Ch.5: Old Friends Return
Raven awoke with no green warmth beside her. She looked all over the house and found the note sitting on the counter. She felt like crying; she may never see Logan again, but instead she picked up the phone hanging on the wall and dialed a number she hasn't used in 4 long years. The phone rang twice and was answered by the sound of a soft and sweet voice of a young girl.
"Hello…this is the Stone residents, Sarah Stone speaking."
Raven smiled and laughed, the 28 year old Sarah sounded like a young teenager.
"Hey Sarah its Raven, is Victor home?"
Sarah literally yelled into the receiver and giggled after words.
"Raven! Oh my god it's so nice to speak to you again, yes Cye's home let me go get him." laughed the young girl.
Raven herd the phone hit a counter and the sound of heeled footsteps clicking on tiled floor. Then there was the sound of hard and heavy boots walking on tiled floor. A deep yet soft voice spoke into the receiver.
"Hello Victor Stone speaking." said the voice.
"Cyborg it's, Raven, he's back and he's coming to your house, I think it is time you bring out your gifts you made for him." Raven said softly.
Raven herd the phone drop out of the man's hand. She herd fumbling and then the voice came back on.
"Should I go with him if he is going to do it?"
"No…I think it would be safer if we all meet up some where after he leaves your house I am going to call Kori and Richard soon. But we are going to stop Price no matter what."
"So I guess it is safe to say it then."
"Yes you can say it." giggled Raven.
"Booyah! The Titans are coming back to Jump City baby!"
Raven laughed and kissed the receiver, she herd Cyborg hang up the phone and she did as well. Raven felt weak in the knees, she fell into a large chair and started to listen to music as she did.
"He's right…the Titans are back."
With that Raven continued to listen to her CD player and put Linkin Park's Meteoa.
Burn Town
Logan watched the large building of Mechanic's Tech. grow larger and larger as he got closer and closer. Logan suddenly gasped as he quickly stopped.
"I don't even know were he lives!" he yelled into the sky as he came up with a better idea.
Logan started to ride toward the corporation building, he parked the motorcycle in a parking spot and pulled the overcoat over his face, and then Logan slowly walked towards the main entrance. As Logan walked into the building he saw the true beauty of it inside, black marble floors with black marble support beams. There were trees growing near a waterfall, and to the side of the entrance was a young woman sitting at a desk. Logan walked up to her tapped his finger on the desk.
"Hello sir, may I help you?" asked the woman with a slight hint of fear.
"Yes I am wondering if I could get the address of a Mr. Victor Stone."
The woman looked at him weird and shook her head.
"I am sorry sir but personal information of employees are strictly prohibited. You need a security card to get information."
Logan looked down and sighed, then he saw a business man walking towards the door, he wore a pass around his throat. Logan walked towards him quickly and pulled him buy the back of his throat towards the desk. He pulled the card off the frightened man and showed it to the young girl.
"There's your fucking pass now I suggest you do as I say."
The young girl gulped and printed out a peace of paper. She handed it to Logan and looked away from him.
"Thank you…I am glad you were able to understand my situation and tell that guy when he wakes up, because he just passed out from fright, that I truly appreciated his cooperation."
With that Logan folded the peace of paper and put it in one of his coat pockets and walked out of the building and onto his chopper. He speeds off into the area were the paper had told him Cyborg lived. The info paper told him that a Victor Stone lived on the street of Mesmerize Avenue. Logan didn't have to look hard, he saw the T-Car, still shiny and perfect like the days of old, sitting in a drive way of a clean and normal looking house. The house was a simple dark gray with white framed windows and a white door. On the roof was a satellite, it looked like Cyborg had still been using tope secret computers to reach large security bases like he had once showed Beast Boy how to do. Logan knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. Behind the door he could hear soft footsteps, it wasn't Cyborg but it must have been the Sarah Robin had told him about in the letter. When the door opened he saw a beautiful young girl, she was a caramel colored brunet with light green eyes. She had long curly hair and wore a white collar shirt with tight blue jeans. She also wore high heels and around her wrist was a green bracelet. In her pocket Logan could clearly see a pistol, for protection.
"Good afternoon, you must bee Logan…Cye told me you would be coming. Please come in and have a seat." Sarah said with a smiled.
Logan pulled off his overcoat; he was surprised to see that Sarah had no gasps to his dark green skin. He double looked the house with a smiled. The entire house has the metal color and lots of hidden computers and security systems Cyborg had in the Tower. There was a staircase to the attic and one to the basement were Cye's basement of operation must have been. Logan sat on a coach and saw Sarah wink and walk down stairs to the basement, so predictable of Cye to have an underground lab. Logan herd the footsteps come back but this time they were followed by heavy steps. When Sarah had come back Logan saw a very tall, black male emerge. He had a no hair and deep brown eyes. He wore two rings on his right hand and wore a grey collar shirt and baggy jeans. His feet were covered with metal bottom shoes. This was Victor Stone, Garfield's Logan's best friend and ex-partner. Logan saw Victor's eyes light up with a joy and a small tear forming in his right eye. Logan got up and looked Victor up and down; he laughed and gave his good friend a very happy hug.
"Man it is so good to see you again Cye." Logan said with a smile.
"Same here BB."
Logan looked at him and smiled.
"So you re made that ring that makes you look human."
Victor nodded and removed the ring on his index finger, his body glowed and then became the old Cyborg that everyone knows and loves. Cyborg sat across Logan and had Sarah sit next to him.
"Sarah has one to only it's on her left hand." Cyborg smiled.
Logan looked at her weird but then saw her remove the same ring off her left index finger; her arm glowed and became something like Cyborg had.
"This is how we meet. Victor saved my life by replacing my arm with this metal one, and then he gave me this ring and this one as well. We have been in love ever sense." Sarah said as she pointed to her ring on her right hand.
Logan smiled and looked at Cyborg again.
"I am sure you know why I am here; I am here to tell you that I need your help for killing Johnny Price."
Cyborg nodded and pressed a hidden button on the hand of his chair. Next to Logan was a desk, the top of it flipped and showed a suitcase and a couple boxes. Cyborg got up and gave Logan the suitcase.
"This is something I made for you when you were in prison. I call them the bullet point busters."
Logan opened up the suitcase and inside was two 9 mm pistol with 2 clips and on the top of it were many rows of bullets all different.
"These were once standard 9mm, but I updated them with all types of accessories, they are now able to shoot these bullets, the red tipped ones are laser points, they are like fire inside of a bullet. When it hits a person it will basically burn them from the inside out. The clear tipped bullets are bomb blasters. There like there names, they are little bombs inside of bullets powerful enough to vaporize the shot and the person next to him. These can only explode when you push the button on the tip of the gun itself. When you do, all fired bullets explode instantly. Then we have your standard bullets, then there are these, the golden tip ones are poison points. There perfect for crowded rooms. When you fire them they automatically explode and send out hundreds of poison needles that kill on contact, they dry the blood and leave the victims like mummies."
Logan looked at the guns and put them in his pocket, and then he hooked the suitcase to his backpack and smiled.
"You never cease to amaze me Cye." smiled Logan.
"We aren't done yet."
Logan looked at him and smiled, Cyborg gave Logan an M16, 2 shotguns, and 4 Uzi's with enough bullets to kill America in one shot. But Logan was given one final object it was wrapped in a black box. Logan opened it and bulled out what looked to be like the hilt to a sword, Logan raised an eyebrow and looked at 3 triggers on the side of the hilt and a button at the bottom.
"O.k. this is my favorite inventions, I call it the Massacre. What it is, is a old katana hilt that I super upgraded, now if you pull the first trigger you get you standard steel blade, the second trigger releases a steel whip, and the third trigger is a perfect killing machine. What it does is send out the first blade but this one is made of extend-o-steel. Now that metal is a metal strong enough to block a thousand bullets but it's like a whip, what you do is flick the blade and it extends and impales people like a large blade. But extend-o-steel makes it so you can make it turn, and follow people with the movement of your hand. The blade will certainly cut down opponents fast and furiously. Now the button at the bottom of the hilt will shoot the blade out like a gun and retracts it like the extend-o-steel. The only difference between the two is the blade is a hands free attack, so you don't need to move your wrist just push the button in and watch the blood flow."
Logan starred at it with an evil glare her smiled and put the Massacre in his right hand and pressed the first trigger, a 2 foot blade extended out, he pushed the second trigger and the blade retracted and a metal whip came out. Then he pressed the 3 trigger and the first blade came out. Logan twisted the hilt and the blade extended and stabbed into the floor. Logan smiled and pressed the trigger again and it retracted back to the hilt leaving the weapon empty.
"Thank you, I appreciate this greatly."
"You know Gotham is a lot closer here than it is in Jump, I think you should go find Robin and Star."
Logan looked at him and nodded.
"Is it o.k. if I stay the night I need time to prepare just in case I get attacked like I was coming here?"
Cye looked at Sarah and she nodded, Cye put his hand on Logan's shoulder and smiled. Logan smiled and put his overcoat on the coat hanger in the main room, he took the weapons into a room with a bed, a desk, and a TV Sarah had given him to stay in fro the night. As he closed the door Sarah looked at Victor.
"You think it is safe to let him do this?"
"He won't be alone, when he leaves, were going to Jump City to help Raven get ready to attack Price when BB gets there."
"What about Richard and Kori?"
"They will be there to…hopefully. But hey just think of it as this…it will be a Titan Reunion."
