Hello all!
Yes, I'm back... mainly because Corona has forced me to once again become a shut in. Never the less, I'm quite pleased that Teen Titans fanfics are still thriving. I decided to finally do an idea that I have held in this dumb noggin for a few years now.
I hope you enjoy it!
...
"It is I, handsome hunk and the biggest rival of the Teen Titans!"
The people of Jump City cringed as the ear-piercing screech erupted from every television and monitor around the city.
"Control Fre-"
"Just get on with it already Snot Freak." Another voice spoke behind him before a pair of metal spider legs could be seen moving around the background.
"Hey! Don't interrupt my monologue you midget!"
"Hey! You can't use that word anymore!"
The two bickered for a few more minutes while the citizens continued on with their respective days, completely disinterested.
"Ahem"
Control Freak cough into his hand before resuming his speech.
"Anyway. I, Control Freak, have finally managed to subdue the Teen Titans!"
This certainly caught the attention of more than a few people. some who merely watched, waiting for the villains play to ultimately fail, and some who were genuinely worried for their heroes.
The camera panned to all of the titans with various forms of restraints.
Robin was shown sitting in a chair bolted to the ground with his hands restrained behind the chair with a tight looking knotted rope. Even through the mask, it was plain to see the boy wonder was pissed.
Starfire was next to Robin but with ten more chains wrapped around her legs and a strange looking collar around her neck. Her eyelids hung low as if she wasn't entirely there.
Beast Boy had the same collar but was in a cage as well. The feral look in his eyes plainly showed his discomfort at being caged. He tried shifted but yelped when a large bolt of electricity zapped him back to normal.
Raven was next and probably was the most restrained. She not only was bolted to the chair with clamps around her wrists and ankles and the same collar as the rest. She also had a large metal device strapped around her head, covering her mouth so that she couldn't recite any of her many spells.
"And of course we can't forget our guest of honor at today's event!" The camera panned farther to the right as cyborgs powered down body came into view. He lay on an inclined table with an angry frown on his human half, obviously still alive yet unable to move his robotic limbs as Gizmo laughed manically around him. He opened a panel on the side of the robotic hero's head.
"Let's see what kind of things we can find in you, snot brain." Gizmo cackled as the screens of jump city turned black before a countdown started up.
"Now ladies and gentlemen!" Control Freak cried excitedly, "Enjoy the Titan's most embarrassing and dark secrets!"
The countdown reached zero and a video began playing.
The picture depicted a dark alley, rain pelting the concrete. The camera rose slightly to reveal three figures at the end of the alley. The people of Jump City soon realized they were watching Cyborg's memories.
"Did you really think that anyone would want to be around a freak like you?" One of the figures spoke and Cyborg continued to walk past them but they simply stepped in front of him. "You really thought even if you paid her she would spend the night with you? I mean come on." The man's face was shown through the darkness as he stepped closer to the larger man, actually poking the metal man's chest. "Do you even have anything down there anymore?" The group laughed, like hyena's tormenting their prey.
The laughter was ended however as the camera suddenly collided with the man's face as Cyborg had delivered a strong headbutt to the smaller man. The other two figures watched as their leader fell unconscious with a sickening thud.
"Oh, you're dead now buddy!" Both men pulled guns out.
Cyborg reacted immediately, gripping the one man's wrist. The gun gave a deafening pop into the air as Cyborg snapped the man's wrist. Raising his shoulder, a bullet ricochet off of his arm and he quickly delivered a strong kick into the other man's shin. It made a strange snap as the man's leg bent at an unnatural angle. A scream of agony left him as he collapsed against the dumpster behind him.
For a moment, the teen hero-to-be stood there watching the men groan in pain on the ground. However, the sounds of sirens snapped him out of his reverie and he soon set off, running through the rain.
The screen turned black once more and Control Freak's face appeared on the screen once more, a malicious smirk on his features.
"Damn, who knew the lovable robot had such a brutal streak! And without even speaking a word!"
Gizmo had considerably paled after watching the memory and seeing the pissed glare in Cyborg's eye, directed solely towards him.
"You won't get away with this you son of a bi-"
The screen turned black once more, cutting Robin off as another video began playing.
Once again, it was a dark night. but this time it showed the green changeling standing with his usually dopey grin on his face. A hand could be seen at the edge of the screen as it pulled the hood back promptly before Cyborg's voice yelled. "There! Take a good long look!" The hand pointed towards the camera. "I had an accident and now I'm a monster, alright! A cyborg!"
Beast Boy shrunk back a bit before his eyes widened. "Cyborg?" Then, as he pointed a gloved hand towards the camera a large smile stretched across his face. "COOOL!" He began inspecting every part saying, "You're like Robotman 2.0!"
After a moment Cyborg spoke again. "Your a weird little dude, you know that?"
"Haha, you called me dude." was the only response as Cyborg walked away.
The screen went black once more and Control Freak was once again on the screen. "Well... that wasn't really too embarrassing but I enjoyed it all the same! On to the next clip!"
Depicting a small green boy telling the camera to shush, Cyborg could be heard snickering as he watched Beast Boy place a ball of stinky socks mushed together with grape jelly in Raven's hood. Just as she noticed someone behind her, Beast Boy pushed her hood back up and ran back to Cyborg laughing as Raven turned around furious. Her hood dropped off of her head letting most of the ball fall to the ground as her eyes glowed a violent red. She grabbed Beast Boy with her powers and he yelped as he was lifted off of the ground. He raked the carpet floor for a moment as he tried in vain to keep himself from flying away.
He was spun to face her as she growled a low "Beast Boy!"
He was silent for a moment before he burst into laughter, pointed at her head and holding his gut as he spun upside down. There, on raven's head was a lone sock, grab jelly beginning to ooze down her forehead.
Beast Boy was soon launched down the hall and Cyborg's snickers were soon heard by the empath. He uttered a low "Oh shit." as she looked at him with four red eyes.
Then the screen went black.
"Well, that was unexpected." Control Freak turned back to Gizmo, "Hey, weren't you supposed to get bad memories?"
"I was, but I think after that first memory, he's been fighting me," Gizmo whined, zapping a part of Cyborg's brain causing his right arm to flail slightly before falling limp at his side.
"Well find some quick!" The greasy villain turned back to face the camera and smiled. "Sorry folks, just some technical difficulties. anyway, let's keep going."
In the span of two hours, Cyborg's memories were violated. Jump City saw everything, their simple pranks, outings, Terra betraying the Titans, the end of the world and then the rebuilding of the world as Raven beat her father Trigon, all the way to the trip to Tokyo.
As the Tokyo memory came to a close, Starfire had managed to break out with the help of Beast Boy who had picked the lock on her collar with a clawed finger. She broke the rest of her friends free from their bondage and the two villains were now tied up and subdued.
"Great Job Beast Boy!" Robin clasped the green teen's shoulder as he congratulated him.
"Oh yes friend Beast Boy, that was very much the quick thinking!" Starfire clasped her hands happily.
Beast Boy soaked it all in with a cheeky grin. That is until he saw the memory that began playing on the large flat screen tv above them. He recognized what was going on immediately and immediately pounced on a smiling Cyborg.
"Hey, Tin can! You can stop streaming now!"
But it was already too late as the words already left his past self's mouth.
"I don't know how it happened dude," Past Beast Boy swallowed hard looking up at his brother figure.
"But, I think I'm in love with Raven."
