A/N: Eh... don't like this battle as much as I did the last one. Still better than the birthday chapter though. But then... I'm pretty sure that one's the worst thing I've written for a very long time.
Please Read and Review!
Disclaimer: *sigh.* Again? How often do I have to repeat myself? I do not own them. I do not own them. There, does that work?
Kid Flash let out a whoop of joy. "Success!" His robot slammed its foot into Hot Spot's robot's face.
"How'd you manage that?" Hot Spot demanded, squinting at his friend. "That's not a normal move."
"Double X, then L1," the fastest boy alive said, dodging Jericho's attack. "Ha!"
Jericho rolled his eyes and then pressed the buttons necessary to trip, and then body slam Kid Flash.
"Hey!" the red-head looked horrified. "How'd you learn that move?"
Hot Spot cracked up. "Serves you right! Take that!" his robot kicked Kid Flash in the face. Kid Flash watched with sadness as his health bar turned red, and then emptied. He sighed, and set the controller down. He dashed over to kitchen, made himself a sandwich, and came back to watch the showdown between his two male friends.
Jericho swung a left hook at Hot Spot, who dodged, and followed it up with a roundhouse kick to his face, which made contact. Hot Spot retaliated by seizing Jericho's foot and throwing him into the wire fence that marked the arena. Jericho got to his feet and threw another two punches, one at the gut and one at the face, both of which were dodged. Hot Spot pressed a few buttons, launching himself into the air, and landing directly on Jericho's head. The mute hero's robot was dead. "Victory!" the pyrokenetic roared.
Jericho rolled his eyes, setting down the controller. Guess Kid's paying for tonight's pizza. He signed.
"I love pizza night," Kid Flash said, getting a dreamy look in his eye, taking a big bite out of his large Baguette sandwich with cheese, ham, pickles, and mayo. At that moment, Jinx and Argent entered the room, laughing hard.
"What's up?" Hot Spot asked.
"Doctor Light," Jinx choked out.
"What about him?" Kid Flash asked, recalling the fight they and the rest of the Titans had had with the pathetic villain as he swallowed the last bite of his sandwich.
"He's… he's…" Jinx was laughing too hard to finish.
"Outside," Argent managed. "In the Channel…"
"Trying to rob a barge full of light bulbs!" The two burst into laughter again.
Why is this so funny? Jericho signed, clearly confused.
"Because we can hear him talk about how, with the Titans in America, no one will be able to stop him," Jinx choked out.
"You're kidding me," Hot Spot said, powering up. "He doesn't know about us?"
"Well, not yet anyway." Kid Flash said with a grin.
"Titans! Go!" Jinx declared, leading the charge out the front door.
"With the power of all these 60-Watt light bulbs, my power will increase ten-fold!" Doctor Light boasted to the terrified helmsmen. "And then, I shall return to America, where the Titans shall face my wrath!"
"I dunno, you're wrath seems pretty dull to me," Hot Spot declared, sending a fireball at the light-obsessed villain.
He leapt into the air. "What are you doing here? I thought all the Titans were in America!" He looked absolutely panicked.
"You're not the brightest bulb in the circuit, are you?" Kid Flash said with a grin.
"Did you fail to notice the giant T built into the cliffs?" Jinx said, gesturing to their home, which was clearly visible from where they were standing.
"We're Titans Europe. Do you want to surrender, or are we going to fight?" Argent said, crossing her arms.
He sent a bright blast of light at Jericho in response. The blond boy avoided it, and then charged with the others at the Doctor.
Jinx sent hex after hex at him, which he barely managed to dodge, while Kid Flash vanished for a second, off to do who knows what. Doctor Light took to the air, firing more blasts of light at them. Hot Spot returned fire with long columns of flame, reaching for the light obsessed man. The Doctor leapt out of the way, skidding along the length of the barge, where Argent was waiting for him. She smirked evilly, summoning her plasma, which she quickly formed into a set of hammers and started swinging at him. He rolled out of the way, dodging another set of Jinx's hexes. He got up on all fours, snarling, only to find himself face-to-face with Jericho. Jericho tilted his head, his bright green eyes staring into Doctor Light's. Jericho disappeared, and the other Titans relaxed.
"You in there, Jericho?" Jinx called.
"Yes." The voice was the same, except not. It had a younger tone, less pompous and dramatic. It was Jericho alright.
"Just stay in for a second," Jinx called, searching her pockets for the handcuffs. "I know I have them in here somewhere…"
"I have 'em," Argent said, passing the silvery cuffs to Jinx.
"Thanks," Jinx said. "Where's Kid Flash?"
"He went to get the police," Hot Spot said.
"There you go. You can come out, Jericho," Jinx said, fastening the cuffs.
"Can he stay in there a little while longer? I don't fancy a monologue about him getting revenge," Argent said.
"But that's the fun part," Hot Spot objected.
"But it's always the same one. It's always about how he will destroy us next time, he will returned greater and more powerful than ever before, and then he'll load it with light-related metaphors and references to comic books and movies," Argent said in disgust as Jericho rematerialized.
"We'll live," Jinx said flatly, as the police's speed boats arrived, just as Doctor Light started the foretold monologue. She shoved him into the boat, and spent the next few minutes discussing the legal ramifications of an American criminal being arrested in the United Kingdom with the chief of police. After a bit, Jinx pointed out that it really wasn't her problem, and excused herself.
"We'll have to report this to Robin," Kid Flash pointed out, appearing next to Jinx as they returned to their Tower. "A villain who has primarily focused on one group of Titans attacking another group of Titans automatically mandates an alert to the first group of Titans."
Argent and Jinx exchanged glances. "You know, I think you're right," Argent conceded. "He is a lot smarter than he looks."
"I think he just quoted Robin word for word," Jinx said with a smirk. Kid Flash glanced at Hot Spot and Jericho, indignant.
"Did you hear that?" he said. Hot Spot nodded.
