The Captain: Ok, well out the woodwork I am! Great, isn't it? In any case, now that I'm out and about once again with the whole writing and being able to upload and all that good stuff, I can get back on track. This here is my 3rd story. Figured I'd just do one of possibly my favorite TV show that isn't officially anime. In any case, I hope you all enjoy this, as it's a Starfire and OC fic, which may sound weird, but I don't like Robin. He's cool, but I don't like him anyways. Rawr! Oh, the titles also work in progress...it'll work alright for now though. There will be some spelling problems for the moment. The spell check engine I'm using is dumb, and I'm getting some new software tomorrow for my computer, so when I get it installed, I'm gonna run this through immediately because I'm not a terrible speller, but I'm not great either.
Legal Tander: I don't own the Teen Titans or anything in or pertaining to the show. I do however own the fic, kinda. I also hold rights to the characters in which I create which I would really appreciate not being taken and used. Blah.
Shadow Requiem
'BOOM!'
That was the sound of the wall to local bank exploding outwards. A trio of criminals armed with strange weaponry burst out of the newly created opening with large sacks of money slung over their shoulders. There was an armored car waiting outside for them with it's doors open. The three men jumped inside and the driver floored it as they closed the doors. They sped down the street, ignoring all traffic and pedestrians in their way, causing cars to swerve off the road and people to jump out of the way for sake of their own lives.
Robber: " Hey guys! We did it! Biggest hiest this city's ever had! Hell, with these things, even the Titans don't stand a chance."
As if by some strange force or law of nature, at the mention of their name, they had appeared. Robin swept in from overhead with his grappling hook, landing on the hood of the car and held on tightly using his birdarangs as anchors. The driver swerved around to try and throw Robin off, but to no avail. In the mean time, Cyborg ran out into the road and took a forward defensive stance. The armored vehicle smashed right into Cyborg, who extended both of his arms and put his body into pushing the vehicle to a stop.
Starfire flew up from behind and threw out a couple of Star bolts into the door, blasting it to pieces and exposing the robbers inside. They fired a few shots right back at her, but a large black wall of energy of sorts appeared infront of Starfire, protecting her. She looked over to see Raven flying not to far from her, her eyes lit up a pale white as she was casting her magic.
From the rear, Beastboy came running along as a cheetah, making his way to the edge of the car while dodging shots from the robbers inside. Starfire threw a couple more bolts at their guns, missing only a few degrees and hitting the car and causing it to shake, throwing the men off their feet. Beastboy jumped up into the car and changed to a gorilla, reaching over and grabbing one of the men and threw him into another as they were getting up. He charged the third one and headbutt him, knocking him against the back panel where the driver was sitting. The driver noticing this, immediately jumped out of the door and made a run for it. However, a well placed bolas throw brought the man down quickly.
Beastboy, Raven, and Starfire grabbed the 3 men in the back, while Robin grabbed the guy whom he caught on the road and dragged them off the the side. Cyborg pushed the car aside and off the road so traffic could resume. They brought the 4 men together and began an immediate questioning.
Robin: " Where did you get those weapons?"
Robber: " I'll never tell!"
Robin: " Wanna bet?"
Cyborg walked over and made took a rock off the ground, then crushed it in his huge metallic fist.
Robin: " You gonna talk now?"
Robber: " Hah! I call your bluff. Either way, it'd be much better than what would happen to me if I did!"
Robin: " What...your dealer would get angry and come after you?"
Robber: " I ain't sayin' nothin'."
Starfire: " Please, you need to tell us. We...we will protect you!"
He spat at her feet and sneered.
Robber: " Hah! Whatever."
Her smile turned to a frown and she stepped back to let Robin and Cyborg continue their questioning. Raven contacted the local authorities and Beastboy began a little show off session for a small crowd gathered near. She was a little disappointed that no matter how nice she is to criminals, they're always rude to her. She sighed, then looked to a small back ally that was amazingly dark. There, she saw two sets of eyes. But one of the sets only had one eye. They were staring right at the Titans. The first set was two fairly normal looking eyes, but the second person...that single eye...it bothered her. Infact, it bothered her enough to cause her some concern. She took off and flew towards the ally. The pair of eyes faded quickly as she approached, using her powers to light the area. She saw nothing though. She shook her head and dismissed the idea, flying back to watch the robbers get hauled off in police cars.
Robin: " Well team, that was a great job. Who want's some Pizza?"
Beastboy: " I'll go for that. And since I'm pretty much the guy who did all the fighting and hard work, I say we get it with tofu!"
Cyborg: " How many times do we have to go through with this? We're not getting any tofu on our pizza!"
Beastboy: " Dude, you know I'm a vegetarian!"
Raven sighed as they started walking towards the Pizza place.
Raven: " This is utterly pointless. We might as well just order a seperate pizza for the both of them."
Robin: " That's true. How about it Star, what do you want on your pizza?"
Starfire: " Let us see...how about anchovies, pineapple, and the mustard!"
Raven: " Starfire...that's gross."
Robin: " Ok..."
As they walked, Starfire continued to list the ingredients of what she believed might be the perfect slice while Beast Boy and Cyborg continued their never ending arguement over which was better, pepperoni or tofu. Shortly thereafter, the team had arrived at their destination and found a place to sit. The waitress came over to where they were sitting, which caused Beastboy to turn on his charm.
Beastboy: " Hey there Angie...what's up?"
Angie: " Hey Beastboy, not much around here. Come to get your pizza fix?"
Beastboy: " Don't you know it. Well, it seems that we're gonna get that tofu and greens..."
Cyborg: " OH NO WE'RE NOT! Hey there Angie, we'll be getting double pep and cheese girl."
Beastboy: " WHATEVER!"
The pair continued their argument and she walked over to Starfire.
Angie: " Hi Starfire, what would you like on your pizza today?"
Starfire: " This is the first time you've ever asked me! I would like cheese, pepperoni, anchoivies, pineapple, mustard, ketchup...."
She just continued the list for another few minutes while Robin, Raven and Angie had given a strange look to her. She blushed seeing this.
Angie: " Wow Starfire, you're missing the kitchen sink on that one."
Starfire: " I was always told that you cannot eat the kitchen sink, so how can it go on the pizza?"
Robin: " It's a joke Starfire."
She blushed more and laughed.
Starfire: " Oh, I see!"
Angie turned to Robin.
Angie: " So what'll it be?"
Robin: " Well, whatever the team wants...we'll get it figured here shortly."
Angie: " I see. Raven..."
Raven: " Just get us the Titans Pizza, like we always do. By the time we decided on anything particular, we'll all be over the hill. So that will do, like always."
Angie: " Thought so. Alrighty, we'll have it out here as soon as we can."
She walked off to go fill the order leaving the others.
Raven: " I ordered for us. Now stop your pointless arguing."
Cyborg: " It better have pepperoni!"
Beastboy: " It'd better not!"
Robin: " Hey you guys...cool it. I know we've been a little on end, but we need to relax."
Starfire: " Yes, let us take a time out and enjoy the company of each other! I wish to initiate a group hug again!"
Once again, she got the blank looks from all of them. They must not want to hug.
Starfire: " Oh, ok then. We'll do it on a later occasion."
Angie came back with some drinks for the rest of them, an herbal tea and 4 soda's.
Angie: " The pizza's almost ready guys."
Beastboy: " Well then, we'll be right here waiting for you."
She laughed, then walked off giving them a little wave.
Raven: " You know...you could lay off a bit on the flirt routine. I still want to keep my pizza down when I eat it."
Beastboy: " Oh I see. You want a little attention from me too? Well I can see that. Was it my incredible good looks, or just my charm?"
He began to reach his arm around her when a black forcefield popped up around her preventing him from touching her. He laughed and withdrew his arm.
Raven: " Whatever..."
Robin: " In any case, we need some time to relax. There's been so many robberies, thefts, and other crimes, we haven't had a lot of rest. I mean, how many did we break up and foil yesterday?"
Cyborg: " Well, there were the hijackers, the 3 bank robberies, the jail break, the fire...atleast 6 yesterday. And then there were all the other days before that. Crime's been up this last month. I'd just like some time to take a break."
Robin: " I hear ya."
Beastboy: " It is strange, you know? And a lot of them had those guns like the ones earlier today. It doesn't really add up. Who is giving these things out? Seems everyone we've picked up is just some average joe. Like they could have just afforded those, even with some kind of discount arms dealer..."
Starfire: " Perhaps we ought to do an investigation?
Robin: " We should...but we'll probably be too busy with all of these robberies. I mean, they're springing up everywhere. Each is across the city from each other, so we have to hustle it from here to there, and then back again for another crime it seems. At this rate, we'll be wearing ourselves thin and we're not going to be able to handle a major threat if we're all exhausted from all the running around."
Beastboy: " So what about splitting up then?"
Robin: " I don't know. I mean, what if it's too much for one person?"
Cyborg: " How's that? Let's take a robbery. Guy's got some guns right? Well, I can shoot them down faster than they can me. They won't touch Raven with her magic, BB can be any kind of animal, so he could just be too small to hit, and you and Star could just avoid their shots. I think it's a decent idea."
Robin: " You're probably right. Anyone got a map?"
Cyborg: " I'm a walking atlas of the world Robin. If we wanted to disperse ourselves evenly, then someone will go to City Hall, someone to the dock 22 warehouse on the east side, someone to the sushi bar on 23rd, someone right around here, and someone around the Tower area. That way, we'll be dispersed around the city in that we can pretty much have someone at any crime scene."
Raven: " That's not a bad way to do it. I'll head for the sushi bar area then."
Cyborg: " I'll stay here and keep an eye out."
Starfire: " Then may I have the dock area please?"
Robin: " Alright, and I'll stay by the tower, and Beastboy, that leaves you with City hall."
Beastboy: " City hall? That's a boring!"
Robin: " Well, there's no time to worry about it now, just look!"
Angie was comming out with their pizza when something started buzzing on his belt. A miniture radar told him there was trouble on the west side of town.
Robin: " That's you Beastboy! Everyone else, better start going for your spots too. Once he's done there, something else will probably spring up."
Team: " Right!"
The the 5 disbanded to head to their locations. Beast Boy, of course, changed into a gorilla and ate the pizza in one bite before heading out, thanking Angie.
Legal Tander: I don't own the Teen Titans or anything in or pertaining to the show. I do however own the fic, kinda. I also hold rights to the characters in which I create which I would really appreciate not being taken and used. Blah.
