Ch.29: The Start of a New
The sun had finally risen to a new Jump City. The dark shadow of Price Corp. lay in ruins, a long with the particles of its former owner. The Titans had done the impossible once again but it wouldn't be the last time. So now the Titans stood in a real team in a perfect moment of a group hug. The only thing holding up Logan and Nightwing were the arms of there loved ones. Behind them stood the remaining residence of Jump City and the last Titans East joined by the HIVE men.
"And that my friends was a true Kodak moment." joked Logan as he kissed Raven on the cheek.
The Titans broke the hug with bright blushes on all of there faces.
"So what are you all going to do now?" asked the priest.
"Well were heading back to the East Tower." Bumble bee said.
"Yep Gizmo and I are going to our old base to see if we can rebuild it and maybe get some more members." Mammoth said with a smile.
"Thank you all, we will hold you in our highest respect, if you ever need a place to stay come to our place." said a family.
"Titans what about you?"
"Well first let's go see the remains of Titans Tower." Cyborg said.
The entire city began another march to the downtown area and stopped at the road to Titans Island. The Titans themselves walked up towards there home and looked at its remains.
"Hey guys looked over there see those four poles standing up higher than anything else those are the main base pikes we can rebuild the tower with those, we could have it built in a little less than 3 months." smiled Cyborg.
"Well guys want to be heroes again?" asked Logan with a smile.
"Sure we will all do it but were going to need a place for our newest roommate Sarah Stone." said Nightwing grinning wide.
"You mean it I can stay with you all!" laughed Sarah.
"Of course and maybe if Cyborg plays his cards right he might just get a couple clones running around, right big Guy." joked Logan as he nudged Cyborg's stomach with his elbow.
"Well I… if my calculations are correct, I guess the rings… should uh…give me the entire well…package." blushed Cyborg as he rubbed the back of his neck.
The group laughed and tossed a couple silent dirty jokes into the open.
"Sarah could stay in my room or you can have her in yours Cye." said Raven.
"But then were will you sleep?" asked Nightwing suspiciously.
"With me of course I'm back remember." Logan smiled.
Nightwing though about it then nodded in defeat. The group walked back towards the crowd and gave them all a big smile.
"Well we can rebuild the tower in 3 months that is if everyone wants to help us." Cyborg said out loud.
"You know we will Titans, if anyone of us needs help then all of Jump City will help." said the Priest.
And so began the long awaited rebuilding of Titan's Tower. They almost built it exactly like the old one except with more high tech equipment and better defense abilities. Victor even got Richard to let him install that Disco ball and lights and create a bottom floor room into a dance floor area with a mini bar (thanks to the brilliant mind of Logan himself). Everything was perfect and in 3 months it was all up and ready but the towns people had a surprise of there own.
One day long after the fall of Price Corp. the area was cleared up and built into a park with lush trees and green grass. In the front of the park was towns hall were a new mayor would be elected soon but in the middle of Jump City stood a very large object covered in a white sheet almost like a flag.
"To thank you Titans we have constructed something to honor you all for a long time." said some person from the town.
Behind the object was almost the entire town and in front of it were the now 6 Titans. The man removed the sheet and sent shocked looks on all the Titans faces. In front of them was a large pearl statue carved to show all the Titans, HIVE, and T-East people (excluding Deadeye). And the in front of them was a crushed Price sign with Logan crushing it beneath his feet.
Below the statue on a large plaque were all the heroes names and engraved below it was written,
'To our Heroes, may this last as long as you will and to let you know you will always be in our hearts, one for all and all for one.'
The Titans let large smiles cover there faces and sent tears to Starfire.
"Thank you all this means so much to us." smiled Nightwing.
Sometime later that day all the Titans were up on top of the newly constructed Titans Tower. In front were Raven and Logan with arms rapped around there waists. They all stared out at the now beautiful and clean city they called home. While they stared out at the beautiful sight Logan made a swift movement and tripped. He swung his body around and kept himself from falling face first.
With a smile he fell to one knee in front of Raven and let out a big smile.
"Well since I am already down here I might as well do this."
With that Logan reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. He opened it in his palm and inside laid a beautiful gold and silver ring. There were vines of twisting silver and gold rapping around each other. And in the middle were a green and purple gem that interlocked each other.
"Logan…I." said Raven with tears in her eye.
"No Raven I have to say this, Raven Roth will you be my wife?"
Raven felt tears of joy falling down her face. As well as the Titans themselves, with a big smile Raven rapped her arms around Logan's body and there they stood noses touching and the orange light of the sun in the back round.
"Yes Garfield Logan, I do, and I always will."
With that they placed there lips against one another's and kissed with the passion and love of a thousands years. The Titans have said that if any kiss had ever been as pure it would not have matched the true love between those two people ever and again. But as they finished there kiss Raven pulled Logan into the Tower.
"I have something to tell you."
As this was going on in a far away building near the destroyed docks of Jump harbor a table sat in a room and a light swung back and forth showing the face of Riku and then hiding it in darkness once again. In front of him stood the 3 remaining agents in his fallen empire that his slave had left him.
"So master, is Price finally gone?" asked the Australian accented people.
"Yes everything is going according to plan, Malice did his part by helping Logan get rid of the man and now I have all the pieces poisoned behind them all." smiled Riku as he pulled out a small vile full of red liquid.
"That's Logan's blood correct? It's a good thing we have the blue prints for the cloning machine, now what of the money?" said the man.
"Malice has already taken it, it is in my possession and will never leave until I am sure I need to use it."
"Good so what do we do now?"
"We wait till the right moment and strike and if my mind powers are telling me then the time to strike is some time away boys."
"How long!" yelled the larger one.
"10 years, and then we will be able to strike, 10 years on the anniversary of my fathers falling day and we will strike upon it."
"Till then what do we do?"
"Live our lives in secrecy and begin our real plans at night do you all understand?"
"Yes master we will not fail you again."
"Good very good, so now it's all a matter a time."
Riku sat back in his chair and the 3 slaves left to leave him in his glory.
"Soon the world will die and the dark sun shall glow on its final day. Thus the prophecy is fulfilled."
And the dark lord let his laughs echo across the leaky walls of the pier and echoes out into the dark city once again.
Back at the Tower Logan held a stick with a blue tip on it and large tears of joy in his eyes.
"So does this mean what I think it means?"
"Yes Gar, were going to have a baby."
And with that the world was at peace for the time being that is. In every story there has to be a good ending that's why it's a story. But sometimes you just have to accept it. Even if darkness hides the light will always shine through it all. No matter how dark it gets in your life remember there will always be the shining light in your life that will be there for you and help you till the end of time no matter whom it be they will be there for you.
So remember that for the rest of your life and never let the darkness win. Because what is life worth living for if you let it be ruined by such worthless worries. Life is supposed to be yours so let it be that way until death shows up on your door step. So with that note every buddy good bye (for now) and take care of yourself and your families, till the next story comes round.
