Chapter 14: Gang Warfare
Robin was in the mainframe computer room seaching for any kind of criminal disturbance. It had been to quiet over the past couple of days and that usually meant something big was coming up. "Every time its always one small thing then another gigantic hiest or some crazy new villian." Robin said leaning his cheek on his palm as he clicked away at police reports. They mostly consisted of minor crimes such as car theft, domestic distubances, and assault. Robin started to get a little interested in the rise of car theft but other than that there was really nothing. "Guess i'll just train again for to..." Something caught Robins eye. "Five people dead in ally way?" Robin said to himself not quit beliving that anything like that had happend without him being notified of it. "I gotta start yelling at the police more often." he said getting up to go to the scene. He was getting his gear when he realized something, the deaths were in between rival gang grounds. "Damn, just what I need right now is a gang war." he said as he walked out of the mainframe and into the light of the hallway. He was blinded for a second and realized Starfire was standing in the light. "Robin umm..I was wondering are you busy right now?" Starfire said hovering and rubbing her ankles together looking down. "Im sorry Star, I have to go downtown to check sometihng out." Robin said running his finger over her face putting a lock of hair behind her ear. "I'll see you later okay?" he said running off to the garage. "O all right." Starfire said sounding really sad, she was glad he had been so energetic but she had wanted to ask him out for some time. "Next time I see him, no matter what." she said with determination on he face. Robin got on the R-Cycle and started it up.
"Hey boss! We got a huge problem." a young teen looking about seventeen years old dressed in baggy pants and a hoddie that had the symbol of a burning dog head on it. "What is it." The older man in the middle of two armed goons said. He was ominous with short buzz cut White hair, and a stern look and two red streaks on either side of his. He wore a white tank top and a pair of faded camoflage pants with a well built muscular frame. "I Just heard about what happened to Frankie and the others! They been shot boss its a friggin blood bath!" the teen said as he panted and held his side. "I want names, connections, and a group to do the killing now." he said coldly to his bodyguard. He nodded and ran to the building they walked out of "So whats gonna happen boss?" The teen said as he stood up strait and looked at his leader. He turned from his member and said flatly "Someone is gonna pay."
and walked away into the broken down building.
Terra was playing around with some rocks she conjured from the beach. They floated in intricate patterns and went so fast they looked more like rings than stones. Beast boy was swimming around as an otter diving to find one thing or another. He swam over to the docks and found one of the shell casings from the attack. Terra took the stones and skipped a couple across the water, watching the ripples spawn from the hits of the rocks. Beast Boy jumped from the water and shook off as he morphed back to his normal self. "Hey Terra, I found one of thoses cases from the attack while I was down there. Maybe Robin can get an idea on who these guys are." Terra nodded and just put her head on her arms. "Do you think we'll ever get a break from all this BB?" she said in kind of a nostalgic feel. "Of course we will Terra. After this whole mess is over we'll all go out and get some pizza at our normal place." he said walking over to her and lifting her head. "Promise." she said with a slight smile. "Cross my heart!" he said with great coviction. "Okay then BB you have to keep that undestand." she said pointing a finger into his face and onto his lips causing him to get a more serious look. "I always keep my promises remember." he said picking up Terra and smiling heartfully twords her. They both leaned in and kissed gently. Starfire was at the top of the tower looking at them and she smiled, her friends had a very strong bond twords each other that couldnt be broken. "I just wish that..." Starfire started to say as a tear ran down her cheek. As much as she wanted to deny, it was begining to look like she might not be able to express her feelings till it was to late to say anything. "It is not fair, many of the other earth customs i have succeded in such as cooking, football, and several forms of politeness." she said thinking to the time Beast Boy had taught her that it was a good thing to stick your toungue at at people in Tibet. "But this dating ritual is more complicated than the understanding of Carpathian Theory." she said feeling defeated.
Robin had arrived at the scene which now had only the Homicide Investigation Squad or H.I.S. to tend the bodys and see what evidence they could pick up. "Well thats better than having the police picking through this mess." he spotted on of guys on the team as someone he had known from gotham. "Well, well if it isn't Robin. I had heard from the other guys that you were the regent heros leader. Glad to have you here, its a real mess." the detective said smiling at Robin with a sign of relief. Working in Gotham had opened him up to the idea to grown men in costumes running around a fighting crime. Batman after all was an almost essential part of the Gotham police department in solving crimes and apprehension of felons. Having his younger counterpart with them was going to be a great burden lifted off thier shoulders. "It seems that it was a very professional hit, all except for the mess." he said shifting his foot so that he didnt step on one of the victims legs. "The bullets were from a military grade rifle of huge size that to me seemed like it could only be fired from a mounted position." the detective said pointing to the only building that was suited to have the same tradjectery. "This isnt good." Robin said with a stale voice. The suspected building was on the other side of the river, and where another gang known as the Warhogs. "I smell a bad gang war coming." Robin said to the detective who was telling the other men to tag and bag. "I hope your ready for a bloody season." the detective said lighting a cigarette.
Across the river on the east side of town. The Warhog gang was relaxing in a old run down shelter. "So what did we get from that bastard who pulled the knife on us." a member said to his buddy. "Well, the knife for one. Which is pretty damn nice, along with about sixty bucks." he said flipping out a butterfly knife and stabbing it through the three twentys. "Well that'll buy us diner and hopefully a bribe or two." one of the other guys said kicking his feet up onto a crate where he was sitting. Suddenly the door swung open and a scared and bloody teen was standing in the doorway. "Its...the Hellion Dogs! They've gone crazy!" he said pointing down the hall. As he did however he was cut down by a hail of bullets. The strike team that the leader of the Dogs had put together had traced who they belived to be the killers. "MY GOD!" the younger member of the group screamed as he was faced with what the teen had been cut down by. The group of killers from the Dogs had one AK 47 and an assortment of automatic pistols. There was automatic gunfire, screams, then silence.
Robin had been heading back to the tower when he heard the shots in the distance. "It's started." he said to himself as he heard police reports fill the air. Robin decided to not get the others involved. "I dont want any of them to see what might play out." he said to himself hitting the breaks and doing a 180 turn and speeding off. Starfire was now asleep after trying to pull herself together. She decided that the best course of action was to stop him with whatever he was doing at the time and ask him no matter what. "Think she'll be okay?" Terra asked Beast Boy who was putting in a movie for them. "Definatly, if theres anything i know about Star its that she makes a fast recovery to any unhappiness." he said reassuringly.
Aedea had gotten up and limped over to her equipment. She was still heavily bandaged and was basically wearing only the bandages and the sheet. She sat down cross-legged which made a popping noise in her knee. She grimaced but paid it no mind, after all that laying down she expected to feel really weak. She slid one of her suitcases full of equipment over and lifted the lock. She may have been a cold blooded killer but sometimes she needed to have a little down time. The suitcase contained sented candles and a silk robe which she changed into almost imediatly. The robs was red and black that had intricitly detailed rose on the back. She set the candles around her and lit them with the blow torch from her flamethrower. She positioned herself in the middle of the candles and spread around some rose petals. Soon she was in a meditational trance, letting the light of the candles swim around her. After about an hour, Shiv walked in and she lost concentration. The rose petals that were on the ground had been floting about an inch and they dropped. "Sorry to disturb you sister but we have another problem." he said twirling a throwing knife in his fingers. She smiled and got up closing her robe and walking over to him. "What is it now?" she said kissing him on the cheek and embracing him. "It seems the titans are combating a local gangwar. As much as I dont like it I think we should end it for them." Aedea got a puzzled look on her face and put the back of her hand on his forehead. He took her hand off and smirked, "I know what im doing, trust me." Aedea just looked away and shook her head in agreement. "I want to make sure we are prepared for the worst. I realize our mission is to destroy the titans but if we dont do it with them at full strengh it would be unfair." Shiv said lighting a cigerette and inhaling deeply. Aedea had walked over to the table where she had layed and sat down. "By the way, Cy called. He's shaking up the two titans who hurt you and killed Sparks." Aedea's eyes went wide and her mouth dropped. She was of course angry that she couldnt finish them herself. But to know that they would have to deal with Cy was enough to make her skin crawl. "That phychopath! Shiv why did you call him!" Shiv blew out smoke and said "I didnt, it was Mother" Aedea looked down at her swaying feet and shook her head, "This wont end well will it Shiv?" he looked out to the other room. "No Aedea, no it wont." and with that he walked twords his little brother and the girl.
Larson was showing her the equipment and things that needed to be done. "There's Aedea's mini-gun to fix. Its a bloddt mess, Shivs blades need to be cleaned, and Aedea needs a new change of bandages." he said to Sicele as he went down the pile of equipment. "I'll start with Aedea and then clean the blades alright?" she said in a peppy additude that made Larson smile slightly. "Fine with me, just be sure that the blades are properly tightened as well." Larson said hefting the mini-gun over to the table in the room. "So you've taken a liking to the girl?" Shiv said helping his brother with the rather heavy weapon. "She has her usefulness brother." Larson said grabbing his tools. "Just make sure that she knows that she may be in danger before she decides to stay." Shiv said glancing over to her as she wiped the dust and blood from his blades in the corner. "Don't worry, she's a stronger girl than you think." Larson said turning to his work and not saying another word.
Legato: I wonder what he meant by that.
Forte: O well, at least we get to see some good old fasioned shoot outs.
Legato: If by old fasioned you mean with assault rifles.
Forte: You mean like this one! (pulls out an AR-15)
Legato: No, more like this one (Grabs his M-16)
(Shots fired till no sound is heard from either side)
Review please, and if youd like. Suggest ways you think they should kill each other Muahaha!
