Hey guys! This is the first fan fiction that I've ever written, even though I've been writing for around a year now. This is a quick little prologue just to set up things. It's a shortie, but I think it's also a goodie...I'm really happy with the direction it's going in. I'm going to be writing every day, so it won't take long for this to develop. Hope you keep reading after this. Enjoy!

There was an odd stillness to the downtown area of Jump. The city is usually thrumming with the sounds of combat between super powered humans and aliens, a sort of hub where good and evil collide. This is mostly, in part, due to the looming presence of the Teen Titans. Although they are super human (and partly alien), they live the average lives of regular teens.
Well...they try their hardest, at least.
They're quite the sight for tourists, but the local people have gotten used to their antics. For the people of Jump, the sight of a massive robotic cyborg and a little green boy duking it out at the local arcade is common fare, especially since much worse is constantly falling out of the sky.
Not today, though. There is an unnatural calm, and this calm is not going unnoticed. It's just past lunch, and nobody has had to dodge a single car or giant moth today. The fact that it's a Monday makes it even more odd, for evil always strikes on Mondays around lunch. It's fairly common knowledge, and if you're a citizen in Jump that does not know this, then you probably will not last beyond a Monday lunch and should have never moved to the city in the first place.
But since it was a Monday, and it's pretty much an established fact that these kind of things happen around this time, something, eventually, did.
CRASH.
"You're going to pay for that, asshole!" shouted a metallic humanoid.
It came to no surprise to the people of TheChizzaPizza that a teenaged metallic humanoid fell out of a spontaneously formed portal in the sky, followed by a young teen girl in a pink fly outfit. The following battle ensued, and it seemed like things were about to become normal again. As normal as super powered robotic and cat-bug teens get.
...
Zoey zipped around the giant crater that Trevor formed when he smashed into the ground. Her little insect wings were moving her up and around at the speed of a mosquito's. As fast as she was moving, Trevor and her were still locked in a heavy stare. He was still moving, and Zoey did not like this one bit.
"Hey Trevor!"
"What?"
"Ever heard of the robot kid that was a huge jerk because he wouldn't shut up and die?"
Trevor leapt out of the crater into a spiraling high kick that missed Zoey by an inch. He hit the wall of a building with a heavy thud, and dug his fingers into the concrete.
"Nope, but I know about the mosquito cat girl who couldn't fly anymore!"
Trevor ripped a window panel out of it's concrete frame, and flung it at Zoey with a satisfying spin. Zoey screamed at the massive glass chunk flying at her and shot a rushed streak of pink lightning in it's general direction. It backfired, as the lightning went through the glass and reflected all over the street. Everyone ran in a frenzy for cover, Trevor included.
Trevor pounced off the skyscraper wall and plunged himself into a subway entrance in a last ditch attempt to escape. He was too late, and was caught in the sudden electrical storm. His circuits went haywire, and he lost his grip on his surroundings. His unexpected rendevouz with solid ground didn't help at all with his injured state.
"Ow." was all he could mutter as he curled up on the floor writhing and fizzing with pain. Although he was all robot, he was programmed with all human functions. And that included feeling electricity and impact all at once.
After a few dizzy seconds of error codes, he managed to get back up on his feet and regain a sense of his surroundings. Looking across the street, he saw that his plan didn't fail entirely- Zoey had a missing wing. She too was attempting to gain her bearings on the current situation, and saw her body part lying on the floor in front of her.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!". She let out a horrified shriek at the sight of her severed insect wing. "YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS, TREVOR!" She pounced up and across the street throwing a punch that Trevor barely dodged. Her fist made contact with a street light that quickly disconnected itself from the ground. It fell in Trevor's direction, and he had another near collision.
Zoey turned and revealed a sadistic smile. "You may have brought me down to your playing field, but that doesn't mean I'm any weaker. Come on!" She made another cat-like leap that Trevor blocked with a punch. "Give me all you GOT, robot boy!"
Trevor's systems were critical. His battery was damaged, and another hit could completely mess up his insides. If he wanted to survive, he would need to take the offensive-
"Titans, GO!"
Almost out of nowhere, a group of teens came into view in a fierce looking battle formation. Zoey turned to see what was coming, and Trevor found his his golden opportunity.
In a single swift movement, he jumped, side-swiped Zoey's legs, and effectively landed a satisfying punch right into Zoey's face bringing her down to the ground.
Just as effectively, Zoey grabbed Trevor's arm, pulled it aside, and stuck a small wire into his abdomen.
"Lights out, Trevor-boo." she whispered with a heavy dose of a mock-mother voice.
He tried to open his mouth and shout, and everything went dark.
