Symbiosis - Chapter 3: Talon
The bond was complete, they were now one, they were Talon.
The team watched in horror at the sight before them, an alien lifeform had latched onto Beast Boy and it was just changing color, what did that mean?
The Symbiote Beast Boy stood, and spoke what seemed to be two voices, "We are Talon!"
Talon then morphed into a Symbiote-Cheetah and sprinted towards the window before leaping out morphing into a Symbiote-Bird and flying towards the city.
The team panicked and followed him, who knew what he was going to do?
Talon landed on a rooftop as he morphed back from a bird, he watched and easily noticed a crime in progress, he snarled as he leapt rooftop to rooftop towards the crime scene.
The criminal was in fact, Cinderblock who was as usual, just smashing things.
Talon landed in a nearby alleyway, dangerously watching the villain, eyes narrowed in pure rage. "Blockhead…" This caught the stone giants attention as he turned towards the sound and saw a shadowed figure in an alleyway.
The figure leapt at him with a screech, tendrils sprouting from his back as he did so.
The team was able to quite easily locate Beast Boy, as they just followed the screams of civilians and the destruction of various property.
What they saw caught them off guard, they saw 'Talon' and a knocked out Cinderblock.
Talon seemed to be screeching at the unconscious stone giant as if taunting him.
Just as they took another step, Talon turned to them.
"Leave us…" Talon growled, "Part of us doesn't want to destroy you."
Raven spoke up, "Why are you referring to yourself as a plural?" Whether or not it was noticed but Talon's gaze softened towards Raven.
"We are one, Garfield is the host." Eyebrows were raised.
"What?" Was the the intelligent reply, Talon sighed.
"In time, Garfield shall explain our condition." He morphed into a bird and quickly flew off again. Leaving a rather confused team.
"We need to follow him!" Robin shouted, Raven shook her head.
"Robin, he was able to speak, what do you think that means?" Robin raised an eyebrow and then it hit him.
"He was able to talk, yeah, that's true, he was also referring to himself as 'we' instead of 'I'." Cyborg spoke up.
"That thing said BB was the 'host'." Cyborg shuttered slightly, "Sounds horror-movie style possession to me…"
Starfire put two and two together just before the rest did, "You think friend Beast Boy and this 'Talon' are dual beings?" The team turned to her with shocked expressions, that eventually changed to smiles.
"Damn you're smart sometimes." Cyborg chuckled.
Raven spoke up, "Even so, we must find him if that is the case."
