Chapter 1: Here Comes Trouble

Kitten sat in her bright pink room. Pictures of Robin and newspaper clippings plastered along the walls. A dart board with Starfire's picture on it, only instead of darts stuck in the board it was knives. Kitten growled. "That Starfire… she has Robin all to herself. I must form a plan! Yes! An evil plan to make Starfire pay! BWAHAHAHAHA!" Lighting clashed and roared behind her. Suddenly, a soft voice shot through the simulated madness. "Kitten, dear. You have a telephone call." Kitten's normal looking mother told her. "Who is it, mom?" Kitten asked calmly. "Its Fang." Her mother answered. A vein popped out of Kitten's head as she grasped her fists. "Tell that low life that I am getting my nails done!" Kitten thundered. Her mother nodded and smiled sweetly. "Yes, dear." Her mother exited. Kitten was silent for a minute. "Now, where was I? Oh yes… AHAHAHAHAHA!"

Kitten hurried off to her father's basement lab. Killer Moth was off in prison again. Obviously, defeated by the Teen Titans once more. Larva creatures squirming around in fiberglass boxes. Stories of the great Larva M-319 where told by the oppressed larva. One day they will defeat Killer Moth just as Larva M-319. Kitten avoided looking at the larva creatures. The Mrs. Moth took better care of the larva that her husband. For her, it was like when Kitten was a baby. Oh, how Mrs. Moth missed those days. Kitten looked around for some of her father's weapons and tools. She came to a locked closet. "Damn it… mom always told him to keep his weapons locked in the closet so I couldn't get to them." Kitten remembered. She pulled out a hairpin and easily picked the padlock. She took the lock off and opened the door. Kitten's blue evil eyes sparked as they always did on Christmas morning. Energy whips, flash bombs, mutation pills, and laser saws all gone. "Oh yeah… the police confiscated all of daddy's weapons and equipment." Kitten remembered. "STUPID POLICE!" Kitten screamed.

Kitten laid on her bed mopping. What was she going to do now? Suddenly, she heard someone opening her window. She quickly looked over and it was her ex-boyfriend, Fang the spider-headed boy, sneaking through the window. Kitten quickly stood up on her bed and launched a flying roundhouse heel strike into Fang's head. Fang fell to the floor in a daze. "Why the hell are you breaking into my room, you idiot! I thought I told you, we're through!" Kitten yelled down at Fang. Fang cowered in fear. "I-I-I'm sorry… but you won't talk to be, Kitty." Fang whimpered. Kitten glared into Fang's bug eyes. "Why do you think? I'm trying to come up with a plan to attack the Teen Titans with and you come busting in here, like a jackass! I ought to stomp on you like the bug you are!" Kitten rattled on. Fang stood up with a sad look on his face. "Oh… I'm sorry. But please! Take me back, Kitten! I love you, babe. I'll do anything." Fang pleaded. An idea popped into Kitten's head. "Anything?" Kitten inquired. Fang stood his spider head. "Then, help me defeat the Teen Titans… and then we'll talk." Kitten smirked.

Kitten and Fang both sat at the head of a table at the Pizza Parlor. At the other end of the table was a short line of candidates to join Kitten and Fang's super-villain team. Kitten looked at the next candidate while Fang, wearing eight pairs of eyeglasses, looked down at his clipboard. "Okay, and you are?" Kitten asked. In front of her stood a dark boy dressed in all black and an emotionless expression on his face. He emitted a cold aura to all around him. "Gothic Bob." The darkling answered. "Do you have an special powers and/or skills?" Fang asked. "Curses." Gothic Bob answered. "What kind of curses?" Kitten asked. "Bad ones." Gothic Bob answered. Kitten turned to Fang. "This guy is creeper than that Raven girl." Kitten whispered to Fang. "Yeah, and he can do curses. He could be useful." Fang reminded. Kitten and Fang turned back to Gothic Bob and said, "You're in!" Gothic Bob's expression didn't even change, he simply walked away. "Next!" Kitten yelled. An older gentleman stepped up. "Name?" Kitten asked. "My name is Arthur Light, but you can call me Dr. Light!" the older man said with enthusiasm. "Special powers and/or skills?" Fang asked. "Using my advanced light generating weapons, I can defeat the Titans with light, itself!" Dr. Light spoke clearly and loudly. Kitten and Fang looked at each other and smiled then back to Dr. Light. "Don't call us, we'll call you." Kitten smirked. Dr. Light frowned and walked off. "Stupid brats! I hope the Titans kick their butts!" he muttered walking away.

Kitten sighed deeply as they got to the last two guys in the line. "Names?" Kitten sighed. "We're the infamous auto thrives, Sammy and Cash!" The tall Sammy in the leather jacket and outdated hair style said. "Special powers and/or skills?" Fang sighed. "We stole Cyborg's T-Car once." The shorter Cash replied. Kitten turned to Fang again. "These guys stole Cyborg's car… they could be good. But they seem like idiots. But, I'm desperate. So, lets let those two in." Kitten whispered. Fang nodded in agreement. Kitten turned towards the two. "Okay, you're in!" Kitten announced. "YES! We're in!" Cash hollered. "We hit the super-villain big time!" Sammy danced in circles.

The Teen Titans sat on the other side of the Pizza Parlor. "Hey, isn't that Kitten and Fang over there?" Robin pointed out drinking his soda. "Why yes, friend Robin, for it is that deceitful, selfish, spoiled girl and her arachnid-headed boyfriend." Starfire confirmed. Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy looked over too. "Hey, aren't two guys the ones who stole the T-Car?" Raven noticed. Cyborg's steel fists clanged together. "They are the ones! If they dare lay a finger on my car, I'll rearrange their nervous system." Cyborg steamed. "Dude, calm down. They are probably just here for the trouble makers convention." Beast Boy joked. Robin looked at Beast Boy. "What! It was just a joke!" Beast Boy smiled. "I'd hate to say it, but I think Beast Boy is right." Robin agreed. Suddenly, Raven's eye widened her and her slice of pizza exploded all over the Titans and herself. The four of them glared at Raven. "Sorry, just hearing those words… are shocking." Raven explained. "What? 'I think Beast Boy is right'?" Beast Boy wondered aloud. Suddenly, Cyborg's slice of pizza exploded from Raven's power. Then, everyone was staring at Beast Boy. "Um… this is really good pizza, huh?" Beast Boy grinned. Everyone ate some more and there was a long silence. "Maybe, the hateful Kitten girl and her cohorts can be handled by the local law enforcement." Starfire broke the silence. "Yeah! Those guys need to get off their butts anyway! We do all the hard work." Cyborg agreed. Robin nodded. "Or we could always let Beast Boy take care of them." Raven sarcastically joked. Everyone laughed but Raven and Beast Boy, who was sending a cold stare her way.
