When blood calls...

Chapter 20

Hey guys, here's a new chapter for all you lovely readers, hope you like it! Just to let you know we are getting closer to... the end! So let me know what you think in the comments!

It was a peaceful morning in Jump City; some people were exercising, others were opening their businesses and our heroes were still sleeping for at least two more hours. Until a horrible alarm started to sound around the halls and rooms of Titan Tower, that woke our heroes and got them dress up in less than a minute. Soon they were in the living room with Cyborg investigating what was the cause for the alarm and then a groggy and grumpy Danny walks through the sliding doors. He starts to shout questions at the others and for them to turn it off; Robin was the one to turn it off in order to hear what his little brother wanted.

- Thank you!- shouted Danny while uncovering his oversensitive ears which were bleeding

- Daniel, sit down; Raven, hand me the First Aid kit!- yelled Robin and basically jumped next to Danny

- Here, let me do it.- said Raven with calm and started working

- You guys need to chill! I'm fine, but I want to know what the hell was that?- said Danny in a loud voice (not shouting), his ears had already healed

- That was the doorbell.- said Cyborg

- Didn't you fix that already?- asked Robin

- Yes, I did!- answer Cyborg looking angrily at Beast Boy- Unless someone changed it, again!

- I'm sorry, I didn't think anyone would get hurt and we don't even get visits! This one is the first in months!- said Beast Boy trying to defend himself

- Enough, I'm fine and that's what matters. So, who's at the door?- said Danny after getting clean up by Raven, who he thanked for the help

- I'll put the camera of the front door and presto!- said Cyborg

Truth to his words in the big screen appeared the footage of the camera and Danny couldn't believe who was at the door. It was too early for Danny to be awake and it was definitely way too early to see his face, even if they were in a truce. Danny politely asked if he could speak with him through the cameras and Cyborg pushed a few buttons and gave him the okay sign.

- Vlad, why the HELL are you visiting us at FIVE in the morning?- said Danny while shouting at some parts to get his point across

- Little badger, I'm here to help you set up the Portal and to bring you a better version of the Specter Speeder. Besides, Daniel, the early bird gets the worm!- answer Vlad not been affected by Danny's tone of voice at all; after all he knew for a fact that Danny gains a bad temper when woken up by anything other than his own free will

- Fine, but don't expect me to do anything unless I get another hour of sleep!- said Danny while glaring at Vlad, it was just too early for him

- How about this? You get another hour of sleep and I will cook your favorite breakfast.- said Vlad in quite the cheerful voice

- ...- Danny was quiet for a moment and then asked- chocolate chip pancakes?

- Of course, Daniel!-

With that said Danny told the others to let him in and that he would return to bed. The others hesitated for a moment, but Robin knew that the man was under a truce with Danny so he agreed. During that hour, Cyborg learns how to drive the Specter Speeder and left it on the roof and Vlad made breakfast for everyone. Just as he was serving the last pancake, a horrible scream was heard. It only took a second for everyone to start heading towards Danny's room, Robin was the first one to open the door and start shaking Danny awake.
