Chapter Three: Differences
BeastBoy was going to turn into a bear and maul Control Freak. He had ruined a perfectly good beauty sleep! How was he supposed to look good for the ladies without his beauty sleep, or more specifically lady?
Oh no, Raven. She was going to be so ticked; he wouldn't even get the chance to maul him, Raven will just send him strait to hell.
Either way they had to get going, he wondered if Batman was going to come with them. Control Freak would pee his pants when he saw Batman, both out of excitement and terror.
BeastBoy smirked at that idea, he thought he was going to do exactly that when he saw Batman but he managed not to.
He got out of his bed and headed for the living room.
When he got there Robin and Cyborg were already at the computer pulling up information on what Control Freak was doing.
He sat on the couch waiting for the two girl titans to arrive so that they could get this over with.
Raven was next to come in and he noticed she still had two eyes but they were blood red. She sat by BeastBoy and then started to mediate to try to get her emotions under control.
Only a minute went by before the door swished open again not to reveal Starfire but Batman. He walked over to the computer and Robin sigh, "You are here to catch your villains not ours, I would say you are not permitted to come but you would just argue with me anyways."
Batman nodded "Glad you understand, why are we not going?"
Robin looked at the rest of the team "Star isn't here and we don't leave until the whole team is assembled."
Batman just crossed his arms and waited.
It was only a few seconds before Starfire flew through the doors; she landed by the couch "I am most sorry that I was late."
Robin then shouted his signature "Titans Go!"
BeastBoy turned into a pterodactyl and picked up Cyborg and the glass window opened letting them go through. Starfire took flight and grabbed Robin's arms and they were right behind BeastBoy and Cyborg.
Raven created one of her orbs and nodded for Batman to get on.
He questioned it for a second then got on and they followed after the others.
It wasn't long before the reached the location of Control Freak.
They stopped just outside of the old computer factory and Cyborg did a scan "Looks like he's hiding in there somewhere. I can't pick up his exact location but there is life in there."
Robin nodded "Titans spilt up and find control freak."
They all went in different ways looking for Control freak including Batman.
BeastBoy liked the plan to split up because that gave him the possibility for revenge.
He turned into an eagle and flew up to a vent and used his talons to pull of the covering he then turned into a hummingbird and flew partly in before transforming again into a mouse.
He scurried through the vents to get to the center were he guessed Control Freak would be.
Cyborg decided to go through the back door and just do a perimeter check.
Raven went for a broken window halfway up and decided to check the second floor.
Starfire flew to the roof and was going to check up there.
That left Robin, he turned to Batman "Do whatever just don't get in our way."
With that he went through the front doors deciding to check all of the rooms towards the center of the factory.
Batman just stood there for a minute before deciding to do a perimeter check. He wasn't entirely sure that the only villain here was this Control Freak the titans were so annoyed with.
The perimeter came up clear so he headed for the inside.
Robin did not want his father here but he would have come anyways despite if he completely threw a fit.
He decided to ignore him though and just take out Control Freak so that they could just go to bed and get some sleep.
Robin got very close to the center before Control Freaks voice came booming through the factory.
"Hello Titans! Welcome to the midnight showdown! To win you have to defeat all of my robots then you have to win the boss battle. The showdown begins now!"
Suddenly computer monsters came at Robin from all angles.
Robin pulled out his staff and readied for a fight.
Several tried to jump him at once but he easily was able to defect them all with a simple flick of his staff.
He charged the rest and threw a new water bomb which Cyborg and him invented especially for Control Freak's monsters.
The rest of the robots went down and Robin put his staff down. "Enjoying the show?"
Batman jumped down from the rafters "The Robin I knew would have been overwhelmed."
Robin shrugged "I've improved and I have learned new tricks, is that why my course was so easy? Did the great Batman underestimate me?"
Batman crossed his arms "Maybe I did."
Robin smirked "So you underestimated me, what about Raven?"
Batman then scowled "I know you already figured out that I have studied each of you teammates but I did not fully comprehend Ravens power."
Robin laughed "I can't believe you actually tried, I have known Raven for years and I barely comprehend her powers."
Batman grunted and looked around "This is not the place for this discussion."
Robin shrugged and then a loud scream echoed through the halls.
Robin pulled out his staff and Batman got ready to attack.
A couple of seconds later another loud scream echoed through the halls but the voice was different.
Right after that there was a loud "DUDES! A LITTLE HELP! AHHHHHHH"
Robin then looked to Batman again "Starfire and BeastBoy."
He then took off in the direction of the screams and Batman was right behind him.
They reached a large door and then raven appeared right next to them looking a bit panicked.
She shook he head "I can't get in."
Robin looked at the door and then a sonic blast hit it. He looked behind him to see Cyborg standing there with he cannon trying to blast open the doors; after a minute he gave up.
"Too strong, what is Control Freak doing to them?"
Robin gritted his teeth "I have no idea, all I know is that we need to get in there and find out."
Raven nodded in a agreement then thought for a moment "There too strong to be taken out by the computer monsters so what is happening?"
Just then another voice chimed in "Wasn't my computer monsters, they were all destroyed after I unleashed them."
The Titans including Batman all turned to stare a Control Freak.
Raven's eyes turned suddenly red and multiplied and a she grew in size.
A black claw reached out and wrapped its way around Control Freak dragging him towards her cloak.
Control Freak let out a high pitched squeak and started clawing at the ground trying to get away.
Raven then started to speak, her voice not her own "What have you done!"
Control freak was now sobbing and muttering "Nothing it wasn't me! I swear!"
Robin sighed, "Raven cut it out I don't think it was him either, this is way out of his league."
Raven took a minute to compose herself before she let Control Freak go.
He scrambled backwards then stood up "I swear it wasn't me! All of the surveillance in this area was knocked out 5 minutes ago."
Control Freak continued rambling and Robin turned his attention to Batman who was doing something to the door.
Batman then swooped away and said, "Stand back and get undercover."
Raven then instantly put a shield around everyone.
10 seconds later the door blew apart.
Cyborg whistled at the damaged and then Robin motioned them to move forward.
Starfire had just run into BeastBoy who was on the floor coughing.
She ran over to him and kneeled but him "Friend BeastBoy are you the O and K?"
BeastBoy shook his head "No! (cough) I got smoked out of the vents (cough)"
Starfire helped him sit up then she looked around for a vent. Sure enough there was a vent with smoke pouring out of it.
She flew over to investigate then she accidently breath some in and started coughing.
She flew back over to BeastBoy "I believe it is best if we get out of this area."
BeastBoy nodded and then they both staggered over to the door.
Starfire tried to open it but it wouldn't budge. She tried again adding in her strength but it still wouldn't budge. She then looked around for an alternative escape "friend BeastBoy I do believe we are the trapped.
Just then they heard control freaks announcement and they readied themselves for battle except none came.
BeastBoy shrugged "Weird."
Starfire nodded "Most strange indeed."
They looked around for an escape but they couldn't find one they were trapped.
Starfire headed back to the door and tried to open it again using all of her strength, just then she felt breath on her ear and disturbing voice whispered "Having trouble dearie?"
Starfire spun around was face to face with the joker.
She screamed as loud as she could hoping that the other titans would hear her.
Joker grabbed her head and put something up to her nose and mouth. She was being drugged, she tried to fight the darkness that was swiftly settling on her but it was too much, she black out.
Joker laughed gleefully and said more to himself "Well I got the pretty one."
Just then another scream echoed through the room. Joker turned to see a green boy running towards the door screaming his head off.
He wasn't even looking where he was going because he ran straight into the Joker.
BeastBoy was knocked back and then looked up at the Joker
"Awe man… DUDES! A LITTLE HELP!"
Joker kicked him in the face and then took the rag he used on the girl and threw it onto the boys face.
He was out in seconds. Joker made an tsk tsk noise "This is what happen when you eat to many green vegetables."
He then looked up "I though you were going to take care of him?"
Scarecrow smiled "he was more scared of me than what I anticipated instead of fighting he ran."
Joker laughed, "Good job scary."
Scarecrow mock bowed then pulled out two syringes.
Joker tilted his head "Why cant we just kill them know why do you need blood samples?"
Scarecrow started to take the sample from BeastBoys arm "We can't take them that will ruin our plan and I need to take this so I can check and see if our special agents will work on them."
Joker made an 'o' face "So these two aren't human?"
Scarecrow nodded "Well the boy use to be human but because of his ability to change into animals I wanted to make sure. The girl is from a different planet."
Joker looked down at the girl "well we can't have them be exceptions to our "agents" that would be no fun."
"Exactly." Scarecrow finished with BeastBoy and moved onto Starfire.
He finished quickly then they heard a call to get to cover.
Joker and Scarecrow ran for it each taking a titan and they got far enough back so that they were out of trouble.
Scarecrow motion to Joker that they needed to go, Joker nodded and then they were off.
They headed for there hidden exit then Joker stopped "I just want to say hi to bird boy I haven't seen him in years. Plus it won't hurt to mess with there heads a bit."
Scarecrow sighed, "Fine."
They waited a minute before they heard the titan's footsteps signifying they were in the room.
Robin looked around then his eyes landed on Starfire and BeastBoy in the middle of the room lying side by side.
He started to walk towards them but then a voice echoed through the room.
"Hello Birdy! Its been to long! I met some of your friends their lovely especially girly there! Oh Bats I didn't know you were here it is simply lovely to see you again! I must be going but I will see you again soon and we will catch up! Cheerio!" With that the voice started laughing then it drew further and further away.
Robin stared at the two titans on the floor and then he looked over at Raven who showed actual horror.
He glanced at Cyborg and his face also showed horror.
He looked at Batman who had crossed his arm and was examining the room.
Raven then ran forward and felt at BeastBoys plus. She sighed in relief and then felt Starfire's pulse.
She then composed herself and announced "there alive."
Robin wanted to collapse, for a minute he was beyond panic "Knocked out?"
Cyborg walked over and scanned a machine over there bodies "Yup, a typical knock out drug."
Robin nodded and then he notice a bit of blood on both of there arms "Cyborg blood levels?"
Cyborg scanned them again and then knit his eyebrow "Just a bit bellow normal. What are you thinking Rob?"
Robin's mind started reeling coming up with different situations of what happened. "Blood samples, but for what?"
Control Freak finally piped up "Duh, make sure the fear gas and laughing gas work on them. Kind of obvious."
They stared at him in shock then Batman nodded "He's right that is probably what they were doing."
Raven shook her head "We need to get him to jail then get these two home."
Robin nodded "Titans, let go."
Control Freak began to protest as Robin handcuffed him.
Batman then started going around the room "I am going to see if I can find clues."
Robin nodded and then the Titans left. Raven caring the two unconscious titans on an orb. While Cyborg pressed a button while announcing "T-Cars on its way."
After the titans left Batman started his search, for an hour he came up empty until he found a box covering a secret door.
Batman opened the door and found, it led down a hall that went outside.
When Batman got outside he looked for more clues but there were none. He decided that there was nothing more he could do so he headed for Titans Tower.
BeastBoy and Starfire were taken up to the medical bay just incase.
Raven sat by BeastBoy and Starfire the whole night and Robin stayed most of the night.
He kept beating himself up for what happened, he could have done something. They could have been killed tonight and there blood would be on his hands because it would have been his fault.
Raven tried to talk him out of that thinking but he didn't listen.
Starfire woke up first at around 4 am. She was a bit panicked but Robin came and was able to calm her down. He took her to her room and made sure she was all right before leaving to let her sleep.
BeastBoy woke up 30 minutes later panicked like Star but Raven was able to calm him down.
She tried to convince him to go to his room but he insisted that the couch was closer. He fell asleep as soon and he lay down on the couch.
Raven shook her head and headed for her room to get some sleep.
On her way to her room she ran into Batman.
He stopped her "You and your team, you really look out for each other?"
Raven nodded "We do, we kind of made our own little family here and we don't need you ruining it."
Batman crossed his arms "Robin needs to come home."
Raven shook her head "He is home."
Batman scoffed "Yeah right like a team of teenagers with out of control powers could get along let alone become a family."
Raven wanted to rip his head off at this point, or send him through a portal to who knows where. "Yes we fight sometimes like most family's, no we are not perfect but who is! Robin is happy here and if you were any kind of father you would just be happy for him!"
Batman seemed a bit taken a back now "wait, father?"
Raven nodded "Or should I say adoptive father?"
Batman was furious now "How do you know my identity."
Raven made a frustrated sound and crossed her arms "We know each others past, so calm down… Bruce."
Batman was going to blow a gasket "HE TOLD YOU! I CANT BELIEVE HIM!"
"It's his life to and he can tell whom ever he wants."
"HE SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU!"
"YES HE SHOULD HAVE!"
Batman was now becoming very frustrated with this Raven girl.
Raven was just as equally frustrated, she wasn't one for picking fights because most of the time she found them pointless but this man had the power to destroy her family and the home that they fought to create and that was not okay with her.
Raven took a huge breath before continuing "Look, please just catch your villains and leave, Robin is happy here he has friends, family, and a girl so please just leave us be."
Batman's brain stopped, Girl? "Girl? What girl?!"
Raven then lost all respect for Batman as a detective it wasn't like there relationship was some huge secret.
"Really, they are all over the news. Do some research I am sure it wont take much to find out."
Raven took another deep long breath "I am tired and this fight has drain me and causing me to loose control so I am done with you for now, watch your back."
Raven then headed directly for her room. When she got into the safety of her room she removed her cape and crawled into bed.
She had just told off batman, the batman. Well that was an interesting experience.
With that thought she drifted off into sleep.
Batman on the other hand did not fall asleep right away. He went straight to his computer and started researching this girl Raven was talking about.
At first there were old reports of gossip that Robin and Batgirl were together then it went into gossip that Raven and Robin were together then just random girls that lived in Jump.
He was starting to question that Raven had only said that to get him mad then he found it.
A picture of Robin and a girl holding hands accepting awards. The article was in Japanese but he could tell who the girl was.
He was prepared to go tell off Robin for a having a girl, let alone her being a teammate, and telling the titans his secret identity!
He was at the door when he got a better idea; hat sat back down at the computer and pulled out his bat communicator "What about a trip to Jump?"
To Be Continued….
