Here we go again…This is one week since the last chapter, to give you a brief idea of what happened over the course of that week, the Titans tried to find our "missing heroes", and the Terror Titans were training, with two of them flirting whenever they can, and to give you a clue, it isn't Ryan/Rose, however they will be flirting later.
So, here we go…
Slade's voice crackled in the earpieces of the Terror Titans "You each have your targets, the Titans East and Central are in town, the originals are off looking for you. It is time you introduced yourself." He said. All the Terrors, in their respective areas nodded to themselves.
Jinx and Kid Flash were on patrol, they enjoyed each other's company. They were just getting to the end of their route, when a pillar of smoke emanated from the south Bank. The pair of Titans ran (Jinx being carried by Kid Flash) toward it.
Tom Volpe, (alias Ironflame) created fireballs and threw them into the bank. He was dressed in a fireproof charcoal black 'Slade-bot-esque' uniform, with no mask. Slade's logo printed on his chest piece.
"Come on out you Teenies! Feel the fury of Ironflame!" He yelled.
As if on cue, Jinx and Kid Flash turned up. Volpe smirked, fire turned into armour, and a smoke cloud engulfed the pair of Titans.
"Gah, can't see!" Kid flash yelled.
"No shit." Came a voice.
The smoke cleared and the air next to Ironflame shimmered. After a second, a teenaged girl with brown hair stepped into being, a Slade logo tattooed on her arm. She was dressed in a suit that Terra once wore (Or one that is identical to the one was worn, minus the sleeves. Her arms are bare. Just to give you an idea).
"Nice of you to turn up." Ironflame said.
"I got held up, kinda hard to bend light around me to become invisible you know." The girl said, glaring at him.
"Yeah Yeah, to business then."
The girl nodded, and extended her quarterstaff, almost like Robins, except it was orange.
Slade's voice crackled over the headset's. "Deliver the message."
"Bah.." Ironflame said.
"Slade sends a message." The girl said. "With our compliments."
"The Terror Titans are in town, my new apprentices. I got to the Missing first. So, until we next meet, I leave you with a choice, either follow them, or go and rescue a fellow Titan." Ironflame recited.
"Oh, and if you're wondering the Titans tied to a chair with a bomb strapped to their chest, it is one of those twins. Mas or Menos, I didn't ask which. Normally I don't harm kids, but I made an exception." The girl said, a slight twinge of regret flickering in her eyes.
"We both hate to, but orders are orders." Ironflame said, also looking a bit regretful.
"Warehouse number thirty-three, south loading bay. They're there." The girl said, and she shimmered slightly, and vanished.
Ironflame heated the road underneath the two Titans, now awestruck, and melted the road, which hardened underneath their boots, stranding them.
"We need to get moving. Now!" Jinx yelled in frustration.
*scene break*
Ryan Wilder, Wylde was standing outside the Mayor's office, Rose leaning against a wall nearby.
"Ryan." She whined "Can we kill him yet?"
"No, orders are orders. But you can push the detonator."
"Oh, how kind of you." She said sarcastically.
Herald exited the Office, he was the liaison whilst the Jump City Titans were away. He looked around, a boy and a girl were leaning against a wall, the boy moved his arm, and there was a flash of a Slade insignia. Herald prepared himself.
"Miss! Get away from him!" He yelled at Rose. Who sneered. He noticed far too late.
A gun cracked as it fired.
Herald's eyes widened, he looked at his chest. An ever expanding patch of red was making its way across his uniform, he fell forward.
Wylde handed Rose the detonator, and went back to watching the Office. The Mayor was at the window, Wylde smiled, and waved. The Mayor smiled and waved back.
Rose pressed down on the detonator.
The Mayor's office, and by extension, the Mayor, erupted into a fireball.
The duo turned and walked away, ash fell down upon them like confetti.
As the Fire crews and police flooded the scene, Blinder made his move. He replaced the water of the Chief Detective with cyanide. Afterward, he too slipped away.
*scene break*
The Titans had come back as soon as they could, Herald was stable, however the bullet had just gone through flesh, almost as if that part was targeted.
In Slade's base however, the Terror Titans were celebrating, The Mayor and Chief Detective were both dead. The Titans were calling in all segments of their network to combat them, as planned.
Well, Rose, Michael and Ryan were.
"Where the hell are Shimmer and Ironflame?" Slade inquired. Ryan stifled a laugh, and Rose was holding a hand over her mouth in a bit to stop herself laughing. Michael was grinning, laughing under his breath.
In a secluded corridor of Slade's base, Selinda Flinders and Tom Volpe were snogging, a lot. They didn't stop until Slade found them, both were blushing profusely. Slade was fuming.
"If I find you snogging each other again, I will personally escort you to the gates of hell." He said, fury encasing his words.
In the other room, the three other apprentices spoke in hushed tones, wondering who their hirer was….and wondering how much money they'd be paid for the job.
Sorry for the wait and stuff, I had stuff to do. So there you go.
I have left parts of this plotline open in this chapter, the hirer, Slade's plan, the murders, Selinda and Tom, Ryan and Rose….Until the next time.
Cult'r out.
