Thank you for the review Mr. D and I know I write weird and it's hard to understand sometimes but I will try to improve so let's start the end. This is not the final chapter its just part of the final chapter
Ch.23: Stand and Fight Part 1
Logan looked around and saw the bright orange light shinning through the circular holes made by the bullets. He sighed; knowing that Price was already on his tail was bad news. Logan saw the rest of the team come to look at him with surprise and horror, blood was splatter over his shirt and in his hair, along with dust and dirt from god knows were. Logan turned to see Cyborg starring at Speedy without any show of emotion.
"Why weren't you helping him?" asked the metallic man.
"I didn't need to… he was done with them all by the time I noticed."
"That's all you could come up with? You disappoint me. Even I could here the moving of feet outside of that door, I was hoping it would be you. Logan could have been injured why didn't you help?"
"I already gave you my answer no lay off."
"That's no answer that's a weak alibi even for you."
"I said lay the hell off!"
"Stop it both of you… Cyborg if Speedy gave you an answer there's no need to extend it any further." Nightwing said with stern eyes on both of them.
"That wasn't an answer he's lying all I want to know is why he just stood there and listened."
"Why didn't you help then, if you wanted to so bad!" yelled Speedy.
Cyborg didn't answer he just kept his eyes on the orange haired boy.
"There was an open door right there and you could have taken it anytime, so don't you dare go put a black cloud over my head!"
"Stop it now!" Nightwing yelled with darkness in his throat.
Cyborg and Speedy both looked back in forth between themselves and the dark night's apprentice, then they saw the stern eyes of there fellow teammates and the sadness in Kroi's eyes.
"Please friends do not fight, not when we are so close to victory." She said while putting a hand on her shoulder.
"There is no victory in what we have coming Kori, we can't win haven't any of you all figured it out yet? He knows were we are and he is watching us with all eyes. We won't lay a finger on him with that tower bellowing above us, were fucked!" Speedy yelled as he threw his arms up in the air and took his weapons.
The orange haired boy stomped out of the building and into the van; he sat in the driver seat rubbing his eyes.
"What's lodged in his asshole?" asked Gizmo with a giggle.
"Lay off Giz, he's just worried, very worried, so we all just have to deal with his temper." Jinx said softly.
"That dude is asking for the wrong things." Cyborg said as he clenched his fists.
Sarah put her hand on his and softly kissed his cheek.
"You aren't hurting anyone without a Price sign today."
Cyborg sighed and rubbed the back of his head.
"O.k. so we better get going, Price knows were we are so he's already on step ahead of us." Nightwing sighed softly.
"And the only way to stop a stepping guy like Price is to break his legs…the hard way." Mammoth chuckled as he cracked his knuckles.
"Somehow I suspected you would say that." Logan laughed as he patted Mammoth on the back.
"Good luck to you all, and I know this might be the last time we ever save the day or the world so let me tell you this, I love each and every one of you like a brother and sister. I hope you all feel the same towards me." Nightwing said as he brushed away a tear from his eye.
The ex boy wonder opened his eyes behind his mask only to see no one there. All the Titans were in or near the T-car and Logan sat on the side of the van door looking at him with a wide smile.
"Cry me a river bird boy lets get this over with, get your circus ass in that van and for god sakes man be bossy again." yelled Cyborg.
Nightwing hung his head low and chuckled.
"It's just like old times…I hate it!"
Nightwing jumped into the van and slammed the door shut. With a small smile and a little anger in his heart he slapped Logan across the head.
"What did you do that for?" complained Logan.
"You were suppose to stay and listen I gave an emotional performance the least any of you could do was hear it."
"I never liked Romance stuff so let's transfer over to action and tragedy again."
"I hate you and your movie world."
"Ya I know."
Nightwing sighed and opened the Titasn communicators.
"I know this might sound corny but I think I need to say it again. Teen Titans Go!"
With that the van sped off and Raven teleported the van and her friends to an undisclosed location. This was the beginning of the end.
Some minutes later the van arrived a block away from Price Corp. it hid in the shadows of a building of unseen color, it looked red but was a dull gray by sight. Logan and Nightwing jumped out of the van and hid in the ever lasting darkness. Speedy looked at them and nodded into the empty shadows of the darkness, and with that he drove off into the growing dark blue of the night.
"You ready?" asked Logan with a grin on his face.
"Depends are you?" answered the dark warrior.
"I've been ready for 10 long years."
"Don't forget we need to be careful, we don't want him to discover us sooner than we pleaded."
"Yes I know…I have planned it all out, and so far it's working perfectly."
"Then let's go, stick to the shadows."
The two men slowly walked across the alley making sure to keep in the shadows. Nightwing's face slowly appeared in the deep blue of night. He looked around the corner to see if any unwanted visitor lay wait but none came to his vision.
The man held a thumb up to the green changeling in back of him. They slowly dashed across the street and made it to the alley next to the large building.
"Suggest we use the front door?" asked Logan.
"Why don't we just knock and see whose home."
Logan chuckled and dashed faster than last time across the street but hide on the side of a building. He saw a blinking red dot, a security camera was viewing the scene and luckily he wasn't spotted. Logan pointed to the security camera to Nightwing who was still across the street. The black knight pulled out something to small for Logan to view and aimed it at the security camera. There was a small black beam of light flowing across the street and hitting the camera on the blinking dot. The camera stopped its motion and the red dot disappeared; the camera was out. Nightwing almost glided across the street and stopped next to Logan who looked at his small weapon with a smile.
"APV jamming ray, it stops all electronics that are put in its view. Originally made for cameras but it's been know to short circuit a few computers in its days."
"Nothing beats the classics though."
"What's that?"
"You know guns…they stop anything with a quick movement of your index finger, take that and shove it up technologies ass."
"Whatever."
Logan slipped into the back alley way of the Price Corp. building and searched for a way in. Then he saw it, a small black door almost invisible in the dark but still there. Logan walked up to it and saw a security clearance car for the lock. He sighed and started to think. Then it hit him. The Mechanic's Tech. card he had stolen off of the man at Mechanic's Tech. headquarters. The weapons and technology company was owned by Price Corp. so there security card should be similar to this one. Logan started to rummage through his backpack of ammo and clips. Then he found it next to a shotgun pile. He swiped the card and prayed to god it would work.
The small device on the door took 5 seconds and the red light turned green and the door popped open.
"Yes…thank you Jesus." Logan whispered.
Nightwing slowly crept into the building, the halls were black as night but ahead of him he could see a small light from a hallway. He crept along the wall sticking to the floor making sure he wouldn't be attack in the hallway. Logan followed and they soon reached the small light it was a slim door with a peak hole. Logan jiggled the handle and saw it was open. He opened the door and was blinded by the golden light coming from the new room. The two men took one look at the room and gasped at the sight in front of them.
Somewhere sometime away from the Price Corp. headquarters Raven and the other titans were gliding across the sky in a black bubble. The empathic woman slowly touched the ground 2 blocks away from the large army base that could still be seen from there. She looked around and saw no people.
"Were could all the civilians be?" asked Aqua Lad.
"I think I know." Cyborg said as he looked away from the Titans.
The team looked in the direction as him and saw a large building in front of him. It was a church with Jesus on the cross placed on the door. The Titans could see small shadows moving towards the church, with an idea bright in there head they started to run towards the church along with Gizmo who was driving the T-car from his compartment.
Starfire walked up to the very large metal door with the holly figure looking down at them. She pulled on the handle and the doors started to budge open revealing a very crowded inner area. There were beautiful colored glass windows to the side of them and large chandeliers hanging high on the pointed roof. There were rows of wooden chairs benches leading up to the short stairs that lead to a podium and more pictures and statues of the Christian figures. Then to his left was a large piano and stairs leading up to a second story with a balcony were a group of young women and men were lightly singing and chant that seemed spiritual and haunting. The entire church was crowded with women, men, and children that seemed to be praying on the benches.
"Please enter young children." said a portly older man.
One look at the man could tell his was the father of the church. He wore long black robes with golden stitching on the color. He wore a small cross necklaces and rings on his fingers. He seemed to be in his late 50's with a growing grey beard.
"Father why do you all come here?" asked Cyborg as he approached the smaller man with a shake of his hand.
"Because these are not holly people and neither am I. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Catholics, Mormons, and many other religions are here with us at this moment. They are not here for spiritual enlightenment but a place to stay were someone above them can protect them. There are scared and had no choice but to come here were the Holy Father watches over them."
"But they know that Price will come here as well. So why don't they stand and fight?"
"Because it is pointless to fight against him, there's no chance that they would win. They are people that gave up hope so they come here for there final prayer. As did you all yes?"
"No we came here because we are going to put up a resistance against Price, a final blast of light into the dark that we let become to strong. We came here because we though the people would be here."
"Then you are in the wrong place, you cannot ask these people to give up there life for a worthless resistance could you? They have children and wives and relatives here and they do not want to leave them."
"But if they don't fight back then they might see there love ones fall to a man who gets pleasure from it."
"They don't care, they are here to put up one last chance to have protection and I am giving it to them."
"But father."
"Enough! I will here no more of this nonsense especially in a house of god. Now if you are not here for protection then I ask you to leave at once."
The Titans looked at the old man and saw the seriousness in his eyes. They all turned to leave but Starfire, she stayed there and kept looking at the man.
"Come on Star, they don't want us here." Mammoth said as he put his hand on her shoulder.
"No I do not wish to leave not until they understand the seriousness of this situation."
"Young lady I am sorry but they already know."
"No I do not think they do. You may but they don't these people have a word as well."
"Please; child do not cause a problem here not now."
"No I am not going to cause a problem I am going to cause a statement."
By now the entire house of people were watching them carefully.
"Listen to me, I do not know much of this man you have around but I know that if he was still alive today he would join us in this battle. He is a religion for a reason, because he knows the people need a chance and he can bring it to them. So think that your god is on our side please and fight with us till the bitter or better end. It is up to you all not this man, he has his voice but so do you so speak it now if you wish to be heard with open ears."
The people in the church were all looking at the beautiful young woman, some of them with tears in there eyes. Then a young little boy no older than 8, which if Logan had seen he would know him as Thomas Wilison, walked up to Starfire.
"Mr. Logan was a friend of mine and he stood for the rebellion that you are talking about, and if this will stop the mean man like you say it would then I will stand next to you."
Thomas walked behind and to the side of Starfire with a smile on his dirty little face. Soon after him more people; men, woman, and children started to walk up and stood next to Starfire and crowded around her. Soon the entire church surrounded her with smiles on there faces. Starfire had tears of joy in her eyes and she started giggling as she hugged little Thomas with a silent thank you whispered in his ear.
"O.k. then if you all wish to join us, go to anywhere that you can get a weapon and meet us back here." Starfire said as she whipped the tears out of her eyes.
The people started to huddle out of the church and run down to houses and stores and enter them, sometime later they walked out with knives, bats, helmets, guns, anything that could be a useful weapon to them. It took the people no less than 10 minutes to regroup at the church. There had to be 200 people and some other civilians were coming out of houses and alleys looking at the crowd and joining them in the crowd. The priest walked up to the front of the line and raised his palms high.
"This is it people! We stand here and fight, we bring down Price tonight, and there will be nothing that can stop us. If we are injured we get back up and fight. Nothing will stop our spirit for the light. We will fight and we will win!"
