Okay, a big 'Thank You' to OveractiveMind for being the only, or first, person to review. Here it is... chapter 2.
Extreamly short, I know.
Beast Boy paraded into the workout room in the physique of a green desert beetle. He was closely followed by the exhausted Bumblebee and Aqualad, both taking necessary precautions to avoid stepping on him. Robin was the first to look up at the guests.
"Bee, Aqualad... What up?" He said, trying to sound as ecstatic as he could in the heat. His voice stirred the awareness' of the other Titans. Cyborg sat up immediately and did his best to act cool.
"Bee, girl, what's shaken'?" He let out a sigh and gulped deep. He was perspiring more than the heat had caused him to. Bee could only smile and look away.
"There's trouble, guys. This heat just isn't natural." She said.
"No kidding," Robin added, "This is probably the first time the heat as ever spiked this far into the triple digits. You can't even get naturally cold water any more," Aqualad shivered at his comment, "Freezers are flying off the shelves. Prices have risen with demand. I only hope no riots break out, because we will need to stop them."
"It is even more than that, Robin." Aqualad finally spoke. "The origin of the heat is what isn't natural."
The team looked at Robin with defeat. Moments later they were all set up in front of the TV screen, surrounded by every electric fan they could find in the T shaped tower. Bee had taken the front, briefing her Jump City crime fighting associates.
"I started to investigate the heat yesterday," She informed them, "It all seemed too sudden. That's when I picked up a strange signal to an unregistered satellite. I figured it was worth looking into, because as far as I could tell, that satellite had no permission to be launched. I found a way past the security, and then I traced the satellite's signal back to Jump City. That's when I found the problems."
"Problems?" Beast Boy whined. "As in plural problem? Multiple?" He seemed to have a problem getting his head around the idea.
"Afraid so, Hun."
"What other leads did you get?" Robin asked, stepping forward and beginning to type ferociously on his key pad.
"The best I could get was the city. It would appear it broke into three separate signals," She said, and then added sheepishly, "It was getting really hot, and the monitor puts out a lot of heat... I couldn't really handle it." Robin showed no emotion through his mask, which caused her to drop her head a little lower.
"That's not a problem, Bee." Cyborg said, moving next to her. He glared at Robin, "I'm sure we all understand." He rested a bionic arm on her shoulder.
"Thanks, Cyborg."
"I guess we should split up then and patrol the entire city, then." Robin said in defeat.
"I really am s-"
Robin put his hands up to silence her. "Don't worry about it. Cyborg is right. We can brave this heat, right guys?" The team looked sullenly at him, but nodded. "Good. In that case, Titans, GO!"
I'll get to work on chapter 3 as soon as, well, soon. Sorry if there were any disastrous mistakes in the chapter. I know in the last one some works kept getting squished together. I'm not sure what happened there. Must have been when I was editing. Anyway... "Just you wait 'enry 'iggens."
