It was the second day. The sun had set about twenty minutes ago. Jake was walking towards pier nineteen. There was an abandon warehouse Jake used for storage since he came to Jump City. It was his last safe haven. His gun ready in case I ran into trouble. Too many things were happening too fast. He had a feeling that things were going to get worse over the next couple of days.
Reaching the warehouse entrance, Jake pressed his back against the wall. His eyes checking the darkened area while his ears listened for anything even a rat squeaking to the waves from the sea smashing into the wood supports. Nothing.
Checking the door handle, it was unlocked. It meant nothing, however his training demanded he check it. Opening the door slowly, he stepped inside. Dropping his bag next to the door, he pulled out a flashlight. Bringing his gun up, he pressed the hand holding with the flashlight against his gun hand allowing him to aim. Slowly moving, sweeping from left to right, looking and listening, he stopped halfway into the room.
A flash of light blinded him as the overhead lights came on. Jumping sideways, he rolled behind a stack of boxes cocking back the hammer of his gun. no movement, then laughter.
Over his left shoulder, "Dude," replied the voice of Beast Boy, "you really are just to jumpy dude. I've never seen anyone move like that from the lights being turned on."
Laughter from at least a half dozen other people inducted everybody had beaten Jack to the warehouse.
Grinning as he charged a round. Spinning the gun, it stopped with the barreled at Beast Boys face. BANG. He shrieked with surprise and everyone quickly quieted down. everyoneI stood up and walked from their hiding spot out, , including Hazara and Altair. They stared at Jake.
"Dude!" screamed Beast Boy, "what did you have to shoot me for? I was only trying to make you laugh."
Holding back his laughter, "Oh come on BB," remarked Jake, "Why so blue?"
Stepping into light giving everyone a better look at Beast Boy's face. They were shock, or fighting back grins at the sight of Beast Boy's blue face and he was completely clueless. Jake shoot him in the face with a charged paint round, therefore turning the front of his face completely blue.
Realizing the joke was him, "Not funny! Jake shot me, and you're laughing!"
"BB, calm down, we don't want you to become any more blue from not breathing," Jake said causing everyone else to start laughing harder.
Staring at Jake, "What's with all of the blue comments?"
"Ok, someone give him a mirror, it just isn't funny anymore."
Nightwing handed Beast Boy a small mirror. Beast Boy's reaction went from shock as his eyes got plate sized round, then confusion.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FACE?"
Taking a breath, "It's okay Beast Boy," remarked Jake, "It will wear off in the next five seconds."
After five second, it did start to change. Instead of fading away, large pink words formed on his face. They were "TOFU SUCKS," and everyone burst into laughing.
"So does that mean you will start like meat like a normal person?" asked Cyborg.
In shook, Beast Boy stared at Cyborg , then back at the mirror. His reaction was simple, he fainted.
It was night when most were at home recovering from a hard day of working. In an office building, two co workers were having little playtime on the boss's desk.
Unbuttoning her blouse, the man squeezed and caressed her breasts. Pushing her skirt up, he slid his hand between her panties and fingered her. She moaned and groaned for more. Removing her panties, he unbuttoned and unzipped his pants letting them drop towards his ankles.
Parting her legs, he began thrusting her. During his thrusting, his eyes turned red. His mass grew ripping through his clothes. Tentacles shot from his body and wrapped around the woman. They began manipulating her body into exotic pleasure.
Screaming, her body exploded covering the office in blood and body tissue. The office burst opened by a red head with a batch of white hair over her left eye wearing black duster coat and fedora.
"This happens when one doesn't practice safe sex," she remarked.
The demon stared at her then sailed through closed window. A grapnel hook shot from her left wrist gauntlet and wrapped around the demon's ankle pulling her out the window and getting scrapped by points of jagged glass.
Carrying her through the night air, she was slapped against buildings, through billboards, and going into on coming traffic which she got hit by several automobiles.
Flying along an apartment building upwards, they pasted windows. First one, a little boy got scared, run to his parents room to tell about the scary flying pasted his window to only be told to go bed and stop reading comic books.
The second story window, a couple was in the middle of the role playing game when the creature and its unwanted passenger flew by. When the red head flew by, the woman slapped her riding crop against her tied up husband's bare ass.
The final window had a teenager writing on his computer. When they went by, "A demon carrying a red head past my window," he thought, "That's too stupid for anyone to write," then he went back to writing about how cute pink bunny rabbits massacred a whole town.
Passing the edge of the roof, the demon turned and flew close to the roof surface. The red head went up and got whip lashed against the roof. Getting dragged, she hit antenna poles and air ducts. Slamming against a chimney, her foot caught the edge of the chimney.
Her arm muscles strained against the demon continued attempt to fly away. Turning, its tentacles shot from its body trying to hit the red head. She moved and threw the charkram at the demon. It went past the demon's neck then u-turned slicing through demon's neck and heading back towards to the redhead. Catching it, she watched the demon dropped towards the ground.
Noticing the flickering lights, "Here we go again," she thought.
The demon's life force struck her and overloaded fuse boxes in fact a teenage writer lost his work on his computer causing him to pick it up and throw it out his window.
Getting up, "That was easy," she thought dragging her feet towards the fire escape. Now she had to deal with that pervert Turner.
Calming down enough, Jake assured them it will wear off in a couple of hours.
Picking him up, Cyborg placed him on an old couch.
Noticing Etana was standing firm on both legs, "Etana," bringing her attention to Jake, "How's that leg of yours? It look pretty bad back at the hideout."
Pointing to Altair who's grinning madly, "You can thank her for the help," said Etana, "She and Hazara arrived about five minutes before you did."
"And speaking of which, Hazara," pulling her dagger from behind his back, "sorry bout running of with it," tossing it to her, "Thanks for letting me borrow it."
Catching it, she returned it with the other daggers along her sash.
"Ok, time to get serious here," said Jake causing the others to stop laughing.
"What do you have in mind?" asked Nightwing.
Instead of answering, Jake turned to Cyborg.
"Don't you happen to have a layout of the tower in the hard drive of yours?"
"Way ahead of you," he replied as a lamp coming out of his shoulder and a holographic blueprint of Titans Tower appeared.
"My plan is the hunters will go into the tower, sabotage the power generators, and get Jinx and Terra out. From what I know, Jinx is being held on the seventh level on the north side here," placing a finger on the holographic spot in which room she would be in, "Terra will be closer to the basement, and she is more then likely here," pointing to a room on the third floor south side.
"Ok," Daria spoke, "but how to cut the power to the place?"
"What does the tower run on power wise?" asked Jake.
"Let me show you," bringing up the lower levels, one area red, the other two yellow, "You need to knock out the main power, which is the red area, and the secondary uploads, the two yellow areas, at the same time to knock out the power."
"Then that's what we'll do," replied Jake, " And at the same time, Cyborg and Nightwing will give us a distraction on opposite sides of the town to draw away the Justice League if they are still around, as well as anyone else who is looking after the tower. During this time, Etana and Daria will take out the power, Hazara and Altair will go after Jinx, and Otomo and I will find Terra. Starfire and Beast Boy will wait on the waters edge," staring right at both of them, "and you will keep quiet until we're done. You two will transport Terra and Jinx by flying them out since they'll both will be too beat up to have them swim out," turning to Altair, "once you reach Jinx, heal her enough so we don't need to worry about her dying on us, but don't drain yourself too much. Lastly, while we are in there avoid confrontations unless absolutely necessary, and if you do get into a fight, make it quick and quiet, we don't need everything they can throw down our throats so fast."
Sensing a fair sized group surrounding the building, they must've been what's left from the attack at the last hideout. No escape. It wasn't going to get any better. No time to run. It's time to fight.
