Chapter 9: A quick stop
Disclaimer I don't own the Teen Titans
The column left behind the highway intersection that coasted to much to control, since now they were in a urban area, the tank went forward in every street corner
To look for any sing of a ray-gun or bugs
As they passed by a bus stop they saw the dead boys of four people and some bugs
"They combated here" a soldier said
In fact it seemed that a group of survivors gathered and attacked the invaders, by the wounds that the bodies have, they even fight hand to hand.
They continued the advance by the avenue
"Hey" Stan said as he grabbed Beast Boy who was walking along with Raven, by the arm
"Yes?" he stopped to respond
"Back there in the fight I hear you scream a name, Raven, isn't she a member of the Titans, how do you managed to recognize her with the suit?"
"Well" he explained "I could recognize her, because I'm also a member of the Titans, I'm Beast Boy, when this happened, we where both on the T Tower and we couldn't contact the others so we decided to go outside to search for other survivors, we arrive to the city and found the group of soldiers with the trucks and decided to join. Anyways we wanted to keep a low profile so, if you need call me just say me Gar, OK?
"No problem Gar"
But before he could continue the tank stopped in the middle of the street and opened fire
"Attention Lieutenant, go with your men to support the tank" the Major ordered
The conscripts went, although they where a bit disordered, they where decided, no one stay behind
"Hey what are you firing at? Stan asked to the tank commander who was on the hatch of the turret
"I saw some figures moving over there, and I don't wanted to take risks" he answered
"But now we can't see anything, do you see something form that side Gar"?
"Nothing here to… But hey over there"
They saw that something was moving, in fact it was moving fast, when it came closer they saw that it was a police car (See AN1) with two police officers inside, both of them came out and one said "Nice aiming there, almost blow up the station"
"It was a mistake, you where mistaken with bugs" Stan tried to explain
"You need to get your eyes revised to mistake with those things, the gunner needs a vacation, anyways I m going to call the rest of the officers to came here" and he started to wave his arms in the direction of the police station. Moments later a group of ten police officers came out and reunited with the soldiers
"Since we all are here I m going to present myself, I'm Sergeant Bill Wellman of the Jump City Police, and this are the survivors of the 6th Police Station"
"Long story short", he explained to Stan "when this thing happened, most of us we still have our suits on, and when the lights went off we suspected that something was wrong. Unfortunately most of the officers inside the police station didn't have the full suit on, and they fall dead on their desks. And since we couldn't contact the other stations or whit the Titans"
Beast Boy and Raven felt a nudge on their stomachs when they hear that
"So we decided to entrench in the station and shortly after those bugs appeared" As he pointed at the dead bodies of some bugs near the station "And wanted to enter in the station, but we fight them off"
The Sergeant Wellman and the rest of the officers where incorporated to the Stan's battalion and the column continue the advance
"Have you noticed the change, Beast Boy?" Raven said
"What change Raven?"
"A few hours ago we kill each other, every survivor was an enemy, now when we know that the enemy is an alien force, we have the felling of brotherhood among us, I wonder if this happened in Azarath the people would act the same"
Meanwhile, the Corporal Wilson was talking to Stan
"Lieutenant, the Major has given a new order, we have to establish a base, and the more adequate place is the Jump City baseball stadium, located a few blocks form here, so we have go in there, understood"
"Yes" Stan responded, and looked at the stadium who was standing impotent in the quiet city
AN1: Since I don't remember and I can't find any pic of a JCPD car, let's just say that the police car is black and white, LAPD style
