Check it out. Next chapter.

The combined teams assembled on the path out front, waiting- however not wanting- to leave.

"We'll split up, take different parts of the city. Use these radars to pick up any signal and then investigate what you can find," Robin was handing out black guns and holsters and stating his orders, no emotion in his voice. "It'll be a simple task. Starfire, you take Cyborg into the east sector of the city. Cover the area thoroughly."

"Thorough as possible, friend Robin. We'll do our best, and not fail." Starfire sang. Cyborg nodded and allowed Starfire to carry him off to the city.

"Aqualad, take the bay and branch out southward. You'll move quicker solo." Aqualad looked disgruntled in the direction of the water. He muttered something about hot water and took off with a graceful dive to follow Robin's orders. Beast Boy let his ears drop.

"Beast Boy, instead of helping with the bay search, I want you to take Raven and cover the North sector. That leaves Bee and me to cover west."

Beast Boy looked as if he was about to protest, but Raven stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. "You know it wouldn't go well if you followed Aqualad. Everything between you two is a pissing contest and don't even try to deny that." She said in her usual monotone voice. Beast Boy's shoulders drooped and Raven retracted her hand.

"We should head out." She added, the radar in hand.

Cyborg and Starfire set down on an empty shopping street. Every shop was closed up, the people driven away by the heat.

"This must not be good for business," Cyborg stated. Starfire nodded.

"It would appear there is no business under such conditions as we are experiencing. On Tamaran, we are to far from the sun to suffer such harsh conditions." The alien girl stated.

"I'll get the T-Sub ready to fly if we can't figure out this problem," Cy offered. He rolled the radar around checking his arm to keep an eye on their location. "Bo-yah." He whispered when a signal locked. "Let's check this out, Star."

"I wonder if this thing has games," Beast Boy mumbled, turning the PDA around in his hands.

"Don't even think about it." Raven snarled as she levitated out of a storm drain. "I'm picking up a faint signal, but it almost seems to be coming from underneath us. I have a feeling we'll need to di- Beast Boy, are you listening?" She pocketed the radar on her belt with its holster, and then tugged at her belt. The radar was pulling obnoxiously at the loose garment.

"Sorry Rae," Beast Boy looked at her startled, "I was checking for the signal." He kept a serious face pulled over. "I'm pretty sure we'll have to dig." Beast Boy seemed pleased with himself, taking such good control of the mission as he was.

Raven rolled her eyes. "I'm about to pretend I did not just say that." She moaned, and pulled again at the radar lagging on her belt.

"If that's not comfy, I can carry it for you..." Beast Boy offered, trailing off on his last word. Raven was smiling at him. "Or not... whatever suits yo-" but Raven cut him off.

"I see chivalry is not dead." She said, with slight air to her voice, and proceeded to try and unclasp the black holster.

Beast Boy rushed to her side to help her, but pulled back when his gloved knuckle brushed her hip. He blushed slightly, mumbled an apology and reached out to help again, only to find she had managed to unclasp the buttons herself. She moved into Beast Boy, and before he could react, fastened it to his belt.

"We'd better check that lead." Raven stated- more business like than she had ever done before. Beast Boy nodded, and followed her into the storm drain.

"Robin, this PDA isn't picking up anything!" Bumblebee bellowed as Robin swept the radar from side to side.

"Keep watching. Something will show."

"Boy, you have got to be kidding. Do you not feel this heat? I think we're gonna have roast Bee for dinner, if you're not careful."

"Stop complaining and pay attention."

"I'm paying attention all right. And I'm sticking to my b- Oh, that's a blip."

"What?"

"A signal, man. Go back; what were you just pointing at?"

"A store."

"Then that's our first check spot." Bee looked pleased with herself. "The heat may bother me, but it will not stop me."

"Nice work, Bumblebee." Robin said in defeat.

"Mmm-hmm... that's what I thought."

Aqualad swam in silence; he was trying to contact any of the fish that littered the bay. Every animal in the water seemed to be bothered by something, and Aqualad was sure he knew what it was. Finally, he crossed paths with a disgruntled dolphin.

"Do you know what is driving all the fish crazy?" He asked, connecting through mind power. All he could gather was a direction, leading to a cave. "My first lead." He thought.

And then I'm done. Till chapter four. Please R+R. I'm afraid I'll loose interest if I find nobody wishes to read this.
