Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans!
Mwahahahahahaha! I'm feeling a lot better now, so I'm a tad bit happy. So it's time for me to expend some pent up energy.
ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter 11
Lifting his staff, a bright light came out of the crystal star on top of his staff. "If that's the case, please follow me. There's someone who'd like to see you."
The Observer started off down the hall and the four Titans glanced at each other before following. Each one hoping that they weren't walking into a trap.
"Please don't be alarmed." Cass said, reading their emotions. "Believe it or not, I'm actually trying to help you."
Robin blinked in surprise. "Sorry." He said. "It's just that we haven't really gotten the feeling that there would be anyone here who'd want to help us."
"Yeah, dude." Beast Boy said nodding. "Everyone here either hates us or wants to use us in some creepy experiment."
Cass gave a small chuckle. "Believe me, Beast Boy. Hate is beyond most Observers. There are only a small few that can actually comprehend such an emotion."
"Like you." Raven suddenly said, causing everyone to turn their attention to her in surprise.
"Friend Raven, what do you mean?" Starfire asked innocently. "He is an Observer is he not? I thought that Observers could not do the 'feeling'."
"You're right, Starfire." Raven agreed. "But ever since we met I've felt emotion coming from him." She turned her attention to Cass. "You're not like the other Observers are you."
Cass looked at her with an interested look in his eye. "Well, well, well. It seems like I've been caught." He said idly. Turning back around, he started leading them down the hall again. He walked in silence for a moment before saying, "You're right, Raven. I'm not like the others. When Alistor first returned here from Earth, we could all tell that his stay there had changed him. He had feelings. And he tried to teach the rest of us about them." He gave a small laugh. "Nobody took him seriously. After all, feelings were unnecessary. They got in the way of our jobs. But I found them…interesting." He placed his free hand over his heart. "I listened to what Alistor had to say and then, slowly, I began to grow feelings of my own." He looked at the Titans sadly. "Unfortunately, I have to hide my emotions. Otherwise I'll be banished just like Alistor was."
The Titans listened in silence. Until Robin said, "You know he hasn't just been banished don't you."
Cass just kept on walking and whispered, barely loud enough to hear, "Yes."
"Then please," Starfire said, "why do you not help him."
"I can't." Cass said with a touch of frustration in his voice. "He broke the law and committed a serious crime. There's nothing I can do. No matter how much I want to help, I can't." He stopped in front of a door and turned to knock. "But there is someone who can."
After the knocking, Cass opened the door and led the Titans inside. The room wasn't like anything they expected. The room was much larger than the one they were given. The walls were lined with books and on one side of the room was a simple bed. Directly in front of them was a red armchair that had its back to them and blocked the view of a roaring fireplace.
"Ah, welcome." A voice said. A figure sitting in the armchair sat up and turned to face the Titans.
"Please make yourselves comfortable." Ebenezer said joyfully. "It seems we have a bit of talking to do.
Back at Titans Tower
Cyborg was grumbling to himself as he hammered away at the broken wall.
After Kole shot the blast to create a giant hole in the wall, Cyborg had lost it and kicked Titans East out of his Tower before they could so much as blink. After that, he turned his rage on Kole and the others. Kid Flash made some kind of speedy excuse to leave then quickly grabbed Jinx and ran as fast as his legs could carry him away from the angry Cyborg. Once they were gone, Kole tried to make an apology, but Cyborg cut her off. He simply pointed at the door and the two Honorary Titans quickly left before he did something more drastic.
"Stupid team." He grumbled applied some more drywall. "First the T.V. was busted, then the wall was blasted open, and not to mention that someone crushed my Game Station." He growled in frustration and yelled, "Is there any possible way that this day can get any worse!"
As if answering his question, there was a sudden, "Hoowee!" There was an explosion that ripped open a fresh hole in the wall Cyborg was just working on and as he watched, the Hive Five jumped into the room.
"You've gotta to be kidding me!" Cyborg yelled angrily. "I just got done fixing that!"
"Well lookie here boys." Billy crowed. "Looks like we got ourselves a lone Titan."
"What are you doing here, Numerous?" Cyborg asked, taking out his sonic cannon. "You've got a lot of nerve busted into my Tower like this."
"We're just checking things out." See-More said with a grin. "The entire city's talking about it. The rest of your team is gone somewhere and you're having trouble with the Honorary Titans that came to help."
"Yeah, you crud-munching tin can." Gizmo said with a laugh. "Why else would they all be wondering around the city without you?"
"They don't seem all that disciplined." Mammoth noted with a smile.
"I don't want to be hearing that from you, Mammoth." Cyborg growled. "Now get your butts out of my Tower before I kick em out. And if you were gonna break in," he pointed at Kyd Wykkyd, "why couldn't you have just teleported in?"
'More fun this way.' Kyd Wykkyd signed.
Cyborg steamed before saying, "That's it! Time to open a can of butt whoop!"
"I'd like to see you try." See-More said cockily. "Hive Five, attack pattern Beta!" At the signal, all Five of the villains jumped away from the wall. See-More and Kyd jumped to the left while Billy and Mammoth jumped to the right. But while Cyborg was busy watching them, he didn't notice Gizmo jumping into the air behind him.
"Take this you pit sniffer nimrod!" The tech genius said gleefully. Reaching into his pack, he pulled out a small device and slapped it onto Cyborg's back.
"What the?" Cyborg said. But before he could get out anymore, the device started beeping and his arms and legs stopped working, causing him to fall to the floor. "Hey get this thing off of me you little snot!" Cyborg growled angrily.
"Yeehaw!" Billy crowed triumphantly. "That was easier than robbing a candy store."
"Oh yeah!" See-More agreed. "Now let's tear this place apart!"
Bwahahahahahaha! I couldn't resist bringing the villains back in! What can I say, they're fun to write with. :)
Truth be told, there was a guest reviewer that asked me to include the villains in this story. And I was going to do it even if it killed me!
What does Ebenezer want with the Titans? And what's going to happen to Cyborg and the Tower? Next time in Chapter 12!
Remember to make me happy by reviewing!
