Helllo there! Thank you for all the reviews, here is the new chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. Wow, who would've guessed that!
The Pendant
Chapter 7: Distractions
As the sunlight of early morning fell on his face, Beastboy quickly sprang up slipped his uniform on. Whistling to himself, he grabbed his Ipod and his keys to the utility closet. It was his day to vacuum, and having been lax on his chores before and considering Robin's incessant bad mood, he decided to stay on his leader's good side. He walked down the hall and unlocked the door, and pulled out the shiny vacuum.
"Don't know why Cy can't do this" Beastboy said to himself as he heaved the Vacuum to the nearest power outlet, "The guy has a vacuum in his arm."
Beastboy plugged the cord into the wall and grabbed his green Ipod from his pocket. He flipped on a Beastie Boys song, placed the device back in his pocket, and started to vacuum the increasingly messy hallway.
"You gotta fight, uh huh, for your right…to part-ay" Beastboy sang along, pretending the vacuum was a guitar. Being increasingly busy doing a bad Beastie Boys imitation, Beastboy wasn't patricianly paying any attention to what he was vacuuming. The vacuum stopped for a second, trying to vacuum up a large metal object that was on the floor. It sucked it in with a loud bang, one that Beastboy would've heard if the volume wasn't at maximum.
Not noticing a thing he finished the song and the vacuuming by yanking the vacuum's plug out of the socket, grabbing the shiny thing, and pretending to slam out a huge guitar solo.
Satisfied with his work Beastboy walked back to the closet and threw the vacuum in. The song on his Ipod switched and his face scrunched in confusion.
"Hillary Duff? How the heck did this get on my play list... Grr, darn Raven, always putting stuff I hate on my Ipod to make me mad…"
And without a single thought of emptying out the vacuum to see if he had vacuumed up something he shouldn't have he ventured back to his room.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"So, is it here?"
The man looked at his identically clothed comrade "From what I've heard"
The other man chuckled "Man, Gotham is the most important city, the strongest, the oldest, and they could barely take the stuff. But this city? Yeah it's big, but they have a bunch of kids protecting them. I mean, c'mon"
"Yeah, that's what Raz said" The man looked over his shoulder "It's in that car I bet"
The black car pulled up next to the men. 2 more identically clothed comrades emerged. The only difference was that they had a red belt around their waists. That meant they were higher level ninja on Raz's scale.
"You two, make a diversion while we set this off" One of the higher-ranked commanded
Jack shook his head. He wasn't so good at disguise and what not. That's why he didn't have one of those red belts around his black ninja suit.
"With what?"
The taller higher-ranked shook his head "You're a grown man, use your head" he said, as the two higher-ranked moved the device into the warehouse behind them.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"Cereal and soy milk, uh huh. Cereal and soy milk, oh yeah" Beastboy sang as he poured brown-colored soy milk into his off-color Veggie O's.
"Uhm, eww" Cyborg said, shoveling bacon into his mouth
Raven looked up from her book, "You pour syrup on your bacon. If I were you, I wouldn't be talking."
Beastboy and Cyborg stared at each other, then shrugged and went back to shoveling high fat content breakfast food into their mouths.
Starfire looked up from her Zorka berry concoction and giggled. For the first time in days she wasn't in a completely dreadful mood. After last night she could feel like one of the many barriers between her and Robin had been torn down. They had reached a slight understanding. Though from what she gathered, she and Robin were still not really friends anymore. There were still about 50 more walls to tear down before that would happen. She glanced over at Robin who was searching through the refrigerator for something edible and frowned. It was very sad that she couldn't even stand to look at the boy who had once been her closest, best friend anymore.
"Don't we have anything edible in this house anymore?" Robin complained
Raven looked up from her book "why do you think I don't eat breakfast?"
The alarm went off, and for the first time in weeks it didn't have anything to do with a fire.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Jack swiftly stepped up to the front door of Jump City National Bank, reminding himself that he wasn't going against ninja code, that he was just creating a diversion. He didn't even look like a Ninja at the moment. The two higher-ranked had managed to gather up a pair of black sweat pants, a red T-shirt, and a ski mask to cover his face.
Jack gulped and broke the glass door of the bank, whipped out his gun, and held it out.
"Alright everyone, cash please and no one'll get hurt" Jack said, hoping he sounded convincing.
The Bankers and the customers all froze is shock. Jack made his move, slowly walking over to the counter, gun still held out in front of him. He pointed the tip of the gun at a young lady who worked at the bank.
"Put the money on the counter" Jack commanded.
Now was his move. As the lady put a wad of cash on the counter, Jack reached for it and pretended his hand slipped, pressing the button that would send an alert out to Titans tower. Alarms sounded around the store, and red laser beams surrounded the vaults and counters. Carefully tripping every laser, he headed to the door.
"Alright, everyone out, no one wants to get hurt" Jack said as the crowd of workers and customers ran out.
That was faze one. Now all he had to do was wait. As he started to turn around a fist hit his head and he knocked into the counter, forcing his to topple back words.
He flipped over the counter and kicked the leader in the stomach, causing him to topple back. He whipped around before he hit the ground, and kicked Jack in the shins.
"Gonna hafta do better than that" Robin said, holding his legendary expandable bow-staff at Jack's neck.
Jack smiled. A Bow-staff, now that was a weapon he knew how to use. He almost felt bad as he punched the boy as hard as possible into a mettle wall. Jack grabbed the staff and watched as the unconscious leader of the Titans slid to the floor.
Almost instantly he was hit by a furry or Green laser bolts. Starfire's starbolts. He was only able to deflect and dodge a few. The rest stung and burned him, ate away at the staff, and melted part of the ski mask, the hot plastic dripping down his face. If that wasn't enough, he was slammed into a wall by a gigantic green gorilla and swung around by a dark energy force. Still, he got up and kicked Raven and Beastboy into a wall. Soon enough Cyborg slammed the ninja into a wall. He had three head wounds and hot plastic scarring his face. In a normal mission he could've beat them all with a few punches. This time, he let them win. After all, the mission was far from beating the Titans. The mission was to distract them, and from what he heard from the ear piece in his ear his mission had been a success. The room went dark as he laughed quietly to himself.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Robin stood up and shook himself awake. He had only been out for a few minutes.
"You okay, man?" Cyborg asked as he helped Robin to his feet
Robin nodded "That guy was tough. Much too tough to be your average bank robber. He was trained in martial arts, that's for sure"
After the police came and Robin told them what happened the team walked outside.
Beastboy inhaled deeply "Ahh, I love a fresh summer day"
Starfire nodded happily "Yes! The air smells like flowers and dew drops!"
A few instants later there was a spraying sound echoing all over. Some sort of gas filled the air in every corner of Jump city.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Beastboy screamed, running around and waving his arms frantically
Cyborg held out his arm, and a reading appeared on the screen "Fear inducing gas. We better get back to the tower now, and try to hold your breath"
Starfire grabbed Robin and Cyborg and she, Raven, and Beastboy took off into the air, zooming back to the tower. On arrival Cyborg quickly opened and locked the doors, windows, and every crevice.
The all exhaled.
"How could someone administer a gas that quickly throughout the city?" Cyborg said, shaking his head as each Titan gathered around the Town Situation monitor.
"Because," Robin said "That bank robber? He wasn't there for the money, or the jewels, or the attention. He was a distraction"
To be continued…
I have come to terms with the fact that I will probably never own Teen Titans. I would like to own some reviews though (hint hint)
