Chapter 2: Brother Blood is Thankful He's on his Way to Therapy
Author's Note: Instead of going from Titan to Titan to Titan, I decided to make my own pattern: Start with Robin, then go to Brother Blood, and then go to whoever needs to have their day ruined. Different, yes? Well, anyway, I got one review! Yay! And I promise, PoweroftheFrogs, that I will make future chapters longer. Chapter 1 is probably the shortest chapter I've written in my life. Seriously. Thank you for reviewing! Onto the story…
Getting to Steel City was no problem for Gertrude, despite the fact that she had absolutely NO idea where she was going. It took about four hours (due to rush hour and the fact that Gertrude barely managed to pass her driving exam in high school), but she managed to pull into the cramped parking spot in front of the office of Dr. Melody Stefani without getting arrested, hitting someone, or going through yet another traffic light. Gertrude got out of her black Hummer, through the scratched-up door, and up the sticky concrete stairs to the waiting room. There, she saw the familiar demented face of Brother Blood. Gertrude decided to pay him a little visit.
"Hi, Blood." She walked over to him and sat next to him, occasionally running her finger across his robotic shoulder. Brother Blood did not reply.
"HELLO!" Gertrude was now leaning up against him, screaming in his ear.
Blood still did not reply. Instead, he sighed, stared at the clock, and thought to himself, Please hurry up, Dr. Stefani. Your gal-pal over here is about to damage my circuitry…
"ATTENTION BROTHER BLOOD: YOU NEED TO REWIRE YOUR EARS SO YOU CAN HEAR ME! WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ME?" Gertrude was screaming so loudly at this point, Brother Blood couldn't stand to ignore her any longer. He was just about to scream back when Dr. Stefani came out into the room.
"Hey, Gerty. How many people are on your list to torment today? I see one already." She winked at Brother Blood, who groaned.
"Yeah, and the Teen Titans, too." Gertrude grinned. At the words "Teen Titans", Brother Blood seemed to perk up. "Have you tormented Cyborg yet?" He asked eagerly.
"No, not yet. I got Robin this morning." Gertrude blew another bubble, which then popped all over Brother Blood's face. He began to scratch it off with a sharp, metallic finger, but then scratched his own skin.
"Well, I'll get it later. So, Dr. Stefani, lead the way." Brother Blood was itching to get as far away from Gertrude as possible.
"Um, sure. See ya later, Gert. And tomorrow, can you fill in for one of my receptionists? I forgot to call you last night, but one of my secretaries is on jury duty this week, so…" Dr. Stefani opened the door to let Brother Blood into her office.
"Eh, sure, as long as I get donuts and you pay me. I'm still trying to pay off those cell phone bills I used to stalk Jude Law with. Anyway, See ya later, Mel. I have to go ruin another Titan's day." Gertrude got up and giggled to herself as she left the building.
Heeheehee… that was fun to write. I'll probably post later chapters throughout the week, since my mom is using Microsoft Word to do her homework with. Ah, well. Hmm…I'm probably going to torture Beast Boy or Starfire next, I'm not sure. Probably BB, because I want to maintain a weird order. And no, Gertrude is not based off of me, nor is it my real name. It's a long story. Anyway, just another random note, I was originally going to use Melody Stefani as my main character for this story, but as I wrote Chapter 1, I had no idea what I was doing, thus resulting in the creation of Gertrude. Oh, well. I better start coming up with Chapter 3…
Oh, yeah. I know this chapter's kinda short, too, but hey, short chapters more chapters!
