Teen Titans
Undercover
Chapter 16- Behind Her Hazel Eyes
"Vanessa! Help! Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!" shouted a distraught Bohusk. He hauled ass down the corridor of Titans Tower like his life depended on it. Falcon's bedroom door shot open and the mage levitated a few feet in the air with her powers summoned.
"What the hell is going on here?" she asked her boyfriend as he came to a skidding hault in front of her.
"Robin *pant* found the *pant* parts of *pant* the R-cycle" he said through ragged breaths.
"So now what? Richard wants to kick your ass?" asked Falcon in an amused voice, lowering herself from the air.
"You hit the nail on the head!" his voice rushed and frantic. He got behind his girlfriend as Richard rounded the corner.
"I let you borrow my motorcycle for 5 hours and you return it 'assembly required!' What do you have to say for yourself!?" shouted an enraged boy wonder.
"These aren't the droids you're lookin' for?" This responce earned an aggrivated groan from the boy wonder. Falcon sighed and interviened.
"Robin, calm down. It was an accident."
"Accident? Accident!? This was a disaster!" Robin shouted while showing the couple a peice of the R-cycle.
"You can always build another one. Thiers enough parts in the garage to build 10 more."
"What's going on out here?" asked Raven comming out of her room. "I couldn't meditate with all the ruckus."
"Jhonen wrecked my R-cycle!" shouted Robin.
"I know. I was there. And their's enough spare parts down in the garage for a dozen more, so it's a waste of energy getting all upset about it."
Robin groaned in defeat and stomped off.
"Thanks for the save, Nessa." said Bohusk breathing in relief. Falcon smiled in graditude. "Oh, by the way, I think I know someone who can help us get a little more information on our little friend Lilliana." he said with his hazel eyes gleaming with mischief.
"What do you have in mind?" asked Raven with her arms folded against her chest.
30 minutes later, Falcon, Bohusk, Raven and Beastboy stood outside of a bar downtown.
"Mind telling us what we're doing here?" asked Raven holding tightly onto Beastboy's arm. Places like this always made her uneasy.
"If anyone knows more about undercover criminals it's 'The Gentleman'." explained the hazel eyed boy.
"The who?" asked Gar.
"My old biker friend."
"You were in a biker gang?" asked Falcon with a quizical stare.
"That was a while ago, babe. Long before I ever consitered becoming a Titan. But those days are behind me now." He rolled up his coat sleeve to show Falcon a tattoo of a skull with viking helments and two hammers crossbone style underneath it with 'Sons Of Odin' above it.
"Ok, so how can this 'Gentleman' character help us?" asked Raven walking into the bar with her sister, boyfriend and Bohusk behind her.
"He knows everything about Jump's criminals. Even ones we've never seen before, like Lilliana."
"So where do we go from here?" asked Falcon.
"You stay here. I don't want yall in the middle of this. I'll go find the Gentleman." Bohusk walked off toward the back of the pub, leaving Raven, Beastboy and Falcon out in the middle of the crowded room, filled with very large bodied men.
"This is unnerving." mumbled Falcon as she noticed many of the men were staring at them. All three Titans were wearing holorings so their idenity was safe, but thier well being was another matter entirely.
Meanwhile, Bohusk entered the a very lavish looking room. Many expensive trinkets adorned the walls and table tops.
"Jhonen my dear boy!" boomed a rather gravely voice. A rather slim man with long brown hair, mutton chops and two moles on his cheeks sat in the back corner of the room smoking a cigarette. He was dressed in a black cowboy style short sleeve button-up shirt, black pants, pair of sunglasses over his eyes and a cowboy hat.
"Good to see you again sir." Bohusk said politely before sitting down in front of the man.
"What can I do for ya son?"
"I need some information regarding a criminal." Bohusk took a picture of Lilliana from his pocket and handed it to his friend. "She can control the undead."
"Hmm... Yes, I think I know who this girl is. She goes by Mistique when she transforms. Lily Rushe is her real name. Very dangerous girl to mess with. Tell me, why are you pursuing her?"
"She's
been robbing local grave sights and disrupting the peace. Tried to go
to a party with my girlfriend and my pals yesterday and we had to
leave early to fight the bitch. Shot me with a damned bone." The
large man chuckled heartily but gravely. "Still got that firey
attitude, huh? And who is this girlfriend of yours?" he asked
with a wink. Bohusk's face was dusted pink while he took out a wallet
size picture of Falcon.
"Very nice. Very nice."
"So is that everything you know about this 'Mystique' girl?" he asked while putting the picture back in his wallet. The Gentleman nodded.
"Well thanks for everything sir."
"Any time son. But a word of advice, if you're gonna take her out, make sure you have the other Titans behind you. She's not one to take lightly."
"What!? How did you know i'm with the Titans?" Bohusk asked shocked.
"You
of all people should know I have my ways." A large smile graced
the tan boy's features as he walked back out into the bar. The first
thing he saw was the 30+ men knocked out cold on the floor with
Raven, Falcon and Beastboy standing in the center of the mess.
"Do
I wanna know?" he asked.
"Let's just say we invented a new meaning for the term 'Metal Head'." laughed BB twirling a crowbar around his hand.
"So, did you find out anything?" Falcon asked while stepping over a few bodies.
"Lilliana's our girl. Goes by the name Mistique."
"Hard to believe she's the same girl. She seemed soo nice."
"Believe it babe. All I gotta say is at least we can make an arrest tomarrow. A week at school is enough for me for this lifetime."
Sorry it's taken a while to update, but I kinda got sidetracked by a few other stories i'm writing with jc013 and ButterflyxWriter13. BTW, we've created a joint account called '3OfAKind'. This is where we'll be posting all our co-written work.
