Yea! You guys gave me more reviews! So here's the chappie!
Eleven: On the Offensive
"So, have you figured out what your dream was about?" said Mari as she and Jessie sat at the counter that morning.
"No," he said, sadly. "And because it was so intense, I'm pretty sure it's important."
Just then, Pete walked in, accompanied by Anna. Jessie smiled whilst Mari simply gave a blank stare as they sat beside them. "What have you two been doing all night?"
"Nothing!" said Pete, immediately. "Just – talking…"
"Pete?" said Jess. "Are you… blushing? Ha!" He would have laughed a lot longer, if Pete had not given him an atomic wedgie. "Ow…"
"Well," said Anna, "what are you two up to?"
"We're trying to figure out Jessie's dream," said Mari.
"Lil' blue dude had another one?" said Pete.
"Yes," said Jessie, taking the underwear off of his head. "But I can't remember it."
"But," said Anna, "aren't dreams meaningless?"
"Not to me. What ever I dream comes true. See, my dreams aren't dreams at all, but more like… visions…"
"Is that why you said I was in your dreams?"
"Yeah. I saw you just minutes before."
"Freaky…"
"And I know this one's important, I just can't focus…"
He put his eyes on his knuckles and his elbows on the counter. Mari put her hand on his shoulder. He looked up and gave a small smile.
Suddenly, something clicked.
"It was a symbol," he said, automatically.
"A symbol?" said Mari.
"Yeah…" His eyes lingered on the boxes they had brought with them. "There! It's in that box!" He quickly walked over to one of the four boxes and lifted the lid. He reached in and picked up a small, round, flat object. He blew off the dust and brought it over to the other three. "This is it; the symbol I saw."
Mari took it. "It looks like an… 'S'."
"An 'S'?" said Anna, taking it. "Let me see." She looked at it as Mari scowled. "This is Slade's symbol!" She held it up. It was a flat, round disk that was a dim orange with a black S in front.
"Slade…" said Pete. "Didn't you mention him yesterday?"
"Yeah. Bad guy… way bad. He was the number one bad guy for the Titans. He was our parents' arch foe… well, your parents, anyway. My mom used to work for him for a little bit…"
"Your mom used to work for him?" said Mari.
"Yeah. Before she turned."
"Then do you know where he is?" asked Jessie.
"Well, it's hard to say… he moves around a lot. Wait… yeah… I know where he is!"
"Then what are we waiten for?" said Pete. "Let's go!"
Then, Anna, Jessie, and Pete headed for the door, but stopped when they realized Mari was not among them. She stood up and walked over to them. Then, she looked Anna square in the eye and said: "I still don't trust you." Then she walked down the hallway, and soon the others followed.
BLAM!
The door on the warehouse of pier 41 blasted open and the four teens entered into what seemed to be an empty room.
"You had better be right about this," said Nightstar.
"Don't sweat it," said Hex, "I know he's here. He has to be!"
Nightstar looked around. "Birdboy, get a good look; see if anybody's hiding."
"Right"
With that, Birdboy turned into a hawk and flew up into the air. He gave a fair sweep of the room, then landed in human form.
"This entire place is empty," he said.
Nightstar gave a look to Hex whose mood drooped immediately.
"But… my mom said…"
"Come on," said Nightstar, "let's go."
Then she, followed by Birdboy, were about to leave, with Hex trudging behind them, when the three of them herd a loud noise. They turned around to see Drone lifting up a bit of the floor.
"Drone," said Nightstar, "what are you doing?"
"Just double checking," he said as he threw the peace of concrete aside and jumped in, followed by a hopeful Hex, then a curios Birdboy. Nightstar merely crossed he arms, but decided to down eventually.
She lit up a starbolt that lighted the long sewer pathway and looked around.
"Why dose it always have to be sewers?" complained Drone.
Then, Birdboy's sensitive ears picked something up on his right.
"Come on! I heard something." Then he led the way down a tunnel and into what seemed to be an old factory. The four of them hid behind a stack of boxes and watched as several robots were going about their business.
"Ok," said Nightstar, "on my signal we – attack?"
"Yaaaaa!" yelled Drone as he ran out and began punching right and left. He was soon followed by Hex, who was sending purple slashes of energy into the crowd of robots.
"Uhh…" began Birdboy.
"Just go," said Nightstar.
Soon all four of them were in the action.
Birdboy took off into the action, and in one swift move, turned into an eagle and tore out some wires right from the chest of a robot. Then, turning into a parrot, he used his sharp beak to snap a wire on a robot's neck, causing it to shut down completely, after which he turned back into human form. Suddenly, he was nearly hit but a surge of electricity.
"Watch it, blueberry!" said Drone. "I can't save your butt all the time!"
Birdboy looked behind him and saw a robot with a huge hole in his chest fall to the ground. He smiled.
On the other side of the room, Nightstar was blasting robots this way and that, when all of a sudden, a streak of purple light whizzed past her and blew up two robots right behind her.
"Trust me yet?" said Hex, eyes aglow.
"You're getting there!" said Star as she flew into a crowd of robots, making them fly like bowling pins.
The fight raged on, and soon, the robots were down and the battle was won.
"So now where, Hex?" asked Birdboy. But, as he spoke, Nightstar saw something move behind him. It was a dark figure. Then, she saw something in its hand. It moved towards him…
"Birdboy, look out!" she shouted as she pushed him out of the way. Soon, a hundred volts of electricity passed through her body. "Agggghhhhh!" she screamed and then fell limp into a robot's arms, unconscious.
"NIGHTSTAR!" Birdboy yelled as he got to his feet and charged at the robot. "Let her – (gasp)!" He froze as he saw hundreds of thousands of robots coming into view.
"Ok," said Hex, "plan B – RUN!"
They took off down the sewer and ran for their lives. Then, Birdboy stopped.
"Wait! We have to save Nightstar! We can't just run!"
He turned and saw a swarm of robot ninjas coming at him.
"Kid," said Hex, grabbing his arm, "I don't think you have a choice in the matter!"
They continued running, until, as luck would have it, they ran into a dead end.
"Hang on!" shouted Hex, grabbing the boys' arms. Then, in a flash of light, they vanished.
