I did NOT get as many reviews as I hoped. Are there really only 3 or 4
people that had the patience to read up to chapter 10? I don't feel as
jumpy and full of ideas as when I wrote Life and Death. Who knows, maybe
people just don't read the top section. I'll put a note in the middle just
to remind you. Like a commercial break or something. PS, I think that
George Bush review was just annoying. I have two words for you, and the
second one is "You." And one last thing, please try not to curse in my
reviews, I'm sure there are younger people reading this. Although it is
rated pg13...
The T-car raced off.
"Cyborg, there's a speed limit idiot." I said.
"I know. But—"
Jinx took the wheel a swerved to the right, narrowly missing a slow moving van.
"Heh heh, I guess that was my fault, huh?"
We all glared at him.
A couple of hours later, we arrived back at the tower. When we walked inside the garage, we caught a glimpse of a jet.
"Why didn't we use that?" I asked. Cyborg did not have an answer. "I guess they replaced your brain with a single wire. And it just short-circuited."
We all walked down the hall eventually winding up in the living room. Beast Boy and Starfire were watching a movie.
"What are you watching?" I asked monotonously.
"Aliens."
"You guys wussed out of that movie." I said. The other HIVE members cracked up. Beast Boy and Starfire turned red.
"Umm, T, what are they doing here?" Beast Boy said.
"Standing?" I said. "They're helping us find Raven, and you guys are watching a movie. That's friendship"
"Humph." Beast Boy said, getting up. He headed for the kitchen. "I'm starving."
I followed him. Cyborg followed me. Gizmo followed Cyborg, and so on. I could not be completely sure why.
"How are we gonna track Raven?" Jinx asked.
"I don't know." I said.
"Perhaps—" Starfire began to say.
"Do you think they'd still be in the city?" asked Mammoth.
"Probably not. With the time we've given them, probably on the other side of the globe by now." Cyborg responded.
"What happened anyway?" Gizmo asked.
"I have an—" Starfire began.
"Well, it happened a couple days ago. Raven and I were headed to a fan club meeting. It was a fair weathered day, and nothing bad had happened. It was like we were in heaven, or hell, if you prefer that, itself. The meeting had not begun, but I already had a bad feeling about it. I settled down to read a book on spells, and I'm not sure what Raven was reading. The meeting time came around, and we headed into the meeting room. I remember some guy asking me about my friendship with Raven, and then I went to get a soda or something. When I came back, the meeting room was deserted, without a trace. Raven was gone too. When I rushed outside, I saw Raven in the back of a car with the fans. I ran after them, and caught up with the rest of the titans. Robin and I ran after the car, and Robin tripped and broke his leg. So there." I said, gasping for breath.
"Friends, might I propose an—"
"Ok, and Batman told you where we were?" Jinx asked.
"Yea. Robin told us who Batman was on accident." Cyborg said.
"So, how ARE we going to find her?" Mammoth asked.
"They're probably in a building, and we haven't received a hostage note. I have seen enough Law & Order episodes to know that this kidnapping might be slightly ritualistic. That's either a good or bad thing." I said.
"Probably bad. Robin said Cult, remember?" Cyborg asked.
"Yea."
"PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!" Starfire screamed.
"Well Star, all you needed to do was to say you had an idea." Jinx said. Starfire's eyes glowed. Everyone reared back.
"May I suggest that we locate Raven by first locating this?" Starfire pulled out her walkie talkie.
"This is another example of us FORGETTING TO THINK!!!!!!!!" I said. "By the way, Starfire, you are a genius.
We called Raven's walkie talkie.
"I got a reading on it" Cyborg said, looking at his arm.
"It's nothing but static on mine" I said, looking at a fuzzy screen.
"Where is Raven?" Starfire asked.
"The big pointy thing in the sky" Cyborg said, pointing at a very, very tall mountain out the window.
"You have a T-sled, don't you?" Jinx said.
"Well, see, uh, I kinda forgot to uh," Cyborg started.
"We have to hike, princess." I said.
"What!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Beast Boy shouted. "Up THAT thing? No way!" He slammed his fist into the edge of the table.
Beast Boy's fist flung a knife across the room. I was spinning and traveling at a very, very high speed. It plunged itself into my lower chest; a 7 inch knife.
Ok, I didn't put a commercial in there. O well. Please read and review, before writing becomes more of a chore than a passion.
