I left people in suspense! YAY FOR ME!!

Chapter 3

"Titans, go!" Robin cried, taking his bird-a-rang out of his utility belt. He threw it at the pus demon with all his might. Plasmus grabbed it in his hand and threw it off to the side. He spit as hard as he could and forced Robin to the ground with a gross, hard thump. He took one of the little bombs and threw it in one of Plasmus's many yellow eyes. The eye exploded and green body fluids came pouring out. They spilled all over Robin and filled his mouth with gross bodily fluids. Now it was Starfire's turn! She threw a storm of star bolts at the monster to see if he would melt. Just her luck.

"Plasmus is unaffected!" she cried, floating down towards the rest of the Titans. "I feel as though he is invincible."

"He can't be!" Cyborg objected. "I mean, seriously, do you really think that a puddle of muck like that would be invincible? He must have some weakness!"

"What is it?"

"Let's find out!" Cyborg opened up his right arm and powered up the sonic boom as far as it would go. When he was ready, he fired it at Plasmus at full force. Plasmus roared something and made a few pieces of his body jump out to stop the sonic boom from harming him.

Raven tried her best to keep all of the other heroes under control. {Why don't they just help out?} she thought.{ Perhaps all of us together could destroy Plasmus once and for all.} The thought buzzed in Raven's brain, but she kept it to herself. After all, who was going to listen during an attack on a party? It was rare if you ever found someone that took his or her attention away from a party when there was still pizza on the table.

"We should try to evacuate all the guests," Raven told Beast Boy. "That way, there won't be any distractions towards Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg."

"Good idea!" Beast Boy agreed. He turned into and elephant and herded all of the guests out of the club. Raven used telekinesis to force a few scared ones out the door. The really stubborn ones tried to wriggle their way out of the dark magic. Raven gave it a little bit more power and pushed everybody outside.

"Stay out there until we say it's okay to come inside!" she called, and she closed the door up and locked it. She quickly turned back to the team. Robin was on his feet again, catching his breath. Raven felt a slight zap from behind her and turned to see the faces of old friends.

"We shall help!" Lightning announced. He turned to Thunder. "Come, Brother! This is our chance to use our powers and gifts for good."

"We will be good heroes?" Thunder anxiously asked.

"Yes!"

"Then let us help destroy the muck-monster!"

"You might want to try 'Plasmus'," Raven corrected smirking. What she didn't know was that Plasmus was getting ready to throw a giant bowling ball of pus at her. He rolled down his arms and formed the ball. He aimed and...FIRE!!! He threw it with all his might at her.

"Look out!" Raven jerked her head around only to be caught up by something. She looked over to see Blackfire! She had grabbed Raven and flown up into the air. Raven looked over to the old enemy with surprise.

"You have your powers back," she whispered.

"No, not really. I can only fly," Blackfire corrected. "I can't throw star bolts yet. Your sister's spell is temporary when it comes to movement."

"You're lucky. She won't cast it again."

"Yes, I'm aware."

Blackfire placed Raven down on the floor and flew off to help Robin stand up straight. Raven used telekinesis to move the table up and threw them at Plasmus in hopes of maybe popping another eye. Instead, he grabbed the two of them and chucked them back from whence they came. Raven levitated out of the way as her eyes flashed white.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" she cried, holding one arm up in the air. A beam of black magic flew out from her palm and hit the monster in the arm.

Thunder and Lightning were doing their share of fighting, too. Lightning created a bolt to throw at the monster. Cyborg pulled his sonic boom cannon out and aimed for the bolt. He fired and the two hit Plasmus with incredible force. It created a hole in his stomach.

"Boo-yah!" Cyborg shouted. "Looks like you won't be eating any more of that toxic crud!"

Plasmus looked up at Cyborg and created a completely new stomach by forming the rest of his body together. Thunder saw this and created a giant clap in hopes of bringing the demon off balance. It worked and Plasmus slipped on his own goop.

"My turn!" Beast Boy shouted, turning into a boa constrictor. He slithered over to the monster and wrapped up his arms and legs together. Plasmus tried to wriggle his way out of the strong grip.

"Star!" Robin called. "Give us a laser show!"

With these words, Starfire's eyes turned bright green and flashed. She made them create beams, which shot down at Plasmus. The creature writhed in pain.

"Victory is ours!" Starfire cheered, flailing her arms like a real cheerleader.

{Not yet,} Ebony thought. She hoisted her hands out and used her power to create a giant sheet of darkness. Raven saw this and added her power. Together, they made a blanket of shadows. It covered Plasmus up.

After a few minutes of watching and waiting, Ebony and Raven lifted the veneer to see a sleeping man. Beast Boy called up the police over in a dark corner. Ebony looked down at the defeated enemy.

{Why didn't we just sing him a lullaby?} she thought.

Later, when the police and Titans were preoccupied with Plasmus, Robin ran out of the Jump City Club and off to the end of the pier. He found Jinx sitting on the end of the dock.

"Hey," he said quietly, sitting down next to her, "I'm sorry we weren't able to finish our dance."

"It's not your fault," Jinx protested, her gaze not moving from the full moon. "It's the fault of Plasmus and my Hive members."

"Did they send him?"

"No."

"Then who?"

"I don't know."

The two sat in silence for a little bit. Ebony hovered overhead looking down upon them. She crossed her arms and wrinkled her nose. She really hated Jinx for being a part of Slade's plan when she had died for the second time. She didn't know what Robin saw in her.

{Of course, I'm a girl, so I obviously wouldn't know,} she thought.

She watched the two out on the dock for a little while longer until she realized that the Titans were about to leave. She looked to Robin. "Let him stay," she told herself. "Besides, I've got to get home to visit Raven. She's going to dream tonight."

Ebony disappeared into thin air, leaving a few sparkling pieces of dust behind. Robin quickly jerked his head around when he felt the icy pieces fall onto his cape.

"Is something wrong?" Jinx asked, worried.

"No," Robin replied. "I'm just thinking."

Jinx was satisfied and turned back to the night sky. Robin scratched his chin and looked down at the murky water. He saw himself. Next to him was a little crystal that landed in the water.

{Ebony,} he thought. {She was here. I wonder...no. She couldn't have sent Plasmus.}

He stopped short.

{But if she didn't, who did?}
