Chapter 407 Raven: Dad?
"Oh my god—" The beast boy, who had turned into a dinosaur, was embedded hard in the wall. He had to transform back into human form to get out of the wall. "I feel like I'm sparring with Superman—"
Beast Boy was once a member of the Doom Patrol, whose leader was called Chief, a genius paralyzed from the waist down. Because of his own experience, he took in many "weirdos" who had suffered misfortune, were physically and mentally injured, and were misunderstood and rejected by the world, and healed their physical and mental trauma.
At the time, Beast Boy was suffering from a rare disease, and the Chief had to inject him with an untested serum, which turned his skin green and gave him the ability to transform into any animal at will.
Keep in mind, this is America! His green skin subjected him to discrimination, but Garfield maintained an optimistic attitude, and his abilities were actually quite remarkable. Anyone with a basic understanding of DC would guess that his abilities were related to the Red of All Beings.
However, after Flashpoint rebooted, his origin became an experiment that escaped from the Non-Existent Organization. At this time, Beast Boy's skin was red when he first appeared, which can be regarded as an indication of his relationship with the Red of All Beings.
Unfortunately, Garfield is not weak and has great potential, but he is much weaker than the Swamp Monster, the representative of the Green of All Things, let alone fighting against Zamsa.
If it weren't for the support of Raven, the daughter of the Third Princess, and the pressure on Cassie, the Wonder Girl, this slightly incomplete Teen Titans team would have been defeated by Zamza long ago.
"Use your bat family brains to think of a solution!" the Beast Boy yelled at Tim, then transformed into a mammoth and charged toward Zamsa.
Tim tossed various batarangs with different effects in his hand, saying, "Batman is definitely watching us, just hold on a little longer!"
"Persistence is victory, guys!" Cassie shouted, her fighting spirit undiminished despite being constantly beaten and running away in fear.
It seemed that Teen Titans could hold out for a while longer. Realizing this, Super Queen asked helplessly, "Luthor, do you need my help?"
If there's anything in common between the two Luthors, it's that they're both equally self-centered. What's worse, they're also their own leaders and protectors. Super Queen doesn't dare to disobey Luthor or act on her own.
No, perhaps—she could communicate with the heroes of this world, as long as she didn't fall into Rune's hands. In any case, she still wanted to protect herself and the child in her womb.
Just as the Supergirl was making her plans, Luther shouted angrily, "If you want to do it, then hurry up! That guy is coming!"
The existence of the mad mage Rune had always terrified the two of them; otherwise, Zamsa could have held off Doomsday for a while, allowing Super Queen to kill her counterpart.
However, the commotion caused by Doomsday was too great, forcing Zamsa and Queen Super to flee.
Even at this moment, the Beast Boy still had time to crack a joke, "Hey, the Luther I know is a bald bastard, you're way more handsome than him!"
Well, due to the difference in intelligence, Earth-3 Lex Luthor and the main universe Lex Luthor also have different temperaments. The latter looks sinister, cunning, and extremely intelligent, while the former gives people a very upright feeling—at least in his universe, Zamza briefly served as a superhero.
"Oh?" Zamsa grinned menacingly. "Well, thank you for the compliment, you green-skinned bastard!"
As he spoke, he punched the green mammoth on the head amidst the entanglement of countless black tentacles. Even with the raven's restraint, Luther's punch was still extremely heavy.
"Ugh! That's racist!"
The Queen, having received Luther's orders, also began to act. She started swinging her Lasso of Obedience, which, unlike the Lasso of Truth, could force an enemy to act according to her commands after binding them.
Her target is Tim the Third Robin, the "brain" who has been stabbing people in the back and constantly directing the superhero team.
He looked like a very green boy, but smart enough that he could serve as a bridge between himself and the superhero team in this world.
Then, while using her laser eyes to harass the group of little heroes, Super Queen kept looking for opportunities, and before long, she actually found their weakness.
Although the battle didn't actually last very long, both Cassie and Garfield became exhausted. Cassie, at least, had received formal training from the Amazons and had been blessed by Zeus, making him quite resilient.
However, Garfield had no training whatsoever; his fighting skills came entirely from natural talent.
Besides, even if Beast Boy learned some fighting techniques, would he have to fight enemies in human form all the time? What use would his ability to shapeshift at will then be?
This is also why he is unwilling to participate in any training.
But no matter if he transforms into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a mammoth, a wolf, or a cheetah, Beast Boy will only get beaten up if he charges in. Shazam is the Superman of the magical world, and Zamsa is no less impressive.
So, after being knocked away multiple times, Beast Boy's side finally showed a huge opening, while Tim still tried to boost morale.
"Listen, Batman said our reinforcements are on their way. Holding on is victory!"
However, Tim was actually somewhat pessimistic. Given Batman's level of attention to the Robins, if nothing else had interfered, he would have noticed something was wrong on his side long ago. The person who would arrive would most likely be Superman or the Flash.
Even if Batman didn't notice, the Justice League should have realized the problem with the Teen Titans headquarters. The Teen Titans didn't build their base into some kind of secret base; on the contrary, their headquarters is a T-shaped building that looks quite conspicuous.
But so far, they haven't received any support, which can only mean one thing—the Justice League itself has its own issues to deal with. Considering Tim's previous speculations about Batman's actions, perhaps the Justice League members are in big trouble.
But what could he do? Tim was slightly pessimistic, but he had to maintain a positive demeanor on the surface.
This is actually one of the roles that Robin played in the Teen Titans throughout the series.
However, the next moment, he saw a flash of golden light, and a golden rope instantly wrapped around his waist. Tim almost instantly deduced the strength of the rope's owner.
Are they having some kind of superhuman physique clearance sale out there right now? I'd love to have a pound of those too!
While internally complaining, Tim was uncontrollably pulled to the side of the rope's owner—the woman who had been using her laser eyes to force her companions to move.
"Um, could you please let me go?" Tim chuckled awkwardly. Actually, he was quite skilled with a stick, which he had learned from Ms. Shiva, the strongest human martial artist in DC. However, the problem was that he was completely bound, and his neck was being strangled by the Queen of the Supercs, making it impossible for him to use his skills.
"No!"
When the other members of the Teen Titans saw Tim being captured, they all shouted and tried to rescue him. Only Beast Boy, the goofball, looked at the magnificent chest of Super Queen, then at her face, and then gave Tim a thumbs up.
"Wow, Tim, you've lived a great life! Hey beautiful, can we exchange hostages? How about me?"
Zamsa originally intended to attack the group of teenage Titans who were in a panic because Tim had been captured, but upon hearing Beast Boy's words, he chose to rush to Beast Boy's side and then punch him hard.
"She's my woman!" Zamsa roared.
Beast Boy inadvertently saved the other members of the Teen Titans, but this did not improve the overall situation. The scales of victory had completely tipped in Zamza's favor, and Super Queen still had hostages in her hands.
"Surrender or I'll kill him!" Super Queen threatened loudly, and the other Teen Titans members immediately hesitated to act. Tim was about to say "leave me alone" when he was controlled by an invisible force and couldn't say anything.
Don't move. I'll let you off the hook for a moment.
Tim's eyes widened as he glanced at the Super Queen who was restraining him. Could this woman also be working for him under Luthor's threat?
So he immediately pretended to comply, but Tim wasn't foolish enough to believe the woman's side of the story.
Just then, a black and red portal appeared, and dense dark magic surged out instantly. This familiar yet powerful force caused Raven's expression to change drastically, and she stammered out a sentence that shocked everyone present: "Dad?"
