Fight For You
A chilly breeze blew through the late evening air and if anyone were around they would have pulled their jacket closer to their body to protect them from the chill. If anyone were around they would hear the sounds of heavy machinery grinding and the sound of sparking and electricity as something big was malfunctioning. If anyone were around they would see the blue and white lights coming from a rather larger opening in a tower that stood next to an abandoned factory. They would have found this odd and reported it to the authorities at once. But in this place no one was around. It made for a perfect location to do evil deeds.
"Professor, I don't know how much more it can take before it overloads!" A voice yelled over the noise of whatever machine was sparking and grinding angrily.
"Just a little bit longer!" The mysterious Professor called back.
He had spent too long designing this weapon, too long being a good professor. He wanted to be one of the bad boys. And not just any bad boy, he wanted to be a force to reckon with. These days it was hard to with those five annoying super—no, he couldn't think of that now.
He watched as the giant blue crystal cracked as another jolt of energy surged through it. Many of his henchmen ran this way and that, avoiding the shooting sparks and putting out fires as they sprung up around the weapon.
"Professor Chang!" The same voice yelled again.
There was a loud noise and the crystal shattered, sending pieces flying everywhere. Many of the henchmen dived behind anything that would shield them from the explosion. Professor Chang hit the wall with his fist in frustration. The machine gave a groan as someone turned it off.
"This is the fourth different power source we've tried and nothing can contain the levels of energy we need." He yelled at anyone that would hear.
Most of his men had started cleaning up as Chang sat down in a chair glaring at the weapon that was supposed to be his greatest invention. This invention would put him on top of the world and get rid of those pesky Titans once and for all.
"Maybe we're trying the wrong source." The man who had been operating the machine said as he approached Chang cautiously.
"We've tried four different things, what do you suppose we should try next?" Chang spat.
The man cleared his throat nervously. "Maybe not a what, but a who."
Chang opened his mouth to argue, to say that it was a stupid suggestion, but closed it and thought for a moment. He knew four perfectly good specimens that might fit the bill. The problem now was deciding which one they needed.
"And how are we to discover which Titan would be the perfect fit?" Change asked thoughtfully.
"Why Professor Chang, you're a scientist." A voice said in the dark from below where Change was sitting. "You have to perform an experiment."
Chang got to his feet and ran over to the railing to see who had spoken to him. "Who are you?" He yelled. He thought his location was safe and secure.
A man with green hair and a white painted face stepped into view. There was a smile that looked to big for him painted on his face. His hands were behind his back and he strolled causally away from the henchmen that had prepared to attack him on a moments notice.
"I asked who you were and if you don't tell me I will-"
"Attack me?" The man asked with a laugh. "Can I at least show you a card trick first?"
Before Chang could answer the man pulled out a deck of cards. They moved quickly through his fingers as he shuffled them.
"Pick a card, any card!"
The closes henchmen picked one and the man motioned for him to return it to the deck. He quickly shuffled them again. He pulled off the top card and showed it to the henchmen.
"Is this your card?"
"Actually, it-" Before he could answer the card released a purple gas that filled the space.
The henchmen fell to the ground coughing and spluttering while the man laughed. He skipped over them and hopped up the stairs so he was level with Change who had back up against the wall.
"You want to know who I am?" He said with a grin. "I'm the man for the job. You want to know which Titan you need? I can help with that."
Chang looked at the man for a moment. "And why would you help me? What do you want in return?"
The man fluffed the flower that was pinned to his shirt. "Just a front row seat to watch is all. I like to the ruffle the feathers of birds, if you know what I mean." He said with a raise of an eyebrow.
Chang suddenly gasped. "But aren't you suppose to be-"
"Can't chase bats forever. Sometimes you got to branch out." He said as he sat down in the chair Chang had been sitting in.
"So you can help me design an experiment that will determine which of the Titans can contain the energy that weapon produces when it destroys?" Chang asked as his tone became excited.
"Honey, I can do whatever you need." The Joker said with an evil grin
"Is Robin still shut up in the evidence room?" Beast Boy asked as he plopped on the couch between Raven and Cyborg. "It's almost time to start the movie!"
He grabbed a few pieces of popcorn from the bowl Cyborg was holding and chewed them nosily. A vein in Raven's head throbbed for a few seconds before she turned to Starfire who was looking at the door with a frown on her face.
"Why don't you go get him? We can wait." She said as Cyborg nodded his head in agreement.
Beast Boy groaned and both Raven and Cyborg smacked him with a pillow. Starfire floated down the hallway to the evidence room where the door was shut tight. He had been shutting himself in there lately and she couldn't understand why. Since they had returned from Tokyo things had been pretty quiet. There seemed no real reason to worry. Robin, on the other hand, always found a reason to worry.
"Robin, it is time to watch the stay at home movies and eat the delicious popcorn with friends please." She said as she knocked on the door.
There was a noise from behind the door before it opened to reveal the masked hero looking down at a stack of papers in his hand. He looked up and smiled at her.
"Sorry, Star. I must have lost track of time." He looked around the room. There were papers everywhere. Some on the floor some stuck to the wall with marks and notes he had added throughout the day.
Starfire smiled warmly at him. "There is no fault in working hard, but I believe your expression is 'do not go looking for the trouble and the trouble will not go looking for you'."
Robin laughed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, something like that." He put the stack of papers down on the desk and decided he would come back to it after the movie.
"Since we've been gone I just want to make sure there wasn't something we missed. No rest for the wicked." He said as he took her hand and headed back to the common room.
"But surely even villains must sleep, it is impossible for the people of Earth to live without-" Starfire began with a confused look on her face.
"It's just an expression Star." Robin said quickly, but kindly.
The door opened and the two titans joined their friends on the couch. As soon as they sat down Beast Boy jumped to his feet.
"Now comes the moment of truth! Which flick shall we watch tonight?"
"As long as it doesn't have the words 'super', 'ninja', 'fury', or 'monkey' in the title then I don't care." Raven said flatly as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Beast Boys face dropped at this as his suggestion surely contained all of those words she had just banned. Starfire was giggling at their exchanged as Cyborg started going through the movies on their computer.
"There's that killer clown movie that came out last Halloween we never got around to watching." He said.
"Clowns!" Beast Boy yelled in protest. He dove behind the couch to amusement of the other titans.
"What's a matter Beast Boy? Afraid of a few clowns?" Robin asked with a chuckle.
He popped his head over the edge of the couch. Staring at the menu screen of the movie.
"Please, I thought clowns on your planet were meant to entertain children." Starfire said as she stared at the clown barring its sharp and bloody teeth.
"Clowns are scary no matter what setting." He said as the rest of the team looked at him.
"Horror movie writers like to prey on people's fears and sometimes that means turning funny clowns into killers that eat children." Raven said as she continued to look at Beast Boy.
Beast Boy swallowed a lump in his throat and pulled himself over the couch to sit next to her. "Play it Cyborg! Clowns aren't scary!" He said as mustered his courage.
"Alright, here we go." Cyborg said with a smirk before he sat between Beast Boy and Starfire.
Halfway through the movie all five titans were stuck to each other as the main character slowly entered a deserted fun house.
"Don't do it!" Cyborg yelled as the main character ignored his advice.
"Oh no. No, no no." Beast Boy said as he covered his eyes.
There was a movement from behind her and she turned when the killer clown lunged and suddenly the alarm in the tower went off. Beast Boy screamed and jumped into Raven's arms, Cyborg fell off the couch and Starfire and Robin grabbed onto each other. Once they realized what had happened they all laughed nervous.
Raven blushed as Beast Boy's face was very close to hers. She quickly dropped him as Robin got up to answer the call.
"The Teen Titans! So nice to meet you!"
Oh boy it's been a while since I've written some TT fanfiction, but I've been rewatching it and so I just had to. The nice thing about rewatching the series is I realized how much the team cares for each other (yes, i'm a robstar person) but the bond they have with each other is adorable. So I'm hoping to play a lot on that. Anyway I hope you like the first chapter.
Please drop me a review!
