Chapter 9- All Part of the Job


"Rae! Get Control Freaks remote!"

Raven looked around and saw Control Freaks holding his remote and she noticed Cyborgs stance. His stance looked very unnatural for Cyborg. She quickly connected the dots and figured out that Control Freak had somehow used his remote, and gained control on Cyborg. She thought of how the best way of retrieve the remote that would be fast and effective. She couldn't think of anything for a few moments and then finally she thought of something. She called out to Beastboy.

"Beastboy! Stop running, you need to get those people away from here, and do something about all of those stuffed animals."

Beastboy looked at Raven, then at all of the stuffed animals groaned but did as he as ordered.

Beastboy morphed into a Rhino and charged towards the group of stuffed animals. While he was charging towards the group, he saw a ratty old black bear just like the one the little girl had been talking about earlier. The bear was in the back of the huge group of stuffed animals. Beastboy wanted to stop so that he would not trample the bear but by the time, he had spotted the bear it was too late to stop.

He trampled over the stuffed animals and quickly morphed back into a human and ran back towards the stuffed animals. They all lay there on the ground each one of the stuffed animals smashed into the ground. He located the bear and he saw that he had only partially smashed the bear. The left side of the bear's face had been stepped on but the remaining parts of the bear had been unharmed.

Beastboy sighed with relief and looked around to see if the little girl was nearby. She was standing with her mother and the police officers where he had left them before. He ran over towards them and handed the little girl her stuffed bear. Her face lit up and she grabbed the bear out of Beastboys hands.

The mom looked and said, "Thank you! Thank you so much! You don't know how much this bear means to her!"

Beastboy stood tall and said, "It's all part of the job! Now I need you both to clear the area." The mom and cops nodded and started to leave, "Thank you." Beastboy smiled very big at the people and was proud of him. Every time he helped people, he felt amazing and he knew he was doing the right thing in helping people. When he saved people or helped people out he didn't feel so abnormal.

Beastboy once had thought about what he would be doing right now if he hadn't become a superhero..He thought about going into the acting business. He could defiantly see himself as a famous Hollywood celebrity. He had the "movie star" looks after all. He had a really good memory and he could easily learn the scripts! He could be a serious actor, a grumpy actor, a comedic actor, he could even rock the shy type of actor. He could star in things like sitcoms, televison shows, movies, or even (if the worst thing he could do) a reality show. Beastboy could definatly see his name in lights' "Garfield Logan!" But if that didn't work out (which it probably would), he thought about being a scientist.

Beastboy had seen so many sci-fi movies and he could defiantly apply his sci-fi knowledge to the real scientific world. He could be a huge successful scientist and he would discover a whole bunch of new technology! Beastboy was intrested in finding solutions to problems and maybe, if he put his mind to it, he could discover new medicenes and things that could aid people. The more Beastboy thought about becoming a serious scientist, the more appealing it sounded.

Beastboy allowed himself a few more moments to think about things, then focused back on what was going around him.

At that time, Starfire awoke and sat up. Raven ran over to her and quietly told her something.

Starfire nodded and started to attack Control Freak with her starbolts. Control Freak pressed more buttons on his remote and Cyborg would use his sonic cannon to counter the starbolts.

Starfire would aim for Control Freak but everytime she got close to hitting him he would either make Cyborg shoot his sonic cannon at her, or she would completely miss him. Cyborg could not do anything at the moment. He was so uncomfortable and couldn't think about anything besides not hurting Starfire. That was extremely difficult because he could not accidently miss. Starfire had stayed in the same place for a long time, so Cyborg yelled out,

"Star! Move around some more! You're an easy target right now!"

Starfire responded by moving around a little more, but not to much because she did not want Control Freak to notice that Raven was going to attack him from the back. She was hit by Cyborgs sonic cannon and was knocked all the way to the ground. She got up instantaneously and started to fight again, this time even harder to make it more of a challenge for Control Freak.

While Cyborg and Starfire were doing their best not to hurt each other, Raven snuck around the side to get closer to Control Freak. Control Freak was completely preoccupied and was not paying much attention to anything besides Cyborg and Starfire.

Control Freak was standing on a huge pile of broken desks and clothes. Therefore, he was easy to sneak up on; Raven sat down near the heap of desks and clothes and silently murmured the words, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

Instantly after Raven had spoken those words her eyes started to glow black and energy seemed to radiate from her. What looked like a raven flew towards Control Freaks turned back, Control Freak was completely distracted with Cyborg and Starfire battling it out without trying to hurt one another.

Control Freak was giddy with how well his assignment was going, "Man I should have thought of this before!" He was just about to press another button when he thought of something else, "You Titans think you're sooo awesome and everything but I will win this battle before you can say Galaxy!"

Immediately after he spoke those words something attacked him from the back and fell off the pile of objects. He landed flat on his face, he looked up quickly, and Starfire could see that it looked like Control Freak had broken his nose.

Control Freak didn't quite realize that he had broken his nose, because at the time he was too preoccupied with locating his remote. He frantically searched for it and finally spotted it a couple feet away.

He tried getting up but found that all that prison food really went straight to his gut. He realized that it would be a better idea trying to roll towards his remote. He didn't get very far because Beastboy stepped in his path.

Beastboy looked down at Control Freak and couldn't help but laugh, "Wow, hey guys! Maybe he should start trying to gain "CONTROL" of his weight!"

"Good one." Raven said plainly

Cyborg was still unable to move but slowly but surely, he started to regain control of his body.

Starfire flew down to the ground and picked up Control Freak's remote. She looked at the remote then back up to her teammates, "What should we do with his remote control?"

Cyborg started to move towards the remote Starfire held in her hands, "Keep it, Robin will probably wanna keep it or somethin."

Right as Cyborg had stopped speaking a police van arrived, the van pulled up right next to the huge pile of clothes that attacked Raven earlier. On the passenger side of the van sat a man who was the police commissioner of Jump City.

Cyborg didn't particularly like the commissioner because the man didn't seem to interested in ridding the city of criminals. He did the job adequately but Cyborg thought that someone else would be more 'fit' for the job.

The Commissioner of Jump City's name was Ray Sohn. Commissioner Sohn was about average height, and had dark hair that was receding in the front; he had dark blue eyes, and a large nose. He was handsome and was about 38 years of age. He had a caramel colored skin tone and teeth that were whiter than white. He wore what looked like an expensive suit with shiny Italian shoes. He stepped out of the van when the driver of the van had gotten out.

"Hello, Teen Titans. I am so very glad that you were here helping take down Control Freak." He looked around and asked, "Where is your leader?" Commissioner Sohn had a deep and intimidating voice and his tone of voice was apathetic.

"He is dealing with another issue." Cyborg said

"Oh, I was hoping that I could have spoken with him." Commissioner Sohn said looking at Control Freak

"Well, you could always talk with us!" Beastboy said cheerfully

"No, that's alright. It's not too important."

"Well, if I may ask what's it about?" Raven spoke up

"It's a matter that involves Control Freaks break out." Said Commissioner Sohn

"Have you found more information?" Starfire asked

Commissioner Sohn looked slightly uncomfortable but spoke, "Well it turns out that the guard on duty when Control Freak escaped was a fraud."

Cyborg interrupted, "Yeah, we know that."

Commissioner Sohn looked back at Cyborg and started to scowl, "You didn't let me finish. The man who was under the false alias has been found."

Starfire started to speak excitedly, "Will he be able to provide additional information?"

"That's the problem, he's dead."

"Dead?" Beastboy asked surprised

"Yes. He was found near here actually. A bullet right through the head."

"Do you believe that Control Freak could be behind the murder?" Starfire asked

"There is not any proof that he had but once my men have investigated the scene they'll contact you." Commissioner Sohn looked as if he was eager to leave.

Raven looked back to Control Freak and saw that the young police officer who was trying to put handcuffs on him was having some difficulties. Control Freak was laying on the floor and the cop could not roll him over to put the handcuffs on. The cop was probably new to the force. Raven walked over to them and said,

"Having problems?"

The cop looked up and said, "Uhh, no. I got this."

"Doesn't look like it."

"Alright, I'm having a couple problems. Nothing too big, I got this."

Beastboy looked back at Raven and the police officer talking and he felt somewhat weird about watching Raven actually talking with another person. He watched them for a couple of seconds and then turned back to the conversation between Starfire, Cyborg, and an apathetic sounding Commissioner Sohn.

Raven felt like someone was watching her and looked back over to her other teammates. None of them were looking so Raven turned her attention back to the cop. She watched the cop struggle for a few more moments and then said, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

Control Freak was immediately on his back his hands right in the air. "There you go."

"Thanks." The cop looked relieved at the fact that he did not have to flip Control Freak over. He snapped the handcuffs on Control Freaks wrists and then spoke again, "Hey uh..could you..?"

Raven said, "I know what you're going to say. Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

The black energy that leaked from Raven's hands lifted Control Freak to his feet.

"Hey! Watch it that feels weird." Control Freak said throwing a silent temper tantrum.

"Thank you!" The youthful police officer started to half walk half push Control Freak towards the police van.

Raven watched him leave and then headed over to the rest of the team. She walked over just in time to hear the end of the conversation.

"Well now that Control Freak has been taken back into custody I think your work here is done."

Starfire looked around and saw that there still was a huge mess left over from the previous battle. She wondered who would be the one to clean up the mess. She then started to think about who cleaned up all of the messes that they have made. Obviously, someone had to do it or else Jump City would not be such a clean place to live. Starfire thought that maybe they should help out after the battles as well. But what if there was special people that depended on this job so they could feed their families. Starfire thought that she should ask Robin tonight about it. There was not much damage but the inanimate objects turned animate objects turned inanimate objects were everywhere around the mall.

Beastboy murmured a 'That was rude' after the Commissioner was mostly out of earshot

Commissioner Sohn walked over to the police van and got in the passenger's seat. Instead of the youthful cop driving this time, there was another police officer driving. Beastboy recognized the other police officer as a cop that was around when Beastboy had been talking to the mother. Beastboy made awkward eye contact with the driver right before the van pulled away.

The police van went a couple feet then stopped. The passenger side of the vans window rolled down and Commissioner Sohn stuck his head out,

"I forgot to say Thanks. So thanks."

Cyborg said, "It's what we're here for."

Commissioner Sohn nodded, stuck his head back in the window, rolled the window up and the van drove away.

Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Beastboy all looked around and then Starfire said, "Let's contact Robin."

Starfire got out her communicator and pressed the 'call' button for Robin. They all waited for Robin to respond but there came no answer.

"Maybe he is still busy dealing with the Warden." Raven suggested

"That is a possibility. Or perhaps he is at the tower, let us leave." Starfire said already flying off towards the tower.

"Y'all heard the girl, let's go." Cyborg said while looking as to where he parked his car.


Robin sat up instantaneously and realized that that wasn't the smartest idea. His head hurt terribly badly and so Robin lay back down and looked around at his surroundings. He was directly in front of Jump City: House of Corrections. It was dark outside; it was probably around eight at night. The weather was nice but it was starting to get chilly outside. Robin took a couple of deep breaths then put his head up.

He saw that his R-Cycle was right where he had left it. He must have been on the ground for fifteen minutes before he was able to get up again. He checked to see if he had his communicator and saw that he must have landed on it, because the whole screen was cracked straight down the middle.

He got on his R-Cycle and headed towards the tower.

On his way towards the tower, he thought about what had happened to him that had knocked him down. It might have been an attempt at thievery but then again, nothing had been taken out of his belt or anything else. Maybe a ball hit him in the back of the head…but there was no ball around him when he woke up and nobody would play with a ball near a prison. He was almost to the tower when suddenly he felt a weird feeling, almost as if someone where pinching him, and then suddenly Robin started to feel disturbed and annoyed.

He didn't want to know what had happened to him earlier on, all he wanted to do was either go to bed or train. Abruptly, he arrived at the tower. Apparently Robin had been going fast to have gotten to the tower so suddenly.

He got off oh his R-Cycle and took off his helmet. He walked into the tower, got in the elevator, and pressed the button that would take him to the main room. He was in the elevator when he started to get impatient, he thought to himself,

"Cyborg really should make this sluggish thing go faster"

Finally, the elevator reached the main floor. Robin got out and saw that his friends were in there. Beastboy, Cyborg, and Starfire were watching a movie. Raven was half reading her latest book and half watching the movie.

Starfire looked up and flew over to Robin, "Robin! It fills me with joy to know that you arrived here safely!" Starfire gave Robin a massive hug

Robin tried to pull away as soon as he could; he was not in the mood to be hugged right now.

"What's the matter? You seem distant." Raven looked around at Robin

"I'm just not in the mood right now. I had a long night." Robin said walking over to the refrigerator.

"Yo Rob what happened to ya? You've been gone for awhile." Cyborg said turning away from the movie. Cyborg didn't get an answer so he added another sentence, "We found out some important info and Control Freak is back in jail."

Robin completely ignored Cyborg and after grabbing a bottle of water from the refrigerator said, "I'm going to my room."

He walked out of the room and everyone looked at each other. Beastboy then said, "Wonder what's his problem."

Starfire flew back to the couch and said, "I do not know."


Slade watched Robin interact with his friends for a while, and then after Robin left to his room, and the titans had talked about it he turned off the screens.

Wintergreen walked in with a cup of steaming hot tea. "Tea?"

Slade nodded his head and Wintergreen set the cup of tea on a desk near Slade. Slade had his mask off and was in regular clothing. Wintergreen looked at the screen and saw that Slade had footage of the titan's living room.

"I wasn't aware you had cameras in there. You didn't have them there earlier."

Slade sipped his tea and then replied to Wintergreen, "When Robin was here I planted small bugs on his attire that wouldn't be visible to the naked eye. Once Robin entered the tower the bugs were easily activated and now they are all over the Teen Titans Tower."

"Clever. Have you tested out your other technology?"

Slade looked at Wintergreen and smiled, "It worked just as I thought it would."

"I never had a doubt. The bugs that you planted, were they just camera bugs or audio bugs? Also, when did you find time to make those bugs?"

"Wintergreen, you ask too many questions. They're both, and I found time awhile back I am only starting to use them now."

"I see, hopefully the plan works well and I cannot wait to see the outcome."

"Neither can I."
