The Mission
The light of the morning sun had just begun to creep over the horizon of Jump City, causing the surrounding buildings and sky scrapers to glitter in a beautiful display of light. Yes, the time just after sunrise and sunset could do magical things indeed. The city was just beginning to wake up as people, tiredly, headed off to work and school. The same went for the teens living in a tall "T" shaped building on the outskirts of Jump, well most of them.
"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEE- SMACK!" A green hand gruffly silenced the alarm. Its adjoining body let out an irritated growl followed soon after by a yawn. It rolled over, pulling the covers up with it. This person's name is Beast Boy, otherwise known as Garfield Logan. He was a member of the Doom patrol and is a current member of the Teen Titans. He had just begun to drift back to sleep when the intercom began voicing a very business sounding Robin throughout the tower. Beast Boy groaned. Either they had a mission or a surprise combat practice. He hoped it wasn't the latter because the last time they had one, he was barely able to walk the next day. He would rather it be neither so he could continue sleeping, but sadly, his wish wasn't going to come true.
"Titans! We need to have a meeting in the commons so get ready quickly."
Beast boy let out an extended sigh before getting out of bed. Once he reached the age of sixteen, he had decided he had grown too old for a bunk bed (and had gotten too many bumps on his head from falling off) so he opted to buy a queen size bed. His favorite colors however, he will never grow out of. His pillows and sheets were a bright green and is comforter, a deep purple. His room was still messy, but not dirty. He had clean clothes in a basket that he was too lazy to properly fold and put away, they will just end up back in the basket anyway. To the right of the door was a small desk and a computer. Next to that a tower of comic books lay only one book away from toppling over onto the floor.
Beast boy quickly showered, brushed his teeth, and threw on his outfit before making his way down to the commons. Everyone was already situated on the couch, waiting for him so they could commence with the meeting. Beast Boy pondered what the meeting could be about as he took his seat between Cyborg and Raven. Starfire sat on the other side of Cyborg while boy wonder stood in front of the TV, with arms crossed, and a serious look plastered to his face.
"Ok team. I have just received an urgent call from a science and research center in Belem, Brazil in South America. They had one of their experiments escape a couple nights ago and it is considered dangerous. Any attempt so far to locate and capture this creature have been futile. That is why they have contacted us in the hope we could do better and aide them in its capture. Any questions?"
"How do you reckon we converse with the people there if none of us speak Portuguese?" asked Raven.
"Cyborg is able to decipher most languages with a translator chip in his arm-"
Cyborg interrupted Robin to add, " Or Star could just kiss a guy while she's down there. That would be much faster and easier." He said with a knowing smirk as Robin's face contorted to show his disgust at the idea.
"No, that won't be necessary." He quickly replied, maybe a little too quickly.
He was saved from any further questions about his crush kissing strangers when Beast boy asked, "So… when do we leave?"
"We leave in a few hours so everyone, start packing. We're going to Brazil."
AN/ I know some pple may not like the idea of them going to South America, but I did it because they have one of the lagest tropical rainforests in the world which helps with part of the plot. Also, only a small part of the story takes place there, most of it happens back in Jump City. The people they meet for the mission came from America and English is their first language, so most of the people they meet down in Brazil will not be speaking portuguese. Just clearing some things up. :)
