Hello dear readers just to publish the disclaimer that I do not own any TT characters and to say that this will be a Gizmo and Stich centric story:
Chapter XVI: Freaks
Gizmo was sitting in the shared lab, working on his newest laser. That heist money from a few days ago was well spent well in aiding reinforce their security and add a little comforts to the lair. A pool table for pub and electronic dart board. Still the there were much to buy by Gizmo's estimations.
Through the doors Beast boy entered the room. He wore abrown longer coat and a turned in his mobile chair seat and smurked:
-Where are ya going butt brain. To flash somebody in the park.
-Nah,dude. Overseas.-he came closer to him an set on the work tabl with a face which had a lot on its mind- But thats not why I came.
Gizmo turned again to face BB with a concerned look.
-I want you to spent some time with Stich...-Garfield said with a straight face.
-Uhhhh?-Gizmo became confused.
-You see dude, she might be a totally tough cookie, but still she's been lonenly this couple of days and a bit of more experience with people besides me would be nice for her.
Gizmo crossed his hands and pout angrily. He agreed 100% with Garfield, but still he wanted to finish this blaster.
-Crud! Can't Birdhead take her for a cruddy girls out?
-Well...
15 minutes earlier:
Beast boy rached towards Raven, who had fallen asleep on a pedestal craddling a old scroll in the library. Raven's arm shot before Garfield could reach her. Without moving she grunted out half asleep:
-Don't...zzz...you...zzzzz...dare.
Raven released his arm so Garfield could retreat carefully.
Gizmo's y eyebrows furrowed.
-What about dat Gearguts lugnut? Isn't he all about the companionship and crap?
-Uhhhhhhh...
10 minutes ago back in the library...
-Sorry Garfield, I can not comply to your request since I can't leave the library unguarded when thete is another person here. I did try to awake Raven, but she was not happy with that.- he pointed towards a wall with a hole made by his tossed body.-Stills she aided me in finding a secret library room filled with samples of stages of developing animal embryos. Want to help me by streaching the cords to check their lengths?
-Skull fart butler?- Gizmo was getting desparet.
-Dude...
5 minutes ago down in the "Devil's Nest' the place was getting packed. At the bar were Lobo, Slade and Calanderman. The Servoskulk barman came to serve them a bottle of whiskey in hand, and a helmet on head.
-Sir Lobo, that will be 2,5o for the bottle...-Instead he got Lobos fist.
- Lobo, pays , nobody!-Before he could reach for the Bottle Slade knocked him off the bar.
After that Slade took the bottle and gave to the Skullbot the said 2,50 dollars. Calanderman gave him a confused stare. Without a question asked Slade answered:
-Do you know how hard is to find place's to relax where you will be not attacked by a adolescent boys wearing only spandex and capes! Besides the drinks here are to dir for!
Calanderman nodded.
Gizmo sigjted and jumped of his seat and headed to the spider cheered:
-Ata dude! Thats the spirit. Who knows, you might get some tail...
-Shut it puke face.
Stich sat down infront of the spider pit stroking the head of giant spider. and speaking to it:
-For a giant monster you are awfully cuddly,you know.
The spiders reply was only a low purr. Or what ever you call what a spider enjoying something sound sounds like.
Behind her came Gizmo and sat besides her. For a moment he stood silent while Stich and the Spider gave him a questioning look.
-Hi?
-Yeah, hi...-Both became again silent.
-Did I break something again?
-Nah, just dat crunch muncher we call a leader said you need ta work on your cruddy people skills.-Gizmoo grumped out.
Stich protested, with a smile-
-Or maybe he wanted you to get some schooling in soci-...Sokk, talking to people by me, the charmmistress, hehehe.
Gizmo's head snapped and stared her down:
-What!-Gizmo jumped to get to her eye level and angrily ranted-I am the cruddy social master! I can master you under the snotting table with friendliness!
-And I say that you can't make a friend with a rock, oh and mind you that is coming from a girl-thing which came from a box.-she returned the stare down with.- I bet Garfield finally realized you need a life and stop being a cranky leprechaun...or was is it McLeprechaun.
-I bet if you go out and tried speak to Anybody they would be terrified and run in other way.
Stich eyes shined and she jumped grabbing his hand smuggly staring him down.
-Then its a bet.
-What?
-Whomever manages to get a friendly reply from a stranger and manage not to creep them out wins!- Stich turned to walk towards the pub and the city.
Gizmo just sttood there frozen in confusion as to what happend. Did he just forced him self in a bet he could not win.
-Come on cranky, I need to salt your wounds with my awesomeness.
Gizmo followed Stich out leaving the Giant spider who was whining like a pup left alone for the first time.
The two arrved in the city quite quickly, bickering all the way between each other. Gizmo suggested they might as well start at the park since its a Saturday and that means theres to be lots of foks there. They had civilian clothes so they won't recognized as their villain selfs.
In the park Gizmo and Stich were hidding in a bush.
-Why are we hidding in a cruddy bush?!-Gizmo asking expecting some wierd ass answer which he got.
-Shhhhh. We must not scare them.
-Thats snotting it. I am getting out of this fracking shrub
-No wait...
He walked out in the open and the street. He saw a single teen girl and decided to try his luck with her. He focused and tried to start without saying a single vulgar thing:
-Hi...
The girl passed Gizmo without noticing him. A bit insulted Gizmo considered she just was a bitch. Next person to pass was a business man talking on his cell phone. As he drew near Gizmo again said:
-Hi...
Yet again he was ignored as the man passed on, not even a look spared. Gizmo was getting annoyed. At least he wanted to get noticed. He saw another person coming near. Gizmo stood in his way just to get noticed for once. The person who was coming was old man with thick glasses and cane. Easy picking thought Gizmo, but he was wrong. The old man only stopped cause he kicked Gizmo poorly. The elderly looked down to see the furios genius staring back with a icy glare. Before Gizmo could say something the old man picked him and carried him to side of the path in the grass near the snickering Stich. He placed the petrified Gizmo thete.
- What bad place to put a lawn gnome.-The old man complained as head back to the paved path-And that is the grumpiest lawn gnome I ever saw. These darn kids are ruining everything these days.
Gizmo quietly walked back in the bush where Stich was laughing to tears and tossed him self to lay in the grass looking up to the skies with a annoyed expression.
-Now let show you how its done and rub it in your head all day.-Stich smirked self confident.
A bunch of people were coming near them. This was her time to pop-up. So she did. But in excitement she grew two additional arms to wave at the group.
-Hey. wanna ride a giant spider.-A smile reaching from ear to ear. LITERALLY. And her piercing yellow eyes did help either.
The closest person passed out while the others started to shout:
-WHAT IS THA THING?
-ITS A MONSTER.
-ITS THE DEVIL!
-SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE!
-BETTER CALL A PRIEST!
Stich started to get frighten by the mob of scared shouting people and without considering she picked up her small companion and fled from the upcoming mob. Confused and frighten she ran with Gizmo who was a bit silent for this entire happening.
After losing the crowd the two were sitting on the edge of a roof top. Gizmo lost in thought, Stich confused:
-I don't understand. I did not attack them?-she asked her companion who finally pieced together his mind.
-People are cruddy stupid, put them together in a crowd and they become stuppider. At least they noticed you...They reacted to you...-Gizmo furrowed eyebrows in anger.
Stich looked down to her teammate to finally realize why was he quite and understand that to be feared is as bad to be invisible to everybody, ignored by your lack importance.
The girl layed arm across Gizmo's shoulder and offered smug confident smile:
-Do you know what. We don't need any people skills. We are villains. I mean the Team chaos, thats us. You, the master of evil plans, me the big evil scarry thing which learks in under the beds of children and the rest. Fuck people and their fears. I mean who is afraid from giant spiders, right?
-Yeah, cruddy stupid mushbrains. If can't understand uniqueness, then they are really a bunch of street urchins.-Gizmo brighten up by the pep talk, but then he pointed down the street.-Hey is that not...
Down the street a single manhole was lifted to show eight bitty eyes giving the puppy stare up towards the two. Stich nodded and shared a evil glance with Gizmo:
-Stich are cruddy poundering what I am pounderng.
-Yes. Spider Rampage?
-Spider Rampage.
4 hours Later somewhere in Africa...
Garfield stood in his discise on the edge of a hill waiting and enoying the last beams of sunshine. He was not so relaxed as he wished, but he knew this was going to be painful that will happen after a few moments.
He heard finally the angry motor of a vehicle coming near, but he did not moved. The heavy march of feet coming towards him rummaged the grass of the hill,but he did not move. Finally a loud voice screamed out angrily his name-'GARFIELD'-Yeah. He could never forget Mento's scream ringing in his ear.
He turned around with smile, closed eyes and chirpped:
-Hey,gu...-His speach was taken awayby the strongest punch delivered to his stomach. No matter how stronge Cinderblock can hit nothing compared to this. Mento had delivered such a strong punch that it blew of his fedora. Over the shoulder Gatfield saw the rest of the Doom patrol. Elasta-girl did not want to look at him, the Negative man was giving a disappointed glare, while Robotman had a glimmer of hope in his eye that Garfield had called them to redeem him self.
The pain wrecking the body finally came to his feet and Garfield crumbled to his knees, but still maintained a smile. A smile from where a small stream of blood started to pertube down his chin.
-How could you! Were all our hopes for naught! Were all our efforts spend for nothing!? Tell me Garfield, what were you thinking! Stabbing YOUR LEADER IN THE BACK, BLACKENING OUR NAME AND HURTING THE INNOCENT!
Garfield lifted his smiling face to see Mento's enraged one:
-How about,'Not the face,not face'.-Garfield joked.
This reply earned Garfield a kick in chest which almost send him tumblind down hill:
-THATS IT!? YOU CALLED US TO MOCK US? TO INSULT YOU FORMER LOVING FAMILY! WHATS NEXT? TO EXTORT US? TO GRUB FOR MONEY?-Mento was at his edge . He was just a step from jumping on Garfield and beating him up to a pulp.
-Actually, yes I came to ask for aid.-he pulled a file from his coat and handed it to Mento.- Check this up chief.
Mento grabbed the file, ready to fly in to a assualt, but was stopped by the lines he read. All anger seeped out of him replaced by fear. He looked back to his team and screamed- Negative man , come and tell me this a forgery.-Negative man followed by the others came around to see this document, mean while Garfield rouse to his feet spitting some of blood in his mouth.
Negative-man checked the document and shakened said:"I wish I could say its fake, but evrything...seems to legit. And that is big bad thing if I am reading this correctly.
-Ahem- Garfield brought all attention back to him.-Now if we are done with making sure like lungs never function the same,I want to get to the nitty-gritty of it. I need to know if I call you to stop this I can count on you guys to jump in without a question.
Mento gave a serious look at Garfield and replied:
"For this, I have no choice...
Da End. RnR foks.
