Titan Tower

18 years later

Beast Boy sat in front of the TV, randomly flipping through channels. It had been a quiet day, no crimes to stop or diabolical plots to foil. Even Cyborg, the party animal of the group, couldn't think of anything to do.

"This is SO boring." Beast Boy yawned as he kept flipping through the channels.

"I have to agree." Starfire said as she entered the room, "Even on my home planet we did not have days as uneventful as this."

"Ever wonder that maybe we're doing our jobs a little too well?" Beast Boy said, "Maybe we should just back off for a day or two, let the crime rate climb a bit."

"But that would mean more innocent people will get hurt." Starfire pointed out.

"It would be something to do." Beast Boy shot back.

Beast Boy heard the door open, followed by the sound of metallic feet hitting the floor.

"Hey Cy," Beast Boy yawned, "What's up?"

Cyborg answered his question by dropping a box full of weapons onto Beast Boys lap, thereby crushing Beast Boy into a pancake.

"I found something to do!" Cyborg said, a hint of glee in his voice, "We can take these weapons and shoot at some random rocks!"

"What's so interesting about that?" Beast Boy groaned as he lifted the box of his lap.

Cyborg stood there for a minute, staring at Beast Boy with a dumb found look on his face.

"Your right, stupid ideal." Cyborg sighed, "But can ya blame me? It's been nearly 2 weeks and not a single crime at all. Makes me wonder if we're doing our job too well."

"Exactly what I just got done saying" Beast Boy said.

Suddenly, the communicator on Beast Boys waist started going off. Beast Boy reached down & grabbed it.

"This is Beast Boy, what's up?" he said lazily.

"This is Robin!" came the voice of Robin, "There's a robbery in progress on North Street & Main! Get down here now!"

"Is this another one of your jokes?" Beast Boy said with a yawn, "because if it is, I'm not falling for it."

Suddenly, the signal broke and static filled the screen.

"Robin?" Beast Boy said, "Hello? Robin?"

Beast Boy sighed as he pocketed the communicator. He then pushed himself off the couch.

"Get Raven," Beast Boy said to Starfire, "Might as well check it out."

"Eat this ya little twerp!" one of the robbers yelled as he sprayed a hail of bullets at Robin. Robin quickly jumped behind a pedestal and crouched down.

"Where are they!?" Robin said to himself, "I told them to get down here immediately, not when the next messiah comes!"

Robin then jumped out of the pedestal and threw a smoke bomb at the robber. The entailing smoke cloud provided Robin enough time to run over and deck the robber in the face, sending the crook spiraling into the ground. This action was answered with two more streams of bullets from the robbers' companions. Robin ran back and jumped behind the pedestal.

"Where ARE they!?" Robin yelled.

Suddenly, the bullets stopped. Robin peeked over the corner to see what was going on. The robbers just stood there, staring at something with big eyes. Robin looked at where the robbers where looking and gasped.

"I don't believe it" Robin thought out loud.

Standing in front of the robbers was an angel clad in a set of black armor and touting a sword Cyborg would have trouble wielding. The angel just floated there, not making a sound.

"G..Get him!" one of the robbers finally screamed as he pointed his gun at the angel. His partner followed suit and began firing at the angel.

The angel moved quickly. He brought his shield up and blocked the bullets while flying straight for the robbers. The resulting crash knocked one of the robbers for a loop and sent the other one into a nearby wall. Robin watched as the robber fell to the ground with a crash. Both robbers were out, there was no getting up from that blow.

Robin stepped out from behind the pedestal and slowly walked toward the angel.

The angel was kneeling over one of the robbers and was muttering what sounded like some kind of prayer. As Robin got closer, the angel slowed down his speaking. It was only when robin was right over the angel's shoulder that the angel stopped.

"That was some pretty cool footwork." Robin said with a hint of fear, "I've never seen anything like that in my lifetime."

"And you never will again, Robin of Gotham," The angel said as he got up, "for I have come to banish all evil from this world. You have allied yourself with the forces of darkness once in you life and although you returned to the light, you still must pay for your sin."

Quicker than Robin could act, the angel was up & has his sword drawn.

"Prepare yourself," the angel said, "for today you pay for your sins with your life. May our lord show mercy on your soul, pitiful fool."
