I do not, will never, and always hope to own the Teen Titans.


"Damn it Beast Boy! Stop running in on my fights! You could get hurt!" Raven yelled as she threw another object at her opponent. This time they were fighting simple androids. However the creator for these robots was a mystery. They had no paint, no serial numbers, and just enough technology to arm them and tell then what to attack, which was naturally, anything that moved.

"Sorry, Rae! Won't happen again!" Beast Boy called from where he landed after being thrown by one of the larger machines. Turning into a T-rex the changling began to charge at a group of his opponents, knocking then over and tearing them apart with his teeth. With a jerk of his now gargantuan head he threw one into the air for Cyborg to use as a target.

"Boo-ya!" came Cyborg's victory cry. The robot exploded in a cloud of smoke and electrical fire from the well aimed hit. Still smoldering debris fell on the cowering business district of Jump City. The upper windows flashed neon green as Starfire threw bolts at the diminishing crowd of foes, Robin stood on a pile of robot parts surveying the damage his team was doing to the city's intruders.

"Okay Titans!" he called to his team, "looks like our work is done here. Let's wrap it up and go get something to eat!" He smiled at the cheering reply of his teammates and steped carefully down the mountain of broken metal bodies.

"Very interesting," mumbled the human shaped shadow, back turned to a television screen displaying the titans, currently at Don Pablo's Pizza and Mexican Restaurant, the odd lighting making its face hard to see clearly. "This boy, he can turn into any animal you say, even alien creatures?"

"And those deceased." replied an automated voice coming from the telephone on the desk. "Though I must say, with the wide range of animals, he does seem to favor a small few."

"That habit is easy to break. Besides, I don't need this particular specimen. In fact, it would be rather wasteful if I were to take him away permanently. I shall create another, one more powerful, and train it myself to work out all those nasty habits."

"Common'!" yelled Beast Boys voice from the TV, "Just try the veggie pizza! You know I can't eat the WHOLE thing by myself."

"Everyone knows you can, Beast Boy," comes Robins reply. "We'll just order the pizza and if you have extra we'll take it home in a doggy bag."

"But we never eat the doggy bag food Robin, and I don't like being wasteful!"

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. Just order the pizza and I'll have a slice." Raven's annoyed voice replies.

After a short shocked silence Starfire asked in a concerned voice, "Robin, pigs are taking part in the joy that is flying now, correct?"

"I'm just trying to get him to shut up." Raven mumbled.

"Aww common' Rae!"

The shadow shifts around to face the TV, making its graying hair and small glasses evident on an aged male face. "And the girl, the dark one. You say she has telekinetic powers, and can use dark magic?"

"Yes," replied the phone. "Though I must say, if you're thinking what I think you are, that will be very hard. You see the girl has to repress her emotions—"

"I know about the emotional situation. What I hope to succeed in does not always need emotion, to be possible."

"Oh, I understand. You plan on—"

"Your services are no longer needed. Thank you for the information. You shall be heftily rewarded for it. I will contact you if I need anything else." With that the old man picked up the phone and put it back down, effectively ending the conversation.

"Wow, raven. You really gonna brave a veggie pizza? You've got more guts than I thought!" Cyborg's voice echoed on the video as the old man settled down with steepled fingers to watch his new prey.


Sending you all love!
