Chapter Five: The Geek and the Freak
The trail went on for a while, leaving the Titans, mainly Starfire and Beast Boy, confused and helpless. Starfire was beginning to think they would never find Silkie, and Control Freak was just messy after all, and Beast Boy was just getting tired of walking to nowhere.
The trail stopped near an old warehouse, where the Titans recognized as a place they fought crime before. It was dark and hard to see the others. Starfire walked behind Robin and followed what she could see of him. Everyone else followed behind.
Soon, a light flashed on causing Starfire to grip onto Robin's arm, which caused Robin almost attacking Starfire because he thought she was someone else, and caused Beast Boy to run into Cyborg, who ran into Raven.
Another light flashed on, and then other. In front of the Titans appeared an old car seat sitting on a stack of boxes. On the chair sat Control Freak, and on the arm of the chair sat Starfire's own Silkie in a cage.
"Welcome Titans, I see you have found my secret lair," Control freak said grinning.
"Give us back Silkie!" cried Beast Boy.
Control Freak chuckled, causing his whole body to jiggle. Then he said a most common thing criminals say when told to give something up.
"If you want him, come and take him."
The geek rose up in the air, kung fu style and began to attack. Starfire was the first to attack back, throwing star bolts and eye beams at him. Control Freak barely avoided the beams by dancing ballet style.
Beast Boy charged as a rhino and rammed Control Freak in the stomach. This caused him to fly back into the boxes and his seat came crashing down along with Silkie's cage.
Cyborg and Robin charged as well when Control Freak got back up to fight. Cyborg's cannon hit Control Freak in the belly and bounced back flinging Cyborg into Robin who was behind them.
Control Freak laughed without noticing Raven who was nearing the cage that held the whimpering Silkworm. Before he could shout at her a dark shadow that flew from the ceiling came and grabbed the cage. The shadow disappeared and all the Titans and Control Freak could hear were the laughing of the thief and the crying of Silike.
Robin stood up immediately. "Where'd he go!" he shouted.
"I don't know," Raven told him. "I don't even know who that was."
Control Freak dropped on the ground with his hands and knees and cried out. "NOOOO! IT WAS TOO SOON!"
Cyborg shot him with his cannon and grinned. "Aw, shut up."
He, Beast Boy and Raven got Control Freak and got ready to take him to jail.
"You do that," Robin said. "And while you're at it, just go back home too. It's late, and I don't want my team being tired."
"What about you?" Cyborg asked him. He glanced over to the redhead who now was standing behind Robin. "And what about Star?"
Starfire wasn't talking lately and had a mournful look on her face. Robin didn't even notice Starfire behind him.
"Starfire and I will keep on looking for whoever took Silkie and I'm not that tired." He turned to Starfire who had a surprised look on her face. While the others were walking away he spoke to her again. "He's your pet, so you get to help find him. It's only fair."
Starfire gave a big smile and hugged him. "Oh, Robin! Thank you! I am grateful that you are willing to let me help look for our pet."
Then to Robin's surprise she gripped his hand and kept on holding it. "So, where shall we look first?"
"Let's try downtown again...you know, that's where most criminals go..."
She still held his hand as they walked off and a red faced Robin thought, 'Yeah, it's great being on a mission...alone...with Starfire...'
The three other Titans surrounded Control Freak as they led him to jail. No one was speaking, until Control Freak opened his mouth.
"Hey uh...I think I know where your pet is."
"Oh, really?" Raven said, un-amused.
"Yeah!" He said while giving quick glances to Cyborg and Beast Boy as well. "I also know who took him. You see, I promised him I'd give that mutant back, but he came too soon..."
"Who?" Beast Boy demanded.
"Uh...I don't know his name."
The four of them stopped walking. "Talk," Cyborg said while facing the criminal. "What did he look like?"
"Well, it was kind of dark so I couldn't..."
Raven glared at Control Freak causing him to whimper.
"I meant...that it was kind of dark, but I was still able to tell that he looked like a giant bug."
There were two possibilities that the three Titans were thinking about. One was Fang, and the other Killer Moth. They needed more information.
"What kind of bug?" Raven asked while frowning.
"I giant fly or something..."
"Not a fly," Cyborg said. "Killer Moth. We should have known." He gritted his teeth.
"So...since I told you who took Silkie...do I still have to go to jail?"
The three Titans glared and the criminal bowed his head, knowing that it was a stupid question.
After Control Freak was dropped off at jail, Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy stopped to talk.
"We need to tell Starfire and Robin who they should be looking for," Raven said. "It'd be a lot easier for them."
Beast Boy looked flabbergasted. "What! Robin said we could go home. He's smart. He'll figure it out!"
Cyborg groaned. "That's true. But Beast Boy, we have to help them. In case you've forgotten, we're a team."
Raven gave a slow nod. "And I know you want to find Silkie almost as much as Starfire. He's your pet too."
"Oh all right," Beast Boy said and yawned.
Raven noticed this and got an idea. "Better yet, let's just call them through our communicators. Then we can get some rest."
Cyborg nodded, did so and Robin's reply was what he expected. Cyborg was bombarded with questions. "Do you know where Killer Moth is?"
"No, Robin."
"Well, why didn't you ask Control Freak?"
"None of us know where he is, remember? He just flew in and out at the warehouse."
"That's true...Starfire and I are downtown. Go ahead and head back to the tower. I'm sure we'll find him."
Cyborg nodded, but his nod was more like nodding off. This was when Raven decided it was time to transport her and the two boys back home.
