“ Alright, now we’re touching it. “
The Titans had sat through yet another news cast dealing with the rash of inexpensive, well, used to be inexpensive, robberies. But this time, something was taken that they could not ignore.
Raven was already on the console to the super computer, typing and bringing up data that they could possibly use. Cyborg and Beast Boy were saving their game so they could come back to it later. Starfire was working on another terminal to bring up all the articles on the subject published recently. Robin was standing over Raven’s shoulder silently, his mind already working at hyperdrive to figure out to reason behind all this.
“ Alright, “ He said finally, “ What do we know? “
Beast Boy piped up as he hopped over the back of the couch. “ The city’s getting a bad case of Robin Hood? “
Cyborg dug his elbow into the top of the younger, green male. “ And the crimes are starting to rise in terms of cost and inconvenience.“
Starfire floated over, above the heads of her teammates/friends. She chose to hover just slightly over their shoulders so everyone had enough room to see.“ While I agree with the sentiment that the shortening of holidays is most unpleasant, I do not approve of the recent crimes committed. They seem to be more of an attempt to annoy the alpha administration. Perhaps it is some activist group? “
Raven glanced at the Tamaranian.“ Not to mention the large-scale assumption that one if not all crimes are committed by the teenage population. It may or may not be true, but there’s no proof either way. “
Robin narrowed his eyes at the screen; glaring at the objects that had been stolen like they were responsible for their own disappearance. HIVE just destroyed things. Rancid had no idea of tact. Killer Moth also destroyed things. Dr. Light...was insane. Control Freak...was too lazy to plan out something like this. And his ever-present least favorite villain still considered it beneath himself to do something as low as stealing to get on the nerves of the public. He didn’t care about the public. He cared about working his nerves. The public was just a collection of moving targets.
Idly, he ignored the brewing argument between Beast Boy and Cyborg over the resemblance of the crimes to that of a video game where the object was to sneak around without being caught and use shadows to get past the security and achieve your objective. It wasn’t too bad an idea, that someone could be copycatting games. After all, they had seen more bizarre.
Robin suddenly reminded himself why he put up with the two’s fighting all the time. For they just brought something to his attention. Objects disappearing without anyone having any idea why they were stolen or who stole them.
I’ll be damned...” My favorite mistake...”
____________________________________________________________________________
Raven’s fingers skated over the keys to the keyboard effortlessly. Her mind was racing, conspiracy theory running neck and neck with logic and it’s twin rational. She had already gone through the list of criminals that were capable of pulling such a crime.
Honestly, she would be a bit disappointed to find out that regular teenagers were responsible for such a crime spree. Heaters, lake management equipment, lights from their arena. None of these things were anything that would be useful or worth anything to anyone but the people who managed them. The docks already had brand new heaters. The lake was being taken care of fine. And the arena would have new lighting within a week or so.
But everytime something was stolen, it was a little bigger. And a little bigger. From worthless, average heaters, to minimally expensive equipment, to all the lights in their sports center. The next thing that was taken would probably cost a lot of money to somebody.
As she tried to find a sense of some kind of pattern in the contraband stolen, Raven felt a spark of emotion from the Boy Wonder standing next to her. Violent eyes slid over to observe him. He seemed to seep of bitterness and amusement. Effectively tuning out Starfire trying to soothe the fight between Beast Boy and Cyborg and guiding them to the opposite terminal to see if there were some kind of device that could be built with the new edition of stolen property, the empath focused on her leader.
“ ...My favorite mistake...”
Those same violent eyes narrowed as soon as the words past his lips. His favorite mistake...He could only mean two things. Red X and Slade. And Slade is already confirmed to not have a hand in this...Why didn’t we think of this before?
“ You think it’s Red X. “ It was not a question.
His eyes never strayed from the screen. “ He’s the only one that would steal things without making a fuss about it. Everyone else doesn’t mind the attention they gain. Slade would ignore the public, but he would get our attention. Red X would not. He just cares about getting what he wants and getting away. But the question remains–“
“ What would he want with those things? They’re useless to him. He can’t sell them. And they’re not in high demand. “
A snort. “ He doesn’t need a reason. He’s a criminal. “
Raven couldn’t argue with that. He was going against the laws by stealing. But all in all, he wasn’t really a bad person. All things considered, Red X could be a lot worse. Thankfully, he was just selfish instead of sadistic and psychotic. Turning around in the chair to face him, blank lavender eyes looked up at him. “ Which one? “
Robin didn’t skip a beat. “ The docks. Starfire and I will take the arena. Beast Boy and Cyborg can handle the lake. It should keep them out of trouble and away from the hostile adults. “
The empath nodded her head and floated up towards the door. Robin turned his head to address the other members of his team. “ Here’s the plan...”
____________________________________________________________________________
Beast Boy was a kid,
He knew because, well, he wasn’t an adult.
There were things that, being a kid, you were just entitled to.
They were God-given rights that everyone under the age of 21 should have access to. The freedom to rebel against the force that’s told you what’s right and wrong all your life. The privacy, space and actions that helped you shape who you are and what your personality shall be. The room to make mistakes and learn from them, or repeat them. The time to enjoy life with the energy of youth. The chance to be reckless and take risks. The time to hang out with friends and do things amusing to yourself and others. Play pranks, sports, music, parties, TV shows, video games, the mall, road trips, all a part of shaping your person.
These were all things that he took pride and joy in. Because he was an adolescent. Unfortunately, he knew this was not the case for most of the teenage population of the city. And he felt guilty when he could go out and do things, while others could not, simply because, he helped saved the city.
Honestly, he was torn between being disappointed and being proud. The underaged population was fighting back. But they were doing it the wrong way. Things that had been done to protect everyone, albeit outrageous, were still done for the good of everyone. Whether or not prejudice heavily influence such laws, he was completely sure.
Even still, it didn’t make for anyone stealing or breaking the law. And he had to remember, whenever they faced who was responsible, not to go easy on them just because he sympathized with their cause. He was a hero first and a teenager second.
As if it wasn’t hard enough being under 18.
Green eyes looked to where he assumed his leader’s eyes would be as the Boy Wonder gave them their orders and where they were going to be doing their reconnaissance. Him and Cyborg in the park, was it? Well, at least if they couldn’t find anything, they’d be able to play around with plenty of room.
He hopped up and hung onto Cyborg’s shoulder as the older male downloaded some information. “ Dude, if we don’t find anything, we settle that laser tag score. “
Cyborg snorted. “ There’s nothing to settle. I just need one more hit on your green ass. “
“ Screw you, one more hit! I can come back! “
“ It was 24-3.”
“ It means nothing! I’m just an underdog! “ The green being further emphasized his point by transforming into a mutt.
Cy just shook his head at him. “ C’mon Marmaduke, we got work to do before you get owned.”
____________________________________________________________________________
Alice Whitaker was not a stupid girl.
The youngest person to ever attend Jump High, she had quite the reputation for being the exact opposite.
Simply put, the girl was a genius.
There was a time when being a genius such as herself gave you more opportunities and chances to do things that normal kids didn’t get a chance to do. Unfortunately, when you lived Jump City, nothing normal tended to happen. She was watched with a critical eye. For another genius on the wrong side of the law was all they needed. It was a bit insulting, for all her work with electronics and mathematics to monitored so and her intentions constantly questioned. There were many of her creations that had met their end unfairly because of fear that they would be used against the city.
When Alice had gotten that fateful phone call that particular day weeks ago, she had been waist deep in a crude model of a particle acceleration machine. It had been just what she needed to hear. And at first, she didn’t believe the people on the other end of the phone were serious, but they could be. With their ideas and number, her genius and creations, plus the mental input of other minds not quite as gifted as hers, but useful enough, they could be very successful.
And so far, she gathered, they were. She was working on the final touches of a neutralizing flash bomb. They were going to need it for their next job. For security cameras were going to be a problem that they didn’t want to deal with. If someone saw them before they had time to get their goods and get away, they would be facing the entire JCPD in less than 5 minutes.
That girl, Rebella Avalon, she reminded her of a mystical being she had read about while she was waiting for the rest of her class to finish their tests. The woman was an ice maiden. Cold, calculating, she was only seen by those she deemed worthy. Pale, white as snow skin with blue streaks running from her hips to her thighs and down her shoulders. The same streaks on her face under her eyes and over her cheeks. Ice blue eyes and frigid hair. She was clothed in a pale blue wrap, secured on one side of her waist by a silver ring. A matching color piece of material wrapped around her bustline. To anyone, it looked like her clothes would fall off at any minute, but she knew what she was doing. If you were in Hanagoori’s presence, staring at her body was not what your attention was on.
She had the gift of Utaiageru. Singing with her strength and energy, and empowering all those around her with her voice. She was pivotal to the fight against their planet’s oppressor. She lifted her voice to the hero’s powers, and the all-powerful, supreme evil was destroyed.
Hopefully, that would be the case here with their leader. Said leader they had only seen twice, when she greeted them at the door, and when she stood next to Derrick as he explained what she had planned out for them.
And she would see her again tonight. Some girl had made the comment about her making a lot of plans and giving a lot of orders, not that they had a problem, but what if one of her plans went wrong or something happened while they were out. None of them would know what to do. So the next time Derrick came down from the roof of the abandoned apartment/bar building, she was with him. People rushed her and asked her questions and tugged on her clothes and someone of the smaller ones around her age even hugged her. She lifted one little girl up, someone’s child in the room, and held a hand up to calm them down.
She pointed to her mouth and shook her head. Then pointed to them and pointed to herself proudly, then gave a thumbs up. Not everyone knew what that meant. But it was a good enough sign when she placed the child down and hopped up on Derrick’s back. He supplied them with the explanation that she was going with them.
Alice finished up and shut the panel on the side of her latest creation. “ Finish! “ She announced and passed it along to the other smart minds she was working with. They checked over her work and prints and calculations with critical eyes. But she knew her work was perfect. It had to be. This had to go off without a hitch.
She hopped down from her bar stool and ventured over to where the other bi, tri and multilingual kids were. One of them helped her on top of the table so she could argue her point if they got into a heated discussion again about the differences in a book through the other language translations and such.
Alice pointed to the small box that was being passed up to the area where the announcements were made. What used to be a band area. “ Pika. “
They, a band of 5, turned their heads to look. “ Bright enough? “
Her hand waved. “ Hai. “ Then out of her pocket, she pulled a small enhanced PDA to show them the plans. “ Whitikuker no Pika. “
Several of them snickered. Alice pouted and set to work on her PDA for something new. The two who hadn’t snickered looked over her shoulders at what she was doing. “ Nanda? “
Alice giggled to herself. “ Sokotsumono ten matsuki. “ Then she pointed to Rebelle, who was sitting on the other side of the room holding someone else’s child and listening to something another person was saying.
This was going to make a great book one day.
____________________________________________________________________________
They had to be absolutely silent as they snuck towards the automobile lot through the woods. A few branches being snapped was all they could chance. Anything like falling or knocking some tree over would draw entirely too much attention. Nothing that they needed in large amounts.
They were a small band. No more than 10, no less than 8. All of them varied in size, but all were big enough to dwarf all the plant and animal life, excluding the trees they were trying hard not to brush up against too much. A smaller form and one of the larger ones paused near the edge of the wooded area, where the parking lot of a car dealership began. Both of them dug into satchels around their shoulders and retrieved small, circular, metallic objects. Said objects were then tossed from their hiding place to roll down the small incline the wooded area ended on.
The small balls of metal rolled down into the parking lot and under two cars. Then they came to a stop just past the bumpers. Silence reigned once again as their movement stopped.
BUUUUZZZZZ-POP!
Both metallic objects burst into blinding light. The security cameras in the parking lot up on lamp posts fell limp with no power. As soon as the light died down, those dwelling in the wooded area rushed from their hiding place and towards the very middle of the lot. Their black clothing did little to hide them as they stopped where one of the lamp lights could shine down on them. The smaller form that had thrown a flashbulb-nullifier pointed in various directions quickly; their gloved hands shiny faintly from the leather that coated them in the light of the almost deserted area. Without taking a second to confirm their orders, they all split, two by two in the indicated directions.
The form that had given the directions and the other, larger figure that had thrown the other flash bomb hastily made their way over to a particular styled sports car. It was red, and low to the ground, made by a well-known and glorified company and the engine was even still warm. The smaller one gestured for the larger one to come around to their side and pointed to the key hole. The bigger one complied and knelt down until it was eye-level with the lock. It then produced some instruments from it’s sleeves, and set to work picking the lock.
This was going on in other parts of the lot as well. All the black figures were picking locks on the same type of car. Low to the ground, sports, same well-known company and all of the cars black but the one the leaders were working on. It was candy apple red.
It had barely been 5 seconds before the locks popped open. The others took a little longer than 10-15. And as soon as they were open, work was started on the ignition. That which could be started in less time, given they knew what they were going up against ahead of time. In even less time than it took for the locks, the cars were started and the doors were closed. Both occupants secured themselves and backed the cars from their places.
Unfortunately, that was just how long it took the security to come and check out what was the disturbance with the cameras.
“ HEY!! Get out of those cars! “
The one in the driver’s seat of the red car ripped off the mask on his face and looked in the rearview mirror, as did his passenger. “ Shit, “ he cursed, then revved up the engine. “ Time to go! “
_____________________________________________________________________________
Robin couldn’t have asked for a better reason to be woken up in the middle of the night to fight crime.
Because there wasn’t one.
If there was one thing that Robin did envy about the kids of the city, it was that they could sleep full nights without having to be awakened by an attack that they had to stop. They only had to worry about it at all if the attack was in an area where they lived. And then only because they might be crushed in the ensuing battle.
There wasn’t anything he wanted more than to shut that damn flashing alarm off and go right back to sleep. But he couldn’t. He knew. Duty called. And the heart shall wait. Or in this case, the eyes. And he was lucid enough to function. By the time they got to the scene, he would be completely battle ready.
Besides, he thought arrogantly, none of these guys can even beat me on their best day.
Running a hand through his hair and adjusting his mask on his face, the Boy Wonder shoved his covers aside and went to get dressed and make his way to the garage. He needed to get to the R-Cycle and the scene of the crime.
By the time he felt the hum of his precious cycle, Robin was awake, alert and completely wary. His helmet helped in protecting his eyes from the unforgiving wind of the road while he tracked and pursued the source of the disturbance. The T-Car was not that far ahead of him, and Beast Boy was flying on one side, Starfire on the other.
Every time, it took him a few seconds to wonder where Raven was, then remember she was inside the T-Car with Cyborg. And another few seconds for him to squash the nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach at the thought of Raven and Cyborg in the car together; just the two of them. He didn’t have time to analyze feelings or discover just which emotion it was. They had a job to do.
“ Someone’s broken into Leary’s Auto Dealership and stolen 4 cars. We’re looking for 3 black Porches and 1 red one. “ He heard Cyborg’s voice over his com. link.
Robin looked over the coordinates. “ Sounds like someone wanted to go for a joyride without paying. Any clues as to who it is? “
This time it was Raven’s voice he heard. “ The security guard said all he could tell was that the thieves were dressed in black. “
At that, Robin’s hands tightened on the handle bars. It sounded like Red X so much. Dressed in black, stealing all black cars and one red one. It was like he was taunting him. But then his mind caught up with the rest of her statement.
Thieves dressed in black. More than one...Either he’s got partners, or it’s not him. Wait a minute, who the hell is it–? “ It’s them...”
Starfire piped up and pointed in front of them. “ Friends! I think I see the ones responsible for the vehicle disappearance. “
Just ahead of them, were the twin headlights of a particular sports car. As soon as it came over the hill, 4 more just like it came over the hill behind it. All of them had to be going over the speed limit. The closer they got the less like cars they started to look like. As the black and red blurs raced by, Starfire and Beast Boy were thrown for a loop from their passing.
“ Gyaaaah! @@ “ Beast Boy instinctively, turned into a flapping bat to stay in the air and regain his bearings.
Starfire blinked a few times and straightened out her hair. Cyborg hit the brakes, then the gas, and viciously turned the steering wheel to the left for a U-turn in the middle of the road. Robin had to get up on the rock wall to avoid being run over, before he too turned around. Pulling up on the handle bars, he revved the engine, front wheel in the air, then let it fall down and tore down the street; quickly gaining on the speedy brigade.
Raven reached over to press a button on the dashboard. A blue light appeared on the roof of the car as a warning. The perpetrators had to know that if they didn’t stop, the Titans would take powerful, and possibly damaging action. But all she got for the warning was an increase in speed and the cars breaking their formation.
Eyes glowed, weapons were drawn and cannons were raised even before Robin hollered, “ TITANS! GO! “
_____________________________________________________________________________
“ We got company...”
The red car had been in the very front of the whole formation. But with the sudden appearance of the Titans in back of them, all the cars broke. The passenger in the red vehicle turned around to see just how close their were. But given the bright lights and compromised visuality by the mask they were wearing, they could only see several shapes gaining on them fast.
The simple black mask was ripped off with a vengeance, revealing multi-colored hair and annoyed brown eyes. Their dark-skin shining under the harsh highway lights as the car leaned towards the edge of the road. With the car being topless, she could easily stand up in the seat and see behind them. The Boy Wonder was getting the closest. Behind him was that damn Titan car and in the air were the green one and the second alien girl. She could only guess that the first one was in the car with Cyborg.
“ Shit...” Without removing her eyes from the super heros behind them, she threw her hand out to the side. “ SCATTER! “
So many things happened at once, the Titans could barely keep up with it all. Two of the black cars raced forward with the aided power of nitros. Beast Boy and Starfire chased after those. One slammed on the brakes so they went ahead, did a quick spin and tore off in the opposite direction. The last black one popped up on two wheels and drove up the rock wall to reach to street atop it. The remaining red car did it’s best to get in the way of Robin’s cycle and the T-Car. The R-cycle was struggling a little to remain upright. While the T-Car’s windshield had been cracked by Rebelle’s voice giving her command.
“ Now what Rebel Girl? “ The driver of the red car removed a hand from the steering wheel to snatch off his mask; revealing pale skin and unconcerned blue eyes despite the situation. “ We can’t outrun them in this car. “
Rebelle looked to him, then looked back at the Titans. “ Hell...” She turned around and plopped in her seat, “ They’re a lot more tenacious in person! “
She had known that they were bound to run into the Titans if they were discovered. And she had planned for the other cars to get away while they stalled the Titans, but now she didn’t know what to do. If the Titans broke off and intercepted the other cars, it was going to suck.
Growing annoyed with the situation, she reached over and wrenched the stereo on. Then turned it all the way up. The noise was so loud, it actually made a few rocks fall down from the wall next to them.
It took her a few moments to realize it, but an idea formed seconds later. “ Saa...” Rebelle turned around to face the upcoming Titans, and the R-cycle mid-turn. She had to act fast or the Boy Wonder would get away. Unfortunately, she had no idea if this plan would work at all. She had little to no understanding about her powers at all. But there really wasn’t a choice. The Titans would not let her and RJ go, she knew. So she had to make them let go.
In the seconds it took for the next song to come on, Rebelle’s heart was beating a mile a minute. She felt like she did those times when she was playing a video game and there was a possibility of her getting in a very powerful move. She felt that it was a good opportunity, and that if it hit, the fight would be hers, but if it missed, she’d never have a chance like that again.
All her attention was directed on the Boy Wonder, who was still in mid-turn, mere seconds being slowed down to eons in her mind. He was going after the car that went off in another direction. None of the other drivers would be able to stay away from the Titans for long. The two ahead of her and RJ weren’t that far away; she could still the headlights. This was it.
“ ALRIGHT!! “
Her voice had the desired effect, with her head facing the Titans in pursuit. Robin’s cycle was nearly toppled; stopped only by a sudden coat of black...whatever it was. Encouraged by this, and knowing now that there was no way back, a plan formed in her head as the song went to the first verse.
“ RJ...Tell the others to meet up on the highway once we get off this road. I want them all in front of us, single file. We watch their backs. And when I say ‘ ride ‘, that’s just what the fuck we all do, savvy? “
She couldn’t turn her head to see if he heard all that she said, but it was the best she could do at the time. She’d know soon enough. Focusing all her attention on the Boy Wonder again, Rebelle raised her voice to the words.
“ With you it’s never good enough, because you want the stuff, that could change your future. You’re lost amongst a sea of chance, and now the more you dance, just gets you sinking deeper! “
By now, the Boy Wonder had to be saved twice from being knocked from the road and over the side of the edge. The T-Car was still holding up behind them. And the green Titan, Beast Boy, she recalled his name to be, had hung back a little to see if his assistance was needed.
Unfortunately, Rebelle hadn’t counted on the abilities of the dark Titan, Raven. For before she knew it, the car was coated in black and was forcibly slowing down. In the time it took her to observe their front, their back was being attacked.
“ Aw hell no you don’t! “ With that thought angering her slightly, Rebelle threw her hand out forward and continued to sing with the music, “ You don’t know what you’re striving for and you never seem to try. It’s too early! Don’t live your lie! Keep on moving! It’s time to...! RIDE! “
As soon as the word left her lips, the black coat left the car, the T-Car’s windshield completely broke and the front of the car smushed in a little bit. RJ had pressed the nitro button and the car lurched forward. It was so fast that Rebelle could barely keep from flying over the back end of the car and into the street. But she caught herself and continued to shout out with the lead singer as the Titans played catch-up. She had not even noticed, that when she tossed her hand out, a light bluish glow engulfed her hand.
“ RIDE! RIDE! RIDE! “
With those three shouts, and her hand out directing her voice towards them, the T-Car was forced to slow down. The engine was being crushed under her force. The R-Cycle had to accelerate quickly to avoid being knocked into as Cyborg struggled to maintain control.
Pleased with herself, but not forgetting again, Rebelle turned in her seat, putting her other hand out in front of the car, the same glow coming over it; trying to aim somewhat at the other two Titans.
“ NOW IT’S TIME TO RIDE! RIDE! RIDE! RII~IDE! “
Apparently, her aim was a little off, because aside from knocking off center the two Titans, she’d hit the rock wall, and caused rocks to fall. The two black cars ahead of them had to swerve to miss them. Rebelle winced, and decided not to try that again. Instead, she turned her attentions back to the three Titans in back of her.
Which she couldn’t have done sooner, for three Birdarangs impaled themselves into the trunk of the car. This surprised her so much, she screamed and put her hands up. And as soon as she got the sound past her lips, the explosive discs that were being hurled in her direction flew right back the way they came from. But just a little off, like her aim seemed to have a knack for doing tonight. The discs were tossed into the open windshield of the T-Car.
Cyborg looked like he gave a little cry of surprise, but Raven simply...melted out of the car’s roof. Rebelle knew they were in trouble now, even though they had taken out one Titan. It would only be a matter of time before one of the flying ones picked him up and he joined back into the fight. Which was happening as she moved onto the second verse. The Titan that threw glowing green things was racing back to get Cyborg.
That left her to contend with Raven, Robin and Beast Boy. Luckily, they were close to the bridge leading into the inner city. Rebelle looked down at RJ to see how he was handling all of this. To her surprise, well not entirely, the boy was grinning. Shaking her head at him, the unaverage girl turned her attentions to the 4 Titans in back of her and the one in front.
It seemed Beast Boy had eaten his Wheates this day, for his brain was working up a plan. So it seemed, as he transformed into a whale and opened his mouth to intercept all the cars.
But Rebelle would have none of it, turning around and throwing her arm out to the side in an formation command; the blue coloring flaring to an electric cerulean. “ MOVE! “
At her vocal command, the cars all popped up on two wheels and headed towards the rock wall to drive upon it and get over the massive form of the green whale. Luckily, the force of her yell had pushed him back a few feet so they had enough room to get their speed up and maintain their balance.
Her hands were a lighter color when RJ tore from the road onto the rock wall, which was ending right about the point of Beast Boy’s tail. Her eyes had closed until she felt the horizontal ground under her, rather than right next to her head. One brown eye peeked open, then another one. They were okay. And the Titans were again, playing catch-up.
“ Hell yeah bitch! “ She cheered, throwing her fist in the air, now without the glow; at the same time, blowing out the windshield from the car. RJ jumped and gave her a sour look. Her answering look was sheepish, but not near apologetic. For they were not out of danger yet.
Idly, Rebelle wondered if that Raven girl had read her mind, because as soon as she thought that, that black coat came over the car again. And this time, she was aided with an attack of a green humming bird pecking at her. Plus the flash discs the Boy Wonder was throwing at them from his bike. And the flying redhead was trying to move in and grab the car to slow it down from their side.
RJ did his best to keep the car away from the alien girl and knock her into the trees and bushed area where the rock wall used to be. But he would not be keeping this up. The car was already slowing down again.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, shit, fuck and other such explicatives!! I need a song! Any fucking song! We have to get out of here. If we get caught, there goes the fucking machine all over again!
Rebelle kept her arms up to block Beast Boy’s poking and annoying hum. But the car was still slowing down. They were out of the triple digits and into the low doubles. This was getting out of hand. And she was getting pissed off.
“ Grr...BACK OFF!! BACK OFF! BACK! OFF! BACK THE FUCK OFF!! “
Her furious yelling had the desired effect. Beast Boy was thrown back into Cyborg and Starfire. Robin was tossed from his R-Cycle, and had to be intercepted by Raven, who’s powers were shoved back in her face. It was just the break they needed. Rebelle kept her back to RJ and her eyes on the Titans.
“ All of them, across the bridge. Then scatter! “
RJ nodded and gunned it once again.
_____________________________________________________________________________
This had been one exciting night. So far they’d stolen cars, avoided the police, evaded the Teen Titans, so far. And they were close to getting away. Unfortunately, they were just as close to getting caught.
Derrick Smith was not about getting caught and taken to jail.
He and Rebelle were the leaders in this. And it was his job to pass along changes in plan through the homemade communication units they had. Little black boxes that fit into the insides of their shirts, and had a mouthpiece that hooked onto the collar. The earpiece was a small black rubber piece that fit completely in the ear.
“ Attention all units! The tide is gettin’ high! Ride on! I repeat, ride on! “
As if the night wasn’t already kicking their ass, the bridge decided they weren’t having a hard enough time. The warning lights on their end of it started to turn red. The bridge was starting to lift and separate. The last of the black cars just barely made it across without scraping its underside.
By now, Rebelle was quite tired and her throat was starting to hurt. Then there was this extreme hunger in her stomach. She felt like she could eat out a whole McMeaty’s restaurant. Seeing the Titans indisposed for at least a little while, she slumped down in the seat and pressed a hand to her forehead.
Her look to RJ said it all, “ Are we almost done? “
He nodded to the bridge ahead, but showed no signs of slowing down. Rebelle whined and covered her eyes with that same hand. But RJ nudged her with his elbow. “ Hey, “ He said without taking his eyes from the road as they neared the bridge, “ You think you can hit that bridge as we pass over it? “
She blinked once. Twice. Three times. Then it hit her, what he was planning. As long as the Titans had a means of getting to them, they would keep trying to get to them. Nervously, she chewed her lip and looked at the bridge they were about to go over. The road was already lifting up at an angle. It made her uneasy.
Worriedly, she looked over to RJ; silently asking, “ Yo, can you make that? “
The older boy grinned like a thief and pushed the car to its limit. She guessed that was her answer. Sighing and steeling her nerves for what she was about to do, Rebelle sat up again. The guard bar that came down to prevent cars from crossing the bridge broke over the front of the car. She wrapped her arm in the seatbelt next to her left hip and took a deep breath as RJ hit the nitro button one more time.
“ RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! “
The bridge just exploded into a hail of cables, metal and concrete. Rebelle mentally thanked God, there was no boat under the bridge. For anything living under there before, was dead and buried now. She was well aware of the damage a human body could take. And a concrete shower was not on the list. Her hand, had glowed that same electric blue so bright, it got her attention. And as if that didn’t work, it warmed her whole arm with an internal glow. Instead of being freaked out, she shook her hand out; hoping it would go away and focusing on their pursuers.
The Titans came to an immediate halt; a wall of black coming up before them to protect them from falling into the water, or any of the debris to come down on them. Seeing this made Rebelle smile slightly. But she was dead tired now, and so very hungry.
Hopefully, the Titans would give it up. Maybe consider the chase too dangerous, given what she had just done. And anyone else could come along and not know the bridge was out. Plus they needed to see if there was anyone trapped under the rubber.
The unaverage girl slumped into her seat with a yawn. “ Home James...”
“ Roger that, “ RJ pressed the pedal to the metal to burn rubber, then tear down the road, “ All units return to base. Repeat, all units return to base. “

SO: Damn...This is the effen longest thing, I have ever written. Who knew a highway battle could take so long? Geez...I hope ya’ll appreciate this. Cause I’m as tired as she is...
