Let me apologize for my unannounced absence. I was over whelmed with school, football and the welcoming of my first son so I had to step away from writting for a while to get my life in order. I love all of you and will work double time to get this story completed for you. I own NOTHING
Chapter 6
Beastboy lay motionless on the couch staring up at the ceiling. His late night thoughts were beginning to consume him as the fight with Raven was really leaving a sour taste in his mouth. How could I let myself take it that far? How? His guilt was getting the best of him and he rolled over to the digital clock blinking "4:57"
"Fuccck" he groaned as he realized that he would have to wake up at 7 to train with Robin and they had to all smile shake hands and kiss babies at city hall with the mayor.
"Tomorrow is going to be a long fucking day." He rolled over to hear a voice in the background.
"Yeah especially when you can't sleep." Beast boy immediately shot off the couch to see that Robin was sitting at the coffee table drinking a red bull.
"Jesus dude." Beastboy tried to catch his breath as Robin gulped down his drink.
"My bad." Beastboy sat up and flipped his blanket to the side.
"Why are you up?" Robin crushed the can in his hands and grabed a folder full of loose flies from the table.
"I've been working." Beastboy rolled his eyes.
"Of course." Beastboy stood up and stretched. Robin began to shuffle threw the papers.
"I need to look at something for me." Robin passed the folder to Beastboy. As he opened it Robin flipped on the lights and began to pull up a map of the city from the titan mainframe. Beastboy looked through the papers and say that they were in a foreign language with cryptic scriptures that looked like ancient Egyptian Holographic reconstructions. The reconstructions were of these what looked like to be funeral proceedings.
"Dude what are these?" Robin sat down next to Beastboy.
"They're my research, I've been looking ancient ritual revitalizations. The Egyptians used to do it all the time to see if they could being the pharaohs back to life." Beastboy contorted his face.
"and that has to do with?" Robin cleared his throat and clicked down the mouse on the computer.
"This" Robin directed Beastboys attention to the computer screen where it was the crime scene of both Terras and Brother Bloods demise. Beastboy studied the screen and noticed that they the position of the corpses and the supplies used in these rituals were practical identical. Terra's dead body had been elevated on a flat stone surface with her limbs tied down to the edges. Her mouth and eyes both opened and covered with what to be granite covers. Her body had been stripped completely naked and it looked almost as if she was being crucified to the stone. Beastboy began to gag at the sight of the picture.
"Dude this is gross." Robin nodded in agreement.
"That's not the disturbing part, this video evidence was just sent to me an hour ago." Beastboy felt his emotions stone.
"So someone wants Terra back here." Robin began to scroll through the picture where they began to zoom in on what looked to be writing in the sand. As they moved forward the writing was a direct message.
"We are coming teen titans and we are getting help from beyond" Beastboy rolled his eyes.
"Can't we ever just get a little time off." Robin logged off the computer and jumped off the couch.
"So now what Boss?" Robin moved toward the door.
"For now nothing there has never been an instance of these rituals working but if anybody knows about these its your girlfriend."
Beastboy swallowed a lump in his throat "Well her and I aren't necessarily on the best of terms right now." Robin rolled his head around.
"Look as your friend I am going to tell you honestly that every relationship fights and has their moments of disagreements but I am telling you this as your boss now I don't care what happens I still need you two to do your jobs as titans got it?" Beastboy nodded.
"Yeah I got it." Robin turned to the door.
"Now get some sleep training at 7 then city hall at 9." Robin exited the room and Beastboy plopped back down on the couch. He turned the TV back on and was about to start watching some re runs of Tom and Jerry.
"Sweet" he giggled as he began watching the cartoon. Silently a shadowy figure floated over titan island and began to work its way up from the ground all the way to the living room level. From its point of view it could see Beastboy staring out at the TV and the flicker of the light from the backside of it. The shadowy figure began to solidify itself it levitated slowly parallel to the tower.
"I have visual." It said with a deep, demonic voice.
An equally dark voice called back through the shadowy figures headset. "Pursue"
The shadowy figure then began to ball back to into a comet like shape and evaporated itself into the glass outside of titans tower and went unnoticed as Beastboy could be seen with his head back sleeping on the couch.
