BIG MOUNTAIN
MATRIX TITAN CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR: FLOWIN FROM THE PHARCYDE
Tattering through the cerebral empty wasteland at a fractured pace. Searching for the right prescribed antidepressant's to rid himself the inner affliction from imploding. Yet the curable medication he's been digging for, was right in front of him. Her peaceful amity, became his withdraw after the faded voice of his adopted sister have seared through the earlobes. Reminded him not to cry. And being who he is, constantly sends the very few people who gives a damn, to a current sedated condition. The doctor, kept check by life support monitors, the only thing that was keeping her from departing from his guilty affliction, within the medical bay of the Watch Tower. No trouble at all for the medical team of closing the gaping lesion that he have cause. Though the meticulous eerie tone he was getting from the lead doctor suggest something more was going on with the patient he just treated. Damn near took everything he had without causing a seeing. Taking things at face value for now after been notified that it would take a small miracle for her to even reach the first stage of recovery.
Not worth to repeat the last explicit onslaught, once Sarah have left his secured protective arms for intensive care. And with little recuperation, was instantly snatch away from the buzzing crowd by Wonder Woman. Guided to a secluded area like a man waiting for his death sentence to be signed by the darkness himself. And poor Wonder Woman, who was forced to endure the shouting match between him and the dark knight.
He heard stories from all around within the watch tower of how he rarely gets upset. Even with the right push of the button, he will not show it. However, he must have smashed the right button because from the look of wonder woman's face, she had never seen him not angry, but pissed after Jason Todd's name had smogged the dark knights interrogating lectures. Reopening old wounds is something he would apologize by nature, however at that situation, was not available after been waterboarded countless times by the pharisee rants coming from Batman. Guilt tripping at bringing people to a hostile environment with little means in defending themselves. However, he did apologize to Wonder Woman after she had persevered in dismantling their nasty exchange before things turn physical.
Damn, he definitely shouldn't' mention that boy's name.
"Good work Victor, you have a great knack at messing shit up." Cyborg sarcastically bash. The caressing touch of Sarah's forehead, only feed the lingering guilt that burned him. Voyaging through the internal trepidation as his dejected final frontier. His wary eyes though, became disorder to the gleaming reflection coming from Sarah's lethal syringe, that was nudge through the fabric of her neatly folded coat. Trifling his moaning grievance of lifting himself from the plastic mesh office chair. Picking up the warn look of the note pad that had slipped from her coat pocket, after rummaging for Sarah's deadly needle. "Don't worry, your nasty candy is in good hands." He mournfully grinned. Leaving the doctor to her personal slumber, with a note pat safely stowed to his pocket.
Unwinding a small grin once the doors have sled itself shut. Inadvertently keeping his comfort well-hidden, with both his eyes folded beneath his palm. Deciphering the molded thudded foots steps of both Robin and Beast Boy coming so close. Trembling through confliction by his external calm façade, after something have popped in his head at pin pointing of what Sarah has done to herself.
"So that's what the old man meant. Sarah, you dumbass." He wryly crass. Whittle down through confusion as he was being slammed against the wall. Meeting up close to a vicious glare of the green Ware-beast. Clearly misunderstood what he actually meant, but would rather embrace a well-deserved beat down. However, his own body greatly beg the differ. With his left hand instinctively clung around the changeling's neck. The evil grin that he displayed, only grew wider with each suffrage being cast by his teammate. Desperately trying to set himself free from Cyborg's inescapable grip, by randomly shifting to different forms he could think of. Pelted further from his genetic alternating abilities the second Cyborg tightens his grip.
The new unsubscribe sensation of destruction he was feeling, have possessed him of wanting more. No, he needs more, just to feed his untamed satisfaction, that kept on roaring louder from within. The tormenting cries of the changeling only fed his induce hunger in breaking his best friend in half. Easily, he would've listened to the authoritative order being thundered by the boy wonder at releasing Beast Boy, as Robin was doing due diligence of trying to break the iron grip.
"Your becoming just like Silas."
The geokinesis, out of nowhere, broke his destructive trance by her wretched smite. Wounded through utter shocked at retreating from the gasping Beast Boy.
"Cyborg, what's going on?" Robin with fury leaking from his tone, attend the disheveled changeling.
Cowling half his face with his hoodie. Brittlely addressing the boy wonder with no shame being flutter. As far as the boy wonder can tell. "Something I regret…...sorry, I need to be alone." Cyborg excusing himself from the confused group.
"Sorry for the abrupt interruption, but if I did not stop them, then he sure would." Terra pointed to the last person they would like to see at this time. The dark knight, blazing down his ghostly coated lens's upon the boy wonder. Exposing the even more punishing aura then they have remembered.
"Terra, have Beast Boy check by the nurse." Batman leaving no room for questions through his barbed tone. "And Robin, follow me."

"Alright let me round this up. You, and your team went through an alternate reality to acquire a certain data. Only to discovered the information was outdated, before headed to the state of Washington, after acquiring another lead. To pursue, and achieve this thing called the dark matrix, but failed once the Decepticon forces, and their leader have intervene. And to make matters worse, got into contact with Silas, who in fact is responsible for the situation were in right now. Did I miss anything?" The dark knight surgically question. Sitting right across the desk from Robin, with acid dripping from his calm composer as he awaits for Robins response, within the dark conference room.
"No, and you've seen the rest once Cyborg had showed up to the watch tower." Robin evenly answers. Waiting patiently on what's going to happen next, even though he had a clear idea from the start, but refuse to jump head first towards conclusion so soon. For now, keeping his team from tearing each other apart is the main priority. All with the absence of Springer, who made himself loud and clear that he wants no part with the leagues business.
"The actions that you and the team have recently committed, was unnecessary, even for you Grayson." Batman genuinely willows behind his rugged tone.
"We are doing what is right in preventing this planet, and the universe from being in danger, that is all." The boy wonder firmly said to the stone face expression of Batman, who was not having it through his reprimanded shout.
"No! being reckless is all you've been doing." Batman deeply sigh at the sour look of Robin." I was hoping the things I taught you will help you grow at being not just a crime fighter, but a better person. Even surpassing me once you left Gotham."
"What I learn from you is how to do my job, and that's what we've been doing."
"You've also forgotten the value of repercussions of doing this job as a titan leader Grayson!" The dark knight thunder in slamming his fist against the desk." Recapping the mounting of failures that all of you have made, is just too time consuming. And moreover, we have a doctor who's in coma." Batman through his plain sigh, gathered back the remote composure." Look Dick, its obvious neither of us didn't get enough sleep over our loss's, and that's evident after my emotions got the better of me with Cyborg. The point is, I am not upset at all for what has occurred; however, I am gravely upset on the one thing I ask you to do from the very beginning. To keep me in contact."
Robin, just sat there in deep silence. Numb from the words of his former mentor. And how could he blame him? The dark knight as usual, was right. This whole blasted time as a titan leader, never took the consideration of the major setbacks he was going to face. And it starting to show tenfold. Tilting the chair back, as disappointment begun to overflown him from within, however it would not be enough to tore him down to dirt. He was just too stubborn.
"What now?" Robin docile.
"For now, you and the others will remain here until further notice. Since one of your team member is Silas prime target, we the league will do what we can to prevent Silas from going after Cyborg. Understood?"
"Confining Cyborg indefinitely. Is what you're saying right? "Robin through great scrutiny, kept his heated words from burning his tongue.
"We are doing what is necessary, and to have better understanding of the threat that were dealing with. And do not second guess yourself, its' called protection. And because of your last actions, all of you are now wanted for questioning by the F.B.I. After gaining footage of you, and the team of breaking and entering into federal property. And I just about had it with the government slamming at our front doors on more than one occasion. You are excuse."
The door soundly sliding itself open from a good distance, as if it could sense Robins inferno from a mile away, before the boy wonder storms himself out. Intentionally leaving out the important fact that they were not part of the league to obey the policy, and Batmans orders. Yet, was not in the mood of going through another round of dispute's with Bruce. And that's fine with him, he will just have to address it by action later.
Felting worse off than he remember when roaming down the main hall. Forgetting to question to the dark knight, as to why Terra was here of all places. Damn him, and his improvisation. Robin, now livid at the sight of a person he was thinking, who was leaning against the door way of his room.
"You've got a lot of nerve to show your face around here. What business do you have with the league? Answer carefully, because I'm not in a good mood." Robin about to fulfill his promise, through his lethal words. And by his objective, flips out his bo staff.
"Okay, first of all, would you just calm down? I completely understand the full disdain you have against me, but could you at least hear me out before going Mr. Arsenal on me?" She hysterically exclaims with both hands shot right up." Sheesh, could've have ask me nicely to move." Kicking herself from Robin's door entrance, and providing much room for a potential onslaught.
"Give me a good reason why I should not take you down on the spot." Robin at his most frigid words, said.
"Try not to get more madder than it already is okay? And hey! I just did my hands up, and don't shoot just a moment ago." Terra giving up at calming the boy wonder down, and catering her tender shoulders." And to answer your question, I work here. Or to be precise, with Batman." She nonchalantly said. Catching a small flinch of surprise coming from Robin." Yes, I've been an undercover agent for some time, ever since I've first encounter with Silas. I thought I should tell you up front since you have every right to know of my sudden involvement as of late. And more importantly, I just want to correct the things that my clone has done."
Damn, so he has been watching after all. Robin thoughtfully scorns. "Not even surprise on the first part of what you just said. That's part of his M.O. And I am well aware from Sarah, of your incident with Cadmus. Still, I'm at a lost. Just to make sure, are you the real Terra that I am talking to?" The boy wonder unease by the poignant look of Terra. Her serene tone turned to a sweet nectar of bitterness.
"Okay, would you believe that this real Terra, were to tell you that her clone once slept with Slade after gone ape shit once she left the team? And were to tell you that Slade is a lot more older than you might think? And would you believe that this real Terra, were to tell you that she is not even into old men period! Moreover, has to live with it through her memories!?" Terra twitching none stop beneath her right eyelid. Robin expressing his repentance by upchucking the things he has eaten." Yeah, it sucks! And it's something I'm not all that comfortable to discuss at this moment…...or ever. Look, I'm just here to tell you in person just how sorry I am for the harm my clone has cause." Terra cruising passed the much quiet boy wonder. "But seriously no offense here, but how could you have lived with that man? I mean he's like a mother hawk protecting his young from any forms of threat." Terra giving Robin a horrid bleak look at refering to Batman.
"You get used to it." He mildly shrugs." Terra, I don't think I could simply accept your apologies at this time."
"You don't have to. One of your teammates already has, and that's enough." She warmly smiled to the gray polished reflection of the floor. Leaving Robin to cognitively sprawl through of which person she was refering. Too guilt ridden to meet the forgiven, yet troubled smile of Starfire as she skits passed her.
"Star, is everything okay?" Robin quietly question.
"Robin, we need to have…...the talk."
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Slamming down the disassemble long slide of the hard baller against the pixie glass cover room table. Bolted down by the weighted guilt, that became more heavier with each lubricant lightly tapping against the floor. Figuring that recalibrating his primary weapon would break the curse of seeing the forgiven warm smile of Sarah. Unfortunately like a broken light switch, killed his desire. Relapsing back to the very beginning at what he's been saying to himself for a long time. A failure always shines the brightest more than a hero. The old bastard never cease to be wrong. Damn him for being right.
Dwelling deeper to his own dejections within the empty space of the private living room. Sitting there like a rotten corpse. Paying no heed to the twin doors being sled open. Possibly one of the league personnel that was coming over just to hassle him to be question by the dark knight. Well great timing, because he or she is about to get a nasty wave of dismissal. Again.
"Look I get why you came here, just tell Batman I'll be there in a few, alright? Still having my black ass moment." Cyborg tirelessly mutter at connecting the final component in place.
"Then by all means. Don't let my company stop you from your misery."
Peeping beneath his hoodie with one eye to the literal walking damnation, who was holding two cups of whatever it is, before moping back down deeper to his sofa with a growl of misfortune. "Raven, you are aware that I have nearly lost everything that I have deeply treasured, including something very precious that you took. With that said, what else you want? My sadness? Go right ahead, I have plenty."
"Don't even bother at being more of an idiot as it is." Raven at her dark console, explored the dark ocean of space through the window." Here." The dark sorceress shoving a cup of hot liquid against the side of his bald head.
"Uh thanks?" Cyborg awkwardly taking the warm mug.
"Don't mention it. I believe you needed it a lot more than I do." Raven taking her first sip with Cyborg, courting his nostrils after taking a good whiff of the liquid content. "And I want that mug back when you get through."
Its tea alright, but with a pretty good kick that gives a relax aroma after taking a small sip. "Uh Raven, do I smell what I think I just smell?" Cyborg vacant." Since when you're into weed?"
"What if it is?" Raven refining her proper genteel, as her eyes flashed red to Cyborgs savvy grin.
"Hey just chill. Remember when I said I was not really a good person prior at being a titan? Use to give away these things during my hustling days." Cyborg renewing his nostalgia by taking another good sip. Shit, almost forgot how good it was, other than smoking them. "Come on Rae, you think I 'm going to say something like this to anyone? Man your crazy, thought you know me better." He derisively huff." Had to ask though, don't you feel a little high by now? And where did you get this from? Cause this stuff is pretty good."
"I'm half demon. Besides, no matter how much I drink it, or smoke them for that matter, I only feel a little mellow. Really helps with my meditation though. As to where I got it? Jazz, through Springer when we first came back to jump city after achieving the data. Couldn't resist the offer. Of course, I did give away one of my most powerful spell book in return. Personally, I never thought of him as a deep reader. Go figure." Raven at her adequate dark self, shrugs.
Yeah go figure, he thought, and the unbelievable things he was hearing. The dark sorceress illegal herbs, have done its job of calming the reckless nerves, yet it did not cure the nagging guilt." I guess you heard what happen huh?"
"What? You, and Beast Boy? Don't worry, he's doing alright." Raven lukewarm at forcing Cyborg to make extra space. Taking her sweet comfort as she sat next to him." Aaah much better. Cyborg, I don't see the merits at being ashamed, for something that is beyond your control. I thoroughly reminded Beast Boy that you did nothing wrong."
"Still, I don't blame him for being pissed for what I did to my sister. Should've just let him have at it, and let him beat my ass." Cyborg descriptively rots." If there's any conciliation, Sarah is going to be alright. Just realize a moment ago that she's been pumping herself with small amount of dark energon into her blood stream for quite sometime. Her habitual dark hobby at using herself as a test subject, is something she enjoys."
The dark sorceress, had enough of tasting the nasty aura coming from her teammate. "Cyborg, listen carefully. Life is like a roll of toilet paper, your always on a roll till someone or some-thing, snatch you up before getting ass wiped. What I am saying is, even with success, on some occasions, you still feel like shit you cannot help but to feel at the very end.
"Yeah." Cyborg decomposing his rusted sigh. Brittlely placing the half empty mug back to the table." I've seen Silas true power before Grid took control over my body….here, you see this?" Cyborg picking up a water bottle cap." This is the League as a whole, and this is him, and his powers." Raven fully understood what Cyborg was saying after tossing the cap across the spotless floor. The cap lit in flames by her magic before making contact." Gotten word from Springer that Megatron have been place in I.R. after his base was ransack by...….him." Cyborg bare not to say his father's name." So much for crashing the party." Gently rubbing his head of relieving the derisory tension." How did you do it Raven?"
"Do what exactly?" Raven quirking an eyebrow. Despite already having a clear idea on what he's saying from the vague question, but would strongly prefer of hearing it directly from him instead.
"How you dealt with being the daughter of an interdimensional demon lord." He clarified.
"Don't know. I was about to ask you the same thing, since you're the son of a dark god. Which I think people would kill for." Raven casually hem to Cyborgs irking eye roll.
"Raven, your ongoing attempt at cheering me up is just terrible."
"Perhaps, but it's one thing I rarely do. So, give me some credit." Raven cordial." Would you like to hear another?" Cyborg shrugs, numb from the sinful tone of Raven. "Why do all dogs go to heaven?" She rhetorically question." Because the bitch kept on letting them in."
Cyborg almost snorted his tea out, congesting himself from his explosive laughter. "Now that would get someone thrown off the loop…... wait, that sounds familiar." He gruff in swallowing the rest of the liquid contents.
"It should, got it from the music you listen to that you kept on playing in the garage."
"Oh that one." Cyborg awkwardly interconnecting his unique taste of music he constantly banged in the garage. Damn he really miss that car. "Raven, all I got to say is, just stick by being who you really are, alright? No matter how much you pissed me off."
"like wise, and as for your last question." Raven leaving the brief comfort of the couch. Exploring the scintillate shine of the stars up close, after leaning her arms against the edge of the window shelf. Mulling at leasing her deep secured secrets to a person who need to be cut away from the vines of desolation. Reflecting back at Cyborg with a somewhat of a fierce expression." Do me a big favor, and keep this between us. In due time, the others will be informed once I feel comfortable. Because this thing I have right now, is relatively new." Receiving a granted slow nod from Cyborg." The answer is simple, I don't."
"Say wah."
"There's more to this, now shut up and bare with me." Snapping his mouth shut at her command." You guys are probably aware of this, but I am the type of person to ask any questions when it matters. The same can apply during my child hood. I just knew that I was different than most people, that is why my mother kept me close from the public at all times, before eventually was sent off to Azarath once my demonic powers began to manifest itself out of control. It was there that I came to learn the truth about myself, and my father. Gaining a new leverage in completely resenting him for the horrors he have done. But, little did I know, I was actually resenting myself this whole time. That soon change when I met you guys. At first, I fear you guys will shun me like most people that I've have encounter, when the last thing that I expected to occur, I was fully embraced." Raven deflecting the sight of her now empty mug, and aiming her cold look over to Cyborg.
"Cyborg, I have yet to mention this, but you are the very first person to ever accept me out of the whim without question, despite my appearance, and my background. It was you that had me realize that motivation ain't never meant to be pretty, but to prove the doubts of the naysayers wrong. Most people that I have seen, can't handle the tragic hell you went through, yet here you are, moving forward with your sanity in piece. That alone was enough to aspire me to do the unthinkable. I accept who I am, what I am, but most importantly, I completely forgive my father for everything. More for my sake then his. Make no mistake, he deserves everything at what's coming to him, and beyond than just a simple beating from Megatron. However at the end, he still my dad." Raven unveiling her warm smile, a warm smile that he never seen.
"That's pretty deep Rae." Cyborg quietly said at looking down at his own mug. Floored from the unexpected confession from the dark teammate." How do you feel now?"
"Well it may not look like much, but for once in my life, a great burden has been lifted, after I to come to peace with myself . . .well sort of. Only because you, and Beast Boy are annoying. Mainly you, since he's being further influence by some of your abnormal pranks. Stop it."
In your damn dreams." He vehemently rambles at giving Raven a skeptic look. "And are you sure that you have complete control over your powers? Because I didn't see that when my shoulder almost got torn off after our tower went crazy."
"Yeah, sorry about that. That was just a cover up. I was going through that time of month. If you know what I mean." Raven keeping her blush well hidden away from Cyborg's understood disturbed look.
"No apologies are needed; I should have never brought that up." Cyborg kicking that uncomfortable moment down the pit. "I don't know Rae. To suddenly forgive a person for the harm he has cause, is just too tough to swallow."
"I'm not saying it's easy, because it isn't. And I'm not suggesting that you do the same. All I'm saying is whatever you decide in how you feel is right, you are never alone."
Gently putting down the mug as he got himself up from the couch. Giving Raven a crooked bashful look." Thanks Raven. We'll see what happens in the future, but in the meantime, there's something I've got to check out. Tagging along?"
"Eh, I'll passed. "Raven said.
"Well if by any chance if you were to come across Beast Boy, tell him for me that I'm sorry"
"Unwarranted, but sure. After you do it yourself." Raven purely stark, causing Cyborg to pause halfway between leaving the living room and the door. Serenely saying her name as if he was ready to confess over to a long-time crush, at the vibe she was feeling.
"Raven."
"Yes."
"Don't let this warm-hearted dialogue that we have as a sign of letting you off the hook. I still want my fucking boxers back!" Cyborg heated through his fuming nose before storming out. Leaving the dark sorceress to grossly shake her head.
"Dumbass." She gently smiles at Cyborgs empty mug.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Oh yeah, he will get his shit back from that dark sorceress. He just has to carefully, and strategically formulate a damn plan to get his precious back. Cyborg hustling his way over to the seemingly remote look of the library. Searching for the right desk to go over the notes that Sarah have jolted down. Hopefully by a slim margin, would provide the much needed info to pull the plug from Unicron, and to figuring out some methods of busting his fathers head wide open. Not as big compare to the typical local library back in Jump City, with computers monitors built right in. But the perfected quietness it presented, is what matters. Spotting the right place to do his little research after passing the much-brooded look of the boy wonder…..dropping everything within his mental tirade, and back peddling where Robin was burning a hole through the blink monitor.
"Alright, I see that I am not the only person who got the shit kicked out. Need assistants in removing something out of your mind?" Cyborg cautiously tearing down Robins deep scowl.
"I'm fine Cyborg." Robin plainly waved. "I Just had a lot on my mind is all."
"Like Starfire." He offhandedly said. And as expected, he didn't have to look to see that he had hit the nail on the head as Robin relinquish a stilted sigh." Don't take it personally, I just have a knack in seeing things a mile away when something is up. It's not hard to read between the lines that something did happen."
Scratching his spikey head and having a difficult time in coming up with a reasonable answer, with Cyborg already burning the keys in typing down the complicated formulas that she had written. "It's a little bit of everything, but in Starfire's case, she thinks its best that we had the quote on quote, the time out."
"So? At least it's just a time out, and not a break up." Cyborg openly seesawing his teeth. Brewing his frustrations after failing multiple times at solving Sarah's chaotic theories." Try not to burn yourself down Robin, but I don't think Starfire's decision has nothing to do with you. With everything on the line right now, I think she wants to put all her focus on the job itself. Can't blame her right?"
"I know, that's exactly the reason. But that's not what's really bothers me. Cyborg, I have yet to announce to everyone, but we officially been kicked out from any involvement with the Decepticons. Silas, the matrix, everything. And to make matters worse, we are barred from leaving this area over security concerns. And you know why that is don't you?" Robin at his unique petulance, twirl the T-com around his lap as a little therapy ball.
"Yeah." Cyborg trifled at rereading Sarah's notes after interconnecting the formulas together. And as usual, she was out of her damn mind, but something this crazy could actually work?" Yeah, I've heard you loud, and clear, just had a nasty back and forth with your mentor of all people. Protective custody my ass. I would have easily return everyone back to Unicron, but after arriving to the watch tower, I completely forgot how to use the sonic warp tube. And on the side note, you are aware that we aren't with the league, right?"
"I'm aware, and I would have brought that up. The thing is I'm just too tired to foil myself in the endless war of words with that man. Regardless, we still have to come up with something quick, because like you said a while ago, the league has no idea what their dealing with, and no question we are the only ones that could possibly stop him." Robin settling his urgent conversation to the side. Break by the sudden hindrance, as he rummages the buzzing communicator from his utility belt. Silencing the buzzing noise by unlocking the protective screen by a single swipe of his thumb. Sharing the same indifferent unison with Cyborg, who appears to got the same message from his communicator as well.
"I'll be headed back to my room Robin. "Cyborg gathering everything back to his pocket after shutting off the computer. I'll let you know if I find anything interesting."
"Same here." Robin through is docile tone, waste no time at going his separate ways.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Hurrying down the halls without a second thought, quickly relaying a message back to Springer the moment he have entered to his assigned room. Stashing away the communicator and adjusting to the misty emerald green glow that laminated the entire room. Advancing forward towards the gate without a second thought. Regaining his proper vision at seeing the advanced overhead monitors, and computers alike being displayed from all around. No doubt, this has to be the main bridge of a ship, giving the ship controls that was currently unoccupied, with the ship windows being layered with thick rain drops. Waving off his curiosity for Robin, who appeared from the gate last, just after Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy had shown up a few seconds ago.
"What took ya?"
Shifting his nauseating sight over to the familiar impatient voice of the former wrecker.
"Good to see your grouchy as ever. "Cyborg sending Springer a welcome middle finger. So, what is this place, and where the heck are we?
"This right here is a space carrier called the Ark. Our main base within the northern part of a remote swamp planet at the prime reality." Springer gestured at pointing his finger to the red, and black looking figure from the corner, who was closely reading the computer monitor's." That guy over there, is responsible for keeping this ship together, and the communication lines open. If you want to thank someone for opening the five-way warp gate, thank Perceptor. Have to be honest, I was a little surprise that all of you showed up so quickly.
"Well we are not supposed to leave the tower period, after we got into a deep scuffle with the league before being barred once again, just for my safety." Cyborg scoff in vexation.
"I figure something like this would happen. Exactly the reason why I refuse to set foot in that blasted place." Springer holding a little resentment to one of the top league member." By the way, the doctor's laptop is at the table, at your request." Springer guiding Cyborg over to Perceptors work desk where the laptop lays.
"He's only half right." Perceptor, wiping off the lubricants from his forehead with a well-used rag, as he linger himself over to the group. Offering a warn smile that did not see a day of rest." The five-way warp gate system was Shockwave's idea. An idea I happily borrowed for our cause. Pardon my friends rude behavior, he's not really a social type with anyone, in case you're not all that aware. And where's my blasted manners?" Perceptor carelessly said as he properly introduces himself. "Head scientist, and communication officer Autobot Perceptor." He half bowed." And I heard you've already been introduced to our youngest Autobot." He said at refering to the current stasis of Windblade, comfortably sitting half haphazardly, before the main volt door lifts itself open. With no welcome vibe being available from his doleful expression, before the second command drags himself in.
"Man, spare the polite bullshit with these guys." Jazz echo from his less then enthuse tone he normally carries.
"Jazz." Preceptor pleasantly gestures for Jazz to come over." So, how does it feel to be anointed at becoming the new prime?"
"Pain in the ass." Jazz discoursing his full displeasure at such title." Should've been that dumbass Rodimus. But nah, that fool just has to pull an excuse thrusters out of his ass, before jamming out into orbit. My share inaccuracy's to dawn such great power, will only cause great commotion. Is what he said." Jazz now deaf within his own hysteric, rants." The only great commotion he's going to cause, is getting his ass tore up after I get through with him. Do you hear me Rod?!" Jazz glimmer his dormant insanity. His long awaited hell he was about to bring to his fellow Autobot, was botched down by the frigid tone of the awake Windblade.
"Jazz, you're at it again." She verbally rips through her reprimands, causing the promoted prime to jump into apologetic mode.
"Shit. My bad Windblade. Didn't mean to wake you up from your sleep." Jazz dropping his playful façade for the head scientist." Had a short talk with Ratchet, and it's going to be a while before Optimus wakes himself up. The medic is doing what they need to do in cleaning out the dark energon from his system. And speaking of dark energon. Jazz layering his brilliant blue visor upon the grimy features of Cyborg." Springer here just told me some interesting shit you all been through, with being introduced with Unicron of all people. I thought that bitch was dead after his ass got blown up. But god-damn, so you are the son of a dark god that I've been hearing about? If so, that's some old bullshit."
"Shit I wish it was." Cyborg gruffly soiled. "But that's what's not pissing me off. Have yet to figure out of how my father is going about of ending all conflicts, through his ideal called peace. But with Sarah's laptop, I should get something. That is if it doesn't' get destroyed after I hack into it."
"Well what a coincidence, because that is exactly the reason why I brought you guys here. We believe there is one person out there, who actually have direct insight in what Unicron is planning." Jazz bringing everyone closer together to a green projection of a planet being displayed from the main table." Just a few cycles ago, one of our top recon units Cliff-jumper, stumble upon a not so old data, during his scouting mission at one of Unicron's old operation ships. Give full credit to Perceptor who really have to bust his ass off just to unlock the damn thing. What contains within it, is a half complete blue print of the reconstructed body of Unicron. The person who's behind the design is Scorponok, the former head scientist of the Decepticons. The data was last recorded in sector thirteen, the old abandoned export zone. And to my hunch, is where the other half of the blue print is located. Not to mention the fool has a reputation of being a damn hermit."
"Well okay then? So, what are we waiting for? We go to this planet, find, and beat the living snot out of this Scoponok's guy for information, and boom! Done deal, right?" Cyborg supplying his astute idea to the uproarious look of Jazz.
"Bitch you know damn well this shit isn't all that simple, because there's a catch. The planet I just mention is heavily infested with high levels of toxic gas, known as nitrogen monoxide, but ten times more pure. One good whiff of this stuff, and all of you will be hitting face first to the grounds. Even with wearing the best breathing apparatus that your planet has available, that dangerous shit will still crack its way through, due to its high potency that it shares."
"Okay, then how about just me then. I think I'll be okay dealing with the punishing conditions." Cyborg clamored his bleak suggestion.
"Oh no you won't. You may be a god and shit, but your also half human fool. In other words, it would kill your ass in a instant. And believe what I said dammit. I've seen these so-called immortal beings, small, big, and way fucking huge, fall right on their ass's, and never gotten themselves up ever again."
"Okay I get it. "Cyborg frustratingly rubbing his head." I know you didn't bring us all here just for some prep talk, and obviously you need someone with able body for this mission, so any idea who's it's gonna be?" Cyborg demanded before his demands drop down to a goose egg of a look with Robin, turning a bit pale as Starfire firmly steps forward towards Jazz.
"Then perhaps I can be of an assistant with this mission. Yes? After all, my Tamaranian biology can withstood the worlds harsh environment at best. As I was once held captive to the similar world you've just mention."
"That's why I called you all here for that reason. To have permission from all of you to lend Starfire in our aid. If I have more options available, I would've used it by now. But were kind of running low with man power at this moment. With most of our forces defending Cybertron, after it has started its progression towards healing. Gotta give it to yah, she is one of the toughest S.O. B's out there that I know who will do this shit." Starfire shying away her blush smile from Jazz blunt honesty. "She's the only one who can help us get through, and get us out of a tight spot. And don't trip fools, Springer will have her company, as well as yours truly. "He brightly winks his assurance to everyone.
"Then I am at your service commander Jazz." Starfire bowed, much to the boy wonders protest.
"Starfire I'm sorry, but you have to thank this through. I know you're one of the strongest member of this...…."
"Robin, please shut the up. "Starfire verbally sewing Robins mouth shut by her harsh snap." I take nothing for granted in how concern you are for my safety, but you must understand the safety of our worlds comes first. That is the job as the teen titans. Yes?"
"But Starfire...…."
Yes or no Robin?" Starfire firmly pressing her words back to Robin.
"No, your entirely right." Robin perking his lips tight. Receded from saying anything more.
Thank you." She gently said.
"Relax Star, you don't need our consent in going about the mission with these guys." Cyborg softly smile's, while giving Robin a solid slap over his shoulder." Don't worry, she will be fine. These guys will take care of her. Right?"
"You damn right I would. This is jazz your looking at dumbass." Jazz confidently said.
"He's not lying. But I cannot say the same for the collateral carnage he might leave behind." Springer off-handily said.
"Springer that was a one-time deal dammit!" Jazz quickly shot back.
"Don't worry about these two idiots. They are the best at what they do. She will be okay." Windblade said to the much-doubted look of Robin, as both the ex-wrecker, and the Autobot commander were cutting each other apart through their ramblings.
"Bitch, whatever! Anyway, it's been decided, and Preceptor has already downloaded the coordinates. The warp gate is ready to go." The promoted prime shifted his glowing blue visor over to the rookie Autobot. "Windblade, the warp gate has already been connected to your home world as well. Saying something about bringing up back up, in case we ran into Menasor, right?"
"That's right. But I'm gonna need a couple of people with certain skill set, just to get through some tight obstacles." Windblade looking at the sour look of Beast Boy, who's been quiet this whole time." Hey, I've heard what happen to your friend back there. I may not know her at all, but I think she wants you to stay strong, and keep fighting for her sake. Because the place where about to head to is crawling with Decepticons." She kindly said to Beast Boy. Changeling, through his seldom self, was ready to wash away the bitter thought that has been a plague tell now, by his light grin." Hey young leader." Windblade gaining Robins attention." I think your hacking skill would be a huge help for our mission. And this might come to a surprise, but where I am from, we do share the same language as well as our tech, similar to earths. So, what do you guys say?"
"If my skills can be a great contribution in our efforts in stopping Silas. Then I'm all in." Robin fist pumps between his palms as he was ready to go.
"Hey Windblade, you're sure you be alright with just the three of you. Just say the word, and I'll have your guys's back no problem." Cyborg suggested.
"Thank you Cyborg, but I think the three of us will be alright. But if something where to come up. Perceptor will be the first to informed you about our mission status."
"Alright then. Than I'll do my part in hacking the living hell out of this laptop while you guys are doing your own thing." Cyborg looking for a good comfortable spot to warm up Sarah's computer.
"And I'll keep a sharp eye on Sarah's laptop. Preventing it from being exploded by Cyborgs temper." Raven flatly express, much to the beaded sweat drop of Cyborg.
"Alright then without further delays. And like our dear Optimus always said before heading out…..Everyone… Roll ass!" Jazz heroically swank, at the expense of a dense looks he was getting from everyone.
"Jazz, that's not what Optimus would say, and you know it." Springer ready to punch jazz through his corrections.
"Yeah, I am aware fool. But this is the new prime your addressing, with his sweet ass rallying cry." Jazz purely silk." And as a new prime, I expect you to hate, but I also expect you to get your sweet ass to get moving." He said before leading the two occupants to the warp gate.
