CHAPTER 4 To Jump City
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans
The van stopped in the tower's entrance and Beast Boy came out the back of the van carrying Jinx. "Don't sop, I will open the door" Raven said, and she do that by pressing a button, when the three entered in the airlock , when they where inside Raven pushed another button, and the air extractor started to work and expelled the snowflakes that they have on them. Beast Boy graved the hair dryer, and passed it over Jinx to blow the last snowflakes
"Hurry up, I'm suffocating here" she screamed
"Hold on, we are almost done" Beast Boy announced. After that they entered to the lobby of the tower, where they "unwrapped" Jinx
"The T tower, how did I end here, and who the hell are you" Jinx asked
"Well" Raven said and take off her gas mask "This answers your first question, and Beast Boy is behind you". As Jinx turned her head she saw Beast Boy waving his hand
"But where is Cyborg, and the others"
"That's the long part of the story, Beast Boy, why don't you start to bring the things from the van"
"Sure Rae" he responded, and went outside
"I hate when he calls me like that"
"Oh, come on; don't be so hard about that nickname" when she saw the expression in the face of Raven, Jinx decided to change the subject "so, do you got anything to eat around here, I m starving"
"Sure, let's go to the main room"
When they where there Raven told Jinx all that she and Beast Boy have saw, form the beginning of the snowfall, that the couldn't contact the other titans until when the found her on the 7/11
Jinx was astonished and only nodded with her head. When Jinx was about to talk about how did she end in the closet of the store, they heard a sound that surprise them, the sound of helicopters when they view trough the window, Beast Boy just ended to bring the things form the van and joined them to watch, They saw a squad of four UH-60 "Black Hawk" helicopters coming from the northwest. But they lost all hope when saw that the hellis where hitted by a white ray that came from the south part of Jump City (AN 1: In this case the invaders established a "beach head" in the south of the city). Two hellis where hitted, and immediately crashed into the ground, the other two tried to evade the lethal ray, but they where also shoot down with extremely easily.
"There goes our help" Beast Boy said in a low voice. They turned to see form where the rays came, and they where even more shocked. Five white cigar-shape spaceships where slowly descending on Jump City, the only one who reacted was Raven saying "I have to search something on my room, I be right back" And she headed quickly to her room. Inside she looked for an old Azarath book "Come on come on, where are you" she tough, searching on one of her bookshelf, she found it "Here it is" and returned quickly to the main room
"I think that this could help" she announced
"What it is Raven" Beast Boy asked
"Here it says that decades ago Azarath loose all contact with one of their colonies, furthermore, when the government send a recon ship to try to contact the colony, the last message that was send by the ship before disappearing was that the planet was covered with a green substance, the second time they send another recon ship, but this time with a military escort, but this time one of the escort frigates reported that they where attacked with some kind of with laser, and after that silence again. The government not willing to loose more lives unnecessary decided to ban al traffic to that area. Most of the people thought that all this was a cover up to not to say that the Azarath empire was disappearing with the gradually loosing of colonies. But as we see now, it was all real"
"We should try to contact someone in the city to give this information" Beast Boy said
"Hey guys", Jinx interrupted I don't want to ruin this, but, as me you just have seen what happened to that choppers"
"Yeah but we are not going to stay here like witness of all this" Raven said
"That super hero thing it's on the genes, no?" Jinx said whit irony
"Its our duty" both responded
"OK, since you saved my life I m with you in all this, but I don't want to be warped again in that banner, do you have another thing"
"Don't worry, we have another suit like the one we use" and Beast Boy went to the basement for another suit
"Hey Jinx, really if you don't want you can stay here on the tower"
"No Rave, I want to go with you, besides as you said before, I don't want to be a witness of this alien invasion", "one more thing"
"Yes?" Raven asked
"Cyborg and the others where outside when this happened, right?"
"Yes" and Raven lowered her head
"I see" Jinx said with a bit of sadness "We have to do it for them and for the rest of the people of Jump City"
Just when Jinx finished to said that Beast Boy retuned with one suit and the rest of the equipment form the basement, "here it is" and he handed the suit to Jinx
"Raven is going to help you"
"Its quite easy, first you put the suit then we help you with the boots, gloves and the gas mask" and she proceeded to help Jinx
"Ready" Beast Boy asked and Jinx nodded with the head
"OK now our turn Beast Boy" and Raven and he putted their gas mask, when they were ready the three of them headed to the tower's entrance and went outside, before entering in the van Beast Boy and Raven looked for the last time to the Tower, their home, not really knowing if they were going to see it again, whit a bit of melancholy both entered in the van
"What took you so long" Jinx, who already was in the back of the van asked
"Nothing, nothing" Raven responded
Finally the three teens begun their trip to Jump City
