Chap. 1
Invention
"Gotcha now Greenie!" "Oh yeah, well watch this!" "Hey you can't.." "Sorry just did." "Aww damn!" cried Cyborg, as he hurled his controller to the ground, as Beast Boy's car crossed the finish line on the screen. "How'd you learn that?" he moaned. "Some of us actually read the strategy guides." Beast Boy smugly replied. "Wow, you can read?" said a voice from the couch. Frowning, the green one turned and said, "Why don't you try me, Bart?" Smiling, the spiky haired boy replied, "Sorry, I just don't have any interest in that flavor." For a moment, Beast Boy sat perplexed, the his eyes narrowed as Cyborg exploded in laughter. Bart Simpson always knew how to do stuff like that; Beast Boy didn't know why Robin didn't kick him out because of it. Still it wasn't a complete surprise given his status. Bart was in truth, a costumed adventurer known as Bartman, the leader of the super-group, the WILDB.R.A.T.S from the small town of Springfield. Made up of Bart and five other members, the BRATS had been the first group to encounter Slade. Eventually they had tracked him to Jump City and struck an alliance with the Titans in order to bring him to justice. Though they had been able to stop his scheme to become a god, he was still on the run. Therefore, the BRATS had offered to remain until Slade was stopped. So far, they were still here, albeit as trouble-makers.
"You're hilarious, you know that?" Beast Boy snapped. "I know." Bart simply replied. "Now do I get to play the winner or not?" "Saddle up, man." replied Cy, handing over the controller. As Bart sat down, Beast Boy grinned. "Get ready to be beat, loser." But before they could begin, the Tower was suddenly rocked by an explosion. The three heroes went flying as everything around them shook. Then just as quickly as it had begun, it stopped. "What the hell was that?" said Bart, as he struggled to escape form under the couch. "My seismograph says it came from the lab." Cyborg replied, as he lifted the couch up. "Aren't Brett and Martin working on something down there?" asked Beast Boy, as he carefully set the TV back up. Brett and Martin were the two genius members of the BRATS. Martin Prince was a brilliant chemist, and had been one of the few great minds at Springfield Elementary. Brett was completely different. Wile he knew much of science, he was a being of magic, a hybrid of a man and a bat. He had been the one who had actually created the WILDBRATS, giving them their powers, along with most of their equipment. Recently the two of them had been working together on some sort of project, and if anyone could create an explosion like that, they could. "You don't think they blew a hole in the wall, do you?" asked Bart. "Only one way to find out." said Cy, as he made for the door. Within minutes, Bart and Beast Boy followed.
Taking the elevator, they reached the Lab door quickly, only to be greeted when they arrived. The other Titans and BRATS were all waiting outside the door. "I don't suppose you guys know what happened?" asked Bart as he stepped out. "No more then you." replied Robin. Milhouse Van Houten, another of the BRATS, replied, "I was just watching TV and then the house shook." "I hope those guys haven't done something stupid." said fellow BRAT Nelson Muntz. "I hope they are not hurt." said Starfire. Suddenly, the door opened and Brett stuck his head out. "Oh good, you're all here." He said. Before anyone could speak, Brett rushed them all inside. Shutting the door behind them, he said, "Behold our genius." Martin stood in front them, working what seemed to be a large ray gun. Mounted on a revolving base, it had a keyboard on it's side and a large lever next to it. "Oh no, you did blow a hole in the wall, didn't you?" cried BRAT Ralph Wiggium. "Just watch." Brett replied.
Moving quickly, Brett took an apple and a soda-can from the table and placed them on two pedestals. Moving back, he placed his hand on the lever of the ray. Martin gave him the thumbs up, and the bat threw the lever. The ray glowed, and a pinpoint if bright light shot forth. It went through the apple and struck the can. For a moment, nothing happened, then it turned completely red. Seeing this, Brett shut off the machine. Everyone stared for a moment, until Starfire asked, "Oh, it is a new painting tool." "You blew stuff up for this?" asked Nelson in disbelief. Smiling, Brett took the can and tossed it to his teammate. "Take a bite out of it." he said. "Excuse me?" "Just do it." Shrugging, Nelson raised the can to his mouth and slowly took a bite. He grimaced, expecting the taste of aluminum. But within minutes, his expression changed to one of amazement. "What is it?" asked Cy. "It tastes just like an apple!" Sputtered Nelson in amazement. "Lemme try." Asked Robin. Taking a bite himself, the Titans leader promptly agreed. "However did you do this?" asked Starfire. "The ray has the ability to tae the properties of one object and copy them into another one." Explained Brett. "I've been working on it for a few years, but I could never figure out the chemical equation to do something like this." "That's where I came in." said Martin. "Thanks to my help, Brett was able to get this thing to work."
"Do you guys have any idea what you've done?" asked Beast Boy. "You mean make a device that can eliminate world hunger and the garbage problem at the same time?" ("OK you need to think up a better phrase then that." said Raven.) "Well that's true, but you've also created a really cool ray-gun! Let me do something with it." Rushing past the two of them , Beast boy began to work with the buttons, trying to remember the exact combination. "Be careful!" Martin yelled. But the green one paid no heed. Suddenly, his eyes caught of a glimpse of a large, red, button. "Wonder what that one does........."
