Chapter 2

World's Collide, Teams Meet

Just as the girl in the cloak's stream of light stopped, the ghost (who the Ghostbusters assumed was Freckles the Clown) started causing havoc again. Luckily all the civilians had cleared the scene.

"Grab your stick!" Peter says to his team. All four of them draw their handsets simultaneously.

"HOLDIN'" Egon, Ray and Winston shout.

"Heat 'em up!" Peter says again. All four heat up their handsets.

"SMOKIN'" The other three said again

"Make 'em hard!" Peter says again (while sounding like a pervert. Tee-Hee).

"READY!" They all shout.

"Let's make this clown laugh her ass off." Winston shouts. Everyone else (again, minus Egon) crack a smile at this.

"Egon, you take the left. Ray, you take the other end. Winston, you take the right." Said three then walked to a spot on each side of the clown ghost. Peter got the Trap ready. After a moment Egon noticed that he was standing awfully close to the girl (whose cloak had turned back to dark blue and leotard (which in Egon's opinion looked way too tight) had turned black).

"Ray!" Raymond fired at Freckles, who became trapped in the orange laser.

"Winston!" Winston joined Ray and shot his laser at the skeletal phantom.

"Egon!" the final laser enwrapped the ghost, who was screaming in pain yet again.

"Okay, I'm opening the trap!" Peter opened the trap and the three Ghostbusters holding the ghost slowly lowered her above the trap, "I'm closing the trap . . . NOW!" Ray, Winston and Egon simultaneously deactivated their lasers and jumped back as the ghost was sucked into the trap. When the light show was over, Winston grinned.

"Job well done, boys! That would've been a lot harder had Dark Girl over there not weakened it!" Stantz said. Just then something shot up from the ocean. All the Ghostbuster jumped and pointed their handsets at it . . . or should I say her.

Starfire, after finally managing to gain her strength back, flew up from the water to see the strangest, well not the strangest she's seen, thing. For men in beige uniforms, wearing strange packs-of-the-back, were standing on the ground below her. But that's not what worried her; the fact that Raven was lying on the ground, unconscious, worried her. Starfire flew down and landed beside a man with glasses.

"What happened? Is Friend-Raven alright?" Before the man could answer, Starfire dropped to her knees next to her friend and start tapping a spot at the back of her jaw; one of Raven's many soft spots.

"What are you doing, ma'am?" The man with glasses asked. Starfire looked up at him.

"Please, my name is Starfire. And I am currently trying to awaken Friend-Raven by tapping the spot that is soft, which is on the jaw, I found the day of yester." Starfire explained in a way that she thought was clear as daylight. It wasn't.

"What?!" The man who had skin like Cyborg asked.

"She said her name was Starfire and that's she's trying to wake up Raven by tapping a soft spot on her, meaning Raven's, jaw that she found yesterday." A voice said from the ring toss stand. The Ghostbusters sharply turned and aimed their handsets.

Beast-Boy stood from his spot in the ring toss game, groaned and stretched; he had just gained consciousness after being thrown into there by the ghost. When he stood, the changeling noticed that he was covered in a thick layer slime.

"EEEEEEWWWWWWW! Gross! This is almost worse than meat!" The slime (or ectoplasm/ghost mucus) was gooey and sticky.

"Please, my name is Starfire. And I am currently trying to awaken Friend-Raven by tapping the spot that is soft, which is on the jaw, I found the day of yester." The changeling heard his alien friend say.

"What?!" he heard another voice he sort of recognised say.

"She said her name was Starfire and that's she's trying to wake up Raven by tapping a soft spot on her, meaning Raven's, jaw that she found yesterday." Beast-Boy looked up to see four glowing sticks pointed at him.

"Friend-Beast-Boy! Where did you say Friend-Raven's most ticklish point-of-the-nerve was?" The red-head alien called to her friend. Beast-Boy looked up at her.

"Just above her hip bone!" he called back, and then finally remembered who the four adults there were, "Oh. My. God. YOU'RE THE GHOSTBUSTERS! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!" It was Beast-Boy's turn to go 'fan boy' mode. While Beast-Boy had a spaz attack, Starfire started tickling the skin just above Raven's hip bone. It didn't even make her stir.

"Friend-Beast-Boy! It is not working!" Starfire cried but Beast-Boy was too busy fussing over the Ghostbusters to hear her.

Cyborg groaned as his systems came back online. He ran a full system check and came out with only a dint in the armour above his . .. rear-quarters. The half-robot stood and nearly jumped when he saw himself.

"House of Mirrors. Still creepy as hell." When he said that a thought struck him, "RAE!" He hadn't seen Raven get hurt but he was sure she did, Raven always found a way to get hurt. He ran through the maze until he found the exit. When he was outside he saw four men in beige, Beast-Boy, Starfire and an unconscious Raven. This worried the big guy. What the hell had happened while he was offline? He ran up to his friends.

"Friend-Beast-Boy! It is not working!" Starfire cried out to Beast-Boy, who wasn't listening.

"That's because she's healing herself, Star." Cyborg said, "Raven basically goes comatose when she heals herself. Remember?" Starfire turned to see her friend slow to a walk, and then stop next to her. Cyborg kneeled down beside his friend and his little sister. Cyborg picked up Raven and turned to the three men.

"What happened here?" he growled; ready to attack them if necessary.

"A full body apparition. One of average strength, but even the average ones can be deadly." A man with thinning hair said, "I'm Dr Venkman, by the way. These are my co-workers; Dr Spengler, Dr Stantz and not-a-doctor Mr Zeddemore." Venkman continued.

"I'm Cyborg. The alien is Starfire and the green bean is Beast-Boy. I'm assuming you've already met Raven." Cyborg still had a protective hold on the dark bird, "And our leader, Robin, is around here somewhere."

"I'm right here, Cy." Robin called from a few feet away, "We'd best be going guys. Rae may need immediate medical support." The Teen Titans nodded, said their goodbyes then left.

"What an odd bunch o' kids." Winston said after they were out of earshot.

"Um, Spengler?" Stantz's eyes didn't leave the PKE Meter

"What is it Ray?" Egon asked.

"I ran a PKE test after we trapped the ghost and . . . well it skyrocketed in Raven's direction." Ray said semi-nervously, "Do you think she's a possessed human being? With the light-show she pulled earlier I think it's possible." He scratched his head.

"That may be the case, Dr Stantz. Her sudden unconsciousness could've been a result of the spirit possessing her growing weak and exiting the body. But why would it stay around the girl's body after exiting?" Egon said the last sentence mainly to himself. The others shrugged and the four headed back to the Ecto-1, which Ray had parked next to a car that looked similar to Cyborg.

"YOU ARE NOT GETTING INTO MY CAR COVERED IN GHOST MUCUS, BEAST-BOY!" The African-American teen yelled.

"OH! I almost forgot; we need a sample of the ectoplasm." Stantz said, took out a container and walked up to the group of teenage superheroes, "Excuse me? We need a sample of the spectral residue the ghost left behind." Ray said calmly. The group (minus the unconscious Raven) turned to the Doctor.

"The what?" Beast-Boy, who was still covered in the goo, said.

"He means the sticky stuff you're covered in, BB" Cy said. Robin got out his bo-staff and scraped off most of the ectoplasm into the container. Beast tried his best to get most of the stuff off his skin and clothes. When he was done, Beast-Boy almost looked normal . . . well, as normal as a green teen with pointed ears and fangs could look. Ray nodded thanks and walked off to the Ecto-1. When he got into the car; Winston was driving, Peter was in shotgun and Egon was sitting in the back with him.

"We should go back to see the Mayor. He's probably gonna want to know what happened tonight." Peter said as Winston started driving through the quiet late-night streets of Jump City.
