Chapter eleven – distraction

Five of the seven Titans flew above the city. Beast Boy in pterodactyl form, Raven hovering beside him, Terra zooming along on a rock, and Starfire carrying Robin. Bumblebee had volunteered to go in the T-Car with Cyborg, in case trouble started down there. There were a few sniggers as she said this, as everyone knew 'looking out for trouble' was not going to be the main thing happening…

"Down there!" Robin pointed. True enough, there were the High Five robbing the bank. As the others touched down, Bumblebee and Cyborg climbed out of the T-Car.
"Oh no," Jinx clapped her hands to her cheeks theatrically, "The Titans!" the five villains laughed.
"We're all going to go to jail!" Private Hive groaned, before sneering. The Titans glanced at each other. The villains were certainly acting strange today – they hadn't been expecting anything but cussing and trash talk…
"Oh, look what I have found," Gizmo bent and picked up a large machine. "It looks like a nuclear gun. I wonder what it does." He recited in monotone. Then he smirked. "Prepare to get fried, snot-brains!"
"MOVE!" Robin yelled, seconds before Gizmo fired the gun. Lasers spiralled everywhere and the Titans dived and swooped, dodging the beams.
"You're going to have to do better than that!" Robin cried triumphantly, as Starfire dropped him onto a roof. Pulling three bird-a-rangs from his belt, he threw them at the gun, making it explode in Gizmo's hands.
"YOW! Crud that hurt!" Gizmo grabbed another gun and chased after Robin. Jinx, however, had other things in mind.
"This is boring. Let's have some music!" grinning, she pointed a manicured finger at a music store. CD's flew from their cases, round the female Titans, playing a jumble of tunes.
"Sixties? BORING! Let's have something a little more…up to date!" waving her hand, one CD flew up from the rest. A modern pop song played.
'Don'tcha wish your girlfriend was HOT like ME? Don'tcha wish your girlfriend was a FREAK like ME?'
Jinx smirked at Cyborg. Bumblebee had caught the jibe from the first word and flew furiously at Jinx. Terra raced after her.
Starfire and Raven turned to the third member of the High Five. He smirked and reached up, twiddling the button on the side of his helmet.
"Raven!" Starfire cried, "Cover yourself!"
"What?" Raven stared at her, then at See-More.
"Whoo!" he laughed, punching the air, "See-through vision ROCKS!"
"WHAT?!" Raven dived behind a mailbox. Starfire was already hiding behind a conveniently shaped street sign.
"You…You PEVERT!" Raven spluttered. See-More merely laughed, blasting the mailbox with one of the guns Gizmo had left. Raven scuttled behind a building, poking her nose out. Another blast from the green spandex-clad man nearly gave her a third nostril. Starfire ran behind a bench and blasted See-More with a star-bolt. He ducked and shot back at her, blowing the bench to pieces. Raven and Starfire glanced at one another. There was no way either of them could defeat See-More without going out into the open.
"Looks like we're going to have to give him what he wants…" Raven growled through gritted teeth. As fast as possible, the two girls soared up into the sky. See-More whooped and pulled out the gun, shooting at them, but missing every shot.
"See-More! Stop being immature and finish this!" Jinx yelled at him, blocking Bumblebee's blows.
"Alrighty then!" See-More raced over to the bank, grabbing the gold bars and stuffing them into a near-by bag. Starfire and Raven took the chance. First he was blasted by a star-bolt. Despite his helmet, the green energy sent him flying into a wall, where he was knocked out. Raven pulled a street sign from the pavement and wrapped it around him.
BAM!
CRASH!
Private Hive and Mammoth landed beside their comrade, and were also suspended by the metal pole. Beast Boy and Cyborg high-fived.
CRUNCH!
Gizmo dropped onto Mammoth's stomach, and Robin hurried to tie him up. Bumblebee sprinted past, Jinx hot on her tail. But before the pink-haired girl could reach Bee, Terra stuck out her foot. Jinx tripped and fell on her face. Suddenly there was a rope around her wrists and she too was caught.
The strange thing was though, none of the villains tried to escape. Jinx smiled, glancing at her friends as they were pushed into the jail cell.
"Mission Complete."
