Having nothing else to do, they let Raven pick out a movie from a collection they kept in the tower. She chose a rather boring documentary. Starfire and Cyborg had already fallen asleep,and trotted off to their beds. Robin and Garfield's eyes were blood-shot, but kept blinking and staring at the screen. Raven waRs wide- awake, unlike the others. This was the only informative film in their collection. Robin stood up from the sofa, and walked to his room to sleep. Only Garfield and Raven were left on the couch. Garfield reached for the remote, but realized that Raven had it. Noticing what he was trying to do, Raven clicked the pause had a small bit of fear of what would happen next.

"Yes?" she asked, almost unsure.

He was pleasantly surprised she actually paused it. He tried to remember what he was going to say, but he felt so tired.

"Umm..." He murmured, trying to get his thoughts together.

He tended to act oblivious to her behavior, but through the years, he could understand a little about her. When he put her situation in mind, he could understand her actions. He knew she was always cautious with revealing her emotions. Her silence showed her discomfort. He thought at first, it was because she was introverted. However she purposefully avoided her so called "friends",which introverts don't do all day. He always suspected she felt guilty for even existing. He couldn't fathom how a person could live their life, believing that. He chose to believe everything happened for a reason. Her birth happened, because she had a purpose. He didn't care how dark, malistic, or evil her father was. He wanted to be with her. All of her problems were rooted with her father. How could he prove to her that he understood? Or rather, he wanted to learn more?

"What- What's wrong?"He finally asked.

She wasn't expecting that response. Her psyche was rather hard, for even her, to decipher. She tapped her fingers on the mug of tea in her hands, it had become cold, which she refused to drink. The obvious reason would be the fear releasing Trigon, but Garfield would have trouble understanding that. She looked down at her mug in sadness, and watched as Garfield grabbed her hand. She felt a small twinge down her spine. She was surprised nothing shattered. She looked at his eyes, and could see he was completely serious.

"Please," he asked patiently.

Suddenly her mouth went dry, and couldn't say the words. She felt like crying, which rarely happened. Her eyes felt wet, and were about to stream down her face. She didn't want to feel this way,bhe let a tear fall.

"I-I'm", she said in a quiet voice."scared."

Seeing her crying was probably the last thing he would ever suspect she would do. She wiped at her eyes with the back of hands. She looked down at her pale knees, wondering why she said that. It just made her cry more. He almost was at a lose for words, but words came out of his mouth before he knew it.

"You don't have to be." he said.

It was times like these where she was truly infatuated with him. Although he acted like a total idiot at times, sometimes he was a good person to talk to. Maybe that is the reason she was so drawn to him. Like her, he had a dark side, that he had trouble controlling. If anyone could understand, maybe he could. She felt ready to open up to him more. Their eyes locked, and Garfield drew nearer to her. The dim room grew silent as he studied her violet eyes once more. Her eyes were still misty, butit did not matter at the moment. He watcched as she leaned forward by the slightest centimeters. She closed her eyes slowly, ready to breathe him in.

The common room's doors swung open, and Raven heard the mug broke. Starfire walked in rubbing her eyes, as she twisted the faucet on. She grabbed the first cup she saw, and filled it up with water. She watched as Raven brushed off broken glass into the trashcan, and how she swiftly left the room. She looked at the figure still on the couch. It was Garfield. He turned of the T.V. with the remote. He look dejected as he walked to his room. She wondered why they were still shrugged and downed the rest of the water as she left the room for bed.

The next morning the alarm signal went off.

Robin came to the common room first. He had a towel draped over his shoulders. He had been working out in the gym when the alarm went off. He was wiping his brow full of sweat, as he saw Control Freak on the screen. As far as he knew he was supposed to still be in jail. Control Freak was wearing his traditional Clash of the Planets jedi costume. Starfire zoomed into the room burbing Silkie, followed by Cyborg, Raven, and Garfield.

"Hello Titans!" the insane fanatic exclaimed."I have an important bulletin for you to read from this morning's paper."

His camera zoomed in on the paper's first article that was featured. It headline read: "CONTROL FREAK HOLDS HOSTAGES INSIDE ABANDONED THEATER" His camera then faced about fifty to a hundred people chained to old theater seats, with large explosives attached to their chests. Their arms were chained so they could freely press buttons on some sort of remote controller. No one from the team knew what these controller were for.

"These people have thirty minutes until their detonators explode sky high. Unless they choose the correct reason they are chained to these theater seats." said the pathetic nerd of nerds."Oh wait make that fifteen minutes!"

In haste, they practically flew to the only abandoned theater in town. Control Freak did not make it hard to find him. He was not the sharpest tool in the box. They should get this mission complete in no time flat. They ran into the main theater area, and saw Control Freak giving the hostages a type of survey. Just looking out into the crowd, they could tell the hostages were all a bundle of nerves, finding this survey completely stupid. This survey the hostages were answering questions of when certain franchises were being made, what it was, and the total box office numbers each franchise brought in. On the bottom right corner of the large theater screen was a countdown of !0:15.

Robin and Starfire started by running after Control Freak, who waddled away to the door beside the screen. Surprisingly, after closing that door, he climbed a ladder that lead back to where the screen reel was hidden. He hid his remote to the detonators inside of the air vents, where, of course, he couldn't hide due to his robust frame. His plan was to separate himself from the controller, since the Titans were aiming to take it from him. Robin was trying to find where the very overweight man ran off to. He cursed at himself in frustration. They only had 7:20 more minutes left.

Cyborg, Raven, and Garfield were trying un-assemble the bombs on the hostages' chest. Which was proving to be a difficult task, to turn off the needed Cyborg to do all of them, but Raven was helping as much as possible, while Cyborg read off instructions. Garfield felt totally useless. He could do nothing besides make the bombs explode. He stood still watching Raven. Cyborg noticed this.

"B.B., Why don't you help the others?"

He chased after where he thought Robin and Starfire ran off to. He ran through the door on the left side of the big screen. He climbed the ladder out side of that door, which lead to a small room with the survey reel that was playing on the noticed a loose, dirty screw on the floor, and he picked it up. Trying to figure out wheree it came from he looked towards the air vent. Sure enough it was missing a screw. Undoing the screws as quickly as possible, he looked into the vent and found the remote. He turned into a ferret to go deep enough inside to grab it. Having it within his grasp, he crawled out of the vent.
