Psilontech: Yes, there is a possibility one of the Titans are going to be bit, either this chapter or the next. and there is a slight possibility it could be Raven, but that's all I'm going to reveal… and yeah I noticed the spelling mistake a little too late and didn't feel like replacing the chapter for one word, oh well :p Oh and what was the other zombie/titan fic? I'd like to read it.
Authors Note: Terribly sorry for long wait people. I've been experiencing some writers block and have been real busy lately,
Chapter Three:
The Titans pushed open the door and ran out of the hospital as fast as they possibly could, they came to an abrupt stop as they came face to face with yet another group of zombies making it's way past the caution tape. They looked like the ones they had seen on the news earlier.
"Raven, get us back to the tower!" Robin said his voice shaky, in all reality he barely managed to speak at all. Raven glowed black for a second and then a black forcefeild appeared around the Titans and the forcefeild sunk into the ground taking the five teens with it.
After feeling a cold sensation down their spines and feeling a wee bit dizzy the Titans opened their eyes to discover they were safely back in Titans Tower. They shook off the shock of being transported by Raven and got to their feet. The power had come back on, and a news report was blaring on the television.
"What the heck is going on?" Cyborg said looking at the TV screen. "These things are attacking people! Where are they all coming from?"
"The graveyard!" Beast Boy replied "Duh! They're zombies, walking dead! I knew this was going to happen!"
"Those people just recently died" Raven told him "They weren't even buried yet, they still had clothes on" Robin paced for a moment and looked at the continuing news report.
"The patients went it complaining about sickness" Robin told them "They obviously died from that, but what's bringing them back?" The Titans stared at the TV screen for a minute to take in the news report.
All transportation to and from the city has been shut down to keep the viral infection from spreading. Over half of the Jump City population has been infected. When, where, or how the virus started is still unknown but all the patients that have come down with it have been acting strangely…
"How could over half the population be infected in under an hour!" Exclaimed Cyborg.
"It probably started a day or two ago, it's just taken this long for it to spread so much that people actually start noticing it" Raven replied.
"Whatever is going on, we need to go back down there and find the source of the infection" Robin told the rest of the team "Maybe we can figure out how to stop it from spreading further"
"I'm not going back down there!" Beast Boy exclaimed pointing out the window at the city across the bay. "Zombies can't swim, we're safer up here!"
"Yes, but the city needs us, we have to go back down there" Robin told him. Beast Boy gulped and looked reluctantly out the window.
Meanwhile, 2 miles outside Jump city at the Umbrella campsite
One of the head scientists of the T-virus research program, Dr. Fender, was talking on his cell phone while other scientists once again sat in front of their laptops.
"I don't know how we're going to cover it up this time!" Fender screamed into his phone. "It's the second outbreak in under a year, and people are still talking about the last one! Even though it wasn't supposed to have happened! We had to cut the power to shut up the reporters!"
"Well, that's your problem now isn't it but I'm still going to proceed with the research" said a voice on the other line and Fender heard a click and brought his phone from his ear and stared at it.
"Ignorant bastard" he muttered.
Jump City Movie Theater, half an hour later
It was nearing three o clock in the afternoon, anyone who wasn't infected were hiding out in their homes while undead prowled the streets looking for a meal. The Titans, probably the only living thing that dared to go outside were inspecting the movie theater. A car had crashed into a nearby building, overall the cities appearance didn't look very good. Robin stepped over a fallen down poster for a movie and stepped into a cinema where a movie was on the screen, there was sound on the screen and Robin guessed the equipment had probably been screwed up in some way. He walked back out as the other Titans looked behind the counter of the concession stand. Then they noticed something odd, another theater, on the other side of the lobby had a chair propped up against the door as if locking something in there.
"That's interesting" Cyborg commented walking up to the chair, he reached out.
"Wait" Raven said "It's probably there for a reason" Cyborg jerked his hand back.
"I err, knew that" he said. There was a strange noise from inside the theater that sounding sort of like a pig vomiting. Beast Boy gulped and blinked his eyes.
"Ten bucks says there's zombie's in there, let's get outta here!"
"Or there could be survivors, trying to keep the zombie's out" Robin differed. There was a pause.
"Then why is the chair on the outside of the door?" Starfire asked innocently. Robin scratched the back of his head.
"Well…just in case" he said. Without another word he reached out and knocked the chair to the side and opened the door. A pack of zombie's tumbled out and the Titans jumped back in fear.
"Titans, go!" Robin yelled readying another handful of assault weapons. Raven mentally threw the chair at the zombie's knocking a few over. A teenage kid with black hair grabbed Robin by the shoulder who kicked the zombie off of him and right under the chin, he heard his neck snap as he fell to the ground and didn't move as ten others made their way out of the theater. Starfire took out five at a time with a shower of starbolts. Cyborg loaded up his sonic cannon and blasted the head off of a zombie, who went flying back into the theater.
"That's right!" Cyborg cheered. "And stay out! You punk ass! You momma's boy! You little bitch!" suddenly he heard a clanking noise and looked down at his arm where a zombie had attempted to bite him but got nothing but a mouthful of metal.
"Titanium, like it?" Cyborg said and then punched the zombie in the stomach; it fell back on the ground. That being the last of the zombie's, Robin looked at the others.
"Is everyone alright?" He asked. Everyone except Beast Boy, who was cowering in fear, nodded in response. Suddenly, the zombie that had attempted biting Cyborg sprang back up and sank its teeth into Robin's forearm. Starfire gasped in fear.
"ARRGGH!" Screamed Robin as he yanked his arm away, a neon green flash of light sped by him and collided with the zombie's head. Beast Boy finally snapped.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" he screamed in bloody murder and made a break for the door. The other Titans running quickly behind him.
Okay, another bad ending, sorry I would write more but it's about 2 AM and I'm about to collapse on my keyboard and it's been a long enough delay.
Oh yes, whoever can tell me the name of the guy at the end of Apocalypse who was showing Alice how to use the pen and crap gets a cookie…because I sure don't know it.
Whoever can guess who I'm dressing up as for Halloween also get's a cookie.
