Chapter 3: What the...?
The next day, Beast Boy went to the arcade again to give Xavier the details of the poem contest. He sneaked behind Xavier, who was playing Street Fighter 3rd Strike, and screamed like a maniac on his ear, scaring the crap out of him.
"What the heck?!" Xavier shouted in surprise.
After staring angrily at BB as he laughed like never before he spoke.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart."
"'Cause I'll give you the info on that contest I talked to you about." He replied with a very playful tone.
Xavier lifted his shoulders briefly and answered.
"Works for me."
"Okay, the contest is three days from now BUT, you have 'til one day before that to get your inscription, got it?" BB said.
Then they heard a beeping sound. BB flipped open his T-comm and saw Robin's face on the screen.
"Beast Boy, there's trouble at Wayne Enterprises. Hurry there!" said the Boy Wonder.
"So...Are you going? Hmm?!" Beast Boy asked Xavier with a very curious expression on his face.
"I'll try not chickening out" Xavier replied unsure of what was he going to do.
Beast Boy waved his hand slightly, then turned into a bird and flew away. Xavier sighed, grabbed a piece of paper, took out a pen he stole a while ago and started writing something on it.
"I wonder how B is doing?" he thought as he put away the paper and pen, and then departed to Wayne Enterprises.
Once there, he heard a large ruckus taking place in one of the offices in one of the top floors. Hastily, he ran inside the building, but a security guard held him back.
"Hey, lemme in! There's a friend of mine in there!" Xavier shouted at the guard.
"Don't worry; we've got everything under control". The guard replies.
There was a sudden explosion outside. Xavier rushed, only to notice Beast Boy lying on the floor. He tried to wake him up, but he was unconscious, when yet another explosion occurred. This awoke a nameless fear in his heart and without hesitation he knocked the security guard against a wall and took the elevator. Suddenly, the elevator stopped and started moving uncontrollably, apparently, from one side to another.
"What the heck's going on with this thing?!" He thought as he got banged from side to side.
Then the elevator split in two pieces and he fell on the ground. The two pieces of elevator "flew" towards a group of computers that were chasing Starfire. Xavier looked back and saw Raven levitating not too far from him.
"Sorry for stopping your ride". She said.
Xavier shook his head, and then Raven was hit by a chair and knocked out of the room. He looked around and noticed Control Freak laughing tirelessly on the floor.
"(Isn't he that Control whatever guy?)" Xavier thought as he stood up and took a deep breath.
"Hey!" he shouted at Control Freak.
The guy stared at Xavier a little confused, and then replied.
"And who the heck are you?" he asked Xavier while making some office tables fight Cyborg.
Then Xavier cracked an evil smile and says: "I'm the hero that saves the day".
"Not on MY movie" Control Freak responded as he orders some boxes fight him with his remote.
Xavier managed to break some, but he was pummeled by the last three.
"Hah! I told ya!" Control Freak cheered, but his smile disappeared when he saw Xavier on his feet.
The boxes rushed at Xavier, but he somehow ran up on the wall, grew claws on his fingertips, then jumped, somehow "landing" on the ceiling and then on Control Freak, stabbing him in his chest. Then the claws hided inside his fingers and Xavier fell unconscious.
That night at Titans Tower, a horrible stench slapped his nose real hard, waking him up.
"See! I told you it was goin' to work!" Cyborg said loudly.
"But dude! Those are MINE! Why don't you use one of yours?" BB shouted at him.
"'Cause I don't have any." Cyborg shouted back.
Xavier placed a hand on his forehead and slightly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the source of that smell.
"Is that what I think it is?!" He barely spoke.
"You mean BB's sock?" Cyborg asked as he moved the sock closer.
Xavier nodded, then grabbed a garbage can that was nearby and puked for about ten seconds.
"Okay." Cyborg said.
Xavier placed the thing back on the floor and wiped his mouth with a pillow. Then Starfire flew inside, holding a plate with a blue gelatin-like stuff with mushrooms in it.
"May I..." She began to speak, but Xavier interrupted her.
"Shh! Can you put it down a little? My head's killing me." He said.
"I do not understand. Why would your own head attempt to destroy you?" She asked confused.
Xavier laughed weakly and answered her question.
"That's just another way of saying of saying that I have a terrible headache."
Star spoke a little softer this time.
"As I was saying. May I offer you this treat as a token of my gratitude for helping us defeat Control Freak?"
"Do you even know me?" He said confused.
"Oh yes! Our friend Beast Boy has told us much about you." She said cheerfully.
"Works for me." Xavier replied as he grabbed the plate and ate the meal Starfire gave him.
"Where's Rob? And Raven?" Xavier scanned the room as he spoke.
"Thought you'd never ask. He's taking his beauty nap and she...where's Raven?" BB asked desperately.
"She said that she was going out, so I don't think we'll be seeing her around soon" Cyborg answered as he stood up and walked towards the exit, stopping at the door.
"You should get some rest, trust me, you'll need it." He said and then left.
"I'll try, but I'll be having nightmares after smelling your stuff B." Xavier joked as he puffed up his pillow.
Starfire and Beast Boy left the room, leaving Xavier alone.
"What happened? Why am I here?" he asked himself.
After much thinking, he finally fell asleep, without knowing the reason of his stay at the Titans Tower.
