This was a great view. Jump City was lit up beautifully, with the street lights bordering the areas where cars, only their tail and headlights visible, ran. A few windows were still lit, creating odd patterns that were seemingly random. Yes, this was definitely a great view.

'Still.' The girl thought as she looked up. 'It's not as great a light show as the sky.'

The city below was so full of light that not that many stars were present above. But at this height, many were in sight. High on a city tower definitely was the best place to have a view in the city.

'Alright. Time to get to work.'

She had put it off enough. The girl, her form darkened and blending easily with the shadows due to her dark suit, turned and found an easy way into the expensive skyscraper. Sure, she could walk in through the front door instead of breaking in through an air shaft. But that wouldn't be very discreet, now would it?

Entrance into the building was relatively boring. If she wasn't getting the usual surge of adrenaline from doing what she wasn't supposed to be doing, she would have stopped paying attention to where she was. She may have even missed her exit, which she kicked free before dropping into the room below.

A quick scan revealed nothing of true importance in the room. It was large and held much technology at its walls. In fact, the alarm was probably going off right about now. Oh well, it wasn't as if the girl would be here long enough to meet the police.

She walked to the edge of the room, where a computer was. Her fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, and then she pulled a thumbdrive out of the tight fabric of her suit.

"Quite a view." She mumbled as the data downloaded onto the drive. She could feel the device on her throat vibrate, tickling slightly as it changed the way her voice sounded.

When the bar was full, the drive was retrieved. The girl turned and was about to make her way out the way she came in, but found five figures obstructing her path. Go figure. They always showed up in the middle of a job.

"You know, if you're looking for a view, I'd suggest the lookout on the edge of town." Robin said, a confidant smile on his face. He was wearing the usual costume with his cape fluttering in a nonexistent wind and the mask covering his eyes, which was supposed to throw shadow to his identity.

"But since that doesn't seem to interest you-"Cyborg charged up his cannon of a right arm, which was now glowing blue. Half his body was mechanical, and the human parts showed dark eyes and skin.

"-I guess we'll just have to show you the inside of a jail cell." The green kid pounded a fist into his open palm. Beastboy was the oddest looking of the bunch, not only because of his skin color, but also because of his pointed ears and sharp fangs.

The girl smiled even though the Titans wouldn't be able to see beyond the mask. She lifted up the drive so that they could see it, and then slipped it into her suit from an opening they wouldn't be able to see from there. The boys had rather modest reactions as she stuffed it into her bra. None of them ever failed to amuse her.

Starfire came first, her starbolts glowing on her hands. She threw them, and their sparkling green light missed the thief by inches. The girl in black twisted her body with precision as she avoided every blow. A computer from the wall, encased in black energy and eight feet tall, slid forwards from behind her, and the thief executed a perfect back flip that cleared the tower by at least another foot. Then Cyborg took his turn, firing his weapon to distract the fugitive while Robin shot one of his bird-a-rangs, or whatever they were called. It was only a quick spin on her left heel that allowed the explosive and sharp device to pass by the girl without harming her.

The thief spun and dashed, eventually jumping high enough to get away from the Titans that had crowded around her, trying to cut off her maneuverability. The sound of a growl immediately attracted her attention, and the girl turned just in time to see a green tiger leaping at her. There was the sound of claws upon metal, and the tiger showed obvious surprise when it realized that a blade coming from the girl's elbow was stopping its attack. The sound of another one protruding from the other elbow alerted it just in time to get out of the way of cold steel.

She didn't have the time to even pause. Robin came at her with a staff, forcing her to immediately engage him in battle. The two traded blows for a good few seconds, adding in martial arts moves here and there to try and catch the other off guard. Another sound eventually warned the girl to jump, and she just barely cleared the green blur that passed under her. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to avoid Robin's next hit, which sent the thief tumbling across the floor.

The girl hit the wall. She got up quickly, but suddenly found her feet were now encased in black energy. A glance revealed Raven concentrating a few feet away. Cyborg and Starfire now stood side by side, raising their energy-based weapons. It seemed the thief would not be allowed a way out of this blow. Green and blue mixed with each other, and the target lifted her arms.

Not only did the thief have blades that protruded from her elbows, but with a swift movement, jagged blades stuck out from her lower arms as well. They looked sharper than the other ones she had used. With a sudden, downward stroke, the energy before her split and instead created a lot of dust by striking the walls to either side of her.

All five Titans waited nervously outside of the dust cloud, trying to see into it. Not that it mattered; all of them had the girl surrounded. There was definitely no way she would make it past them.

Wrong.

A quick toss of an explosive blade and a lot more debris later, another hole into another shaft system was opened, and the dark form of the thief leaped into it, making her escape quick. She followed the lines until she finally spotted a decent opening, through which she could see the city lights. Unfortunately, the opening she kicked the slotted door from was also on the side of the building. Edgily, she looked down. There were still many stories separating her from the ground.

The Titans, almost on cue, appeared before her. They were all flying in some form, although Raven was the only one flying solo, her hands glowing with a black energy. Starfire was holding Robin, who was ready with some of his projectiles in hand. Beastboy seemed to have turned into a pterodactyl and was grasping the shoulders of Cyborg, who still had his distance weapon charged.

"You can't escape from this height!" Robin shouted. The wind was giving him a little trouble.

"Just turn yourself in now!" Cyborg said.

"You're not getting out of this." Raven spoke with a monotone voice.

The girl smiled from behind the mask again. She had never failed a job yet, and she wasn't planning on it, either. This building wasn't scary, and neither were they intimidating.

She raised a few explosive blades so that the Titans saw them, and then threw them. The five scattered before the bombs went off, and then the thief was diving from the smoke. Wind went by so quickly that she couldn't hear anything other than the air pounding against her eardrums. She supposed the Titans would be rushing after her, so she twisted her body in the air.

Now the girl was looking at herself in the reflective surfaces of the building she had just stolen from. No hair flew from her. Instead, her form was restricted to a thin, skin-tight suit of black and a featureless, equally black mask. Not even her eyes shone through the blank surface.

'Focus.' The girl thought to herself, seeing a green starbolt fly past her. She had to spin out of the way of Robin, who had tried to drop onto her, and Starfire, who raced after him. Then she focused on her reflection again.

'This is where you are. Picture where you want to be.'

She closed her eyes briefly, doing as she told herself. When she opened her eyes again, she could barely hear Raven muttering the words to her sorceries. But right in front of the thief, the glass of the building was undulating as if it were water. She reached forwards, feeling her hands go through the cool surface of the glass as she fell, and her fingertips latched onto something hard. With a mighty heave, she pulled herself through.

It was like being given a brief, extremely cold shower. And then she was flying into a room with all the force of her fall, her head smacking loudly on someone's desk. The girl groaned in pain, but forced herself to get up. Rubbing the back of her head, she noticed that she was in her boss' office, and in front of her was a mirror. Wait. She had come through a mirror?

"That's not right." The girl muttered, her voice still changed. "Oh well. I guess an underground hideout wouldn't have any windows for me to jump through."

"W-what are you doing here?" Someone spluttered.

Shieb: This seems to be a far cry from other stuff I've written, and it's on purpose. I just want to let everyone know that this will NOT be regularly updated or given a lot of attention unless it's given a lot of comments or whatever by the readers who want it to continue quicker. This is also a lot more combat-oriented than most of my other stuff, and that's why I chose Teen Titans- because it was a favorite show when I was little, and there is a lot of battle that I can take advantage of.
