Please review and thanks to everyone who did! I don't own the titans! Have fun!

"Fighting again, are we Mr. Robin?" Mr. Slade drawled. "But I guess after looking at your report card it's easy to see why you need someone else's homework."
Raven sat in the corner, still pale a sign of her anger. 'I can't believe that even Kitten would stoop so low.' She thought. Cyborg just watched what was going on. He had secretly set-up his MP 3 player and was listening to music. He couldn't hear a word that was said, but he could tell that they were all in trouble. BB just sat, twitching in his chair. He made little mouths with his hands and was pretending to be Mr. Slade. When he began muttering to himself, Star kicked his chair.
Star was confused. They hadn't done anything. With everyone restraining Raven, no one had even touched Kitten. This was all a misunderstanding. She stood up.
"Excuse me, but we didn't do anything. We were just set-up", Star tried to explain. BB kicked her, and after glancing down confused, she continued. "There were plenty of witnesses. Maybe you can ask some of them."
"What a good idea!" exclaimed Mr. Slade. His voice sent chills up Star's back. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. "Now let's find two fair, balanced witness who can tell us what happened. Hmmm. I know! Here is Kitten and Fang."
Out of his inner office walked Kitten and Fang. They were holding hands, the dropped each others hands quickly after they entered.
"Dude! You can't ask them!" BB exploded.
"Yeah! Kitten set us up!" Cyborg agreed.
"I don't know what they are talking about," Kitten practically purred. "I was just minding my business when they came up and threatened me if I didn't give them my homework."
"Dude! She's such a liar!" BB shrieked.
"Well that's why I brought two witnesses. Mr. Fang, lets hear your story," Mr. Slade, turned back.
"You can't ask him," Star added. "They're going out!"
"No we're not," Kitten said.
"You were holding hands when you walked in here!" Star said.
"I didn't see them holding hands," Mr. Slade replied calmly. "Mr. Robin, maybe your friends have more wrong with them than I thought."
"She insulted my father," Raven said, speaking for the first time.
"I'm sure she didn't say anything that wasn't true," Slade said smirking.
As Raven jumped up, once again all of the Titans were forced to restrain her. "You won't get away with this," Raven screamed at Slade.
"What are you going to do about it?" He said. "Who will people believe: me and my two witnesses, on the honor roll, or a bunch of pathetic little losers? Now, let's see. Fighting in the halls. Threatening a fellow student. Threatening a teacher. I'd say that's about a week of detention."
"What? But, dude, we didn't do anything!" BB stammered.
"Two weeks, dude!" Mr. Slade mimicked.
After he had ushered all of them, except for Mr. Fang and Ms. Kitten who he continued to praise, Star turned. "What's his problem?" She demanded.
"Well first, it's Kitten." Cyborg answered. "He golfs with her father."
"They're, like, best friends. Half of the money the school receives is from her and her family." BB added.
"What's second?" Star asked.
"Me," Robin stepped forward. "He used to be in charge of discipline at our old middle school. And one day I got I trouble for throwing a paper airplane."
"It might poke someone's eye out," BB mimicked.
"Well anyway, he took me to his office and did the same thing. He keep insulting me and going on."
"But he forgot one thing," Cyborg said. "Security cameras."
"He had been away the week before on vacation," Robin continued. "That's when they were installed. So he had no clue when he got back. After he threatened me, I had Cyborg break into the system and copy everything that happened onto a blank tape. I sent it anonymously to the school and they fired him.
"He took a few courses and claimed he straightened up. But he knows I sent the tapes and now that he's moved onto high school, he has an office without any security cameras."
"Why can't you complain again?" Star asked. "I mean if he's done it before..."
"He's too clever. This time he would have Kitten and Fang say whatever he wants and other times he would just say that I hate him and I'm a troubled little boy."
"We can't just let him do this!" Star seethed.
"We can't prove any of it. It's our word against his," Raven said calmly.
"I mean, the only way we could stop it is by added a security camera. And where would we get that..." Cyborg's voice trailed off as everyone turned toward him. "Well, I don't know...I mean...what if..." his voice trailed off.
"I guess it shouldn't be that hard to break in and install one," he said resigned.
Everyone's faces broke into wide smiles. It would be a long night.

Same place, 11:00
"Owww! Dude, that was my foot!" whimpered BB.
"Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it." Raven answered. "We need to be quiet."
They moved aside to let Cyborg, Robin, and Star climb through the small hole in the basement.
"How did a tunnel get here?" Star asked.
"They remodeled the school and changed the sewage system," Robin answered. "They never closed up the old hole. Students use it sometimes and just keep it a secret from the teachers."
Carefully turning on his pocket flashlight that dangled off his belt, Robin led the way upstairs. Once into the hallways, Star looked around. It seemed to different now that the lights had been shut off. The lockers seemed a lot bigger and there were strange shadows. She scooted closer to the others.
"Dude! Is this even legal?" BB asked.
"I think we're better off not finding out," Cyborg said. "Let's go."
Taking his laptop out of the bag that dangled from his shoulder, Cyborg quickly disabled the security system surrounding the office. "We have five minutes before the back-up system comes on." Moving quickly, they open the door and walked in to Mr. Slade's office.
"Where do we put it?" Raven asked. "This place is spotless, he'd notice it anywhere."
Looking around, they tried to find a good spot.
"Dude! This spot is perfect!" BB exclaimed.
"SHHHH!" Everyone whispered.
"This spot is great!" BB whispered back. He had located the box on top of the filing cabinet. The box was wooden with dark spots.
Robin whipped a small drill (what doesn't he have?) out of his belt and handed it to Cyborg. Drilling a small hole, Cyborg inserted the camera. Then, Cyborg brought up the camera's view from his computer. Rotating the cabinet and box slightly, he arranged it so the entire room could be seen. "We'll have to pick this up later, but for now, it's show time."
Everyone left the office quickly and Cyborg turned the security system back on. Back at the entrance to the tunnel, they quickly climbed through and left the school.
They could hardly wait for the next day when they could finally try out the camera.
