Teen Titans: Matrix Reloaded
Chapter 18: Split Up
The Titans and the Andersons continue to run in the dead of night in the Abandoned Sector. They thought they were alone but they were not. Behind them, lurking in the darkness with a sniper gun in hand, was Agent Smith. He was still upset that Geo and his friends have destroyed his building. He cocks his gun and was ready to fire.
"Lets take a brake," Geo said to the Titans and his brother and sister.
The titans and the Andersons stop for a break. They sat down on the pavement to catch their breath.
"Hey bro," Z said to Geo, "Are we there yet?"
Geo checks his map on the laptop and reads the results.
"Not yet," he replied, "We are still 30 miles away from our exit. We'll rest for fifteen minutes and continue."
"I am dying for a thirst," Starfire said, "Does anyone have a some water that I shall drink?"
"You got a water canteen in your utility belt," Trini said, "There is some water in there. All of us got one too."
Starfire checks her belt and takes out a canteen filled with water. She opens it and drinks.
"Robin," Starfire said, "Would you like some?"
"No thanks, Star," Robin said, "I'm not thirsty."
"Say," Cyborg said, "Do we carry any food?"
"Of course," Z said, "I have carried this duffel bag filled pack-and-go food packages. I got sandwiches, tuna, beef, crackers, peanut butter, jelly, cheese, tofu for Beast Boy, and potato chips. You guys will get some later when we stop for another break."
"Speaking of breaks," Terra said, "What about bathroom breaks?"
"Yeah, dude," Beast Boy, "How about that?"
"Well if you need to," Geo said, "Just ask while we run."
"You're saying you're going to leave someone behind when we do our privacy," Raven said.
"Not exactly. Like the task force rangers always say, 'No one gets left behind'."
Suddenly, Geo senses something is watching them. He looks behind and him and sees no one there.
"Something wrong," Raven said.
"Thought I sense somebody behind me," Geo said.
As soon as Geo finished talking, Raven notices something isn't right. She looks at Geo's neck and saw a red dot moving left to right. She looks behind and sees Agent Smith...with a laser, sniper gun.
"GEO, BEHIND YOU," Raven yelled.
"Huh," Geo said.
He turns around and saw Smith. Smith fires his gun. Using matrix bullet-time mode, Raven jumped and pushes Geo out the way. However, it was too late. The bullet hit Geo in the arm. Geo screams in pain as he is hit.
"GEO," Z yelled.
The titans and the Andersons went to check on Geo.
"IS HE," Raven said, "IS HE..."
"No," Z said, "He's wounded. There is a sniper on the roof. I'll take care of it."
Z throws a grenade at the building where the sniper is. It was a direct hit. However, what Z does not know is that the Smith he killed was a clone. After that, he went back to aid his fallen brother.
"Trini," Z said, "Give me a first aid can."
Trini opens her bag and gives Z a first aid can. Z shakes and sprays the can on Geo's wound. However, the can only had a little ounce of spray left. That means that Geo is still wounded.
"Can you move your arm," Robin said to Geo.
"Yeah a little," Geo said as he got up, "I like to thank Raven for saving me. Thanks Rae."
"No problem," she said.
Suddenly, Geo heard something fire behind him. He looks. It was an RPG heading straight at him.
"RPG," Geo yelled, "TAKE COVER!"
The team took cover. The rocket exploded really close to them but they managed to survive by ducking and lying on the ground.
"IS EVERYBODY OKAY," Geo yelled to the titans and his flesh.
"Yeah we're fine," Cyborg said.
"Hey where's Raven," Beast Boy said.
"LOOK," Starfire said pointing to the left.
The team looked. To their horror, Raven flew 20 ft. to the ground and was unconscious.
"OH MY GOD," Geo yelled, "RAVEN!"
Geo went to help her. Raven was knocked out completely and was injured badly.
"Raven, you got to hang on," Geo said, "You have to get up, please."
"GEO," Z said, "WE GOT TO GO! THE AGENTS ARE COMING!"
"GO ON WITHOUT ME! I HAVE TO SAVE RAVEN! I GOT AN IDEA: WE'LL SPLIT UP AND FIND SHELTER."
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I AM GOING TO LEAVE YOU AGAIN!"
"LISTEN TO ME GODDAMNIT! AS CAPTAIN OF THIS TEAM, I AM ORDERING YOU TO MOVE OUT! I WILL CONTACT YOU SOME HOW! NOW GO!"
"NO WAY! I WILL..."
"Z," Robin yelled, "LET HIM GO! WE CAN HANDLE IT! YOU GOT TO TRUST YOUR OWN BROTHER!"
Z thinks for a minute.
"ALRIGHT," Z said, "BUT YOU MAKE YOU SURE YOU GET ASS BACK HERE ALIVE, GEO! ALRIGHT GUYS, MOVE OUT!"
The titans left by going north to the exit of the abandoned sector while Geo remains with Raven still trying to aid her. He picks Raven up, puts her on his shoulder blade, and decided to run with all of his strength. He ran south to an abandoned apartment building to his left. He opens the door and inside. The apartment was old and dusty. Geo opens Apartment room 1 and goes in. Inside was an old couch with a kitchen. It had broken windows and torn up walls with holes in it.
Geo puts Raven on the couch to let her rest. He opens his bag and takes out one of his healing medicines. He uses a needle gives her a shot.
You have to be okay Raven, Geo thought to himself. I do not want you to die on me.
