After the battle the Teen Titans return to the Titans Tower to gather clues
about their mysterious villain. But what they found was something shocking
and questionable.
Eighth Chapter Notes
LM's bio is the same as my bio. Real name, City, State, Age, ext. I have to fake a death date and a cause of death. You'll understand later in the story. Added a small spoiler of Aftershock part 2, in case you people want to know how season two ends. Also, a quick appearance from Seraph.
Disclaimer: Don't own the Titans, but my bio is real.
Chapter 8: Secrets
Meanwhile at the Matrix, the Teen Titans were at Titans Tower, gathering clues about their new foe. Cyborg was in his room/laboratory scanning the DNA of the blood that LM spat out. In the living room, the rest of the Titans were watching the videos from the security cameras on their window/TV
Terra: Why are we watching this?
Robin: Because we have to find a weak point on our new enemy and form a plan to stop him.
Looking at the screens, Robin paid close attention to LM's style of fighting and the way he escapes from even the toughest situations. Of all the villains Robin fought, he never faced an opponent this tricky in his life. Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy were sitting around the table filled with weapons that Last Hope left behind.
Beast Boy: I don't understand why we have to bring all this here? We all know they're dangerous.
Raven: We have to find out what we're up against Beast Boy. It's important for us to know our enemy.
Robin walks up to the table and looked at the weapons himself.
Raven: So, what are we up against?
Robin: Looks like we're up against some serial arsenates. Look at these weapons, most of the weapons here must've belonged to the military and the bullets contain enough power to penetrate through a bulletproof vest.
Starfire: I can't believe that humans can use these evil things to kill other humans.
Robin: Believe it Star. This world is never fair.
Terra: You think they stole these weapons from the Pentagon or the U.S. Army?
Robin: I don't know. But we have to prepare for anything. (turning back to the screen) The only question that still bothers me is how they disappeared?
There was a screen that showed LM picking up a pay phone. A quick interference short-circuited the screen but when it was back to normal, LM was gone.
Robin: This doesn't make any sense. Why would he go through all the trouble to get to a payphone?
Cyborg entered the living room and joined the Titans on their conversation.
Robin: Well Cy, you got anything about our guy?
Cyborg: You could say that.
Cyborg had a small disk out and installed it in one of the computers.
Cyborg: I scanned the blood in multiple frequencies and studied the DNA strand. It turns out that the blood came from one kid.
Cyborg opened up the program and a bio came out of the window/TV. The bio showed a picture of LM, only two years younger and smiling. At the bottom of the picture showed the information of LM that reads like this.
Name: Luis Javier Morgado
Age: 18
Birth Date: May 25, 1983
Birthplace: Union City, NJ
Religion: Christian
Sex: Male
Race: Cuban/American
Education: Forum School, Bergen County Vocational High School
Career: Not named yet
Beast Boy: Kay, that doesn't fit the description on a cold-blooded killer.
Terra: You know what's real weird. The bio said he's 18 but when we fought him he was like 20.
Cyborg: Yeah well, sometimes information like this has a few fatal errors in the drive.
Robin: O.K. We know his history, now we need to know how he became what he is.
Raven: Don't you think that he and his team are working for Slade?
Robin: I don't think so Raven. Slade died in the lava pit two months ago. Besides, I didn't see an S or anything that's Slade related on them.
Beast Boy: Maybe they're the new Iraqi terrorists the news was talking about.
Terra: Uh Beast Boy. If they were Iraqi terrorists they should've been wearing hoods and have masks over their mouths.
Beast Boy: Well it's a possibility.
While the Titans were discussing, Starfire was staring at LM's bio on the screen. She noticed something at the bottom of the page that's not quite right.
Starfire: Friends, did this Luis we fought today was a zombie?
The team stared at Starfire confused and unsure.
Robin: What are you talking about Star?
Starfire: Look at the date of death.
Robin and the Titans took a closer look at LM's bio and noticed the final two pieces of info at the bottom of the page. It reads...
Death Date: April 23, 2001
Cause of Death: A bullet wound in the head.
Robin: What?
Beast Boy: No way.
Cyborg: Can't be.
Raven: Impossible.
Terra: It has to be a joke.
Robin clicked an icon the bottom of the Cause of Death section. A pop up window opened and revealed an article in the New York Times a day after LMs death. He skimmed through the article and had the eyes of shock, even behind the mask.
Robin: It's not a joke Terra. Luis died three years ago.
Cyborg: Wait a minute. If he died three years ago, then who we fought at the station?
Starfire: He must be a zombie.
Beast Boy: Star, if he was a zombie he would be nothing but skin and bones. Not to mention eating someone's flesh. Trust me on this Star; I'm a big movie fan.
Raven: Maybe Luis is a ghost.
Terra: He didn't felt like one. He could be a robot or a clone.
Robin: Take it easy guys; let's not jump to conclusions. But this is a real mystery for us. (turns to the screen) The page said that he died three years ago, but he looked alive when we fought him. If this guy's not a ghost, a robot, or a clone then what is he?
Just then a Titan phone rang the theme song tune. The Titans got startled for a second but they calm themselves down. Terra approached the phone and picked it up.
Terra: Hello, you have reached the Titan Hotline. This is Terra. How can I help you? (pause) Sure he's here. Hang on a second please. (turns to Robin) Robin, someone wants to talk to you.
Terra handed the phone to Robin.
Robin: This is Robin, the leader of the Teen Titans. Who's calling?
In the middle of Jump City's Chinatown, a mysterious figure was at the payphone.
Seraph: My name is Seraph. I bring disturbing news that can affect your world. You must come to the Chinese Temple at once. (hangs up phone)
For my next chapter, I need to find names for the teams in Zion. If you have any good team names, please review.
