Chapter Seven: Ka-boom!
Cyborg squinted at the controls. How was he supposed to destroy this machine and clones when he couldn't even read the writing? Mumbling to himself, he placed his face closer to the keypad his nose practically touching it. Fuming at the "insolence" (even if he is the foreigner here so he has no right to be fumed at this).
"Need any help?" Aqualad smirked as he watched Cyborg, an amused expression written all his handsome face as his arms was folded across his well-formed chest. This was more amusing than anything else.
"Of course not! Why would I need help?!" Cyborg said as he continued to look at the symbols more frantically. He wasn't going to have some Atlantian to help him, even if he probably could read it.
"So you always go this frantic when you read something?" Aqualad asked barely holding in the laughter that wanted to come out so bad. As Aqualad just approached and just smirked as he watched.
"No...I just can't read...I mean there must be something...ugh!" Cyborg said looking at Aqualad as if he had punctured his ego majorly.
"Then how about you let the one who can read Atlantian read the writing and then you can do what you do best." Aqualad said still smirking as he watched. After Cyborg had moved to the side, fuming even more now.
It only took about ten precious minutes for Aqualad to decode the writing and for Cyborg to work his charm with the computer. Cyborg stepped back and placed his hands on his hips looking like he won an award. "Hah! Knew I could do it!"
"I'm sure you could," Aqualad said as he watched shaking his head at Cyborg, he could swear that Cyborg and Beast Boy was almost alike, so much it scared him really.
Suddenly the alarm went off, a bright red light flashed as an ear-breaking noise rang through the cave. They could now see the count down till the clones would hatch. Aqualad frowned simply because this is what happened last time.
"Is that supposed to happen?" Cyborg asked panicking for a moment.
"I'm sure it's not supposed to," Aqualad replied dryly as he looked worriedly towards the keypad. "Aren't you going to do something?" "What am I—Oh...Wait..." Cyborg said with a nervous laugh as he scratched the back of his neck. Cyborg tried frantically to reverse it but it wasn't doing anything. So finally he did the classic thing. KA-BOOM!! Sounded through the cave.
"Well that gets things done," Raven commented dryly looking towards the ceiling that rumbled a little. Looking towards the water, there was something underneath the water, she could sense it.
"Hey, what do you want me to do, beg for it to stop?" Cyborg said walking to Raven. "What's up Ra?"
"The question is what's down," Raven answered as Aqualad walked over and observed as well. Smiling a bit grimly, he nodded sensing that too. Oh how he could sense Trident's presence so easily.
Without warning, some of the clones had reached the surface of the water and fired at them. Three to who knows how many, perfect...
Aqualad fought off a few, and saw Raven over there fighting a few off herself. Figuring he'd be a gentleman. He went over there to help her, by punching one that was about to attack Raven in the face.
"I can handle myself," Raven growled as some of the chunks of the ceiling fell down close to him in fact he had to move out of the way, convintly squashing some of the clones.
Aqualad blinked wide-eyed at her, and was taken by surprise as one of the clones attacked him. Falling on the ground, he rolled to his back and kicked that same one. But by then they were surrounded.
"Do something Ra..." Cyborg said nervously stepping back and fired at a few.
"Working on it," She replied as she concentrated. Suddenly things went blank and her mind was calmed as if she wasn't even there. She could feel the tremor of the roof shaking and it was a good thing. As some of the chunks of rock came down around them squashing most of the clones.
Opening her eyes, she felt light headed now, she looked at the mass or rocks surrounding her, and smirked silently to herself.
Cyborg was over joyed at this, patting her back, which technically to her would be a slap on the back. "Great job Ra!"
Raven found she lurched forward weak from causing those boulders to fall, but because of that "slap" on the back she lurched forward right into Aqualad. When she had ran into him she felt a bright blush come to her face. "That was a great job, Raven," Aqualad grinned down at her as she straightened placing his hand on her shoulder. After giving this compliment and touch a rock behind him exploded, but he didn't care at all. "You sure have a strange way of showing affection." He teased.
If it was possible Raven blushed more now tongue-tied. About to say something when the figures of Beast Boy, Robin, and Starfire came to view over the rocks. "Lets get out of here this place is about to collapse!!" Robin yelled at them.
"Don't have to tell me twice," Cyborg commented as he began to climb the pile of rocks.
"Can I help you this time, Raven?" Aqualad asked looking at her seriously knowing what it was like to use your powers that it caused you to faint or something.
"I'll be fine," Raven managed to say. When Aqualad nodded, she felt a little rush of relief come through her. As she started to climb that pile of rocks, and Aqualad was by her side to catch her if she should fall.
