The Hybrid

Back To China

"Wow, you miss a couple of days and the world goes nuts," Kadiba muttered. Raven, Garfield and the rest were at Lief's mansion. "So what are you two going to be doing next? I don't imagine that Volant is really going to be there in Europe." Garfield looked at Raven for an explanation.

"He's the Animalist that taught me how to fly when my powers weren't working," Raven explained. "And why would he not be in Europe?"

"Po and Tigress have been having a bit of trouble keeping the peace where they are. Ironic really," Verloor said, raising an eyebrow at the joke in his head. "Volant and the others will be in China."

"What's been going on in China?"

"Riots. The emperor has become more tyrannical than his predecessor. It's sparking an outcry among the subjects and Po and Tigress are caught in the crossfire," Verloor said.

"We were planning on going there but then we got stuck in Ethiopia," Lief explained. Raven stood up from her seat.

"Then I need to get there as fast as I can."

"Hold on, little missy," Ada firmly said. "You're not going anywhere until you eat first," She said forcing Raven back down to her table. Beast Boy was surprised to see Raven obey the lioness and then also show a cute pout before eating her food. Garfield couldn't help but smile.

"So, Garfield was it? Tell us a bit more about yourself," Lewe asked.

"Well, I... can transform into different kinds of animals, but that won't be a good idea to do right now since animals here are clothed."

"Hmm, I never thought about the world beyond our realms until Raven came around. Are all of your 'humans' like you?"

"No, no, most of them are very normal and don't have powers like Raven or me. And they're typically not green," Garfield sadly said, looking at his hand. Ada rested her hand on his shoulder.

"Well, even if that is true, we're glad and happy to have you here, where everyone looks different," Ada greatly smiled. Beast Boy had to agree with Raven about Ada. She was a regular Starfire in lion's clothing.

"Tomorrow, Lief and I travel to China since Mr. Beast Boy can transport us there directly. Kadiba, I think it's best that you stay in Ethiopia where the queen needs you. But for tonight, let's just celebrate like you just came here, Raven," Verloor smiled. They continued to celebrate through the night and afterward went to bed.

The next day, Garfield got struggled to put on his cloak. "Here, let me help," Raven kindly offered.

"Thank you, I don't know why Cloak is being difficult today," Beast Boy grumbled.

"Maybe he just wants me to help you," Raven replied with a smirk. The cloak 'licked' Raven's face as a sign of agreement. Verloor and Leif prepared their swords and daggers.

"Do you dudes really need all of that?" Garfield asked.

"You never know what you need until you're facing it," Verloor wisely stated. Raven sniffed the air.

"Okay, I know where Master Tigress is." She said.

"From all the way over here?!" Garfield exclaimed. "That's at least 8,000 miles away!" Raven smirked.

"I have my ways." Making the green teen roll his eyes, Raven tracked onto the exact location of Tigress and gave the information to Garfield. Raven, Beast Boy, Ed, Verloor, and Leif jumped through the portal.

"Well we're here and WHOA!" Garfield shouted, dodging a swung blade at his neck. "Okay, it looks like we've jumped into a butt-kicking fray." Tigress punched the Rhino's sword out of his hand.
