First, I would like to apologize to any and all readers who follow any of my stories. Life has decided to invade and story writing must be but on hold.

This idea has been around for a while and I finally decided to write it out.

All games, movies, props, mood rings, ice cream flavors, dance parties, insurance claims, socks, and general merchandise belong to their respective, perspective, acceptive, relative, quantitative, and qualitative owners of whom I do not know, own, clone, aquaint or socialize with. Thank you and have a nice day.

Oh, by the way. You get ten points and a cookie if you can guess what show I'm referencing in this chapter.

Chapter 1: Whats up with the bird?

Streams of color appeared on either side as Robin raced between cars, speeding to the center of town. He veered left as a minivan moved directly in front of him. He smiled inside his helmet. This was definitely one of the perks of being a super hero. On his right he noticed a fast moving object. He turned to see Cyborg expertly driving the T-car towards the new disturbance. He glanced above to see the remainder of his team flying high. Not to be outdone, he pulled a wheelie and sped onward.

He skidded to a halt outside of Jump city Bank where he knew something was up. It was probably the gaping hole in the wall that clued him in but police reports usually help too. Inside was a giant blue robot that had pictures of flames on its legs. Robin could hear the mad laughter of the villain who was robbing the bank... again... for the seventh time.

Control Freak sat in the cock pit of the large mecha, laughing at his newest caper. He figured, if you can't beat em' join em'. The mech was commonly used by the good guys so it was almost guaranteed to succeed... that is, if t.v. was anything to go by.

Boom Boom.

Control Freak looked to the side to see the five people he feared most lined up ready to beat him to a sniveling pulp. However, he had the upper hand in this fight.

"You can still surrender." Spoke the resident empath of the Teen Titans. Her face emotionless. "No my foes, it is you who will be surrendering. As I have the most advanced robot to have ever walked the earth, firmly in my control." He yelled as the robot raised to its feet and stood.

The Titans gawked for a moment at the size of the robot.

"Dudes, is that a car?" Beast Boy raised a green finger to gesture to the red convertible that sat where a head should be on the robots shoulders. Robin grimaced as he shouted the ever popular phrase "Titans GO!"

The Titans flew into action. Raven and Starfire both shot toward the sky aiming for the cockpit. The mech waved it's hands back and forth in an attempt to swat the two interloping teen heroes. Starfire dodged expertly around the hands and shot starbolt after starbolt at the blue robot. She gritted her teeth as she realized that the bolts were simply scoring the paint leaving little damage to the actual robot. Raven rose behind the extra large robot, chanting her mystical mantra.

"Azarath Metrion Zinth..." She nearly completed the mystical chant until the seemingly useless struts on either shoulder turned to fire red blinking missiles at her. As it was, she barely had time to put up a shield before the missiles made contact. She was sent sprawling, a plume of smoke marking her fall towards unforgiving concrete. She felt pressure in her shoulders before making contact with something, though, it wasn't as near as hard as she had thought it would be. She looked up in time to see Beast Boy change from a pterodactyl into his human form. She also noticed the almost imperceptible wince as he changed. Changing was never that hard for him before.

"Hey Rae, you alright?" Beast Boy asked in his usual way. Raven grimaced at the nickname that she had recently been bestowed.

"I'm doing fine. What about you?" She put a more pointed and questioning tone in her voice as she asked. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to pick up on it and dismissed it as pleasantry.

"Great except for the twenty story robot kickin' our butts." he said. Raven turned to see Cyborg trace a long line down the robots torso with his sonic cannon. Raven took off to join the fight Beast Boy, in the form of a hawk, was right behind her.

Robin flew off of a building, landing on one of the hands. He charged toward the cockpit, where Control Freak sat. A quick movement sent him flying, but he fired a grappling hook to a nearby building and swung down, landing next to Cyborg.

"Anything?" Robin asked. Not needing to ask anymore.

"Never seen anything like it. Most advanced stuff. Dudes packin' heavy. Only place to bring it down is that car on top. Looks like most of the circuitry is located in there." Cyborg said as he fired off another shot. Robin smiled at his friend. He had a plan.

Control Freak expertly drove the mech, dodging each and every attack. Too bad he hadn't had this idea when he first started off as a villain. He cranked it into third gear and drove it toward the alien girl and the dark creepy one. The mech leaped into the air, performing a pile driver that barely missed the two Titans, instead, demolishing a McBurger restaurant. He shifted into reverse and turned to see the Boy Wonder running across the rooftops. Quickly maneuvering the mech, he turned one large hand to swipe and the brightly colored hero. Robin flipped acrobatically over the hand. He couldn't stop his aerial descent and watched as the other hand came dangerously close.

A streak of blue passed by and the hand was knocked out of the way. Landing on the shoulder, he ran to the car door. He opened it intending to drag the poor nerd gone bad out of the mech and into a prison, however, he was met by a bright beam of light that was shot from the end of Control Freak's remote. He was propelled backward into one of the shoulder fenders and the metal crumpled under his impact. Before Control Freak even had time to realize that he had just shot Robin, he found that the car was encased in black energy and was slowly being crushed. Raven dropped the car. She had folded it around the nerdy villain to hold him nice and tight until the police arrived. His head poked out of the end comically.

Robin picked himself up, dusting none existent dust off of his traffic light colored costume.

"What was that?" He asked as he looked himself over to find what exactly had happened.

"Not sure man. I'll do a quick scan just to be safe." Cyborg replied, his bionic eye changing lenses. A scanner appeared from Cyborg's shoulder and scanned Robin from head to toe. After a minute or two, Cyborg stopped.

"Well man, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe Control Freak's remote ran out of batteries or something." Robin's look soured at this, but his tone remained even, though, thoughtful. "Yeah... maybe." was his only reply.

The ride back to the Tower was quiet. The Titans had received the distress call at 10:00 and had been battling for a solid hour and a half. It would be midnight by the time they returned home and each Titan knew that as luck went, they would probably have to save the city again in less than a few hours.

The elevator doors opened with a whoosh. Beast Boy pushed his way out, stretching his arms as he yawned loudly.

"Alright dudes. I'm hittin' the hay." He said, already halfway to his room.

"Ditto" was the blank reply from Raven as she couldn't even muster the strength to teleport to her room.

"I too require the slumber of beauty." was Starfire's tired reply as she floated toward her waiting bedroom. Cyborg and Robin were left standing in the common room. As Cyborg walked toward the door, he turned to the team leader. "You sure you're alright Rob? Control Freak looked like he left his mark."

Robin smiled at the gesture. "I'll be fine. A little sore, but, that's just what you get for being a superhero." Cyborg thought for a moment before looking satisfied. He stretched his great mechanical arms and yawned louder than Robin had ever heard. "Well, time to turn in." He said as he moved through the pneumatic door. Robin was left in the common room. His smile faded. He still didn't feel quite right, and while he trusted Cyborg with his life, you just had to know some things for certain. He slowly made his way to the elevator and went up a few floors, before traversing the halls toward the med bay. He moved to the large machine. He typed in the computer to do a complete scan for anything and everything. After what seemed like an eternity, the machine dinged. As he read, Robin's eyes widened behind his mask. The paper slipped from his hand but he barely noticed. Robin was changing, and he didn't like it one bit.

Well... well?...

What do you think? I'm not a mind reader so you must tell me through the power of review. Plus, doesn't reviewing just bring a smile to your face.
