Chapter 23: Path Chosen
LM and the Titans walked down the Maintenance Passage passing many doors as they go. LM looked back at the team and saw that their clothes were ripped a little and had a few scratches and cuts here and there, but they succeeded on their mission.
LM: Looks like you guys went through hell to beat those APUs down.
Beast Boy: We had adventures tougher then that. We're professionals in the super hero business.
LM: Of course you guys are super heroes. But I hope Lock won't kill me after I tell him that we ripped the APUs in pieces.
LM then stopped at the middle of one of the passage hallways.
LM: Well this is it.
Cyborg: What's it?
LM: Time to say goodbye to you guys.
Starfire: You mean you're not joining us for a celebration of feast?
LM: I'm a captain of my own team guys, I have other stuff to do, and I believe they are waiting for me at the after party in Zion.
Robin: I guess that means that we'll see you later.
LM: Guess so.
Raven: It's been nice knowing you LM.
Terra: Yeah, you were amazing at the club, and you impressed us on the skills.
Cyborg: The way you fight was crazy.
Starfire: Indeed, you act like the Kapuzaks in the Lilothe War.
Beast Boy: And it was so cool when you fought with the gangs in the meeting.
LM: Thanks guys, but it was all for the challenge. No doubt about it.
LM shook each of the Titans hands and gave Robin one of his keys from the chain. He then pointed to one of the green doors.
LM: Take that door over there, it'll lead you back to the Tower.
Robin: Thanks. Come on Titans; let's go home.
Robin approached the door and opened it with the key. Each Titan entered the door one at a time. Robin was the last Titan in the passage and was about to leave until LM started to say something.
LM: Robin!
Robin looked at LM for a minute.
LM: Thanks for saving me.
Robin: Actually LM, I would like to thank you for everything. You bought a whole new meaning to the Teen Titans. You showed us that even we can risk everything to protect what's right. And you gave us a brand new life in the Titans fire.
LM: Really? Then that means that Slade's better watch out, cause the new improved Teen Titans we'll be there.
Both Robin and LM chuckled a bit.
LM: Well, goodbye Robin.
Robin: See you.
Robin left the passage and closed the door behind him. LM opened the door close to him and exited the passage with a tear on his face. A week had passed after the destruction of the Alterer. The police were investigating the fierce explosion at the oilrig. Back at Metro City, LM was riding his Yamaha V Star 1100 down the streets. Commander Lock ordered LM to go on a solo mission to rescue a member of the Zealots. LM wondered why he wouldn't bring his team to this mission, even on a rescue mission like this. He arrived at an old rundown house and got off his bike to look around.
LM: No cops, no agents, and no surprises. This is too easy.
LM took out his pistol and slowly opened the door. He looked around the inside of the house, just in case someone was waiting for him. He entered the living room and saw a chair in the middle with a dim light above it. He then saw someone tied to the chair, that someone looked like one of the Zealots members. LM put his pistol away and approached the back of the chair and untied the ropes.
LM: Hang on my friend, I'll get you out of here.
LM was about to pick the member up, but when he turned to the front of the chair, he saw only a dummy.
LM: What the...
All of a sudden, something penetrated his neck. LM pulled it out and looked at it. It was an empty tranquilizer dart.
LM: Crap.
LM suddenly fell into a deep sleep and collapsed to the ground. One hour later, LM slowly woke up, feeling a little drowsy. He looked around and found out he was strapped to a wheelchair. He also noticed he was in a hallway he never saw before.
Agent Jackson: You're up Mr. Morgado.
LM looked in front and saw Agent Jackson walking. He took a quick look at the back and saw Agent Williams pushing the wheelchair.
LM: Jackson, I should've known that the whole rescue was a trap all along.
Agent Jackson: You are a clever boy Mr. Morgado. Too bad you didn't expect it early. Oh and don't expect to get out of there, we gave you yellow pill that can disable your focusing ability for a short time. And we removed your weapons in case you pull something stupid.
LM: So where am I? This doesn't look like the federal building.
Agent Jackson: Patience Mr. Morgado, patience.
They then stopped at a steel door. Agent William carefully removed the straps from LM's wrists and ankles and took out his pistol, just in case. LM walked to the steel door but turned to Jackson.
LM: I promise you Jackson, when I get out of this prison, I will get rid of you, once and for all.
Agent Jackson: Believe me Mr. Morgado. When you get in that room, you'll never be the same.
LM approached the door and the door automatically slides open. He went into a dark room with Agent Jackson following him. LM then looked in shock to see the Oracle and Morpheus in the room.
LM: Morpheus, Oracle!
The Oracle: Hello LM, how are you?
LM: Besides getting lured in a trap, I'm fine. What are you doing in jail? Did the agents took you in too?
Morpheus: Actually LM, you're not in a prison cell.
LM: If I'm not in a cell, then where the hell am I?
Agent Jackson: Mr. Morgado, welcome to your new home.
Agent Jackson turned on the lights. Since the lights were too bright, LM covered his eyes.
All: SURPRISE!
LM slowly opened his eyes and saw the Teen Titans (in their regular uniforms). He then saw a room that's half of Last Hope's rooms and half of a modern room. There was a desk filled five Dell computer screens connected to multiple modems with the center screen showing the Matrix code. On two separate walls were weapon displays filled with weapons like the M-29 OICW rifle, the SG-552 rifle, a 40 MM grenade launcher, and an RPG rocket launcher. There's a table with tools and a strobe light above it, looks like a place to modify weapons. There was no bed, but there's an old fashion telephone on top of a rounded table at the center of the room, where a person can exit the Matrix from there. LM looked around and was speechless.
LM: What the- How the- Is this a- What's going on here? (looking at the Oracle) Oracle?
The Oracle: LM, do you still remember when I said to you to choose your own path?
LM: Yeah, so?
The Oracle: I believe you found your path.
LM: And you Jackson.
Agent Jackson: Like I said to you before Mr. Morgado, I'm just doing my job. And I don't like the fact of you joining in.
LM: Joining in? I already found my path? (looking at Robin) Robin, What are they talking about?
Robin: Well, me and the team been thinking about it for a while and decided to add another member to the team.
LM: And you did all this for me?
Terra: Since you helped us defeat Slade and save our city, we thought that we give you your own room.
Beast Boy: Yeah, but it took us a while convincing the guy at the gun shop that we're giving the guns to a friend.
Cyborg: There's another gift we need to give you.
Cyborg threw something into LM's hand. LM looked at it and it was a car key with the LM's initials on the chain.
Cyborg: I thought that you need your own ride. I went to every car dealership and found the perfect car for you. Look at one of the screens.
LM looked at one of the screens and saw a classic Pontiac GTO sitting in the Titan's garage.
Cyborg: I made a couple of modifications and installed a storage compartment in your trunk for your weapons.
Robin: There's one more thing I need to show you.
Robin took out his communicator pushed a button. LM then heard his Samsung cell phone ringing. He took it out and looked at the phone's screen. The screen showed a green T flashing in front of him.
LM: So you mean to tell me that I'm a- I'm a-
Robin: A Teen Titan. Welcome to the team LM.
Cyborg: Aw yeah, very nice.
Raven: Glad to see you on the team.
Starfire: Welcome new Titan.
The Oracle: Congratulations LM, you earned it.
LM: But what about my team? What about Last Hope?
Morpheus: Don't worry LM, Silent Night will be leading the team for now on. They'll be all right.
LM: Titans, I don't know what to say. This is all nice, the room, the car. What I like to say is, thank you.
Beast Boy: No sweat dude, we thought that it's great to have someone like you on the team.
Raven: Yeah, and you did help us save the world from Slade.
Robin: You deserve it.
LM walked to Jackson with a sly smile on his face.
LM: Guess this means we won't fight each other for a while, huh Jackson?
Agent Jackson: Indeed, it was nice knowing and fighting you Mr. Morgado. But when we meet again, I can assure you that I won't go easy on you.
LM: Let's hope that would happen. Bye Jackson.
Jackson left the room with a pissed off look on his face.
The Oracle: All right kids, I think it's time for a celebration. I got some home baked chocolate chip cookies at the living room.
Robin: Mmmm...
Starfire: Perfect!
Beast Boy: Do you have tofu cookies?
Everyone left the room but LM stayed behind.
Robin: LM, are you coming?
LM: Yeah, I'll catch up with you guys in a minute.
Robin left the room as the door closed from behind him. Once the room was empty, LM took off the sunglasses that once belonged to Neo.
LM: Neo, if you're out there, I would wish to say thank you for everything.
LM placed the glasses on the desk and left the room to join the others. When he left, a small twinkle of the Matrix code came down on one of the lenses. After a year of searching, LM has finally chosen his path. The path of the Teen Titans.
The End
If you like that story, I got other in the works. I got TT crossovers, LM's history, Star's and Robin's future daughter, and a few Raven/LM pairings. Please review this story.
