I do not own The Teen Titans:
Hello friends, please enjoy my over complicated story that haunts my dreams and needs to escape my brain!
Chapter 2
As they pulled away from the market, Garfield took another look at Miss Roth. She was stunning, marble skin and a mostly calm demeanor. He smiled, fiery, just what I like. Before long they were half way to their destination and he had enough of it.
Garfield pinched his nose, the smell of shrimp was nauseating, "Can't you stick that in the truck at least?" he asked Victor.
"No, now shut it Grass Stain." Victor took his phone out and dialed, "Dick, we ran into her at the market today. According to Gar she doesn't seem to know anything."
"Yeah I realized that earlier when I met up with her." Dick responded.
Garfield jumped up from his grumbling about shrimp, "Wait! You talked to her today too?" he said a little too loud.
Dick rolled his eyes, not that anyone could see behind his sunglasses. "Yes, I sold her the house remember?" he looked off the screen and responded to someone, most likely his fiance Kori. "I have to go guys, don't forget to be here by six." And with that he hung up the phone.
Dick and Kori were getting married in a month and tonight was a party, nobody knew if it was for their cover or if it was real but they seemed happy. Kori had been in love with Dick for years and when they finally got together it was a shock to almost no one. Although even Vic couldn't tell if Dick really loved her, but they hoped he did. Kori was a good person and a little eccentric but that made her more fun.
Victor and Karen were the two with no doubts about love, they truly loved each other through thick and thin. Now they were expecting their first child and everyone was ecstatic. The duo had been married for ten years now and still argued over how to fold towels. Gar chuckled quietly at the thought of arguing over something so pointless.
Garfield was the only one in their group that was single, not by choice in his mind. The last woman he dated ended up working for their worst enemy and betraying them. She sent them back years of work and time, escaping them at every turn. Terra, the biggest mistake of his life that haunted him almost every day. Because of her the group had to move to a new town and use new identities in order to keep working undercover.
The Government called them the Titans, they were a secret organization that prevented terrorist threats from becoming reality. For the time being they had real jobs, Vic worked at his own Mechanic shop and his wife, due to her pregnancy, officially collected data on their current case. Dick was a realtor because it gave him the time to do research on all purchased property around town and gave him blueprints to the properties. Kori did interior design, she loved design and art but this also gave her access to peoples homes, she would come in to offer her services and thanks to her charismatic nature they would usually allow her to do as she wished. If you searched her on yelp, she had fives starts and a one-hundred percent success rate.
Finally, Garfield whom as it turned out was left a fortune my his parents when they passed away. He wasn't able to access it until he was twenty-five but until then he found himself working odd jobs. Even after acquiring it he wanted to keep working, he bought up some property in the new town they moved to and built an arcade which he truly barely visited unless he was needed. Garfields' main passion was animals, he documented wildlife in the area and reported anything strange to the local police. Sometimes a pack of wolves would wonder too close to the town and he had to keep them away before speaking to the police. He never wanted any animals to get hurt by hunters, nasty folk.
"Alright, we're here Gar. Come on." Victor broke Garfield out of his train of thought. They arrived at Dick and Koris' house, a large open concept house. Windows covering the walls so you could almost completely see inside the house, if it wasn't for the shades.
"Friends!" Kori yelled as she fly to the two and gave them bone crushing hugs. She was something of an anomaly, super strength and flight. Her hair became inflamed when her powers were active as well as her eyes glowing green. Nobody had seen her mad besides Dick and the one time that happened he came back with burned clothes and a fear of his girlfriend. "It is amazing to see you! Karen awaits you inside Victor!" And with that she turned around and flew back to Dick.
"Kori you shouldn't fly, we may be in the middle of the forest but we shouldn't chance it." He squeezed her hand and she smiled in return before walking inside. "Hey guys, no work talk today. If Kori hears anything I think she will honestly kill me this time." he laughed.
The men shook hands and walked inside, the house was decorated with white and gold streamers. There was a spread of food, mostly weird stuff from wherever Kori was from and smothered in mustard but Karen made some special edible food for everyone else. A couple hours passed and they were all having a good time, the ladies demanded no video games at the party so that was a bummer for Gar and Vic especially. They spoke of love and marriage, relationship issues and over coming them. Needless to say Garfield became horribly bored after being scolded for arguing with Vic about meat products.
Garfields' thoughts went to Miss Roth, the daughter of Trigon and Arella. They both appeared out of nowhere about 25 years ago, never claimed citizenship in any country and never stopped traveling with their daughter. After their passing, Miss Roth claimed citizenship in the United States and lived in silence until suddenly moving to a new town less than a year later. Which so happened to contain the Titans. They were working a case involving a man named Malchior, a terrorist they believed to be involved with Trigon before his death. But what did that have to do with Miss Roth?
"Friend Garfield? Are you okay?" Kori placed her hand on his shoulder, Gar looked over at her and smiled.
"I'm fine Kori, but I think I'm going to go for a run." And with that he jump up and ran out of the house, disappearing into the forest.
Dick walked up behind Kori, "Where is he going?"
Kori shrugged, "After everything that happened with Terra I believe the talk of relationships upset him."
When he was finally out of sight, Garfield was able to relax. He shifted into a Raven and flew through the tall trees. He landed on a tree and sighed, why couldn't he get that woman out of his mind. The mission was simple, get a job, work under cover, observe small or large land purchases and investigate them. Malchior was know for purchases small land and using it to hide weapons he had smuggled into the states. This wasn't the only town he worked with, there were countless others. But he did visit each town a certain times during the year, they just had to wait for him to come.
Garfield huffed and ruffled his feathers, he looked around and saw a house. A woman wrapped in a blanket, sipping on a hot beverage and reading in her back yard. She had a candle lit and a hood covering her face. He watched her yawn and then sneezed, that's when he face froze. When she sneeze black energy came shooting out of her and various items became suspended in the air.
"Fuck..." she said, then she stood up and her hood fell down. Miss Roth, he let out a squawk. She flinched "Who's there?" She couldn't see anyone or sense anything other than the local animals, birds and squirrels were accustomed to the area.
Garfield flew down with the intention of observing her further, at least as a raven she wouldn't feel threatened. He landed on her chair slighting scaring her for a second, I've never seen a raven this close. "Cute, but don't touch me." He squawked in response, which earned him a smirk from her.
He observed her movements, waiting for her to use her abilities again. She didn't, not for the rest of the night at least. He found himself thinking about how calm she was, she just read and drank tea for hours. Never moving unless she needed to shift her blanket or Garfield got to close and she tried to shoo him away. Miss Roth yawned again and muttered something about it being late.
She turned to the bird and spoke, "I need sleep." Rachel stuck her finger out and scratched his chest. "Now go away." Once she stood up she looked around to make sure she was alone still, when she felt safe she used her powers to carry her book and blanket.
Garfield squawked again as she went inside for some shut eye, she doesn't seem like a threat but I should tell the others. He flew off towards Dicks' to tell them what he'd discovered.
Overly complicated nonsense Yaaay
