I'm Not Evil…But My Friends Are
Jump City at night was almost always strangely empty and silent, despite being a very large and very busy place. Mostly, only skulking criminals and teenagers who had slipped out to smoke a hidden cigarette were the only ones on the street. The city glowed with the light from different signs. One of these signs was the Teen Titans' favorite pizza restaurant. It was supposed to be open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week in order to step up the competition it had with McDonald's, but nobody ever came in here around this hour.
Until tonight, that is. But they weren't customers.
With a crash, a blue-haired figure flew through one of the windows, rolled on the floor, then leapt forward, feet first, and kicked through the window on the opposite side of the room. The cashier and cook slowly got up from their hiding place, then quickly ducked back down as a green cheetah leapt in through the broken window, leaping through the other one and transforming into a green pterodactyl. The cook shook his head. In all his time working at this restaurant, he'd seen a lot of weird things, and this just went right to the top of his list.
Outside, Beast Boy flapped his wings as hard and fast as he could, trying to catch up with the young criminal he had been pursuing for the last ten minutes.
"Damn! How does he keep running like that? I'm starting to get tired, but he's still chugging!"
Indeed, the teenager below him was running at a constant rate of about 15 mph, and hadn't slowed one bit. The changling couldn't call for support since the other Titans were off dealing with the criminals that had been accompanying the one below him.
Beast Boy got an idea, however, and dropped his altitude, turning into a velociraptor before continuing the chase on foot. He should have caught up with the teenager easily, but the youth had glanced back before tucking his hands in his pockets and leaning forward, increasing his speed, his long blue hair, pulled back into a ponytail, flapping behind him.
Beast Boy recognized what he was doing and picked up the pace, trying to keep up with the kid, but no luck. A parked car came into view up ahead, and the kid swerved towards it. Beast Boy tried to cut him off, but too late. With a graceful, yet at the same time powerful, movement, the teenager jumped at the car, hit the bumper, crushing the entire rear of the vehicle, and curled into a ball, then launched himself backwards, propelling himself feet first towards Beast Boy, who turned into his human form to dodge the attack. The blue-haired teenager simply rolled along the street to keep his momentum, then started running in the opposite direction.
Beast Boy felt worn out from the pursuit and was about to consider the chase a failure when a black wall suddenly sprang up in front of the teenager, blocking his path. The youth simply leapt at the wall, then sprang back off it, turning to run back in the direction he had originally been going when another wall sprang up in front of him. In frustration, he kicked out at it. This lasted about a second or two before a blue blast from a side building sent him sprawling.
He wasn't down long though. In an instant, he had leapt back up, dodging the metallic fist that came down at him as Cyborg joined the fray. The teenager leapt backwards, regaining his balance a second before a red disk came whizzing towards him out of the dark. With a quick snap kick, the Birdarang was knocked aside, where it deflected off one of the black walls.
Swiftly, the teenager fell forward, not because he was hit, but to dodge the green gorilla that had just taken a swipe at him. Supporting himself on his elbows, the youth brought a foot up and caught it under the gorilla's chin, knocking Beast Boy backwards into the building behind him. The blue-haired young man ducked again, barely avoiding one of Robin's kicks, before returning with his own, which the Boy Wonder dodged, though with a little bit more effort than the other youth had used to dodge his own. Cyborg came next, swinging left, right, left again, and the blue-head kept dodging, thought was very serious. He knew that although Cyborg was slow, a single punch would lay him out flat. Leaping back to give himself some space, the teenager quickly did a roll slash handstand, bringing his foot up to hit Cyborg in the face. Cyborg lurched away, clutching a bleeding nose. Abruptly, dark rings appeared around the youth's leg, holding the blue-head in midair. He panicked, focusing all his strength into trying to break free, but to no avail.
Something glowed green outside his vision, and he chuckled, relaxing and saying "I should've known better than to try and take you all on single handed."
"Yeah, well you didn't go down very easy," said Cyborg.
"You've been practicing, haven't you Seth?" asked Robin, picking up his Birdarang from where it had fallen.
Seth grinned, despite the situation, and said "Yeah, mostly on the others. They're actually pretty good fighters."
"We know that" said Raven's cynicalvoice from behind him.
Starfire came into his vision and said "I am sorry, Seth, but I must do this."
Seth simply nodded.
He saw Starfire charged up her hand again, then a blast and…darkness…
