Okay, my second installment of my new story. This is when all hell breaks loose, literally.
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans…damn.
Time: 12:30 pm
Location: Downtown
The teens swarmed the door, fighting off the terrible smell. Robin took the lead and walked through the house, his bird-a-rang was out and ready for use. His sharp, crafty eyes examined the layout of the building. Walls separated one large room into smaller rooms. There were no doors.
He signaled to the others to move out. The nodded in agreement and stealthily crept over to their destination. With a flutter of his cape, Robin entered the building and quickly recoiled in horror.
On a table in the middle of the room, a butchered body was resting, blood trickling down the legs of the side formed small, ruby rivers that joined together to form dense, crimson puddle that revealed a reflection of the horrified Boy Wonder tinted red.
His heartbeat soared as he moved closer to the slain figure. A shriek came to life from behind and Robin jumped nearly a foot. The scream….it was Starfire! He dashed out of his room and into the one she had taken.
As he came to her side he saw what had caused her to scream; more dead bodies. Three young girls and a small dog composed the group, all of which were left behind gruesomely by their killer. The paled, terrified alien dug her face into his chest as her tears wetted his uniform. Robin wrapped his arm around her.
"It's okay, Star. We'll fix this. I promise." Robin reassured.
Beast Boy came running in, his face was a light, pale green and he looked sick. He glance at the slain bodies and his condition seemed to grow worse. Before he could speak, Robin said, "You found a body?"
Beast Boy was taken aback by the accuracy of his guess but got over it quickly and nodded feverishly.
"A whole stack of 'em! What the hell happened!" said Beast Boy as he threw his hands up in confusion.
"What ever happened, it happened in the entire house." said Cyborg as he walked in with Raven. They briefly looked at the remains before averting their sight to their leader. "Our rooms had a few of these guys, too. Got any guesses?"
Robin opened his mouth to speak as he pointed his finger to literally make a point but Raven briskly cut him off.
"Please don't say Slade." she pleaded sarcastically.
He lowered his hand and glared at her, deflated.
"In that case, I've got nothing." he murmured in defeat. "But who ever did this is serious. Cy, call the police and tell them to send a few paddy-wagons for our friends here. I don't think they'll give a damn about leg room."
Starfire glared at him for not taking this seriously. Her tears had stopped but she displayed a dismal grimace at every turn of the house. She scuttled out of the main door and stood by the car as Cy dialed the number of the police.
"Damn, some o' these guys don't even have legs." he muttered as he punched in the keys to the phone number. A dial tone resounded and repeated as the Titans anxiously waited for some sort of contact with other humans.
It repeated over and over again but still no one answered.
"Sons of bitches, the only time we need them and they're not there! What the hell are these guys paid to do?" Cyborg complained as he changed his contact to camera phone. A projection light was cast out from the half-robot's arm and onto a blank, white wall. What it showed was unnerving.
The police station was abandoned. Further more, it looked like it was raided and torn apart. Something shifted in the corner of the station behind a desk. Before Cy could focus on it, a shriek once again pierced the night.
"Star!" Robin cried out concerned, making his way to the front door.
"It was not me, Robin." she replied.
Something leapt out of the shadows and attacked Beast Boy, tackling him to the ground. It was one of the dead bodies! As it swung its clawed arms and wailed in an unearthly tone, BB struggled to throw the diseased beast from him. Raven reacted swiftly and without mercy. She used her powers to lift the creature of Beast Boy and then tore it in half. Even then, the two halves wriggled in her magic's black grasp.
"Titans, pull back!" Robin commanded as he hurled explosives into the fray to disorient their enemy. The Titans more then willingly did what they were told. They rushed out the entrance, firing all they had into the house as they ran.
"What's going on!" asked Starfire frantically.
"Get in the car!"
"Why!"
"Get in the fucking car!"
Starfire trembled as Beast Boy opened the door and Raven shoved her into the car and thusly followed her. Cyborg flipped over the front of the car and jumped into the driver's seat, just as Robin hopped into the passenger seat next to him.
"GO! GO! GO!" yelled Robin as he slammed the door shut.
Cyborg didn't need to hear another word. He nearly crushed the gas pedal as the car was hurled into motion, squealing as it flew down the street.
Robin gripped the arm of his chair as adrenalin coursed through him, a toll for brief spurt of action. He surveyed his team: Cyborg was tightly gripping the wheel as his eyes, wide open, carefully watched the shifting road. Starfire was huddled in her seat, holding herself as she shook. Raven placed her arm on Star and tried to comfort her. BB was examining himself, searching for a wound amidst the blood from his attacker.
"What the hell was that?" asked Cyborg out-loud.
"Satan!" BB yelled his answer.
"Don't be stupid!" retorted Raven, "I would know a demon if I saw it. They were possessed but not by a demon."
"So we have no clue…again." snapped Robin. He pounded the dash-board of the T-car in a release of fury. Cyborg was too frightened to care. He slicked back his hair and looked at BB.
"You okay?"
"Really? No. But I'm not hurt, if that's what you meant." said BB.
"What now?" asked Star, eeking out enough courage to speak up. Robin looked at her sadly. He wished he was gentler to her, but I the heat of a moment you really can't control your expressions.
"I've got no idea." he admitted, "We'll do what we can. We'll get back to the Tower and contact higher authorities. We'll request some assistance and hopefully get this sorted out."
"I don't wanna die, Robin." said BB.
"You won't. Now control yourself. We're almost home-"
"Jesus Christ!" cried Cyborg, slamming on the brakes. Robin swiveled in his seat and looked at Cyborg. He followed his gaze to the T-Tower. It was on fire.
Please review. Just so I know you're alive and watching.
