Chapter 11- Disturbia
Once fully awake, Robin helped his still fatigued girlfriend walk into main room of the med bay. The sight that caught thier attention were the Roth sisters. Raven clung to Falcon as if she were her only lifeline. Her harsh cries had turned to soft sobs as her body weakened. Seconds later, Falcon felt her sister go limp in her arms, clearly exhaused from crying. Once Raven was fast asleep in her bed, Falcon was able to slip away. She leaned on AJ for support as Robin drew closer.
"Can you tell me what happened?" he asked Falcon in a much softer voice than his normally gruff tone. Falcon took a ragged breath and began to explain.
"You remember that I...share some of Jhonen's blood, right?" Robin nodded. "Well, since Jhonen is half reaper... and i'm a half demon, Slade wanted a child... that would reap the benefits of both genetics...a super weapon. But Raven pleaded with him to spare me...and in turn surrendered to him. I begged her to reconsiter her choice, but she refused...saying it was her duty as an elder sister...and hero...so Slade couldn't have this all powerful child." Robin was shocked to the core by the mage's story.
His grip on Starfire tightened. "Is there anything else?" he asked, his voice now rough and husky. Falcon shook her head as AJ sat her down on the bed.
"You don't need to worry about anything, Richard...The boys are gonna kill him...i can feel it." her cerulean eyes refused to look into Robin's masked ones. "This sick and twisted game is almost over..."
"Normally, I would be scared, but now is not the time." Bohusk said looking down at the small girl.
"Since you will not help me, you three shall face a death just like mine." she laughed. A large curved knife appeared in her right hand. Bohusk took a fighting stance, ready to strike, but Cyborg's mechanic hand clamped down on his jacket. Yanking him out of the room while the metal man ran down the hall with Beast Boy on his heels. The three men ducked into a room not far from the one they were previously in. Once inside, the door slammed and locked on it's own. The room was just like the other one except for 3 large video screens built into the walls. Suddenly, images began to flash onto each of the 3 screens. Jhonen stared into the one on the right wall, Beast Boy was intranced by the one on the far wall and Cyborg gazed at the one on the right.
The image of a boat suddenly appeared before Garfield's emerald eyes. The changeling stood horrified as he remembered that scene. A small boy with blonde hair, peachy skin and emerald eyes clung to the mast while the storm shook and rattled the boat. His parents' screams for help peirced his heart as thier forms were drowned out of his sight by the ocean's waves.
The screen suddenly changed. This time, Beast Boy saw himself as a middle aged hermit. Much like the man Starfire had described as him, 20 years into the future. He sat alone in a cage, watching the outside world with sad eyes. Without his friends, his laughter, courage and spirit were erased. Beast Boy couldn't watch anymore. He let out a very distraught howl and clawed away at the screen, desperate for these images to leave his mind.
Cyborg wasn't fairing so well either. The first thing he saw was his last high school football game. He was the star quarterback, dating the most popular girl in the school and had a full athletic scholarship to collage. All at the tender age of 17. But his perfect world collapsed the minute the other team decided to 'dog pile' ontop of him, seeking a desperate way to win the game. Victor had sustatined injuries before, but nothing like this. With 30+ teenage boys' full body weight ontop of him, almost every bone in his body was crushed. Including some vital organs. The next thing Victor remembered was waking up and looking down to see himself covered in metalic armor.
School was completely out of the question, seeing as everyone now thought of him as a freak. His girlfriend broke his heart, stating he was nothing more than a robot...a monster. Incapable of loving anyone.
Tears now streamed down Cyborg's dark face as his heart ached at the memory. The next scene was much harder to look at. Cyborg's human half had been completely taken over by machine. His spirit overridden by chips and hard drives. A cold metal plate was locked over his real face, giving him a disturbing figure. Even his voice was computerized...nothing of his original self remained. He was nothing more than a machine. Cyborg impaled his fists into the screen in rage and fear.
Bohusk's hazel eyes looked on in total shock as he watched his father being dragged to hell by a demon. Being only 10 years old at the time, Jhonen could do nothing more than watch. His mother had died long ago and didn't have any siblings. So his father was his only family. Now that he was gone, Jhonen was alone in the world.
Most would bet that Jhonen Moore was fearless, stone cold in the face of freight and danger...but that's not true. He did his best to conceal his worst fear, but somehow, Slade knew. The projection on his screen had to be the most horrifying thing he could've imagined.
He saw himself clutching Falcon's beaten and lifeless body to his chest, sobbing harshly. All the while, Trigon stood over the two laughing demonically. The world around them laied in ruins. Liquid fire filled the bay, the once blue sky was now blood red and Jump's buildings had been turned to ash. The other Titans stood cold and lifeless as statues a few feet from him. Bohusk was the only living thing left of Earth. Trigon gave a pitiful grimace before distroying his youngest daughter and boyfriend.
The three heros tore themselfs away from the obliterated mess of the projection screens and attacked the door that kept them inside. Since it was only a wodden door with a simple lock, it was easy for the men to break down. They walked out into the errily silent hallway.
"Yo, where's the bride of Chukie?" Cyborg asked looking around, sonic cannon ready to fire.
"Dont know, dont care. All that matters now is finding Slade...and making him pay." Beast Boy growled. He sniffed the air hesitantly and covered his nose.
"There's about 5 zombies between here and Slade."
"How do you know they're zombies?" Jhonen asked.
"Only something dead could smell that bad." Jhonen only smiled wickedly before taking off in down the next hall, eager to start his onslaught.
Maiden- I'm really sorry about not updating sooner. I've been sick for the past 2 weeks, and it's really hard to get any work done when the meds youre taking puts you to sleep. R&R!
