Chapter 7: Cyborg's Trap 3
Robin crashed into the store through the glass roof. The shards of the broken glass came, falling down like rain. He scanned the dark room for any sign of traps as usual before he proceeded.
Once again, Robin obtained a medium size sapphire violet jewel.
For some strange reason, he had always had a thing for stealing valuable jewels. He doesn't know why.
With the stolen object in hand, he halted as though he sensed someone or something was there with him.
"I would put that back in its place if I were you." a voice said. "And raise your hands up."
Robin made a small chuckle and did exactly what he was told to do. He raised his hands up in the air and turned around only to face with the Titans.
"If it isn't my best friends…the Teen Titans." Robin replied with a crooked smile.
Cyborg, who had his sonic cannon in front of him, growled. "I'm not your friend."
"Tsk. And I thought we were."
Robin narrowed his eyes behind his mask and then made a move that was all so sudden. He ducked down and swept Cyborg off the floor with his leg, making the half robot to fall. Reacting quickly, Starfire and Raven blasted their attacks at Robin who dodged them.
"Wish I could stay and chat but duties call." Robin replied.
He started to run away from the Titans until Beast Boy who was in the form of a Rhino was charging at him. At the right time, Robin performed a frog leap which made Beast Boy to miss his target.
Frustrated, Cyborg shouted. "Titans, go get him!" he yelled before slamming his fist at the floor from anger.
:(/\):
In all honesty, Robin was actually surprised. He would've thought that the Titans would've given up by now, considering the fact at how many times Robin had escaped from their traps.
But judging by Cyborg just by looking at him, Robin could tell that he isn't the type of guy to give up.
The sneaky thief had to admit though.
The traps were pretty planned out well and would've been able to catch a thief.
But Robin wasn't an ordinary thief.
If he had to be the judge of the traps, he would tell them that they needed a bit more work and some invisible lasers…
Wait, lasers?
Robin screeched in his tracks but the halt came a bit too late since he was forced to be on his tip toes and a sudden zap came across at the front of his thigh. He watched as a piece of his suit flew gently down like a feather. He then looked up and saw a hallway that looked normal but if its secret was discovered then it wasn't so normal.
Reaching out into his pocket, the escaped thief took out some smoke bombs and threw them across the hall. The bombs bounced for a bit until they exploded which revealed a tangle mess of lasers.
"Great." Robin muttered, eyeing the lasers then took off.
There were many flips such as handstand flips, back flips etc and there was one time where he had to crawl without having the knees to touch the floor because the laser was low. Needless to say, it wasn't comfortable.
Out of all the traps, he really dislikes the lasers.
Robin then continued to run until he was out of the store and turned a corner once he reached it. The thief halted in his tracks since a wall was in front of him, blocking his path.
However, walls don't bother him at all…when you learn how to climb one. Just as his was about to start climbing it, sudden lights were flashed on him which made him to be temporarily blind as he made his arms to be at his face, acting like a shield.
"Freeze!" the familiar voice shouted.
When the lights wasn't so blinding, Robin lowered his arms and saw the Titans. Raven and Starfire were on either side of Cyborg who was out of his car. He quickly figured that the lights came from the car's headlights…obviously.
Cyborg raised his arm that was changing into the sonic cannon. It started to charge up as blue lights were coming to life.
"Look man…don't make it hard than it has to be. Either come clean or it's going to be messy." Cyborg responded.
Robin started to go backwards until his back touched the wall. Seeing this, it only made the half robot to give out a grin.
"Beast boy, now!" he hollered.
Confused, Robin didn't know what was happening until a sudden crash came but before he could react, he felt something "hugging" him which made him to be unable to escape.
"What the—lemme go!" Robin replied, struggling to get loose.
As he struggled, Robin's fell at the side and noticed fur. It was then that he had put two and two together.
Beast Boy had changed into an animal and it was either a bear or a gorilla.
Robin looked at the powered up Titans who started to advance at him. He has to make an act fast. As he was thinking, he noticed that they were coming closer…until he came up with a plan. Having that in thought, he tilted his head and smirked.
"Sorry but I'm not ready to go to jail yet."
With that, Robin twisted his hand so that his facing it upwards in an odd angle and threw something in the air. The objects exploded, making the place to dazzle. When this was taking its course, Robin could feel Beast Boy loosening his grip then grabbed hold of his forearms. The sneaky thief did a back flip and pushed down Beast Boy (who was dazed from the exploding bombs) with his feet.
With the Titan down, Robin swiftly climbed the wall and disappeared.
Cyborg blinked then gave a growl of rage as he blasted the wall to smithereens.
"Alright! If you want to play like this and there will be no more Mr. Nice Guy!" Cyborg hollered.
"Uh there wasn't a Mr. Nice Guy in you in the first place." Raven stated.
Growling, Cyborg shouted. "Titans go!"
:(/\):
Robin chuckled.
That was quite an escape if he does say so himself.
As he continued to run down the flat hill, a small frown was plastered on his face. He still couldn't believe that he had almost got caught. He guessed that he wasn't sharp enough and had slightly let his guard down.
"Have you ever heard of a sneak attack?"
Robin stopped running as he heard the sudden voice. He scanned the area but what he didn't saw coming was that something was falling from the sky. It looked like a person but as it fell halfway, it changed into a form that looked like an animal.
A gorilla to be exact.
However, Robin had only seen it at the last minute so his landing was kind of rough when he moved out of the way to avoid being squashed by the gigantic fists. Instead of hitting Robin, the fists smashed the ground but because it did, it created a small shockwave that managed to hit Robin.
Guess he was in the range of that.
Robin skidded at his side on the ground until he stopped. When he did, he slightly gave out a groan but it didn't got up yet. He looked at the fierce eyes of the gorilla then down at the ground only to give out a grin.
"Don't you know that x marks the spot?" he said.
Now that made Beast Boy to change back into his human form.
"Wha—"before he could even finish the sentence, the ground suddenly gave out and took Beast Boy (who screamed at the sudden fall) along with it.
Acting fast, the masked criminal took out his grappling hook and then jumped into the abyss. With the right timing, he unleashed the grappling hook which tied a nearby branch. Robin continued to glide until he grabbed Beast Boy by the shirt and threw him out to safety.
Robin then landed on his feet as the two of them looked at each other after Beast Boy was not dazed.
"Uh did you just saved me?" the green Titan asked, being surprised.
As a result, Robin used at the top of his foot to kick him at his face which made the Titan to be knocked down. With that, Robin started to run off.
Groaning, Beast Boy (who was still confused at what just happened) took out his communicator to reply to Cyborg.
"Uh whatever number this was of the trap, it failed."
:(/\):
The burglar was utterly confused.
Why did he save that Titan when he could've let him fall to his doom?
Well not really to his doom since he could change into any animal…
"Something must be wrong with me." Robin muttered.
All of sudden, an unwelcome attack forced Robin to do a flip backwards but before he could even land on his feet, the familiar blue streak collided at Robin's stomach which made him to fly backwards.
Robin skidded a bit until he stopped. Once again, he quickly leaped backwards like a frog to avoid being smashed by the metal fists. The masked burglar then got out his birdarang and threw at the attacker who dodged it by simply moving to the side.
"You're going to have to aim better than that."
Knowing who it is, Robin spoke back. "Then I guess you have to fight better."
Letting out a roar, Cyborg raised his fist to try and smash the irritating little pest who once again avoided. Robin then brought his leg towards him only to have Cyborg to catch his ankle and then he grabbed his belt and swung him forward so that he struck the ground.
Without losing a second, Cyborg sat on his legs and wrapped his arms to be underneath his arms so that Robin couldn't use them.
"Give it up, will you?" Cyborg asked, having his signature grin on his face.
"I will…not!" Robin replied, struggling to be free.
"You know, I think you should take this opportunity!"
"The opportunity of…being strangled?" Robin responded.
"No! The opportunity to take this chance to change yourself because I told my team to give you a chance to change so you can be our leader!"
Robin winced when Cyborg's grip was getting tighter.
"How touching but I'm a thief! And I'm more of a solo person!"
With a yell, Robin finally managed to free his legs and swung underneath him. He then shortly performed another back flip before kicking Cyborg down with his feet. Acting fast, Cyborg hurriedly rolled over and blasted his sonic cannon at Robin who was straightening his sleeve.
Seeing the blast, Robin had narrowly avoided it since it brushed past his shoulder.
Robin straightened up and looked down at the fallen Cyborg who equally held the narrowed look before the masked thief walked backwards and disappeared into the night.
A/N: Okay wow…this took a long time to finish :3 but those two…Cy and Robin…gotta love them XD However…I'M DEFINITELY EXCITED FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER! *giggle* Till then! See ya!
