BB's Joke

"Beast Boy!"

Robin came running out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. The water was dripping from him.

"Beast Boy! I'm going to kill you!"

Cyborg, who sat in the sofa and saw TV, turned around as Robin came running into the living room and looked at him. He began to laugh, which made Robin stop up like he just had remembered the embarrassing about the situation. Just in the same moment came Starfire and Raven into the room. Starfire tried to hide her smile, but in the end she had to laugh out high. Even Raven had to smile.

Robin walked out of the room with an offended look on his face. He had for a moment forgot all about Beast Boy.

Rave sat down in the sofa next to Cyborg, who almost had come over his fit of laughter.

"Beast Boy?"

Cyborg nodded.

"I think so, but you have to agree that it looked cool."

"Orange hair!"

This time not even Raven could control herself enough to not laugh out high. The whole situation had been so hilarious.

The alarm went off.

Beast Boy, who had been wisely enough to hide himself under Robin's fit, came into the room.

"Who's the best?"

He began to dance around

"Me!"

Robin, who now was dressed, but still with orange hair, came into the room. As he saw Beast Boy the anger grew in him, and he would attack him if it not had been for Cyborg, who stood in the way.

"Titans go!"

An army of robots had hijacked some busses on the city's bridge. They demanded that their leader, who the Titans had caught some weeks before, should be released. The Titans throw themselves into the battle; even though it seemed like every time that they defeated one robot a dozen new ones replace it.

Robin ducked down and few seconds later a red laser beam cut the air where his head would have been. He hit out after the robot, which then smashed up against the pier and broke into thousand of pieces. He was about to throw himself into the battle again, when he heard the scream. With he eyes he followed it and saw a group of the robots, which had begun to push one of the busses over to the edge of the bridge. Without thinking he ran over to them.

Starfire, who had been fighting next to him, saw it and was about go after him, when a group of robots blocked the way. She fired out at them and they sank to the ground. It only gave her a few seconds to look around after the others before the next row of robots throw themselves at her. Cyborg was fighting in the other end of the bridge together with Beast Boy, who as she look at him turned from a gorilla to a rhino. Behind her she hear could Raven conjure.

Her eyes landed on Robin, who had reached the bus and was fighting the robots around it. Then she saw it. She cried out after him, but it was too late. A laser beam hit him in the back and he fell out over the edge of the bridge on down in the rough water.

With a scream she throw herself against the robots. She couldn't think. With a supernatural strength did she fight the robots one by one, and soon the Titans stood alone on the bridge. Beast Boy, who also had seen Robin's fall, ran over to the edge of the bridge and jumped in the water as he turned into a shark.

The rest of the Titans ran over to where Robin had fell down. There was nothing to see except from the dark water.
