Chapter 3
Help
" I've got to buy them time ! " Beast Boy hurriedly thought to himself as he heard a fragment of his name being screamed by Starfire . In his ravage Werewolf form, he slashed countless rows of policemen as he was amazingly careful to not kill, but merely maim them .
" Forget the freak ! Shoot that vehicle before it dives ! " The commander demanded with wild eyes as 40 men raised their arms to the sea .
" No you don't ! " BB screamed mentally as he swiped 20 of the guns in half with his deadly claws, then morphed into a jade octopus as he wrapped his tentacles around 8 gunmen and tossed them into the remaining 12 .
" Take it down with the tanks ! " The infuriated Commanded ordered with a look of desperate dread as Lex just stood there, holding his chin and watching with careful calculation .
" Oh no fair . " the Changeling frowned as he heard the rumbling and screeching of the massive machines taking aim .
Morphing into a hulking gorilla, Beast Boy leaped onto an approaching tank as he used all of his beastly might on the vehicle's main barrel . Hearing the creak and cry of turning metal, BB changed the direction of the gun as he transformed into a humming bird and flew away to the safety of the sky .
Looking down below to witness his work, the tank fired it's massive cannon …right into another tank . Explosions of flying metal caused a chaos of swarming men as BB noticed that the flaming vehicle still contained some people inside as he raced toward the hazard in werewolf form again .
Ripping away at the side of the destroyed tank with a burst of inhuman strength, he pulled two unconscious men out and covered them as the machine exploded in relentlessness .
The blast threw the little hero into the center of the island as he steadily rose to his feet … only to have a circle of armed men take aim . The sound of reloading rung in Beast Boy's ears as he knew this was it . He shut his eyes and await for the inevitable .
" Just a moment, gentlemen . This isn't necessary . " Luthor calmly stated as he walked into the circle of fire . " Now how about you turn back to normal and come along quietly . You know you can't win . " Lex friendly offered the werewolf formed Beast Boy, sternly refusing to revert back.
This act of deviance made Lex explode with anger as his eyes leered the teen in disgust . Clenching his fists in controlled fury, Luthor snatched BB's neck as he lifted the Titan with a hydraulic grip .
" I said change BACK ! " Lex demanded, slammingthe teen head first into the ground, knocking him unconscious and, ironically, changing him back to normal . " Now was that so hard ? "he commented with a sly smile as he raised his hand for the police to come . " Take him to Cadmus . We have some…tests to run . "
Somewhere in the Ocean
" No ! How could I just let him do that ! " Robin slammed the side of his cockpit as Raven sat beside him, healing his deadly wound . However , powers and bandages can only heal so much ...
" Anger won't solve anything, Robin . It was his choice… his sacrifice . There was nothing you could do . " Rae sympathized with her leader, silently wishingthat he would stay still for more than 30 seconds .
" No . I failed . I failed Beast Boy as a leader…and as a friend . I'm the one who comes up with the plans ! I'm the one you guys depend on ! I should've …"
" You should have what ? Stayed there yourself ? We would be in an even worse position than we are now ! " Raven screamed in truth . But truth is hardly comforting .
Knowing what she said was fact, Robin shot his gaze away from her as he wished for nothing more than to be left alone . Feeling her caring, yet needed, touch against his shoulder, the Boy Wonder tried to decipher their next move .
Tense silence filled the cockpit as Raven, despite her lack of sociability, desperately tried to think of a change of subject as she healed her stubborn friend .
" So, how did you make this nice little scar bleed again ? I felt you doing…"
" Push ups . "
" You're joking . "
" I can never give my enemies a chance to get me when I am vulnerable . It's one of the first things my previous mentor taught me . " Robin reminisced, leaving Raven to debate his sanity .
" Your previous mentor ? You mean .."
" Hey, sorry to interrupt your touching moment, but where exactly are we going ? " Cy questioned over the intercom as he had no idea where they were going .
" Gotham Docks . " Robin answered immediately . Just the simple mention of the city withheld so many memories .
" Dear Robin, why Gotham ? The city of corruption and evils ? " Star questioned over the com link as she sounded nothing like her usual, chipper self . To her, and everyone else's, surprise, she took Beast Boy's leaving the hardest .
" For back up . This situation flies way over our heads . " the Boy Wonder regretfully admitted as he knew even they couldn't fight the entire government . Flipping open the communicator that Cyborg had retrieved for him, he activated it and took a deep breath . A familiar lecture was coming his way ...
" And we are going to call who ? "
" Not 'who', but whom . "
" This is the Watch Tower . How may we be a service to you ? " an oddly happy voice answered the teen's call as he knew what he must do .
" This is Robin of the Jump City Teen Titans . Patch me through to Batman . "
Cadmus Headquarters
" I have brought you a …lively, specimen for you to experiment on, Ms . Waller . " Lex stated in his higher-than-thou manner .
" Yes, yes Luthor . You already have the governments full support . Despite your past problems . "
" Oh, but I am not done yet . I have also recruited a new member . Allow me to introduce you to one of the best mercenaries in the business ; Deathstroke . " Luthor added as a familiar man of red and black armor stepped into the light .
" Oh please, that name is too appalling . I'd prefer it if you simply called me Slade . "
And the plot thickens . I have no idea where I am taking this story, so your ideas are welcome .But I'm not promising anything .Oh, and don't forget to REVIEW !
