Well this is it. Finally finished with this story that took me so long to write. Wasn't expecting this to begin with. Guess this is what happens when you have long chapters that would take forever to make and schoolwork and a job to get through with. Another reason why my hit counter was low and no one was able to give me any types of reviews to begin with. Perhaps maybe on my next story I won't have any more problems. I mean I did my Transformers Prime story and everyone started to like it, a lot. I guess I have to good reason why. Let's just finish this chapter off quick and be done with it.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans or the Matrix.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Farewell

Hours after the whole battle with Merovingian and the Brotherhood of Evil, everyone went back to the Last Hope's warehouse in Metro City and were relaxing from all that fighting. The Teen Titans, Doom Patrol, and Last Hope were gathered together outside the base with the T-Ship and the Doom Patrol jet close by. LM twisted his shoulder around just to get the feeling back and grunted a little bit. Raven looked at him and wondered if he was all right.

Raven: "You okay LM? You're sure you don't need anymore medical attention?"

The rebel looked at her and slowly shook his head.

LM: "Naw… I'm fine Rae. Nothing like a couple of chases, big brawls, and jumping out of a jet that was about to blow up to help calm the nerves. Thanks for all the healing though, but I'll manage the rest."

Rae smiled and decided to leave it alone. The Titan looked around and noticed the other honorary Titans are nowhere to be found. He then turned to Robin and asked him about that.

LM: "Hey Robin, where are the other Titans? I don't see them anywhere."

Robin turned to him and explained what happened.

Robin: "Herald got everyone to their homes after we put a stop to the Brotherhood. After what they've been through, they deserved all the rest they could get."

LM slouched his shoulders and sighed to himself.

LM: "It's a shame… I was hoping to meet them all personally after the battle, since I wasn't fully aware you had an army until just a while ago."

The Boy Wonder smiled about it and placed his hand on his friend's shoulder.

Robin: "I'm sure you meet them again someday, when we're not busy saving the world that is."

The renegade looked at him and smiled, knowing he would meet of with the honorary members soon enough. Just as he thought of that, Silent Night came through the door and met up with the groups and explains some things. LM saw her come out of the base and started to ask questions.

LM: "Well Night, what's the news?"

The leader of Last Hope looked at him and then looked at the others to explain what she was doing.

Silent Night: "I've talked to the Feds on a closed line and the Zion committee about what happened and gave them the details of the mission."

LM: "And?"

Silent Night: "Well for one thing that little light show that happened around the Chateau had caused panic in the towns around it. Agent Jackson will send some help to calm those people and probably tell them to keep it on the DL. A couple of resistance forces will then take the liberty and combing the area for what's left of that Dark Storm satellite that tried to fry us all. Though I don't know if it's possible in finding any evidence of the weapon, being that it broke apart upon reentry. Not to mention that most of the equipment came from multiple companies. I can imaging how the suits there would feel that most of their work has gone up in flames."

The rebel shrugged his shoulders and decided to say it straight to her.

LM: "Eh. There's a reason we have collateral damage. A whole less paperwork for them to fill out. What about the Brotherhood and the Frenchman though?"

Night thought about that and decided to tell him about the half of the former alliance.

Silent Night: "Well, for all we know Merovingian went back into hiding in the Chateau until he can come up with another plan in taking over the planet. The Brotherhood though, we have no clue what happened to them?"

LM: "Saw them getting out of the plane before it broke apart. No telling what happened to them after that.

Mento heard this and decided to tell them what he thinks what happened to the Brotherhood.

Mento: "If I had to guess, the Brotherhood always made a clean get away whenever the plan falls apart. They always have a thing in hiding their tracks in many ways. They'll pop up, eventually. And when that happens, the Doom Patrol will be ready."

LM turned to him and nodded with what he said.

LM: "I hope you're right about that Mento. After what happened up there, I think I created a new rival in my list of bad guys I have to fight."

Mento looked at him and smirked about it.

Mento: "After what Negative Man told me what you did with the Brotherhood, I could imagine what they will do to you when they return."

LM: "Then if that's the case, I guess I have another challenge to deal with."

Mento: "I'm sure you will get use to that. I know we do."

LM shook his head and decided to ignore that and then looked at each of the teams for thanks.

LM: "Though I appreciate the help, I should let you know that I had everything under control."

There was some snickering within the three groups and thought that he was to cool for what happened.

Cyborg: "Sure you do. I guess getting yourself captured was part of your plan right?"

LM looked at his metal friend and responded to his question.

LM: "You could say that."

That's when Robin came in and decided to act all serious about what happened.

Robin: "Either way, what you did back there was extremely dangerous. You should've told us that Merovingian was working for the Brotherhood. If that were the case, we would've helped you out in the first place. Next time when there's an enemy that we've faced, just tell us and we're help you. All right?"

The rebel looked at the Titan leader and lowered his head, knowing it was a little stupid going in it alone. He peeked up to him and started to apologize to him.

LM: "I know… I know… And I'm sorry I had to keep this from you guys. If I knew that you guys face these bastards before I would've asked first. Instead I was too focused on the mission that I never said anything to you. I'm must've been so stupid in doing this."

Robin nodded and decided to accept his apology.

Robin: "As long as you learned your lesson, I'm glad that you are in one piece. Just remember, we are going to be with you no matter what. After all, we are family right?"

LM lifted his head up and looked at Robin with a relief in his heart.

LM: "Yeah… We're family."

He looked right at the others and noticed that they were smiling at him too. He then turned to Last Hope and the Doom Patrol and could tell that they were pleased at what he did. Minutes later, everyone was congratulating themselves and saying their goodbyes. LM was with his old team talking about what happened to him in the jet while Silent Night talked about the fight with Lieutenant Wyoming. As they were talking, he turned to the right and saw Negative Man sitting by himself looking at the ocean. Worried, he lifted his hand up and told Night to hold that thought. He then approached Negative Man and checked to see if he's all right.

LM: "Hey. Everything okay? You're not celebrating like everyone around here."

The Doom Patrol member looked at him and responded back.

Negative Man: "Oh no, it's nothing. I just like to be by myself, looking at the view."

The rebel decided to join in on the view and sat next to him. Things were quiet between the two as LM decided to continue with the conversation.

LM: "You know I always liked this view. Keeps me calm after every mission I always take back when I was the leader with Last Hope. It had the kind of a soothing field that relaxes the nerves. I mean after what happened back with the Brotherhood, I sure deserve this."

Larry looked at him and couldn't help but to laugh about it.

Negative Man: "Wish I had nerves. I'm just a body made out of negative energy that can phase through anything. Never easy being me."

LM: "Well welcome to my world."

The two of them then laughed it up from that joke and went quiet again. After a couple of seconds, they decided to speak about what happened.

LM: "You know what, I got to admit that we made a pretty good team back there huh."

Negative Man looked at him and nodded.

Negative Man: "Indeed. We made a damn good tag team. Started off rocky, but we've managed one way or the other."

They were silent again until LM started to ask for a favor.

Negative Man: "To tell you the truth, you're not that bad for a psychotic rebel with no authority."

The rebel turned to him and decided to return the favor.

LM: "Thanks. And you're not so bad yourself, for a negative like ghost with an Emo like personality."

The two chuckled as LM started to finish with what he was going to say.

LM: "Maybe we should work together sometime. You know, incase more trouble from Merv returns or the Brotherhood making their reappearance. Teach them a lesson they'll never forget."

The two of them then laughed it up as Larry nodded in shear agreement.

Negative Man: "I couldn't say it better myself. It's been nice working with you Luis."

He then got his hand out and offered him a handshake. The Titan just looked at the hand and smiled to his new friend.

LM: "Nice working with you too Larry."

As he said that, he took Larry's hand and shook it. The others looked at them talking and couldn't help but to feel a little pleased at the site. Who would've thought that two of the mostly unlikely members of their teams would become best friends in the end?

A few minutes later, the Titans were in their T-Ship heading back home after such a mission like that. In one of the cockpits, LM sat there quietly and was relaxing. The other Titans saw him and decided to talk to him through the headsets.

Terra: "You seem to be a little lazy after what you've been through."

LM just shook his head and talked to the Earthmover about that.

LM: "After the Hell I've been through back there, I'm glad I deserve and long and tiresome break. You can imagine all of those obstacles I had to pass back there."

Cyborg: "Don't worry about it LM. We've been through worse with the Brotherhood before. We can understand what you've been through. Too bad you have to leave your new friend behind."

LM sighed to himself and told the hybrid what he thinks.

LM: "Yes, that's true… It's hard to leave Negative Man with the Doom Patrol. I got to admit he was a good partner, even though he's a bit moody. But who knows? Maybe in the near future we can meet again."

Robin: "Well there's no telling what would happen, but at least you got a chance meeting someone that could help out. Speaking of which, you remember what I said."

LM lifted his hand up and responded about Robin's advice.

LM: "I got the message Robin. If it's a Titan affair I will contact all of you at once. You don't have to tell me that twice. At least I learned my lesson in a big way."

As he was taking a deep breath, he then remembered what Negative Man said and decided to liven the trip up a bit.

LM: "Say guys, after what we've been through in the Brotherhood attack, why don't we celebrate when we get back home. I know of a great Italian restaurant that has the finest lasagna. What do you think, you want some lasagna Garfield?"

Beast Boy: "As long as it's a vegetarian one I'm all right with-"

He immediately stopped in his answers and blinked his eyes realizing that he knew his real name. He turned to the renegade and blew up on him.

Beast Boy: "Wait! How did you know my real name?"

LM just smirked and answered his question.

LM: "Oh… Let's just say Negative Man told me about you. That a nice name by the way BB. It really suits you as well, since you like to sleep a lot."

The changeling groaned to himself and couldn't believe that Larry would say that.

LM: "You're getting angry Garfield? Why don't you take your frustrations by kicking Odie off the table? Make you feel a little better."

Now BB had it as he turned his head to him again and was now threatening him.

Beast Boy: "Stop making fun of me!"

LM: "Oh, I'm scared. What are you going to do to me Garfield? You going to mail me to Abu Dhabi?"

All the Titans heard all of those remarks the rebel said and couldn't help but to laugh it off. Beast Boy on the other hand placed his hands on his chin and elbows on the console and sighed about what happened.

Beast Boy: "Oh man… This is going to be a long trip…."

The T-Ship sailed through the skies as the sun slowly started to set. With LM, it was one crazy mission he went through. But thanks to a new friend in Negative Man, it was all worth it. Now all he has to do is head back to the Tower and just relax after a job well done. At least after he finishes joking about Beast Boy's real name. And believe it or not, he has over a thousand of jokes about that name.

The End

Finally! I'm all done with this story for good. I know that it wasn't the most popular one, but I can understand why. Been making these long chapters can make people feel a little impatient and stop caring. I just hope the other stories I'm doing won't be that long. That would be really nightmarish. Thank you all for reading my story. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I wrote it. Please Review.
