Chapter Four: Happenings

One Week Later (Sunday)

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

Kori, Jennifer, Rachel, Wally, Richard, and Gar all sat around a table at Mario's Pizza Parlor eating pizza. Gar had an entire small, vegan pizza in front of him. The others were splitting a extra-large pepperoni pizza. The table was silent except for the sound of eating and the slurping of soda.

Suddenly Jennifer slapped the table loudly causing the three boys to fall out of their chairs. Jennifer started laughing uncontrollably "It was too quiet." she explained through her laughter.

Wally stared at her "You're weird." he told her climbing back into his seat.

"But you already knew that." Jennifer replied as her laughter died down.

Richard rolled his eyes and got up. Gar followed him. Suddenly his cell phone rang and he yelped jumping a few inches into the air. He glared at the group as they collapsed into laughter. He flipped open the phone "Talk to me." he said in a slightly joking tone. Suddenly his smile fell "No I haven't… Friday… sure thing, Mrs. Smith."

The group's laughter had long since died down. They watched solemnly as Gar sat down and rubbed his forehead. Only Rachel dared to shatter the silence "Who was it?"

Gar sighed and rested his head in his hands "It was Tara's foster mom, Mrs. Smith. She said that Tara hasn't been home all weekend." he looked up "You guys haven't seen her have you?"

The other two boys shook their heads "I saw her in study hall on Friday." Richard offered with a shrug. "But I haven't really been looking."

Kori cleared her throat apprehensively "I know that this is none of my concern but who is Tara?" she asked innocently.

"She is- was my girlfriend," Gar replied "We broke up about two months ago. I think she was dating some older guy for extra cash." he stood up "I'm gonna go home okay?"

The small group watched as Gar left the restaurant. Suddenly Rachel got up and ran after him. Kori kept the others from going after her "Let her talk to him for a moment." she said gently forcing Richard back into his seat "Rachel always knows what to say. She'll be back." the blonde girl assured him.

----------

Gar heard the footfalls behind him. He turned and saw Rachel jogging to catch up to him. He hesitated then waited for her to catch up.

"I kinda wanted to be alone Rachel. No offense or anything…" he trailed off as Rachel put a hand on his shoulder.

"She'll be okay." Rachel said quietly "Just please don't do anything… stupid, I guess." she removed her hand and turned to leave.

"Why do you care? You don't even know her." Gar said "I mean…" he trailed off again realizing he'd just told Rachel he thought she was heartless or something.

The dark haired girl stopped "I know what you meant Garfield… but… if you care about her well-being then so do I."

Gar smiled a little bit "Thanks Rae." he said.

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

Rachel blew on her tea for a moment letting the mug warm her hands. She stared at the brown liquid as if trying to find the answers to her questions.

"Hiya Rae!" Jennifer exclaimed leaning on the counter and propping her face up in her hands "What're you doing?"

Rachel stood and pored out her tea before replying "I was thinking…"

"Ooh risky."

Kori joined them and gave Jennifer a slight thump on the head "Please tell us what is on your mind Rachel?" she asked as Jennifer rubbed her head.

"… I think it's time we cased out next score." Rachel replied putting her mug into the dishwasher.

Jinx clapped her hands in approval "Alright! Let's go!" she exclaimed excitedly.

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

"I don't know Raven," X's voice said over thetelekepathic link"This would call for some serious hacking and-."

"If you can't do it say so computer boy," Jinx snapped "Or at least shut me out so I can concentrate; unless you want the alarms to go off."

Raven sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. She could feel the migraine coming on. She pressed hand to her temple "All clear up by you Starfire?"

"Affirmative Raven," the girl replied "There are seven guards that patrol around the building. I believe that one of your sleeping spells will suffice."

Raven nodded to herself then broke off the telepathic connection. Jinx and Starfire were both connected to her while Red-X was merely able to communicate because Raven let him.

The half demon brought up a pair of X-ray specs and focused on Jinx's almost invisible form downloading computer files.

"Hello Raven," a familiar voice said from behind her. "Awful late for a girl to be out by herself." Beast boy commented stepping out of the shadows.

Raven didn't move from her position even though she could feel the anger coming off the changeling in waves "I can take care of myself." she lowered the specs and turned to face the young man. Her purple eyes narrowed "But perhaps you'd like another demonstration? That's why you came isn't it? To try to find out why my colleagues and I are here?"

Beast Boy glared at her angrily "You're a thief. A villain."

Raven nodded "Yes."

The shape-shifter was obviously using all his control to hold himself back "I wanted you to become a Titan."

Raven laughed at that. It took a moment for her peals of laughter to stop. When they did she spoke in a rather cold and unforgiving voice "I'm a demon Beast Boy. Like it or not that's who I am. Trust me you're better off just thinking of me as a cold and heartless thief." the purple eyes wavered for a moment then hardened with resolve.

Beast Boy seemed taken back. For a second Raven thought he was going to leave but instead he pressed a button on his belt. The middle link began flashing red.

Suddenly Kid Flash (whom Jinx had described) and the infamous Robin were standing beside Beast Boy ready to attack.

"I don't know why you're here," Robin growled pulling out a freeze disk "But we're going to find out."

Suddenly there was a soft giggle from the shadows and Jinx walked out. Her catlike eyes were glowing brightly in the night light. "You boys want to play rough?" her hands glowed as did Raven's "Fine. That's the way we like it." she taunted before sending a blast of pink lightning into their midst.

The three scattered across the rooftop. Robin recovered first "Titans Go!" he yelled throwing the freeze disk at Raven.

The half demon raised her hand and made a fist. The disk was encased in black magic before releasing its contents under Kid Flash's feet. The speedster was in the process of dodging hexes from Jinx. His feet hit the ice and he fell over backwards in a heap. Jinx laughed and cartwheeled out of the way as Robin charged her from behind. The Boy Wonder slammed into Kid Flash sending them both slipping and sliding on the ice and finally falling on their butts in a tangled heap of arms and legs.

Raven was dodging attacks from a furious grizzly bear. Her feet levitated off the ground and her purple eyes taunted the changeling from under the blue hood. Suddenly she sank through the roof leaving a rather confused grizzly bear. Beast Boy morphed back into a human "What the-?" he never finished the sentence.

Raven came back out of the roof and delivered a roundhouse to the changeling's back. He yelped in pain and went down on his knees.

The three Titans all looked up at the two girls. Jinx was staring at them indifferently, her left hand resting on her hip flirtatiously. Raven on the other hand had a strange look in her eyes.

Finally the half demon turned away and the two vanished in a cloud of black magic.

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

Richard parked his motorcycle and pulled off his helmet. There was an abnormally large group of kids clustered around the doors of the school. As he approached he could see the fear in all their eyes.

He finally located Kori in the crowd. He touched her bare arm and she jumped slightly in surprise. "Oh Richard I am so glad you are here! It is awful!"

"What's going on Kori?" the raven-haired teen asked pulling his sunglasses off and taking a moment to adjust to the light.

The blonde girl's green eyes watered for a moment then she brushed them away "Forgive me… Terra… the principal announced that they found her body."

Richard's blue eyes widened "What!" he exclaimed in shock "What do you mean 'found her body?'"

A tiny tear traveled down the girl's cheek "He said that she was found in an alley. She was beaten and bloody and…" the girl trailed off and started crying softly.

Richard put an arm around Kori in a weak attempt at comfort. She pushed him away gently "Go find Gar. I'm sure you're worried about him."

The boy smiled "Thanks Kor." without a second thought he gave the girl a peck on the cheek and ran away into the crown leaving Kori with a hand on her cheek and a smile on her tearful face.

Richard weaved through the crowd looking for the familiar mop of blonde hair. Instead he found Jennifer trying to consul a rather angry looking Wally.

"Guys!" he yelled gaining their attention "Either of you seen Gar?" he asked anxiously. A gnawing feeling was beginning to fill his stomach.

Jennifer and Wally both shook their heads. "No we haven't." Jennifer said "But we'll start looking. Com'on Wally." the two took off.

Richard sighed and continued his search; asking everyone he passed if they'd seen the boy. Finally he got an answer. Sam and Max (Mas and Menos) had seen him over in the bleachers.

Richard bolted for the bleachers with a speed that would put Kid Flash to shame. Something in his gut told him it was very dangerous for Gar to be alone if he had already heard the news. The reason? Mike Adonis. Knowing him, he'd take advantage of Gar's emotional state and offer him some drugs. He rounded a corner and froze.

There was Gar slumped on the floor against a wall. Rachel was beside him half way into a standing position with her dark blue eyes blazing with anger and hatred. The object of her glare was standing over the two teenagers with a sneer. Adonis was holding up a plastic baggie filled with white pills.

"Come on Gar," he taunted "You know it will make everything disappear. I'll give you the whole bag free."

Gar looked up and Richard could see the tears filling the emerald green orbs. He was biting his lip, the inner conflict was obvious. "I…" his voice cracked.

Suddenly Rachel was up and her thumb was pressing harshly under Adonis's earlobe. He howled in pain and dropped the baggie in an attempt to get away. Rachel's other hand grabbed him around the throat, forcing him to stop struggling. "Leave Garfield alone," she said in a dark voice "Nobody messes with my friends. Understand?"

Adonis nodded and Rachel released him from her death grip. He gasped for air and reached for the baggie. Rachel's combat boot slammed on his hand "Leave, now."

He gulped loudly and scrambled to his feet and ran down the empty hall glancing over his shoulder a couple times in fear.

Rachel knelt by Gar and ran her hand up and down his arm murmuring comforting words. The green eyed boy looked up at her then leaned forward resting his head on her shoulder.

Richard could see the evident surprise on Rachel's normally placid face. Then it gave way to a small smile. She wrapped her arms around Gar's shoulder as he cried.

Richard slipped away unnoticed.

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

The room was dark. The only light came from a skylight. It illuminated a blonde haired girl with her head bowed and her hands clasped in front of her. Her hair fell over her face.

Then a man appeared in the light. He had snow white hair and a beard. A black eye patch covered his right eye. He circled the girl carefully.

"Everyone believes you're dead." he commented quietly watching for the girl's reaction.

"All according to plan, Master." was all she said never lifting her head.

The man smiled in approval "Come Terra. We have much to do." he turned on his heel and disappeared into the darkness.

The girl lifted her head and a golden light spilled from her eyes "Yes Master."
