The trio were riding in yet another expensive SUV. They were already driving for 7 hours and were close to Strasbourg. Beastboy was sitting in shotgun, Static was driving, and Bushido was silently sitting in the back seat, and, meditating? Beastboy was given Static's I-pad so that he could formulate Ravager's working schedule. Truthfully however, he has been gaming more than formulating.
"So dude, how do you beat this level in angry birds again?"
"Beastboy, you're supposed to find out Ravager's work schedule."
"Oh wait I kind of have an idea of her working schedule."
"Well spill."
"Um she works as a bartender in a dance club."
"Noisy or casual."
"Definitely noisy."
"What time or what day does she work at?"
"Well according to the pictures, she arrives at the dance club at around 11 at night, then she leaves at like 6 in the morning."
"Everyday?"
"Yep."
"Must be tough."
"Um Static, between you and me, I'm not so keen on meeting her in her workplace."
They both glanced at Bushido, who was still silently sleeping or meditating in the seat.
"I mean what if some crazy psycho is her boss, like Bushido over there."
"Aw c'mon, 2 bad guy bosses in one week, is that even possible?"
"Dude, you just jinxed it."
"I did not."
"Uh yeah you did."
"Did not."
"Did so."
Bushido awoke from his trance and said,
"I know where this is going and I believe that it will accomplish nothing."
Beastboy and Static glared at each other but remained quiet.
"Good."
Soon enough the trio arrived at Strasbourg and were now looking for the night-club, until Beastboy brought up a suggestion.
"Dude, we just travelled across the country, we should sleep before we go meet Ravager. Besides it's still what like 3 in the afternoon, she won't work for like 7 hours."
"I agree with Beastboy, we should rest and rejuvenate our energy."
But Static argued,
"But what's the point of sleeping in if, when we're looking for the club, we don't know where it is?"
"Trust me, at night, dance clubs are pretty damn noticeable, I would know, I've been in a couple."
Static shrugged.
"Lead on."
-7 hours later-
After they have slept in a motel, the trio venture out into the night in search of the club. Bushido asked,
"So Beastboy what is the name of this dance club?"
"Ummmmmmm."
Static flipped out his I-pad and searched for the name, in 2 seconds he found it.
"Ma Chienne. So Beastboy how do you plan to find this place if every building in the city is still lit-up?"
"Just watch and learn."
After 10 seconds of walking they found the club.
"Told ya. Now c'mon we gotta find Ravager."
As the trio entered the club, the people in it were dancing to some French hip-hop songs. The environment was very packed and noisy, even for Beastboy's taste. Static was tempted to fry the sound systems, and Bushido who was accustomed to quiet environments just left the club.
As the duo made their way to the bar across the room, they walked along the bar in search of Ravager. They didn't find her.
So Beastboy asked one of the bartenders working there,
"So what can I do for ya?"
"Um have you seen Rose Wilson anywhere?"
"Seen her? She's tearing up the dance-floor."
Static raised an eyebrow and asked again.
"Come again?"
The bartender pointed towards the centre of the dance floor. A curvy, and very attractive white-haired teen with black lipstick on, wearing a black T-shirt that goes down to her belly button and tight short-shorts ,well, break dancing. Beastboy and Static were initially mesmerized by her but they snapped out of their trance. Static took out his I-pad and looked at the photos.
"Beastboy, I thought you said she was a bartender."
"Isn't that what bartenders do?"
Static sighed.
"Never mind, so how do we get to her?"
Just then the sound system played another song.
"OP OP GANGNAM STYLE!"
The crowd cheered wildly and began to do the GANGNAM STYLE.
"Static, here's our chance!"
They too began to do the dance, but they slowly danced their way towards Ravager. Ravager was busy doing the GANGNAM STYLE as well. When they got close enough Static asked, er, shouted a question to her.
"HEY! ROSE, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!"
"SORRY LOVER BOY, I'M DANCING!"
She then swung her butt hard against Static, and he stumbled back, Beastboy managed to catch him. He then said to him,
"Here, let me handle this."
He then walked up to Ravager and shouted at her,
"HEY YOU AND ME, DANCE-OFF!"
"WHAT DO I GET IF I WIN?"
"I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE, BUT IF I WIN, ME AND FRIEND GET TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS!
"DEAL!"
She then walked to the DJ and told him that she and Beastboy were going to have a dance-off. The DJ smiled and talked to his microphone,
"LADIES AND GENTLE THE GREAT RAVAGER OF THE DANCE-FLOOR HAS BEEN CHALLENGED TO A DANCE-OFF!"
Another DJ translated that in french. The crowd immediately left the dance-floor, everyone except Beastboy who had his arms crossed and smirking at Ravager. She shouted to him,
"WHAT SONG?"
"RANDOM!"
She told the DJ to pick a random song, he nodded. As Ravager walked to the dance-floor, the song, 'Glad you came' by The Wanted started playing (I suggest you listen to this song while reading the next part).
The sun goes down
Beastboy took his leather jacket off slowly.
The stars come out
The 2 began to walk in a circle, one on each side of the dance floor.
And all that counts
They both begin to walk slowly towards each other
Is here and now
They duo stood just 3 feet from each other, staring into each other's eyes.
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
The lights began to flicker on an off in several different colours, all focusing on the 2 dancers of the floor.
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
Beastboy walked around Ravager in a circle. She looked at him with curiosity.
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
Beastboy pretend to faint.
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
He then wrapped an arm around her waist and pull her closer to him.
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me
He then seductively smiled at Ravager and leaned in.
Turn the lights out now
She pushed him off.
Now I'll take you by the hand
She pulled his hand to her, bringing them within kissing distance.
Hand you another drink
Someone from the crowd gave her a glass of lime Martini. She put it in Beastboy's hand.
Drink it if you can
He chugged it all in one go and wiped the remains on his face with his sleeve.
Can you spend a little time,
She dragged her finger down his muscular chest.
Time is slipping away,
She grabbed his shirt and pulled it closer to her.
Away from us so stay,
She seductively licked her lips.
Stay with me I can make,
She then pulled his head even closer, and they could feel each other's slow and hot breaths.
Make you glad you came
They pushed each other off and began to do a synchronised break dance for the chorus. They crowd was cheering wildly at their impressively well down break dance (which one or what moves, I'll leave it up to your imaginations.)
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
Ravager grabbed his hand and pulled him closer.
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
She also did a fake faint.
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
She placed a hand on his chest and began to trace figure 8's on it.
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me
She pointed at him, then at herself
Turn the lights out now
He pushed her away.
Now I'll take you by the hand
He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer.
Hand you another drink
Another person from the crowd handed him a bottle of vodka and he gave it to her.
Drink it if you can
She chugged the whole bottle then threw it away.
Can you spend a little time,
He wiped his brow from his forehead, and smiled seductively at her.
Time is slipping away,
He took her hand and pulled her closer to him.
Away from us so stay,
He pulled her waist towards himself.
Stay with me I can make,
They got within kissing distance again.
Make you glad you came
Ravager tried to reach up and kiss him. But he pushed her away and they began to do another synchronised break dance.
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
The sun goes down
They walked towards each other.
The stars come out
They held each other's hands
And all that counts
They stared into each other's eyes.
My universe will never be the same
They leaned closer
I'm glad you came
And closer
I'm glad you came
And stopped.
The crowd cheered wildly as the 2 dancers on the floor panted heavily then backed away from their provocative position. Beastboy then asked,
"Well?"
"Ask me anything."
"Yo Static get over here!"
Static did so.
"Man what you did there was sick."
Ravager raised an eyebrow,
"That's your friend."
Static glared at her,
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Beastboy then stepped,
"Static, we're here for a reason, not to argue with people."
Static remained silent. Beastboy sighed.
"So Rose, is it true that you once called yourself, Ravager?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't coy with me Ravager, you were once a mercenary, just like your father, Deathstroke."
"If you're gonna stand there and remind me of my crappy past, I'm leaving. Jerk."
She turned around and exited from the dance club. Beastboy slapped his hand on his fore-head. Static patted his shoulder.
"Another screw-up by the amazing Beastboy."
"It's OK man, you tried your best. Besides we already got Bushido, and we might just recruit Aquagirl."
Beastboy smiled at him.
"I guess your right."
They then exited the club as well. Bushido was patiently waiting in the car. As Static and Beastboy entered the car, he said,
"Lets go home, dudes."
As they were driving, Beastboy noticed a teenage girl in the alley being dragged off by 2 men in black suits. The girl was Ravager.
"STATIC, RAVAGER'S GETTING KIDNAPPED!"
"WHERE?"
"DOWN THAT ALLEY, NOW DRIVE!"
Static did so knocked over several trash-cans.
As the men stuffed Ravager into a car, Static rammed it. Both cars were heavily armoured, they received minor damage. The car drove away as fast as it can.
"STATIC GET THAT CAR!"
"ON IT!"
The SUV was chasing the nimble sports car, normally, the SUV would get left behind, but this was no ordinary SUV, this was Static's SUV.
The SUV continued to chase the sports car. One of the men, took out a machine gun and shot at the SUV.
The bullets merely pinged off the SUV. Static bragged,
"They gotta better than that to slow down this baby."
But then some of the bullets struck the wheels of SUV, deflated it. The SUV began to create sparks as it went across the ground, but it was rapidly losing speed.
"Well OK then."
Beastboy then said,
"We need to get to that car."
They got out of the car, Beastboy changed into his black suit, and Bushido was crouching on Static's electric flying platform who was now zooming towards the car. Then Beastboy morphed into a Peregrine falcon and also chased the car. As static made his way towards the car, he was doing his best to dodge the flying bullets. The car eventually accelerated on a make-shift ramp and made its way to the main highway.
'Aw crap now our cover might be blown.'
Static proceeded to chasing the car while hovering over the highway. Bushido was busy deflecting whatever bullets that Static couldn't avoid. The speed through the highway and Static was still trying to chase it down.
'Where's Beastboy?'
Just then a green Peregrine falcon was diving straight towards the car. When it was near enough, it morphed back into Beastboy. He landed on top of the car and opened the top with his bare hands. One of the men shot the machine gun through the roof. Beastboy just swung to the side of the car and kicked through the window and into the man, knocking him unconscious. He quickly said to the man driving the car,
"SLOW DOWN NOW!"
The man slowly reached for his stiletto, when he grabbed it, he swung it at Beastboy. He grabbed his forearm that was carrying the blade and punched him in the face knocking him unconscious too. He quickly moved the man to the shotgun, and he took over as driver. The problem is Beastboy isn't very good at driving.
"AW MAN, WHAT DO I PRESS, WHAT DO I PRESS?"
He quickly stepped on something that apparently released the car's breaks.
Static noticed this and thought
'BEASTBOY YOU IDIOT!'
Beastboy was now driving a very fast, break-less sportscar on a busy highway, not the ideal situation.
He then drove off the highway and landed on the ground. After a sudden thud, the kept continued to move. Despite Beastboy's best efforts, the car was about to go off a cliff. Beastboy screamed at the top of his lungs. Just then the car was shocked by lightning and car slowed down to halt. Beastboy kicked the door open and dragged one of the men out. He then opened the back door and carried Ravager and the other man out. Static and Bushido carried the men, and he carried Ravager. Static then walked up to Beastboy saying,
"You are never to drive my car, do you hear me? You got the driving skills of a blind chimpanzee."
"C'mon the only experience I had in driving was whenever I play Race Rider 1,2, and 3."
Bushido then added,
"Videogames and real life are very different, videogames have less restrictions on what you can and cannot do."
"Bushido's got a point, but-
He then patted Beastboy's shoulder,
"You did good man, even if it was stupid."
"Yes, I commend your capabilities."
"Thanks guys, um where are you gonna drop off the men?"
"In front on the police station."
"So what do I do with her?"
Bushido then gave Beastboy a key and a card,
"I have booked another hotel room for the night, the address is on this card."
"Thanks dude, so see you guys later then."
"Yup."
"Of course."
'Hmm now where's 763 Maire at?'-4 hours later-
Her eyes started to open, but her senses have now haywire.
'Where am I?'
She rubbed her head, which was currently aching. She then remembered being dragged by men, men in black.
'The League of Assassins has never taken, and I'm not about to let them now.'
She silently got on her feet and walked slowly towards the door. As she heard nothing in the nothing she began to open the door. As she crept down the wall, she heard a voice behind her.
"Whatcha doing?"
Immediately she took out 2 knives from her pocket and swung them against the person behind her. But the person quickly grabbed her forearms. She countered by attempting to knee her opponent in the groin, but that was blocked by his own leg. She then twisted herself in order to twist his arms, but he didn't allow to twist. He then said,
"HEY I'M NOT GONNA HURT YOU?"
"LET ME GO!"
He did so, but was immediately given a fist to his jaw. She then kicked him through a wall. She narrowed her eyes at the rubble to see if he's still alive. He then jumped out of the rubble and pinned her to the wall.
"I SWEAR TO YOU, I'LL KILL YOU, I'LL KILL YOU!"
Then Static went to the hallway and asked,
"Hey, what going on out here?"
He noticed a very angry looking Ravager,
"Uh oh."
Ravager recognized the African-American teen and said,
"You? What the hell's going on?"
The black suited man said,
"If you don't try to hurt me or him, then I can explain it to you."
She stopped resisting, he in turn let her go. He then took off his helmet and said,
"We saved you from those men who tried to kidnap you, we're here to help you, not hurt you."
Ravager only paid attention to his odd skin colour.
"YOU'RE GREEN!"
Static chuckled, and sarcastically said
"What gave it away?"
Ravager immediately responded with a
"Shut up."
She then eyed the teen in front of her and asked,
"Why do you look like somebody I me?"
Beastboy then reached in his utility belt and took out a ring and placed it on his finger. His hair changed to dirty blond and his skin turned peach. Ravager couldn't believe her eyes.
"You-you're that guy I danced with at the club."
"The one and only."
Ravager blushed heavily.
"Hey I've been meaning to ask you a couple of questions back at the club."
"Well?"
"First, you heard about the jail break-in in Paris?"
"Of course. It was the breaking news for the past few days now, they said the somebody wanted the destruction of the whole prison, but failed."
Beastboy and Static cringed a bit as they remembered their destructive fight in the prison.
"So here's the thing, me, that dude over there, and another dude are heroes. Since nobody's seriously looking for the Brotherhood of Evil, we are. You're living a normal life which is cool and all, but we want ask you if you wanna join us."
Ravager looked down in sadness.
"My life's far from normal, I've been on the run from the league of Assassins since I was 15, I-I have a really messed up past as you may know. And if you really knew who I was, you wouldn't want me to be in your team."
"You got some serious butt kicking skills, you fight to save people's lives, and you're good-looking, good enough for me."
She couldn't help but blush at that last comment. He offered her a hand, but she didn't take it. He then pushed her chin up gently and wiped a strand of hair from her face.
"Look we all did things that we regret, and we wish that we could change them but we can't. Look at me, I'm Beastboy, the boy blunder (I know that's typically reserved for Robin.), I once got my whole team, the Doom Patrol killed. Do I look like I don't want to interact with people or say stay away from me, I'm bad luck?"
"But you've never killed anyone before have you?"
In all honesty, he never has.
"No, I never did, but that's behind you now, you're not like that anymore, you don't kill people Ravager, you save them, you're a hero er, heroine."
Ravager was touched by his words. They seem so genuine, so caring.
"No one's called me a heroine before."
"There's a first time for everything right?"
Beastboy laughed loudly. Ravager giggle a little too. Beastboy noticed this and grinned at her.
"Hey! You giggled, like really giggled."
"So what if I did?"
"See now that's what I'm talking about, the past is done and over with, but the future's still out there. Live it Ravager."
"Um thanks, B-Beastboy."
"So more importantly, you wanna join the team, kick some bad guy butt?"
Ravager nodded and said,
"Sounds like fun."
"Al-right! 2 down, 1 to go, tomorrow we are going to Cannes!"
Beastboy walked down the hallway with Static. Ravager stared at Beastboy until he went in his room. She snapped out her trance and went back to her room. Whether she knows it or not, she was developing strong romantic feelings for the green teen.
THIS CHAPTER WAS BY FAR, THE MOST FUN TO WRITE. THAT'S IT FOR NOW.
