Okay, let's get this thing moving.
Chapter 4 Unexpected Company
"Okay Mammoth," Raven said. "Describe everything you saw." Beast Boy shifted into a bloodhound and tried to pick up a familiar scent, but came up empty handed. "There were three of them," he said. "They had weapons too. One had a sawed off shotgun and the other two had Smith and Wesson pistols. They waited until their backs were turned and then grabbed them at gunpoint."
"Did you hear them speak?"
"No," Mammoth said. "They never said a word. They drug them all back and took them into that building." He pointed to a rather tall skyscraper that towered over jump. "I remember being hit by something, but I don't know what. All I remember was a helicopter, but it was a military one, so I thought they were coming to clean up the mess we made."
"Did it go to the building?" Beast Boy asked after shifting back to human form.
"I blacked out before I saw it," he said. Raven looked closer at the building. "That is strange," she said. "I've been going to this place for years and I have never noticed a Hollister Incorporated building." Beast Boy looked up. "It's just a banner, probably a cover-up."
"I say we go shopping," Raven smirked. "Still have your truck?"

Robin woke up with a massive headache. The rest of his team was tied up to a chair unconscious. "Where am I?" he asked. "The little birdie is awake," a female voice said. "Good morning!" Before Robin could respond, he was hit hard in the face with an open hand. "Tell us what we want to know and you may not suffer…as much."
"Us?" As if on cue, two more villains walked through the door. "Who are you?"
"We ask the questions," one of them said. "You just answer. Tell us everything you know about your teammate, Beast Boy!"
"Why do you want to
know that?" Robin laughed. "The only thing interesting about him
is the fact that he can belch his ABC's." Robin received another
painful slap across his face, turning his cheek a fiery red color.
"What are his weaknesses," The females asked again. "I still
won't talk." Robin said glaring into the girl's dark green
eyes, which were the only things not concealed by her mask.
"We
have a plan 'B' just for this scenario," she said. "Bring in
the Hive and ask them. More than likely, they will give us everything
including his e-mail address." Robin lowered his head. "No…"

"Remember," a guard mentioned to his comrade. "Anyone that walks through this door gets two to the chest." The other guard nodded his head in agreement as he and his teammate stood in front of a pair of steel doors. "Did you hear that?" Suddenly a white Ford F-150 pickup plowed through the double doors and over the unsuspecting guards. "Open fire!" the other guards screamed, letting rounds from their M-16's fly from the gun's chambers into the truck's windshield. After five minutes of shooting the guards finally decided to examine the vehicle, but when they got close enough, they realized that there was nobody inside. "What's going on?" The guard in charge asked. One of the guards leaned inside to notice that the truck was set on cruise control. "It's a…?" Suddenly, the car lifted up and shot towards the surrounding guards. "What the…?"
"Sorry for stopping in," a deep male voice said, "but since I am here, I might as well start some trouble."
"You got it!" One of the guards screamed. "Open Fire!" All of the guards opened fire at the voice, but no one had one shot of hitting him. "You guys must have taking shooting lessons from the Coast Guard Reserves," the voice said, stepping out from behind the shadows. It was Mammoth. "Now, it's my turn." Mammoth charged toward the guards and began pummeling everyone until there was just one mere guard standing. "I surrender!" he screamed, but Mammoth had other plans. He grabbed the guard by his neck and tossed him straight into the air. Mammoth waited until the guard was only a few feet from the ground and then threw a heavy punch, hitting the guard in the side and sending him sideways into a solid brick wall, killing him instantly. "That's for my team," Mammoth said. "Raven, the doors are open for you." The two lovers walked through the busted building with their fists at the ready. "Mammoth," Beast Boy said. "Take the first four floors and find out anything about our teams. Raven and I are going up top and find the security center. If you find anything, here!" Beast Boy tossed Mammoth a Titan Communicator. "Don't get used to it," Raven said. "After our teams are found, we are enemies once again."
"Count on that one!"

"Okay, spill it!" all three girls demanded. The little boy, Gizmo smiled jokingly. "For your numbers, I'll tell you everything I know and then some!" he laughed. The girls didn't find it amusing and slapped him clear across his face. "Tell us or we kill you!" one said, raising a 9mm pistol at his torso. "Geez," he groaned. "Fine, what do you want to know?"
"How long has he been a Titan?"
"A few years now," Gizmo exclaimed.
"Has he ever been injured? Where?"
"I don't think so," he said. "There was a time when his powers got out of whack."
"What are his weaknesses?"
"If you guys want to kill this snot-for-brains, just let me in on it!"
"We don't plan to kill him," they said, holding a picture of a familiar titan.
"We want her gone! Now what would lure him away from her?"
"You mean…?" Gizmo stuttered. "He…her…together?" He fell over laughing. "This is way too good! The best way to get him out is videogames. He's a bigger game freak than I am…?"
"We got company," someone said via speakerphone. "Take the team and get to the roof, now!"
