Bounty Hunter - Teen Titans (No. 5)

"Boo!" Should I Scream?

3rd POV:

In the night sky, full with dark storm clouds, above the video store in Jump City, a crowd of panicking customers bursts out and breaks for cover. Inside, the clerk lets out a scream and backs across the floor, terrified as some large TV with wires as arms walking towards her. The evil TV stalks towards her with narrow red eyes and a grin, as it towers over her, it brings two cable ends together striking an arc, and leans towards the woman; she cries out shielding her face. Control Freak uses his magical remote control, he presses the red button stopping the big TV in its tracks, wiping out the static, and leaves just a blank expression the screen. Control Freak stands on top of the shelves near a wall of video screens, the fat, long straggly hair, a man wearing an Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars, a dark grey overcoat topping off the ensemble and clicks on his remote and an image comes up on one of the screens. "Okay. either you admit that Warp Trek Five, which reunited the entire original cast of the classic TV series, deserved to be on your 'Favourite Rentals' list, or..." Control Freak tells the female clerk and presses the remote at the large TV and brings it back to evil TV; the clerk scuttles back towards the candy counter.

"Please! I-I don't even know what Warp Trek is!" The clerk shrieks in fright.

"And that, my little tribble, is why you must be destroyed!" Control Freak says stroking his remote close to his face like a creep that he is and presses the button again, the screen roars striking sparks from two of the cables before reaching towards her. She lets out another scream getting up and diving behind the counter to get away. The clerk peeks over the counter as the TV stalks towards her hiding place, but before it can get to her, a sonic cannon blast drives it off to the side. Control Freak covers his face from the dust flying around from the collision; he looks up with a gasp at the entrance where the Titans stand having arrived on the scene, and Cyborg has his cannon at the ready. Control Freak hops down nimbly from the shelf to the next, approaching the Titans. "Well, well, well. If it isn't my old arch-nemesis...ses... the Teen Titans!" He announces as he looks over at them.

"Um, yeah." Beast Boy says looking a little confused and turns to Cyborg. "Who is this guy?" He asks, but Cyborg shrugs in return, all equally as confused, and they get their answer when the screens all come up showing an image of Control Freak at the click of his remote.

"I am the master of monsters! I am your darkest nightmares come to life! I am... Control Freak!" All the screen Control Freak say together, and the real one stands up in view at the end and the screen hims clap with the click of a button on his remote.

"A couch potato with a souped-up remote. I'm petrified." Raven says in her usual monotone voice, unimpressed.

"You will be. You will be." Control Freak smirks and laughs firing up the remote, near Raven, a video drop box grows considerably turning its deposit slot into a toothy mouth, she gasps in surprise and backs up from the expanding shadow as it grows.

...TIME SKIP.....

A set of deranged shelves slide backwards; the face shows how scared it is, as Beast Boy charges in as a bull goring it, the thing skids farther crashing into other shelves, throwing a curtain of dust everywhere. Out of the dust the green Titan back in his human form and badly dazed from the collision, he staggers a bit and stops when cardboard cutout, this seems to snap his brain back as he stares silently for a second then flails his arms with a high-pitched scream.

Beast Boy looks at the cutout of a movie with the title in red letters painted in blood, 'Wicked Scary', above the title are several tentacles issuing from under the hem of a long, tattered robe of a tall figure with the hood up hiding the face, and only red pinpoint eyes are visible. "Dude!" Beast Boy exclaims. "Wicked Scary is out on video?" Starfire appears as Control Freak comes up next to him, his eyes twinkling like Beast Boys.
