Teen Titans Evolution
I don't own the Teen Titans, X Men or any other the charaters in this story. Teen Titans and related characters are owned by DC Comics, X Men and all related characters are owned by Marvel Comics. Please don't sue me...I have nothing you'd like. Enjoy this story, I have been thinking of it for a long time and finally got the chance to write it. This has nothing to do with the mani storyline of either shows and is completely from my mind...that's why it is so messed up lol
Chapter 1
It was a typical day for Jump City's greatest teen heroes, the Teen Titans. There had been no crimes happening for several days and they were all bored to tears. Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing video games...and BB was losing as usual. Starfire, with Silkie sleeping in a bed on the floor, had discovered the joy of nail polish, much to the annoy of Raven, Star's test subject for colors. Terra(1) was listening to her music and bobbing her head to the beat. And Robin was reading the lastest on new Martial Arts styles and writing an email to his mentor in Gotham.
"Ah, man," BB exclaimed as Cy beat him yet again in Ridge Racer 4. "I know you cheated somehow, Cy. No way I could lose that time."
"Face it, short, green and all thumbs. You cannot beat..." Cy sttod and put one foot on the table, striking a pose, "The Greatest Gamer EVER! BOOYA!!"
Raven rose an eyebrow and looked at Cyborg standing triuphment over his fallen oppentent. Really fallen, laying on the floor, oversized tears running down his face. She then looked at her hand in Star's own and a vein alomst popped in her forehead. "Bright...pink...nail polish," she said, holding in her outrage at the color. The Tammerranian girl smiled broadly at Rae
"Yes, is it not the most happy of the colors? I have many bottles of it in my room. I also have the orange and the yellow to paint your other hand nails. I shall fetch them." The girl shot up and flew out of the room toward her room. Raven sighed and looked at her nails.
"Great...I'm going to have multi-color fingers. Where is that nail polish remover?" Terra looked at Rae and giggled.
"Raven, your the one that said she could paint your nails," the blonde said with a huge smile, much to the goth girl's annoyance.
"Still don't know why you didn't volenteer. You're more of a "paint your nails" girl then I am."
"'Cause I know Star's make up style. Remember the last time I did that," Terra said. Raven accually managed a smirk at that thought. Terra looked like a clown, but she kept it on to not hurt the alien girl's feelings. Raven sighed again.
"Fine, I'll keep it...but I want you to know, I don't do pink. So if anyone laughs at it, they're going to be in a world of hurt."
Suddenly, an alarm went off in the living room, followed by flashing red lights. "Titans, trouble," Robin shouted and jumped out of his seat. He dashed to the main computer in the room and hit a button, showing a vault with three blips. "Jump City Treasury. Three intuders." He used a camera in the vault to see who it was, not shocked by the three. "Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo. Looks like the H.I.V.E kids are back at it again." Just as he said that, the camera went black
"Then lets go kick some butt," Cyborg said as his hand turned into his sonic cannon. All six teen heroes ran to the garage, Robin jumping on the R-Cycle and taking off first. Cyborg, BB, Raven and Terra got into the T-car and took off, Starfire flying out last, but easily caughting up to Robin.
Inside the Treasury, the guards were out cold and restrained with a large iron pipe sitting on the floor. The vault door was cut off by a high powered lazer and tossed aside like it was nothing. All the cameras were blown to bits by chaotic bad luck. In the vault, three young criminals worked, stealing anything they could.
"Man, this is way too stinkin' easy," the diminutive crook named Gizmo said as he broke open pressing plate lock boxes with his machanical spider legs. "We shoulda hit this place a long time ago."
"Yeah, really," the teen girl Jinx asnwered as she began to clean out bags of hundreds from lock down. "This may be our biggest take yet."
"Yeah, once I get this gold outta here it will be," the massive Mammoth said as he tiried, and failed, to left a pallet of gold bricks. "Hey, can I get a hand here?"
"Okay, big man. HERE," a voice shouted from behind them. Mammoth turned just in time to get a metal fist on a line to the face, knocking him back over the gold. He got up as the others turned to look and see the Titans standing in the vault opening.
Robin drew his bo from his belt. "Titans...GO!"
The Titians explosed in movement, Cyborg and Beast Boy going for Gizmo, Raven and Terra going for Jinx and Robin and Starfire going for Mammoth. Gizmo's spider legs leapt into the air and bat-like machanical wings spread, taking him into the air, a small lazer popping and firing at the two teens. Beast Boy shifted into a hawk and zig zagged between the shots, trying to get close enough to attack, while Cy just sid stepped past each volley. Gizmo flew higher to get away from BB, just as the green teen shifted again into an octopus to grab at him.
Raven and Terra flew at Jinx, Raven floating in the air using her power, while Terra used a small chunk of earth. Jinx waved her hand at the to girls, a wave of pink chaos heading her them. Raven easily rose over it, but Terra's earth chunk was not as fast, getting hit fully by the attack. It exploded in a shower of pieces, knocking her to the ground, shaken but unhurt. Raven continued on.
"Azerath, Meteron, Zinthos," she chanted, a black haze covering a near by stack of money, flying at the pink haired criminal. Jinx jumped, twirled and landed out of the way and attacked again, her wave of bad luck hitting another stack of money, exploding behind Raven, hitting her with small packets of bills hitting the Teen sorceress and covering her. "That was just really annoying," Raven said, blowing a one from her nose.
Robin and Starfire attacked Mammoth as he charged, Star grabbing Robin by the hands and spinning, Robin's feet coming at the giant's face.hit the mark, sending Mammoth crashing into the gold. He growled and lifted a smaller pallet and tossed it at the heroes, Star tossing Robin in the air and then flying out of the way, the bricks smashing a forklift behind them, destroying it. Robin came down hard, driving a punch into Mammoth. But the attack had only a tiny affect on the muscular monster. He smirked and grabbed Robin as he landed, clobbering him and sending him over a pallet.
"Robin," Starfire shouted and flew at Mammoth, tossing her green starbolts. They exploded around the giant, but didn't hit. He covered his blocking arms and smiled hugely, thinking she missed. He looked up...but she was gone.
"Huh? Hey, where'd that little orange beanpole go?"
"Right here!" Mammoth turned just in time to catch a soilid punch to the jaw, Starfire's incredible strength knocking him flying into a wall. He hit hard, the air knocked out of him.
The rest of the H.I.V.E students were not fairing any better. Gizmo flew quickly away from BB, who was in the form of a falcon, and laughed. "Can't catch me, ya fart sniffin' loser,' he said, just as a metal hand grabbed his wings in front of him. Cyborg had used the chase to slip behind a pillar and wait for his chance. The metal teen ripped the wings from his backpack and tossed the tiny thief at BB, who quickly shifted into a kangaroo and lended back on his tail, kick spinning Gizmo on his feet. Gizmo spouted obsencitied the whole time.
Jinx was giggling as she played with Raven and Terra, spinning, dodging and cartwheeling out of the way of every attack. She even used a wall, broken by her powers, to block a rock and gold brick barrage. She smirked and chuckled. "Give it up, you losers. You can't get me."
Raven got a plan and looked to Terra, then a water pipe behind Jinx. Terra got the plan immediatly. "Azerath, Metiron, Zinthos!" The pipe broke and shot at Jinx, almost hitting her, but the water, covered in Raven's powers, came straight at Terra, who turned her rocks into dirt, mixing with the water, and became mud. She then shot it at Jinx, who again blocked with the wall. But this time, the earthen attack flowed around the wall, grabbing Jinx's legs.
"Hey, let go, Blondie," she shouted.
"Okay, you asked for it," Terra said and made the mud toss the pink haired girl at the wall next to opening. Jinx got up slowly with a groan, just to see her cohorts land next to her.
"Give it up, guys," Robin said and drew a Bird-a-rang, the other Titans joining him in a heroic pose-like gathering. Jinx turned and made a break for the door. Robin tossed the weapon, thinking it'd bring her down.
Jinx turned to see the thing coming at her face. It never made it.
Suddenly, a red blur hit the Rang, knocking it for the air. Both items hit the floor and clattered. The Bird-a-rang...
and a red shuirken.
"Hey kid, don't you know it's not nice to throw things at girls. Especially things that'll hurt them," a familular voice said from the room. Robin's eyes went wide, just in time to get clocked by an invisible fist. He landed and rolled to his feet. The other Titans, except Terra, knew who it was. A blur flashed toward Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo, stopping to reveal one of Robin's most sought after foes.
Red X.
"Red X?! Dude, what is he doing here...helping them...oh man, my brain just blew a fuse. I thought he was only out for himself," BB babbled to himself. The other Titans readied themselves for a counterattack. X just looked at them and raised his hand.
"See ya later, kid," he said and tossed a handful of smoke and flash bombs, filling the area with smoke and bright flashes. Robin took off like a shot, charging his anthesis. But once in hallway, he found them gone. He slammed his hand into a wall and growled.
"Red X, with the H.I.V.E kids. What the heck is going on?" Star came up and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Do not dewell on it, Robin. We must find the Red X and the H.I.V.E. students before they can strike again," she said, calming him a bit. Theothers joined them outside the vault.
"You're right, Star. Okay then," he turned to his friends and teammates, "Raven and Cy, head back to the tower and run a list of possible targets that they might go after next. BB, Terra and Star, begin a sweep of the area for possible hideouts with a three mile radius."
"And what about you, Rob," Cyborg asked as his frined turned around. Robin looked at him.
"I'm going to see if there are any clues in here. Anything at all. You guys have your missions. Ttians, GO."
They broke to do their missions as Robin walked back in, searching for clues.
Across town, the H.I.V.E students and Red X arrived at their hideout, a rather pose, upscale building that had been condemed, then bought by a wealthy developer named R. Xed the second. It still amazed X that the Titans hadn't sniffed out that little scrambling of letters. He bought the building awhile ago with the earnings from his 'business' dealings over the past monthes. He had origenally moved into it himself, building a training facility, living spaces, kitchen and workshop. But they he'd joined the H.I.V.E students, so he moved them in with him, each had their own rooms and Gizmo having his own workshop just for his inventions.
"Man, what a lousy, stinkin' mess that was," the diminutive crook said as he came up the secret enterance in the basement, followed by Mammoth, Jinx and finally X. The thief always came up last, to be sure the secret enterance in the sewers stayed that way, not trusted the others to close the way in right. The four moved up to the upper floors and tossed what loot they could grab, a measly two thousand in small bills. "I don't know what happened, but that was a complete and total mess!"
"Oh, shut up, Gizmo," Jinx said and rubbed her still aching back side, "we were all there and we all got the same butt kicking."
"Yeah, all but Mister Shadowy over there," Mammoth said, thumbing toward X, who was just leaning on the wall, arms crossed.
"Yeah really. He just waited until after those gunk munchers got through with us then stepped in," Gizmo added. Jinx turned on them with a withering look.
"He had his reasons, you dorks," she said, defending X. It was well known by the others and X himself she had a massive crush on him. "if he had come in earlier, we might not have made it out of there." X just sighed. He then perked up and looked at the door.
"Someone's here," he said and went to the monitor room. He flipped the switch and and saw someone he hadn't seen before, half expecting it to be the Titans. The teen wore a white costume with a green helmet, glaves and boots. But that was the least of it. He also had one giant eyeball in his head. Jinx walked in behind X and smirked.
"Seemore," she said, "wonder what he wants. And how he found us." She went to the door and opened it. Seemore smiled big. "What do you want, Seemore?"
"Well, I just got orders. All H.I.V.E students are to report back. The Head Master has something HUGE planned," he said in his high pitched, weaselly voice, "I was sent ta get ya. Everybody else is already back at the school. A van is parked in the alleyway ta take us all back. But you can only take a few bags with you, two each." Jinx frowned at that. She could fill a good sized van with her stuff alone.
"Fine, we'll be ready. Get it warmed up." She went and told the rest of the "team" the news. X was, of course, not too thrilled at the thought. He had joined the H.I.V.E not too long ago, with the condition that he would be allowed free reigh of himself. Blood's telepathy didn't affect him anyway, so the Head Master had no choice by to agree to his conditions. He needed a big name like X to get more students to come anyway, so he tolerated the thief.
"Great, just stinkin' great! Two bags each? How can I fit all my stuff in just two bags? Re-freakin'-diculous," Gizmo complained as he went off to get his stuff packed. Mammoth went to get his stuff, a few barbells and the fridge. Jinx sighed and got her two bags, one with all her make up and the other with only the clothes she could absolutly NOT live without. Gizmo packed his spare tools, circutery and inventions.
X walked to his room and opened the closet. Only spare costumes he'd made, a second belt and a Zinothium case with eight vials of the ore left. he sighed and packed the costumes and belt in a bag along with some money, jewels, thieves' tools and a few other trinkets. He leaned against a wall and sighed. His mind wandered as he waited for the others, thinking back to how he got into this whole thing.
He stood in an alleyway, at night. In the rain. He hated the rain. His costume was getting soaked, he was tired of waiting. He was miserable. The person that had contacted him said to meet here at ten to midnight. It was now five after midnight. He hated tardiness. He then heard a splash of a puddle from behind. X turned to see...
A sharp knock broke his wondering, he sighed and pushed from the wall. "Hey, gunk eater! Time to go." X picked his bag and case up and walked out of his room. As X left, he tossed a shuriken on the bed.
Jinx and Mammoth stood on a fire escape behind the building, knwing they couldn't just walk out the front door and coming up from the sewers was out, with al the bags. So dropping all the stuff from the back above the van was the best way. Mammoth lifted his bag and dropped it first, the heavy weights slamming into the ground and almost going into it. He then hefted the fridge and jumped down, landing next to the van and dropped it in the back, along with his bag.
"Hey lunkhead, you drop this stuff and you die, get it," Jinx said to Mammoth, who visibly blanched at that. She lifted her make up bag and dropped it, Mammoth doing his best to grab it and put it safely in the van. She then dropped the clothes and smiled to X. "Well, now its only me to go down. Boy, sure is a long way down too..." X shook his head.
"Hold on," he said, looking down to the giant below. "Hey, big man. Don't let this hit, or the whole Westside goes boom, got it?" Mammoth's mouth fell open as X dropped the case, the huge teenager grabbing it as gently as possible. X wrapped his now empty arm around Jinx's waist. The girl blushed a bit and got as close as she could to him. X jumped off the escape and hyperdashed down, landing on the ground gently. "Um...we're down now," he said and let her go. She clung for a few seconds more and let go, giving him a wink
Gizmo flew down with his spare backpack on and bags in hand. He landed and got into the van, the vehicle taking off to the new H.I.V.E Academy with its last students inside. X had stopped for a moment and looked around, having the feeling someone was watching them.
Once the van was gone, a shadowy figure steeping into the light. He smirked and leapt to the building and picked the window open, stepping into the abandoned room. He walked slowly, but surey through the hallways, checking every room. Once at X's room, he entered, doing a quick sweep. He then found what he was searching for. The shuriken.
The shadowy man smirked cockily and pocketed the weapon and left, his long coat whipping in the wind behind him as he left.
