Chapter One, Heatwave.
Titan tower lets off a radiant glow as the powerful sun reflected off the many glass windows. Standing as a beacon of hope it was
created to become. Today was an extremely hot day in jump city, reaching a scorching 103 degrees Fahrenheit, and worst of all, the tower's air conditioner decided now would be the best time to burn out.
"Come on! Work you beautiful creation o' mine." A 20-year-old Cyborg cried. His two large metallic hands were currently engulfed in the circuitry of the open panel. Desperately trying to fix the problem with two retractable fans keeping the organic side of his face cool.
Without the assistance of the air conditioner, the metal tower seemed to radiate heat like an active volcano. Raven was currently sitting, book in hand, on the round couch with her cloak tossed over the side next to her. Beastboy was in the form of a desert fox next to his dark companion, curled in a ball lightly touching her thigh. Robin was on the far right of the couch flipping through the channels on the TV nonchalantly. He had decided to forego training, to everyone's relief. Starfire, the only one not largely affected by the heat wave, was trying to be of help to her metallic friend.
"May I offer my assistance friend Cyborg?" Starfire sweetly asked.
"Not unless you can fit inside that crevice." Cyborg chuckled while positioning his wrist to point at a small opening in the wires. Beastboy's ears picked up and he scampered over the back of the couch, catching the fabric with his back claws as he pounced on Cyborgs back. He switched to human form and clung to his best friends back. Unknown to the green 18-year-old, Raven had a small, barely visible smile on her face.
"I could probably fit in there as a rat and help the best I can." Beast boy happily stated peering at the exposed guts of the panel.
Cyborg pondered his options quickly; on one hand, he could have Beast boy help and either break the air conditioner or be done quicker, or he could try to fix it himself and be there all day.
"Alright BB, get on in there... but be careful not to fry yourself." He finally said. Beast boy nodded and switched to the form of a small pack rat. He carefully squirmed his way through the contested area, until he positioned himself and waited for commands with an affirmative squeak. The two began to work together, and quite effectively in fact. Starfire retreated to her two friends on the couch and slowly floated to sit where Beast boy had been sitting just moments ago.
"Friends?" Starfire quietly asked, gaining the attention of the couch's occupancy. "I was wondering if you guys would like to accompany me to the beach?"
The orange-skinned 18-year-old questioned. Robin nodded and turned his attention back to the TV, and Raven simply said
"Sure, but I'm not wearing a bathing suit."
The tameranian clasped her hands in joy and joined Robin in watching the TV. She didn't bother moving close to him because, while they had shared a kiss in Tokyo, Robin stated soon after that it was too dangerous to keep relationships in the hero business. She had obviously disagreed but she soon found herself realizing that Robin may not have been "the one".
A deep voice cut through the awkward silence like butter. "BB you gotta grab the blue one... THE BLUE ONE NOT THE RED ONE" Cyborg yelled with a hint of fear in his voice. which was realistic, for if Beast boy had connected the red wire, his metallic arm would have received a shock as well as the green rat within the panel. "Alright, we're good, you can come out now rodent." Cyborg sighed lightly. Beastboy made his way out of the compartment and morphed back into his human form.
"Sorry tin can, Packrats can only differ from different shades of blue and green... but red is a little harder to differentiate." Beast boy said as he slapped his robotic friend on the back, hurting his gloved hand a little.
Cyborg looked at Beast boy and grinned a wide, toothy grin. "I didn't know you knew the word differentiate."
Beast boy stuck his tongue out and made a face. "just start er' up my dude"
After a few seconds of fiddling, the robotic man closed the panel and pushed a few buttons on his arm. upon pressing a final touchscreen button, everyone waited with baited breath.
silence.
Then the slight whir of electronic circuitry could be heard from behind the walls. the tower began pumping cold air into the smoldering room and the teens let loose a chorus of cheers.
"Ah hell yeah dude!" Beast boy yelled as he and Cyborg shared a high five and fist bump.
"Nice job guys" Robin congratulated.
"Yes indeed, friend Cyborg and friend Beastboy make quite the team," Starfire said excitedly and twirled around the two gushing boys. Even Raven smiled and gave a nod towards the duo.
Just then the tower's alarm bellowed through the Titan's ears. Beast boy in general due to his superior hearing. Robin was rapidly searching through the reports on the computer. He suddenly turned around and spoke. "Looks like we'll be going to the beach, early guys." Then he shifted his gaze to Beast Boy. "Adonis is crashing a weightlifting competition.
Upon hearing the villain's name, Beast boy's ears flattened back against his head and a low, dangerous growl escaped his throat. "That punk is going back to jail."
Robin nodded and yelled the two legendary words. "Titans, GO!" and with that, they were gone.
At the beach:
Upon reaching the beach, the team found Adonis throwing weights around screeching about how he was the true man and blah blah blah.
"Hey, Adonis! Why don't you pick on someone your own size." The 19-year old Robin yelled with a smirk. Adonis cracked his artificial knuckles and started to speak... In the third person, what a weirdo.
"Adonis will crush you puny, so-called Titans With his new suit." With that, he ran full force like a locomotive train towards Robin. The boy wonder simply side-stepped the brute and Adonis missed his grab for the man. Instead, he grabbed a face full of sand. Robin could hear Beast boy's laughter in the background as he slammed his staff into Adonis' back. Except, it didn't make a dent in the titanium suit. In fact, it managed to send a shudder through Robin's arms that made him feel queasy. Adonis managed to grab Robin by his face and Tossed him like a farmer with a rotten tomato. robin, unfortunately, slammed his head directly on the bar of a nearby bench press. He tried to get up but found he was incredibly dizzy.
Raven conjured steps for Beast Boy and Cyborg as they charged the villain. Cyborg jumped off the last step followed by Beast Boy. In mid-air, Cyborg shot Adonis with his sonic cannon, which caused the villain to hunch over just in time for the top of his head to collide with the body of a rhino. Beast Boy morphed into a pteranodon and grabbed Cyborg by his shoulders before he even touched the ground. Adonis came to his senses a bit too late as a blast of dark energy shook him and threw him back into Starfire, who then slammed his face back into the sand with one arm.
"Had enough yet, Klorbag!" Starfire yelled at her enemy.
"Good one Star!" Beast Boy yelled and gave her a thumbs up.
She smiled a genuine smile as her cheeks grew rosy. Suddenly Adonis ripped his head out of the sand, spraying sand in the tameranian's eyes. The equivalent of a cheap shot, as she was thrown into Raven. "Hey, not cool man!" Cyborg yelled as he and Beast Boy charged.
Beast Boy skillfully dodged a strike by turning into a hummingbird and pounced onto Adonis' back as a sabertooth tiger. With the pompous villain presumably distracted, Cyborg ran forward and threw all his weight into a powerful right hook. Unexpectedly, Adonis caught the metal teens fist with his one free arm, while the other was trying to peel the green sabertooth off his back.
"Oh shit!" Cyborg huffed before Adonis twisted his body, ripping the cybernetic man's arm clean off subsequently using it to smash the green mammal in the head. This was sufficient for Beast Boy to lose his grip just enough for Adonis to throw the green, recently shifted turtle at his own teammate. Even though the turtle was to minimize the damage done to him, it collided with cyborg's head, the human side, with a loud crack. He was out cold, at least until his currently shocked cybernetics kicked in once more to wake him up.
before Adonis could do more damage to the duo, Starfire slammed her two fists into Adonis' head, effectively knocking his helmet off. The villain backed away holding his head and glared at the two women in front of him.
"You will not harm my friends anymore!" Starfire yelled "Especially not Beast Boy!" she added, but quickly flushed at what she just spoke out loud. Raven gave her a quick quizzical look before resuming her glaring. Adonis' jaw practically hit the sand.
"Are you kidding me, That twerp? Why not someone like your's truly?" He said in a sleazy tone.
Meanwhile, Beast boy had dragged Cyborg, rather slowly due to how heavy he was, to a safe place as well as Robin. He put two fingers up in front of Robin's eyes and asked him "How many?" Robin's answer almost made him burst out laughing.
"Cherry pie." The apprentice of The Dark Knight said before falling back into the sand.
"Good" Beast Boy answered before checking Cyborg's wrist panel indeed stated he was still kicking.
Running as a cheetah back to the battle, Beast boy was met with a sight that he never thought he would ever see. Starfire and Raven both had power inhibiting collars on and were trapped in some sort of translucent, red-tinged bubble. But what really grabbed his attention was that they were both clad in only their underwear!
"Don't you dare put your hands on my grabnaks" Starfire yelled angrily whilst covering herself. Raven uncharacteristically had her knees to her chest sitting behind her Tameranin friend.
Beast Boy felt a surge of rage as he put two and two together. A mighty lion roar bellowed from behind Adonis and he quickly spun around.
"There you are, good. You can watch as Adonis shows these women what a real man is like you green weasel." He laughed.
"YOU NEED MY POWER GARFIELD." The Beast howled in the green man's mind. Beast Boy shook his head not truly convinced now was a good time to show a few new tricks. Adonis then began a speech.
"You are but a puny child, what these women need, even if they don't know it yet is a night with a real man."
"Kill him" Beast Boy quickly growled and the Beast obliged.
"Isn't that right la-" Adonis was cut off as a green blur tackled him to the floor. The Beast stood above him and roared in his vulnerable face, spraying flecks of saliva onto his prey. The pure fury in the changeling startled the armored man and he frantically kicked, punched and slapped trying to separate himself from this monster to only be dragged back under him. The beast swiftly headbutted Adonis, and the man immediately stopped squirming due to the possible concussion he just received. The green brute cut through the chest of the titanium suit like it was nothing and ripped the scrawny man out of the suit.
The Two female titan's watched in horror as Beast threw the small, pathetic man around like a cat playing with a toy mouse.
"Beast Boy please stop!" Starfire screamed.
"He doesn't hear you, that's not beast boy," Raven said quietly.
It went quite as the best walked towards the bubble dragging the very injured man by his right leg. "Oh but Rae, it is me," Beast Boy said in a deep voice that scared even Raven. Before the girls could ask how Beast Boy lifted Adonis up and asked: "Why shouldn't I kill this pathetic whelp?"
"Because it is wrong," Raven said sadly while hugging herself.
"I'm sorry girl's but I can't let him just get away with this... this ends now" Beast boy said in a dark tone that no one had ever heard come from the usually cheerful changeling.
Beast Boy nodded and threw Adonis onto the sand behind him. He blocked the view of the girls, and slowly brought his foot up. Then he quickly brought it down onto Adonis's pelvis. The single stomp turned Adonis' manhood, and anything else in that area, into ground beef. Adonis screamed bloody murder until the moment he slowly bled out.
"Did BB just do what I think he did?" Brave gasped.
"Oh yes, he did." Rage shivered and purred "What an animal, I never knew he had it in him."
Raven shook her head and opened her eyes. She saw Adonis lying limply in the sand, his eyes still wide with terror even after death. She saw Starfire was on her knees, tears streaming down her eyes as she looked at where Beast Boy flew off to.
"Beast Boy... Why?" Starfire asked through sobs.
Raven never felt so... alone.
