Heyo! New story for you guys! Obviously, I don't own these characters but the story is all my own. Enjoy!
"Titans! Go!" Robin yelled as he ran down the main street of Jump City. His team sprang to action around him. They were after the usual enemy, the H.I.V.E Five. Jinx, Mammoth, Gizmo, and See-More, were around the team's age and just as good fighters. Annoying as they were, Robin had to give them props, they always put up a good fight (though he would never admit that). Robin ran after Gizmo; the pint-sized techie was scuttling across the street carrying something that looked suspiciously like a bomb. Robin pulled one of his explosives out of his utility belt and chucked it at Gizmo, hoping to stop him in his tacks. Instead Gizmo, with the press of a few buttons, threw up a shield and blocked the explosive. It fell in the street and went off, creating a huge crater. "Damn," Robin said to himself, still chasing the kid genius. He looked to his left and saw his teammate Starfire deep in combat with Jinx, the leader of H.I.V.E Five. Starfire was hurling green energy from her fists as Jinx dodged left and right. With a flick of her hand, Jinx sent a purple streak at the giant Pizza Place sign hanging above Star's floating body. Robin knew immediately what would happen, Jinx was known for her ability to bring bad luck to anyone she wanted. "Starfire! Move! Now!" Robin called. Starfire zigged right just in time, the giant pizza fell to the ground with a crash about an inch away from her.
"Thanks, friend Robin!" Starfire yelled before hurling more green energy towards Jinx. Robin turned back to Gizmo but he was gone. He looked frantically around, but there was no sign of the little creature.
"They're headed to the art museum," a voice droned from behind Robin. He whipped around and saw Raven floating on a black disk above him. "Come on." She gestured towards the disk and Robin hopped on. It was times like these he wished he could fly. Soon the rest of the team were by their sides. Beast Boy was flying beside them as a green bird, and Starfire was carrying Cyborg by the arms. They quickly landed in front of the art museum, Raven sent a blast of energy knocking the doors off of their hinges.
"Titans! Get in there and stop them!" Robin yelled as he ran through the door. The team took note of their surroundings, and split up to search for Jinx and her gang.
Starfire found them first, she turned a corner in the next room. See-More was standing in front of a large glass case, with a very expensive and huge red jewel inside, he was staring into the case adjusting his eye piece.
"Hurry up will you! We don't exactly have all day. The titans will be here any minute and I don't feel like kicking their asses again." Jinx snarled from her position across the room. Starfire pressed her back up against the entryway to the room, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
"Yeah! Those crud-munchers are always meddling where they don't belong!" Another voice added, Star knew it was Gizmo.
"I'm doing the best I can." See-More chimed. "I've almost got it open." With that there was a large clicking noise and then the sound of breaking glass. "See-More must have figured out how to break the glass without the alarm sounding," Star said under her breath
"Let me at it!" Gizmo cried, Star could hear him scuttling across the room, she assumed he was going for the Jewel.
"No way! I'm the leader, which means I get to take it first." Jinx replied.
"Pie-for-brains! You wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for me."
"Fine. Do you want the jewel? Go ahead and take it."
"That's what I thought." Gizmo made a move to grab the jewel but Jinx sent a purple hex his way and he tripped over his own feet. Starfire saw this as the perfect opportunity, and stormed into the room. She beamed her green laser vison at Jinx, who was too busy laughing at Gizmo to realize what was going on, and sent her flying backwards and crashing through the window behind her. Star made to fly after her, but was grabbed out of the air by two giant hands. Mammoth had her trapped in his embrace. He was just as strong as she was, and the alien could not escape his grasp. Suddenly her vision was blinded by an electric blue light and she heard a sonic energy near her left ear. Mammoth was shot back, releasing her in the process. Cyborg went after him, jumping through the air and coming down hard with his elbow. Star made a mental note to thank him later. The rest of the H.I.V.E scrambled to get away from the Teen Titans, who had all entered the room at this point. Beast Boy turned into a large rhino and charged towards Gizmo, scooping him up and tossing him out the window as well. Robin was going face to face (or eye really) with See-More, and he quickly overpowered him, tying his limbs together with wire. Mammoth soon joined See-More, tied up against the wall of the art museum. Robin pressed his communicator and called the police over, before jumping out the window. He landed on the sidewalk, and saw that Star and Raven had collected and dispatched Gizmo and Jinx. He looked around the street. Gizmo and Jinx had obviously not gone down without a fight, as main street was completely destroyed. Electrical wires hung down from traffic lights, and there were huge holes in the street and most of the buildings. He knew he was going to have to explain that to the mayor somehow, and the citizens certainly wouldn't like the process of putting it back together.
The police finally arrived, looking very displeased that they had to take multiple detours due to the wreckage. They took the H.I.V.E Five away in their police van and the Titans began walking down the street.
"We destroyed the city again." Raven said, although her voice didn't convey whether she cared or not.
"Well the mayor will just have to understand. Fighting crime isn't a clean business." Robin replied.
"Yeah! Plus, we saved the crown jewel of Wingathium! He can't be too mad about that!" Beast Boy added with his usual grin. Robin nodded, but couldn't help feeling like he was forgetting about something, he tried to shrug it off and keep walking.
Suddenly there was a loud boom and the titans were thrown forward into the street. When Robin got his bearings again he staggered to his feet. His vision was clouded by dust and he smelled smoke. He peered through the fog and saw that the art museum was on fire. The sound of sirens filled the air.
"Gizmo's bomb!" Robin yelled. He had completely forgotten that he saw Gizmo with a bomb earlier in the fight. "He must have set it off while he was in the police van!"
"What bomb?" Star asked.
"Gizmo's bomb! I saw him with a bomb but I forgot about it! I didn't think he was going to set it in the art museum." Robin ran his hands furiously through his hair. He couldn't believe himself. Firefighters and fire trucks filled the streets as they attempted to put out the fire, the glared at the titans not letting them anywhere near.
"There's nothing we can do now. Let's just go home." Cyborg said, placing a hand on his leader's shoulder. Robin nodded with determination. The team trudged home in silence, they didn't even stop for pizza.
"This just in, millions of dollars' worth of art has been destroyed today, as a bomb went off in Jump City's Art Museum. Not only this, but the damages done to the city by the Teen Titans won't be fixed anytime soon. In the mean time, try and stay clear of main street. Multiple businesses are out of commission for the next few weeks as repairs begin…."
The news was playing in the background, and the announcers certainly didn't seem too pleased with the titans.
"Oh man! We took the Pizza Place down! How are we supposed to eat!" Beast Boy groaned from the couch.
"I could cook some traditional dishes from my home planet. Really they are very yummy and…" Star was cut off by multiple members of the teaming yelling no. The last thing they wanted to do was eat some of Star's traditional cooking.
Suddenly a ringing started from the kitchen counter. The team whipped around to the source of the noise. Robin's cellphone was sitting on the counter, but there was only one person who ever called that cell phone.
"Maybe he just wants to chat." Beast Boy gulped.
"Yes! He just wants to check in and see how friend Robin is doing." Star said, looking equally as frightened as Beast Boy.
"Yeah…I'm sure it's not a big deal. Probably a dinner party or something." Cyborg said reassuringly.
"Or he's calling to yell at you for destroying the city again." Raven remarked dryly, her nose in a book.
Robin shot her a look then said, "Thanks team, I'm just gonna take this in the other room." He picked up the phone and exited the common room. "Hello." He said into the receiver once he was out of earshot.
"Dick, how many times are you going to make me do this?" The voice on the other end said smoothly. It was Bruce Wayne, the multimillionaire from Gotham City, who also just happened to be Batman. Bruce was basically Robin's adoptive father, and Robin always dreaded his phone calls. He wanted to be independent and lead his own team, not have Bruce treat him like a kid and breath down his shoulder the whole time. "You know what I'm talking about don't you." Bruce said. His voice was so calm, it made Robin annoyed. He wished Bruce would just call and yell so it would be done with, better yet he wished he wouldn't call at all.
"Yes." Robin said shortly.
"I got another call from him. It seems you and your friends have been causing a bit of trouble again." Bruce was purposefully trying to be cryptic in case anyone was listening in.
"I guess." Robin replied.
"It seems, you caused some damage to the city…again."
Robin didn't reply. "This is the 5th time this week that I've gotten this call." Bruce seemed like he was losing his temper.
"Look, it won't happen again okay. We got in a fight with some school kids and maybe broke some stuff." Robin was getting heated too.
"Well, I have decided to send you and your friends to a special school." Bruce was choosing his words carefully now.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes. A school for people like you and your friends."
"No. No way are we going to some stupid school. We know how to deal with this ourselves!" Robin was really getting mad now.
"You need to go to this school to learn some basics again. Look, it probably won't be very long and you won't be the only kids there."
"That's not happening! Sorry but I think the team and I are just fine by ourselves. We don't need a school to teach us anything!" Robin was yelling now.
"Look Robin. This isn't my decision okay! The Justice League all agreed, it's time you and some of the other people your age learn how to properly take care of your city. This isn't your choice, its already done. The school is ready." Bruce had broken character and was talking low into the phone. Robin was shocked to hear him use such explicit terms, usually he was very coded. After a bit more back and forth Robin surrendered and hung up the phone. He felt like the Justice League was being rather hypocritical. How many times had they destroyed their own cities and even the world? He shuffled back into the common room to break the news to his team.
"School! This sounds fun! I have never been to a school before." Star was dancing around the room excitingly.
"Yay." Raven said unenthusiastically.
Then it was settled. The Titans packed up their belongings and closed up the tower.
"He said it wouldn't be for that long" Robin through his communicator. He was on his motorcycle and the rest of the team was in Cyborg's car. He looked back the T shaped tower he had called home, and wondered when he was going to see it again, then sped off in the direction of the school.
