Hey everyone! I hope all of you had a great Christmas. Ok here is Chapter 4!
Disclamier: I don't own the Teen Titans but hey I own this story that makes me feel a little better.
Chapter 4: Jump City
At Titans Tower:
The four superheroes stumbled into the common room. They had just gotten back from another bank robbery. They had all changed in the last four years. Robin had become Nightwing. Raven had changed her suit to a white one as her powers got more under control and then again sometimes they were out of control. Beastboy had grown taller and was stronger. Cyborg hadn't really changed except he aged a little. They weren't teenagers anymore.
" I can't believe he got away!" Cyborg yelled as he pounded his fist on the table.
" Well he did." Raven said solemnly.
" We need help. I wish Star-----" Beastboy was cut off.
" We don't need help we just need to learn how to work as four not five." Nightwing said.
" Well we wouldn't need to if it weren't for you!" Cyborg yelled. "I thought you were supposed to lead us not drive our team members away!"
" Cyborg." Raven said trying to stop him before he said anything he would regret.
" No, Raven. You know I'm right. If it weren't for Nightwing Starfire wouldn't have left and we wouldn't be in this situation!"
Nightwing grew angry at the mention of Stars name. " Well she's gone. You know you don't do so good in battle either maybe you should stop working on your car and actually make an effort to fight!"
Cyborg's eyes narrowed. " Well the only reason why I work on my car so much is to drown out the yelling of Super Girl and you."
" Well she's not here anymore."
" Oh yeah that's right. You drove her away too." Cyborg said coldly.
" Stop it! God damn it! Just stop fighting.!" Raven yelled her eyes going red. She clamed down and they went back to normal. " I'm going to go meditate." and she walked out of the room.
" I'm going to go work out." Nightwing said as he too walked out of the room.
Beastboy put a hand on Cyborgs shoulder. " Hey man it's ok."
Cyborg shook his head. " No….it's not."
Raven and Nightwing walked down the hallway. They were about to separate and go different ways when Raven said. " He was just mad. He didn't mean it."
Nightwing sighed. " He meant it. I know you guys said you forgave me but I know you all still blame me for Starfire's leaving. And now Super Girls. Cyborg's right I'm not a good leader. I don't know why we're still together but I do know we're hanging on by a thread."
" You're a good leader but we, together, just aren't a good team anymore." Raven started to walk away .
" I did love Star. I do love Star." He said.
Raven turned and said, " I've always known that." Then they went their separate ways.
Raven sat on her bed with her legs crossed. " Azarath- Metrion- Zinthos." Raven tried to mediate but it didn't work. She laid down and closed her eyes. Her powers were all whacked out they had been that way for four years. Starfire had been her harbor the place where she could let the emotions, even though they were few, out. Raven was more than often in her room trying to control her powers. She separated herself from the others and became more isolated. They all had their ways of dealing. Cyborg often locked himself in the garage for hours at a time, working on his car. Beastboy played video games more. He didn't make so many jokes anymore instead he got more serious. Robin soon became Nightwing and wrapped himself up in work and training. Super Girl didn't really need to deal but she was stuck with a broken team.
Raven sighed. They were going to all break up soon. The end was coming.

Nightwing punched the bag harder and harder. He had become so isolated ,so non human since Star left. It was his fault. He loved both women but chose one over the other. Then he realized he had chosen he wrong one.
:Flashback:
Nightwing walked into his and Super Girls bedroom. She was packing her things in a bag. They had been dating for four years and today was their anniversary. They were supposed to meet for dinner. But Nightwing had forgotten.
" Were are you going?" Nightwing said as he walked into the room.
" The Justice League." She said coldly.
" Why?"
" Why? Is that really a question? I'll tell you why. I just realized that I have wasted four years of my life with a man who didn't even love me but another woman!"
" Super Girl. Of course I love you."
" Maybe once. But don't tell me you don't love Starfire. I've seen her picture in your drawer. How do you think that makes me feel? How do I compete with someone who isn't even here?!" Super Girl picked up her bags and headed towards the door but Nightwing stopped her.
" We can work this out."
" No we can't. We're always fighting!" Super Girl yelled.
" Please!"
" I don't love you!" Super Girl yelled.
" You don't?"
" Yeah that's right. I don't . I did though. But sometimes love dies. Our love died because of your love for Starfire!" Super Girl yelled as she ran towards the front door. The rest of the Titans followed , just staring.
" Please stay. If not for me then the team." Nightwing said desperately.
" What team?" Super Girl said coldly as she walked out the door.
:End Flashback:
Nightwing was pulled out of his memory when the punching bag exploded. He fell on his knees.
Super Girl had been right. He did love Star but he realized he loved her too late. She was gone. Hell she might be dead. Don't think that! he told himself.
But it might be true, the other voice in his mind said, you haven't heard from her in four years. She might be lying in a ditch somewhere just wasting away.
No she's not! Nightwing thought fighting himself.
Well she might be but do you care?
Yes! I love her!
Well if you love her then why did you sleep with Super Girl?
I didn't know. I didn't know I loved her.
But in some why you did. And now she might be dead thinking you hate her.
But I don't!
But she probably hates you. Just like the others. They all hate you Robin you're a bad leader and we both know it.
But Raven said---
What Raven said means nothing. Your team is going to split up and it's all your fault.
Stop it!
You know I'm right.
" Stop it!!" Robin yelled out loud. He looked around. Wiping the sweat off his forehead he stood up. He walked to his room and got into the shower.
He leaned up against the wall breathing heavily. He banged his fist on the shower wall and some tile broke. He got out and got dressed.
He was going to go out into the common room when he passed a door that read Starfire. He opened it and walked in. It was dark and only lit by some moonlight. He laid down on the bed and picked up a teddy bear that had been left. He hugged it tightly. It smelled like her. He looked over on her dresser and there was a picture of him and her. They were on a bench eating ice cream and were making funny faces. He remembered that. A tear slipped out of his mask. And he fell to sleep on her bed.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The alarm went off. Nightwing awoke the clock said 9:00pm. He stood and went to the common room where the others already were.
" What's going on?" he asked as he walked in.
" That guy Crytpicus that broke out from a prison in New York is here. Looks like he made himself comfortable at a warehouse on the harbor after taking out about 5 guards."
" Well lets go put him back in prison. Titans go!" Nightwing yelled and they all rushed down to the garage.
The warehouse came into sight. Nightwing was on his motorcycle. Raven was flying and Cyborg and Beastboy were in the car. They stopped and got off.
" My sensors say there's someone in the warehouse." Cyborg said. They quietly made their way into the warehouse. When they got in all was dark.
" Dudes I don't think anyone is here." Beastboy whispered. " I think we should-----"
" Beastboy where did you go?" Raven said. " Beastboy answer m------"
" You two?" Cyborg asked he turned no one was behind him. " Nightwing there gone!" He turned and Nightwing was no longer beside him.
" What the hell is going o-------" Cyborg started to say but then he was grabbed by the neck by something and was moved up against the wall. The lights turned on. Cyborg looked to his right. On the wall also were Raven, Beastboy, and Nighwing all chained up and gagged. Cyborg was about to say something just as a metal bar covered his mouth.
A tall man with black hair with a gray streak down the side came forward. He smiled. "Well it's the famous Titans. You all were easier to catch then I thought. But this is what you get when you try to interrupt my stealing. Now sadly I'm going to have to kill you. Too bad though I would've loved a fight."
" Well then Crytpicus it's your lucky day cause you're going to get one." a sexy hard voice said from the rafters above .
" Twilight! How did you find me?" Crytpicus yelled.
" Easy I just listened into a police call ." the Twilight answered.
" Well that was naughty and illegal." Crytpicus said grinning.
" Whatever it takes."
" Show yourself girl!" Crytpicus yelled.
" As you wish." then a figure fell from the rafters and landed on both feet. The woman had black high heel boots on that were covered by black leather pants. She had a black halter top on that showed her midriff and a bit of cleavage , she wore a choker with arm bands. Her hair was a fiery red and her eyes jade green.
The Titans recognized her instantly. STARFIRE!!!!!!

Twilight stood with her hands on her hips. Her and Daredevil had gotten to Jump City and decided to spilt up to took for Crytpicus. She had gone to the police station and gotten off the cycle when she heard a call from someone to a cop about a man fitting Crytpicus description at a warehouse. She had gone to the warehouse and hide in the rafters waiting until the right moment to let her presence be known. It had been only when she landed that she noticed the Titans who were know staring at her in shock but she kept her cool.
" Twilight how lovely it is to see you." Crytpicus said.
" Hello Crytpicus. It's nice to see you but I'd rather it had been with you behind bars." Twilight said not smiling.
" Oh, yes I remember when you and Daredevil put me there!" He yelled angrily but then added with a smile hoping to catch her off guard. " But I bet you two screw each other, don't you….Starfire?"
" Actually we are sleeping together and it's not Starfire anymore." she said coolly. " But let's get off me and back to you. What are you here to steal?"
" You mean stole, past tense my dear." he smiled. "But sadly we have run out of time. I have an appointment."
" With whom?"
" Like I'd tell you. Don't worry my dear I have a way for you to pass time." he snapped his fingers. "I'd like you to meet my robots. You guys have a great time." then he turned and walked away as 50 robots surrounded Twilight.
Twilight took out her metal poles and spun them around. She looked down and saw a piece of wood and a light switch by the wall nearest to her. She smiled.
" Before we fight I think you all should know that I like it with the lights off." with that she used the top of her heel to kick up the wood into the air and then hit it so it hit the light switch, turning all the lights off. She flipped behind them in the dark. And started using her poles by driving them through their heads. The robots started to fire and all the Titans could see was the lights of the gun shots. Then the lights went back on because a robot had turned them on. On the floor were about 17of them, all were disabled and Twilight was no where to be seen.
" Where is subject Twilight?" One robot asked just as he finished his head was knocked off by a heel.
" Miss me boys?" Twilight smiled. The robots opened fire but Twilight took out her poles and spun them around all the bullets hit the spinning poles guarding Twilight and bounced off. Twilight jumped and at the same time ran the poles in the two heads of the robots. Before they fell she used the two poles and lifted herself higher and kicked a few other heads off . She landed on her feet. But there was about 30 left.
" Ok fuckers who wants a bullet?" She said raching into her back pockets and taking out two guns. She strated firing and they fired back. She doged all shots and shot them more. Then she was conred up against a wall and the robots were closing in. She looked up and there was a lifting hook. She jumped and took hold and started climbing up the chain until she reached the rafters. She ran across them firing and one by one they fell to the ground. When there was about 17 still left she ran out of bullets. She jumped to the gorund.
She took out two knifes with a sharp blade. She motined her fingers as if to say come here. The robots charged and Twilight ducked while cutting them in half with the sharp blades. She now used hand to hand battle technique. She flipped forwards intill she met the last 15. She kicked three into a fishing net and using one of her knifes she cut the rope holding it down. The net closed in on them and rasied them high into the air. She jumped backwords as she put one of the knives back in her pocket. The 12 robots advanced on her.
They thought they had her. The Titans thought this too. Twilight looked up and saw a gas pipe. She jumped and using little strength she pulled out a small part of it out from celling. She held the skinny tube to them. The she reached into her back pocket and pulled out a match. She lit it and threw it in front on the pipe which instantly lit into fire. She shot it in their diection. Each was bruned as they came towards her. After she put the pipe back into place.
The Titans stared in shock. They had been shocked when they first saw her but now where deeper in shock because, without any powers, she had took out 50 robots in less than 3 minutes. Twilight ran to the middle of the building which had a skylight just in time to see Crytpicus getting into a hellicopter.
" Shit!" she yelled and ran up the staris leading to the roof. She had been gone two seconds when Daredevil brust through the warehouse door. He saw the, now disabled robots, on the floor. He rushed over to Cyborg and let him go.
"Where's Twilight?!" He yelled. Cyborg who was still in shock pointed up. Daredevil rushed up the stars. Cyborg quickly relased the others and they rushed up too.
Twilight ran out the door and onto the roof. The hellicopter was just taking off. Daredvil rushed out, the Titans right after him.
They all thought it was too late but then Twilight turned. " Daredevil locator!" He threw her a little round thing. Twilight started running. The hellicopter was now in the air and just off the edge of the roof.
With a running start Twilight jumped off the roof and just catched the bottom of the hellicopter. She hung off it, barley holding on. The Titans and Daredevil watched in shock as the hellicopter rose higher then turned left and once again went over the roof. Crytpicus didn't know Twilight was on. Twilight took the round device and put it on the bottom of the hellicopter, and turned it so a red light was bilnking. She did that just in time too cause right at that second she slipped. She fell from the sky and landed on her right side on the roof. Crytpicus rode off into the distance.
Daredevil rushed over to Twilight. He held out a hand and helped her up. She stood and they walked back over to the Titans.
Daredevil held out a hand. " Hello you must be the Titans."
Raven snapped out of the shock and shook his hand. " Hi. Thanks for saving us."
" Welcome. Oh, this is Twilight."
" We've met." Twilight said coolly not holding out her hand. She winced noticing for the frist time that her right shoulder hurt.
" You okay?" Daredevil asked concerned.
" Shit! Yeah, I dislocated my shoulder when I landed. Just a second." She held her right elbow in her left hand. And she thrusted it upward. There was a loud pop and a slight wince from Beastboy. " It's fine now. Happens all the time." Twilight smiled.
Nightwing looked down lost in his thoughts. Oh, my God she's gotten even more beautiful. Then he remembered what Crytpicus said.
" I bet you two screw each other don't you…..Starfire?"
"Actually we are sleeping together and it's not Starfire anymore." Robin had to agree that was true. She had changed. She had a deeper voice and sounded like she had lived on Earth her whole life. She no longer had powers and was a great fighter without them. She might be better than him. And she was with Dardevil. Nightwing looked up just in time to see Daredevil slip his hand around her waist. He looked higher. His and Twilight's eyes met. She quickly looked away.
" Well we came here looking for Crytpicus after we found out he had escaped from jail. When we got here we split up to look. When I found nothing I came here and saw Twilights motorcycle. Sorry if I was a bit rough with you, Cyborg, is that right."
Cyborg smiled. " Yeah it's cool." Just then they saw the lights of a police cars.
" I think we better go." Twilight said quickly.
" Yeah there's still a warrant out for our arrests." Daredevil said.
" Arrests?" Raven asked.
" Well, yeah when you're a rouge superhero sometimes it's hard not to be wanted." Daredevil smiled. Just then a light shone on the Titans from above they all looked up and saw a police hellicopter. When they looked back Daredevil and Twilight were gone.
" That right there was some freaky shit." Cyborg said.
Nightwing looked towards the road just in time to see the lights of a motorcycle disappear.
