Chapter 6: Killing Time
After Number 2 finished up the last modifications to the new three-by-four guns, he gave each of the brand new high-tech three-by-four weaponry to the rest of his teammates.
"Robin" said Number 1 as he was gearing up his gun, "I was wondering if you have a training course so that we can test our new weapons?"
"Sure" replied Robin, "we sometimes use the training course to test our strength and our powers."
The five KND operatives head outside with Robin and Raven not far behind. The other Titans watched from a safe distance as Robin step up the course. As various obstacles were being setup, Number 1 fired the first shot at the obstacles with his high-tech laser gun, destroying them completely. Now it was Number 2's turn, so he fired a few more rounds of his portable cannon at several obstacles, destroying all of them, as the other KND members tested out their new technology, when they were signaled to stop from Robin.
"I think you kids have already proven that your new technology works" said Robin.
"Who's up for some video games?" asked Cyborg, "Can any of your kids beat my score?"
"Well, Number 3 and I are not much into video games, but Number 1, 2 and 4 will take you on" replied Number 5.
"I suppose some relaxation is alright" said Number 1, "at least until we find that anonymous individual who faxed us yesterday."
As everybody was heading inside, Number 4 signaled Number 2 to talk to him before they would head in.
"Uh, Number 2" said Number 4, "I was wondering, how did you feel when you were around Crea?"
"Wow" replied Number 2, "that's a tough question. Let's just say for sometime I was under a spell or something like that. Why would you want to ask me something like that?"
"Are you two boys coming in or do I need to make you two come in?" asked Raven as she was impatiently waiting for the two to come inside the tower.
"Don't worry, we will be there in a second" replied Number 4 in a nervous voice.
"Oh, I see where this is going" said Number 2 as he winked his eye at Number 4.
"No! It's not like that!" protested Number 4.
"Alright, I won't push it" replied Number 2, "let's head back into the tower and play some video games."
As Number 2 and 4 entered the tower, they saw Cyborg playing with Number 1 on the Gamestation. Robin was waiting for his turn as Beast Boy was also next in line.
"Wow, you're pretty good at this" said Cyborg pressing several buttons on his controller.
"This game is new for me, but I think I'm getting the hang of it" replied Number 1.
Suddenly Number 1 lost as Cyborg cheered with joy.
"Booya!" cried Cyborg with joy, "Next victim please."
"Aw, no fair" complained Beast Boy as he rolled his eyes, "Robin never quits. It's going to take a long time before I get a chance to play."
"That's it, I'm out of here" said Number 4 as he got of the waiting line.
"Where are you going?" asked Number 2.
"I'm just going to take a tour of the tower" said Number 4.
"Okay Number 4, don't get lost" replied Number 1.
Number 4 decided it was a good time to take a walk anyway. Meanwhile, Number 3 was showing off her Rainbow Monkey doll to Raven. Raven however was unimpressed with the large monkey doll.
"Come on Raven, tell us what you think about Number 3's doll?" asked Starfire.
"I hate dolls" replied Raven in a soft rude reply.
"That's funny, she sounds just like Number 4" said Number 3.
"Look Number 3" said Raven, "I don't do cute stuff. I am not like you and I am not like Starfire."
"Come on, please?" begged Number 3.
"No" replied Raven.
"Aw, come on?" continued Number 3, "the doll won't bite."
"Don't push it" replied Raven as her eyes lid up a black glow.
"Uh, Number 3, I think Raven would like sometime alone" said Starfire, "perhaps she can head back to her room. We can still play with your doll when she leaves."
"Okay" replied Number 3 in her usual cheerful mood.
"Very well then" said Raven as she was leaving Starfire's room.
While Number 4 was walking in the hallway still grumbling about having to be assigned to a teenager girl, he couldn't help wonder why he hesitated when he first gazed into Raven's eyes. He kept on grumbling silently to himself with his usual anti-teenager/anti-girl rants, when suddenly he ran into Raven in the hallway. Number 4 immediately stopped and stood frozen in Raven's path.
"What were you grumbling about?" asked Raven as she was approaching Number 4.
"Uh, uh" was Number 4's only response as sweat ran down his forehead.
Raven could tell that Number 4 was afraid of her. But as she was about to approach Number 4, Number 3 interrupted everything saving Number 4 from the embarrassing situation at least for now.
"Hey Raven and is that Number 4 being all sweaty right next to you?" said Number 3 as she stepped out of Starfire's room.
"I was going to ask you to join us for a tea party with my Rainbow Monkey doll, but I can see you and Number 4 have better things to do" continued Number 3.
As Number 3 went back into Starfire's room, Number 4 relaxes and regains consciousness.
"I can't believe she brought that cruddy Rainbow Monkey doll here" complained Number 4.
"You hate that doll too?" asked Raven in an astonished voice.
"She has an entire collection of those stupid cruddy dolls back at home" replied Number 4, "I hate those cruddy dolls."
"I have to deal with Starfire's attitude" said Raven as she rolled her eyes.
"Tell me about it" replied Number 4, "Number 3 acts like this all the time."
"Perhaps we can head back to my room, if you wish?" asked Raven.
"Sure" replied Number 4 in a surprisingly cheerful mood, "maybe you teenager girls are not so cruddy after all."
As Raven heads back to her room with Number 4 following behind, Number 5 was in Terra's room listening to some of Terra's CDs as usual.
"So let me guess" said Number 5, "you and Beast Boy get the latest CDs?"
"Yep" replied Terra.
"That's strange" said Number 5, "my sister Crea never allows me to use her CDs. And on top of that, my CDs were destroyed when the tree house collapsed."
"That's too bad" said Terra.
"All I have are CDs that are months out of date" continued Number 5.
"Hmm, maybe we can create back up CDs so that you can listen to the CDs you lost when your tree house was attacked" suggested Terra.
"That's a great idea" replied Number 5.
Number 5 and Terra got up and left the room to get Number 5 some back up CDs. As time flew by, it was getting dark. So Robin called everyone to the main room.
"It's getting dark" said Robin, "I think you kids should either sleep in the main room or in the room of the Titan you're assigned to."
"Sounds like a great idea" said Number 1, "since I don't think there is room for Number 2 and I, we would be sleeping here."
"Yea, sleep over!" said Number 3 as she hugged Starfire.
"Wonderful!" replied Starfire.
"You mean I got to sleep in her room?!" cried Number 4 pointing at Raven.
"Come now Number 4" said Number 1, "you can sleep in the main room with us."
"Thanks" sighed Number 4 for a moment of relief.
"Fine with me" said Raven, "I can tell you are afraid of me."
"I'm not afraid of you!" protested Number 4.
"Alright enough you two" said Number 1, "Number 4, remember what I told you about your specific order not to overreact and fight with our guests?"
"Alright, alright" said Number 4 as he backed off his argument with Raven.
"Don't stay up too late playing Gamestation" said Cyborg as the rest of the Titans were leaving the room.
"Don't worry" said Robin before he left the room to Number 1, "tomorrow we will track that anonymous fax sender so get a good nights rest."
After Number 2 finished up the last modifications to the new three-by-four guns, he gave each of the brand new high-tech three-by-four weaponry to the rest of his teammates.
"Robin" said Number 1 as he was gearing up his gun, "I was wondering if you have a training course so that we can test our new weapons?"
