Drifting

It was just ten minutes till take off and Beast boy had just finished packing. He made sure to pack anything he could possibly need for his trip. This included a raincoat, boots, a winter coat (even though it is summer time in Brazil, you can never be too careful), and his swim trunks just in case the trip became a vacation like Tokyo had. His suitcase looked very unstable. Like a bomb that could explode at any second, showering anything too close with clothes. He stood, arms at his hips, and gave a satisfied nod. Grabbing the suitcase's handle, he began making the long trek to the underground chamber where the T-Ship is stored. The only sounds to reach his sensitive ears were his soft foot falls and the gentle skidding sound of his suitcase on the hard floor. This quiet, coupled with his solitude, left his mind to wander.

His thoughts first led him to the possibility of a vacation. First he wanted to hit the beach and maybe go diving. Then he wanted to go hang-gliding, visit the Iguassu Falls, go white water rafting, and… He stopped himself there so he wouldn't get his hopes up. Tokyo was probably just a fluke. Robin is too strict to let them have another vacation so soon after the first. Well by his standards of soon. It's only been a year and a half but as he would probably say, "Superheroes have a job to do, protect the city and its people. The mayor doesn't pay us to have fun and goof off." He probably wouldn't know what fun is if it hit him in the face… or up his- Just then, his communicator started to play the Titan's theme song. He glanced at the screen and guess who it is?

Robin's face filled the little circular screen. "We have just five more minutes till we take off so make sure you use the restroom and anything else you need to do before we leave. We don't want a repeat of last time. Also make sure you get here on time or you will be flapping your wings to Brazil."

Beast boy rolled his eyes. "Yes mooomm!" Robin's face turned into a slight grimace as he too realized how mom-like he sounded.

"Whatever… Just get moving." With that the screen went black. Beast Boy hooked his communicator back on his belt and continued walking.

His talk with Robin made his mind drift to the mission. He wandered what sort of creature those scientists could have created. He knew what those scientists were doing was wrong, but at the moment, all his mind could think about was the creature. In his mind, it looked monstrous. It was at least twenty feet tall, scaly, with rows of sharp teeth and glowing red eyes. He shook his head of these daunting thoughts just as he made it to the T-Ship. However, this sense of foreboding and unease never left him.

Everyone was already there. He handed his suitcase to Cyborg who heaved it into the back and shut the hatch. They all got situated in their seats and the countdown to lift off began. They sky rocketed into the air and soon after began leveling. They were up so high, it looked as if they were surfing the heavens. A sense of total tranquility allowed his worried mind to slip off into unconsciousness as sleep overtook him.
