2 Days Before, 9:00AM
It was a beautiful day at Jump City. Birds were chirping, snow was falling from the sky, people were going about there lives, not a care in the world. However, an explosion near the Jump City bank caused a bit of chaos as within the smoke five figures, one of them the size of a giant, emerged. It was the HIVE. Gizmo, the genius behind many inventions to slow down authority, Jinx, a woman with mystical powers, Mammoth, a giant with super strength, Seemore, whose single oculus can cause some serious damage, and Billy Numerous, an evildoer who can replicate himself as many times as he can. This time, they stole $8 Billion worth of diamonds, and not even the JCPD were able to stop them. Only one team can stop the HIVE. And speak of the Devil, they just arrived. They are the Teen Titans. They are Starfire, a woman who originates from another world known as Tamerania, Cyborg, Half Man, Half Machine, Full Fighting Spirit, Beast Boy, a person who can transform into any animal, any time, Raven, Half Demon woman of otherworldly origins, and their leader Robin, sidekick and student to the legendary Dark Knight Batman. They are ready to take down the HIVE.
"OK, Titans, you know the Drill, let none of them get away with those diamonds." Robin told his subordinates as he draws his trademark staff. "GO!" With that, the Titans charged towards the HIVE. Robin took on Mammoth, Starfire faced off with Seemore, Raven dueled with Billy Numerous, Cyborg squared off with Gizmo, while Beast Boy came Head-to-Head with Jinx.
Mammoth threw a downward punch towards Robin, but he dodged it right as it was about to hit him and it ended up hitting the ground where he was. Robin whacked Mammoth's right arm while it was stuck from missing him. Robin then threw a smoke bomb at Mammoth's face. When smoke burst from the bomb, Robin bashed Mammoth in the forehead, and then he collapsed from the blow, leaving him quarter-conscious. "Well, that wraps this guy up. He won't be acting tough back in the Detention Facility." Robin remarked as he landed perfectly.
Starfire was having little trouble beam-clashing with Seemore. Starfire applied more pressure to her beam, with managed to beat Seemore's. Seemore was staggered from losing the beam-clash, but recovered in time just as Starfire was charging towards him, he deflected the oncoming punch and landed one of his own to Starfire's abdomen. Starfire barely felt any pain as she countered it with a strong roundhouse kick to Seemore's oculus. Seemore was sent flying to the air for a while, but then fell down to the street, his oculus busted, needing some time to get it straight. "All done with him. It will be awhile before he can see again, but he'll know where he will be when he does."
Raven may be outnumbered by Billy Numerous and his replicas, but that didn't faze her at all, she focused herself and chanted her usual spell. "Azrath Metrion Zinthos!" A beam of dark energy burst from her palms and hit one of Billy's clones, bouncing back to another, and another, and another until the real Billy was left. It was just him alone and Raven. She formed a tendril on her right arm and whipped Billy Numerous' face, spinning him around for a few seconds before slowing to a stop then collapsing on the ground. "Now that was just easy."
Cyborg and Gizmo we're trying to hack each other, but one barely had an advantage over the other as they were both technical geniuses. Cyborg managed to outwit Gizmo, disabling his spider legs and other electronic tools. Cyborg then rushed towards Gizmo and landed an uppercut sending him flying far into the air, this being a runt, before falling back down to the ground, face first. Gizmo groaned in pain, as Cyborg pumped his fist in the air. "BOOYAH! Not that was just too easy!"
Beast Boy in pterodactyl form effortlessly dodged Jinx's energy beams. When he was on hovering over her, he changed into a gorilla and literally flattened her like a pancake. He got off of her and changed back to normal. Jinx was alright, but was in total pain. "That's it for her. Is it just me, or are they getting too easy to beat?" The other Titans replied "It's just you." as Beast Boy also noticed that the other Titans had no trouble taking down the other HIVE members.
Moments after the Titans' victory, the JCPD reinforcements came and took the beaten up and semi-conscious HIVE into custody. The townsfolk gathered around the Titans in joy for what they done. The bank managers even gave them of their money as a reward for saving the diamonds and reminded them that Black Friday was coming.
Half an hour later, the Titans were back at their tower base, barely feeling any exhaust from the fight. "Black Friday, huh?" Robin said, lost in thought with what the bank managers told him and his subordinates. Beast Boy spoke up and said "You think we could be finding some stuff to buy with that money those bank managers gave us?" "You think?" Raven replied. "Isn't The Black Friday where retail prices across the world drop drastically, and where people take advantage of such low prices that they swarm in front of the stores?" Starfire asked. Cyborg already figured out what he will get on Black Friday. "Looks like someone's been studying earth life, Star! To be honest, I have been getting some new sound systems across the tower from Syen." Beast Boy added "You Know, I could go for some cologne from a brand I've heard called Guy Nieth." "Careful what we wish for, Titans. Black Friday may be a great time to get spectacular bargains, but it's also the most dangerous. 2017 cash sales were insane. I can't imagine what this year would be." Robin gently warned the Titans, reminding them about the annual chaos from the shoppers. "Don't worry, Robin, I have super strength from my training on Tamerania, Beast Boy Can just turn into a mammoth, Cyborg can just estimate the safest time for Black Friday shopping, and Raven can fly over the chaos." Starfire reassured Robin. It has only been six months since the two of them had become a couple. "Thanks, Star. We all got a big shopping trip tomorrow morning. Once Cyborg finds the appropiate time to enter the stores, of course." to that, Robin."

Unknown Laboratory
A man in a white hazmat suit was ready to spread a disease that one tormented people in the past. A virus that killed many in New York two years ago. A vaccine was yet to be developed for the citizens, but will they be able to spread the vaccine across the country? The man took a drop of his liquid virus, the Green Poison, and placed it on a stack of $20 bills. His next target to hit: Jump City. Its citizens won't know what hit them until it's too late.

Black Friday
Day Before, 10:15AM
The Titans were looking around the mall for what else they could possibly want. Cyborg has already got some sound systems for the tower by Syen, Beast Boy got cologne by Guy Nieth. The stores my not be hectic as they usually are this time of year, but the Titans could prepare for trouble as they try to leave the store when they're done. "Ok, Titans, this Black Friday was not as chaotic as the others, but be on alert when we leave the store. We might have some trouble." Robin said. "Not to worry, everyone, if the crowds block the door, I can just teleport us back to the front, on the outside." Raven reassured with a light smile, maintaining her gloomy image. "That's right Raven. Let's all get some lunch soon, I'm starting to get hungry." Beast Boy said. The other Titans were feeling hungry as well. "Ok, Beastie, let's get lunch!" Cyborg said, as the other Titans agreed with him.
At a diamond store inside the mall, a mysterious man was about to buy an expensive accessory for his wife. A cover for what is to come for Jump City. "I'm pretty sure your wife will love this tanzanite bracelet. Most exquisite in Jump City right now, also all the rage." The clerk said to him. "Alright, I'll take it" The man said. "Great! Let me ring you up right here... that will be $100." "No problem, I can pay with cash." "Alright, works for me." The clerk took the cash, unknown to what is actually on the greenbacks. "Thanks a bunch for this. See ya." "Have a nice day, sir." The man walked towards the door. "Good day to you, sir." The doorman said as he got the door for the mysterious man. He left with only a wave of his hand to the doorman. The door closed behind him, as he just kept walking to the mall exit. He thought to himself, I might die this time, but if I do, I'll have a lot of company in hell. He knows he will have hell to pay from what he will do to Jump City. The oncoming events will be so big, even the Teen Titans might not have a chance of stopping it.
