Alright, this is where it gets – interesting…
Chapter Twenty-seven: The Beginning of a Long Day
Dick, Kori, Gar, Rachel, and Victor all sat around the hotel room, not doing much of interest.
Vic and Gar were playing cards on the sofa as Kori watched, Rach was reading yet another of Poe's works, and Dick was sitting at the table, sipping coffee and reading the Daily Planet.
Then, Dick spat out his coffee and did a double take.
"WHAT?" he said, staring at the paper.
"What is it, Dick?" said Kori, walking over to him. Then, after she saw what he was looking at, she gasped.
"What?" said Gar, also walking over. "Dude…" he said, eyes wide.
"Yo, what's…" said Vic, looking over their shoulders. Then, he also gave gasp.
"What?" said Rachel, looking up from her book.
As one, the four friends looked up slowly, and then gave each other nervous looks. Gar was the first to speak.
"Um, Rachel," he said, nervously, "you kinda need to see this…"
Rach got up from her book and looked at the article that read:
THE TEEN TITANS
A BRIGHT BAND
WITH A DARK SECRET
As many are aware, the annual Battle of the Bands contest will take place this year like every other. But how much do we know about the bands that take part in this yearly event? Yesterday, an anonymous source gave the inside scoop to the real content of one of the Teen Titans, a band competing in the contest.
"Her name's Rachel Roth," the insider said. "She's gothic and really violent. I heard that in the fifth grade, she broke some kid's arm." And it seems that the apple does not fall from the tree.
It was latter discovered that Rachel Roth is the daughter of none other than the infamous Trigon Roth, the convicted murderer now doing life in Azerath Penitentiary. It is reasoned that the acts of violence from Miss Roth are merely cries for help to get away from an abusive and neglectful family history. But their have also been questions about her acts of rebellion in not only violence, but in her sexuality as well.
"I think she might be bi(sexual)," the insider told us. "I know she hits on Robin (Richard Grayson) all the time, but I think she and Starfire (Kori Anders) might have something going on. I mean, they're always together."
Well, though some questions are still debatable, many facts are undeniable. This bright band has a dark secret.
Lois Lane
Daily Planet
Rachel stared at the paper, not knowing how to react. Her mind was a complete blank.
"Who would say such horrible things?" said Kori, coming close to tears.
As she spoke, Terra came out of the girl's bedroom.
"Morning!" she said, cheerfully.
Rachel took one look at her and swiftly went into the bedroom, slamming the door.
"What's wrong with her?" she asked.
"Look," said Dick, handing her the article.
"Oh," she said after giving it a short glance, "that's awful!" ButGar could have sworn he saw a glint of a smile.
"Well," Vic announced, "I for one am not going to stand for this." He got up and walked over to the door. "I'll be back latter." And he left.
Ok, I know that wasn't very long, but that's because this chapter splits into two chapters that happen on the same day, so yeah…
R&R!
