I think these next few chapters will have one focusing on each search team, until they all meet up again. Changing the order, of course, and the BB and Raven team come foist. Yay... OH, and a forewarning of language, T is for Tongue. Gizmo's tongue.
"Raven, this is creepy." Beast Boy cried as they moved down the dark sewerage tunnel. Neither one of them had thought to bring a flashlight, relying on the hot sun that beat down on the helpless city.
"I'm just glad to be out of the heat." Raven said, monotone as usual.
"You're right," Beast Boy said, as if just noticing, "It is kinda chilled down here." He spread his arms out on either side and pivoted his torso. Suddenly, the walls around them let out an agonized groan. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!" Beast Boy screamed before scuttling under Raven's cloak and grasping her tightly around the waist.
"Beast Boy!" Raven yelled, in time with the spout of water that erupted, provoked by a dark force. "Gerroff..." She growled, prying him loose.
"Sorry, spooked me," he tried to explain. "Can you see anything?"
"No," she stated shortly, "Nothing except for you." Beast Boy morphed into a galago, as if on command, and leapt onto Raven's shoulder. When Raven looked at him to find giant green bush baby eyes peering back on a tiny head, she could not stifle her snort of laughter. Another flume of water erupted behind them. Beast Boy tilted his head and pointed ahead. Raven understood. She was meant to walk.
After at least twenty minuets of shuffling through murky water in the dark, Raven's radar sweeping paid off. The bush baby on her shoulder let out a squeal of delight. They could both see the soft illumination coming from around the corner. One more turn, and they saw in front of them... Gizmo.
(a/n: again, I've decided to put in what I think Gizmo is really saying, because, well... I can't figure out what else to put.)
"What da fuck are you pit sniffas doing down here?" The technologically advanced little boy squealed when Beast Boy and Raven came into view of his lantern light. He was crouched over a box, the source of the signal.
"I may ask the same thing about you." Beast Boy stated after morphing back into himself.
"You just did, you fucktard." Gizmo snapped back.
Raven snorted. "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" She asked.
"Yeah, what of it, bitch?"
Beast Boy bolted forward. "Kiss this!" he yelled, making mouth to fist contact with a right hook. Gizmo couldn't have seen it coming. Falling back into the discolored water, he scurried back from Beast Boy. Beast Boy halted to massage is knuckles. "That hurt," He mumbled.
Gizmo continued to run, splashing, down the tunnel into darkness. Raven picked up the lantern with her powers and moved to the device he was working on. "This is putting out a low frequency, but its trying to connect to the Russian's satellite. We should probably tell them, so they can stop whatever the Hive is plotting to do with the technology. Other than that, this seems to be irreleva-" But she stopped. It wasn't until that point that she noticed the tiny flashing H on the wall. With one sweeping motion, Raven turned on Beast Boy, who was still looking into the dark after the escaped mini-villain. He let out a scream of shock as his team-mate barreled him into the wall, although they did not hit the wall. He was engulfed in darkness until he was dropped once more onto the over heated surface. At the same moment, the shadow of a raven that had carried him released Raven and dispersed. The half demon rushed to Beast Boy's side.
"Raven, what was that all about?" He cried, trying to knead the pain out of his ankle as he sat in the middle of the road.
"Beast Boy!" she yelped, pulling at his arm, "Move. We need to get farther."
"Farther from what?" he asked as he moved with her, using her as a crutch. Raven didn't have time to explain. She tried her best to clear the area, but as the blast from below surfaced, she and her green teammate were thrown into the air. They landed in a crumpled heap against the wall of a nearby alley before they realized what had happened. Beast Boy squirmed to his feet, noticing that Raven had managed to put herself between him and the hard wall.
"Raven! Are you ok?" he squealed, dropping to her side as fast as he could without putting too much pressure on his injured ankle. Raven looked at him a little dazed, and confused. She could tell that her back would hold many more bruises the next day.
"I- I think- I think I hit my head," she stuttered, unable to find her words. Beast Boy looked to the back of her head, and noticed, for the first time, the blood that had been lightly smeared on the brick wall behind her. He touched his fingers gingerly, weary of what he might find, to the back of her head. Rave gasped in pain, and Beast Boy drew his hand back. He didn't know what to do.
"Can you move?" he asked, lightly feeling her neck and shoulder, "Can you feel your hands? Can you move them?" He was franticly searching for any sign of pain or break in her bones. Running his hands quickly down her back and arms, he realized how easy her bones were to feel under her skin. The girl did not have very much muscle definition, probably due to the fact that she used her brain to do anything that really needed to be done. But then another thought struck him. How was she not freakishly over weight? It wasn't like she often ran to get where she was going. She was always teleporting through walls and levitating her way around. 'It must be the content drinking of herbal tea,' Beast boy thought inwardly, as he continued his search of her appendages. 'I bet its hard to put on weight when you hardly eat any solid food' He finished lightly rolling her foot around, testing the mobility of her ankle, and thought to check her torso for any cuts or signs of internal damage. He stopped himself, and thought better of it. "Raven, can you heal yourself?" he asked, no sign of humor in his voice. Raven nodded weakly, and tried to move into a more comfortable position. Beast Boy did his best to help her move without over stepping his boundaries of touching her. He had always felt the need to distance himself from his teammate, almost as if acting on his desire to be close to her. 'I'd better respect the fact that she doesn't like too much contact...' he told himself inwardly. '...Trying my best just to not think about those things...' but her moan of apparent agony startled him from his thought and threw his caution to the wind. Pulling his leg behind him, he dragged himself next to her, as close as he could be but still giving her space to hover. He picked up her hand, and held it in his own, while squeezing her shoulder with the other. A look of peace seemed to come over her face and she continued to heal her own wounds. Beast Boy looked down as his gloved hand, wrapped loosely around her small pale fingers. He could feel her warmth seeping through his gloves and felt the same peace shiver through his body. He was content for the moment, waiting for his teammate to be back on her feet.
And this is when you guys come in. Do you really want me to put in the details of the other teams, or should I just break the others up in one chapter and bring the entire Titans group back together to share the evidence they found?
