Chapter Five: Gia

--------

"You guys feel that tremor earlier today?" Kid Flash asked leaning against a chimney " I 'Bout jumped to the moon, scared me so bad."

Robin nodded "It's funny," he said threading a wire up a pipe "The nearest fault-line is like… a hundred miles away from here. But Sacramento didn't feel a thing."

Beast Boy nodded in agreement "Ya the horses 'bout all ran straight through the fence. Classy went over it and I had to catch him. Neighbors weren't too happy."

Robin clicked a few keys on his laptop computer and smiled "Won't see this on cable." he said leaning over the machine.

The other two boys peered over his shoulder. Robin carefully manipulated the museum's security cameras into different position so there were no blind spots. Then he handed Kid Flash a pouch filled with motion detectors "Go put these on the roof. I already marked out where they need to go. Anyone goes up there we'll know in a millisecond."

The red head saluted and was off, only a yellow and red streak revealing his position and only because he let it happen.

Beast Boy crouched down at the edge of the roof and pulled a photo from his pocket. Tara's smiling face stared back at him. He turned as he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey…are you doing okay?" Robin asked "I mean… I saw you and Adonis the other day… you haven't…"

"No," he turned away and looked down at the street "I wish I knew what happened to her… Tara was a good kid. She'd never let anything like this happen to her."

Robin bit his lip "Maybe she was just at the wrong place at the wrong time."

"Maybe." Beast Boy replied letting the photo float away on the wind.

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

Jinx flipped over the low rooftop wall and dropped onto the cement. She stood took a running start before jumping over to the next building. She halted and crouched down beside an AC unit peering into the darkness "They're on the roof across from the museum." she said through her telepathic link.

Raven's voice floated through her head, "Alright, they've probably added some of their own security so be very careful alright?"

Jinx smiled "Gotcha, Here we go!" she jumped from the roof and headed towards her target.

Robin leaned against the low wall surrounding the rooftop. Beside him Beast Boy watched the cameras and Kid Flash watched the nearby rooftops. So far nothing on the radar.

"Maybe they're not coming." Beast Boy said.

"They're coming." Robin insisted.

The changeling shrugged and returned his attention to the monitor. Robin sighed and rested his head on the wall.

Suddenly Kid Flash's bored face became one of undivided attention. He cocked his head slightly and looked at the ground. Beast Boy seemed to be on the alert too.

"What's wrong guys?" Robin asked turning around to face his teammates who looked pale.

"I don't know but I felt… something."

Then Robin's communicator rang causing all three of the boys to jump. The masked Boy Wonder pulled out the deceive and opened it.

Amy's face appeared on screen. She looked scared. "Guys! There's some kind of earthquake going on downtown. We need your help."

"We're on our way." Robin replied already gathering up some of the equipment.

"Hurry!" Amy pleaded before hanging up.

"Titans Go!"

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

Jinx frowned and quickly leapt into one of the air ducts. Robin ran past then was gone. She could hear the unnatural wind Kid Flash was making and Beast Boy flapping his wings.

The pink haired witch pulled herself out of the duct and looked after the three heroes "Where are they going in such a hurry?" she wondered aloud.

Shrugging she returned her attention to the museum. There were motion detectors placed at strategic points and the cameras had been moved. No blind spots. Jinx smiled.

She lifted her hand and several pink hexes flew from her fingertips. Each one hit a motion detector. The little red devices all smoked telling her that they were disabled "Are the cameras disabled?" she asked pointing the question at X who was linked up once more.

"Yes. And your friends should appear in three… two… one…"

Raven and Starfire flew into view. They both wore smiles. Starfire spoke first. "I have forgotten how enjoyable it is to knock out guards."

Raven rolled her eyes "Come on. The Titanic Wonders are all busy so let's take advantage of it." she crouched by the door and quickly molded her powers into the shape of the key.

Then the unexpected happened. The whole building started shaking! Raven and Jinx fell over while Starfire floated a few inches above the roof.

Raven sat up, her hood falling back behind her shoulders "What the heck was that?" she said furiously. Her purple eyes combed the rooftop.

But the danger was not up there. It was below. A scream brought the three's attention down to the street.

Boulders were floating in the air surrounded by a golden glow. The source of the floating rocks was a blonde girl dressed in blue and silver armor.

The three Titans were all down there as well. Robin was holding two birdarangs while Kid Flash was standing ready to bolt in a seconds notice. Beast Boy had morphed into a wolf.

"What's the matter boys?" the girl asked raising her arms "You afraid to rumble?" she slammed her hands down.

The street heaved upwards. The three boys were thrown into the air along with several screaming civilians.

"Kid Flash!" Robin yelled struggling to get his footing on the heaving road "Get those people out of here!"

The speedster was a bit preoccupied however. The bucking street made it impossible to use super speed. He was having trouble just standing up.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" a voice yelled. Black tentacles of power flew out and enveloped the dozen or so people. They disappeared with a loud crack. "Jinx go!"

Then pink hexes flew out and destroyed the floating boulders. Then a rather powerful one sent the blonde girl flying down the street.

Next a girl with glowing green eyes flew down towards the street. She pressed down on the asphalt. Her arms trembled with effort. Suddenly she gave a cry and the street stopped bucking.

The three Titans all looked at the three girls. Raven wrapped her cloak around herself tightly (like she does in the comics) and used her powers to bring her hood up. Jinx was supporting a panting Starfire. The former was about ready to pass out from sheer exhaustion. Her sides heaved and her breath came in short little pants.

Robin was staring at her. He'd expected her to be violent. In his mind he'd constructed a picture of the green eyed girl. She was nothing like he'd expected.

"FREEZE! JCPD!" a voice yelled from an alley behind the three girls. A young police officer stepped out of the alley pointing his gun "Don't make any sudden movements."

Raven's eyes glowed white "Sleep." she ordered in a deep sultry voice. She snapped her fingers and the man's eyes closed and he began snoring.

Robin's masked eyes narrowed "Why'd you help us?" he demanded after assuring himself the man was only asleep.

Starfire answered even though she was about ready to pass out "We may be thieves Robin, but we are not without compassion. Please remember that."

Robin leapt at the group as they became shrouded in the black mist. They were gone before he was halfway there. He rolled on the ground then was on his feet in a moment.

"Well… at least they didn't get anything." Kid Flash said. Robin glared. "Shutting up now."

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

Kori was absent the next day. When questioned about their friend Rachel and Jennifer said it was 'womanly things' The boys didn't quiz them any further.

Gar seemed withdrawn all day. There were no jokes or wild stories at lunch. He just picked at his food and listened to the conversation without a word.

Rachel also seemed a little off. She was in a rather sour mood for some reason and the only person who would dare try to bring her out of it wasn't going to anytime soon.

Later after school as the five of them, plus Victor, sat in the library working on homework Beatrice (Bea) Johnson came in and posted a flyer on the bulletin board. She smiled and waved at the group "Hey guys," she finished stapling the bright orange flyer "Are you gonna come to the Halloween party next month?"

Victor nodded "If you're on the committee Bea. You always do the coolest decorations." he complimented with a smile causing the girl to get a reddish hue to her dark brown skin.

Wally made a gagging noise while pointing down his throat. Jennifer whacked him in the back of the head, her eyes never leaving her Algebra homework.

"I'm pretty sure the whole school will be coming." Richard said while the two started a shoving match "We have to wear costumes right?"

"Duh," Bea said "It's a Halloween party! Of course you have to wear costumes! No costume no entry or candy."

Suddenly Jennifer and Wally's shoving match shoved Rachel and Gar off the table. The two landed on the floor in a rather… awkward position.

Rachel scrambled to her feet a reddish hue covering her face. She sat back down and stared at her book trying desperately to force the blood from her face.

Gar kinda lay there for about thirty seconds. Then he got up and started gathering up his things "I'm going home." he mumbled heading for the door.

The others watched him go quietly.

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

Gar threw the hay bale over the fence then slid through the wires and cut it open with his pocket knife. Seven horses galloped over biting and nipping each other to get at the food first. Gar laughed and shoved them all away then began tossing the dried grass around the pasture. Then he trooped back to the barn to douse his head with water.

He turned on the water spigot and stuck his head under it. The water was freezing! He yelped and pulled away. Droplets soaked his shirt and went down his back. He shook his head sending spray all over the nearby wall.

"Having fun?"

Gar looked up in surprise. Rachel stood the doorway of the barn. She was wearing jeans and her frownie face shirt. One eyebrow was raised.

He smiled sheepishly "The water's cold… what're you doing here?" he asked drying off his hair with his hands.

"I wanted to ask you…" Rachel paused and looked at her shoes for a moment "Actually there were two things I wanted to ask you… are you okay? You seemed rather quiet today."

Gar shrugged and moved further into the barn with Rachel following "I'm better. I take that back I'm a lot better. I just… I dunno."

Rachel nodded in understanding. "I know what you mean… I lost my mother when I was young… it takes time." she sighed.

Gar lifted himself up onto a hitching post and patted the spot beside him. Rachel scrambled up rather awkwardly. "You said two things." Gar pointed out after a moment of silence.

"I did." Rachel agreed looking at her hands. Was she blushing? "I was hoping… that maybe you'd like to… go to the Halloween dance with me."

Gar grinned "Sure Rachel. I'd love to… hey you wanna go meet the herd?"

"Sure."

The two hopped off the hitching rail and made their way over to the pasture.
