It would be embarrassing to be a villain and need rescuing like that."
"I know he tried to rob the bank but the extension cord to the privates was a bit too much." Cyborg shuddered.
"Very." Robin was pale.
"Later." Raven intoned, and teleported her and Beast Boy back to her room. Immediately she turned to check on Aeopie.
"Everything okay." The orange-eyed girl asked with a worried expression.
"Of course." The violet-haired girl knelt beside the head that was still the only thing poking out of the orange mountain. "We do stuff like that all the time."
"Oh." The small telepath blushed. "I knew that. I just ..."
"I know. But it's mostly minor villains we fight here." Raven reassured the girl. "Back to sleep." She ordered, bending down to give her a tiny hug. It was something new, but she'd learned just how much affection was vital to the girl's health. Besides, she'd found she liked hugging the telepath. Doing so calmed all her negative emotions, keeping her powers in check. It made her feel warm and happy, and very protective.
Aeopie smiled. "Okay." She started wiggling, sinking deeper into the mass of blankets.
"Wait." Beast Boy knelt beside the girl and easily pulled her free from the colossal mass. "If we're gone, and someone comes here we'll show you where to go. Okay?"
Aeopie clung to him and nodded. "Okay."
They took her down to the safe room that'd been built when Slade was leading Trigon's army in an effort to capture Raven. It was designed to withstand nearly anything, and even had mystical wards against magic. It was the safest place in the tower. Or the whole city for that matter.
"If you sense any bad guys when we're gone, or even if we're still here but busy, then come here." The shape shifter instructed the girl and showed her how to lock the door and activate the security system.
She nodded, clearly sleepy but still paying avid attention.
The alarm sounded again, and Beast Boy tossed the girl into the chamber. "Give it a practice run." He told her.
"Okay." She yawned, and turned on the security system.
"See you in a bit." Raven told the girl, giving her another small hug before the door closed. Turning, she grabbed Beast Boy by the arm once more and teleported them to the commons room.
"What is it this time?" She asked, seeing Robin and Cyborg already in front of a monitor.
"Billy Numerous." Cyborg replied. "He's hitting a construction site on Seventeenth Western Street."
They took off. Jinx entered the room and raced with Robin and Cyborg to the T-car. Raven teleported herself with Beast Boy to the roof again.
"The break from villains is definitely over." She said, creating a disc for them to ride on.
"Billy Numerous. He could be bad. Strong, tough, and there can be two hundred of him when he wants there to be." The shape shifter said, frowning as he looked back towards the tower. She's in a safe place. He told himself.
Raven took a worried glance back too; she had to resist a desire to turn around and check on the girl once more. I can sense her. The violet-eyed girl told herself. I'll know if anything goes wrong and can get back there in minutes. She focused, and the disc continued to follow the T-car.
They arrived at the construction site for a fifty story apartment building that when completed would have over a thousand units capable of comfortably housing two to three people each. Given the desperate need for such places efforts were being made to rush its completion. As such, there were over two thousand workers on the site busy at various tasks.
"Go away." A grizzled old man of about seventy roared down at a red-clad figure.
"No can do." A jovial voice roared back. "I need this stuff for my own little project. Going to make myself a lair." Billy Numerous looked thoughtful. "I don't suppose you want a job?" He asked.
"I already got one." The man yelled down. "Now go away."
"Sorry. I'll be taking your building now."
"You and what army?"
"I'm Billy Numerous. I'm my own army." The villain exploded into nearly two hundred different copies of himself. "Nobody outnumber Billy Numerous." One of them exclaimed.
"Really. You seemed to have missed one little fact." The grizzled old man roared back down.
"What's that?"
"There're over two thousand of us on the site. Get off now. No one stops my workers when I got a schedule to keep."
"I'm super strong. Each of my clones is worth ten of your men." The confident villain called back with his voice still sounding good-natured.
"There's one other little detail you've seemed to have missed." The man who seemed to be manager of the site declared, running out of patience.
"What's that?" Billy Numerous' exuberant voice called up.
"We got the high ground." The grizzled old man easily lifted a fifty pound box of twelve-inch nails and emptied it over the ground. Suddenly a hundred and fifty lethal projectiles with diamond points lashed downward, hitting a hundred and ten miles per hour before they impaled everything below them.
"Holy cow, that's dangerous." A number of clones exclaimed, leaping away from the onslaught. Some were impaled, though none fatally so. They vanished as they were absorbed by the rest.
"It seems to be a bad day to be a villain in this city." Raven noted, sending her disc flashing away from the deadly hail of miniature diamond-tipped spears.
"I would say." Beast Boy gulped. "I wonder what would happen if some of his clones died."
"Rather not find out." The girl replied. Once again she prepared to send the disc down to start fighting the numerous foes below. Face going white, she flung it back once again.
Having seen what their leader had done, the construction workers were hefting large boxes of nails and spikes over the sides of the building. The ground below was saturated with wave after wave of the life-threatening hail. Many of the Billy Numerous clones disappeared. Thankfully, being super strong and tough, none seemed to be dying. However, at a certain point their injuries caused them to be reabsorbed by the others. A large building required a massive amount of construction materials, and in all over three million of the deadly projectiles were used to devastating affect.
"Yikes." Raven gulped, eyes wide at the devastation.
"Another mess I'm afraid to wade into." Beast Boy mused. "You know, I'm not feeling much like a hero today."
"That goes for both of us. Some of those spikes missed us by inches." The violet-eyed girl pointed down.
The shape shifter looked and saw the top ends of three nails in the disc where they'd impaled themselves. "Close." He calmly replied, not feeling at all calm.
They turned back towards the construction site. Nails weren't the only things being dropped. There were a number of cranes, and whatever they'd been lifting was now being allowed to hurtled downward at a lethal velocity. Huge metal beams weighing tons smashed down to dig craters into the ground. Packaging on huge bundles of tiles was ripped open and the slabs of ceramic weapons proved even deadlier than the nails. They caught the air, and sliced through it in every which direction, meaning no place was safe.
Raven pulled back from the site and created a shield around the two of them. Dozens of the sharp-edged, ceramic weapons shattered against it. Below they saw the other three had yet to leave the T-car. Rather the battered vehicle was following suit and pulling back from the battle scene as well. They turned to watch the fight, noting there were less than a hundred clones left. They looked shell-shocked and many were injured.
The mayhem continued as cans of paint rained down. There were fewer such projectiles, but they splattered on impact, blinding over thirty of the clones. Then, with most of their long-ranged weaponry used up, the workers took to the ground. The blind clones were handled with nail guns, and Billy Numerous' numbers fell to less than fifty.
Next large trucks able to carry tens of tons of equipment hurled into action where the ground was firm enough to allow them. Other smaller vehicles covered other areas. The vehicles were no match for the remaining clones who were super strong, but they were merely a distraction. As the villains were dealing with them, dozens of men equiped with steel bars and nail guns surrounded each of them and laid out a ruinous amount of damage.
"Less than twenty left." Raven commented.
"Nothing raining down from the top of the building now." Beast Boy commented, looking fearfully upward. "Might be safe to grab him."
"Will have to soon." The girl frowned. "He's running out of clones and if they kill the last one it's good-bye Billy Numerous."
"At least they haven't struck any of his ... hrm ... more vital parts yet." The shape shifter noted, feeling a little relieved. He looked around. "Drop the ones that're left into that bin." He pointed at a huge waste container. "Then lift them out in that."
She did so. By the time she had them all in the bin there were only five of them left. The violet-haired girl lifted the five villains in their new resting place, and flew off a short distance. Dropping the bin she prepared to pummel them until they returned to one. There was no need. All that remained when they checked was a single unconscious, and very badly wounded, Billy Numerous.
At the prison infirmary he was diagnosed with enough injuries that they sent him directly to the hospital. There were no worries about him escaping for a few days. Before he healed a little he wouldn't even be walking. In a few weeks he might be ready to go back to prison.
"My car." Cyborg sobbed as they landed next to the rest of the team.
Beast Boy studied the vehicle. It had several thousand small dents where a hail of diamond-tipped nails had hit it. The roof was caved in slightly where a steel beam of considerable weight must've come crashing down. All four tires were flat, and the front windshield was cracked. Good thing that car is able to take a beating. The shape shifter thought with a gulp.
"Now now darling. We'll fix it." Jinx comforted her boyfriend. She stood on the tip of her toes and whispered something in his ear and the cybernetic teen blushed.
Beast Boy looked the other way, pretending his didn't hear. Having checked to make sure they were okay he was about to rush back to the tower with Raven when the communicator's the team wore started beeping again.
"It better not be another villain that needs rescuing." Robin muttered.
It turned out Plasmus was roaming the city, and had started terrorizing people as he consumed several trucks carrying toxic waste. The monster wasn't faring well, and had just reverted back to his sleeping human form when the Titans arrived barely in time to rescue him. More than two hundred firefighters had fifty water hoses going, and the powerful beams of high-pressure water had ripped the poor creature to shreds, washing away the plasma that allowed it to retain its inhuman form. The now sleeping villain had been about to be badly hurt by the assault when Raven reached down to pull him to safety.
"Another villain saved." Boy wonder muttered. "I didn't sign up for this."
"Actually I'm the only one doing any work here." Raven pointed out, having been the one to pull all three of the criminals to safety.
"If this keeps up I'll be back to using my hexes against ordinary people." Jinx mused with a frown. "Can one be a hero if they only save villains instead of fighting them?" She asked.
"I'm going to have to alter my cannon so it only disorientates people." Cyborg mused with his eyes still on the disfigured T-car. To get to Plasmus he'd had to drive it with the tired flat.
"Lets get ba..." Raven froze and turned to stare at the tower. She now possessed four red eyes. "Aeopie." She simply said in a demonic tone, and then she and Beast Boy were hurling towards the building at record speed.
"What's happening?" The shape shifter asked, white-faced.
"Gordanians." Came the demonic reply.
As the disc rose slightly higher Beast Boy looked and saw a Gordanian destroyer fire its particle beam point-blank into the tower. Immediately he was in his Tamarian version two form, leaping ahead. The safe room Aeopie was in was built to withstand almost anything, but the weapon of such a ship could take out a city. He paled and rushed faster. Their only hope was that the weapon had not been fired at full power.
A second later the shape shifter saw five silver minion leaving the building; one of whom carried the young telepath who was unconscious. At least he hoped she was only unconscious. Careful not to hit the girl he sent forth starbolts, finding it very easy to summon the righteous fury they required. The robotic minions were designed to soak up damage, but they weren't designed to handle him. For one he massed nearly three times what a normal Tamaranian would, and even if emotions were the main driver of the race's power size still played a role. Then there was the fact he could feel the beast inside, and it was pure fury combined with righteous rage. The silver minion he aimed for stopped beneath the onslaught of dozens of massive bolts of pure energy thrown in the space of a few seconds; its shield were unable to cope with the sudden onslaught and it exploded.
Beast Boy tried to grab the girl from the one who carried her only to have two of the remaining foes stand between them. They sent pulses of sound at him, and he felt his bones rattle. More starbolts took care of one of them, and he started to turn on the third.
Raven appeared beside the shape shifter, having teleported the remaining distance. With eyes glowing red her power lashed forth. This time there was no fear of it running out of control as she focused only on the foe who stood between her and Aeopie. The material of the silver minion tried to resist her power so she cheated. The powerful half demon didn't try to pound the durable machine into submission; instead she simply grabbed a large two ton boulder and teleported with it. She appeared inches from the cybernetic contraption with the massive object she'd carried with her now inside it. Just as quickly she moved away and raised a shield as a massive explosion left nothing of her opponent standing. If I'd thought of this back when they first appeared ... She pushed the thought aside.
The remaining two silver minion were almost inside the ship. One of them turned to delay the enraged protectors of the girl. It lasted all of two seconds as the shape shifter unleashed more starbolts at it. However it'd served its purpose. The young telepath was now in the rapidly ascending ship.
Raven reached out and pulled Beast Boy close to her. Then she strained as she carried them to the vessel that was already several miles away. They appeared on the bridge.
"Stop!" A large blue reptilian figure ordered, holding the girl in one hand. In the other was some sort of weapons that was in the process of being raised.
The shape shifter only saw the girl and weapon being raised towards her. Immediately starbolts rained from his hands, shattering the legs and arms of the would be kidnapper.
Raven reflexively reached out with her dark magic and drew the girl to her.
"Get her out of here." Beast Boy ordered.
"You ..." She started to say as twenty Gordanians moved towards a them.
"I'm going to have some fun." He grinned viciously as he interrupted her.
The half demon nodded, and in several jumps took her and the girl back to the tower.
Starbolts poured from the hands of the enraged green-skinned Tamaranian, and the Gordanians found themselves forced to flee the bridge with arms and legs shattered. Some ran, some crawled, but soon the room was empty. It took all of the inflamed shape shifter's control not to kill. In his mind he saw dead bodies that covered the place in blood. Barely, he refrained from making that vision a reality.
Beast Boy smiled with a frightening grin, knowing that the Gordanians would try to retake the bridge; that they would soon come prepared with weapons, and might even succeed. Can't have that. The shape shifter mused as his mind carefully analyzed the situation through the rage he felt.
"Ship. Set course for Sol. Minimum speed." He coldly ordered.
"Order will result in destruction of ship." A mechanical voice replied.
The shape shifter calmly rephrased the order. "Ship. Override safety measures. Set course for Sol. Minimum speed."
"Course set. Will reach destination in two minutes." The mechanical voice replied. "Note order will result in destruction of ship."
Waiting, the shape shifter heard a siren-like sound echo throughout the ship. He only had to hold the bridge for two minutes, then the would be kidnappers would be forced to flee or die. He didn't really care which they chose; it was their decision.
"We'll all die." A voice roared from the doorway. "You're bluffing."
"I'm in the form of a Tamaranian." Beast Boy replied as he sent starbolts at the figure. "You'll be all dead before I'm in any danger." He focused on boundless confidence and found it easy. In his furor he knew there could only be victory. He sent starbolts through the doorway as the Gordanians tried to retake the bridge. A number of them wore armor and took some effort to send fleeing, but they'd had only a short time to prepare and were in rush. They had no chance to stop and plan their assault. In the end he was left standing alone on the bridge once again.
"Warning: Twenty second to impact with star Sol." A mechanical voice warned.
The shape shifter waited and heard the sound of dozens of escape pods being launched. He turn and raise the unconscious captain to toss him into one as well.
"Ship. Report number of prisoner's in brig." Beast Boy suddenly frantically gulped, recalling how he'd found Aeopie in the first place.
"Zero prisoners." The vessel intoned, and the shape shifter closed his eyes briefly, glad he hadn't killed any innocents.
"Warning: Fifteen seconds to impact with star Sol." The mechanical voice warned.
Beast Boy grinned as he heard the sound of more pods being launched. Some of the aliens had remained behind, thinking he would stop the ship when he'd believed they'd all left.
"Warning: Ten seconds to impact with star Sol." The mechanical voice warned.
The shape shifter remained still, feeling the radiation on his skin. It'd long passed the point where it would be lethal to even an ordinary Tamaranian, but his skin was several times thicker, and his confidence was soaring which added to its durability.
"Warning: Five seconds to impact with star Sol." The mechanical voice warned.
"Ship. Full stop." The shape shifter ordered, feeling a little woozy. Even he was feeling the affects of the radiation now; there could be nothing else left alive aboard the ship.
"Stopped." The impassively mechanical tone replied.
"Ship. Return to previous location at full speed."
"Order completed." Came the nearly immediate reply.
"Ship. Fire on any Gordanian who attempts to board. Auxiliary weapons only."
"Order acknowledged."
Beast Boy immediately fled the ship and sought out Raven and Aeopie. He found them in the commons room with Robin and Cyborg looking anxiously on. Jinx was standing back a distance, obviously afraid she might accidentally cause the small girl bad luck and hurt her.
"She's okay." Raven intoned, emotionally drained. "They drugged her. I'm removing the drug from her system."
The shape shifter collapsed to the floor beside them, eyes closed as the terror that'd been consuming him faded. He too was emotionally drained. "Tell the Tamaranians there's a new ship for them to use." He intoned, reaching out to grab the hand of the small telepath. He opened his eyes to stare at the violet-eyed woman working on her.
A minute later the small girl started to shiver violently and scream. He pulled her into his arms and felt her cling frantically to him. Raven wrapped her own arms around both of them.
Starfire burst in through the door. "Friends. News most fire. The Gordanians have launched a fleet carrying antimatter weapons to destroy earth." The orange-skinned Titan announced; her eyes contained only terror, while her voice was filled with dread.
End of Chapter.
