Got my chapter posted, and about time too. Sorry for the delay, but my computer's been freezing periodically and it was getting hard for me to write. But I'm back and ready for this. Well, the reviews seem a little slow, but I'm pretty sure that everyone's reading my story. Not to mention that there are some people that want me to hurry up with the next chapter. I just wanted to say that I have other stuff to do as well. So me writing this chapter is going to take some time. All I need to say is that you guys need to be patient until I post the next chapter. Speaking of which, I should get on with chapter at once. The Titans split up to find where the Hoodz are hanging out to ask some questions. But when it comes to LM, he would beat them up first and ask questions later.

Chapter Notes

The Hoodz are like a bunch of gang characters from the video game, Manhunt. Plus, someone else from the first chapter of Nightfire is going to make an appearance; you just gotta read to find out.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans.

Chapter 10: Hoodz Beat Down

On the streets of Jump City, in the dark of night, the Teen Titans split up in search for the Hoodz usual hangouts, leaving Terra to aid Starfire in the tower until she wakes up. As per ordered, Raven and Cyborg went downtown in the T Car in search of some places LM marked on the map. After going through an arcade and a karaoke bar, they found nothing. Robin, driving his R-Cycle, and Nightfire, who was flying, went to the suburbs doing the same thing, by looking over a junkyard and national park. They too had no luck searching for the gang. And LM and Beast Boy took the Pontiac GTO and drove to the city docks, where they start with the first place that was marked on the map.

The GTO was parked on in an alley way not to far away from one of the Hoodz usual hangouts. LM was at the steering wheel while Beast Boy sat next to him.

Beast Boy: "So let me get this straight. Of all places the Hoodz hang out at, they have to pick a billiards bar?"

LM: "That's what the Zealots database said. The billiards bar is where all the gangs hang out and rumor has it that there are a lot of fights inside."

Beast Boy: "Please don't tell me that you're getting into any fight in there."

LM: "Any reason why I won't get involved?"

Beast Boy: "Because every time you get into a fight, you are the only one still standing while the others either get knocked out or killed."

LM: "You say that like it's a bad thing. Listen, this is going to be different. I'll go in, check the place out, and call the others incase the Hoodz are here. If they're not there, we'll go to the next location. You're going to be my backup, right?"

Beast Boy: "Yeah, but if I get in there, they will be like, "Hey look, it's one of the Titans! KILL HIM!" And the next thing you know, BANG, I'm going to be in a pool of blood. I don't want to die; I got a long life ahead. I want to propose to Terra in the near future, I haven't paid for a moped, I never-"

LM: "BEAST BOY! Chill the hell down will ya? You know you can enter the bar in disguise. You're a changeling, remember?"

Beast Boy had a red face filled with embarrassment as an anime sweat drop came down his side of his head.

Beast Boy: "ha ha… oops, my bad… So what am I going as?"

LM: "Just go as something that's no one will notice. You know, an animal that can fit in a bar environment."

Beast Boy: "Got it. What about you? What if they find out about you?"

LM: "I'm pretty sure I can handle it myself. If the heat gets a little too hot, I'll signal you for back up."

Beast Boy: "What kind of signal?"

LM: "You know it when I say it. Let's go!"

A few minutes later, LM was walking down the docks and headed to a building with a neon sign that says, "Crazy Paul's Billiards Zone". The building was painted in a metallic blue and black coat and at the top of the building was a big eight ball with a pool stick hitting it. He quickly looked around and saw no bouncers in the area, meaning it's going to be easier then he thought. Before he entered the building, he looked to his left and noticed Beast Boy, who morphed into a mouse, going into a small hole.

LM: "Lucky rat bastard…"

LM then entered the billiards bar and looked around at his surroundings. The place seems like a normal everyday billiards room with six to seven pool tables, five arcade games separated in different directions, a jukebox playing some classic rock, and a bar in the western wall. LM then approached the bar and sat on one of the stools. The owner of the bar, Paul, approached LM with a customer satisfying face.

Paul: "Good evening sir, what can I get you?"

LM looked at the bartender and smiled.

LM: "Get me some coke and a shot of Sangria."

The bartender nodded and went to get his drinks. LM then looked around to see that there're a few people playing pool or hanging out. He thought that maybe if he can wait a little while, something might happen. Suddenly the door opened loudly followed by a group of eight people laughing and talking. He quickly noticed one of the shirts that had a picture of a gas mask with a name below it reading "Hoodz". LM smiled when he saw them.

LM: "Looks like I won't have to wait after all."

Paul then gave LM the soda and the shot of Sangria and LM gave the signal for thanks. The Hoodz approached one of pool tables, as one of the members shout out to the Paul.

Hoodz member 1: "Hey Paul! Bottles of Corona and keep them coming!"

Paul: "What's the celebration for today guys?"

Hoodz member 1: "That's something you don't want to know Paul. Now give us a round of Coronas and make them snappy."

Paul shook his head since he doesn't want to know at all. LM looked over his shoulder and see Beast Boy scurrying across the floor, not getting caught. He then went under the table close to where the Hoodz were, to spy on them. LM gave a smirk, knowing that Beast Boy's keeping a real low profile, then went back to his drinks and sipped on his Coke. Back to the Hoodz, they were standing around playing a game of pool.

Hoodz member 2: "So, what's the plan for tonight man?"

Hoodz member 1: "We'll wait here until the boss gives us the call. Then we'll proceed on the operation."

Hoodz member 3: "So what's Johnny's plan anyways? There could be a reason why we have to use some heavy weapons and moving to Jump City."

Hoodz member 1: "Glad you asked homie. You see, Johnny told me to tell you guys that we're going to make a huge impact on Jump City. An impact so hard that we will make history. Gentleman, we are going to kill the Teen Titans."

LM's eyes widened when he heard the news. Beast Boy, who his below one of the pool tables next to the Hoodz's own was shocked too.

Hoodz member 2: "You're serious? We're going to destroy the city's finest teenage team?"

Hoodz member 1: "That's right. Apparently, our new boss had a few run ins with them and he got beaten so badly. And it's the same team that took out some of our buddies in Metro a few months ago. He wants redemption and we want revenge. And thanks to Johnny's connections with a few black market weapons specialists, we'll take the Titans down one by one."

Hoodz member 3: "That's great man. I heard these weapons have armor piercing ammunition and have locking systems attached to them. The teenage freak shows won't know what hit him."

Hoodz member 4: "Yeah well you're all forgetting about their honorary member."

Hoodz member 5: "You mean that gun shooting, kung fu fighting hot head that likes to take challenges? Yeah, I heard of him. He once was a leader of his own team, surviving the streets down in Metro. And there're rumors about him posses strange powers, you know like stopping bullets, flying around, that kind of shit. The dude's pretty tough."

Hoodz member 1: "Look, it doesn't matter if this guy's an extremist or superhuman. They are all the same. The Titans are tough but they ain't invincible."

The bartender approached the gang with a tray filled with Corona beer bottles. All the members grabbed the bottles and opened the tops off them.

Hoodz member 1: "All that matters is that we are all looking forward to the future. And thanks to our new boss, he's going to make it our reality. To the Johnny Rancid!"

Hoodz members: "Yeah!"

They all toast each other and drank their Coronas. LM kept looking a few times so that way the Hoodz won't notice. When he finished drinking his shot of Sangria and a glass of coke, he stood up and headed towards the restrooms. Once he was in the restroom, he took out his cell phone to call Robin. After a few rings, Robin picked it up.

Robin: "Hello."

LM: "Robin, it's me LM. I got some good news and bad news."

Robin: "Start with the good news first."

LM: "Well the good news is that I found a group of Hoodz members hanging out at Crazy Paul's Billiards Zone at the city docks."

Robin: "That's great! What's the bad news?"

LM: "Well, both Johnny and the Hoodz want to kill us. I guess Johnny's sick of being beaten by you guys and the Hoodz didn't like when we took out some of their friends at Merovingian's meeting a few months back. And the worst part is that they have weapons that can kill us, don't know what kind of weapons they are, but the way they talked about it sounds bad."

Robin: "I see. Sounds like it's not going to be pretty."

LM: "Do you want me to take them out? I got Beast Boy standing by ready to pounce on them."

Robin: "No! It's best you two should get out of the place and wait for us outside. Give me the coordinance to the billiards place and I'll alert the others. Once we get there, we'll surprise them."

LM: "Roger that."

Back at the bar, a drunken person was sitting on his stool, drinking his life away with bottles of Jack Daniels on the counter. The person is infact the gang leader that Nightfire beat him and his team a few weeks ago.

Gang Leader: "GONE! It's all gone. All that planning being whooshed away like dust. Wo-wo, good-bye, see ya!"

The bartender saw him drinking his sorrow away so he took action and approached him.

Paul: "Man, stop drinking all my drinks. You're scaring away my customers here."

Gang Leader: "I don't care anymore. I had a crew, I had a plan, I had everything I need, and I was about to pull the biggest heist in Gotham." hiccup… "But some crazy bitch from a future I don't know about showed up out of nowhere and ruined everything. My teams in jail, my plan down the toilet, and I have to drink all my pain away with gallons of Jacks."

Paul: "And by the way it looks, you are doing a bang up job. Look, I think you had enough Jack Daniels for one day."

Gang Leader: "I DON'T CARE!" hiccup… "I'M NOT DRUNK ENOUGH! I NEED TO WASH AWAY MY PAIN DAMN IT!"

As soon as the gang leader kept on drinking and bitching, LM got out of the restroom after giving the coordinates to Robin and was about to leave when he walked past the bar.

Paul: "That's it. I had it up to here with you. Either you get out of my place or I kick you're ass out the front door myself?"

Gang Leader: "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!" hiccup… "I am the leader of the meanest gang in Gotham City. I AM INVINSIBLE!"

Just as he said the sentence, the former leader raised his drink and the liquid came out of the top, flying. Unfortunately LM was behind the drunk fellow and the Jack Daniel liquid was spilled all over his clothes. LM looked pissed off and looked at the drunk leader.

LM: "Hey, asshole! What the hell you think you're doing?"

The drunker turned his stool around and looked at LM.

Gang Leader: "What I'm doing? WHAT I'M DOING! I'm drunk man." hiccup… "I've been drinking booze since I got my ass whooped by some futuristic bitch."

LM: "Yeah, I noticed it. But do you know that you poured your booze ALL OVER MY CLOTHES! Do you know how much this shit cost?"

Gang Leader: "I don't care. Go ahead and get some new ones." hiccup… "I'm pretty sure that there's a Big and Tall is not far from here."

LM: "Mister, do you know who I am?"

Gang Leader: "Nope." hiccup… "Not a damn thing.'

LM: "I see, well let me just jog your memory."

LM quickly grabbed the former leader by the coat then tossed him off his stool and in the middle of the billiards area. Everyone looked at the lying body on the floor then looked at LM who threw him.

LM: "Next time you want to mess with someone, make sure that you don't mess with a Titan bitch!"

The Hoodz members looked up at LM when they heard the word Titan.

Hoodz member 4: "It's him. That's the honorary Titan. Take him out!"

Few of the members took out their switchblade knives while the rest use their pool sticks as weapons. LM looked at them and realized that he blew his own cover.

Hoodz member 1: "So, you must be the punk kid that joined the Titans. How interesting. I can tell that you're interested in fighting. Well you got one. Boys, teach him a lesson he'll never forget."

Soon the Hoodz members slowly approached the where LM was standing, waiting for the moment to strike. LM slowly backed away when he stopped at the bar counter top. He looked over his shoulder and noticed a dispenser that's labeled Bud Light on his right. He quickly looked back at the gang and smiled.

LM: "C'mon guys, let's not fight over this. Why don't we settle it with a glass of Bud Light?"

The members didn't listen as they went a little closer to LM.

LM: "No? Don't worry; it's on my tab."

LM quickly grabbed the dispenser from the counter top, set it to high power, and fired it at the Hoodz, spraying them with beer. Once the entire dispencer was empty, the Hoodz looked at each other and saw that they were drenched in beer. They then looked at LM who was laughing his ass off.

Hoodz member 1: "KILL HIM!"

Every member charged at LM with their weapons ready the same time as everyone else evacuated the building and Paul hurried into the employees' only room to be away from the fight. LM jumped up, did a handstand on the counter, and landed on the other side of the bar. One of the Hoodz members jumped over the counter and landed in front of LM with his switchblade knife ready. With quick reflexes, the member did a couple of swift moves with the switchblade, but LM dodged the first half and blocked the rest with his arms. After the last block, LM kicked him in the gut and sent him down for the moment. He quickly grabbed a vodka bottle off the wine shelf as the Hoodz member jump up and tried another attack. LM then hit the bottle over the guy's head seconds before the member had a chance to strike again. As he lay there unconscious, LM looked at the bottle and noticed it's an Absolute.

LM: "What an Absolute waste."

He then threw the bottle away the same time as two more members jumped on the table and attacked him with pool sticks. He quickly took out a flash bang from underneath his trench coat and pushed the button, letting it blink. He then threw it over the counter and the flash bang exploded with a bright light. All the members were blinded for the moment, which leaves LM the opportunity to strike back. He jumped up, grabbed the sprinkler pipe on the ceiling, swing, and double kicked the two members off the counter. He quickly let go of the pipe, went over the gang and landed in the pool table area. LM made a quick run to the pool rack and grabbed one of the pool sticks. Once the light faded, the gang looked around to find LM. They then heard a whistle and turned around to see LM with his pool stick ready for combat.

LM: "Anyone for a little game of pool?"

All the members looked at each other and didn't know who would go first.

Hoodz member 1: "You three take care of him. The rest of you head to the parking lot and get the "special toys" Johnny gave us. It's time we put this dog to sleep."

Some of the members left the area and headed to the back exit that takes them to the parking lot. The three members stayed there with their pool sticks ready to fight. LM spun his stick around and positioned it into a karate form. They stood there for like a few seconds until the Hoodz members charged in and attack LM. They swung their sticks around in many directions, but LM dodged and blocked each attack. He quickly jumped and rolled on top of one of the pool tables while one of the members attempt use his stick as a hammer and drive it to LM's cranium. Apparently he missed him by an inch as he rolled all the way to the other end and landed on the floor. When he looked up, another member appeared with his stick poised ready to strike down. LM quickly used his stick to block the enemy's stick that was about to hit him in the middle. He quickly did a Russian leg sweep to trip the enemy down and succeeded. He quickly got up and continued to attack the other two members. While they were fighting, Beast Boy was still in his mouse form waiting for LM's signal, if he knows what the signal is.

Beast Boy: "C'mon LM, give something. A sign, a word, a gesture, anything!"

Back to the action, LM was busy fighting off the two Hoodz members with his pool stick. The members retaliate with moves of their own as they swung their pool sticks in many directions that it caught LM off for the moment, hitting him in a few places. The third member got up and joined his friends in the battle. They quickly cornered LM with their sticks ready to finish the blow. LM smiled as he knows that this is his opportunity. He then hit his end of the stick on the floor, jumped, and ran on the walls, then on the chests of the three members. Once they were far away from LM, he landed, used his stick as a baseball bat, and hit them all in the heads. All three of them fell to the ground unconscious as LM twisted his stick around with a finishing pose.

LM: "If you excuse me boys, I need to look for the rest of your buddies. Now where they at?"

He looked around and saw an opened exit door on one end.

LM: "Bingo."

He then ran to the door when he saw the rest of the gang coming in from the exact same door. He also noticed all of them carrying P90 machine guns loaded with heavy-duty ammunition. LM panic and hurried back to the bar counter the same time the Hoodz fired at him, destroying everything in the process. LM flipped and cart wheeled to avoid getting shot when he made it to the counter, jumped over it, and hid while the gang destroyed the bar with bottles breaking and liquid pouring. He took cover behind the bar with his arms over his head to protect himself from the falling broken glass. The Hoodz members continued firing until one of them raised his hand up and the rest seized fire.

Hoodz member 1: "All right punk, last chance. Come out and put your hands over your head or else we'll rip the bar to pieces."

LM did what he was ordered as he stood up behind the bar and placed his hands over his head.

LM: "Let me guess, P90 rifles. Military issue from London, England. The ammunition is .270 Winchesters, use to penetrate solid steel or to be more précised, the most toughest body armor any soldier have. Use it properly it becomes the perfect weapon."

Hoodz member 1: "Quite right boy. You seem to know your weapons pretty well."

LM: "When you're once a rebel surviving in a city, you have to know a lot about your arsenal. But those weapons are illegal due to its firepower. Where did you get them?"

Hoodz member 1: "Our new boss had a few connections from the black market. And there are more of these weapons where they came from. Too bad you won't live to find out. And once we finish with you, we'll destroy your friends and end the Teen Titans legacy for good, we will be legends ourselves.

Now it's time for you to die."

LM couldn't help but smirk.

LM: "I'm afraid I have a piece of bad news for you."

Hoodz member 1: "And what's that?"

LM: "I have a very strict bodyguard."

All the members looked at each other then looked back at LM.

Hoodz member 1: "What are you talking about?"

LM: "Look behind you."

Everyone turned around and what they saw was a green gorilla carrying a pool table over his head. They all stared in pure shock when they didn't expect another Titan with him.

Hoodz member 1: "Son of a bitch…"

Beast Boy sends the table straight to the gang, but they all rolled away from the impact. They all quickly aimed their rifles at him but a few stray bullets shot off their rifles. They looked to where the shots were fired and saw LM with two P229 pistols in his hands.

LM: "Don't even think about it."

One of the members was caught off when Beast Boy grabbed him by the shoulders and tossed him to one end of the wall, sending him straight through the window and outside. The first member gave out the order.

Hoodz member 1: "You two take down the green freak show, I'll deal with the rebel."

The remaining two members nodded as they jumped up and attacked Beast Boy. The final Hoodz member looked at LM as LM jumped over the counter and looked at the member. They then charged into each other and attacked with a number of high and low punches and various kicks. LM tried a left hook and a right uppercut, but the member blocked them both and did a high kick. LM dodged the kick and did a quick leg sweep. The Hoodz member jumped up to avoid the sweep. LM quickly got up and met a punch straight to the face. Luckily, LM grabbed the fist and gripped it tight. The member tried a low punch to LM's abdominal but LM grabbed the other punch with his other fist. Tightening both fists, LM looked at the member with a sly look.

Hoodz member 1: "What are you waiting for boy? Take me down."

LM: "Not yet. I need you alive to for a little interrogating."

Hoodz member 1: "I'm not telling you anything!"

LM: "We'll see about that."

LM then head butted the member's face and let go of the hold. As they continue to fight each other, the other two members were trying to take out Beast Boy. But in gorilla form, he seems a little too strong. One of the Hoodz members then found a pool stick that was left behind by someone. He quickly grabbed the stick and hit Beast Boy at the side of his head. He collapsed on the floor and the two members quickly jumped on him and pinned him down. Beast Boy opened his eyes and noticed the two on him. Just like that, he quickly disappeared into nothingness, leaving the two members extremely confused.

Hoodz member 6: "Hey, where did he go?"

The two got up and looked around to find the green changeling. Just as they were searching, one of the members felt something on his leg. The member quickly jerked and shook his leg around.

Hoodz member 7: "What's wrong with you?"

Hoodz member 6: "Something's is crawling in my pants and I can't get it out."

Hoodz member 7: "Take off your damn pants man!"

He did what he was told as he took his pants off and threw them on the floor. They slowly approached the pair of pants. Suddenly, a green squirrel appeared from the bottom shin. It was obvious that the squirrel was Beast Boy.

Hoodz member 6: "That's him!"

Hoodz member 7: "Oh you little green bastard! I'm so going to get you for this!"

They both raced after Beast Boy as one of them used the stick as a club to try to pummel BB into a bloody mess. On the other side, LM and the Hoodz member were still duking it out. The member did a high kick and then a low kick but LM blocked both of them. LM then jumped and placed his foot on the side of one of the pool tables, jumped off it, and kicked the member on the side of his face. The Hoodz member just got startled for a moment then got real pissed as the attack with various punches. LM focused and blocked them all then retaliates by slapping and punching him in many places and kicked him right in the chin, sending him flying to the corner and crashing right through the table. He was moving around a little bit, trying to get up when he noticed the P90 rifle close to him in a hidden place and in a hand's reach. Slowly and surely, he squirms to get the machine gun, when he looked up and saw LM standing in front of him.

LM: "Last chance Hoody, either you surrender peacefully or this is going to get messy. Your choice."

Hoodz member 1: "I rather die then to answer to you or your brainless friends."

Soon as he finished his sentence, he took out the P90 rifle out of the rubble and started firing. LM was surprised as he focused to dodge every bullet with cartwheels and flips and took cover at the nearest turned over table. While he was taking cover LM took out two Mac 11s from underneath his trench coat.

LM: "Two can play it that game."

He then came out of his hiding place and fired back. Soon they were firing and covering in a good old fashion shooting. Back to Beast Boy, he was still in squirrel mode running around with the other two Hoodz members still chasing after him with their pool sticks as clubs. They were going around in different directions and when the two members tried to trap BB, they would collide into each other. Finally, Beast Boy then entered the employees' only room through the swinging door. It was then the two members stopped and got him trapped.

Hoodz member 6: "O.K. When I give the word, we go in and beat him senseless."

Hoodz member 7: "Got it. He won't know what hit him."

The two slowly approached the door and waited for the moment to open the door. They then kicked the door forcefully and had their sticks ready to kill. But their faces were in shock what they saw was not a green squirrel, but a green Velociraptor. It gave a loud roar as the two members screamed and rush out of the Billiards bar. They ran so fast that they didn't noticed that they hit something hard. They shook their heads and opened their eyes, but they were shocked when they saw the rest of the Teen Titans. They both of them were speechless and didn't know what to do. That was until one of them started to say something.

Hoodz member 6: "Uh… Wassup?"

Back inside the Billiards club, LM and the Hoodz member were still firing their weapons at each other, while taking cover behind turnover tables. LM knows that this won't work out at all and he needs a new plan, fast. He then saw a fire extinguisher hung on the wall behind the member and found his opening. He laid his Mac 11s down, took out one of his pistols, and waited for the right moment. The member was still shooting some rounds with his rifle when it ran on empty and he quickly reload, giving LM the opportunity. He fast timing, he jumped out of his hiding place and fired his pistol. The bullet flew past the hidden member and made a direct hit at the extinguisher. The Hoodz member came out of his hiding place and aimed his rifle at LM.

Hoodz member 1: "Ha! You missed me you jerk."

LM's remark was a small smirk and some faint laughter.

Hoodz member 1: "What the hell's so funny?"

LM: "Who said I was aiming for you?"

The Hoodz member cocked his head to the side, not knowing what it means until the turned around and saw the fire extinguisher with a bullet hole in it.

Hoodz member 1: "Shit!"

He quickly ran away but not enough as the extinguisher exploded and send the hoodlum flying to the middle. LM took cover at the nearest pool table as the explosion took place then came out when everything is clear. He walked down where he spotted the Hoodz member with his feet trapped in some debris, trying to get out. The member looked up and saw LM's vicious smile.

Hoodz member 1: "Damn you, you clever bastard!"

The member's P90 machine gun was still intact to his hand as he quickly aimed at LM's head. LM saw it coming so he aimed his pistol and shot the member in the hand, making a unique hole. The Hoodz member dropped his rifle and holds his wounded hand, screaming in pain. He then looked up and LM was still there aiming his pistol at the member.

Hoodz member 1: "Well, what are you waiting for? Kill me."

LM: "I would like to but I think it's best I keep you alive for questioning."

Beast Boy approached LM and saw the wounded member. He then looked at LM completely puzzled.

Beast Boy: "Do you really have to do that?"

LM: "Sorry BB, but I had no choice. The guy's out of control, I have to do something. Hey, what happened to the other two crooks?"

The changeling laughed nervously and had another sweat drop coming down his head.

Beast Boy: "Well I kind of scared them off."

LM: "You did WHAT! What were you thinking? We have to find them!"

Cyborg: "Don't get all round up LM, we took care of them."

Both LM and Beast Boy looked towards the entrance and saw the rest of their team, without Starfire and Terra, with the two Hoodz members all wrapped up in some steel lampposts thanks to Raven's powers.

Robin: "LM, didn't I tell you not stay outside and wait for us?"

LM: "It's not my fault. Some drunken jackass started this whole mess."

Gang Leader: "I'm not drunk." hiccup… "I'm just depressed."

Everyone looked around and saw the gang leader coming out from pool table area, not aware on what happened after LM threw him.

Gang Leader: "Why don't you keep your nose in someone else's business you costume wearing sons of bitches?"

The former leader staggered around with a half empty bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand when he saw Nightfire and freaked out.

Gang Leader: "It's you!" hiccup… "You're the one that foiled my plan a while back. You're going to pay for what you done."

He then smashed the bottle on one of the pool tables, making it a usable weapon to kill.

Gang Leader: "I'm going to stab you in the heart you bitch from the future." hiccup… "CHARGE!"

The gang leader ran drunkenly, not knowing where he's going until he hit himself on the support beam. He fell down on his back and was unconscious, leaving the Titans really confused. Raven then looked at Nightfire for an explanation.

Raven: "Friend of yours?"

Nightfire: "Let just say before I met you guys, I had a little misdirection. Is there a problem about that?"

Robin: "We'll talk about it later. Right now, let's find out where Johnny's hiding."

Robin approached LM and Beast Boy and looked at the member that has his feet stuck underneath some debris and a wounded hand. He then looked at LM with questioning eyes.

Robin: " Explanation LM."

LM: "The guy was going to kill me Robin, I had to defend myself."

Robin: "I see. Anything about their plan?"

LM: "Nothing much. All I know is that they were going to kill us due to what we did the ticked them off. I told you on the phone, remember?"

Robin: "Right, right. Anything else."

LM: "Just one."

LM then picked up the rifle that the Hoodz member dropped and placed it on Robin's hands.

Robin: "What's this."

LM: "A P90 machine gun, a military weapon modified by the English. Its ammo capacity is very dangerous; it can cut us in two. And the worst part is that Johnny has more weapons where that came, quite possibly in his hideout."

Robin examines that rifle one more time and his eyes showed anger underneath his mask. He then bends down to look at the crook.

Robin: "Tell me, where is Johnny Rancid hiding?"

Hoodz member 1: "If I tell you, you won't be able to make it out of there alive."

Robin: "If you don't tell me, you won't be able to live through this. Where is he?"

Hoodz member 1: "Piss off!"

The member then spit on Robin's uniform. Robin stood up and wiped the spit off his uniform.

Robin: "Looks like he isn't talking. Better take it to the edge."

He took a quick look at Nightfire and a villainous smile on his face.

Robin: "Nightfire, how many star bolts can a human body take?"

Nightfire: "Don't know, never thought about that before. Let's find out shall we?"

Nightfire slowly approached the crook with a ball of blue energy coming out of one of her hands. The member was starting to shake from the inside when he realized that this wasn't good. He got exploded and shot at and he doesn't want to know how star bolts feel. As Night was about to fire, the member started to confess.

Hoodz member 1: "All right, all right, I'll talk. Johnny has a base of operation set up in a warehouse in Pier 14, not far form here. Please don't hurt me!"

Beast Boy: "Pier 14? Isn't that where Slade tried to ambush us last time?"

Cyborg: "Looks like the place is becoming popular for criminals now."

Robin: "Yeah, looks that way. We have to get there and stopped Johnny at once."

LM: "And what about these delinquents?"

Robin looked and noticed a few members of the Hoodz lying unconscious and the way the place was a real mess.

Robin: "The authorities will handle this. Come on team."

Everyone quickly rushed out of the Billiards bar and in their vehicles to head to the docks.

Back at Titans Tower, Terra was still taking care of Starfire in the infirmary. Her communicator was beeping so she picked it up to see who's calling.

Terra: "Talk to me."

Robin: "Terra, we found the whereabouts of Johnny's location. I'm putting the coordinance on your communicator. Once Starfire's awake meet us there."

Terra: "Got it."

Terra hung up her communicator when Starfire started to stir and opened her eyes. She sat up and placed her hand on her head. Terra noticed it and approached her.

Terra: "Welcome back Star. How are you feeling?"

Starfire: "Like a Bizqwark on a bad day. What happened?"

Terra: "You passed out after hearing the news."

Starfire: "What news?"

Then it finally snapped her. Starfire remembered Nightfire saying that she is her daughter, and what Robin about her being the mother and Robin being the father. She shook her head knowing that she had to except the truth.

Starfire: "I can't believe that Nightfire, my new friend, is actually my daughter."

Terra: "Yeah, I know. But don't worry; we forgive her from the secret she kept from us. Now she and the others are going to Johnny's hideout. We'll join them as soon as you get some rest."

Starfire's eyes opened and realized that if they found Johnny then they'll be all in danger, especially Robin. She then jumped off her bed and stood up.

Starfire: "I'm ready to go."

Starfire quickly left the infirmary and walked down the hallway with Terra following after her.

Terra: "Starfire, what are you doing?"

Starfire: "I'm going to find my friends. They're going to be in great danger if I stay here."

Terra: "But Star, you're still too weak after you've passed out; you still need to rest a little more. We'll meet up with them soon, I promised."

Starfire: "Terra, Nightfire's my future daughter and Robin's my future husband. If they die, then I won't have a family to love. I have to save them before its too late."

Terra understood that since she knows that deep inside her mind, Beast Boy could be in danger too.

Terra: "You're right. But you don't know where they are. Robin gave me the coordinance to their location."

Starfire: "Then tell me Terra, where are they going."

That's the end of chapter 10, finally. Sure it's a bit long, but it's all worth it after half a week. I won't be able to update for about a week. I'm going to Miami this week to see my grandmother. But I'll be back to give you guys the fight you've been waiting for. But while I'm gone, Please Review.
