Chapter 2
Cracked pipes and cracked ribs,
Titan's tower was quiet for 7am in the morning except for Raven who was in the process of making tea, until a noise stopped that. "Gar," yelled a voice then a thud shaking the tower "open up now or I am coming in." Raven walked to the window and looked down seeing a maniac in a car ramming the door with it. "What's going on?" questioned impulse as he came into the room wearing a white shirt with Mickey Mouse boxers. "I don't know." Said Raven looking down at the vehicle "but I am going to find out."
The door of titans tower opened as Raven stepped out "is there a problem," asked Raven as looked at the man's appearance as drunken as the smell of alcohol lingered in the air, "where is he," said the man "I want to speak to Gar now" yelled the man at Raven's face. "First of all, he is not here." Said Raven while trying to control the rage "and second you're drunk." "Your covering for him," snapped the man as he got out of his car to confront the teen. "He's a smart kid how much did he pay you to say this shit?" suddenly the man was slammed against the car hard, "ok, I believe you, my name is Matt and I am Gar's cousin."
A few minutes later of Matt explaining himself, Raven opened her mouth. "You're his cousin; Gar has said nothing about you though." Raven retorted to Matt who just laughed at the comment. "Why would he, I am the only one in his family who care, I am sorry that I couldn't arrive at your wedding." "It didn't happen." Sighed Raven "Gar said that you were going to pick him up." "I asked Mr. Gaultry to phone him, I guess I can't question him now that I am fired, stupid Gar." Said Matt shaking his head "I tell you he never makes a mistake when it came to business matters," matt was interrupted by a voice as car pulled up beside them.
"Move your car I am tired and I need my rest." Said Cyborg looking at the man and raven, Cyborg couldn't get the thought out of his mind how much he looked like him. "Where have you been?" Matt looked confused at the comment as he watched the mechanical Titan get out of his car. "excuse me?" said matt looking at him then Raven as he was picked up by the cuff of his shirt, "you have some nerve coming back here," said Cyborg "after you hurt Raven," "whoa hold it," said Matt as he tried to explain before Raven did it before he could. "That's not Gar," said Raven as he watched his friend breathing in slowly "it's his cousin Matt." Suddenly Matt was slammed against his car again.
"Where is he?" said Cyborg as he put pressure on his skeletal frame. "Dude I don't know." Said Matt as he saw the doors to the tower open, "great now who is going to pick on me," "who's that?" asked Impulse looking at the scared look on the man's face. "He is Gar's cousin." Snapped Cyborg "and he won't tell me where the twerp is," "for the last time I don't know." Cried Matt in pain "I haven't seen him in person for 5 years," Raven walked over to Cyborg to calm him down as Cyborg relinquished his grip. "Remember I am the Logan that doesn't have powers." Said Matt as he got up to brush the dust off, "and to think, I wanted to be an actor." "But you picked him up on the day he disappeared." Said Impulse causing a laugh out of Matt "what's so funny," "I thought people grew out of the Disney phase." Said Matt pointing to the kid's Boxers, "quit changing the subject." Snapped impulse trying to shift the focus onto Matt,
"Talk to Gaultry," said Matt as he looked at his car and his belongings in the back seat. "Can I ask a favor?" "What," said Cyborg looking at the man as he shifted his weight from foot to foot. "I lost my job and my place a day after he went missing." Said Matt "so your point." Asked Impulse as the cold air hit him causing his teeth to chatter. "My point is I was wondering if I could stay with you guys until we find Gar, then I will leave." "Fine," said Raven "it would be nice to have family around," "but he isn't your family." Said Cyborg "and Robin has final word on things like this." "Robin doesn't decide thing in my life." Said Raven looking at Cyborg with a death glare, "fine explain it to him." Said Cyborg with a hint of anger, Cyborg then looked at matt "Move that car."
Matt looked shocked as he watch the two Titans leave. "he sure showed you." Said impulse with a smirk, "yeah your right, you know what else is funny." Asked Matt as he looked at the speed titan, "what," asked impulse "your face." Impulse laughed on the ground at his own joke he never saw him arrive with the rope. Matt hooked the feet with the rope hog tied him. "this isn't funny." Snapped Impulse as he struggled in the "sure it is, now where is the garage?" asked Matt with a smile that was similar to Beast Boy "untie me first." Demanded impulse as h "fine," said Matt untying the titan, "I will drive," said the titan running to the car "not my ride," said Matt as he watched the speed titan drive off with his car, matt the laughed "he's too short won't reach the breaks. And with that Matt headed inside the tower.
Meanwhile
Gar was driving on root to the town's reports house to do an odd job, Ms. Chloe Sullivan a local reporter who got tired of the city news and decide on writing the news in Smallville. Gar muttered a lot as he drove the car past a corn field while putting a cd in the cd player since his radio was broken. He finally arrived at the place he smiled at the farm house as he pulled up to the main house.
"Gar." Said a kid running up to him latching to his leg, "hey Jimmy," said Gar picking up the kid and hoisting the kid on his shoulders. "your mom inside" "yeah," said Jimmy as they made there way inside.
One look of the place you would be at awe of the stuff that was around, strange green rocks in protective casing. A wall with lots of weird stuff on it. Gar looked at the computer and saw the headline. 'Teen Titan still missing.' "must be an interesting story." Muttered Gar loudly "it is world wide news Gar," said Chloe with a tone of surprise on her voice "I find it funny that you're the only one in town who doesn't know about the case." "well I don't read much besides Vonnegut." Said Gar with a smile "my father would always encourage to read a lot of books, so where is this leak?" "right here," said Chloe as she watched jimmy Get off Gar's shoulders. Chloe then showed Gar the kitchen sink, "I think it's a busted pipe," said Gar taping the pipe with the wrench, "I will replace for you then," Chloe was about to say something when a knock on the door stopped her.
Gar started to work on the pipe as the voices of Chloe and her mystery guest arrived in the kitchen. "looks like you have a good person working on the pipes." Said a voice causing Gar to sit up and look at the person he was around 6,4 with black hair and blue eyes. Gar muttered something as he continued his work. "need any help?" asked the Stranger, "no, thanks I just need to find a replacement pipe." Said Gar as he wipes the crud that was on his face. Gar felt a bit of heat coming from behind him. "this pipe is fine." Said the man holding the pipe to Gar "no it's not it's." Gar stopped his speech to examine the pipe "it looked broken and it even had a crack along it." Gar then went back to work,
"any news on the missing kid?" asked Chloe to the stranger. "I don't think the kids are giving up soon" said the man who was looking at Gar with a feeling of déjà vu. "it's fixed," said Gar smiling at his handy work "thanks Gar," said Chloe who gave him a bottle of vodka as payment. "where is your washroom?" asked Gar as Chloe to him where it was.
"so Gar," asked the Stranger "where is he from?" "he gives a straight answer but I am use to it." Said Chloe looking to the Stranger "Gar is a loner really keeps to himself." "does anyone visit him?" asked the Stranger looking around as jimmy walked in "I don't know," said Chloe "normally I would google him but he never told me his last name," just then Gar came in to gather his tools, "so gar where are you staying?" "Talon," said Gar closing the toolbox "how do you know Chloe?" "I knew her when we were kids." Said The Stranger noticing the ring, "you married." "once, but my wife died in a car accident." Muttered Gar remembering a bit of his life "what's with the 20 questions, your not going to publish a story about the town's loner." "It's just idle chit chat," said the Stranger.
"gar, would you like to stay for dinner?" asked Chloe putting a chicken into the oven. "ok, I just need to get a salad I don't eat meat for religious reasons," said Gar as he went back to the stranger. "where do you live now?" "Metropolis," said the Stranger still with the lingering feeling of "I work at the newspaper there," suddenly an alarm went off and Gar swallowed a pill. From his pocket. "vitamins." Said Gar as the Stranger looked at his Pocket as if he were seeing through the fabric "hey I you know my name but I don't know yours." "my name is Clark,"
