I don't own Teen Titans in any way shape or form.
Chapter 1: Judas
It was early. None of the others were even up yet. Robin was all alone on the top floor of the tower. For some reason he couldn't sleep. This wasn't the first time he had a sleepless night. These past couple nights he just couldn't sleep. A gut feeling was telling him that something wasn't right. Then again he was always like this. Robin had always been the most devoted of the group. He fought the villains without question. Most of the time he would spend hours on end into the night, thinking of strategies that would benefit the team in their efforts. This also helped him make enemies very easily.
The automatic doors swung open as Robin walked into the common room. He looked out the mass window viewing the bay. This usually relaxed him. The beautiful view of the ocean, the inspiring sight of the city, and the waves crashing upon the beach must've given him the impression that he was making a difference. He glanced at the clock. 5:45 AM. He only had twenty more minutes of solitude before any of the others were up.
Robin left his spot away from the window and ventured towards the fridge. He opened it and glanced inside. Moldy tofu, chicken, and other foods plagued the fridge. "God isn't there anything to eat?" he asked himself. He shut the fridge and walked over to the pantry. Guess I'll just have cereal. Robin poured a bowl and sat down at the table with the newspaper in front of him. He skimmed through the articles, hoping to find one about the team foiling a plot by some maniac. Nothing. Robin wasn't surprised however; there hadn't been much crime in the city lately. They must've wiped out most of the major criminals that the police couldn't handle. Robin closed the newspaper and threw it in the recycle bin. None of the others read the paper anyway. Not even Raven.
Robin plopped on the couch and turned on the TV. He let out a long yawn. Nothing was on this early. So Robin flipped through the channels really fast. He heard the automatic doors open behind him. He turned around to see Raven walking in. "Morning." He said which made Raven jump a little. "Morning." She droned back. Raven was usually up this early every day. The others didn't know why. Maybe something was troubling her, maybe not. The others really tried to stay out of her business and let her do her thing. She walked towards the stove and fired up the burners. Robin got off the couch and walked towards the door. "I'm gonna take a shower. Raven could you make sure the others don't kill each other?"
"I'll try." She said not even turning around.
Robin left the common room and walked down the hallway. He passed his own room, then Terra's room. Terra had been a Titan for only a few weeks. She had gotten comfortable pretty fast despite coming and going the other time. She had made a good addition to the team. Some villains were easier to take down now that they had one more person. But she was still another person under this roof. It was hard enough living with the other four. They may have to make a bigger tower at this rate.
He turned the corner and walked into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror. He looked like a train wreck. His hair was messed up more than usual, there were dark circles under his eyes, and he looked a little pale. I guess these sleepless nights have really gotten to me. he thought. He had a splitting headache. He opened the medicine cabinet and took an Ibuprofen. He then fired up the shower and hopped in.
Beast Boy walked into the common room yawning. He saw Cyborg and Robin playing videogames while Starfire watched. He glanced over to see Raven as usual reading some weird book that nobody understood. "Hey guys what's up?" he said in his usual voice. "Hey Beast Boy." Robin said. "You're up pretty late." Cyborg said. "Oh come on its not that late." Beast Boy said. "Beast Boy, it's twelve-thirty." Raven said not looking up from her book. "Oh. Anyway where's Terra?" he asked. "I think she's in the weight room training." Robin said. "Oh ok." Beast Boy said. He turned and walked towards the door. "Beast Boy, are you not going to eat anything?" asked Starfire concerned. "No I'm fine." He said as he walked out the door.
Beast Boy walked down the hall to the weight room. "Yah! Yah!" he could hear Terra training already. Though it sounded like she was using the punching bag. He walked into the weight room to see Terra in the corner using the punching bag. "Hey Terra." Beast Boy said blushing a little. Terra stopped to catch her breath. "Hey Beast Boy. Whats up?" "Nothing much." He said. "Why are you using the punching bag? It's not like you're gonna have to deal with hand to hand combat." "You never know when you might need it." She said. "Besides, there's not always gonna be rocks to hurl or something." "Yeah I guess you're right." He said a little embarrassed. They were quiet for a moment until Beast Boy broke the silence. "Hey how much do you think I can bench?" he asked. "Beast Boy c'mon, you can turn into a damn gorilla. You could bench me if you wanted to." She said. That's not a bad idea. He thought. "Anyway, I'm gonna go get something to eat." She said. "Ok, I'll join you in a….few….minutes." He stammered out. He couldn't help it, he was in a trance. He couldn't stop looking at her. She's so beautiful. "You ok?" she asked him. "Uh….yea..yea. I'm fine." He said breaking the trance. Terra walked out of the room leaving Beast Boy there alone in the middle of the room. C'mon Beast Boy. You gotta make your move. If you don't someone else will. But what if she says no? She isn't gonna say no. You're a stud with the ladies. He usually had internal conflicts within himself about stuff like this. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the alarm.
Beast Boy ran into the common room. "Whats going on?" he asked. "Its Slade." Robin said. "He's at the Iroqouis Dam. Looks like he's trying to destroy it and flood the south side of town." "Let's roll." Cyborg said. They all left the tower. Robin on his motorcycle, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Terra flying, and Cyborg and Raven in the T Car. Robin turned on his communicator. "I'll approach from the south. Starfire, you Beast Boy and Terra approach from the west. While Raven and Cyborg approach from the east. Then we'll have him surrounded." Robin continued his route next to the T Car. However once they reached the fork they separated. Starfire, BB, and Terra would most likely arrive first since they were flying. Then probably Cyborg and Raven, then he would most likely arrive last.
Starfire, BB, and Terra arrived at the damn. There were many of Slade's robot commandos guarding the outside to it. BB immediately turned into a gorilla and started throwing them left and right. Starfire shot starbolts at a group of them causing them to fly in different directions. Meanwhile Terra was throwing boulder after boulder at the small groups. "There's still some more of them out here. Starfire, you and BB go inside and get Slade. I'll meet the others out here." Starfire and BB nodded and entered the interior of the dam. More commandos appeared from the sides of the dam. Terra concentrated and lifted a huge slab from the ground. She hurled it towards the commandos as they were destroyed on impact.
About two minutes later the T Car pulled up at the top of the dam. Raven and Cyborg got out. "Terra, where are the others?" asked Cyborg. "There were strong winds, I got separated from BB and Star. I told them to meet me here." She said. "Do you know where Slade could be?" asked Raven. "I think he might be in the interior." She said. "You gonna be ok out here by yourself?" asked Cyborg. More commandos appeared from one of the entrances. Terra quickly threw a barrage of small rocks at them knocking them apart. "I think I'll manage." She said. Raven and Cyborg entered the dam.
Star and BB were outnumbered inside. There were about thirty of them just in that one room. They all had upgrades on weapons. They all had they're usual laser guns. But now they had sword-like daggers in the other hand. BB turned into a tiger and slashed a few of them with his claws. While Starfire made an attack from above. BB turned back into a human. "Bring it on you bastards!" he said. The commandos drew their blades and charged. BB was obviously out numbered and he knew it. "Oh shit." He said. He turned into a rhino and charged them. He knocked about half of them down, but more jumped on his back. He fell down to the ground and turned back to human form. One of the commandos sliced Beast Boy's back. "Ughh…" he said as blood was spilled on the floor. Just then a starbolt blew the commandos away. Starfire flew down to Beast Boy. "Beast Boy are you injured? gasp You're bleeding!" "I'll be fine." He said. Raven and Cyborg came down the stairs. "Oh so you guys did make it." Cyborg said. "What are you talking about?" asked Beast Boy. "Terra said that she got separated from the two of you." Said Raven. "No we did not get separated." Starfire said. Just then the lights went off.
Robin arrived about a minute after Cyborg and Raven did. He had gotten stuck in traffic on the way over. "Goddamn traffic." He said to himself. He stopped the motorcycle and got off. He could see Terra near the T Car. "Terra!" he yelled. He ran over to her. "Where are the others?" he asked. "They're inside the dam." She said to him. "Well lets go." He said. He ran to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. "Piece of shit door. It won't open!" he said kicking it. "That won't do a thing." Terra said. "Its an airtight door. The air pressure inside keeps it closed. I would know because I closed it." She said. "Then that means-." Robin started to say. But he was interrupted by a huge rock hitting him in the back of the head. He flew like a rag doll in the air and about twenty feet away from the T Car. He tried to get up, but the ground he was on was being lifted in the air. "Terra! What the fuck are you doing?!" he yelled. But he already knew. Her true loyalties were with Slade. She had played them. She tricked them into being her friend. She was never a friend to them. It was all an act. The rock he was on was thrown off the dam. Robin jumped off and grabbed onto the edge. He pulled himself up and charged at Terra. He grabbed her arms so she couldn't move the earth, but she quickly kicked him in the torso and pushed him away. "So, that's why you were practicing. I see Slade has a new apprentice." He said getting up. "The problem you had when you were his apprentice was that you didn't respect him. You never showed him your gratitude. All you cared about were the Titans, and that was your downfall." She said. "I didn't choose to be his apprentice, he forced-." Robin felt another blow to the torso. He retaliated by tripping her.
They both got up and charged each other. Terra was trying to punch his face, but Robin was more skilled at the martial arts than she was. He blocked her punches with ease. It was her power that worried him the most. Robin grabbed her arms and threw her over the side of the dam. A few seconds later she came up on top of a rock with other rocks hovering around her as if she were a nucleus, and the rocks were electrons. (knowledge is power) Robin pulled out his metal staff and got ready. The rocks shot at him like they were bullets. Robin hit a few with his staff, but after two the staff broke. The other three hit him. Two in the face, and one in the stomach. Terra lifted the ground he was on. "I'm just gonna finish you right here and now!" she said. She threw the rock he was on into the canyon wall causing an avalanche to fall on Robin. "Excellent Terra." Said a voice behind her. "Now that the leader is out of the way, the others will fall like dominoes."
Well that's chapter one you guys. Please R & R!
Judas was the name of the apostle that betrayed Jesus. He told the Romans where he was and had him killed. (Though I'm not sure that is accurate)
