Chapter 16 : part one; the déjà vu of kidnapping

" I want them . What happened again? Tell me how you two idiots are so stupid where they could have escaped out of a locked van?!" Johnny roared.

Johnny had escaped prison recently and was on the loose. After being arrested for attempted murder he was put behind bars. Yet somehow the grey skinned tattooed covered boy escaped and was now scolding his two associates.

"We don't know how they escaped!" Craig exclaimed. Johnny turned to the pudgy carrot haired colored boy and glared.

"How did your fat ass not realize they were gone?! You were driving the fucking van!" Johnny hissed. Craig cowered in fear at the vicious vocal assault.

"It wasn't our fault! It was Matthew! He was supposed to check and make sure the stupid door was locked !" Simon exclaimed. Johnny whipped his spiky punk rock head to the voice.

"Shut it! You're the one who bragged that you were the all seeing 'see more ' ! If this is anybody's fault then it's yours." Johnny accused. Then a thought occurred to Johnny that tripled his anger.

"And what happened at the mall?! I had that stupid Dick Grayson handled and you idiots had the others! Why didn't any of you try to take the girls while I distracted them?!" Johnny yelled in complete fury.

"We did! Well Luis and Freddie did , but they got their asses beat! Even if we helped we still wouldn't have been able to kidnap them!" Simon answered.

"I know your ass couldn't have succeed. You got your sorry butt beat by an elf." Johnny retorted.

"Hey the guy is stronger then he looks!" Simon yelled.

"Enough excuses! This is being settled by tomorrow night or else." Johnny hissed.

The warehouse the thugs resided in grew cold with an eerie silent. Pounds of cocaine and piles of money flooded several tables due to their large amount. In the corner sat a rusted broken down chair where Johnny would beat people to give him information on rival gangs. The cement floor thundered with the sounds of Johnny stomping to the corner. Pulling out a gun , he returned to the two petrified boys.

Then he pointed the gun at them.

"Here's the deal. You get me the red head and that cute purple haired girl too in less then twenty four hours." Johnny demanded. Craig swallowed a large lump in his throat.

"What happens if we don't have the girls by then?" Craig asked as his voice trembled in fear. An evil grin grew on Johnny's face as he put his finger on the trigger.

"Simple. If I don't have what I was promised by tomorrow night, then X doesn't get his drugs, and you two won't live to see the morning." Johnny replied.

A low chuckling echoed throughout the ware house making the vicious Johnny groan and put down the gun.

"It's funny how you think you have a say in which one you get. But like I said before Johnny. The red head is mine." The voice called from the corner.

"Not so fast X. I was promised four girls. And as you can tale your dumb ass goons here couldn't even accomplish that task. Now I'm calling the shots!" Johnny commanded. X approached Johnny from the shadows in an intimidating form.

"Yeah. The two morons over here just like the rest are going to get their share of punishment, but that still doesn't give you an excuse to get the red head. Kori is mine for the taking Johnny. Not yours." X replied. Johnny growled.

"I don't care anymore! You keep the other three in exchange for her." Johnny responded.

"Why do you want her so bad?" X asked amused.

"The same reason I wanted all the other girls X. For trafficking. I know with these two girls I can make thousands in a week and with the red head I know my profit will increase dramatically." Johnny replied.

"What makes you think I'd use Kori for that?" X asked. Johnny snorted.

"Oh right. You'd probably use her as your personal sex doll." Johnny retorted. X scoffed.

"You act like you don't want to hit that! And yeah, I was just going to use her for sex. But that's not the point. What's in it for me if I accept this new offer?" X asked.

"You'll still get your original profit of half the weekly cocaine. Instead of Karen, Jenn and Toni , I just want Rachel and Kori." Johnny explained. X tapped his chin thoughtfully.

"I can borrow Kori on occasions right?" X asked. Johnny rolled his eyes.

"Yeah you can fuck the red head as long as I still own her. So do we have a deal Xavier?" Johnny slyly asked. Xavier pulled off his mask with a skull and red x across the mask and grinned as he shook Johnny's outstretched hand.

"Deal. And by tomorrow night I'll have the two. I guarantee that this time, there will be no mistakes." X promised. The two drug lords grinned.

"Oh and X. I have to say that applying for the TV show and gaining intel on the girls was genius. With these girls popularity and publicity, I'll have plenty of business for Rachel and Kori." Johnny complimented.

"Thanks. Now I guess I have to go find out if there back at the mansion already. That way I can find out how to lure them here where you can take them out of my hands and give me my end of the deal." Xavier replied.

" Xavier just go to the mansion and check if their there. I'm already sending your goons over here to parol the city for them." Johnny said. X gave a curt nod and walked out of the warehouse leaving his mask behind. Turning to Craig and Simon, Johnny gave them a harsh look.

"Now as for you two. I want you to search for Rachel and Kori . Scavenge the entire city if you have to, but be back with them by tomorrow night or else..." Johnny trailed off as he pulled out a pistol from his left pocket.

The same one he had used to try and shoot Richard with at the mall.

"O-okay!" Craig replied shaking in fear for this man. He felt like he was about to pee his pants at the moment.

"Alright." Was Simon's meek reply. The two thugs ran out the warehouse with one goal set in mind.

Find Kori and Rachel and get them to Johnny.

"Dude where are they!?" Gar exclaimed as he paced on the patio back and fourth.

"Chill out man! They've only been gone for like fifteen minutes!" Victor yelled.

It had been only fifteen minutes since Kori and Rachel left. Since then ,the group had eaten the delicious barbecue with the exception of Gar. Have a water gun fight soaking all of them and ate a massive array of ice cream. Now the teens all sat on their designated lawn chairs awaiting the girls to bring the fireworks.

"Should it take this long for them to get fireworks?" Wally asked.

"It depends on where they went." Dick answered.

"Well since we're waiting this long they're probably on the other side of town getting some expensive fireworks." Bee commented.

"Either that or they went to get their nails done !" Toni suggested. It was a pregnant pause for a slight moment before it erupted into a chorus of 'nah!'

Shaking his head dissmisivily Gar chuckled.

"Dude. We all know that Raven wouldn't get her nails done." Gar said. Jenn shook her head.

"She will, she'll just get like black or something." Jenn countered. A few nods followed the statement as Wally looked at Gar confused.

"Wait , who's Raven?" Wally dumbly asked. Gar blushed.

"It's my nickname for Rachel." Gar replied. Victor rose an eyebrow.

"Why'd you pick that?" Vic asked. Gar beamed.

"Cause y'know how she's always reading poetry and stuff dude? Well I found out her favorite poem was the Raven by that Poe guy and I thought the name fit her." Gar responded.

"AWWWWW!" Toni, Bee, and Jenn cooed. Wally snorted.

"Man you sound like Dickie-boy over here! He also made up a fancy nick name for legs !" Wally announced.

"Oh really?" Roy asked looking at Dick.

"Yup! As I recall , he calls her..." Wally trailed off waiting for Dick to finish his sentence.

"I call Kori Starfire, or just Star for short." Dick obliged to Wally's earlier input.

"Why Starfire?" Garth asked. Wally rose his hand and excitedly waved it around as Dick groaned and pointed at him,

"Yes Wally?" Dick asked. Wally grinned.

"I know why you call her that boss! Cause her hair is like fire! And her eyes, and I quote 'are brighter then any stars in the sky' ." Wally finished.

"AWWWWW!" The superiors cooed again.

"AWWWW! Boss! You sounded like a poet or something when pointed that out!" Wally called out. Dick scoffed at him, but still held a firm smile.

"But yeah , what Wally said was true." Dick answered.

"Well I think Starfire suits Kori perfectly. Besides its better then legs." Jenn called out. Wally snapped his scarlet head towards her.

"Woah! Woah! Woah! Legs is a great nickname for Kori! " Wally protested. Jenn scoffed.

"Why legs?" Victor asked. It was his turn to get a look of disbelief from Wally.

"Um have you seen her legs dude?" Wally replied. Dick glared at Wally.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Dick asked. Wally chuckled.

"It means your girlfriend has long killer legs bro!" Wally simply replied. Dick had to agree his girlfriend did have long model like legs. Dick chuckled lightly and began to laugh.

"Yeah... That is true." Dick said. A grin came from Wally as he sat down and silence followed. Then Toni thought of an idea and grinned.

"Hey loves! We should all get nicknames!" Toni suggested.

"Dude! That's a good idea!" Gar exclaimed. Other firms of agreement came to Toni's way as the group began to make ideas.

"I want mine to be Argent!" Toni yelled. The superiors and titans looked at her confused. She blushed a furious red and looked at her feet.

"I think argent sounds cool." Toni muttered. Garth placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Y'know I think argents pretty cool too." Garth added. Soon everyone gave their compliments to the name as they continued to come up with their own nicknames.

"I got it ! Dudes call me beast boy!" Gar triumphed.

"Beast boy? I think it should be grass stain!" Vic suggested, before he received a glare from Gar.

"No cause if mines grass stain then yours is going to be chrome dome." Gar stated. Karen then shook her head.

"No , I think Vic's name should be sparky!" Bee interrupted.

" guys I'm not going to be chrome dome or sparky. I already chose a name." Victor stated. The two looked at him curiously.

"I'm going to be Cyborg. Y'know since I'm as good with technology as I am with the ladies. " Viv slyly replied. Gar grinned.

"Dude cool! I'll call you Cy for short instead of Cyborg." Gar responded. He too earned a grin from Vic.

"And I'll call you BB, y'know short for Beast boy ." Vic said. The two gave each other a high five and began to goof.

"Aqualad." Garth said. Roy snorted at him.

"No you should be unitard guy." Roy dismissed. Garth gave a glare that Roy just rolled his eyes to.

"Jinx." Jenny called.

"That sounds hot babe! " Wally shouted. She rolled her eyes in reply.

"Mines going to be Kid Flash! Cause I'm the fastest boy alive!" Wally shouted. Jenny was just about to retort before Dick shook his head and stopped her.

"Don't tell him he's not. The guy is probably the fastest boy alive. The guys pretty quick." Dick whispered. Jenn nodded and sat back in her lawn chair.

"Mines already Bee." Karen said.

"I think I'm going to go with Nightwing." Dick suggested.

"Hmmm. Sounds pretty bad ass. I like it." Jenn said.

"So we all have nicknames now, right?" Dick asked. Then everyone began to call out their nicknames.

"Mines Bee!"

"Mr. Sexy! Just kidding its kid flash!"

"Argent!"

"Beast boy!"

"Cyborg!"

"Jinx ."

"Wait I want mine to be Speedy." Roy stated. Everyone looked at him surprised.

"Why? I mean don't get me wrong, but if Anyone should be speedy it should be Wally since he's the fastest one." Bee said. Roy grinned.

"I was called Speedy in highschool cause I could shoot my bow and arrows faster then you could blink." Roy replied. The group muttered against themselves and began to nod. Then after a few comments made they began to continue naming off their nicknames.

"Aqualad."

"Speedy."

"Nightwing." Dick finished. It then fell into silence. Until Gar became bb ores again.

"Ugh! Dudes where are they?!" Gar asked.

" where are who?" Xavier asked coming into the patio deck. The group gave him bewildered looks as Dick peered at the unwanted guest.

"What?" Xavier asked.

" nothing dude, it's just we haven't seen you or Kitten in like two weeks." Gar pointed out. Wally began to laugh hysterically as others remembered what happened to Kitten except a confused Gar.

"What?" Gar dumbfoundly asked.

"Gar! Or BB, remember Kitten left the show!" Victor exclaimed. Gars forest green eyes widened.

"really?!" Gar shrieked. Roy chuckled.

"ha! Yeah ! Remember your girlfriend Raven kicked her ass! Cause y'know how Kitten wrote on Rachel's books, and Rachel was really pissed off last week so she found out it was Kitten who did that, and bang boom, at the end of the day your girlfriend threw all of Kittens shit out the window and just like that , the little skank is gone!" Roy explained. Gar nodded still slightly surprised about the incident. He'd have to ask Raven about that when she came back.

"Okay! but where getting off subject here! What are you doing here? And where have you've been for the past few days?" Bee asked. Xavier straightened his posture to a calm demeanor.

"I was doing some some business that doesn't concern you, and I can't come out on the patio? I am a member of this house." Xavier retorted. It fell silent as Xavier sat down in a patio chair. Dick glared.

"you can't sit there. That's Kori's seat." Dick informed.

"Ok. So where is she anyways?" Xavier slyly asked.

"she and Rachel went to go buy fireworks, and no they're not back yet so don't ask." Gar replied. Xavier nodded ,but inwardly groaned. Now he had to search the whole city for those two.

"Alright. Well I have to go and make a call so see you guys later." Xavier said quickly. Getting up, he left the confused group and walked to the front of the mansion. Dialing his phone he awaited for the other line to pick up.

"Yes sir?" Craig asked from the other line timidly.

"Tell me you've found them already!" Xavier growled.

"No, but where still looking!" Simon replied.

"Well Rachel and Kori aren't in the mansion. I heard they went to a firework shop, so check out all the stores." Xavier commanded.

"Alright." Simon replied. Xavier hung up the phone and sat back, now awaiting the call that would make his deal official.

"its already eight o'clock! And we still haven't found them!" Simon cried.

"we need to find the mistress of magic and the goddess soon." Craig exclaimed.

Currently the two thugs sat in another broken down van. It was a white van that held several rusted slabs across the outside. It had thick cushioned seats with dark tainted windows , an empty back that only held a spare tire and a crow bar, and the whole vehicle smelled of fried greasy food.

" are you sure we've checked every single store?" Craig asked. Simon gave a meek nod and started the van. Driving from the last firework store they exited onto the highway.

Passing by a separate street the two drove down a long dark highway with almost no car in sight. Driving by the abandoned road Simon could have sworn he saw a flash of metal. Curious, he turned towards the edge of the road to check out what he saw making Craig get mad.

"What are you doing?" Craig asked slightly aggravated. Simon ignored his continuous protests and jumped out of the van.

"We don't have enough time for sight seeing Simon!" Craig yelled. Simon trudged down the steep hill and gasped when he came across a car wreck. It wasn't the car wreck he was gasping at, but rather the passengers.

"Hey Simon did you find something?!" Craig shouted as he exited the car. Simon turned to Craig with a smirk on his face making the fat red head raise an eyebrow.

"We found Kori and Rachel. Call Xavier."

Kori groaned as she woke up. Her head hurt and she could smell the faint smell of blood. Feeling a massive discomfort on her forhead she tried to move her arm to reach it. That's when she discovered she was tied up by rough irritating rope. Her eyes widened as she tried to scream , but soon found it futile due to duck tape wrapped around her mouth.

Trying to get up she saw not only saw her legs bind, but that she was not alone. Rachel sat in the corner of the van they resided in. She laid unconscious with a large lump on her bloody forehead. Kori began to feel tears prick her eyes as she sobbed. This couldn't be happening! Not again!

Then a bang caused her to jump. Scooching to the corner Rachel was in she whimpered. The large van doors opened to reveal a teen in dark clothes with a mask. The mask covered his face and held a white skull with a red X on it. The guy with the mask chuckled and Kori could tell the voice was computerized. She began to sob even more. Her nightmare was coming true.

"Rise and shine cutie."
