Although I pwn at the Teen Titans (laughs a sad sarcastic laugh), I do not own them.
Question am I not putting enough Beast Boy in? I'll try to have more of him in later. I just have a hard time connecting with his character.
The Titans mulled over the facts in their tower.
"I don't think their is a group behind this," Robin said, "Ricks' resources were too meager, and he seems to depend on this Fohlstead guy too much. I mean, seriously, he didn't even have a phone."
"Seeing that Fohlstead is under house arrest for illegal research and that Sarah really was going through tons of treatment for some unknown disease, I'd have to say that most of the story is credible. But I couldn't find any likely suspects on that Ricks guy. Something tells me that's not his real name."
"Well, let us go then!" Starfire bursted.
"No, we still don't have strong enough evidence against this not being connected to something bigger."
"We still haven't found enough evidence against there being a larger organization," raven croaked. She'd been a little off ever since she'd seen that boy, so she'd had a little trouble concealing the fact that she really felt for Rachel and Grey.
"Well, let's look at the video we got from the camera," Robin said, giving Raven a strange look, like everyone else.
Robin typed at the computer terminal he was sitting near for a few seconds, and soon a video appeared on the big TV screen that they normally played games at. It started with Grey attacking the tube he was trapped in for a few minutes. Ricks was typing at the data-pad some, entering in various commands. Finally, Ricks pressed enter, and Grey began to act drowsy. Ricks drained the tube and opened it, allowing Grey to step out and peer around for a few moments. Ricks pointed at a large oil drum in the corner. Grey pointed lifted a hand and faced a palm, which had a strange silver disc in the center of it, at the drum. Suddenly, the drum collapsed in on itself and began to violently shake. After hovering in the air for a few seconds, shaking and collapsing, it fell to the ground, a perfect sphere. The Titans watched in awe as Ricks tested Grey's power. Ricks attention seemed to suddenly shift from Grey's destructive powers to his head. He cursed, set down a pad of paper he'd been taking notes on, and typed something into the data-pad. Grey began to return to the tube, but fell to the ground and began shaking as blood began to flow from his ears and nose.
"He's trying to resist..," Raven began, wide eyed, but fainted.
"Raven!" Starfire started.
Raven awoke to find herself on the couch, no one dared drop her off in her room. She looked around to see most of the items in the room torn up or toppled, probably her psychic power going psycho while she was unable to control her emotions.
"Good afternoon," Cyborg said jokingly, "I'm guessing you didn't sleep to well."
"Not really..." Raven replied, "what did you guys find out?"
"It seems as though there really isn't any organization behind this. No one visited Ricks, no one called him, and he puts his notes in a filing cabinet, that's still filled with notes." Robin seemed somewhat disappointed.
"It just seems too convenient though," Raven tried to convince the others.
"Well we can't just sit here and do nothing," Starfire cried.
"I say me and Cyborg break Grey out and Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven make sure Sarah is safe, just in case something happens," Robin said determinedly.
It was a pretty dreary day, yet again. Robin and Cyborg were camped out on top of Ricks' warehouse waiting for Ricks to leave. As soon as he left, they crept in through the roof windows. Robin searched the area for security countermeasures , the area was clear. The warehouse was a lot smaller than he had thought. It was lit with a few stadium lights, and besides the tube, two computers, filing cabinets, and crushed barrels, it was completely empty.
"You find anything yet Robin?" Cyborg asked.
"Nothing, go ahead and let Grey out."
Cyborg deftly sifted through all the computers systems until he found a way to let Grey out without applying the control drug Ricks had used.He found the right settings, applied them, and opened the container. Grey walked out drunkenly.
"Who are you guys," he asked.
"You've got a lot of catching up to do," Robin said, as Cyborg stared in disbelief.
"Why did you let me out, where's Ricks, and where's Sarah?"
"We've got Rachel taken care of, Ricks, is hopefully nowhere near here, and we let you out because we didn't think it was right to let people do this to you," Cyborg replied.
"You've gotta bring me to Sarah, we have to protect her!" Grey yelled.
"Hold on, we had some of our guys bring Rachel to a secure place," Robin countered.
"You don't get it, this guy is smart, there is no secure place in reference to him!" he was practically screaming now.
"Trust us, there is no other guy, Ricks is the only person in this operation."
"This is why I hate people in general," Grey growled. "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to fix this whole situation." Grey looked up at the ceiling and, with a loud boom, ripped a hole in it. Soon he was levitating out of the building, and into the city.
Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy, mostly Beast Boy, had convinced Sarah to hang out with them at Titan Tower, and were on their way to the Tower. Sarah had dropped off Ricks' package earlier, so even if there was a misunderstanding she would be fine.
"So, there was this giraffe, and a kangaroo..." Beast Boy was telling another sad excuse for a joke, that Sarah was already laughing at because of how ridiculous it was.
"Has he found out that he's not funny yet?" she asked, giggling, Raven when Beast Boy wasn't paying attention.
"Sadly, no," Raven sighed.
Off in the distance, Grey flew over the city, hoping he could find Sarah before someone else did.
