Ch.2 A Potential Ally

"We are going on vacation!" Starfire declared as she walked into the living room.

"The ship is leaving in a few days, we should start packing!" Robin added with a smile.

"You guys do what you want I'm going to look up a car merchandise catalog!" Cyborg blurted out and walked towards his room, Robin and Starfire followed him down the hallway.

Only Raven and Beast Boy remained in the living room, Raven had her head down and was lost in deep thought.

"Raven is something wrong?" Beast Boy asked, sensing something was wrong.

Raven looked up at him, "Don't you think it's suspicious that he gave us this just like that?"

"Well yes sort of, but the guy looked honest enough and it didn't seem like he was working with anyone of our enemies. Besides if he was lying he would have had that nervous tone in his voice and he would have fidgeting, but he was cool throughout the whole conversation he wasn't making everything up." Beast Boy explained

Raven nodded her head, but was still dissatisfied. Looking at her Beast Boy sighed and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Look Raven, for a change we can actually kick back and enjoy ourselves. Don't you want to have fun and not have any worries?" he asked her.

"Believe me Beast Boy I do, it's just that something just doesn't feel right about all of this." She replied dropping her eyes again.

Beast Boy placed a finger on her chin, "Hey come on cheer up, we're heroes who could be stupid enough to try to set up an trap for us? Every single bad guy out there is scared to death of us, trust me nothing is going to happen to us."

Raven felt reassured by his words and a soft smile touched her face, "That's it Raven smile we're about to go on the vacation of a lifetime, and we're going to have a blast and nothing bed is going to happen I promise."

Raven nodded and Beast Boy dropped his hands from her shoulders, "Alright now let's start packing!"

When Beast Boy disappeared down the hallway Raven's smile faded and she looked out into the ocean, "I know I should be excited, it's the first time in what seems like an eternity that I'm actually going to go on a real vacation…yet I feel so nervous and-scared. Something's not right here, but I don't know what."

Four days later the T-car drove up to the city docks and halted in the parking lot. Cyborg stepped out and looked into the black night sky and then at the ship docked in the harbor, he smiled when he saw that it was indeed a very luxurious yacht. The others climbed out of the car carrying their bags.

"Well y'all lets get going!" Cyborg commanded.

The titans proceeded over to the harbor and they were amazed when they saw that it was buzzing with activity. Cars came and went dropping off passengers, while people of many nationalities walked aboard the ship. When the titans approached the ship walkway a burly guard dressed in a business suit stepped in their way.

"Do you have a pass?" He asked.

Robin held up the scroll, the guard nodded in approval and motioned for them to follow him. The guard led them up the walkway and into the ships interior, guiding them down several corridors he stopped in the middle of a hallway of suites and pointed.

"The girls will be staying on the left and the boys on the right." He stated, the guard handed Robin and Raven a key, "Here are the key's to you rooms have a goodnight."

The guard walked off and left the titans to their business, Robin and Raven unlocked their rooms at the same time and all the titans stepped past one another to get into their suites. Robin marveled at how luxurious and furnished the room was, a fireplace was in the corner, there were three king size beds, an enormous bathroom, and there was even a plasma screen TV. The girls room was no different, Raven admired the art that decorated the walls, while Starfire was surprised to discover an entire closet filled with beauty supplies.

"I can already tell I'm going to love it here!" Beast Boy declared as he threw himself on one of the beds.

"Everything seems nice enough." Robin added.

"So what do you say we grab the girls and explore this place before we take off?" Cyborg asked.

The boys nodded and Robin stepped out into the hallway and knocked on the girls door, "Who is it?" Came Raven's voice.

"It's me Robin, do you guys want to go look around?" He asked.

Starfire's voice responded, "Thank you Robin but we're planning on unpacking before anything else our apologies."

Robin shrugged, "Suit yourself."

The male titans strode out of the hallway and began looking around the yacht, they walked into the casino room where hundreds of players played blackjack and pool, another room held a dance floor, while another was a enormous buffet.

"This settles it, this isn't a yacht, it's Las Vegas on the ocean!" Cyborg declared as they walked out to get some fresh air.

Beast Boy spotted a young well dressed man with brown hair and blue sunglasses leaning over the railing staring out into the sea. His mouth dropped open with surprise.

"It can't be!" He said aloud, "Johnny Cage!"

Hearing his name Johnny turned to Beast Boy with a smile on his face, "Guilty." He responded.

"What are you doing here?" Beast Boy asked.

"Probably the same reason you are… I'm not physic you are?" He asked.

Beast Boy straightened up, "I'm Beast Boy."

"Cyborg." Cyborg added.

"Robin." Robin replied last.

"The Teen Titans." Johnny said aloud, "What are a bunch of heroes doing in a place like this?"

"Just taking some time off." Robin stated, "Are you going to competing in the tournament? From what I hear you're a pretty impressive fighter."

Johnny sighed, "A little too impressive, the media thinks that I'm a fake and my movies have stopped selling because of it. A few weeks back I got this invitation to come here, I figure if I win the tournament then maybe I can get the respect I deserve."

"Are there any other action stars on the ship?" Beast Boy asked.

"No I'm the only one, but there are other martial arts masters on the ship." Johnny explained, "But it's good to see I have fans onboard."

The speaker on the deck turned on, "Ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speaking we are about to take off."

"Well that's my signal to go inside." He stated walking towards the cabin door, "I get seasick."

Beast Boy watched as Johnny disappeared amongst the crowd and felt the ship shift forward, "I think it's time to turn in, we don't want to be in fatigue for tomorrow right?"

The others nodded and stepped back inside, Beast Boy shut the glass door behind them and walked into the crowd of people.
