Part 2
Speedy walked into the hang out area, he still straightening his shirt.
"Senior Speedy!" Mas Y Menos said at the same time as they hugged Speedy's legs. From lack of leg room, Speedy fell to the ground with a bang. He snarled and looked down at the two speedsters.
"Get off me or you're dead!" Speedy growled, his teeth gleaming.
"¡AH! ¡MORIREMOS!" Mas yelled in fear.
"¡CORRA! ¡CORRA!" Menos yelled as he ran for the door, his brother soon following him. Speedy got up and straightened his shirt again. Bumblebee stared at him as she sat at the table, her eyebrows cocked.
"What's the deal with you?" She said putting down her glass of water. Speedy let out a heavy sigh.
"Tense, that's all," Speedy said walking into the kitchen. Bumblebee got up and followed him into the kitchen.
"Do ya wanna talk about it?" She said leaning on the counter. Speedy pulled out leftover pizza from last night and threw it onto a plate.
"No," Speedy said sticking the pizza into the microwave, slamming the door, and pressing the cook time on the keypad.
"Are you sure?" Bumblebee said getting of the counter. Speedy glared at the corner of his eye.
"Yes," Speedy growled. Without sound, Aqualad walked into the kitchen, smile still on his face, holding the picture from Speedy's room.
"I know why old archer is grumpy," Aqualad smiled as he held up the picture of Terri.
Terri road in the back seat of the taxi. She looked out the window at street vendors. Suddenly, one stand caught her eye.
"Stop the cab, I'll be back in a sec. Keep the meter runnin' if ya wanna," Terri said getting out of the back seat of the taxi car. She walked up to the street vendors stand and looked over all the shirts displayed. All over the shelves was super-hero logos, from Batman to Superman, from the Flash to Wonder Woman. Then, she saw all the logos belonging to some of the titans, including Terra's and surprisingly, her's.
"Sir, how much do these shirts cost?" Terri said pulling out her wallet.
" Ten for five shirts," The man said gruffly.
"I'll take a Robin shirt, a superman shirt, a flash shirt, and two Terri shirts; one black, one white," Terri said, pulling out ten dollars left over from the coffee.
"We a Terri fan, huh?" The man said handing Terri her bag of clothes. Terri smiled.
"I'm her biggest fan,"
"Then do I have a deal for you. Since you're such a sweet girl, I'll give you an original Terri shirt, one she gave to me as a gift," The vendor whispered away from the other boys that were trying on Terri shirts. Terri smiled.
"Sure she did," Terri said with a smile, "Ah, what the heck, throw it in there," The man reached under the counter and pulled out Terri's hero top. Terri grabbed it and held it up.
"I wore that?" She said, her nose scrunched, the vender looked at her strangely.
"Um, I mean, I will this tonight! Yeah, that's it!" Terri said wincing. She gave a nervous laugh and thanked the man. Terri ran back the into the cab, setting her stuff on the seat next to her.
"Step on it..." Terri said leaning her head back on the headrest. All the sudden, a man climbed in the back seat of the cab. Terri went wide eyed and grabbed her stuff. She started to sweat.
"Parker Place, please," The man said staring down at his pom piolet. The taxi driver looked in his rear view mirror at the man.
"We're heading in that direction, but first we have to stop at Titans Tower," The driver said putting the car in drive. The man looked over at Terri, you was at this point having a panic attack.
"A Titan fan aren't we?" The man said. Terri nodded, swallowing the spit that was building up in the back of her throat. The man leaned in toward her.
"Which titan do you like?" He said, almost darkly and uncomfortably.
"T-Terri, sir," Terri stuttered, starring at her shaking hands. She didn't know why she was afraid. Was it the man or was it the fact that her identity might be revealed.
"You know, she quit the titans? Heard she needed to find herself or something," The man said deeply. Terri looked over at him. He had red eyes.
"O-oh really..." Terri stuttered again, her hands shaking even more.
"Not someone you want to look up to, I guess," The man said, Terri to scared to even argue. The man continues, "Has anyone told you that you look exactly like her,"
"I-I-I hear it all the time sir,"
"You know, if I'm not mistaken, if you put on her outfit and tied your hair back, you could pass off as her," The man said, smirking. Terri swallowed again, but suddenly the cab stopped. Terri looked out the window and saw the enormous T shaped building. Terri handed the money to the taxi driver, grabbed her stuff, and quickly opened the door. As she was about to leave, the man grabbed her arm and deeply said into her ear, "Nice riding with you," Terri pulled away and shut car door. Terri got over her chills and put on a smile. She walked toward the tower. Back in the cab, the man smirked and pulled out a walkie talkie.
"Boss, I found her," The man said quietly so the taxi driver could hear him. The man let out a cold, evil laugh.
"Why you stupid fish!" Speedy yelled charging at Aqualad. Aqualad smiled and took off running. Aqualad jumped off the balcony to dive into the pool on the first floor, but Speedy, not far behind, jumped forward and pelted into his back. The two heroes plunged into the pool. They both came up, treading as they spat out water. There, at the edge of the pool where black boots with yellow tips. Speedy remembered those boots.
"The party started without me? Aw, that's harsh, Speedy," A familiar voice said. Speedy looked up and blushed. It was her. Her long brown hair, those deep green eyes, her tan skin. It was her, it was Terri.
