Disclaimer: I do not own any of this! The Teen Titans are not my idea and belong to their rightful and respected owners! Enjoy!

This story is set one or two months after Robin joins Slade, give or take, and the Titans have not given up on trying toget Robin back.

Here's some things to look forward to: bunch of romance (not RobinxSlade), some torture here, a little manipulation over there, maybe some new characters, and a surprise ending that I even I don't know what it is yet! Moving on…

So before I get started, here's a little review: Slade tricked Robin into going with him using more probes, Batman is involved, and there's a stranger who has just arrived in Jump claiming to know Slade. This person wants to help Robin and by doing so she must join the Teen Titans, which is where our story begins…

Ch. 1-Jay

(BB's POV)

Why couldn't Cinderblock talk? Honestly, he would be totally more menacing if he could talk, rather than just growling every time he went to throw a punch. Flipping over the colossal concrete monster, I jammed into his stone gut as a ram. Then, transforming into a snake, I wrapped around the brute's ankles and tugged, enjoying his cry of pain as he came crashing down. Lucky for me, I only had to take down Cinderblock on my shift.

Getting up from the ground, I looked at Cinderblock, who was now moaning like a baby on the street where we had been fighting.

"Yeah, that's right!" I shouted triumphantly, then went to high five Cyborg-

I remembered that we didn't really fight as a team anymore…all of us took shifts. Cyborg and Raven had promised it would be easier that way; we would get more rest and besides, it wasn't a team without Robin.

A tear formed in my eye much to my dismay, as I thought about Robin. I missed him so much, it was almost as bad as my longing to see Terra. Only Robin was alive. Alive and well; working with Slade to destroy us. Us, his friends! His teammates!

But I knew just as everyone else did, Robin didn't think of us as teammates. He thought that we hated him. We had pretty much shown that too, when Cyborg shot him out a window and we stood there helpless. All of us had just been so angry, so unbelievably angry. Punching a nearby wall in anger, I shouted in pain as agony spread through my arm. It just wasn't fair! Slade had manipulated us! He had tricked us for the thousandth time!

And he wasn't even creative! More probes that were secretly injected into us, which according to Cyborg, made us feel emotions and could control our thoughts. It was because of this that we had been overwhelmingly angry. It was because of Slade that we hadn't helped Robin!

Although, that wasn't entirely true. As Raven had put it, "We still had some free will, and when we should have devoted that free will to doing what was best for Robin, we didn't. Slade might have played a part in Robin's turn to villainy, but we did too."

As I began to walk away from Cinderblock, the monster made another gurgling sound, and against my control, I giggled. How could a monster make such a funny sound?

"What's so funny, booger face?"

Wait, Cinderblock couldn't talk-

Out of nowhere, a silver contraption with a disturbing resemblance to a spider dropped from the rooftops. Once the dust cleared, I gasped as I saw Gizmo in his spidey suit, smiling at me crazily. A bead of sweat trickled down my cheek. Cinderblock was easy to defeat, but Gizmo was harder. It was like, Cinderblock was the Level One Boss Battle and Gizmo was Level Three. Part of me wondered if I should call for backup, but the next person to fight would be Starfire and she had just endured a grueling battle with Killer Moth and Kitten.

"Where's your team?" Gizmo taunted, coming up close to my face. "Oh, that's right, you don't have one!"

My anger getting the better of me, I warped into a tiger and clawed at Gizmo's backpack that connected to his titanium spider legs, causing sparks to fly and Gizmo to fly backwards. After recovering, Gizmo glared at me.

"Lucky hit," Gizmo hissed. "But try this on for size!" The ground beneath me began to shake. As I backed away, the ground behind me exploded, causing me to hurtle up into the air. Before I could plummet to the ground, I changed into a bird. But as I tried to fly away, one of Gizmo's silver legs caught me and bringing me down, pinned me to the ground. As I struggled, back in my regular form, against the weight of the contraption, Gizmo got low to my face again.

"I wish I could play around some more," Gizmo smiled creepily again, "but Slade's got big plans for you." This last sentence made me shudder as I again tried to free myself. But as I was struggling, another steel leg shot into my stomach, making it harder to move.

"You know, I don't think BB stands for Beast Boy," Gizmo teased. As he raised another leg to probably knock me unconscious, I pleaded for a miracle.

"I think BB stands for BARF BRAIN!" Gizmo shouted as he sent the leg toward me. I was just about to accept my defeat when out of nowhere, a bomb was thrown right into Gizmo's chest, exploding and forcing the evil dwarf to go flying. Getting up to my feet as quickly as possible, I looked for the source of the bomb. At first I couldn't find anything, but soon I noticed a shape flip off a nearby rooftop and land gracefully onto the road.

"Who dares challenge me? Come on then, bring it on, man to man!" Gizmo roared, back upright.

*More like man to baby,* I thought.

But the figure did not say anything. Instead, it just kept walking until finally the scattered light from a broken streetlight cast itself on the shadow's face.

"WHA-

Gizmo and I both gaped at the figure before us. It in fact wasn't a man, but a girl. A girl no older than me.

"Who…who are you?" Gizmo asked incredulously. He had obviously never seen her before either. When most of the teenage heroes worked for the Titans, it was rare to see someone new. She didn't look like she was from another world either. The girl had long, bright orange hair, that was almost…spiky? Her hair shaped her angular face, and she wore a black, almost skin tight suit that had a gold J over her heart. But what was most interesting about her was the domino mask that covered her eyes.

She kept quiet as Gizmo stared at her, refusing to answer his question.

"No comment, well that's just…fine!" Gizmo shouted, and suddenly the ground began to shake again.

"Watch out!" I shouted as the ground near the girl exploded, but she had already flipped out of way. When she landed on the ground, it exploded again, but again, she had merely continued to flip. Only this time, she didn't hit the ground. Before Gizmo could dodge, the girl had firmly planted her foot into Gizmo's stomach, causing the evil brat to double over.

"Why…you little…" Gizmo wheezed. I couldn't help but laugh as I watched him try not to cry as he got up. My laugh appeared to grab both the girl and Gizmo's attention.

"Shut up!" Gizmo shouted. Then turning to Cinderblock, he ordered, "Get up and help me barf brain!"

The concrete monster gingerly rose from the ground, growling again. Again, the question played in my mind, why couldn't Cinderblock talk?

TTTTTTTTTTT

(Girl's POV)

The loud baby was much easier to defeat then I had originally thought. When I had first seen him take down Beast Boy, I doubted my success. But as he constantly tried to swipe me with those strange spider leg type contraptions, I merely dodged, occasionally kicking the kid in the stomach or the head. This game continued until I had almost defeated the baby, and he was barely able to keep himself upright in the contraption. Finally, after one more kick to the jaw, he crashed to the ground and didn't get up. Instead, he just moaned and whined. Rolling my eyes, I picked him up off the ground, allowing a smile to form on my lips.

"Forgive me for asking, but what is a barf brain?" I asked. The brat's eyes widened in shock and anger, but it turned out his arms were little stubs that he obviously didn't use to fight with most of the time. Behind me, a loud train of laughter echoed. Turning around, I noticed Beast Boy had defeated the concrete man and was now rolling on his side.

"Oh…barf brain…that's a good one," Beast Boy cried as he giggled. Not sure what to do, I walked up to him, still carrying the kid in the onesie.

"What should I do with…this?" I asked.

"Um…" now Beast Boy stared at me as if it was amazing that I was talking to him. What was wrong? He had seen me before, or at least, when I had tried to make my appearance before the kid had come, I thought he was looking at me.

"Here, you take it," I handed the kid to Beast Boy.

"I'M NOT AN IT!" the kid shouted.

"Haha…it…you're hilarious," Beast Boy burst into laughter as he held Gizmo.

"Um…thanks," I smiled. This Beast Boy might not have been the brightest kid around, but he wasn't that bad to fight with.

"We could take him back to the tower, for questioning," I suggested when Beast Boy was staring at Gizmo.

"Hey, that's a great idea!" Beast Boy grinned. Then, glaring at Gizmo, he smiled. "Since you do work with Slade!"

"Did I say I worked with Slade?" Gizmo said sheepishly, "I…meant that Slafe had something in mind for you."

At this, both Beast Boy and I laughed. But then I caught myself. I didn't usually allow myself to be this loose, but with Beast Boy, things felt different. Still, this was strictly business, once I had freed Robin from Slade, I was done. Then again, I wouldn't mind being around fun like this. I couldn't remember the last time I had…fun, I figured.

"Beast Boy," the changeling held out his hand to shake mine. Looking at it, I pondered whether I should take it and continue my mission or if I should seek out Slade on my own. But, I reminded myself, everyone needs help when dealing with Slade.

"Jay," I replied, taking his hand.

I know, I know, there wasn't any Slade or Robin, next chapter people it's all them! Anyways, I hope you guys liked the first chapter! The new character, I hoped you enjoyed too! Well *does puppy dog face*, review please?
