Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. But if I did… oh, if I did… evil grin

Chapter 1: Another Normal Day?

Beast Boy was in his wreck of a room, planning his next prank. Today's victim: Robin. And Starfire, sorta. Beast Boy finished his soda – the sixteenth (A/N Where'd you think his energy came from???) one he'd had that day – and threw it on the floor, with the other fifteen. And yesterday's twenty-seven. And the gun wrappers from Thursday. And – well, you get the idea.

Beast Boy's plan was simple. Get Robin and Starfire in the same room. Seemingly alone. And lock the door, refusing to let them out for some time. He could manage that, from the outside, and then turn into some small animal and go and spy on them. He'd see what would happen, and then tell the rest of the Tita-

WEEEoooo WEEEoooo WEEoooo!!! The alarm cut into his plotting. "Stupid alarm," he muttered under his breath. Then he heard Robin's shout of "Titans, Trouble!!" and grinned again. Robin was soooooo gonna be busted.

The Teen Titans hurried to the source of the alert, and found a robbery-in-progress, carried out by none other than the HIVE academy members – Jinx, Mammoth, and that annoying little squirt Gizmo (A/N That midget drives me nuts.)

"Titans, attack!" Robin shouted. "Attack pattern Alpha." The HIVE members would apparently be using their very favorite attack. "Dude, does she EVER say ANYTHING ELSE????" Beast Boy wondered. It was true; all Jinx seemed to ever say was "Attack pattern Alpha."

After these brave words of combat were uttered, the battle began. Gizmo automatically jumped – erm, rocketed – towards Cyborg. Their rivalry was unmatched, except possibly by Raven and Jinx. "Take this, ya crud-headed pit-sniffer!" exclaimed the jump-suited midget, throwing a couple high-explosive rockets at Cyborg. I'd like to say that the rockets were all duds, and that Gizmo then assumed the fetal position and started bawling like a baby, but unfortunately they were quite effective, and sent Cyborg crashing a couple yards back. Then Starfire swooped in with her righteous fury, throwing starbolts at the mini-maniac. Gizmo turned a red color that clashed quite badly with his suit, and laid there smoking.

A little ways to the left, Raven and Jinx were hurling spells at each other, black and pink usually colliding mid air, but sometimes Raven would land a hit. She noticed that Jinx seemed to be paying a lot of attention to something else other than their fight, but dismissed it as villainous stupidity.

Meanwhile, Robin and Beast Boy were fighting it out against Mammoth. Robin tossed a bunch of Bird-a-Rangs at the genetic mutant, but to no avail. Then Beast Boy turned into a raptor and tried to take a bite out of Mammoth, but he flung Beast Boy, now in human form, over his shoulder.

Beast Boy landed right in front of Jinx. She looked at him, at whispered, "may the deep poison within you be awakened!" She threw some pink magic stuff at him, and it hit him square in the chest. It didn't however, do anything. Beast Boy didn't really notice any of the magic bit, as he was too shocked that she had actually talked at all, making his internal cerebral system crash temporarily, then reboot himself.

The HIVE academy apparently realized that they were losing, and disappeared. "Booyah!" Cyborg exclaimed to their retreating backs. Jinx gave Beast Boy one last evil look, and then departed with the rest of her team.

Starfire looked confused, and said to Robin, "Friend Robin, why are the HIVE academy leaving? Is it not against the rules of engaging in battle to retreat? On Tamaran, they would be called cowardly for such an act!" She seemed to get quite worked up over the situation, and seemed ready to tear after them, but Robin said, "Starfire. It's fine. Let it go"

Beast Boy grinned to himself. Soon, his little plan would be in effect, but first he had to get rid of this headache that was coming on.

So what do you all think of the first chapter? I want 4 reviews to go on!!!! Oh yes, and don't expect any updates between the 27th of December and New Years – I'm going to be away without Internet access. Until next time,
