Starfire, Robin, Beastboy, and Raven all huddled around Gusgus's unconscious form on the ground. Behind them Cyborg was franticly trying to contact the tower. "What do you think he was saying?" asked Beastboy. "Alyssa's in danger and I think he was going to say something about the robots but they wouldn't be able to get past the tower's defenses." replied Robin. Cyborg suddenly exploded, " IT WAS A DISTRACTION!" These robots weren't trying to defeat us, they were trying to get us out of the tower! And we left Aly there all alone! Somebody should have stayed behind with her and I CAN'T REACH THE TOWER!" He stopped and gasped for breath. "Woo," raven Beastboy looked stunned, Starfire gasped. Robin looked troubled, "Right, lets get back." Everyone raced to the T-car.
There was a loud crunch and the giant robot walked over to the couch. It picks the couch up and I make a run for it. Behind me, I hear an enormous noise as the couch hit's the wall, and more crunching as the smaller robots follow me. I ran trough the door and it automatically closes behind me. I had no clear plan, I only knew I had to get away. I ran, turning right, than left, then left again. I ran up stairs and down stairs but he noise of the robots following me continued. Finally after what felt like hours, the thudding stopped. In a way, the deafening silence that followed was worse. I ran faster and threw at the only door on the hall. The doors opened and closed. I was in complete darkness. Then a light came on and I heard a whirring noise. I was in a room smaller than a closet. It took me a minute to realize that I was in an elevator the was going down. Only then did I actually feel it moving. It was an oddly comforting feeling. I felt like I was safe and the answer to all my problem was at the end of this ride. I slid down the wall in exhaustion.
The t-car pulled into the tower from a road under the bay. The titans get out of the car. Raven flies straight through the ceiling, Beastboy and Starfire fly up the open elevator shaft. Robin and Cyborg run up the stairs. Robin instructs the rest of his team through the communicator. " Everyone, we don't know exactly what happened here so be careful and keep an eye out for Alyssa and the robots. Meet in the rec room in twenty minutes." four voices in unison answered the affirmative. Robin and Cyborg had looked through the work rooms on the lower floor for ten minutes when Starfire got a call on his yellow circle, "Robin? It's Raven, you better come to the rec room, now." "I'm on my way ." Cyborg looks like he has aged ten years though only a fraction of the time had passed. Cyborg nods in answer to the unspoken question and they run out of the room. As the pair neared the destination, Cyborg sped up and ran through the door first. He stopped so suddenly that Robin ran into him. As Robin stepped out from behind Cyborg, he blanched at the sight. The room was decimated. The window was gone and the couch was sticking out of the wall. Most of the kitchen area was a giant footprint. Cyborg ran into the room and looked around franticly. No matter how he looked at it, the only way Aly could be there was if she was dead. Cyborg looked at Robin. He was about to speak when Robin's com-link beeped. Robin flipped ti open and saw Beastboy. "Robin, me and Star found the robots, they're scrap, but, "Beastboy's face fell "We found this on them." He held up Aly's phone. " Where are you Beastboy?" " We're at the hall way right before Cyborg's secret weapons basement." "Hey! How do y'all know about my secret weapons basement?" Demanded Cyborg. "We snuck in of course," stated Robin sheepishly. Then he ran down the hall and turned right. Cyborg followed shouting, "That's an invasion of privacy! How did y'all get past my security any way?"
Just before I stepped out of the elevator, I reached for my cell phone , but it wasn't there. I looked around on the floor for it. As my back was turned , the doors opened. I faced the entrance as, one by one, a row of lights turned on. They looked more like really bright glow sticks than any other light I had ever seen. They exposed a hallway of cabinets, bins, and racks. They were all labeled and seem to contain ever kind of weapon imaginable. I smirked, this was indeed the answer to my problem. Some of the weapons I recognized, like swords of guns, but some of the weapons can only be described as water guns or toys with attitude. I flipped to the index of the encyclopedia, went to 'K', down to Kronos, then flipped to the page number. I started read and my smile got bigger. I closed the book on my finger and ran down to the end of the row and stopped in front of a silver cabinet. The picture on the door matched the one in the book. I opened and read the caption, The only thing that ever stopped Kronos. The Arrêter-de-temps, by Jacques-Pierre Commpris, was never taken seriously until the Kronos affair and then "erased" by the government. I giggled as I opened the cabinet and took the gun out. It was small and stocky, but fit into my hand perfectly. As I walked back to the elevator, I saw a rack of katanas. On a whim, I took two regular and one smaller sword, they were all aqua blue. As I got closer to the elevator door, it stared to whir again. I put the two swords crossed on my back and the smaller one on my hip. I pointed the gun at the door and drew the smaller sword. I kneeled on one knee, and crouched forward. As the door opened, my grip on the katana and the gun tightened.
As Robin and Cyborg reach the hall, they saw more and more damage to the walls. Scorch marks, dents and cracks were everywhere. When they finally met up with Starfire and Beastboy, they saw a pile of robot parts. Beastboy was trying to open the door to Cyborg's "secret" weapons basement. It was quite comical and he was failing miserably. Starfire was standing to one side watching his efforts franticly. "Star, what's Beastboy doing?" asked Robin. "He's banging his head against the door while kicking it," and indeed he was. Cyborg picked him up by the scruff of the neck " Do you want to explain why your trying to damage my door?" Beastboy pouted and mumbled something. "What was that? I didn't catch it." "I said I tracked Aly to this door but I can't get in." "Your not supposed to get in, and how did Aly get in if you can't?" "I…don't…know" Cyborg sighed and walked up to the door after dropping Beastboy. "Open." The four people standing behind him sweat drop. "How did you get in here the first time if y'all don't know how to open the door?" "We…uh…thought it was Beastboy's kicking." Cyborg sighed again and walked trough the door. The other start to follow him but are stopped. "This is a one person elevator. Don't strain it." They all start to whistle and look a way. " You all went down together didn't you." Cyborg closed the door. Man those guys can be so weird.
It's surprising the things we remember during times of strife. For instance, at this moment, Beastboy is trying to remember the last thing he ate. He remembered that it was tofu. Starfire was trying to remember if the clerk at the candy store had given her too much change back. The clerk hadn't, but Starfire was constantly worrying about it anyway. And Aly was remembering how her ex-boyfriend had first asked her out.
I first met Alex at one of Brooke's parties. He was a friend of her friend. I remember thinking he is cute, but I didn't really care at the time. I had already made it halfway through high school without a boyfriend, so I wasn't really looking. I was just happy to be hanging out with my friends. I don't think he spared me a second glance, that first time, but he got close to Brooke and we both got invited to the same parties. The first time I really talked to Alex was at a party towards the end of the summer. There were only four people there that time, Brooke, her boyfriend, Alex, and me. Brooke tried to be a good hostess, but she hadn't seen her boyfriend in a long time so they just started making out. Alex sat with me on the couch and flipped through the channels, but there was nothing on. I saw that the Guitar Hero was still hooked up, so I asked Alex if he wanted to play, and he said yes. We played for almost five hours and I even started to win. While we played we talked, and we found out that we both liked the same things. We were both taking French, we both fall asleep in math because we thought it was boring ( but I still had an A) and we both loved animals. At three in the morning, we stopped playing and turned on a random channel. I was so tired, I don't remember anything after that, but we both fell asleep. Brooke came out and took a picture at five, she said that we looked so cute together that we were bound to fall in love. After that, we texted each other all the time and ,since we went to a lot of the same parties, we went together. The day I remember most, though, is when Brooke's boyfriend was talking to us an asked us if we were going out yet. Alex looked at me and half smiled. He raised an eyebrow and I nodded a little, then he looked back "yeah." I don't know if I looked it, but that was one of the happiest moments of my life.
As the memory fads away, the door slides open. I tighten my grip on my weapons even more. I thought to myself I'm not going to lose. I see a figure and light glinting off metal, for an instant, I panic. I can't move, I'm scared. Then I hear my name, "Aly?" the sword falls from my hand and I fall onto all fours. I'm panting and I can't look up. Footsteps approach quickly and a pair of feet enter my view. The person kneels down and puts a hand on my shoulder. I look up and see Cyborg. He looks worried and scared. I'm confused. He grabs me and hugs me, at first I'm surprised but then I start crying. He holds me tighter and I start to laugh. He holds me away from him. I wipe my eyes and say "I've cried more in the past two days than I have in the past year." "He must have really hurt you." "No. I guess I always knew that it was to good to be true, but I wanted it so badly. I'm crying for myself." "You shouldn't have to cry at all." He stands and pulls me up. I'm too shocked by his words to say anything. "Lets go back. The others are worried about you." He pulls me into the elevator and the door closes.

~Sir nods~
Alyssa: Can too, any way , I meant a James bond type spy person.
Sarah: ooooo, can I be a spy too?
Gwen: Your magic, you can't be a spy and magic. Tell her she can't be a spy and magic.

Alyssa: Sarah, can you make them stop?
Sara: Sure! Silencio!
~They continue to yell at each other silently~
Alyssa: That's better. You wanna go get some coffee?
Sarah: Sure
~They walk away.~
_the end (for now)_
~in a Starbucks coffee house, Alyssa and Sarah sit at a table with white chocolate mocha, Alyssa has a grande and Sarah has a tall.~
Alyssa: and that is how we know the earth to be banana shaped.
Sarah: This new learning amazes me, Alyssa, Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
Alyssa: Certainly, you see…
Gwen: There they are!
~Alyssa and Sarah look around to see who she's talking to, and then they pretend not to know her.~
Gwen: hey!
~ grabs a chair and pulls it up roughly. She sits on it backwards and steals Sarah's mocha.~
Sarah: Hey! that's mine!
Gwen: Oh stuff it. You don't need any more caffeine.
~ Alyssa snort's, trying to cover up her laugh. Sarah gives her the evil eye.~
Alyssa: Cough where's Sir?
Gwen: I don't know probably at her job. You know, that one in the Indian restaurant, the most cliché place for here to work, ever.
Sarah: why's that?
Gwen: I don't know maybe because she's INDIAN!
Sarah: SHE'S INDIAN!
Alyssa: You know her name's not really Sir, right?
Sarah: It's not? What is it?
~Alyssa and Gwen slap they're foreheads~
Alyssa: Her name is Siraha, but we don't call her that because It's to close to Sarah and it doesn't fit her personality at all.
Sarah: It doesn't?
~Sir storms in and stomps over the table that her personality counterparts were siting at. At the same time she was glaring at the other coffee drinkers. She pushed Gwen out of her seat and stole Sarah's coffee from Gwen~
Sarah: Hi Sir! How was work?
Sir: glare
Sarah: That bad, huh? Sorry. Maybe you should quite.
Sir: glare
Sarah: Your right, you can't give in and you do need the money.
Sir: sigh Shut up before I have to kill you.
Sarah: ok! (happily)
~Alyssa sighed ,and Gwen got off the floor~
Gwen: GET OUT OF MY CHAIR , TEME!
Sir: Shut it, dobe.
Gwen: DON'T CALL ME A DOBE, TEME!
Alyssa: and so it begins, again. Sarah, if you could be so kind?
Sarah: Of course. Silencio!
Alyssa: So this is how to use a sheep's bladder to prevent earthquakes.
~Sir and Gwen fought silently, again, and Alyssa and Sarah spoke somewhat intellectually, again, ~
_the end?_
