The thin crescent moon lent little light to the city below. Dark clouds pregnant with another batch of rain threatened to release their heavy burden down on the city yet again on that cold, miserable night. Down on the dark streets of Jump city a man clothed in a dark suit ran faster than he ever had in his life. His heart was throbbing in his chest and sweat dripped from him brow. His feet slammed against the pavement, splashing into the occasional puddle as he held close to him the most valuable thing he'd ever gotten his hands on.

Behind him, not so far back, more footsteps echoed between the tall buildings. His pursuers were gaining on him; it wouldn't take long for them to catch up. 'I need to do something or I'm done for!' he thought, panic itching at his mind. He noticed that the building he was currently running beside ended a few feet ahead. Between that and the next building was a slim alley.

The man made a sharp turn and skidded into the alley, knocking over a metal trash can. He swore as the crash broke the silence and stumbled, but recovered and continued running ahead. He had just blown his chance of sneaking away discreetly. The alley was becoming darker and he had a hard time avoiding the trash and litter that lined the buildings. He still heard the foot steps close behind him; it was the only thing that kept his legs moving under him.

He gasped in surprise and fell to the damp ground as a pair of red glowing eyes suddenly appeared in front of him. Any light that had managed to reach his eyes in the narrow alley was now completely gone. It was pitch black all except for the eyes that glared down at him. He grasped his precious item even tighter to him as he scooted back, away from the eyes.

"I hate chasing rats" A dark and seemingly pissed off voice said, the eyes narrowing with their owner's words. He moved as far back as he could until his back hit the wall of the building behind him. The voice sent chills down his spine and he felt his body start to shake.

The eyes now floated to his right, he decided to make a run for it back the way he had came. He quickly scrambled to his feet and took off to the left only to be met by a pair of green eyes, glowing with energy.

"Running is not a wise decision" The feminine voice said sternly. From behind her the foot steps became louder and a single blue eye joined them in the dark alley. He assumed there were others, but it was to dark to see.

"Mind letting a little light in Raven?" asked a male voice. The shield of darkness around them disappeared and the man could see that he was cornered between the girl with the evil eyes and four other abnormal looking teens. He held the object protectively to his chest, his panicked eyes darting from Raven to the other four Titans.

"Hand over the jewels" Robin demanded. The man's hand shot to his suit's breast pocket protectively.

"E…even if I do, they won't be the same…" His voice was dry and shaky. He looked like a small animal trapped between two predators.

Robin narrowed his eyes impatiently "If you don't give them back, I'll take them back" he threatened, taking something from his belt into his hand. "If…If I give them back, will you let me go?" the theif asked.

"We can't do that. You committed a crime and you'll be punished for it. Whether you go to jail peacefully or unconscious is up to you" Robin answered.

The man lowered his head. Defeated, he decided he had no chance against this group. He reached into his jacket pocket and took out a small blue pouch. He handed it to Robin who snatched it away.

"Where's the rest?" Robin demanded. The man nodded his head towards the pouch. "Take a look, they're all there…" he said. Robin loosened the tie around the velvet pouch and let the jewels fall into his hand. His eyes widened in surprise, the three other titans beside him gasped. It was true, all fifty of the priceless jewels were there, the only problem was that each jewel was now smaller than a marble. Most were less than half their usual size.

"What?" Robin whispered to himself in disbelief. He looked up at the shaky man. "How did you do this?" Robin asked in angry amazement. The man looked down that the object in his arms and Robin followed his gaze. What ever it was, it was covered by a black cloth bag. "What is that?"

The man didn't answer. "Fine, you can explain it to the police" Robin said as he carefully returned the jewels back into the pouch. "Let's go"


The five Titans stood in a dimly lit room, all around them dangerous weapons and items collected from past enemies were stored in glass cases. In front of them was a small metal platform sitting on a low counter with a flashing red LED embedded in the metal. Robin placed a strange machine not much larger than a toaster onto the smooth platform and the LED began flashing green with a short beep.

"So whadda'ya think it is?" Cyborg asked no one in particular.

Robin shrugged "No clue, but I'm sure the police will get it out of him. Until then we just need to keep it safe like we promised"

Behind him Beastboy slurped away his blueberry frosty. Raven turned around and glared at him, Beastboy smiled sheepishly and stopped drinking. "Your not even suppose to have that in here" She scolded. Beastboy laughed nervously "Chill Rea, it's not like I'm gonna' spill it"

Robin looked over at Beastboy "She's right Beastboy, next time leave the food and drinks outside. As punishment you can program the lockdown code for the new machine. You remember how to do it right?" Robin asked. Beastboy nodded "yeah, yeah, I remember" He sighed as he watched the other Titans leave the room. He took a big sip of his cold frosty before turning to the machine. "Owww! Brain freeze" He groaned, holding his head in his hands.

He put the half full cup down on the counter besides the machine. "Hmm… What should the pass word be?" He scratched his green skull in thought. "I got it!" He smiled and began punching the keys on the small keyboard inserted into the counter top. The words BB ROCKS flashed on the screen and Beastboy clicked Enter. "Well that was easy" he said as he walked to the metal sliding door, leaving a certain beverage behind.
