Turf Wars Pt. 4

Both movies served to be entertaining enough to keep Red awake. Terra was on the edge of her seat through out the entire sci-fi horror while Jinx was burined in Red's arm most the time. Likewise, Jinx was fully invested in the fantasy while Terra ended up falling asleep on Red's shoulder during one of the slower parts. Red decided that he would call it a day after the two movies, mostly due to the need to go outside and move some.

Croc had given him a call and told him about a nightclub he wanted to check out which Red agreed to. Jinx and Terra also decided to go as well since it was a place where people like Croc and Jinx were welcomed. Red was glad there was some place they could go without judgemental stares. The trio head exited the movies only to find that the sun had gone down.

Red: You know where the Club is?

Jinx: Yep. Just follow me.

Red: I get my own cute guide?

Jinx rolled her eyes and began to lead the way while Red held Terra's hand.

Terra: So, I'm still a bit confused. Why did those guys go on the adventure in the first place?

Jinx: Maybe if you stayed awake you would've known.

Red: Yeah. There's still a stain from your drooling on my shoulder.

Terra went full red due to embarrassment. Red laughed at her expense before pulling her closer to him.

Red: You're too cute. Both of you.

Jinx hummed in agreement. It didn't take too long before they found the place Croc told them about. Jinx pulled off her bow and allowed her original appearance to return. Terra smiled at the sight while Red felt grateful that someone so beautiful can like someone like him.

The three entered the club, after a very heated stare off with the bouncer, and immediately spotted Croc in the corner drinking. As they got closer, Red realized that Dex was with him. The cat greeted them with a loud meow before hopping onto the table to make room for the three to sit down.

Red: I see you started the party without us.

Croc: Didn't want to interrupt the date. How'd it go?

Terra: He didn't leave us to rob a bank.

Croc looked visibly confused but didn't question it. Red ordered drinks and the group fell into idle chit chat.

Jinx: See now, I just don't get why the Titans are suddenly all over us. We weren't important before.

Terra: We weren't fighting with the Flush gang before either. Maybe that has something to do about it?

Jinx: That does make sense.

Croc: Maybe we're finally moving on up in the world.

Red had to smile at the comment. Jinx had told him that she and Croc had started the Family 4 years ago. Jinx was a runaway when Croc found her and took her in. They were finally out there like she had wanted. Red couldn't help but feel proud.

Soon enough they had their drinks and began the night that was sure to bring blank memories in the morning. It didn't matter to them. Tonight was the night they could let loose. At least they thought.

The front door was blown down causing all of the occupants to stand in surprise. In stepped none other than Bumblebee, Jericho, and another girl Red didn't recognize. A crossbow? Really?

Actually, she looked familiar. Really familiar. Red suddenly found himself touching his chest. Why did it suddenly hurt? Why did he suddenly feel guilty?

The three heroes spotted the group just as they managed to slip out of the table in a poor attempt to escape.

Croc: Shit.

Red quickly activated the watch as Croc picked up a nearby table and threw it at the three heroes. Jinx released a blast of magic energy which cut through the table and collided with Bumblebee. Terra's hand glowed yellow before a large chunk of the ground flew up underneath Jericho which slammed him against the ceiling. The crossbow chick lifted up her weapon and fired off a bolt which headed right towards Red. Red simply smirked under his mask and caught the bolt without much effort.

Red: Too easy.

He flipped the bolt in his fingers and threw it right back. Crossbow girl dodged which gave the group time to escape. They left through the back door and began to laugh at the rudden rush of adrenaline.

Croc: Why the hell are they even here?

Red: Probably got a complaint that a giant dinosaur was at a bar!

The two laughed before Croc punched the boy's shoulder. Dex was now in his lantern outfit and flew next to them. Red gave the small animal a quick pet before a loud roar interrupted their good time. A giant green tiger landed in front of them. Soon he was joined by a boy riding a metal disk which was covered in electricity.

Red stopped dead in his tracks. His mind suddenly flash with another memory which caused his head to hurt.

What the hell?

Jinx: Static Shock? Come on!

Terra: Gar.

Static Shock: Just give us Y/N and we'll be on our way.

Beast Boy: We don't want to fight but we will.

The two heroes were almost surprised at the criminals' reactions. They seemed confused as they looked at each other.

Red: Did you kidnap someone Croc?

Croc: I was at home all day watching MTV.

Everyone looked at the humanoid crocodile.

Croc: I like Teen Mom. Sue me.

Red shook his head before pulling out two Xs.

Red: Doesn't matter. We don't have anyone named Y/N. You're barking up the wrong tree.

He threw the two Xs but Static stopped one midair with a electric blast while Beast Boy simply dodged.

Red: Shit.

???: Maybe you should try to kill them instead of just hurting them.

No. They weren't much of a threat. If what they said is true then they can avoid a fight. It began to rain suddenly pushing for a decision.

Red: Look, we don't really want to fight either. It's our day off so maybe we can just go our own ways and call it a day.

Seemed reasonable enough. He really didn't know who they were looking for but he did know that they didn't have him.
