Chapter 39: Cyborg fought the Nazis and Cyborg won!
I do not own Teen Titans OR the Blues Brothers, and if you have not seen that movie this chap will make little sense to you so go watch it! ITS THE BEST MOVIE EVER AND YOUR A FOOL IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT! HELL, WATCH IT TWICE DAMNIT!
To: Gokan Suzuka. Dont cry, I mean come on... I never said he was dead, did I? Well, about the french's gas mask... American and Brittish troops used them as well in WWI. It was found that the amonia in urine countered the nerve gas the germans were using. I imagine this was done when Soldiers in trenches full of human waste found they were less harmed or unharmed as opposed to soldiers in freshly dug trenches or out in the open. A common practice, though gross, was to urinate on a cloth, sock, or anything you could attatch a strap to, and strap it to your face (hopefully with another cloth between it and your mouth). By WWII charcoal masks were available, more efficient and less gross, though I wouldnt be surprised if the french still used the old urine method. For WWI it was excuseable, given gas was a new weapon, but the french appearantly dont learn from past mistakes and stuck with the old urine masks (Doubts they even washed them between wars). Oh yeah, you can use that 'kind' of vampires. Alot of people have written about ones that don't kill, but the houkounin idea is mine, PLEASE don't use it for a D&D fic. Wouldnt you rather write a nice, interesting Inu Yasha or GW fic? Tell ya, I would love if someone wrote a GW Duo x Hilde fic with this... (cough cough cough) if only... (nudge nudge hint frickin hint man!)
To: Von Rhottenstein. I like that name. It sounds German. And its Blackfire, and she dealt with this by drinking bleach. Dealing with being a vampire, i guess thats what you meant. She's going to deal with it very well, and we'll begin to see a bit of a new Blackfire develop. This is going to bring about a Blackfire that likes laughing in the dark.
To: Chikidoo. Come on, you should know why I put that there. I stacked the odds so high against him that it wasnt your normal is he or isnt he dead, and i didnt want anyone to stop reading this because i had killed him because i didnt really. And COME ON ITS NOT LIKE I'D GIVEN ANYTHING AWAY YOU ALL KNOW I'D NEVER KILL HIM ANYWAY! And the next vamp in the story will deff not be cyborg, no... We're going to have another OC introduced.
To: Peace 215. (Sigh) I'm not REaLLY from cohoes. I'm actually from Troy, and i spent alot of time in cohoes, and cohoes is the nicer of the two so i thought i'd just tell a little white lie (so ashamed)... Oh well, doesnt matter. Both towns are dumps, and I deficate upon them! I dont live there anymore, not for many many years.
To: Teentitansfan87. Alright, you knew he wasnt dead. See everyone, this guy knew I couldnt kill him off because I have just WAY too much fun with him.
To: Wraithking. All terriers suck, so I dont think you offended something. So, a math question: If some dogs are terriers and all terriers are shits, then some dogs must be: A. Shits. B. Annoying, yappy, and need to be stepped on. C. The answer to hunger in asia! D. All of the above.
To: Everyone. IMPORTANT READ DO NOT GO PAST THIS! I am joining the army and reporting for BT feb17. I'm going to be gone about 15 weeks after that date, so I ask for your patience. Once in Advanced Induvidual Training I will have a computer again, and by that time alot of ideas to keep this story going. I'm sorry about the wait, but this is something I have to do. If I believe in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan I should be willing to go fight it myself, and thats what I intend to do.
Almost a month come and gone since the funeral. Life at the tower was just that, life, the occupants learned to cope and lived on. Raven was perhaps the only one not to accept that Beast Boy was gone, refusing to even utter the words. Life here was almost back to normal, save for the loss of the green wonder. After someone dies everyone tells each other that the deceased would want them to be happy, and live full lives without remorse. Most people cant do that, but getting over things was a must if you wished to work the super hero bracket.
Things may not have been good, but they could have been worse. They were getting better as the pain of loss faded, replaced with a feeling of fond rememberance of theyre friend. Blackfire had changed much, now immortal, and without a shred of anger for any living thing. She no longer had an ounce of malice for her sister, and the two had grown closer. Jinx secretly entertained plans to join the titans, figuring it was the least she could do to pay back the boy who gave his life for her, but Starfire she suspected would have none of that, preffering to keep her safe out of harms way.
Robin and Cyborg sat together at a police auction, having been bored and wanting to get out. They figured going to auction could be fun, perhaps they could buy one of the drug smuggling cars they had turned over over the years. Cyborg flipped through a pamphlet of what was available and grimaced. "Yo Rob I don't think we can get any cars here that someone hasnt been whacked in the back seat of. Look at all these, drug running, drug running, and... OH! My favorite, vehicular homicide and a couple of drive by shooting cars." In the background an auctioneer rattled off numbers faster than either teens could keep up with.
"What a bust." Robin agreed.
"Alright folks." Came the voice of the auctioneer. "We have one extra thats not on the books, a last minute deal! What we have here is a car you would call broken in, fully restorable! Lets start the bidding at five hundred for a 1974 Dodge Monaco. Its got cop tires cop brakes, cop suspension cop motor and cop chasis. Its a 440, and a model made before catalytic convertors so it should run good on regular gas!"
"WHAT?" Came the voices of the titans high up in the bleacher. A 1974 Monaco? Robin thought. Thats the same model and year as the blues mobile! They watched in rapture as a loud clunky monaco was driven up onto the stage. It didnt sound so bad, for a 74. Robin and Cyborg began to drool. "We must have that car!" They said together. The bidding began and the car quickly bid up to four thousand. It appeared there were other fans of that movie in the crowd. Robin stood up, looking for the high bidder. Several rows down from him he spotted the fiend. It was control freak!
"Five thousand!" Yelled Robin. In his belt was a credit card his mentor had given him for emergency use only, but be damned if this wasnt an emergency! He couldnt let such a fine treasure go to the peckerhead with a remote control!
"Grrr! Robin! We meet again!" Shouted Control freak, having spotted him. "Six!" He shouted to the auctioneer.
"Seven!"
"Eight!"
Robin growled under his breath. He was NOT leaving this auction without that car! He imagined his Mustang was going to have fits of jealousy, but for this car the big red devil could deal with it. "Ten!" He shouted, and reached for his belt. If control freak didnt stand down, he was going to make him lay down. Control Freaks shoulders slumped in defeat.
"Damnit, my mom only gave me nine." He said, on the verge of tears. An uproarous fit of laughter came from the crowd of other auction goers and the bid ended. Robin and Cyborg did a victory dance. The car was all theres! As they were doing the victory dance the car on the stage began to smoke under the hood, the engine sputtered, banged, and died. Robin and Cyborg went pale faced.
"Well now, remember folks by placing your bid your entering a legally binding contract. You can pay for your car over by the snackstand." The auctioneer said, and changed the tone of his voice to something a little kinder. "Now if ya'll would be so kind as to push your heap off the stage I'd be much obliged." The titans on the bleachers face vaulted.
Blackfire leaned back from Kali panting. Whenever she fed blood drove her so high she kept forgetting to breath even. Kali held her close and kissed the last traces of blood from her lips as she brushed her daughters bangs out of her eyes. She kissed her forehead, leaving the slightest trace of her blood. Blackfire stood on her own again, and left her embrace, heading for the other side of the room. "I feel like its always been this way." She said, sitting in her chair. "If I knew what this was like, I would have thrown myself into it the first night you chased me." She laughed at how distant the memory seemed.
"You are what you were made to be." Kali said. She ran a hand through her own hair, fixing how Blackfire had messed it. "You know you have quite the name now? First your the only mortal ever at one of the concerts of Beethoven, present for the destruction of Marcus, and now the first offspring of me." She laughed a little, and gave Blackfire an insane look. "Its created quite an uproar, you know. Most were thinking I'd never make one of my own and take in strays forever."
Blackfire placed her feet against the wall and kicked the chair up onto two legs, balancing it perfectly. She had found she could do it on one leg too, but that almost took conentration. "Kali can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Why are there so few male vampires?" Kali looked at her skeptically, as if she were crazy just for asking.
"Don't you know?"
"Nope."
If giving her the dark gift had been giving birth, this was explaining the facts of life to her. "Blackfire, have you noticed you have not had your cycle?" Blackfire looked offended at the mention of this but Kali put up her hand. "Let me explain, your sister went through this too. You won't have it again, ever. You will never bear children, I dont know why, but its just the way it works. Males however continue to be fertile after changing, and often have a habbit of laying with mortal women. If they conceive a child it grows up to be a vampire some time in mortal maturity, like Raven did. Males are less responsible, its been found, and often make more children than they should. So, ages before my own birth it was decided that for every nine women given the gift only one male should."
"Or else the world may become overpopulated with vampires, and the populous learn of theyre existance?" Blackfire asked skeptically; and to think on her homeworld the problem was with underpopulation.
"Exactly. Understand, my own creator was a vampire by his fathers heritage, and was taken in by one who took in 'strays' like myself." Blackfire looked up at her, realizing something.
"And thats why you never made one before me, you just took in others like your fathers teacher." Kali smiled and nodded her head.
"Exactly, I admired his father, from what he told me of him, and I wasnt exactly willing to tear my chest open." Blackfire was catching on quickly. It pleased Kali, but then the conversation took a wrong turn.
"But in this day on this planet, why should we be kept secret? They have all sorts of meta-humans running around. Why shouldnt we walk in the light with pride for what we are?" Kali was grinding her teeth at this and becoming distressed, but Blackfire didnt notice. "We're more powerfull than them, so why do we hide?"
"Blackfire thats enough! They think we are evil and will try to destroy us, it has always been that way." Blackfire shook her head, doubting Kalis words. "Oh? In seventeen ninety two I saved a girl who fell out of a high window by floating up to catch her. Do you know what happened? Even though I did good they tried to burn me, I was shot several times even making my escape."
"Times here have changed! Humans have become the death of the very god they claim to believe in, there is no evil to them anymore in this secular age. Evil is an outdated term to them, a man who kills children isnt evil anymore, he's seen as a victim himself of a bad childhood. Criminals are coddled and patted on the back. Man believes he has become greater than god, and refuses to believe in anything greater than himself such as god because he cannot see him! They can believe in us because they can see us. We can give them something to believe in."
Kali seemed to shrink away, her hair falling over her eyes and a dark chuckle eminating from her chest. "So what? So they can worship us as gods?"
"No! So that they can see what we are and we won't have to hide what we are."
"Impossible."
"Why?"
"Your right. Man in this day has no god, there is only science to him. That being so, we are so incredible that no scientist on earth would believe in us unless he has seen our cells for himself under a microscope. We would have to prove to the masses what we are, and do you know what we would cause in doing so?"
"No, what?"
"A religious revolution! They would return en masse to the churches they once thought irrelevent and pray to the gods they no longer believed in, and turn around and try to slay us. And the whole time they would pray to him for forgiveness, and for strength to destroy the demons in front of them, namely us."
Blackfire blew it off. She didnt accept Kali's prediction. "No, I dont accept that. Why didnt they exterminate all meta humans then?"
"Meta humans don't feed off of them while they sleep." Kali said darkly.
"So?"
"Blackfire, I know what you say makes perfect sense to you, but please, believe me, it can never be." Kali took a deep breath. She was getting angry, and fast. Blackfire had talked about this a few times now, but refused to accept that vampires had to remain hidden. Blackfire still looked like she wanted to argue, but Kali knew something that would settle this once and for all. "So you don't think they will fear us?"
"No, of course not!"
"Then why Blackfire, why were you so scared of your sister, myself, and Raven when you found out what we were? You were terrified of what I was, admitt it." This quieted Blackfire some, but Kali could see that this was not the last she would hear of this issue with her. "The only reason I wasnt terrified of Amadeo when he revealed himself to me is because I loved him like a father before I found out. You cant make everyone love you." Kali let her voice soften, she had won, for now. She picked Blackfire up off the chair and held her close. "There is alot going on in our world now Blackfire, we have elders again. If you were to try and reveal yourself Blackfire I am sure they would act against you."
"Elders?"
"Yes, we have not had elders in some time now. Every time the oldest among us tried to form a governing body Marcus would destroy him, but with him gone several have taken up the challenge. There are many things going on. For one as young as you drawing attention to yourself would be bad right now." The elders she spoke of were no one she knew. There were four of them, all more than twice her age but still a good deal younger than Marcus.
"Alright, I'll behave myself. I just dont understand why the powerfull should hide from the weak." A tender moment was shared, but was disturbed whe Raven entered the room. She looked slightly irritated, she opened her mouth to speak but was disturbed by noise from below in the garage. It was Robin and Cyborg.
"Lets get this engine out." They heard Robin yell. His voice was followed by Cyborgs. "Alright let me get my engine removing tool." Cyborgs voice was followed by the sound of his sonic cannon and an explosion as something large and made of metal could be heard bouncing around the garage.
"I was just coming to tell you, they have a new toy." Ravens eyebrow twitched as what they could only assume was an engine bounced one last time before settling somewhere. "And Kali, your bear needs to be fed, walked, bathed, and so do the twins. Its your turn." An unpleased look crossed Kalis face. She had not been forced often to take care of the bear, or the twins. As if on que the cloud of dust which consisted of the brawling twins and the bear zoomed into the room and sucked her in before exiting again. He protests were heard far down the hall.
Down below in the garage Robin and Cyborg stood above the now empty engine compartment of theyre car. "Well, thats one way to get it out." Robin said. "Now what do we replace it with?" Cyborg shrugged, and Robin turned to thinking.
"I was hoping you had some idea about what to toss in. You go find a new motor while I make this thing up like the Blues Mobile." Cyborg turned towards the tool chests. "Yeah, I do the body work, you get the engine, Beast Boy, you go find me some-." Cyborg caught himself, realising what he was saying and his shoulders sagged. He sighed, and his lips turned upwards in something like a smile. "You know, this just doesnt seem right without him, does it?" Robin laughed a little.
"I know, he got us all into that movie." Robin leaned against the car and shook his head. "I can almost hear him here with us, this is just something the three of us would be working on together. I can just see it if he was here, how we would have sat in the car and let him push it home as an elephant or something, and we'd never hear the end of it from him." Cyborg laughed fairly hard at this. "I'm gonna go find an engine, I'll be back." Robin walked out of the garage, intent of finding Raven.
Miles away from the tower in the junk yard Johnny Rancid was hard at work on his latest creation. It was a large engine, a ten cylinder pig he himself had created. He was going to use it in his next attack on the titans, which would be soon. Johnny wiped the sweat from his brow and set down his wrench. "Oh yeah! Now thats a big engine, for a big man!" He kissed the polished steel surface before turning around to a nearby workbench where his lunch sat. "Big man needs a big engine, he also needs a big sandwich!" As he picked up his sandwich he heard a noise behind him. A black hole opened up in his wall, his engine was encassed in black energy and sucked through. He set his lunch down and turned around just as the portal closed up. "What the fuckin hell!" He screamed and looked to see if his engine had fallen off the other side of the bench to see if his engine fell. It had not. While he was frantically searching another portal opened up on the other bench, and the plate with his sandwich on it fell through as it closed up again. "My lunch!" He screamed when he saw it was also missing.
Back at the tower Robin munched on the sadwich as Raven lowered the engine into the car. "Thanks for the lunch." He said through a mouthfull. Cyborg was laughing his head off imagining the look on Rancids face.
"This is stealing, you know that right?" Raven asked.
"I see it as crime prevention, seeing as he was just going to use it to evil ends. We just launched a pre-emptive strike- the sandwich was stealing though. I'll be plauged with guilt for the rest of my life!" Laughed Cyborg as he ate his half. Lance the bear came running through, alone, and fast enough to bowl Cyborg over. When he got up he noticed his half of the sandwich was gone.
"Get back here!" Kali yelled, following close behind him and looking more dishevled than they had ever seen her. Robin laughed at Cyborgs misfortune. All was quiet for a moment, but then the twins came running through, hot on Kali's trail. They knocked Robin over, and he got up to realize his half of the sandwich was gone as well. He grumbled about it as Cyborg laughed at him.
"Thanks for the lunch!" They heard Lightening yell. Thunder could be heard laughing out on the island with him, Kali, and Lance. Robin closed the garage door.
"What goes around comes around." Chided Raven as she set the engine down in place. Robin and Cyborg ignored her and dove in with tools, connecting things she didnt know the names for. Though she hated to admit it she liked this car already, she was a fan too! "Let me know when its done." She told them, and left up through the stairwell. When she was out of sight of the boys she reached inside her cloak and pulled out her own piece of the sandwich -one she had neglected to tell her friends about, not wanting to be out of charecter around them- and munched on it happily. Who ever said she couldnt be a little mischevious too?
Kali had finally caught Lance and hauled him back into the tower to the bathtub. Now she was vigorously scrubbing away at him with the twins watching her from behind. This was just horrible; why should she, Kali, do chores? She muttered about how ungratefull everyone was in this day and age, and shuddered at the thought of having to do the twins after Lance. Yep, it was too bad she had to do two seperate baths. Or did she? "Oh boys." She said. They looked up from whatever trouble they were getting into by the counter near her cape.
"Yeah?"
"What?"
"How would you both like to help me clean Lance? It'll be fun." Theire eyes lit up and they dove into the tub with Lance, effectively cleaning themselves in the process. Kali got up, deeming this a job well done. She put her cape back on, and strolled out of the bathroom. She didnt see the crude graffiti on the back of it proclaiming she was a 'doody head' written in one of Jinx's old lipsticks.
Kali made her way down to the garage, eager to see what Cyborg and Robin were working on. She watched them for a few minutes as the connected the engine and got it running before shutting the hood and turning to the body work. A little time passed by and it started to seem like they were not doing a good job, they were being quite sloppy. "What are you doing?" She asked.
"We're painting it up to look like the Blues Mobile." Answered the man-machine.
"The what?"
"You know, the Blues Brothers, that movie John Belushi was in before he died." It was Robin this time. He was using a hammer to create bumps on the car where they were in the movie.
"John Belushi? Dead?" Kali laughed. "You silly mortals, and I suppose you think Elvis is really dead too?" Kali laughed harder, and doubled over as her sides felt like they were going to split. "And you probably believe that the worlds flat too, or that the sun revolves around the earth?"
"JOHN BELUSHI'S ALIVE?" Demanded the teens.
"Depends on how you define 'alive'."
"And Elvis really does fly around the deep south in a U.F.O.?" Asked Robin.
"If you ask the right red-necks durring happy hour, then yeah." Kali turned and left the room, unsure as to why the boys were laughing so hard.
It took several hours, but considering what they were doing they made good time. By six oclock the old monaco was made up just how they wanted it and ready to drive, thanks to the contribution of Johnny Rancid. Robin and Cyborg stood back admiring the work they did. Still, something felt unfinished. Next to him Robin squirmed in a way that made him think his leader was thinking the same thing. "It just doesnt feel done man."
"I know. Theres just something missing." Robin knew what it was. It was Beast Boy. The project had gone flawlessly, no mess ups or anything, because Beast Boy wasnt there. He scratched his head, trying to think of something that would put him at ease over it. "Damn, if he were here what would he do?"
"Open the door into your mustang and ding your paint?"
"Other than that, but close."
"Glue his hand to his forehead with the epoxy we used to put the mirrors back on?"
"Again, close."
Cyborg wracked his brain trying to figure out something that would make it feel right, and then it hit him. "We have the interior all nice lookin, right?"
"Of course. Steamed the hell out of it."
"Now if BB were here, don't you suppose he'd have spilled somethin in the back?" Slowly Robin turned to face him, nodding his head. That was exactly it. The teens were about to spill some motor oil on the back seat to make the car complete when the communicators went off. Robin flipped his open to check on the sitution while Cyborg pulled it up in his mind.
"What the hell?" Cyborg said as he read over the info. Appearantly the nazi party was marching and having a demonstration and the titans were being asked to go protect them from the outraged citizens. "They really expect me to protect those scumbags?" Cyborg shouted.
"It is what we do." Robin said. A light bulb seemed to go off above the heads of them both at the same time and they looked at one another, the car, and one another again. Slowly big grins spread over both there faces.
"I gotta say, the scene where they drove the nazis into the water was my favorite."
"My thoughts exactly." Robin flipped his communicator open to let the others know they better get there movie clothes on. Oh, this was going to be good. Being such fans of the movie they didnt feel they could do this without the proper clothing. They quickly grabbed Raven and Starfire, who also changed. They all looked heavenward as they got into the car, Cyborg driving. "Think he's behind all this somehow? This is just too big of a cooincidence, my moneys on grass stain doing this." Robin laughed in agreement, there was no other explanation.
"We're on a mission from Beast Boy!" He cried, and they laughed insanely as they pulled out of the garage and headed for the nazi march. Starfire let out a happy squeel, the first any had heard from her in too long. Even Raven smiled at hearing her laugh. Starfire bounced in place in her seat, returning to her normal giddy self. Robin turned and looked back at the two of them.
"Alright, Star, you know what we are doing right?"
"We are going to harrass the evil men who worship the other evil man with the mustache?"
"I'd like to think we're just clearing a road block." Raven added.
"Bingo. Star, we're gonna need you to do something for us later. We are technically breaking the law, we might get chased. Can you lift this car?"
"Yes."
"Good, what I'm gonna want you to do is tear through the floor and lift by the frame, got it?"
"Yes friend Robin. I will make the car fly much like in the movie."
Cyborg whooped as he took a sharp turn. He was going to ram this big black car right up those nazi's asses. In his mind he saw an online map of Jump city. He had to be carefull to coordinate it so his car reached them just as they went over one of the bridges in the city. He did the calculations in his head and set his course. To get onto the road he had to be on he had to break through a road block. The flimsy saw-horses broke into shreds under his bumper, and the cops at the intersection made no attempt to stop them. Now he was driving on the parade route, and there were people lined on either side of the street booing and protesting. Starfire waved to a few. "Here we are guys!" He said as the car came to a stop in front of the bridge he needed. The nazi parade was coming up over it. The leader stopped and began shouting into a loud horn.
"Move your car! This route has been reserved for the use of the White Peoples Socialist Movement!" Cyborgs car didnt move, so he turned to his followers and began making a speech about how jews were using the blacks as muscle against whites. Cyborg began revving the engine, and the people on the sidewalks cheered. "Hail Hittler! The immortal leader of our race!" The crowd booed and the marchers salluted.
To Cyborg it didnt seem like anyone recognized them. A few other fans of the movie noticed what was going on, but not everyone. He dropped the car into gear and it rocketed foward. "Here we go!" The car sped up onto the bridge and the nazis stood at attention. Cyborg floored it, the engine noise became deafening. When he was only a few feet from them the nazis scattered over each side of the bridge and dropped to the water a few dozen feet below. The crowd cheered as the car came over the other side of the bridge. The titans all cheered, thoroughly enjoying the little reinactment. Starfire waved to all the people and Raven shook her head while Robin and Cyborg laughed like idiots in the front.
Back at the bridge the nazis were pulling themselves up out of the water, the parade ruined for them, and now the people were throwing dog feces at them, no doubt appropriated from the park only a few feet away. The leader, a tall man with white hair grabbed his sputtering vice officer. "You get that cars license plate!" He shouted at the shorter man. "We're gonna kill that son of a bitch."
"That was most glorious friends!" Shouted Starfire from the back seat. "Look at how happy everyone is!"
"I'm with Star on this one. We have to do that again some time." Raven looked behind them. No cop was even bothering to chase them, some even waved. On the dash Robins communicator began picking up police communications.
All cars be on the lookout for a 1974 dodge sedan. Crackled the voice of a dispatcher. Last seen heading east on west street. The titans listened and heard many dozens of interceptors responding on the radio.
Come again come again, your breaking up. We cant hear you. The driver of another car was having more fun bullshiting the dispatcher, getting creative. 1974 dode mini-van heading west on east, got it. Yet another response came from an even more clever member of the police. I need backup at the bridge fast! The nazi's broke local laws against bridge jumping, and I need help arresting them all. The police swarmed to the location of the bridge instead of chasing after Cyborg and arrested the nazis for breaking local laws against base-jumping without a permit. It was a bad day to be a nazi, but then again, no day is a good day to be.
"So, not only do they get humiliated and wet but they get arrested for jumping off the bridge. I like that." Said Raven. Cyborg was still laughing, trying to see if there were any other nazi demonstrations in the area on the internet while he drove.
"Not every day we get to squash a bunch of nazis." Robin said. Starfire bounced more in her seat, happy for the excursion to foil the plans of the swastika men.
"Friends we must have the pizza of celebration to commemorate this occasion!" Next to her Ravens lips curled up in a semi-smile.
"No thanks. I'm not hungry."
"Hey guys! Guess who knows where theres an open draw bridge!" Cyborg said in a manic voice. Everyone stared at him worriedly.
"I'm out." Raven said and shrank into the shadows of the back seat. Robin looked around for an escape route, but Cyborg locked the door. "Raven you coward!" He yelled. Starfire in the back seat began to look a little nervous.
"Friends, what is going on?"
"Cyborg, lets not do this. You'll regret it if you jump the car and miss, come on." Cyborg let out an insane laugh and Robin tried the door handle a few times. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead as the bridge came into sight. "Cyborg! No! This is nuts!"
Because the author is a jerk-off and a meanie we now cut to the next scene five minutes from now. Rest assured the skipped events were simmilar to the famous scene in E.T.
"MAN!" Said Robin. "That was awesome!" The car was now speeding towards the tower, and Cyborg was laughing so hard he was crying with his human eye.
"Yes." Agreed Starfire. "Anyone who did not witness the great jump will surely wish to end theire own lives."
"Man that was cool! Why's Rancid a villan? He could make more money selling his engine designs than he could ever get from a bank." Cyborg began to laugh, but as if on que the car sputtered and died. He checked the dash board and found they were out of fuel. "Oh not cool!" He complained. "Now we gotta push it the last mile to the tower."
Starfire let herself out the back and floated into the air. "I am sorry friends but I do believe I hear Jinx calling. Yes, she is in great perril and needs my help." She lied. She didnt give them any time to respond before flying off towards the tower.
Robin and Cyborg stared each other down, eyes narrowing. This was now a battle of wit and speed. Two words formed on the tip of theyre tongues and they shouted out: "NOT IT!" Cyborg was slightly faster, and began to do a victory dance in his seat while Robin cursed and punched the dash.
"Damnit! Come on its my car and I let you drive!" Cyborg sighed, and they agreed to share the burden of pushing the car to the tower.
It was almost dark out by the time Robin and Cyborg pushed the car up to the island. Once on the island the retractable bridge lowered itself into the water, waiting until it was needed once again. They were still laughing. "Man Beast Boy woulda loved this." Cyborg said.
"Yeah, I know." They stopped to rest and sat on the back bumper. "Its something we'll never get used to." Robin and Cyborg turned around as they heard every piece of glass in the higher part of the tower shatter. They took off running for it, trying to figure out what was wrong. They quickly made there way up into the top level, when Raven collided with Robin on the landing. Cyborg caught them both and set them down. Raven was visibly shaken.
"Whats wrong?" Robin asked. A shriek was heard from further inside. He shook Raven slightly but she was just staring into space.
"He's here! He's here!" It was all she could say. Robin set her down and together with Cyborg they went running into the kitchen area, and looked at who was sitting at the table.
"Oh my god." Robin said and stumbled backwards. "It cant be."
"Its impossible, I dont believe it." Cyborg fell to his knees, all the energy leaving him. "It just can't be."
In the basement, where Blackfire had moved her room to, far away from the commotion upstairs Kali was having another talk with Blackfire. The girl was pushing her buttons, asking many questions she did not need the answers to, such as who her creators natural father was. It irritated Kali to no end, partially out of shame and also just her secretive nature. "Thats enough Blackfire." She droned. Kali flipped up onto the celing and began walking on it, as if gravity had completeley reversed for her- which it had. She did this to get away from Blackfire, not wanting the conversation to continue.
"No, thats not enough. I know you know, and I just want to know my new blood line. Who was Amadeo's birth- father?"
"That is a closely guarded secret Blackfire, I'd ask that you not continue this line of questioning."
"No, no, your hiding something from me. Something I want to know. Who was his father?"
Kalis shoulders slumped. She hated to admit it, but Blackfire was her daughter now and deserved to know. She looked down at Blackfire, pleading with her eyes for the youngling to stop this. She did not. "Are you sure that you want to know?"
"Positive, now who was it?"
"He was the son of a woman raped by Marcus Agustus." Kali let it sink in. "So you understand, he, you, and I are descendants of the monster we fought. That is where Amadeo got his power, and then I from he and you from me. You understand now why I wanted to keep that from you."
It hit Blackfire a little hard, but she remembered her sister was created by the same monster. Starfire could not hide it, and it might one day earn her scorn from other immortals, but she and Kali could. "Did Marcus know you were his grand-daughter?"
Kali huffed on the ceiling. "Perhaps on some level, but then again perhaps not. Its possible in the fight he may have gone easy on me subconciously, in that he broke my hip but didnt tear my leg off when he was more than capable." Kali paced on the ceiling, becomming agitated with the thought of Marcus. "This remains a secret, you understand? Starfi-" Kali was interupted by Blackfires communicator. It didnt go off often and Blackfire had to fumble with it to get it to open. Robins paniced face appeared on the screen.
"Blackfire get up here! We have a situation."
Cliffie... There. Chap is complete. I figured I'd make a goofy one for the fun of it, seeing as I'm going away soon. I'll be gone about 15 weeks people but I promise you I will not abandon the fic. I might even post once more before I go off to basic training. Well, now we'll have a few chapters in which the nazi's are after the titans, which should be cool. I just love doing blues brothersish stuff with the titans, and anyone who's seen the movie knows why. I'm stuck now trying to figure out if theres a way I could give Robin and Cyborg a mission from god, to like save an orphanage or something.
When I'm back or before I go I promise you this:
1. We will have Nazi car chases that will rock.
2. More Romance between our two couples
3. More Robix
4. A new MALE vamp that isnt a bad guy. (OC)
5. A new romantic couple
6. A resolution to Shinagami. (theres a good reason I've been leaving him out)
7. A christmas special, in which the titans celebrate Christmans and Halloween at the same time due to the fact that BB was absent for the real Halloween.
8. Possibly a side-series in which Robin and Cyborg get a mission to track down some criminals, and save an orphanage. (Guess which car they will take)
