Jump City-
It had been a typically normal night in Jump City. People were going about their business without a care in the world. That was until Doctor Light decided to make a withdrawal from the bank. Unfortunately for those at the bank, the not-so good doctor had no intention of using a chequebook.
'Quiver before the power of Doctor Light!' The villain crowed as he stood atop a car that had been knocked over in his initial attack on the back. 'Ha-ha-ha! That's it, run! Run from my power!'
PAF! PAF! PAF!
'What on earth…?' Doctor Light coughed as somebody threw smoke pellets on the ground, covering the surrounding area in a grey mist.
'I knew it was only a matter of time before you arrived, Titans.' Doctor Light yelled to his hidden attackers. 'I am ready for you!'
'Oh, is that right?' A female voice chuckled as the shadowy shape of somebody wearing a hooded cape rose up behind Doctor Light.
'Oh, no…' Doctor Light gulped nervously. 'Not you. Anything but you.'
'Okay. Colour me confused?' Spoiler enquired as she made her presence known. 'Have we met?'
'He thinks that you're Raven.' Robin explained. 'It's pretty hard to see with all this smoke.'
'I don't need to see to destroy you!' Doctor Light snarled as his hands began to glow.
'Oh no you don't…' Arrowette said as she let an arrow fly, hitting one of Doctor Light's gauntlets.
'Yiiiiiii!!' Doctor Light let out a piercing scream as the arrow sent several thousand volts of electricity coursing through his body.
'Heh. Electro-shock Arrow.' Arrowette grinned as she put her bow away. 'Never gets old.'
'Not finished with you… yet.' A smouldering Doctor Light grimaced as he struggled to stay on his feet.
'I think we're done here.' Rose retorted as she jumped up behind Doctor Light and pressed her sword against his throat. 'That's unless you want to end up like Marie Antoinette.'
'What, we're gonna out him in a frilly dress and a big dumb wig?' A puzzled Impulse blinked.
'No, dummy.' Superboy rolled his eyes. 'Rose is gonna… Kkrrrrt.' The half-Kryptonian clone made a throat-cutting motion with his thumb. Bert's eyes widened.
'Jeepers...'
'Y-you wouldn't…' Doctor Light gulped nervously. 'Y-you're heroes. You don't kill people. There are rules.'
'They're mostly suggestions.' Rose answered back. 'Now, are you gonna give me a reason to use this, or are you going to give yourself up?'
'I surrender.' Doctor Light sighed heavily, his shoulders falling in defeat. 'I'll come along peacefully.'
KABOOM!!
The young heroes jumped in surprise as the sound of something exploded came from a few blocks away.
'That was the Waynetech building!' Arrowette realised. 'It looks like we're going to have a busier night than we thought.
'Then Doctor Light had better wait here until the police arrive.' Robin told the defeated villain as he held out some handcuffs. 'Don't give us a reason for coming back here, okay?'
The Waynetech building, several blocks away-
Scientists ran for their lives out of the Waynetech building. The place was under attack by a gang of villains. Kitten, the psychotic daughter of Killer Moth, had formed an alliance with Billy Numerous, Private H.I.V.E., and See-More, three former members of the H.I.V.E Academy and Cinderblock.
'Get a move on, you losers!' Kitten ordered her lackeys as they carried stolen equipment out of the building. 'It won't be long until my Robby-Pooh gets here with all his dumb friends!'
'Remind me again why we let her be in charge?' Billy Numerous grumbled as he helped his copies carry out the machinery.
'Rrrrr…' Cinderblock growled as he lifted his own goodies onto his shoulders.
'Now, I don't suppose for a minute that you asked to borrow those, did you?' Superboy tutted as he and the rest of the Titans arrived on the scene.
'What is this crud?' Private H.I.V.E. sneered. 'Do we only rate getting the junior Titans?'
'Young 'uns or not, we're gonna kick us some Titan butt!' Billy Numerous and his copies grinned as they all cracked their knuckles in anticipation.
'You won't be the first ones to try, Billy!' Impulse retorted.
'Big words, squirt!' Billy Numerous snapped back. 'I kicked the Flash's butt back in the day, and now I'm gonna do the same to you!'
'Don't just stand there, idiots!' Kitten growled. 'Get the Titans!'
'You heard the girl.' Robin told the Titans. 'Let's show them what we've got. Titans: Together!'
'Dibs on the big one!' Superboy called as he flew up into the air and slugged Cinderblock on the chin. The blow made the stony villain stumble back a few steps, almost trampling Kitten in the process.
'Hey, watch it!' Kitten yelled at her rocky lackey. 'You almost steppe don me, you big idiot!'
'Now, that isn't any way to treat your lackeys, is it?' Spoiler tutted with a shake of her head.
'Who do you think you are, any way?' Kitten snapped back. 'And what are you doing dressed like that? Purple is so last year!'
'Then I guess people aren't going to like your bruises.' Spoiler quipped as she punched the blonde villainess in the face.
Elsewhere, Arrowette was taking on Private H.I.V.E. Well, she was trying to. The black-and-yellow-clad villain kept on using his shield to block her arrows.
'Heh. Those arrows are useless against me, girlie!' Private H.I.V.E. grinned as he swatted more arrows out of the air. 'They can't get past my shield!'
'Then perhaps I might be able to help.' Rose offered as she leapt into action and took a slice out of Private H.I.V.E.'s shield with her sword. 'Go on, Cissie! Take him down!'
'I'm almost out of arrows.' Arrowette responded. 'I only have one left.'
The red-clad archer took out the last arrow from her quiver. It had a boxing glove on the end.
'A Boxing Glove Arrow?' Rose smirked incredulously. 'You've got to be kidding me.'
'Hey, don't mess with the classics.' Arrowette grinned as she let the arrow fly, knocking out her foe.
POW!
'Incoming!' Superboy yelled as Cinderblock toppled to the ground. The rest of the Titans scattered, but Billy Numerous and See-More weren't so lucky.
'Aww, nertz.' See-More grimaced as Cinderblock's shadow fell upon them.
KABOOM!
The unconscious Cinderblock shook the ground as he fell down. Luckily, Impulse was fast enough to run in and grab the two villains before they were crushed.
'I hope you guys have learnt your lesson.' Robin lectured the defeated villains as Superboy bent a lamppost aroudn them, holding them tight. 'We may be young, but we can still kick your butts.'
'Hey, where's Spoiler gone?' Impulse asked as he looked around for the purple-clad vigilante.
'I think she's still going at it with Kitten.' Rose replied, indicating the two brawling girls with a jerk of her thumb.
'Cow!' Kitten hissed as she tore at Spoiler's mask.
'Harpy!' Spoiler retorted as she grabbed Kitten by the hair and gave it a yank.
'Freak!' Kitten snapped back as she pulled on Spoiler's own hair.
'Tramp!' Spoiler shot back as she slapped Kitten across the face.
Robin, Superboy, and Impulse just stood there watching the two girls fight.
'Wow. Catfight.' Superboy grinned.
'Somebody should stop this.' Robin stated, not moving an inch.
'Yeah, totally.' Impulse agreed, also staying still.
Arrowette and Rose just looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
'Pff. Boys.'
TBC…
Next: The Party for Bachelorettes
With her special day approaching, it's time for Starfire's bachelorette party. Raven wouldn't plan anything crazy… Would she?
