JC might have preferred having his neck snapped. He didn't intend to withhold information. He didn't have the time to even tell them between their being drunk, playing games, moping in their rooms, and sleeping. He was more of a victim in this than they were. Not only did Rose practically leave him in charge of a bunch of idiots, but the same idiots wanted to fight and argue more than go and save the city. He now understood why she wanted them to get to know each other more and act like normal teens first. They couldn't possibly be true heroes until they learned how to control their teen angst and hormones. Evan left in a rampage and it caused Jeremiah to wonder if he was trying to compete with Sentinel for the title of Rage-Filled Powerhouse of the Titans. Nothing good could have come out of that competition. Rufus returned asking why they were still there and where Ravager was. She really did choose the worst time to leave. [color=ed1c24]"She's gone. She quit the team and left me in charge. So far I'm not doing a good job. We can vote on new leadership later after this is done. I'll [i]gladly[/i] step down."[/color] Damn. He hasn't talked this much in so long. He already missed the days when he could be quiet and that was just the day before. Could his first and possibly final day as leader get any worse? It did. The alarms in the Tower roared to life indicating that not only were they under attack, but they were also infiltrated already. Their enemies had already broken through their defenses. A zombie attack in the city and some type of attack in the Tower. Then he saw the zombies. [color=ed1c24]"You know, it wasn't a fucking dare!!"[/color] He yelled to the ceiling as if he were talking to God or any other entity that controlled their fates. He still wondered how zombies could break their defenses. They really needed an upgrade. That was if they even had a home or base after this. He blamed Cyborg on this. He heard Evan on his commlink talking about how he was going to kill the zombies in the city. Thermo realized that these zombies were more than just zombies that you saw on TV. At least when you saw those you would think that you could reverse the change and save the people, but when he saw these actual zombies he realized that they were more than lifeless. They were soulless. He lifted his communicator and spoke into it. [color=ed1c24]"We may not have Ravager, but we have each other. We're Teen Titans and that means something even if we hate each other. Try to attack these brain eaters at a range. We don't need any teen heroes joining their ranks. Let's show them that they messed with the wrong team."[/color] God, he didn't want to say what he was about to say. [color=ed1c24]"Titans...Together!!"[/color] If he had the time he would've puked. Whirlpool had gotten into action and was pretty impressive at it. She made her way into and out of the Hangar using her powers over water as an advantage. Which reminded him... Rhea was in the T-Wing and there was a horde clawing at it. He sprung into action using the water Whirlpool summoned as his ride. He froze a path of water for him to slide and skate on. He didn't care about how much cleaning they'd have to do after this. He didn't care about the zombies heading towards him. He wasn't going to let one of his teammates die. He made that decision long ago. There was a distinct difference in JC today. You could tell by the way he was acting in this situation. The new look of concern and determination in his eyes. He wasn't giving these guys the chance to get a jump on him and his team. They made the worst wrong turn of their undead lives. Fire. While JC was making a path of ice with one hand he was making a torrent of flames with the other. He targeted the ones that weren't being attacked by Whirlpool's tentacles and made sure to burn them extra crispy. He eventually made his way to the T-Wing and jumped through an open window. He immediately froze a zombie that was coming right for him and did the same to another. He wasn't going to use flames in this ship. He may have been able to survive going through his own flames, but Rhea wouldn't have. He was shooting blasts of ice as if he were Gru or Captain Cold using their freeze rays. He formed a shield of ice that he'd use to repel others while also shooting ice through it. He made his way over to Rhea saying, [color=ed1c24]"Come on. We've got to get out of here."[/color]
