Chapter Two: Mad Mod
"Make it stop!" one prisoner yelled.
"Shut up!" another growled.
"Get me out of here!" Another begged.
The newest addition to the Jump City jail was Mad Mod, and he was singing the British National Anthem again. Everyday he would sing it in his terrible singing voice.
"God save our gracious Queeeeeen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queeeeeen!
"SHUT UP!" A prisoner yelled again.
"O lord God arrrissssse,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!"
"I'm warning you fool!" Another jeered.
"Confound their knavish tricks,
Confuse their pollllitics,
On you our hopes we fix,
God save the-"
Mad Mod stopped singing when the guard in charge of his row who was walking up and down the row stopped in front of his cell. His dog he was walking with looked up at Mad Mod and growled. It looked as if foam came out of her mouth.
Mod grinned. "Well hello governor. All right?"
The guard was disgusted and would not take this foolishness. "Why yes old chap. Now shut yer pie hole!"
"Wat? I'm trying to put some British patriotism in this bloody place!" Mad Mod said as he put his hands up in defense. He gave an innocent look.
"Well, we don't need it here! I hate singing, singing hates me and if you wanna sing, do it when your time's over!"
Before Mad Mod could answer his reply, alarms started to ring and the guard looked around alarmed. "I have to go," he said and he pointed one finger at Mad Mod, "but my dog here is going to watch you, and make sure you stay and shut up."
He leaned down and tied the dog's leash to the bar of Mod's cell. After that, he looked back up at Mod as if he was saying, "Touch her, and die."
The guard ran down the isle and the other jailers watched him run off. Mad Mod smiled and looked at the dog who was still growling.
"That there's a nice doggy. What's yer name pup?"
The dog continued to growl, but something in Mod's cell caught her eye and she started to nuzzle against his hand which was now extended out to the dog.
He patted the dog on the head. "Well I have at least one friend ere. Animals are much nicer than those blasted yanks. Hey...say you'll work with me?"
The other prisoners glared at him but said nothing. It was no use telling Mad Mod to shut up again, and hearing him bond with animals was worse than their time in jail. But after a while they paid no more attention to the Mad Mod and went back to doing their own thing.
The dog looked up hungrily, and started to drool. Mad Mod knew what she wanted which caught her eye earlier.
He went to the back of his cell by his bed and picked up some of his rations to feed the dog. The dog willingly took the food from him, and she devoured it. Then, as a way of saying "thanks" she started to chew on the cell bar.
A grin appeared on Mad Mod's face. That dog wasn't trained very well if she was easily bribed with food. "That's it girl, keep chewing. And when yer done, we can have more of yer animal friends to help us...let's take over this yank infested country, shall we?"
Robin was on the other side of the training room, but he wasn't moving furniture like Beast Boy and Raven. He was actually training while Raven who had recently left the other side was telling him to quit training so she could move the furniture for the moment.
Robin had just acknowledged her existence in the room after she asked him for the 8th time, and a black aura surrounded him and dropped him off away from the weights.
"What are you doing Raven? The crime rate has raised 7 this month and you're trying to move the furniture! I really need to tra-"
"You're the one who ordered us to move the furniture in the first place, Boy Blunder. I'm only following orders." She smirked.
"Oh...yeah...where's Beast Boy?"
"Trying to make a living out of his lame jokes."
"Ok...where's Starfire?"
"Robin!" Starfire cried as if on cue as she entered the room. She clasped her hands and smiled at him. Whenever she was near him his mood lifted and so did the mood in the room. He was actually waiting for Starfire to come for him, because it made him feel so good to know that someone was looking for him, especially if it was her.
He looked at her emerald eyes and looked away before he said something stupid, and if he did Raven would be there to ridicule him about it later. Not like he never said anything stupid though...
He wondered why he couldn't say something simple like, "Hey Star, wanna go with me to the arcade?" or "Want to go take a walk in the park, just you and me?" One day he would though, and he was sure of it.
Starfire flew up to Robin and Raven. "Robin," she cried again to get his attention, since it seemed he wasn't paying attention, "and, Raven! I have found you at last! Beast Boy and I are celebrating the 1 year anniversary of our pet, Silkie today and we are both wanting you to help us decorate. When Cyborg is done fixing his "Gamestation", he shall help us decorate too." Raven looked at Robin who had his eyes locked on Starfire. Is he even listening to what she's saying? She looked back at Starfire who was still talking. "I have the ribbons of many colors, the balloons, and the supplies for parties."
Robin and Raven exchanged glances and Raven smirked once again. She knew what his answer would be, and so did he.
"Um...sure Star. What do you want me to do?"
"Robin, I have to ask why you're so eager to help decorate all over the tower, but you don't feel the same way when it comes to something as simple as moving furniture?" Raven questioned him with her arms folded. A huge sweat drop appeared on the Boy Wonder's face.
"Because now I'm in a good mood, Raven. Besides, it's for Silkie, our wonderful pet," he said as he gritted his teeth at Raven. He wished she would cut it out.
"I am grateful for you help in this Robin. Will you help Raven?"
"All right Starfire. As long as I don't have to do anything humiliating and we get use the Beast Boy pinata."
"You will not be humiliated and we shall have the Beast Boy pinata to smack and do other unsightly things to it! I am sure Beast Boy is hanging up the banners, so Robin, you will help do the balloon blowing, and Raven, I wish for you to help me with making Silkie's favorite food, Zorka Berries!"
Raven shrugged and Robin smiled. He was glad to help Starfire celebrate this special day, and he wouldn't let anyone ruin it. He hoped that Cyborg would get over his Gamestation soon so he could help as well. Starfire led the way out of the training room, and Robin and Raven both agreed that they would finish their job of moving the furniture later.
Starfire flew to Silike's basket in her room, where he slept and found something shocking. He wasn't there.
She looked under his covers and under her bed, and all throughout her closet.
'He must have gotten up to get a morning snack, that is all,' she thought. She knew she would be more upset if he was gone than if he saw all of the decorations and found out about the surprise party early. She ran instead of flying to the common room to see only the four other Titans standing there. "Friends, have you seen our beloved pet Silkie? He is not in his basket," she ran through the kitchen, "and it seems that he is not having his morning snack either."
"We haven't seen him Star," Cyborg told her while loosening a headlock that he had on Beast Boy.
"Last I saw him he was in his basket, Starfire," Beast Boy said while he could still breathe, "Are you sure he's not-"
"I am sure!" Starfire cried. "He is gone!"
"Have you checked the whole tower Star? We'll check every room. Right guys?" Robin said while looking at the others daring them to say no.
"Right," they chorused.
The five Titans looked in all of there rooms and even in the basement, but Silkie was nowhere to be found. Beast Boy suggested that he went out for fresh air, and they even checked the rocky surface outside of their tower. They met back into the common room and concluded that Starfire was right. Silkie was gone.
"Who would want to steal a Silkworm anyway?" Beast Boy asked, and Raven and Cyborg gave him a look that said that was the wrong thing to say.
"We can't be sure that Silkie was stolen. He could have wandered out of the tower far away."
"But Silkie would never leave us!" Starfire cried, who was now sitting on the couch with a pillow in her arms. She tried to blink back tears, but someone saw and Robin walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. "We'll find him Star, I promise. No one's going to ruin Silkie's party."
"But someone already did!" Beast Boy zoomed into the hall outside the common room and came back in a matter of seconds. He was a spitting image of Sherlock Holmes, but only greener. He put up his index finger. "This looks like a job for DETECTIVE BEAST BOY!"
"Aw, man. Couldn't you have come up with something more...creative?" Cyborg asked him while shaking his head.
"Nah, I couldn't think of another word for detective." He stuck his fake pipe in his mouth, but it soon popped out as a thesaurus covered in a black aura hit him in the back of his head. Starfire wiped her eyes and giggled at the scene while Robin turned and smiled at her, but he soon clenched his fists. Whoever ruined this for Starfire was going to pay.
AN: Like I said, Robin was in this chapter, and you got your first dose of R/S in this one. I think every villain's plan is going to take two chapters. Please review, and thanks to the ones who do! (Hey I rhymed!) Speaking of rhyming, please read my short one-shot called "Sigh". It was a random idea, but it took me a long time to get it to rhyme.
