UNITED
Chapter three: United once more
Rain started to pour over the tower.
"Before anything happens,I say we hit the hay" Cyborg said
"But we still have to find a place where Laarika could sleep" Robin said
"Well, find one while I will sleep!" Cyborg said all grumpy
"Me too" Raven said as they both went to their rooms.
"Oh!!! She could stay with me, my beds a double decker!"Beastboy offered
"She could sleep with me! We're both new and I need company"Kid Flash said
"Dude! YOUR SCARED!" Beast Boy teased "Wait YOU'RE SLEEPING HERE!?"Beastboy asked
"Yeah, long story!"Kid Flash said
"Guys!" Robin ended the fight"Okay, Kid Flash,"
"Yes!!!WOOHOO!" Kid Flash said happily
"Uhmm..you're staying in Beastboys room" Robin continued
"Oh..."Kid flash just said
"Ha! You're not sleeping with her! wait, your sleeping with me!?!! Robin!!!" Beastboy complained
"You said it yourself, you've got a double decker, Laarika could sleep in terras umm er- Kid's(Kid Flash) new room" RObin said "Now go to sleep!"
They all went to their respective sleeping areas.
In SHadowhawks Place...
"Monty, where have you been?" Shadowhawks Father asked
"Father, there was trouble and.."
"Monty! Do you remember why we moved here?"
"Father.I-"
"Do you?"
"Yes father, they found out..."
"Monty, If you want to stay in this city then stay out of trouble and not mind it"
"Yes Father"
"I heard he's out, we have to stay low"
"Yes Father" Shadowhawk said leaving the living room and going in her room.
'I don't understand! We cant keep hiding! Then again, We cant keep running either. I just wish I was normal. I wish I was part of the Teen Titans! I bet I'd feel normal with them...I just don't understand' Shadowhawk thought to herself
Back in the tower everyone was sleeping to the sound of rain pouring from the sky. Except one.
"Laarika!" Kid Flash and Beastboy said in unison as Laarika burst in their room dripping wet.
"What happened?"Kid Flash asked leading her to a seat
"A-a G-girl" Laarikas words were limited
"What girl?" Beastboy asked
"a-a Ghost.."Laarika said as she started to shiver even more. Kid Flash ran to the bathroom and got her a towel
"What did she look like?" Kid asked
"What did she do?" Beastboy followed
"B-blond, n-no eyes...a b-big rock..s-she threw a b-big rock at me, w-without touching it.." Laarika said as she closed her eyes trying to forget the way she looked
"Terra?" Beastboy said as he walked towards door.
'She's dead? but I thought she was alive. Breathing, living... Not dead.'
"You're probably just seeing things," Kid Flash said. "You told me Terra left you guys long ago."
Beastboy nodded his head. "Yeah... You're probably right.."
And they all went to sleep.
Morning came, and the sun rose. The stars slowly disappeared, and the clouds turned from dark blue to a yellow-pink color. Robin, as usual, woke up earlier than the other Titans. He walked to the computer and typed in a few words. "Search for: list of super-human healing girls"
On the computer screen appeared the picture of the girl from last night. He clicked on it, and a map appeared on the screen with a red blinking light located on a particular place.
'But that can't be...' Robin thought to himself.
'That's Batman's place...'
pgbr
Laarika woke up and went out to the living room. She found Robin searching for stuff.
"Hey Robin.."She greeted
"Hi, I see your knee is 'fixed'"Robin said back
"YEah, Im all better now"
"You slept with, them?"
"Yeah" Laarika said remembering last night
"Is there something wrong?" Robin asked to the sudden tone of Laarikas voice
"No, uhmm.. do you have a telephone?"
"Yeah over there" Robin pointed out
"Can I use it? I have to call my Parents.." Laarika said
"Sure...Oh, umm..Laarika, have you ever been in Keys house?" Robin asked
"Yeah, why?"
"No reason..hehe, go call you folks now!"
"Right..."Laarika said going towards the telephone
She called her Parents informing them that she'll be going home in a while. She hung up and got a piece of apaper and a pen and wrote a note to Beastboy and Kid Flash.
"Hey, Robin...I'll be on my way" Laarika said
"Oh, okay..you won't say goodbye?" Robin asked
"No, but can you give this to Kid flash and Beastboy... Please don't read...and tell Kid flash that I really appreciate him for being there for me.." Laarika said
"Oh, okay then.."Robin said as Laarika exited the tower and went back home. "Laarika, can you put your fingerprint here? this will be quick"
"Sure?"Laarika said as she put her index finger on the scanner.
"Thanks!" Robin said as Laarika left the building with one wave of goodbye.
As the titans woke up one by one, Robin told them Laarika left and he did what Laarika asked him to do. Beastboy and Kid Flash read the note:
"Guys, Please don't say anything! about last night I mean. Please..I really don't want it to spread.So promise me it won't escape your eyes, lips, brain and memory!
Thanks and, hope to see you guys again"
A few days has passed since they saw each other. There was no connections made to them or by them. It's like that night never happened. Everybody went back to their normal lives. The super heroes were being super heroes and the 'freak-shows' were going back to school. Everything was like before. The dreamers continued to dream and life just kept going on.
"Hey guys!" Rachel said to her friends
"Hey Rache! Oh! Look whos coming!" Atreca said as she saw Dan R.(Harry potter!!) come up behind Rache.
"Hey Rachel!" Dan said giving her a small kiss on the cheek
"Hey guys!" He greeted he rest
"Hey Dan!" The rest said
"So I see you guys are just here..hanging.."Dan said (No duh!)
"Yeah we are" Key said sarcastically(sp?)
"We're not just hanging, were hanging-out on the grass!" Laarika said going along with Keys sarcasim(sp?)
"Hehehe, good one, since you're just here can I steal Rachel for a while?" Dan asked
"Sure.."Atreca said
"Thanks.."Dan said as he went away from Rachels friends
"C'mon Rache" Dan said motioning his hand to come to him.
"Wait! just a sec." Rachel said as she looked at her friends
"Guys!" Rachel said
"What?"Atreca asked
"Can you guys try to be a little nice? He is like us! and he's my boyfriend!" Rachel asked
"Rache...nevermind, go enjoy your superpowered boyfriend" Key said
"Thankyou.."Rachel said ask she went off with Dan.
"You guys, you think we should really go easy on Dan.?"Atreca asked
"He is 'one of us'" Key said
"What do you think Laarika?" Atreca asked Laarika.
She wasn't paying to much attention because someone as the gate, walking was gatting her attention.
"Laarika!" Atreca asked trying to get her back in the conversation
"Oh! what? yeah..i think..we...should..."Laarika said seperately still having her eyes on the boy.
"Who are you looking at?" Key asked
"No one, he left already" Laarika said as the just kept talking.
Suddenly there was a great big shadow that went over their school.
"what the---"Atreca was cut as she saw a huge block (which was alive) heading towards their school to crush it.
"Guys!!!!" Atreca said pointing towards the big block
"OMG!!!" is what Laarika managed to say in that moment of shock.
"WHat is that THING!?!" Key pointed too as it was about to smush them into pieces.
Rachel ran back to them and said "Did you guys have anything to do with this?" Rachel asked
"RUN!!!!" Atreca said as they all ran away.
"titans GO!" Someone said from a distance
'The Titans?' Key thought
They watched the titans kick the blocks butt(If it had one? haha). Soon after that, the block was defeated and the police came and tried to arrest the block (Tried to fit him in the car)
They went out of their hiding place and looked at the remains of the fight. Laarika looked at the familiar titans. Beastboy looked at Laarika. Laarika smiled and looked away. Robin saw Key, but key wasn't looking at him.
"Lets go" Robin said to the team as they went back to the tower.
Beastboy went to the tower. He thought about what he just saw. Laarika. It's been so long. Beast boy exited the tower.
"Dude, where are you going?" Kid Flash asked catching up with him
"To Laarika" He said as he went off.
"Wait! If you're going to her, might as well give this already"Kid Flash said handing him a package.
Beastboy got it and left.
He searched for her house and asked some neighbors.
"Do you know where Sumer Laarika Savage lives?" He asked
"Umm..Im afraid we have no Sumer Laarika Savage, but there is a little 13 year old who has the same first name, except shes a Logan"The older woman said "She looks very young for her age...but she is very kind, she brings cookies for me every sunday"
Beastboy was in shock. They had the same last names...but she's a Savage...Cyborgs never wrong when it comes to those things.
"Did you want to visit her little green boy?" The Older woman asked
"Umm, yeah, where does she stay?" Beastboy asked
"3 houses from here..." She replied
"Thankyou..." Beastboy said as he went on.
He found her house. He looked at the mailbox and it said Logan.
'That is weird!' He thought to himself as he rang the doorbell.
After a few seconds, someone opened the door.
"Hi, ummm..does'Laarika Logan'live here?" Beastboy asked using her so called last name.
"G-g-gar...umm Oh, let me call her for you" Laarikas mom said in shock.
'Gar!? what the hell! no one calls me Garfield except Rita and Mento! Maybe they know each other..which means they know me!' Beastboy thought to himself as he spoke back to Mrs.'Logan'
"Uhmm..Are you Laarikas mom?"
"Yes, yes I am" She said back
"Can I talk to you?" Beastboy asked all of a sudden
"Sure, come in" Mrs. Logan invited Beastboy in
They entered then house and sat in the living room.
"Mrs. Logan...Laarika she has super powers.." "and I was wondering maybe she could stay with us! The teen titans.. she might become one, one day..." Beastboy continued "Im asking for your permission, to allow her to stay with us, I promise she'll be in good hands!"
A tear started to flow down Mrs. Logans eye.
"Umm..Mrs. Logan?" Beastboy asked wondering why she started crying.
"I know she'll be in good hands..."Mrs. Logan said smiling at Beastboy
"You're allowing her!?"Beastboy said in joy
"Only on weekends...I might miss her too much..."
"SWEET!" BEastboy said
"I'll go tell her now.."Mrs. Logan said
"Oh! um...Mrs.Logan, can you give this to Laarika...I really better go now" Beastboy remembered
"Okay.."She said as Beastboy left
"Garfield"
Beastboy left with a smile on his face. He saw the old Lady he talked with awhile ago.
"Little green boy, did you speak with the young girl?" She ased
"Yes I did! WOOHOO!!" He said walking away
"Young green teens these days!" She whisphered to herself as she watched Beastboy walk and being happy.
pgbr
Beastboy called Robin about the news. Robin asked him to do the same for the rest of them. Beastboy did as ordered.
Soon all of the girls were allowed to go to the tower. On weekends, like Laarika. All they had to do is wait.
In Keys Place...
"Key, I recieved a message from Sam that Beastboy, one of the titans asked if you could stay with them,to train" Batman, Keys uncle, said
"Oh, really!" Key said
"Yes, now I think you should really go, Robin is there, he will guide you!" Batman said
"Then I will!" Key said
"Robin is determined, skillful, and--"
"YEah, yeah and Disciplined, somehow" Key said running along
In Atrecas Place
"I can?" Atreca said in shock
"Yes dear, but please don't mention it to your father, I bet he will get really mad...so don't say anything." Atrecas mom said
"Okay, mom" Atreca said
"Atreca, this is you chance to avoid being like your father...make the most out of it!" Her mom said again
"I will mom" Atreca said as the door oppened with a large bang
"Don't day a word" Atrecas Mother said putting her finger over her lips and saying "Shh"
Atreca nodded and went straight to her room.
She Packed some clothes quietly to the sound of her Dad being evil.
