Psilontech: Thanks for your review, and yes I believe that is what peter would say
Mortal Guardian: No I wasn't planning on having one, but thanks for the idea! I'll definitely take it into consideration.
Stefanie Johnson: Yeah, I thought that would confuse people, my view is that people have already seen the footage of the actual incident that was supposed to be a fake, so they are still talking about it even though it wasn't real. Anyways thanks for your review!
Evanlicious: Thanks for the review, I'll try to keep those things in mind!
Authors Note: Spelling/Grammar mistake in last chapter: When Robin asked if there was a battery powered TV he said "Mansion" he should have said "Tower" Sorry bout that, I'm writing an original story and there's a lot of the word 'Mansion'…
Chapter Two: The dead walk
"Me and Cyborg will go check out the hospital, Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy go check out the power plant" Robin ordered the other Titans as he sped through the streets on his R-cycle while Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy flew and Cyborg rode in the T-car. Robin and Cyborg sped towards the hospital while the other three changed course toward the power plant. It was sunny out and didn't seem like a day for disaster but that unfortunately was not the case.
When Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy got to the power plant they looked around, no one was there, and nothing seemed to be wrong.
"It doesn't seem to be tampered with" Starfire said walking carefully past the gigantic towers.
"It could have been a line somewhere else" Beast Boy pointed.
"Then why would the whole city go out?" Raven asked. She spotted something on the far wall of the power plant. The power switches for the city…they'd all been shut off. The three of them walked slowly over to them, Raven examined it carefully. There were four switches, the power supply for the city had been divided into fours, someone had shut them all off.
"I'm getting the feeling this wasn't an accident"
Cyborg and Robin screeched to a halt in front of the hospital. There was an absence of the people that had been there earlier during the news report.
"Where'd everyone go?" Cyborg asked Robin who put his helmet on the handlebar of the bike and looked around. The news truck was still parked there, there was a microphone on the ground, the cameras and police cars were still there but no people, even the patients were gone.
"Maybe we should check inside" Robin told Cyborg starting toward the door. He suddenly stopped as he heard his com-link ringing he grabbed it out of his pocket and opened it up, it was Raven and the others.
"Find anything?" Robin asked.
"No, but we did find out why the power went off, somebody shut the whole plant down" Raven informed him. Robin thought for a moment, there was something definitely suspicious about that.
"Was there anyone there?" Robin asked.
"No" Raven replied. Robin looked behind him at the hospital, there was something creepy about it.
"Meet us back at the hospital we're going to take a look around" Robin informed her. Raven nodded and cut the connection.
After successfully turning back on the cities power supply the three Titans flew their way towards the hospital, the streets below had jammed traffic and many people were honking their horns at one another wondering what the holdup was. Raven, Beast Boy, and Starfire flew downwards towards the hospital where Cyborg and Robin were looking around for any evidence. They landed safely on the ground in front of the two Titans.
"Where'd all the reporters and policemen go?" Beast Boy asked turning back into human form and scratching the back of his head.
"That's what we were wondering" Cyborg replied. There was a weird pause in which the Titans gave each other questioning looks.
"Well" Robin said "Shall we have a look inside?" The Titans headed toward the two glass doors, Robin pushed it open and entered the quiet hospital. There was no receptionist at the desk, the hallways were dark and eerie.
"Hello!" Robin called "Is there anyone in here?" his voice echoed down the halls with no answer. Raven walked over to the receptionist desk and peered behind it.
"Uhh, guys" she said "Might wanna look at this" the other Titans walked over to Raven and looked behind the desk, there was blood spattered on the keyboard and all over the desk, where the blood came from, however was unknown. No one was behind the counter.
"Okay, well this has been fun but I'll meet you guys back at the tower" Beast Boy said pointing behind his back with his thumb.
"You aint going no where" Cyborg said turning to Beast Boy but suddenly caught sight of something else at the far end of the hall. A person…they walked slowly around the corner, slouching with its eyes looking at the floor. Another one soon followed it and then three or four more. No one said anything as the people approached. The first person that had come out was a man wearing a hospital gown, he had dark brown hair and looked about thirty. The patients' skin was pale and grey and their hospital gowns were stained with blood.
"Uhh something is way weird about this" Beast Boy said, his voice shaky. The person at the front of the group made a moaning noise and picked his head up to look at the Titans. His eyes were white and piercing.
"These people" Raven suddenly gasped "They aren't even alive!" The Titans' attention turned to Raven.
"How do you know?" Robin asked.
"I can sense it" Raven said.
"If they are not alive, then how are they walking?" Starfire asked floating a few inches above the ground. Cyborg pressed a button on his arm and held it up to the people who were now about twenty feet away. They noticed yet another four or five come around the corner following the first group, and even more after that until there were too many to count.
"She's right, they have no life signs" Cyborg informed. Robin readied three birdarangs and held them between his fingers.
"Get ready to attack…" He ordered. The zombie's were slowly advancing on them…fifteen feet away…ten…eight
"NOW!" Robin shouted and threw the birdarang at the nearest Zombie it hit the zombie in the chest. A brigade of Starbolts flew past Robin and hit the zombie behind that one knocking it on the ground. Beast Boy hesitated to go anywhere near them as Cyborg shot a sonic cannon at two others and Raven shot random projectiles at them. The one with the birdarang in it's chest kept walking towards the Titans with the ones behind it still fully alive…err… dead…whatever.
"What?" Robin exclaimed. The zombie Robin attacked grabbed him by the arm, Robin yanked it away, there was way too many, Robin jumped back five or so feet.
"RETREIT!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.
Ugh. Bad chapter, crappy ending…review please
