Let me know how this chapter turns out.
A couple of hours later Starfire helped get her friends back to the tower. Using her newly reacquired abilities, she managed to zap the disks off of the others. Cyborg still needed some slight repair with his actuation servos (parts that let him move), but all in all the Titans remained fairly unscathed.
"Whoever this guy is, he defiantly took us by surprise", said Cyborg now able to move his legs.
"Tell me about it", said Robin walking over to the computer console. "Who would have thought that he would know enough about us to totally nullify our abilities"? He brought the internet and using some "special" access codes, linked up to any files or articles that might give them a clue as to whom they're up against.
"The only thing we seem to know about him is the name he gave us", said Raven. The rest of the team joined Robin at the screen.
"That is true, but to rely on just that would be slightly naïve", remarked Star from behind Robin.
"I was merely commenting on how little information we have", retorted Raven. "Besides, the name might have some kind of significance".
"Good call", said Robin. He gestured toward the screen and everyone began to read.
"Whoa", said Cyborg. "This guy's got one hell record follow'n him around". Robin began to read out loud.
"I was only able to find three files on him but it may just what we need", he accessed the first. "First one begins here at the C.I.A., apparently Shrapnel was there top field agent. His former name was Louis Decker. He lost not only his arm but also a good chunk of that side of his body during in the Vietnam War. He had been left for dead during the battle of the Ia'drang Valley. After spending five years in the hospital he reemerged as a mercenary for hire". Robin clicked on the next file and Raven took the floor.
"The damaged parts of his body were replaced by highly advanced bionic technology thought merely to be theoretical. The metal is a mixture of titanium and atimantium which has been said to be indestructible for the most part". She scrolled downwards and came to a close up of his arm. "His arm hides a sizable arsenal of various weapons".
"Sheeesh doesn't this guy have any kind of weakness", asked BB sarcastically. Raven sweat dropped and was about to continue but it was Starfire's turn to talk.
"Over the years he has stolen a number of radioactive materials, government aircraft parts, and advanced technology from the military's top supplier; Octech Industries"-
-"Who industries", interrupted Beast Boy. Looking slightly irritated, Starfire read a small caption to the side of the page.
"The company is owned and run by a man by the name of Alec Octavius".
"That name sounds familiar somehow", said Robin scratching his chin. He switched off the screen and rose from his chair. The wall clock read eleven thirty so they decided to adjourn to their rooms and get some rest. Instead of going to her room however Star made her way to the top of the roof. It was a bit chilly that evening and Star found herself rubbing her arms. Just when she decided that it was too cold she felt a familiar cape cover her and she instantly felt warm.
"Thought you might want some company", said Robin leaning on the railing next to her.
"You thought correctly", said Star with a smile. The wind would pick up and then die down off and on. From the moment she came up her, Robin had the idea that something was wrong. So he decided to spill it out.
"Whats wrong Star", he asked frowning slightly. Star was hesitant at first then sighed.
"I can't keep myself from wondering if maybe if I had been more vigilant on that roof top", she paused. "Maybe Shrapnel would not have gotten away". She hung her dead down in undeserving shame. Robin shook his head.
"Star your worrying about the wrong thing. You could have been really hurt, but you weren't and that's what matters". Star looked up at Robin and drew imaginary circles on the railing.
"You, are certain", she asked quietly.
"Star I will never lie to you and I don't intend to start now", said Robin. And this made Starfire smile big. Robin always had a way to cheer her up when she was either beating herself up or just down. "We should get inside its gett'n a little cold out here", said Robin pointing to the door. Star nodded, handed him back his cape and they went off to bed.
Not bad for a second chapter. What do u think? Good? Bad? Try to get the next one to u asap.
