Chapter3: A Heart Can't Break if it's Already Broken
The door slid shut behind him as he slowly advanced to the girl in his room. "Starfire?" he called softly.
She turned her body slightly towards him. "I was hoping that you might wish to talk to me." She said looking at the ground. She was still nervous around him.
"Star...I'm so sorry about..." he didn't want to say what had actually happened, "about earlier." He finished, narrowing his eyes as he looked to the floor beside him.
"Why do you feel the need to be sorry?" she asked slightly surprised as she looked up at him, as he was looking down. "I thought that I had done something to make you upset with me!"
"What!" he looked up at her, slightly wide-eyed. "Why would I be mad at you?" he asked noticing the large space between them.
A red light suddenly started flashing in his room and a siren called out a few times.
Robin and Starfire, knowing something was happening in their town, ran into the main room as the screen started to turn on. Cyborg, a sleepy Beast Boy, and an annoyed Raven entered the room shortly after they came in.
"Who is it this time?" she asked fastening her cape on properly.
"Mumbo. He's robbing a high-class jewelry store downtown." Robin said reading it off of the screen.
"I'm getting tired of all this Mumbo jumbo..." Cyborg huffed.
Robin gave him a sideways glance and then shouted the infamous phrase, "Titans go!"
Cyborg got onto his newly built motorcycle as Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy, who had turned into an eagle, flew off, and Robin joining Cyborg on the ground on his fairly new bike.
They arrived within a matter of minutes at the jewelry store, but when they got there, all of the lights were off, and of course, being as that it was night, it was mostly dark, except for the select few street lights. Cyborg and Robin parked their bikes on the opposite side of the street as the other three landed smoothly down beside them. "Be careful Titans." Robin said reaching into his nifty utility belt and pulling out a small metal stick, which shot out into his bo-stick. Beast Boy turned into a cat again and started to cross the street soundlessly. Starfire lit up her hands with the lime-green energy and proceeded to act as a light into the store. Raven had the black energy around her hands ready for anything, as Cyborg transformed his arm into a neutron cannon, and Robin ready as ever.
A voice echoed out to them, "Look who's come to play!" Mumbo called out tauntingly. "Oh goody, my favorite group! The Titans!" he laughed annoyingly.
"Come on out and play Mumbo!" Cyborg called out annoyed.
Beast Boy transformed back into his original self and found a light switch. He was turning it on when Robin turned to see and shouted, "DON'T!" But he was too late, Beast Boy had flipped the switch and the lights temporarily blinded them as Mumbo seemed to spring from thin air and shot something at Raven.
Caught temporarily unaware, Raven had let her guard down as a red ball flew furiously towards her and went SMACK onto her face. Beast Boy accidentally caught it as it was coming to him and looked down on the floor to see Raven with a huge red circle on her faze as well as a confused and dazed look.
Beast Boy suddenly heard something ticking and looked at the ball. He turned it over to see a timer and the number of seconds left hit 00. His eyes widened curiously as it blew up and shot him out through the glass in the window and onto the street.
Cyborg managed to be the first one to attack in the long line of attacks soon to follow. He shot a blast towards Mumbo who barely managed to jump out of the way and shoot another ball at Cyborg. He caught it with his free hand and shouted in triumph. "Cyborg, watch out!" Starfire screamed as she shot it out of his hands. It flew outside through the now broken window and blew up in mid air.
Beast Boy finally stood back up, except with smoke all over him and his hair very messed up. He transformed into a rhinoceros as Raven and Starfire shot at Mumbo with their own energy, and charged through the glass at Mumbo, unfortunately running into some kiosks filled with overly expensive jewelry.
Robin had to jump up to avoid being run over be Beast Boy and as he landed on him, he threw a Bird-a-rang at Mumbo. Mumbo threw a cape over himself and disappeared. Cyborg shot another blast at the cape as it fluttered to the ground. It smoldered into ashes as it hit the ground.
Everyone looked around confused. "DUCK!" Raven yelled throwing something over Cyborg's head.
Cyborg jumped to the side as a desk went flying by him and hit the wall. "Where is that no-good-magician?" he asked standing up and recharging his arm.
"There!" Robin yelled as he jumped out of the window up onto a streetlight. He swung his bo-stick as Mumbo disappeared again, knocking the streetlight to the pavement.
The light around the store was now gone, and the lights started to flicker inside as well. Cyborg and Raven had run outside as Beast Boy had tried to move debris off of himself.
"AAAHHH!" Starfire screamed in surprise and pain as a metal ball hit her in the stomach and she hit the wall with her body parallel to the ground.
"Starfire!" Robin yelled as he jumped to the ground. Beast Boy had managed to jump over mounds of now destroyed displays and buried jewelry to pull her away from the explosive ball. He tried kicking it out of the window but it hit the side and bounced back toward them.
Robin came out of nowhere and karate kicked the ball out into the street where it blew up and made a large dent in the street as well.
"Aw, no one likes to play with my special toys! Now I'm mad!" Mumbo said sarcastically as he suddenly appeared in the front door of the store.
It suddenly happened all at once, Raven shot her magic, Cyborg shot a blast, and Robin threw a freezing capsule at Mumbo. They all hit Mumbo at once at a strange thing happened. It all exploded around him and when the strangely thick smoke had dissipated, everyone (who was conscious) got a shocked, confused, surprised, and dazed look all at once.
Mumbo was encased in a light-bluish block of ice with a black aura surrounding him.
"Dude!" Beast Boy was the first one to say anything, and almost dropped Starfire. "What the heck just happened to Mumbo?" he said wide-eyed.
Even Robin, who usually knew the answer, didn't know. "I have no idea, but somehow...the blasts from Raven, Cyborg, and the freezing capsule from me somehow...combined, exploded, and made an icy barrier all around Mumbo..."
Cyborg went up to it and tapped it. Nothing happened, not that he expected it to. He raised his arm up to the now icy-Mumbo and did a few scans. "My sensors say he's just...in perfect hibernation...". "How can that be?" Raven asked getting some tone in her voice.
She was quite shocked herself. She had seen some strange things, but nothing like this had ever happened before. "This is really creepy...but can we just call the cops to come pick him up and put him in the freezer or something?" she asked pulling her hood over her head.
"Can somebody hold her?" Beast Boy groaned under Starfire's weight.
Cyborg, who was closest, returned his arm to its normal state and took her into his arms. He checked to make sure she was breathing and finally said, "She should be fine, but we should probably get her back to the Tower, so I can run some tests and make sure she's okay." He said in a reassuring tone.
He looked over to Beast Boy, "We might wanna get some bandages on you BB. You must've gotten scraped up when you went flying through that window."
Beast Boy looked at himself and noticed a few large scratches. "Yeah, well...glass doesn't exactly feel good ya know!" he laughed.
About 10 minutes later, the cops had arrived with a refrigerated truck to ship Mumbo off, the Titans headed back to their tower, with Raven carrying Starfire in her spectral raven-bird form. She laid the unconscious Tameranian down on a table and Cyborg began to scan her body for any injuries and anything else required for her.
Cyborg ushered everyone out as he began to set up the machinery around her.
Raven levitated a little ways from the door, Beast Boy was sitting a little ways away from the door on the floor; however, Robin was pacing at the door. He couldn't stand not knowing whether she was alright or not. "What's taking so long?" Robin growled punching his fist into his other hand.
"Calm down, these tests don't just happen in an instant. If you want them to be as accurate as they can, you give them as much time as they need." She said opening one of her eyes.
"But why does it have to take so long!" he hit his fists on the door.
"Just chill out dude! Don't you think we're as worried as you are?" Beast Boy asked looking up at him a little angry. "No because you don't-" Robin realized he was about to say something he might regret later.
"We don't what?" Raven asked opening both eyes and turning her head to him. A rare acknowledgement to get from her. "Yeah, we don't what?" Beast Boy asked standing up.
Robin was about to have it forced out of him when Cyborg stepped out of the room and the door closed behind him. "Is she okay?" Robin ran up to the tallest member of the Titans.
He sighed and looked down at the floor. "Is she gonna be okay?" Robin almost shouted.
