Chapter XIV: Hello, Titans. Miss me?
A week had passed since the group started working on thier new lair. All areas save for the library and the spider lair were renewed with new tech and comfortable furniture. The bedrooms at the peek of the hideout were refurnished with each room taking a theme equal to their owner. The bar was actually opened and worked by the Servoskull, who thanks to the Techpriest got a new body made of spare part which are littered across the base. Now clothed in a butler outfit the servoskull became the tbartender who served both the Group and anybody who sought a hide away, from law or and the said Techpriest decided to share a single lab even thought they had conflicts upon whom's technological ideals are best. During the Team's exploration of the ex-temple, now their den, they found a surprising room. It was suppose to be a prayer chamber large enought to fill the room with the entire cult in past who lived in the temple. Now thanks to a gapping hole in the sealing which allowed sun and moon light to enter, life took a new presence here. Instead of the half-human priests, plants sprunged from each nook and cranny turning the room in mini-savage garden. The vine crisscrossed the sealing, trees broke the floor panels and shrubs hid the once glorious statues. The Techpriest wanted this place to be clensed and returned to its roots, but thanks to persuasion from both Garfield and the team decided to turn this in a relax room because of the calming aura eminating from here. The main area which was discovered first took the most changes. First thing the bunch did was to seal the cave entrance in case of somebody stumbling here by accident. With some material from the empty living cells The Techpriest managed to make some furniture for the platform as in a old victorian couch and a couple of easy chairs which surrounded a mini table. Raven and Stich asked by Gizmo, webbed the cabbles and power cords, connecting all tech to one controll computer so it can controll all in time of need. The control comouter was a oddity. While Gizmo created something trully awestrucking powerful machine, the Techpriest forged a frame which looked like a giant iron church organ with a screen in the middle which displayed the information as well watch movies from the couch and play Video games. While Gizmo and Gar felt the gothic skull decoration was a tad creepy, Raven only thretened that she will send them both to a other dimensions if they change it.
The changes were coming well and soon base was readdy for the teams their first job. In the deep of the night a dark shadow entered the 'devil's nest' bar. The figure entered the bar lights unveiling him. He was wearing a orange overalls with no sleeves, with a hoodie which hid his face. The new comer took a look around the bar examaning it. There were a few patrons of the pub, but only one caught his attention. It was greenskinned leen boy, sitting at the bar seeping rootbeer, Aka Garfield. He rushed over to the bar and took a seat, but said nothing. As the man sat down Garfield tossed him a hazzed look. He smugged:
-So, you came dude. Are you in?
-Yes. I need the money.- the other man said with a heavy Irish accent.-Yes, but no killings or I am turning on you.
-Heh, don't worry. I have one person who is readdy to send me to hell if I do. You can say my 'goose' 'd be cooked. Now go rest. We will call you tomorow.
The irishman nodded and left without another word exiting the bar. From inside the kitchen Gizmo came with a sandwich and took the place of the irishman.
- Ya be sure trusting of dat banana monger. Can we cruddy trust him ta do his snotty part.-The Servoskull bartender came to the midget and gave him his very own mug of root beer, while Gizmo asked Garfield.
-Yea, dude. He is desperate and his morals are like in the right place. He will not fail us.
A couple of days later in the T-tower, Robin was looking over a large chart which now included a picture of both Beast boy and Raven. He talked to him self undernose:
-Beast...Beast boy is a moron...he won't...But he did...maybe...Yes. Yes. Its all connected. Slade is brainwashing him. Slade is always at the bottom of all, but why...?
Before Robin could answer this question with more rambling the room went red and the alarm went booming. Robin as on instinct open his communicator to see the cause. As more he the more furrowed his eyebrows got. The ex-sidekick closed the communicator and gritted teeth.
-The Beast!
The three remaining three Teen Titans bursted in the Luthor Jump bank only to be met by this sight. All the hostages were in the employees lounge tied togerher, the Vault door was welded closed from the inside and in the middle of the main hall Garfield. Sitting in a beach chair with a icebox to the one side. On the other a old bulky boom box booming "welcome to the jungle" by Guns and Roses.
As he noticed Robin he smiled with a hazzed look and picked up a soda can from the ice box:
-Hey, , Nice of you join the party, I was like getting a bit lonely. Here, take a soda.- he tossed the soda can towars Robin to catch.
Robin swiped the can to the side with his staff and screamed with annoyance in his voice:
-You have nowhere to run criminal Beast. You have violated the law too many times. You are going to jail. Titans Go!
First Robin charged towards Garfield hitting hard at sitting body. The green changeling had no time to react and got tossed of his chair and flying to smash in the service desk of the bank. He lifted him self from the ground leaning on the wooden furniture piece.
-Nice hit dude. Why not take a chill pi...-Before Garfield could finish his sentence Cyborg loomed over him with speeding fist towards him and saddened expression.
Cyborg closed his eyes before his fist crashed down smashing the desk. Even after his fist smashed down Cyborg kept his eye closed not wanting to see what he did to once his best friend:
-Sorry. I never wanted to do this.- he squzed tighter his eye fighting the need to open.
A hand was placed on his shoulders. Cyborg's human eye opened to see Garfield crouching on his planted in wood hand having his on the metal titan shoulder in a brotherly way:
- The Feels, dude. So hard.
Before even Cyborg could say something, they were interrupted. Robins staff was flying sideways to hit the Greenskin teen. This time Garfield was readdy for him. Before Cyborg could have hit him earlier Garfield had mutated his muscles to resemble and take a feline features. Like before Garfield jumped with ease out of the Staff's way blow, which instead of its intended target hit Cyborg at his human side of his head with tremendous force. The machine Titan fell to the ground like sack of potatoes knocked out for the rest of the fight while Garfield jumping on the next desk which was not completely destroyed by Cyborg.
Now changling felt a bit angry, he knew he would had to fight Cyborg at some point, but that was uncalled from Robin, still he needed to do things according to plan. He took a stable pose readdy to take on his next assault. The assault never came. Robin even thought enraged kept a distance. Why?
Starfire from behind grabbed in a tight bear hug The changeling and lifted him a few feet in the air. She like Cyborg had depressed features.
-Friend Beast boy, why do you make us do such things to each other? Now please, lets go home...
-St-Star, Robin will not like that, neither will I. But besides that have you heard about jellyfish?- Garfield Interupted her.
-Fish of Jelly?
-There are some jellyfish which can totally stun people with their venom quite easily and there are no side effect besides you can totally drown if your even in shallow water. They eat their prey alive usually, gross right.
-That sounds like a Shalpnok from nuknak, but what do...Ughhhh.
Starfire suddenly started to feel numb. Her grip on Garfield disappeared and could not control her of them landed on the ground. Garfield on his legs ,star joined Cyborg on the floor stunned by the jellyfish venom secreted from The green teens skin.
When Garfield landed on the ground he felt three thing. Firstly slight pain in his legs from being dropped, the incoming Robin, and a small earthquake which meant he had to finish the fight soon.
Quickly he turned, but not to defend from Robins blow, but to take it. He took one, two, three hit stepping backward. A forth hit to the chest brought him to the ground. He raised a hand towards Robin in defeat:
-Uncle! Uncle! I give up.
Robin tossed aside his staff and lunged at Garfield. He grabbed the changeling by the jacket he wore brought him up to his knees, screaming:
- Where IS SLADE! WHERE ARE YOU HIDDING HIM! TELL ME!
Garfield was flabbergasted the least could be said. Slade? What did he had to do with all of this? Garfield was almost tempted to ask what, but this was a perfect opportunity. The green teen pointed weakly towards the vault. Robin took no time to toss him aside on the ground and rushed towards the vault which was welded tight. That was not a biggie for determined Robin chasing Slade. He pulled from his belt a high explosive batarang and toss it at the door. A large boom tour appart the reinforced iron door which fell on the ground. Robin saw only a a raw and unrefined stone wall facing him after the smoke cleared. He quickly turn a venom loaded stare to The smiling battered Garfield. The ground under both of them started to shake and before Robin could reach him he sunked in the solid ground followed by a stop to all trembling of the ground. As soin as Robin got back his compulsion the boy wonder rushed to the last location of garfield to see the floor was breached earth collum. Robin raised both his fists in the air shouting in rage in between the K,O. ed Cyborg and stunned Staarfire.
-BEAAAAAAASTTTTTTTTT BBBBOOOOOOOYYYYYY!
A couple of hours later outside the city the on the side of a cliff the Earth ripped appart into a hole large enought for a truck to enter. From the hole came out the man from last night wearing a oxygen botle and gasmask which fed oxygen to him followed by the loaded Truck driven by its creator. When they were out with a flick of his arm the Irish man sealed the hole. As he saw his work done he removed the Gas mask reveling his face. He was a ginger with a Mohawk and a trimmed goatty . The irishman marched towards the Tech ogmented truck and the backside. There he saw therest ,Raven who was healing Garfield, Stich who was just enjoying to be top side and Gizmo who was reading file while sitting on a bankbox. Garfield raised from his laying pose and offered a weak smile to unkown person.
-Awesome work dude. You rock.
-What ever, where is my cut!
Garfield pointed towards two gym sack filled with currentsy set appart from the rest. The guy wearing the Orange jumpsuit did not waste any time. He took the sacks, jumped of the truck and headed to a hidden motorcycle near by. Garfield called out:
-Hey wait up, Firefield. Don't you wanna join us for some celebratory parting? The Servo makes an awesome peanut cake.
Firefield stopped for second to give it a thought and replied without turning to face them:
-No.
With that said he drove of on his cycle back towards the city. Both Gar and Raven watch him go silently:
-Raven, Its seems you found your partypooping match.-Garfield joked.
-Don't make me undo my healing.-She said back.
Before he could reply Gizmo said shock.
-Facking Cruddy Flying snot. You got to see this...This crap is just wrong.-Gizmo said while still gawking on the file he got from the vault.
Chapter end.
