"Ba…Bat…..Batman?" asked Robin
"No it's your Granma…"Batman said sarcastically
"Of course it's me!" He said
Robin frowned "want do you want Bruce?" he asked
"Wait…..Bruce!" Cyborg laughed,
"As in the playboy Bruce Wayne?" You have GOT to kidding!
Of course of course oh….I don't know why I forget these things!" said Cyborg as he continued to laugh in the back round.
"Robin what is a Playboy?" Starfire asked Robin with wide eyed interest
"Ooooo try getting outta that one Robbie boy!" Cyborg shouted
"Oh! uh it's…like an um….m… m…maybe some other time star!" he stuttered
"Is it a boy who plays?" she questioned
"Uh….." robin trailed off
"Hmmm sorry to interrupt but this is bunnies"
"Whoops uh not playboy bunnies uh
Business…..not ……bunnies" batman corrected himself
"Now what are the bunnies to do all about this?
Dose this boy who plays, play with bunnies?" Starfire said now starting to get slightly irritated.
Beastboy burst into laugher at this and Raven couldn't help but smile,
All of a sudden a head poke up on the edge of the screen which Robin recognized as batgirls.
A good friend of his, he actually used to have a crush on her when he was younger but those feelings were long gone now.
"Hey batgirl" Robin said greeting her
"Hey Robin" Batgirl answered back
"There's an emergency that doesn't involve bunnies" she continued on
"Oh good!" Robin laughed nervously
"But what about the poor –wittle- bunnies?" said Beastboy clutching onto Cyborg, who also looked like he was going to faint from laughing too much
But they quickly shut up at the sight of Robin's face as he turned to glare at them.
"Shutting up" said Beastboy quickly
"About time" Raven said as she smirked
"ENOUGH!!" Robin roared,
Everyone went dead quiet
"TITANS TOGETER!" he ordered
They obeyed immediately
Lined up, Cyborg, Starfire, Beastboy and Raven.
Batman let out a low whistle, but quickly got over it and stiffed up and said;
"That's pretty impressive for YOU robin" putting an emphasis on the 'you'.
Robin gritted his teeth; he was starting to get really annoyed now,
"Ok" Robin said "what is the trouble Batman?" he asked
"I have a lead on a "Slade" or Deathstroke the terminator" said Batman.
He then screened a video clip and sure enough there was the man that titans loathed so much.
He was fiddling around with the camera,
"Is it on?" he asked the cameraman
"Oh it is!" he said
Slade cleared his throat "hem, hem"
"Ah yes titans" said Slade returning to his usual air of suspense
"Over the years you have managed to make my plans go haywire,
"Very impressive for a bunch of kids"
Robin grinded his teeth even harder
"But not good enough, you see titans I've joined a club"
"Good for you Slade good for you" Raven said sarcastically
"We hate those stupid teenaged titans" you like it?
"I love it!"
"Oh incase you want to contact me my email address is:
That's one word and so uh, I'll see you around!"
The clip ended
Batman started: "I've traced where the clip came from 18 avenue drive-
Bing Street" said Robin interrupting him.
"Yeah we know" robin carried on
"If you know then why are you not busting down his door?" Batman asked surprised
"Because he has insurance" Robin said as though this was obvious,
"You're kidding me!
Because he has insurance, you're not going to bust down his door?" he asked Robin.
"Yeah it doesn't matter how many times we bust it open he always managers to get a new one!" agreed Cyborg who was still a little hysterical,
"But….but…..said Batman who was speechless,
"That's pathetic!" batgirl cried,
"Yes it is, said Starfire who was in shock at they way the Titans were behaving.
"I'm so sorry they don't normally act like this,
Robin is usually jumping into action!
And the titans follow, especially on Slade!" she told them.
"Hate Slade….Slade must die…..so many people dead thanks to Slade all my fault Slade
Must die…..hate Slade…so...So…so…much……robin chanted under his breath.
Starfire looked around, completely and utterly confused.
All the teen titans were doing it.
"Stupid Slade taking away terra stupid….STUPID….thinks he's so cool and smug…Beastboy was muttering wildly under his breath,
"Thinks he can make me take over this dimension; I'll show him….."Raven muttered crazily under her breath.
"Stupid Slade showing where he's never ever wanted" Cyborg hissed though his teeth,
Robin seemed to have a twitch,
"UH!?" said Starfire panic was now starting to rise.
"Who hopped on the cuckoo train and took it for a ride?" Batgirl asked
"Friends, friends please do stop the nonsense!" Starfire said trying to get every one under control,
"Slade too stupid to be human…"Cyborg hissed
"QUIET!" Starfire screamed
"Uh?" dammit! Did I do it again?!" robin said more than to himself than anyone
"Don't worry robin you weren't the only one doing we were all doing it" raven said
"It appears that we have formed a huge physiological imbalanced to Slade" she continued on.
The titans all stared blankly at her, Beastboy seem to be in another world,
Raven rolled her eyes,
"We-hate-Slade-more-than-ever-now" she said slowly and in a mocking baby voice.
"Oh I now I get it!" Beastboy said; it feels good to get things doesn't it? He said smugly
"Which is the sensation that you won't be getting much" said raven
Beastboy glared at her,
"Actually Robin I ah..." batman gulped it looked like what he was about to say was painful,
"He needs your help" Batgirl said
"My help?" said robin in shock
"Yes well you see Batgirl is going on a class trip to Rome and ah... I need help"
He finished lamely,
"Ha ah , but what with exactly?" Robin asked
"The Joker is up to his old tricks again, and I need a distraction" he said returning to brisk emotionless tone.
"Interesting, but what is his key point?" Robin asked business like
"Would you believe an old abandoned space station down east side of Gotham?" Batman said,
"No I wouldn't but I've been more surprised, but just to let you know I'm bringing my team with me" Robin declared,
Batman sighed; "right, they can stay in the Wayne manor"
Robin smirked, he loved this
"See you tomorrow then" Robin said
"Ok good now that we've cleared that I've gotta catch my plane Bye!" said Batgirl running up the stairs and out of the batcave,
The screen switched off.
"Well titans early night to night" Robin said now rather grim
"Ah Robin are you sure you are gonna be ok with this?"
"Yes" he said rather quickly
"Rob..." Raven said
"Good night" he said interrupting her
And with that he turned on his heel and walked away.
Morning came far too early for robin, the sunlight seem to be mockingly
Cheerful, the titan tower was beautiful the ocean seem to reflect inside the tower,
Robin walked into the lounge where the titans were packed and waiting for robin.
The lounge was bathed in warm inviting sunlight,
Cyborg was sobbing and hugging the TV saying "goodbye baby!"
Raven was sitting on the couch reading a book,
Beastboy was filming Raven reading and Cyborg crying without them noticing,
Starfire was just staring out the window apparently looking over the harbor,
She just stood there with a blank expression on her face.

"Keep the prisoner under control!" barked the gorthian
"What if she tries to hurt us?" said one of the accomplices
"For exhal's sake! All she can do fly and she's only young she wont be strong!" He growled,
"Right" said the accomplice
The little girl looked around the chamber and continued kicking and screaming so they gagged her mouth shut,
"Hpmm ahmm!" she yelled trying to scream
Tears leaked from the little girl's eyes
"The officer tossed his head back and laughed cruelly"
His laugher rang though her ears ………………………………………….
end flashback
"Starfire are you ok?" robin asked
"Ah! She jumped
"Yeah me I'm totally fine!" and then flash him a false smile
"Hmm are you sure?" he said not quite believing her
"Just a little low" she said truthfully
He placed his hand on her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile
"Right titans into the T-ship!" he ordered getting into business (not bunnies )!!)
They all ran up on to the roof, leaped into their stations.
Started the engines,
Beastboy hanged on to the outside of the t ship
And with one foot and one hand on the railing,
While taking off,
He did a cheesy salute to the titan tower,
And swung back into the ship,
The ride to Gotham was short but painful,
Robin was not happy to be back, it was all too familiar for him.
Cyborg hovered the T ship above the huge Wayne manor,
"Ha!" Robin laughed the manor looks tiny form here!
He told them.
"Really?" Starfire said "it looks over a hundred times bigger than the Titan Tower"
"Ha!" He laughed
3…2…..1! Ready for landing! Cyborg cried .
The t ship landed on the roof of Wayne manor, Bruce Wayne (batman) was waiting for them, beside him was Alfred the butler holding a tray of refreshments,
"Ooh! Goody I'm thirsty!" Said Cyborg as he jumped out and drank his glass all in one
Robin gave him a stiff nod to Bruce which he returned,
Robin then gave smile to Alfred which Alfred returned
Starfire hugged Alfred causing the tray to go flying,
Which raven caught with her black aura
And handed back to Alfred who actually didn't seem to mind,
"This is Starfire, she's very friendly" said Robin
"And this is Beastboy, he nodded, Raven, she nodded and Cyborg
"Very impressive team Master Grayson" said Alfred
"Thanks" said robin
"The batmobile is ready to leave do you have a vehicle to follow?" Batman asked
"Do we?!" Cyborg exclaimed
"I can use my baby!" he said pushing a button on his arm which acted as remote control
Which the T-ship door automatically opened a lifted out a very impressive T-car.
"Hmm, hmm want do ya think?"
Cyborg said looking backwards and forwards to Alfred and Batman
Alfred smiled.
