'Sempre'

Chapter 1: Prologue

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Giovane! Get down here now! We have a city to protect!" yelled Robin from downstairs.

"Damnit." I mumbled. "Oh well, never a dull moment... especially around here."I grabbed my black

cloak off of my bed, put it over my black nano-armor and ran down the stairs towards the others

who were waiting for me.

As I came through the door, I saw everybody standing around the exit with expressionless faces,

except for Robin who had the look of a baboon who was ready to throw his feces.

"Didn't you hear the alarm?" asked Robin impatiently.

"Nope," I said in a proud tone.

We all hurried to the T-Car.

"Jeez, I don't know how you can do it Giovane," said Beast Boy as we all were getting intot he

car.

"Do what?" I asked.

"Keep your sense of pride, even when Robin bears down on you," he replied.

"Because he doesn't stand a chance against me," I said with a grin upon my face.

"HA!" Robin laughed, "I've seen the way you fight. It's sloppy and careless. You would never

stand a chance against me."

'If you only knew the truth, Robin,' I thought to myself.

"I think he's calling you out, man," said Cyborg as he was turning the car onto the freeway.

"I think you all should shut up," piped Raven.

"Yes, friends. We should all try to 'keep our eyes on your balls,' said Starfire.

Everybody, except Starfire, was laughing uncontrolably. Even Raven cracked a smile.

"I think you mean, keep our eyes on the ball," corrected Robin.

"Unless you want to look at my balls," said Beast Boy jokingly.

Raven elbowed him in the stomach.

"OW!"

"So where's the trouble this time, Robin?" asked Raven.

"The bank is getting robbed... again," replied Robin with a not so enthusiastic tone.

Everybody groaned.

"When will these people learn?" asked Beast Boy.

We pulled up to the bank where we all stepped out of the car and started to assess the

situation.

"Raven can you sense anything?" asked Robin.

"Nothing yet. Wait...I think someone is over behind the... GIOVANE LOOK OU-"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

I felt the first two bullets whiz right by my head... but the third...

Blackness...
