Chapter 2: Through the Darkness

Earlier.

"Titans, regroup!!" commanded Robin, the leader of the young heroes, barking into his yellow communicator. They were triumphant in the 2 hour long battle against a massive ambush of bionic machines. The Teen Titans had just finished cleaning up the ruined beings. Minutes later they had reorganized.

"Damn, that was a lot of robots. Do we have any idea of what they were after?" Cyborg was the first to speak as the heroes congregated in a large rock cavern.

"There isn't anything valuable down here, as far as I noticed. Where's Beast Boy?" Raven acknowledged the absence of their green-skinned teammate.

"I haven't seen him since we split up. He could be lost. Or he's just taking his dear sweet time to get here. You know BB," Cyborg proposed.

"Perhaps Friend Beast Boy is injured. Shall we send out a "party of searching" to find his location?" Starfire was the innocent, typically affectionate Tameranean alien princess in the group. She was always concerned with the wellbeing of her teammates.

"He's probably fine, Star. Like Cyborg said, he's probably on his way as we speak. We'll wait a few minutes before we go looking for him," Robin said to Starfire, assuring her.

The four titans waited, and after several minutes of assessing their injuries, Cyborg checked for a signal from Beast Boy's communicator. He found there was none and tried to contact Beast Boy, but received no reply.

"Uh, guys, we may have a slight problem. BB's T-com isn't giving off any signal. He didn't answer when I called it, either."

"Try setting of the homing device on his belt," suggested Robin.

"Right," Cyborg said as he proceeded with Robin's suggestion. "I got him… He's not coming…" He said and then added, "He's not moving."

"Well, I guess we have to go find him, then," Robin said bluntly. His respect for Beast Boy had been waning for some time, most likely because Beast Boy had not been performing particularly well for a few weeks.

"Well, I guess so," Cyborg mumbled under his breath, gritting his teeth against Robin's disregard for the possibility of Beast Boy being injured. As they traveled down dark tunnels, Cyborg watched Beast Boy's signal and was unsure if Beast Boy was even wearing his belt until he noticed that the signal moved. It did not move much but proved to Cyborg that his friend was still alive and was where his signal was coming from.

As they neared Beast Boy's location, Cyborg began to call out to his friend, hoping for some sort of response. As he drew nearer, he talked through the darkness to Beast Boy. Walking past a rather large body dressed in the same attire as the robots, Cyborg heard a weak groan from his friend and a quiet sob. Cyborg turned toward a large boulder where he thought he had heard the sound. As the bright light stationed upon Cyborg's shoulder fell upon the small green figure resting against the rock, Cyborg gasped and stared in shock at the bruised face of his suffering friend.

"Oh, my God."

Yes? I know it was short. You still enjoyed it though, right? even if I did leave you hanging off the edge off a cliff by your underpants. ... uh ya. The next chapter is slightly longer though, I just have to finish it, whoch I can't right now seeing as how I have, my favorite, History homework just sitting here patiently waiting for me to finish it. And I do love it so. But I also have a small little affair going on with my Spanish. I should probably go now, but in the meantime...
