Summary: There is a new villain in the city that causes more havoc at the city. However, just as the Titans were about to capture him, the villain has one trick up his sleeve…

Chapter 1: Normal Lives

The sound of a ringing bell escaped into the air of Jump City. Shortly after, a crazy laugh was heard and out of the open doors, a man emerged that seemed to be carrying a bag of money.

Not too soon, another person ran out the door and into the sunlight. The boy had a white mask with black outline followed by a red, yellow, green and black costume which made him look like traffic lights.

He gave out a charged yell, going after the crazed man. Since he saw that he was out of reach, another character—a female—shortly followed after the masked boy and then her hands started to glow green, immediately having people to guess that she was not human at all.

Once feeling the charged energy bolt, she threw the bolt forward so that a medium sized streak flew towards the escaped robber.

As though it sensed that something was tailing him, the burglar performed a leapfrog, making the green streak strike a nearby wall.

"Don't let him escape!" the masked boy shouted before throwing his birdarangs.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" an empath recited and out came black streaks from her hands.

The man turned around. "If you wanted a show then why didn't you say so?"

A crackle of blue electricity came out of his two fingertips, having them going around in circles before he fired it towards the half-demon. Just as she was about to fire her attack, the blue crackling streak struck the black one but like a knife, the blue power sliced through the black and it electrocuted Raven, making her be tangled in wires of blue electricity.

She gave out a yell of agony before falling out of the air.

Followed shortly after the fall, another person came which revealed to be a half man, half robot. He transformed his machine hand into a sonic cannon that blasted out a bluish white streak. Unfortunately, the villain dodged it left and right until it struck him in the back, causing him give out a yell and he was sent tumbling forward, out of the alley and into the streets.

"It's over, Electro." Robin stated.

"Oh you think so, eh? Think again, birdy boy! Hee hee!"

Robin growled but just as the villain picked himself up on the knees, something came behind him. So when he turned around (after he felt a warm breath on his neck), his eyes widened with fear and gave out a shrilling scream once he saw the face of a green dinosaur.

The villain fell back down, dropping the money bag and scrambled backwards.

The mad man then picked himself up once again and looked from all directions. The green dinosaur was still behind him, the two boys were in the front and from the sides, Raven and Starfire flew in.

Since there was no escape, the criminal eyed the running Titans before he used his plan that would get him out.

"So long, little do-gooders but this is my time to shine by placing a little fireworks." he said, already having his power to crackle around him.

When the Titans were close enough, the bad guy placed the power at the ground and like a rocket he zoomed into the sky but just as he flew, the power started to bounce all over the place and it struck the fellow Titans (which was part of his escape plan) but one since it missed.

Robin grunted when the blue energy shot at his feet, knocking him back. He rolled a bit until he came to a halt though he lifted his head to see that his friends were getting the painful zaps.

"No!"

After a few crackling power, the attack gave out which caused the Titans fly back from the explosion, having smoke to rise…

TT

"Well we all look and feel normal." Cyborg said after a while.

"Am I done yet?" Beast Boy muffled.

"Yeah, you're done." Cyborg answered.

"About time. I hate these things." Beast Boy said as he was taking off the many devices that were hooked to him. "And why do I always have to be tested on?"

"It's simple. You're the Guinea pig." Raven said, gliding across the floor.

Beast Boy scowled.

Cyborg yawned, stretching out. "I don't know about you guys but I'm heading to bed."

"Agreed. If we want to continue the fight, we must have a good night sleep." Starfire said, being lifted into the air.

"Night." Beast Boy mumbled.

The three were out of the room which left Raven and Robin. Raven started to walk towards the door until she stopped. She turned around to see Robin who seemed to be staring at the floor as though he found it fascinating.

"Everything ok?" Raven asked.

Robin snapped out of his thoughts and looked into the violet eyes.

Robin shook his head. "I don't know. This doesn't make any sense. The villain attacked you guys. Are you sure you all feel well…normal?"

Raven stared into him. "Well, I feel fine and the scanner says we're all normal. Don't worry about it too much."

"Yeah but the scanner can only show us so much."

"I guess we will see it in the morning. I'm going to bed. You should too." Raven replied.

But that still doesn't ease the leader's mind…

:(/\):

Raven hummed as she was gliding down the hallway in order to reach the living room as she was in need of a drink. A good herbal tea would do just fine.

I feel fine. Maybe the villain really didn't do anything and I guess we're all just being paranoid from the zap.

Raven reached the top kitchen cabinet to grab for the kettle. She then used her mind powers to get the item. In seconds, the teapot was covered in dark magic and started to levitate a few inch of the spot before it zoomed out of the cabinet. However, before Raven could place it down, the object unexpectedly dropped at the top of the counter, being free from the grasp.

The empath blinked.

What the…?

Curiously, Raven tried again and was successful but the door of the living room got swung opened.

"Hey, Raven."

Because of the voice, it made the girl lose her concentration and hence, having the kettle to drop down. But instead of falling to the ground, it crashed right onto her foot.

"OW!" Raven yelled, grabbing her toe as she leaned against the counter.

Wanting to know who disturbed her concentration, she sharply looked to the side only to see Beast Boy who gulped.

"Um…heh…watch out for flying kettles?"

"YOU!" she growled. "When I get my hands on you, you will wish that you hadn't been born. Come back here!"

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Beast Boy replied, walking back to the door so that his back touched the cool surface.

"Couldn't you wait until after I was done with it?" Raven asked.

"Uh—"

"You didn't even think about it, did you?"

But the silence answer was all Raven needed.

Just then, the door swung open to the side which made Beast Boy fall back to the ground. Cyborg raised an eyebrow when he found out that Raven was giving him a death glare look.

"Alright, Beast Boy. Confess. What did you do?"

"Um…I accidentally made Raven drop the kettle on her foot." Beast Boy spoke. "And now she's gonna kill me!"

Cyborg sighed. "Alright you two. Look. Robin's in the gym working out. Starfire is in her room…doing whatever and I'm going to the hardware store to pick some things for the car. Try not to strangle him to death, Raven."

"I make no promises."

:(/\):

Hmph. Obnoxious immature pinhead… Raven grumbled in thoughts.

Just when things couldn't have gone worse, it did. She suddenly found out that she doesn't have the ability to fly.

Just her luck.

Because she was so deep in thought, she didn't notice that Starfire was walking this way and so the two bumped into each other.

"Come on." she muttered.

"I am sorry, friend Raven. My apologies." Star said.

Raven looked up to see the alien and dismissed it, realizing it wasn't Beast Boy.

"It's okay."

With that, she got up and walked towards her door. When Raven reached the door, Starfire spoke.

"I have recently rent out a movie and I was wondering if—"

"No."

And the door slammed closed in her face.

"Alright…what got Raven all moody?"

Starfire jumped with startle so she turned around only to see Robin who was staring at the door.

"Robin." she blinked. "Uh…I do not know."

"I think you mean who got her all moody."

The two turned to the side to see Cyborg.

"I thought you went to the hardware?" Robin said.

"I forgot to get something from my room." he muttered. "And to answer your question, it was Beast Boy. He made Raven lose her concentration when she was getting out the kettle only to drop the thing on her foot. If I hadn't come there, Beast Boy would've been dead meat by now."

"Well, it wasn't my fault!"

Cyborg jumped a little and saw the green Titan who just came in.

"How was I supposed to know she was levitating a kettle?"

"Well gee…I don't know. Maybe you could've looked."

"Sorry for not having my eyes open at that time." he said.

"Uh friends! I have recently checked out a movie and perhaps you wish to join my company?" Star asked.

"Sure. I always like good movies. What did you rent?" Robin quizzed

"It is a movie about romance of French."

Robin suddenly felt his face being heated up. Cyborg and Beast Boy sniggered.

"You mean, French romance." Cyborg corrected while unable to control his giggling.

That only made Robin heat up even more.

"Uh yeah about that…" Robin started but the two beat to him first.

"Sure! Robin would love that, don't you?" Beast Boy said, wearing a devious look.

Robin glared at the green one.

"Sorry Robin. But looks you're on your own this time."

And the two guffawed their heads off when they were walking past by him.

:(/\):

Over the past few days, the Titans—minus Robin—started to feel a bit...strange. Raven started to become even moodier than before, clearly stating the fact that she doesn't want to be disturbed.

But of course, Beast Boy wanted to play a game of Stank Ball much to Raven's dismay so she opted out and resumed her usual business such as reading a book. However, when Cyborg was passing the ball to Beast Boy, the green one missed it and it rushed towards the empath.

Seeing that Raven would probably catch it with her powers, Beast Boy didn't worried about it…until the ball struck her then he had second doubts.

"I'm sorry! I thought you were going to catch it with your powers." Beast Boy replied.

"Ever thought that my powers aren't working?" Raven snarled.

Just from that simple sentence, it made Robin study his fellow teammates.

Something was definitely off about them.

And that proved his point when he asked Starfire if she could help him out with a few heavy boxes. She accepted the help but when she grabbed the box, instead of lifting it up without a problem, she was struggling. When she finally picked it up, the box crashed down, bringing the alien with her.

Then there was Cyborg and Beast Boy with the combat training. Seeing a target that needed to be destroyed, Cyborg leaped into the air and transformed his metal hand into a sonic cannon.

When he was close, he was ready to fire it until the power died down which made him be confused.

"What the?"

Before he could even stop himself, Cyborg slammed himself into the target. Meanwhile with Beast Boy, he was running until he reached at a ground that looked stable but when he actually stepped foot, the ground gave out bringing the Titan along with it.

Without being worried, Beast Boy started to change into a Hawk and he successfully did it…

That was until he suddenly changed back into a human and screamed until Robin jumped in and grabbed him with his grappling hook.

It was then that Robin came to the conclusion. He left this thought out because at first it seemed ridiculous but now after what everything just happened, it didn't seem so.

His friends lost their powers.

:(/\):

"Ugh, that's the last time I'm used as a punching target." Cyborg moaned, collapsing on the couch.

"Same here." the green one said as he too plopped on the couch. "I don't get it. We used to be able to do that stuff and now we can't."

"Yeah, man. What is going on with us?" Cyborg asked.

"You guys lost your powers." Robin stated when he entered the room.

The two boys turned their heads to the side to see their leader. They then gave each other a look before Cyborg spoke.

"What?"

"Ever since Raven started to get all moody, I knew something was up. I didn't had you guys doing the combat just for practice, I was also doing it to study you all. At first, I thought I was wrong but when I asked Starfire for help with the boxes, everything started to come in. Everything started to make sense a while later when you two were in the combat training." Robin explained.

"If we lost our powers then how did we lose them in the first place?" Starfire asked.

Robin went into a thinking mode but he wasn't the only one. Raven was too trying to figure it out how they lost their powers but it wasn't until that the zap from the battle came to her mind.

"The zap…" Raven stated.

Robin nodded once he also figured it out. "When the villain escaped, he left a one single trick up his sleeve. He created the zap so that once it struck you, you guys would be powerless. He hit everyone except me because—"

"You are already human." Starfire said, earning a nod.

Beast Boy groaned. "Aw man. How are we supposed to fight bad guys if we don't have any powers? This sucks. I mean, humans are so…primitive."

Robin scowled.

"Um no offense."

"Careful, BB. I was once human too, remember?" Cyborg said, shooting him a look. "And you were too. So, that means you were also insulting yourself as well."

Beast Boy opened and closed his mouth several of times until he slouched down, grumbling.

"And how are we supposed to get them back?" Raven asked.

"My only guess is that we have to trick him into giving the powers back to you guys." Robin answered.

Just as he said that, the alarm started beeping.

"It's him." Beast Boy announced.

:(/\):

"Don't you think that I should add a little spark in this dull city?" Electro replied, cackling.

"Has anyone ever told you? Playing with fire…you're going to get hurt."

The villain stopped what he was doing and turned his head to the side.

"Ah, if it isn't my favorite heroes. The Teen Titans." Electro said. "How are you going to fight me if you don't have your powers?"

"Power or no powers, you're still going down—"

"And we're going to get our powers back." Cy said.

The villain seemed to be in a pretend thinking mode. "Hmm…no can do."

With that, Electro had his powers to go around him and extended his hand out so that the electricity was aiming for the group.

"Titans, go!"

At the right time, everyone leaped out of the way which caused the energy strike at the ground.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven recited only to find out that nothing was happening. She blinked then frowned. "Right. No powers."

The villain madly laughed at the pathetic hero before he fired his attack. Luckily, the empath dodged it out of the way.

"You forgot, Electro. Some of us were humans before! Rargh!" Cyborg lifted a nearby car and then threw it towards the enemy like a javelin.

The opponent turned his head at the last minute (since he was still being busy with Raven) and gave out an exclaim of shout before he used his powers to blast the car into smithereens at the last second.

"It seems that I have." he grumbled, being disappointed.

Beast Boy and Star charged towards the foe but once they were a bit close, Beast Boy started to jump off a little until at the last minute, he remembered that he has no powers.

This made the evil villain grin before he created a ball of crackling energy which struck at the fellow Titan's stomach. He collided into Starfire and they flew into the air a few feet away before they finally smacked down at the ground with a hard impact.

"Ugh." Beast Boy replied, dazed. He shook his head so that he could be in order. "Dude…do you have any idea how hard it is to fight a villain without your powers?"

"Well some of us gotten used to it! Ragh!" Robin jumped into the air and threw three explosives disk. Having quick reflexives, the villain grabbed all three in his "hands" of electricity.

He swung them to the side before he flung them back towards the Titan. Robin gasped and gave a grunt when the disks exploded, making him fly over the two fallen Titans who followed his movements before they winced when Robin crashed down to the ground.

"Whoo! Way to show who the boss is, Robin!" Beast Boy sarcastically cheered.

"Shut it!" he called out.

"I think it's about time we end this!" Cyborg announced as he came into the view.

He ran towards the smirking enemy who already formed up a plan on how to defeat him. So, he automatically started to whip up his powers by making his hands go around in circles.

When it was time, Cyborg jumped into the air and transformed his metal hand into the sonic cannon. He knew he doesn't have any powers but just maybe he could absorb some of the villain's power and fire it back right at him somehow.

When Cyborg jumped into the air, the villain took this opportunity to shoot his crackling electricity at him. The foe's aim was true when the blue power struck right into the middle of the cannon. Inside the cannon, the power surged all over which made the circuits fire sparks, causing Cyborg yell out.

Electro gleamed madly when he saw the Titan being overloaded.

"Cyborg!" Robin shouted, being worried for his friend. If it continues to go on like this, he might "explode" from the huge amount of power.

"We need to find a way to get to him without him noticing us." Raven responded.

Robin narrowed his eyes, thinking up a plan.

Electro smiled maliciously when he continued his task. Just one more push and he will be fried.

"Come…on…" Cyborg replied through his gritted teeth. He gave out a one painful yell and then…

Just as Electro was about to deliver the final blow, his eyes suddenly widened with shock.

"What?" he screeched.

He stared with wide eyes as he saw the mechanical parts of Cyborg started to glow blue. Inside the circuits, the blue path of voltage suddenly changed its course and went the other way. Instead of delivering the final blow, the energy flew out of the cannon and because of its heavy power, it eventually made a small ball of electrical energy until it started to be larger.

Due to having more power, the ball of energy finally had enough of it and it exploded which caused the two of them fly backwards. Cyborg's metal scrapped against the cement while Electro fell on his face, skidding forward a few centimeters until he stopped.

"Cyborg?" Robin shouted, running towards the fallen friend.

However, out of the smoke, an eerily blue silhouette appeared.

"He's alive." the green one responded.

Something about him was different, Raven realized. She squinted her eyes only to widen them. There, he seemed to be holding his sonic cannon except this time, instead of having a dull color, it was glowing bluish white.

"He got his power back." Raven realized.

"NO!" Electro howled. "How is this possible? It's impossible!" he screeched.

"So…you're glowing with pride or nah?" BB asked, staring at him.

Cyborg smirked. "You bet I am."

"You all had us worried. We feared that with one more blow, you would be…" Star paused, looking for the right word.

"Fried?" Beast Boy offered.

"But how did you not get the final blow?" Robin asked.

"Now I can't reveal all my secrets even you're the leader, now can I?" Cy grinned.

"And since we're all together now, anyone has any idea on how to stop this maniac?" Raven questioned.

"Yeah…nice to see you too, Rae." Cy muttered.

"Since you got your power back on, maybe you could scan him for his weakness. Just like with heroes, every villain has a weakness." Robin responded.

"Alright. Give me a sec." with that, the half-robot started to click away on his scanner. "Well I got it…which is surprising. But…aw are you kidding me? Why is it that we always have to over analyze everything?"

"Just get on with it." Raven said, impatiently.

"His weakness is his right hand." Cy answered. The Titans blinked.

The Changeling looked towards the fallen villain but eventually, he too got up but he slightly staggered a bit. Heck, he looked even madder than before.

"Uh he got up and he's coming over here!"

"No one over powers me! No one!" he screamed.

"Alright, Titans. Here's what we are going to—"

Without a warning, the group just managed to avoid the deadly blast that had headed towards them.

"Aw I sure hope that I didn't spoil your petty plan." Electro responded.

Robin took out three smoke pellets, having his eyes narrowed then he charged at the villain. Once the two were a bit close to each other, Robin threw the smoke pellets just as Electro unleashed his. Because of the hit, the blue power struck the pellets having the fog to cover the street.

Electro breathed heavily, having his eyes sharp and scanned the smoky area. His ears perked up so he turned around to blast his attack to the spot where he thought he heard the noise. Unfortunately, his blast struck a car which got turned over, smashing the rooftop.

"Come out, come out wherever you are. You guys don't scare me."

His eyes scanned throughout the area until once again, he heard a sound. He sharply turned around and fired his attack at the shadow. He thought he had gotten it but he couldn't tell due to the smoke.

Electro walked backwards then spun around only to gasp when he saw what it looked like a crouching shadow that seemed to be at the top of a ledge. He then screeched when something grabbed around his foot, bringing him upwards. This caused him panic so he frantically used his power to transform it into a thin laser to cut the rope.

When it was cut, he started to fall down but before he could even reach the ground a powerful punch collided against him, making him fly off at the side before another punch struck him as well.

He finally fell to the ground but he didn't made a move since something came out of the cloud of smoke which revealed a rope so it got tied around the wrist, having the bad guy swung around.

He then crashed into a voltage box but due to his power being electricity, the box zapped him painfully, making him screech in pain. However, only one streak of electricity came out of his hand.

Electro growled, knowing that one of the Titans—wherever they are—got their power back.

Since the Titans know now the strategy, they continued to use it until they reached their last one. The foe stumbled back, being exhausted from the numerous hits.

"Raven, now!"

"Wha?"

And then as though something was pulling it, the smoke started to go towards the source, being sucked into whatever it was being pulled into. As soon as the fog was slowly fading away, a green streak was shot out of the puff of cloud which struck the villain.

Shortly after the hit, a shadow that took the form of a stegosaurus came into the view and he whipped his tail at Electro. Not too soon after, dazzling objects flashed into his eyes which made his eyesight have stars in them. This made the perfect opportunity for the last Titan to deliver the final blow.

Just as his eyesight was starting to clear up, Electro had little time to react since Cyborg came into the view just as the last trail of smoke vanished, revealing that the smog was going towards Raven's fingertips, being sucked in like a vacuum.

Cyborg used his sonic cannon to blast the foe and just as he fell to the ground, Cyborg made a punch at his wrist. The half robot quickly leaped into the air to avoid the crackling sparks that was going haywire around the body.

"No…no…" Electro replied. "I don't lose! NO!"

The Titans looked down at the defeated villain.

"It's over." Cy stated.

:(/\):

"Alright, y'all! The electric maniac is gone and we got our powers back! Yeah!" Cyborg responded, cheerfully. "This calls for a celebration!"

"Yeah…" Robin sulked.

Seeing that her friend was upset, Starfire spoke. "You do not seem…happy."

Robin sighed. "It's just that…seeing you guys with powers and everything, it really showed me how humans are…weak. One shot, we're dead."

"So I see…" she paused. "I am sorry."

Robin blinked. "You're sorry? For what?"

"For making you feel weak while we're here being stronger than you…"

Robin shook his head. "Don't worry about it. In the end, I've gotten used to it."

"We all have important roles in this team. It is just the matter of time of finding what it is."

Robin looked up and gave a smile.

"Yo, lovebirds!" Cy exclaimed. "You two coming over here or what?"

"Yeah, yeah we're coming." Robin muttered after the two had their face heated up.

As the two friends walked to join the rest of the group, an argument between Cy and BB broke out.

"Pass me the tofu."

"No one likes eating tofu."

"Man, pass me the tofu!"

"Tofu is useless. There's no meat in tofu and so I'm not giving it."

"Pass me the tofu!"

"I'm not gonna."

And that seemed to be going on forever…

A/N: So…I guess this one was…interesting? Heh, this is probably gonna be a one short A/N ending but yeah…uh…did I mention that I was struggling with the fighting scene near the end? Well I was :3 ughhh pain in the butt but yeah…see you!
