We do not own the Teen Titans, though Grease and I do own Night Hawk, Angel, and Sierra.
Chapter: 3
Part 1:
The large room felt like ice, everything seemed cold and dead. A mist floated along the metal flooring of the old lair. But two sets of shoes made their way through it.
Night Hawk, the girl with the shoulder length reddish brown hair. Lighter brown, almost blonde high lights would have shown if it had not been so dark in here. Her brown eyes darted around, taking in every aspect of the room. She would have thought this place would be more heavily guarded. But the few guards at the entrance where nothing compared to her power and her companions. Night Hawk wore a brown tight belly shirt with white chested patches starting from her shoulders. A matching short skirt, and black tights covering her stomach and legs. On her arms where long black fingerless gloves. She brushed a strand of lose hair from her black lined eyes that made them look sharper, before turning to her companion. "Are you sure this is the right place?" She hissed coldly.
The second girl stepped up to Night Hawk, looking around the room with a glare on her face. Her hair was dark red and short and layered, starting at her cheek bone and stopping at her shoulders. Her icy blue eyes shot Nighthawk an annoyed glance. "Of course I'm sure," her voice sounded both annoyed and cocky. Sierra wore a short white skirt, coming down to about the middle of her thighs. She wore black fishnet tights and white, knee-high boots. Her shirt was pretty simple, a white halter top with three snowflakes on the front. Her skin was pale, almost as though she didn't get in the sun enough. The most peculiar thing about her were the pitch black feathered wings on her back. Sierra kept walking, slowly though, glancing around as she went.
"Yeah well, I don't see anything." Night Hawk hissed as she crossed her arms and leaned on something. "What the heck am I-" She looked up and squeaked a scream when she saw what she had been leaning on. A frozen statue of a villainess. Her surprised look turned into a cocky smirk as she glanced at Sierra. "Bingo."
Sierra wheeled around, holding a hand up as though ready for a fight. She lowered her hand as she stared up and smirked. "Told ya," she said, still with that cocky tone.
"Don't push it feather brain," Night Hawk rolled her eyes. "Lets just get to work."
Sierra glared at Night Hawk before starting toward her. "This would have been so much easier if Angel had come. She could have just melted the thing."
"And your point?" Night Hawk raised an eye brow, and re-crossed her arms.
Sierra stood up straighter and scowled. "Do you HAVE to be so difficult?" she asked.
"Do you have to ask stupid questions? Now let's get this over with." Night Hawk scowled.
Terra stayed back in the training room, watching the others get ready to leave. She was just waiting for Beast Boy. They had been training for about an hour, hour and a half maybe and now it had ended.
Beast Boy was bringing up the rear, as usual. He grinned and waved at Terra, "Happy trainings." He joked. It was a harder session for him, because he was out of the Doom Patrol's fighting styles habit. But he wondered if it had been harder for Terra, since she had never done them.
"Happy? Gee, if you ever have too much energy, train with these guys, that'll sure wear you out," Terra joked along. It was a different way of fighting and it had been hard. She lived though. Barely, but she lived nonetheless.
Beast Boy laughed, "I will never blame Robin for over working us as long as I remember these sessions." He joked. "... nah I take that back." He laughed again.
Terra laughed. "Yeah, we can't give up nagging and bugging Robin! That's like… a quarter of the reason we live!" Okay, she didn't enjoy bothering Robin THAT much… but it was still fun.
Beast Boy laughed again. "How right you are."
"Ten O' clock! time to be getting ready for bed," Mento's voice called.
Beast Boy moaned. He had been able to do some talking with his old teammates before training, a little catching up. But he wanted to talk more or something, anything but bed!... well... almost anything.
Terra stared in the direction of Mento's voice. "Man, he's strict," Terra pointed out the obvious. "Bed at ten…" she heaved a sigh. Even Robin didn't make them go to bed at ten.
"Up at six." Beast Boy hummed.
Terra's mouth immediately dropped and her eyes grew huge. "What?" she yelped. "Six? Are you kidding me?"
"Nope." Beast Boy had to bite back his laughter at her reaction. "Unless you want extra training." He mused.
Terra moaned. "Tell me you're joking," she whined. "Six? That's like… before the SUN gets up!" her complaint continued.
"Sorry Ter," Beast Boy shook his head in mock sympethly.
"Beast Boy, Terra." Mento warned. "Get ready for bed."
"Yes Sir," Beast Boy half moaned. "I got dibs on the closest bath room. Have fun finding the other." Beast Boy laughed then bolted for the stairs.
"No running in the house!"
Beast Boy slowed to a fast walk.
"Aww, what? Beast Boy, c'mon, that's not fair!" Terra called after him before starting off at a fast walk. She didn't want to get on Mento's bad side. She hadn't yet and she intended to keep it that way.
"Give me fifteen minutes then!" Beast Boy laughed as he grabbed his back from his room then bolted to the bath room.
Terra shot him a mock glare. "Fine, bathroom hog," she joked. "Lucky for me, you're not as bad as Robin." She laughed a little. Robin COULD take a long time sometimes, doing his hair usually.
"I could extend it to twenty minutes!" Beast Boy teased before changing into his night clothes and then pulling his tooth brush out of the little pocket on the front.
Terra, who was leaning against the wall across from the bathroom, made a face at the door. Well, it was directed at Beast Boy, but he couldn't see her.
"Ooh no! I am stuck in slow motion!" Beast Boy yelled from the bath room as he finished brushing his fangs. He hit his tooth brush on the sink a few times to get the water off, though slowly just to be mean to his blonde, waiting friend.
"Beast Boy!" Terra whined in an annoying voice. "Hurry up!" she ordered. "I have to get up in eight hours, that's one to three less hours of sleep then usual!" Okay, maybe that was slightly exaggerated.
"I'm trying, but, slow, motion, too strong!" He put the tooth brush to the side of the white sink then just messed his hair for no real reason. He held his bag with one hand and slowly opened the bath room door with his other. "Still... too... strong..." He spoke slowly, teasing was fun.
Terra gave the slowly opening door an annoyed look before stepping forward and grabbing the handle, wrenching it open, just for fun.
Beast Boy stumbled, "Hey!" He laughed.
Terra grinned innocently, almost flirtatiously. "What?" she asked in a too sweet voice.
Beast Boy cocked his eye brow. "You sound too nice, it's an alien tone for you, and it scares me." He joked.
The blonde teen laughed yet again. "Yeah, I figured it would." Terra sighed. "You know what? I totally forgot my stuff… kinda hard to get ready for bed without your stuff…" she laughed quietly at herself.
Beast Boy laughed at Terra then shook his head. "I can go get it for you."
"You don't have to," Terra said, smiling.
"I know that, but I'm going too." Beast Boy smiled then started down the hall once more. His room door was open so he swung his bag in there, then wheeled around and snatched Terra's bag from her room. He didn't know why he acted so... nice around her. More nice then usual, but he guessed it was from their relationship. It was weird what a girl could do to you.
"Got it!" He stopped to Terra's side and handed her the bag with a large grin. Almost as if he was proud of taking extra time to help.
Terra sighed and shook her head as though mad at him. One look at his face though made her smile. "I think it's impossible for me to stay mad you," she told him, shaking her head once more.
"Aww, you were gonna be mad because I helped? Well see if I do THAT again!" He joked. If Terra asked him to help, he would. "I need to get to bed, before I get in trouble on my first day back." He laughed to himself. "Night Terra."
Terra laughed softly at Beast Boy again. She smiled. "Good night, Beast Boy," she said.
Beast Boy grinned one last time before turning around and going down the stairs half way. "Night guys!" He called before jogging back up the stairs then in his room where he threw himself on his black blanket covered bed. Comfy, He didn't even bother covering up and just fell asleep on top of it all and his arms wrapped around a pillow.
Terra stepped into the bathroom and quickly got ready. She put her pajamas on, brushed her hair and teeth, and washed her face. When she was done, she left the bathroom and carried her bag back to the spare bedroom. Terra set it down at the foot of her bed before jumping up on it, letting the bed bounce her up and down a few times. She smiled before felling back on the bed and kicking her feet under the blankets. She sighed and snuggled into her pillow before falling asleep.
"Beast Boy for the last time, get up!" Mento yelled through the bed room door for the fourth time this morning.
"Too early!" Beast Boy's voice protested.
"Its fifteen minutes past! Up, Now!" Mento yelled again.
"Fifteen more minutes..." Beast Boy's groggy voice came.
"I'm not standing here all morning!"
"Go away then."
"Garfield I mean it, get out of bed NOW!" Mento was losing patience.
Beast Boy moaned from inside. When the real name was used, that was when it was time to throw out the white flag. "Okay! Fine! I'm coming!" He whined. Mento nodded and walked back down stairs to get breakfast.
Beast Boy muttered as he pulled on his uniform and then his shoes, gloves, and belt. He supposed he would get Terra up if she was still (and no doubt) sleeping. He left his room while doing his hair, just running his fingers through it till he figured it stuck up enough. By then he had come to Terra's door, and knocked a few times. "Ter! Terra! Wakey wakey!" He called.
The sleeping blonde and been having a good dream, but at the sound of knocking it ended. She moaned quietly and rolled over. "I don't want any cookies… go away… stupid girl scouts…" Terra yawned and tried going back to sleep.
Beast Boy snickered and knocked again. "Terra!" When it didn't work the second time he opened her door a crack and peered in. "Terra?"... Okay still no response. "K, time for plan B," Beast Boy morphed into a puppy and ran over, tugging on her blankets with his teeth and barking every now and then.
Terra whined into her pillow. "Go away… too early…" She made a pathetic swat at the air, letting her arm fall over the side of the bed.
Beast Boy whimpered loudly before batting at Terra's hand with his paw, then licking it and barking more.
Terra whined again and yawned. "Beast Boy…" she half mumbled half whined. "What do you want?" It was too early. She wanted sleep.
Beast Boy barked again, but this wasn't getting him anywhere. He resumed human form and crossed his arms. "Terra!" He yelled.
"AH!" Terra yelped, bolting up straight. "What?" she yelled back, turning to look at Beast Boy. She let out a breath as she remembered… "Six already?" she asked.
"Past actually." Beast Boy smiled. "Well c'mon! Up, up, up!" He laughed before walking out of the room to give her some privacy. "I'm getting breakfast! Hurry up!"
Terra groaned as she lazily got up. She threw the blanket off herself and slipped off the bed. As she changed into her usual uniform, she yawned. It took her a minute to find her boots and gloves and belt, but she found them all. She left her room and started down the hall again, hoping she wouldn't get lost. She made it to the kitchen okay though.
Beast Boy was already sitting at the table, a plate of tofu and toast in front of him. Mento had the news paper held up against his face, and Robot Man wasn't around.
"Hi Ter," Beast Boy waved his fork in the air as he greeted her.
"Hey Beast Boy," Terra waved back, lazily though.
"Are you hungry?" Elasta Girl asked, motioning towards the table full of food.
"Yeah," Terra nodded, coming over and taking a seat next to Beast Boy.
"Well, just take what you want and dig in," Elasta Girl smiled.
"Thanks," Terra said, beginning to pile her plate up.
Beast Boy stuffed another forkful of tofu bacon down his throat before speaking again. "So, has everything been this quiet?"
"Yes," Mento muttered from behind the wall of news paper. Seemingly aggravated at the fact.
"It's been pretty quiet for some time," Elasta Girl added in.
"Something's bound to happen soon," Negative Man said. "It's been too quiet."
"It's been pretty quiet in Jump too..." Beast Boy started wondering. That was, unusual. The last few weeks had been chaos, but that was from each other and Terra's family issues. The last major problem they had was with Slade, but he had left without a trace. "Weird," He shrugged and scooped more eggs into his mouth.
"Oh well, a break from all the mayhem is nice every now and then," Elasta Girl put in.
"Break?" Terra smiled. "We haven't had a break; the last few weeks have been kinda…" she glanced at Beast Boy. "Crazy."
"Between getting zapped in books and walking for days." Beast Boy muttered to himself. Last few weeks had been anything but a break. Heck, he considered this a break. "I'm done." Beast Boy announced as he finished the last of his toast.
Terra quickly finished up her breakfast, getting every last little bit of food she'd placed on her plate. She didn't like wasting food. "Me too," she said.
Beast Boy was going to ask Mento a question, but he looked too caught up in muttering the morning's news so he turned to Elasta Girl instead. "So, anything new today?" He questioned.
Elasta Girl looked over at Beast boy from the kitchen sink after putting her dishes in the dish washer. "Well, we have weekly cleaning today," she said. "We all know how much you love to clean."
Beast Boy shrunk in his seat, moaning.
"That reminds me, I have to uh- ... help Cliff with the er- ship that needed... repairing..." Mento added as quickly as he could.
Robot Man came in time to hear his name, "but the ship doesn't-"
"Yes it does, besides, I'm sure Rita doesn't want us in her way when she's cleaning." Mento hinted.
"Oohhh- yeah! The ship. Uh hu, needs work." Robot Man nodded.
Elasta Girl gave the two a stern look. "Come on, guys, it's just cleaning, it won't kill you," she promised.
"Yeah but if that ship crashed it would." Mento peered over the top of his news paper.
"With him on that. Bye." Robot Man turned around and left through the door that opened on the Kitchens left wall.
"I should uh- go... join him!" Mento quickly got up and walked after Robot Man.
Beast Boy sat up in his seat and peered over the back of his chair. "Dude! That is so not fair!"
"Those two need supervision," Negative Man stepped up. "They could end up killing each other around tools and stuff… I'm gonna go make sure that doesn't happen." He quickly left the room to go help Mento and Robot Man.
"Oh, come on, you guys," Rita stared after them, sighing with annoyance.
"HEY!" Beast Boy whined. If those three got out of it... maybe there was a slim chance he could? "Maybe I can go help- you know this stuff could be useful to know someday." He tried as he stood up.
"Sit," Elasta Girl told him. "You know, housework is as just as useful." She started pulling cleaning products out of cupboards and cabinets.
"Nice try, Beast Boy," Terra laughed.
"But not nearly as fun as goofing off in the garage." Beast Boy muttered as he sat back down, though slouching.
"Well, I need SOME help cleaning this house," Elasta Girl said, tossing over a feather duster. "And you two are here, so," she threw a bottle of Windex and some paper towels to Terra.
Beast Boy caught the feather duster and sighed. "Yes ma'am," he muttered. "Where do I start?"
"Anywhere you want, dust away," Elasta Girl headed out of the room with the other things she needed for cleaning.
"How fun…" Terra said, staring at the Windex.
"See me jump for joy." Beast Boy joked, though in near monotone. He stood back up and took his plate to the sink before looking around the kitchen. The corners needed some work, he supposed he would work on those. With a little power-up. Beast Boy stuck the feather duster in his mouth and morphed into a giraffe, though smaller then most. Too tall and he would only hit his head on the ceiling.
Terra laughed. "Nice Beast Boy," she grinned, going over to the kitchen window. She guessed she'd just follow Beast Boy and clean any glass in whatever room he went.
Beast Boy shifted his head from side-to-side as he dusted the small cobwebs and dust from the corners and edges. Most falling down on top of Terra as he moved around the room.
Terra shook her head as she finished up the window. "Watch it," she more laughed then snapped, bringing her arm up to shield her face.
Beast Boy shrunk in size rapidly as he changes back into his green human self. "Sorry," He laughed before looking around the corners and edges, "That was fast, maybe we can get this over with faster then I thought!"
"Probably," Terra agreed. "Where to next?" She stood up straight and brought a hand to her head like a soldier salute.
Beast Boy laughed, "Living room and- MARCH SOILDER!" He pointed to the opening as if a commander.
Terra tried not to laugh as she marched into the living room. There were more window here and glass stuff she could clean. Goody for her. She started her job at the closest window.
Beast Boy morphed back into the giraffe form with the feather duster in hand-or er- mouth. The ceiling was a little higher in this room, but it was the main room. He started near the stair case, dusting it off before moving along the walls.
Terra finished up the windows and cleaned the TV screen off. This wasn't so bad after all. Quick and easy cleaning, her favorite kind. Well… she preferred no cleaning at all but, oh well.
Beast Boy on the other hand was sneezing and shaking his head around from the dust filling his nose. He hated dusting, heck he hated cleaning. He preferred training over it; at least it was some fun. And since the other guys ran out, he probably had more cleaning to do. Though he hoped to himself Elasta Girl would just save some of the work for the others, he would get a laugh out of that.
"Done here," Terra announced, looking up at the giraffe.
Elasta Girl came into the room with a box. "Beast Boy, look what I found," she said, holding up one of the many picture packets in the box. "Old pictures," she smiled.
Beast Boy looked over, resuming human form though looked far from excited. He took the feather duster from his mouth and let it hang in his hand. "Old pictures...?" He trailed, hoping this wasn't what he thought.
"Old pictures?" Terra repeated, though sounding more excited about it then Beast Boy. "Of what?"
"The Doom Patrol and vacations and stuff," Elasta Girl smiled again. "Here, you can go ahead and look through them if you want." She set the box down and Terra looked over at Beast Boy, grinning.
Beast Boy took a few stiff steps towards the box, he peered in slowly, as if something was going to pop up and snap his nose off. "I dunno if it's safe," he half joked.
"Aw c'mon," Terra said, walking over. "They're just old pictures, they can't hurt." She reached in the box and pulled a small album out, starting to flip through it.
"You wouldn't be saying that if they where pictures of you." Beast Boy snorted as he looked over at the album Terra was going through.
"I haven't see any-" Terra cut herself off as she flipped the page to see a picture of a small boy with green hair, eyes, and skin, and pointy ears. "Uh… heh… never mind," Terra grinned at Beast Boy.
Beast Boy looked at the picture and let a moan escape. He was a lot younger, eight maybe. And was it him or were his ears bigger then? He looked dorky in a weird cute way. "Skip that page!" He almost pleaded.
"Awww, look at you, you're so cute," Terra joked (kind of), shoving the picture in his face as if taunting him. She DID think it was cute picture though.
Beast Boy had a flat face as he pushed the picture away. "Yeah- ha-ha." He whined in his new found monotone voice. He flipped the page, though regretted it at another picture of himself. "Rita! How many pictures of me you got in here anyways!" He whined.
Elasta Girl smiled as she called back. "A lot," she said. "All from when you came here to when you left."
Terra continued flipping through the small album, finding more pictures of Beast Boy. "Aww, look another one!" she said, pointing to about the seventh one she'd seen so far.
"I am starting to think cameras should be banned!" Beast Boy whined. He looked at the picture Terra was looking at and whined more. He reached over and turned the page, the next one held a photo of Beast Boy, maybe nine, it was hard to tell. He was sleeping on the couch, half hanging off in front of the TV. He had shaggier hair then, the messy spikes covered most of his face. "Is there a single page without ME on it?" Beast Boy demanded next.
"Awww," Terra continued teasing, as she looked at the picture. She turned the page again. "Hey look, no picture of you," she turned it once more. "There's one!" she pointed to it, laughing at how many pictures there were of him.
"Darn it," Beast Boy hissed. "This is the downside of being the only kid in the house. All the pictures are of you!" He pointed to a try-to picture of Mento, it was him peering over the top of a newspaper looking- ticked at the camera. "Because the adults don't ever pose." He laughed.
"So that's why we don't have any pictures of Raven in the house…" Terra joked. Okay, they did, but not many. "Aww, look at this one!" the blonde titan shoved the photo album in his face again. "How cute."
"Dude are you kidding? Last time I took a picture of her I had to buy a new camera!" Beast Boy laughed before getting the album shoved in his face again. "I think Robot Man took this one..." In this picture, little Beast Boy was waving from inside the dryer, obviously figuring out what it would be like to ride in it.
Terra laughed at Beast Boy's comment and the picture again. "They didn't really turn it on, did they?" she asked. She didn't wait for an answer before flipping the page to continue looking.
"Robot Man did, it was on air dry though. That was fun." Beast Boy laughed. He looked at the next page, okay, why where most of these of him honestly? Couldn't they find someone else to take a picture of? On this page was the grand show of Beast Boy trying to ride a bike. First few he seemed to be getting the hang of it, next photo over though showed Mento on the ground with a bike on him and Beast Boy back a little ways with big wide eyes.
Terra laughed at the next picture. "You were here for a while, weren't you?" she asked, though kind of already knew the answer. "Why'd you leave?" She turned the page again.
"Since I was around seven I think." Beast Boy shrugged and took his time being answering her question. "Got in disagreements." His face went solemn for a brief moment before it left and his regular care-free face replaced it.
"Oh," Terra said, not pushing him for more information. She didn't know what else to say, so flipped the page again.
Rita came back again, holding another box. "Amazing what you find in this house," she said, setting the box down on the coffee table.
"Now see, those words scare me." Beast Boy eyed Elasta Girl then the box. "What is it? I know it's something you were just waiting to bring up when my-gi- uh, friend is around." He joked then peered over into the box.
Terra glanced at Beast Boy, smiling, then back at the box. "What is it?" she asked.
"Old home videos," Elasta Girl grinned at the two teens. Terra's face broke out into a huge grin before turning to look at Beast Boy again.
"Oh no..." Beast Boy moaned, throwing himself in a hunched position.
"Watch them if you want, it'll give you guys something to do," Rita said. Terra turned to look at Beast Boy again, grinning in an almost pleading way.
Beast Boy was quietly muttering to himself about how much he would love to do the exact opposite. Though when he caught Terra's face from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help it. "...fine." He muttered.
"Awesome!" Terra exclaimed. "Which first?" she asked, grinning at Beast Boy again.
"I don't care." Beast Boy muttered. Terra shrugged and pulled a random video out. She put it in the VCR and hit play before falling back on the couch.
"If any of this gets repeated to the others, I'm going to find something to do to you." Beast Boy joked to Terra as he sat down next to her.
"Oh, I won't tell them. I'm not THAT mean… I guess," Terra grinned.
"I'm trusting you," Beast Boy warned her, though smiled before looking over at the screen.
"Is this how?" Beast Boy's voice came, though, it sounded slightly more, high pitched. You could see his face right up in the camera. "Am I video camera it?"
"You're holding it the wrong way," Robot Man said from somewhere out of view. A minute later the screen turned and Robot Man was in screen.
"There you got it," He grinned.
"YAY! Hey Mento!" The screen shook as Beast Boy ran with the camera towards Mento who was sitting on the outside patio, again reading.
"Yes Beast Boy?" His dull voice answered. He turned his head around a minute later to see the camera right in his face, he yelped and fell backwards out of his seat.
Terra laughed and smiled over at Beast Boy when Mento fell. She looked back over at the screen a moment later. She loved home videos. Even if they weren't her home videos. They were always funny.
The screen showed static for a moment before the screen started making shaky movements down the hall towards the bath room. Moments later the door was opened by a orange robot looking hand. The little green boy was soaked as was the bath room. On the walls were wads of toilet paper. "Beast Boy, what are you doing?" Robot Man's voice came from behind the camera. Beast Boy looked up at the camera and grined. "Playing," he answered innocently.
"Steve and Rita aren't going to be happy," Robot Man warned and Beast Boy's smile slipped from his face.
"Am I going to get in trouble?"
"Probably, what's wrong with the toilet?"
"... I don't know." Beast Boy replied with shifty eyes.
Terra couldn't help but start cracking up. "What WAS wrong with the toilet?" she asked.
"I don't remember," Beast Boy leaned back in his seat, and despite himself, looked amused. "I think I clogged it with toilet paper... but I don't remember. Too long ago." He snickered.
Terra laughed again. "That's funny," she said, looking away from the TV and at him.
This was a over-all fun chapter to write. Two parts, yes, the parters begin xD We seem to be bad about writing too much -anime sweat drop- Grease and I can write fifty pages on about anything xD (I get a feeling this fic will be longer then that though).
So, what Night Hawk and Sierra where doing, that is a problem for you to try and figure out, and just to let you know, it plays a big part in this plot.
...Please Read and Review...
