This is a fanfic I've been working on since April and still haven't finised, yet, it came out quite well in my opinion.
So anyway ... After fighting the Brotherhood of Evil, the titans expirience a low crime rate acros the town, which is very suspicious to Robin who discovers that there is another individual who fights crime in his city. The titans dicover that this guy doesn't like takeing the spot light away from them and that he isn't so keane on talking to much. Even so he helps them in two critical conditions, and when he is injured the titans return the favour.
Things I promice: Romance, action, fighting, a bit of drama, a bit of spirituality, some angst etc etc. I'm trying to make it as diverse as posible so that all readers would like it. Also, I promice an OC that doesn't have more powers than Jesus, that isn't exagerated and that doesn't take the spot light or couples up with anyone of the titans! (I hate those fking Mary Sue OC's ... pardon the french).
A/N: I don't own Teen Titans (duh ... obviously), but I do own Rage, my OC.
That's about it, I don't want to spoil the story. So without further ado I give you:
What Do You Obtain Through Rage?
Chapter 1 - Insomnia (Prologue)
9:30 A.M., the tower was coming to life along with a new day. Things were going on rather smoothly, Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing video games as usual, teasing each other with every chance they had, Raven was standing in front of the window reading and looking outside from time to time like she was expecting something to happen, Starfire was preparing breakfast in the kitchen and already layed the table. Everyone followed their usual program, but something was not right, Robin was mising, and seeing how he is usualy the first that wakes up his absence baffled Starfire.
Robin entered the room looking exhaused and drowzy like he hasn't been sleeping for ages Seeing him like this, Starfire immediatly turned to him.
"Good morning Robin! Is something the matter?" the alien girls asked.
"Mornin' ... yawn ... I didn't sleep quite well" said Robin "I got only 7 hours of sleep these past few nights".
"More like these past weeks" exclaimed Raven.
Cyborg then turned to Robin. "You don't look so good man, you really should get some more rest".
"Thanks, I apreciate your concern but I'm fine, a cup of coffee is all I need and I'll be on my feet in no time" said Robin who was trying to fake the fact that he was alright.
"What have you been doing these last few nights anyway that you couldn't sleep?" asked Raven with a curious high interest ... and come to think about it, all the titans wanted to find out what Robin was doing staying up so late those past nights seeing how the criminal rate was lower in the last few months.
"Well, nothing important, I did a little research that's all, nothing major" Robin hesitated to answer.
"Come on dude!" said Beast Boy "You don't stay up all night researching stuff if it isn't something important, you know that! Come on, tell us what you've been up to".
The answer of the usualy hillarious and well disposed changeling surprised the others, but especially Robin.
Starfire aproached Robin placeing her hand on her team mates shoulder "Robin, are you sure you are alright? You do not look as good as you say you feel".
"Actualy, I do have a small migrane, I guess I could use an aspirine" said Robin in a not such lively manner.
Starfire levitated up in the air, she was eager to help her team mate, especialy a team mate who is particulary special to her
"I will get you that aspirine faster than you can say Snarfolw. Would you desire anything else that I may bring you?".
Robin looked at Starfire with deep emotion, however, he did not expres that feeling physicly.
"Don't wory, I'll get it my self, relax, I'm fine".
The titans were preaty concerned about Robin's hesitation to respond, it wasn't like him to keep things from his team mates, the last time he did so things turned out bad so they didn't want to risk again. Robin took out of a small box an aspirine pill for his headache, he didn't seem to be so troubled as they first thought, but non the less, they kept a steady look out for any unusual behaviour. Robin took a cup to fill it with water from the tap in the kitchen so that the pill will go down easyer, plus, he looked dehydrated, so a cup of coffee should come after a cup of water, but when he got to the sink he saw that it was full of dirty unwashed dishes that were staked one on top of another. In fact, the stack of filthy dishes was a little taller than he was.
"Uhmmm guys ... who's turn was it to do the dishes last night?" asked Robin calmly.
"Oops! sorry man, my mistake!" exclaimed Beast Boy who was still sitig on the couch playing the console with Cyborg, "I guess I forgot about them!".
Robin looked at Beast Boy angry and wanted to shout at him but didn't.
"You always forget Beast Boy" he said to him self, and went of to the fridge to get a bottle of water. He opened the fridge and reached in the back where he saw it but also noticed that the fridge was half filled with old and moldy food. He got the bottle and took the aspirine but said to himself "Hmmm ... somebody really should throw that out or else we'll get sick".
After that he looked around and also noticed that the main room was untidy. Popcorn litered the floor, the rented movies weren't placed where they should have been, empty soda cans and pizza boxes were every where. What a mess!
"Guys, have you ever noticed that this room looks almost everytime like a pig stike?" said Robin.
"Don't worry, we'll get it cleaned later" answered Cyborg.
"That's not what I'm talking about" said Robin "I mean we should all pay more attention with the place we live in, after all, the things that suround you also affect you in a way, I think we should all pay more atention to our discipline".
"WHATEVER!", Beast Boy and Cyborg said at the same time giving Robin no atention.
Raven was paying atention to the discusion but didn't intervine, she agreed with Robin but she knew that if she would say something then an argument would start.
Robin was annoyed and really wanted to shout at Beast Boy and Cyborg but before he even started he was interupted by Starfire.
"FRIENDS, the breakfast is served, I have made the pancakes with maplle sirup and mustard for you all".
Beast Boy and Cyborg paused the game jumped up and went to the table.
"All right, pancakes ... I really had an strange craving for some you know" yelled Beast Boy.
Raven and Robin also came to the table. They all sat down and ate with no interuptions and with non of Beast Boys jokes ... looks like he really liked those pancakes.
"Ahhh, that was delicious" exclaimed Cyborg "Next time I'll get more maplle sirup though".
"That was really great Starfire, you've out done your self" said Robin, makeing Starfire blush.
After a small pause of silence Raven looks at Robin and asks, "So anyway, you still haven't told us about what you've been doing these last nights, any chance you'll tell us?".
Everybody was paying atention to Robin to see how he reacts. They thought he'll be mad but he opened up to them, contrary to what they were expecting.
"You see, these last few weeks there have been a series of auto thefts, burgleries and other various crimes in the city of whom's criminals have been aprehended quikly" said Robin.
"So? ... maybe the Jump City police officers are just geting faster, eating less donuts and catching more bad guys, what's wrong with that?" asked Beast Boy with a smile on his face, " ... after all, it means that we have more spare time right ?".
"That's just it" said Robin " ... the police men weren't the ones that caught the bad guys. Victims and eye-witneses say that they saw someone catch the villains as they were leaving the scene and that the criminals would get their butts seriously kicked , after which the guy who caught them would be gone."
The titans were stunded by this information, they all exclaimed: "That's weird!", "Odd!", "Curious!".
Starfire then intervined, "But Robin, I thought we were the only crime fighters that protected the city".
"That's what we all thought Star, but it seems that we're not alone" said Robin who seemed somewhat enthusiastic about the fact that another crime fighter was present in the city.
"So does anybody know who this guy is? " asked Cyborg " ... or at least do they have a clue about how he looks or something? ".
Robin was kind of curious himself about that fact too.
"Unfortunetly for us, nobody could give a clear description of him, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens".
Just as Robin finished his last sentence, the alarm on his comunicator went off. He checked it to see what the problem was.
"Someone's robing the first national bank, Titans, move out! ".
