Chapter 46: Consider Your Immoral Tendencies
/
~ Lesson one, apprentice. If the enemy is or becomes aware of your stance, you don't try to lose what you've guarded. Never falter. Find their one weakness and show them you are not to be disregarded. Don't allow all of your specific strengths to fall onto the shoulders of your superior. Take one hit, go on. Find my weaknesses, Renegade. Finish the task I've given you, properly. ~

Dick looked around. This was an old set, a few tricks of the eye thrown in for the versatility of it all. He eyed the ceiling and saw one tear, just one. It hit.
"Cy, throw me."
"Say what? Kinda not getting what you ARE throwing my way –
He punched a bucket of holes into the robot drove with mad Mod's grin on it and red, laser eyes. "I got this one, Star and Bb got the floor. What about where you have in mind, spike?"
Dick smirked, eyes and neck arched up at a small tear of what looked to be wallpaper that was peeling off of a metal plate. The panel was all electric as it hooked to some mechanical devices UNDER the paint.
Cy didn't give a word away as the real Moddie gasped and decided to let his exit happen sounder than –
~ That wasn't a part of our deal, Mod. ~ Slade's voice racked his ear as the screens lit up with the man's face, save for one of Robin launching himself into the very wires as Cy ripped the space down, ordering the others to go wild.

"THIS PLACE is fake. Don't stop fighting. Pull down anything you can get your hands or claws on. This place is going way down…."
"We will find the exit, then and the Mad Mod??" Starfire excitedly asked.
"For working me into a sweat this early, I think he deserves a lot more." Raven flew up to see if Cy and Robin had made a large enough dent to make even larger. "The vent holes?"
"Wow, skinny kid. Like a weasel."
Raven grunted and pointed for Bb to make good on his complaint. "Get in there and join them, weasel – boy."
She kicked his mousy tush as the scurrying youth found a space and scurried to hurry after Robin's scent of anxiety and adrenaline. ~ He's down there. Hurry it up, Rave! ~
The boy's mouse whiskers twitched as he headed in the direction of a struggle. Only…did he smell scones and old people scent…?

Moddie wasn't sure his liver spots could handle even more excitement for one day. The top hatch of his control room was barged into as a launching teen in black and near red pounced on the older gent. "S – MOD??"
Dick out go as he saw the cane. The same one that the red headed look alike had. "In my day we knocked and said 'Ello." Mod grumbled and held his thumb to the controls. With a press, nothing happened. The lights turned off, the screens crackled to black and the rest of the back of the control room, was removed by two very powerful women heroines.
"Bullocks! You lousy kids have me cornered…. fine, be that way."
"Cuffs it is then." Cy was atop Bb as a Jurassic brachiosaurus.
"You've just gone off the air, bloke." Bb chuckled.
"I heard that." Cy grinned at their win as Raven alerted the police if their location.
A bunker just outside of the city on the water. It was not far, so Cy set up a pick up by the t- ship in the next few minutes. "So, Robin really came through." Bb smirked at the teammate as he rubbed his neck, thinking it a bit too soon after all he'd put them through. "We stopped an escaped whacko, so Batman has to count that as a new good deed." Cy agreed.
"I also believe that our state therefore broke when the machine had been made obsolete." Starfire nodded. "Beastboy and I are no longer drooling, filthy norbliks!"
The teens together, laughed at her joke as Robin stared out at the sun coming up behind them. "Morning…" He rasped… "We don't have enough time. Four days is all he said we have."
"Three more baddies."
"We are therefore, in luck." Raven pulled at her unit on her cloak as Dick heard the report like a radio on replay. ~ This just in; the Hive is attacking a museum in Jump City before opening hours. The trio is not backing down, but will our famous team of teen heroes?? ~
"They, said favorite…" Dick swallowed. "Us?"
"Uh, yeah! That's what we do. What you do, right? No more going back to that baddie. That we got this one?"
"Together." Raven said a bit out of character.
"Yeah, I think I could…"
Starfire jumped for joy, yet Dick knew this love fest was just a part of their plan. A plan to destroy everything he'd gotten world famous over a few months. Two, and counting…
Or, was it over?...

Well, we shall see about that. I cut it short because Slade will talk Moddie into the nut house in aft two here. Dick did something good without flying off the handle. He is…better, but was Slade really the reason why? Find out!
