Chapter 3: A Tip

"You were lucky last time, metal man! But it looks like your luck just ran out!" Jinx's hexes had caused Cyborg to become totally immobile, forcing him to endure whatever they threw at him. Nearby, Cinderblock was laughing in a deep, raspy voice. But they were in for a surprise.

Out of the shadows of the high walls of the prison, Beast Boy put an end to Cinderblock's mockery by charging at him in his large triceratop form, causing him to stumble over backwards and fall with a loud thud. Taking her attention off Cyborg, Jinx concentrated at firing her hexes at the swift Beast Boy, who had now changed into a cheetah. Suddenly, he disappeared. Jinx was taken aback and lost her concentration. Beast Boy had, in fact, turned into a mouse, making him hard to see in the tall grass. When he was close enough to her, he changed into a rhino and knocked Jinx high into the air. Moments later, she fell onto the cold concrete ground outside the prison, apparently unconscious. The spell was lifted off Cybrog, but now Cinderblock was rising, and they would have their hands full again. Cyborg made a motion at Beast Boy to distract Cinderblock, and he nodded. Changing yet again into a cheetah, he made taunting face and growls at Cinderblock, who started to chase after him. Beats Boy ran around in circles, and Cinderblock stupidly followed. 'This is too easy,' he thought to himself. Meanwhile, Cyborg used his cannon to drill a large and deep hole. After a long while, it was completed to his satisfaction and Beast Boy noticed he was done. He ran toward the hole, with Cinderblock behind him like a magnet. Closer and dangerously closer he came to it, with no signs of stopping. At the last moment, he turned into a bird and flew over it. Cinderblock, unable to stop himself, was hurtled into the hole.

While this had all been happening, the prison guards had come rushing out to apprehend the two escapees. "Put 'em somewhere they can't get out of," Cybrog told them. They nodded, and, with the two titans' help, put the cuffs on the Cinderblock's hands and carried Jinx inside. Now sweating, they high-fived each other and laughed. But suddenly they heard Cinderblock's raspy voice coming after them.

"Celebrate while you can, teen fools! But you'll regret this if you ever wish to see your friend again!"

BB and Cyborg looked after him with shocked looks on their faces. "You think he was serious about Starfire?" Cyborg wondered out loud.

"Nah, he's probably just bluffing."

"No, he can't be! We had captured him before that incident down by the river. There'd be no other way he'd know, unless..."

"Slade. He's gotta be the one behind this. Well, we're gonna pay him a little visit tonight, right Cy?"

"Hell yeah! I'll whip him so bad he'll wish he never messed with us!"

And so the two young titans traveled back to the tower; Robin had come back from the hospital. He had a sort of dazed look on his face.

"You all right, Rob? You're listening to what I'm sayin', right?"

With the same look on his face, he replied. "Yeah, yeah, I got you. We have to go see what Slade knows tonight."

"Good boy," Cyborg said sarcastically. "How's Raven doing?"

Robin blushed slightly at the mention of Raven's name. "Uh, she's okay. She's doing much better now."

"You wanna wait till she's better, or do you need to take care of this tonight?"

"Who knows what Slade is planning to do with Star? That is if he even has her. We gotta check this out tonight."

A/N: Good place to leave you hanging, huh? Next chapter will have some more action, fluff, jealousy, etc. Review and tell me what you think. Stay tuned.
