This story line takes place after the episode, "Titans Together." In season five. Here, the prolonged fight with the Brotherhood of Evil comes to an end. And after being gone for so many months, the five Titans finally come home, along with about fifty other Titans from around the world who helped them out in the final battle.
The episode ends where they all go after Dr. Light who is in the middle of robbing another bank. And by the way it ends with the huge group surrounding him, we all know what happens. Well from here, this story begins after they return to the tower, the crowd leaves, and things finally start to settle down. Or so we think!
Little do they know that Dr. Light has once again broken out of prison. Only this time, he's purposely tucked himself away, devising a plan of ultimate revenge not only against the Titans for spoiling every robbery he ever pulled. But against the entire city! Thanks to the improved suit he designed, he found a way to get them were it really hurt! Through the cities main power source!

Meanwhile. . .
The thought of taking on anymore criminals, was the last thing on the Titans minds. By then the exhaustion from their trip had set in, causing the five to basically crash out. Even Robin, who didn't believe in taking it easy, found himself lounging around the tower, going through tons of postal mail, bills, and emails. While Starfire and Silkie had a touching reunion, and were basically inseparable! In the meantime, Cyborg and Beastboy were hard at it, madly competing with the Super Mega monkeys III game!
As for Raven? She craved the solitude, and had basically been up on the roof meditating since they'd returned. That is. . .until her stomach began to loudly growl, causing her to realize that she hadn't eaten anything in about 12 hours. And apparently, she wasn't the only one.
Upon her return, Raven saw that the others were now scrambling around in the kitchen. This included Cyborg and Beastboy who were tackling each other, trying to see who would get to the fridge first. Rolling her eyes, Raven watched as Beastboy
morphed into a monkey, and leapt over Cyborgs shoulder. Instantly turning human
again, he playfully hollered. "Gotcha!"
"Aww man. . ." Cyborg whined, as Beastboy flung the door open. In that instant he jumped back, letting out one of his high pitched girlie yelps.
"Ewwww! Dude. . .the spores are back!" he cried, as Cyborg looked over his shoulder at the sight of the blue mold that once again covered just about everything inside. Although completely repulsed over the sight of this, Beastboy felt Starfire lean forward and glance inside. "Wonderful! The blue fungus has returned!"
"Oh, what a thrill. . ." Raven muttered, as Beastboy pointed a finger inside and asked,
"Uhhhhh. . .Did that napkin just move?" Rolling his eyes, Cyborg glanced toward Robin, who was watching the entire thing with amusement. "Man, this is ridiculous. We gotta get some food!" Sighing Robin gave him a reluctant nod.
"I know. We've put it off long enough. I think it's time to go marketing."
After a long tiresome trip, Raven dreaded this excursion most of all. Moaning under her breath, she mumbled, "Can't it wait? I mean. . .I'd be satisfied a cup of tea and an apple." Now without any hesitation, Beastboy reached inside and pulled out a shriveled up thing with black hair. At first Raven thought it might have been a prune, that is, until he held it up by the stem! "Sure, Raven. Will that be with, or without the fur?"
Lip curling with disgust, Raven turned away from them and testily muttered,
"I'll make a list. . ."
In the city. . .
Within the next twenty minutes they all arrived at the front of the crowded grocery store. Casually dressed, they stood at the entrance. This included Robin, who without the mask was almost impossible to recognize! Grabbing a basket, he looked at the other four and replied, "I know the traveling has made us all a little short. So we can only afford to spend what's left of the house money on the essentials until we get paid again. So anything extra will have to come out of your own pockets. So I'd keep the junk food down to a minimum."
"Which will be harder for some, than for others. . ." Raven hinted, watching as Beastboy shot her a hard glance, but didn't say anything.
"We'll split up and meet back here in about 45 minutes."
"Sounds like a plan. . ." Cyborg replied, grabbing a buggy. "I'm off. . ."
And all at once, they began to scatter off in different directions. With Robin and Starfire going one isle, and Cyborg disappearing down another. During this time, Raven noticed how Beastboy stood frozen in place, as though mesmerized by the candy section. This gave her the perfect opportunity to try and sneak off without him noticing. Or so she thought. Just when she was about to turn and leave, Beastboy caught up with her and said, "Umm. . .You feel like company?"
Desperately trying to get out of it, Raven replied, "Well. . .Actually. . .I really don't have a lot of stuff to get. . ."
"Oh, me neither. That's why I thought we'd shop together. It would be less of a hassle, right?" Realizing she couldn't get out of it, Raven silently moaned, then replied,
"Well, that depends. Because I really didn't feel like walking around for an hour, watching you decide how to waste yourself on junkfood." She said, raising an eyebrow. Knowing she read him like a book, Beastboy let out a chuckle and said,
"No. . .no. .no. It will only be a few things. And I won't take long. . .I promise."

Forty-five minutes later. . .
As with many occasions, Beastboys lack of will power turned out to be Raven's worse nightmare. Rubbing sides of her temples, she watched as Beastboy went on an endless junk spree, loading the buggy with cookies, candies, and sweetbreads until her meager corner of the basket was buried.
During this time, the others had finished and were already beginning to check out. As they began to make their way to the front, Beastboy noticed the rack of comics and froze. "Ohhh. . ." he whispered, eyes widening with intrigue. "Megaman Action Three! The deluxe addition!" Snatching it from the rack, he began flipping through the pages like a maniac. "Aww man. . .I gotta get this. . .I just gotta!" he chirped, full of hyper enthusiasm. That is. . .until he saw the high price. Letting out a disappointed grown, he then looked at the mountain of confections in the buggy. "Hmm. . .can't part with that, And I certainly can't part with that. . .Aww, man!" he moaned, frowning with disappointment. That is, until he remembered that Raven had a load buried in that basket too. And it was a light one at that!
This caused a brainstorm to flood through his little mind. "Yeah! That's what I'll do!" Slowly he leaned forward a bit, to find that she was further down the isle, deciding on which usual tea to buy. Knowing the coast was clear, he quickly bent forward and shoved the comic underneath her stuff. "She doesn't have much, so it shouldn't be a problem. . ."

Within the next five minutes, the two of them met up with the others.
Turning to Raven, Beastboy replied, "Uh, I guess I should go first. Right? I mean. . .Since you can't get to your stuff."
Raising an eyebrow she muttered, "Gee, you think?"
Knowing that she'd be in for a long wait, Raven picked up a magazine and started to read. She wasn't through the first paragraph when she noticed that the purser had already gone halfway through Beastboy's stuff, scanning the items with lightening speed. By the time Raven got to the bottom of the first page, the girl had already rung up his total.
"Not bad. . ." she thought to herself. "Why can't all cashiers be this fast. . ." She was about to start reaching for her things, when Beastboy quickly chirped out.
"I got it. . ." and began throwing her items on the belt.
At first, Raven was a little surprised by his considerate manner. That is until she saw him fling the comic book down on the belt. As the cashier picked it up, she replied, "Hey. . .wait a minute. . .That isn't. . .mine. . ." Slowly her eyes widened to the 10.00 price tag that rung up on the register, then shifted towards Beastboy in an annoyed manner. "Where did /ithat/i come from?"
Her tense question caused Beastboy to casually get on the side of her and reply.
"Oh, it's for me. I threw it with your stuff. I hope you don't mind." Realizing the motive behind that recent gesture, Raven marveled at his nerve and sharply retorted, "Of course, I mind! You didn't even bother to ask me!"
Letting out a nervous chuckle he stammered out, "Oh, come on, Raven. You know I've got the money back at the tower. I'll pay you when we get back. I promise. . ."
"But that's not the point." She irritably muttered through her teeth. "I only brought enough money to cover my things! You cut me short!"
"That'll be 35.50. . ." the cashier interrupted. Knowing she only brought a
twenty, Raven found herself so caught off guard, that she honestly didn't know what to say. And from her hesitation, the cashier raised an eyebrow and repeated,
"Ma'am?" As her face began to heat up with embarrassment, Raven found herself wanting to disappear. That is, until a familiar voice replied from behind.
"I got it. . ." Looking over her shoulder, she was relieved to find Robin standing there with some extra cash in hand. "Here. This should cover it." He said handing another twenty to the checker.
"Thanks. . ." Raven quietly replied, while shooting Beastboy a look that was enough to kill. Knowing that evil glare, he swallowed hard and began to fidget. "What?" he asked, giving her a nervous shrug.
That moronic question actually had her pulse beginning to race. Gritting her teeth, Raven shakily grabbed her bags and threw them in the basket. Shooting Beastboy one last dirty look, she quickly turned away from him. As she headed out the door, Cyborg looked down at Beastboy and shook his head. "Dude. . .what is your deal?" He asked, letting out an amused chuckle. But Beastboy didn't find it so amusing. Inside he knew he messed up yet another time with Raven. But by then, it was too late.

The drive home was silent, and colder than normal. Having her back turned to him, Raven glared out the window, contemplating on how she was going to deal with this situation, without blowing up. By then Beastboy felt so miserable, that he wanted to make amends in some kind of way. But with Raven, he knew this wouldn't be easy. After gathering his nerve, he found her in the kitchen with the others unpacking the little bit of stuff she'd bought.
"Uh, Raven?" Stiffening to the sound of his voice, Raven deliberately ignored him, shoving her boxes of tea into the cabinet. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched as Beastboy set some cash down on the counter, and timidly slid it toward her.
"Umm. . .here ya go. . ." From his meager attempt to make amends, Raven knew she had to say something. And the eyes of the other three on her back didn't make it any easier. They all saw what had happened, which only humiliated her even more. This in turn caused her gaze to twist into a dirty look. "Keep it. . ." she irritably muttered under her breath. "I'm sure there will be something else for you to waste it on!"
Eyes rolling upward, Beastboy let out a tired sigh of frustration.
"Ok. Ok. . .Look. . .I know I messed up. . ."
"Messed up? You embarrassed me, and made me feel like an idiot!" She snapped, anger beginning to seethe out. "But it's no wonder. . .With all the candy you threw in that basket, I'm surprised you still have teeth left in your head!"
"Alright, alright. . .I'm sorry! What else can I do?"
"Grow up!" She snapped, roughly shoving the money back towards him. "You're like this all the time, and frankly. . .I'm sick of it!" she fussed, as he looked away from her. "People are always having to bail you out of something, because you don't care about anyone but yourself. And it doesn't matter how many times it happens. You'll never change. You'll always be a selfish, irresponsible little twit!"
Now like on every occasion, Raven expected him to except her biting remarks like he'd always done, and turn away. But instead, she was rather taken back by the sudden way he defensively stiffened. "Now just a minute, Raven. . .I can take you putting me down, or even calling me names. Because a lot of times, I know I deserve it. But to call me selfish? Well. . .It ain't happening!" His timid attempt of standing up to her, caused Raven's head to tilt rather mockingly.
"Oh, really?" Catching the clip of sarcasm in her voice, Beastboy gave her an irritated gaze. "Yeah, really! Ok, so I'm a little careless when it comes to money. . ."
"A little?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Alright, a lot!" He snapped, growing a little more defensive. "But you make it sound like I'm like that with everything, Raven ! And it's not true! At least not in a battle! Because when the chips fall, I'm there! And you can depend on me!" Hesitating only for a minute, he looked her in the eyes and boldly added, "I don't back down and hide, the way some people do. . ." Completely thrown off guard by his inclination, she as well as the other three marveled at him with surprise.
Head slowly cocking she sharply asked, "And. . .what is that supposed to mean?" Gaze now turning very serious, he replied,
"Let's just say that when the Brotherhood was taking us down one by one, I heard that some of you ran for cover, and even got ambushed. But not me. I guess the joker just got lucky." He said, glaring more toward Robin, who could only put his head down. "Well. . .let me tell you something sister! If this joker wouldn't have stood up with a few others and fought the way we did, Robin's butt would still be frozen, the other Titans would be on ice, and you'd still be tucked away! So before you call me selfish, and irresponsible . . .think about that next time you decide to disappear!"
By then it was so silent in the room, that you could've heard a pin drop. As Robin stared at the green changeling with shock, he knew deep down that Beastboy had every right to vent his frustrations. Given his impish and very puerile character, Robin suddenly realized that Beastboy had taken on a very serious responsibility, and took over his role where he'd messed up, and saved the Titans from annihilation. It occurred to him that after everything that happened, not a single person took the time to thank Beastboy, or show any kind of appreciation for his efforts. But instead, insisted on treating him like a jester, and making light of the whole situation. Which he definitely took to heart. And unfortunately, Raven just happened to be in the line of fire.
Although completely floored over the way he stood up to her, the hint of truth from that insult, caused Ravens jaw to tighten with rage. Fighting to keep it under control, she glared at him full of resentment, and hissed, "Do me a favor. Why don't youdisappear." Letting out a scoff, he irritably replied,
"Yeah. You'd probably be better off if I vanished for good. Huh?" Shooting him one last dirty look, Raven turned away and coldly replied, "Try /iexhilarated/i!"
Although hurt by her cruel remark, Beastboy was too angry to show it. Spitefully glaring back at her he folded his arms and hollered, "Fine!"

In that second the power completely shut down, causing darkness to flood throughout the room. "Hey what the. . ." Before Robin had a chance to do anything, the towers back up generator kicked into gear, and full power was restored once again. As the light flooded throughout the room, Raven could feel all their eyes on her rather questioning.
"What?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Don't look at me. I didn't do this. . ."
"Hey, guys. . .Come check this out. . ." Cyborg replied, staring out of the bay window. Gradually the other four made their way to the window, shocked by what they saw.
"Whoa. . ." Robin muttered under his breath. "It's a full blackout. The whole city is without power."
"I wonder what caused it?" From Beastboys question, they noticed a blinding light distantly flash across the bay. "Wow! Did you see that?"
"Sure did. . ." Robin replied as the blinding flare occurred again. "It almost looks like lightening. . ."
"Yeah. . .but. . .there isn't a cloud in the sky. . ." Starfire cleverly pointed out.
"I know. And that's kinda odd. Maybe we ought to investigate. ." Immediately upon Robins words, the power shut off again. This was followed by another blinding explosion that shook the foundation beneath their feet. "Whoa!" Cyborg replied, trying to steady himself. Recognizing the location, Robin hollered, "It's coming from the cities Electrical Plant! Titans move!"

Moments later. . .
Within minutes the five Titans arrived at the locked gates of the cities main power plant, to find Dr. Light standing at the entrance. By the way he stiffened up, Robin could tell he was expecting them. "Teen Titans. . .I've been waiting for you!"
"Dr. Light! Why am I not surprised to see you here?"
"Because I never give up, that's why. In spite of how many times you throw me in jail, over, and over, and over again!" He snapped, voice fueled with resentment. "But you should no by now that no cell is fool proof! And during my brief stay, I devised a scheme that's completely impeccable!"
"Oh, really. . .And just what are you up to, this time?" Robin mocked rather derisively. Shooting him an irritated glance he snapped,
"Simple boy! Although my suit was designed to contain vast amounts of energy, the problem was that I was using the wrong type, and the most complicated of means! Who would've thought that the answer would've so simple, and right underneath my nose! Here! Right here everybody depends on the electrical current coming from this plant! If I control this, then I'll control the entire city! With the power of my suit being fueled from the cities main current, I am completely undefeatable! And this time, the mayor, and all the officials will have no choice to surrender, or be in the dark permanently. . ."
"Oooh, how intimidating." Raven flatly muttered, folding her arms.
Unable to help himself, Beastboy scoffed and added,
"Yeah. . .Maybe we should get a hose and squirt him!"
As Raven rolled her eyes, Beastboys snide comment had Dr. Light fuming from the inside out. "Mock me, will you! Well I'll teach you not to mess with the Light!" He hollered, thrusting his hand forward. Within that second, a bolt of electricity shot from the tips of his fingers. As it headed toward them with lightening speed, Robin hollered,
"Titans, look out!" Quickly they all scattered in different directions, as the high-energy bolt scorched the side of the building.
"That's right! Run you cowards! Hide like the babies you really are!" As he began to laugh hysterically, Robin angrily shouted out,
"Are you crazy?! Do you realize the danger you're putting everybody in, including yourself?"
Letting out a scoff he replied, "Of course I do! But, some risks or worth taking. For once I have full control, and I'm completely unstoppable! No one can defeat me now!" In that second he waved his arms upward. In a shocked daze, the five watched as the powerlines actually snapped off the four main poles, and slithered into a circle until they had surrounded the entire plant. As they reconnected, the lines let off a fiery electrical pulse that surrounded the plant like a force field. Smugly glancing back at them, he slowly folded his arms in a pretentious manner. "And I dare anyone to try!"
Shaking his head, Beastboy nervously muttered, "Dude. . .I think we've got a problem."
"Wow. . .That obvious, huh?" Raven sarcastically muttered, ignoring his dirty look.
At the same time, Robin observed something about Dr. Light that he hadn't before. As he turned and headed for the main control tower, he noticed that there was no chord hooked up to the back of his suit, to provide the energy. Very strange indeed. But he had to be getting the source of his power from somewhere. . .but where. This caused Robin to silently gaze around the plant, looking for anything suspicious. Until finally his eyes found something that stood out plain as day. "Ahh-Hah. . ." he muttered under his breath. "We got you, now. . ." This caused him to scoot a little closer to the group.
"Hey. . .I think I see where the source of his power is coming from. Look. . ." He said pointing up towards the rooftop of the tower. Now they all looked up to the sight of what appeared to be a huge glowing antenna. "That transistor. It's actually deviating the power from the main transformer, directly into his suit."
"What? You mean to say the guy is wireless?"
Cyborg asked rather surprised.
"Yeah. We got to knock that antenna down. That's the only way to kill the current running through the suit and everything else he touches. But we can't do that unless we get through that force field of his. . ." This immediately had him looking toward Raven. "You think you can you teleport us through there?"
Nodding, she replied, "Sure. . ."
"Great. . .But take us on the other side of the plant, where we won't be seen. And we'll figure out where to go from there. . ." Nodding once again, she replied,
"Get behind me."
Eyes brightly glowing, a huge black aura surrounded over her and the others. Taking on the form of a raven, it lifted them up until they vanished into thin air. Reappearing the back of the plant, Robin cautiously glanced around the corner, to find Dr. Light still standing there, completely oblivious to their presence. Looking back up at the antenna, he suddenly had an idea. "Here's what I propose. Four of us will go up to the top and short circuit that transistor, while one of us stays behind and keeps him distracted. . ." This in turn had them slowly looking toward Raven, whose eyebrow slowly raised.
Nodding at her, Robin shrugged and said. "Why not? He's afraid of you. . ."
From the side, Beastboy muttered under his breath.
"Who isn't. . ." Just loud enough for Raven to shoot him an irritated glance. Letting out a frustrated sigh, Robin looked at the two of them and replied,
"Look. . .will you two put your differences to the side for now. This isn't a game! He's playing hard ball, with electrical current that can kill! So please. . .be careful!" he said, more toward Raven. "And stay focused. . ."
