Note: I found this Teen Titans Fic on my old computer today. I had completely forgotten that I wrote this last year during Teen Titan's 2nd or 3rd season! Anyway, I've recognized a few things I could have done better in the story, but for my readers sake, I left it just the way it was originally written... I might continue it where I left off, but I'm not sure since I'm currently trying to write two other fics at the same time and am having little luck publishing it on time.

"Speedster"

Chapter 1: Quick Wit

A wall of electricity wove its way through Jump city. Small pieces of paper and trash were thrown into a wastebasket along the sidewalk of a lonely park across the street from the local pizzeria. As the wall got faster, it sped down the sidewalk, following the pavement to the end of the street, just passing a sign that read, "DO NOT WALK ON THE GRASS". If someone happened to be along that sidewalk, they might have heard a small chuckle…

Beast Boy was almost to tears, "What do you mean all you got was pepperoni?" he whined. "Are you crazy? I'm a vegetarian with a capital V!" Cyborg electric eye twitched. "Look man there's those soy-thingies in the fridge-"

"I wanted black olives and mushroom pizza!"

"Okay, how about you order one of those then?"

"Because I had to buy a power cell for your metal butt and now I'm broke!"

"Oh, yeah…that…"

"-And one of those big boxes you plug into-"

"Ha! That doesn't count because you broke my old one with that virus, Ameba boy!"

"Hey! I was just-"

"Both of you be quite!" Raven yelled. Everyone froze for a few seconds.

"…Fine! Enjoy your stupid pizza!" Beast Boy said leaving. "I hate all of you!" He slammed the door behind him. Cyborg's eyebrows rose.

He sat down in a chair and opened the pizza box.

"Think we hurt his feelings?" he said grabbing a slice.

Raven just kept reading her book.

Beast Boy stormed into his messy room. Nobody cared when it came to him. They just couldn't get used to his bizarre, impulsive behavior. "They should be used to weird stuff, we live in a giant T for cripes sake!" he mumbled. He sat down on his beanbag chair. "It'd be cool to hang out with someone just like me," he thought as a small cheery tune came from his belt.

"Titans! Trouble!" yelled Robin.

Beast Boy's thoughts would have to wait…

In the Monitor Room Robin was giving a briefing: "…It's Mumbo, meaning he'll probably have some new tricks for us so we'll have to use a different tactic… I'm suggesting, well…this." He uncovered a dry-erase board with circles and lines, each indicating which Titan should be at during the phase. It was a simple plan to everybody except Beast Boy and Starfire. "Star is going to shoot at me? What's that all about?" Beast Boy whined. "How about someone else?"

"We need to distract Mumbo so we can trap him and break his wand," Robin explained. "We need you to be something Starfire will not like so it will be convincing…"

"That is easy," said Starfire. "I despise the Ishnay-eating Tobar!" She shivered. "It ate my Glorf when I was young…"

"Um, Star? I can't do that," Beast Boy moaned. "And besides, I'm tired of being bait!" Beast Boy yelled at Robin.

"We need you, so stop being selfish!" said Robin. "I think a rat morph would be all right," said Robin nodding to the other Titans.

Beast Boy scowled. Again everyone agreed on a decision without his input.

"Titans! Go!" Robin said with enthusiasm.

Much to Beast Boy's despair it was time to focus on more important things…

Starfire wound her way through the city streets getting as high as she can but still trying to see the little green mouse that was running as fast as a mouse can run. She tried to concentrate but she couldn't. She knew Robin should have put more thought into risking Beast Boy like this…

Okay, it was time to distract the villain. She focused on her emotions.

"Righteous anger, righteous fury," she thought.

She threw a series of Star bolts at Beast Boy as Mumbo noticed them. Confused and distracted he dropped the bags of money he had been levitating out of an old ATM. "Why is she attacking the green one?" He wondered aloud just in time for him to get hit in the back with a sonic blast from cyborg.

"Boo-yah!" yelled Cyborg.

Smiling, Robin through a series of electro-discs at the insane villain. Mumbo blocked the discs with a twirl of his wand.

"Huh?" muttered Robin as Mumbo through ribbons out of his sleeves.

The small, paper banners twisted themselves around Robin.

"Robin!" Starfire gasped running over to release him.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthose!" yelled Raven.

But before Raven could do anything, a ripple of electricity wove itself around Mumbo. As the Titans watched unbelievably, all of Mumbo's many "tricks" erupted from the aura of electricity around the clownish villain. Streaming colorful banners flew out covering Starfire and Robin, while a giant saw almost flattened Beast Boy and Cyborg, and a white rabbit landed precisely on Raven's head.

Then the wall zoomed towards downtown, leaving the thief tied to a pole, half of his wand on the street, and five very confused teens…
