A/N: I'm so freakin sorry I couldn't update sooner. One of my fics got deleted, even though the reason why it did had nothing to do with it… I wonder if these people even know what grammar and spelling are.
And, due to the fact that I was on Spring Break, I didn't think I needed to update, because I wanted a break!
AND HOLY CRAP! (spaz) I GOT TICKETS TO GO SEE LYNYRD SKYNYRD AT THE RODEO! YAY! It's not until March 18, though, but I just thought I would let you guys know!
Anyway, Reviews!
To Knyt3-Owl: Hey, thanks! I'm glad you like it so much!
To bbslilangel: (smiles) Thanks!
To TitanGhost: Um… I forgot what some of your ideas were. (falls on the floor) (stares at you in shock) YOU GOT IT WRONG! (wonders if the apocalypse is coming) I can't believe you got it wrong after being right and stuff! I guess people aren't perfect. (glares at ff.n) Thanks for deleting the first chapter of my miniseries, by the way. No, TitanGhost, I'm not talking to you! (smiles) My miniseries got deleted for some reason. It was stupid. I SHALL REPOST AGAIN!
To Titansfan: Stop laughing! You'll suffocate and die on me, and then everyone will say Triforce90 killed him/her… I don't know what gender you are. (sweatdrops) Ooh… another person got it wrong! Amazing… Robin is not brave! He is a pussy! Or he is from the way I see him. (rolls eyes) The author will now take any sharp objects that the Robin fans wish to throw. (waits for a barrage of objects. Nothing comes)
To afterdark: Oh… Mules are good, too! I like mules. They… um… make mule noises. (presses #) I shall wait for my mule to arrive. (waits)
To CreatorOfKitty: Really? I'm… glad… I guess… I'm glad you don't eat raw vegetable, too!
To VeelaChic: It rox my sox that I rocked your sox. YAY!
To disappearer/Syani: Ooh… I thought you were dead or something! Um… due to the fact that I still have no idea what was so insulting, I'll just smile and nod… And, also, due to the fact that you're just one Reviewer, I'm not going to change anything that you think should be change. I am not going to change my style of writing just because one person thinks that some of the stuff sucks. And no, I'm not saying this to you because I think you're a jackass. I would be saying this to my other Reviewers, as well. All of your opinions really don't matter to me! (smiles) And thanks for the luck!
To Ra: HOLY CRAP! THAT IS A HUGE REVIEW! (ogles) I just happen to like my chemistry teacher… though I absolutely hate the class. Though I absolutely love your support of Robin bashing, Robin must be used in this chapter. FORGIVE ME! (cries) Are you saying that you liked the Harry Potter guest appearance, because ONE PERSON DID NOT! (stares at disappearer/Syani) Of course, not like I actually care.
Enjoy!
Starfire glared at the many objects in the living room from her cage in the corner.
Once they had gotten home from the party, the four Titans had contemplated on what to do with the Tamaranian. It was decided that Raven would keep her unconscious while Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy built a cage for the Tamaranian to stay in.
After several minutes of wondering, the three Titans had made a synthetic material that would be able to hold Starfire in for the rest of her life, if need be.
What was the material, you ask? Well, it was quite simple, really. Of course, Beast Boy was the one who had thought of it, and hopefully the Titans would be able to market their new material.
It was plexiglass coated with Windex.
Now, Starfire had been in her Windex prison for five hours. It was quite boring, in fact. The only time she would have someone to snap at was when they would give her food by forcing it into a tiny hole at the top of the cage.
Now, all was quiet, for the Titans had turned in for the day.
Starfire, realizing that the only thing she had left to do was sleep, curled up in a ball and closed her eyes. She drifted in and out of sleep for a little over an hour, but sleep finally took over her body.
Until the sound of shattering plexiglass could be heard. Wait… How could it be? Was it possible?
Starfire awakened and saw what was before her. Alas! Right in front of her!
She was free…
Somehow, the plexiglass had been shattered! She could finally murder the Titans!
She got up and crawled towards the opening, expecting that all was well.
Until someone tackled her…
"RAAAAAAAAAAAR!" she screamed, now feeling the pain of one's hair being ripped out.
"BOW BEFORE YOUR BETTER!" shouted a voice from above the alien.
Starfire, however, kicked her hind legs, sending whatever was on her into a nearby wall.
But that wasn't enough to stop the attacker! Instead, the attacker only seemed to be more determined!
Thinking quickly, Starfire flew into the air and hurled a barrage of starbolts at the attacker. The attacker managed to avoid the attacks while managing to jump just as high as the Tamaranian had flown. Once the two became face level, Starfire screeched as the attacker dropkicked her in the stomach during mid-flight. Starfire flew through the air, unable to do anything due to the fact that the wind had been knocked out of her.
Starfire hit a wall that had, unfortunately, been placed in her path, and the young girl crashed through it, continuing to fall towards the churning bay below.
Starfire back-flopped. Ouch. As a double ouch, she began to submerge, due to the fact that there was no air inside of her thin body to keep her floating.
Damn you, buoyant force. I curse you.
The attacker stuck his head out of the broken wall and looked down into the bay. Noticing that no body was floating, he flung his arms into the air.
"VICTORY!"
"I want to ride my bicycle!
I want to ride my bike!
I want to ride my bicycle!
I want to ride it where I like!"
A knock on the door! COMPANY!
"COME IN!" shouted Raven over the happy voice of Freddie Mercury.
The door opened slowly to reveal a half-awake Beast Boy. How could she tell he was half-awake? Well, for one thing, his eyes were half-open. Or were they half-closed…? Hmmm…. That's something to think about. Other than that, one really… couldn't tell…
"Do you mind turning it down?" asked the changeling, tired yet agitated. "If I don't get my eight hours of sleep, my body will not be able to work at its full potential. Then, I would not want to make breakfast, the most important meal of the day, and my blood stream will not regain its…"
Beast Boy was interrupted as Cyborg barged into the room, carrying huge amounts of junk food and… stuff…
"PARTAY IN RAVEN'S ROOM!" shouted Cyborg as he plopped the junk food on Raven's pink bed.
"Did you get the soda?" asked Raven, skipping over to the bed.
"Did I get the soda?" asked Cyborg, mimicking. "Of course I got the soda!"
"Junk food and soda at this hour?" asked Beast Boy, watching Raven open a bag of those little Ghirardelli chocolate squares. "Our bodies should be resting now, not ready to fight off calories and cholesterol."
"That's great and all, BB," said Cyborg, opening a bag of Lay's Classic Potato Chips. "But really, we don't care. So why don't you just… listen to our arteries harden or something."
Raven giggled at the silly remark as Beast Boy made his way over to a corner. He knew something like this was going to happen… The imbeciles… Either way, he came prepared. He just happened to have a pocketsize version of War and Peace with him.
Opening the book, he turned to page 73 and began to read at lightening pace. He was interrupted, however, when he heard someone clear their throat.
Looking up, the changeling noticed that Raven was right in front of him, smiling.
"Yes?" asked the changeling.
Raven revealed a can of club soda.
Beast Boy looked confused.
Raven began to shake it rapidly.
Beast Boy opened his mouth to speak, but before words could come out of his mouth, he was blasted in the face with a rapid stream of soda.
Raven and Cyborg laughed, seeing the nerdy changeling looking very pissed. Or, as pissed as a bookworm could look… I wouldn't know. I've never seen a bookworm pissed.
Um… Think of Raven pissed!
Yeah. That's right. Raven.
Raven's a nice name.
If I end up having two daughters, I'm going to name one of them Raven. Not because of the character, but because of the bird.
They symbolize both life and death, after all.
Did you know that?
I didn't.
It's cool what you can learn!
Hmm? The other daughter? Probably Amalie. I love that name.
Yeah.
It was one of my ancestor's names!
Mhmm.
Pretty cool, I know.
OK. Back to the fic.
Beast Boy noticed a can of soda sticking out of one of Raven's pockets. Smiling smugly, he grabbed the can and began to shake. Raven and Cyborg stopped their laughing and watched the changeling with wide eyes.
"The gas in the fluid becomes more active when stirred," said the changeling, matter-of-factly. "And when that pressure is released…"
Beast Boy pulled back on the tab, expecting to spray Raven in the face. However, the soda wasn't powerful enough to spray straightforward. Instead, it curved a little and hit the cold floor. The can escaped from Beast Boy's hands and flew over to the spot that the liquid was touching. Before too long, the can and the gushing liquid aligned, and a floating can could be seen in the middle of Raven's room.
The three Titans stared in awe as the can floated in place for a few seconds, then fell to the floor.
"Wow…" said Cyborg, wide-eyed.
"That was…" began Raven. She searched for the word to use for.
"Unusual…" finished Beast Boy, hands still in the shape of the can.
The three Titans continued to stare at the can in silence.
That is, until a crash was heard.
"WOAH!" shouted Raven, a little shocked. "GIANT SODA CAN EXPLODED!"
"Not likely…" said Beast Boy, getting up from the floor. "Something happened."
"TITANS!" shouted Cyborg. "GO!"
(A/N: I think Cyborg sounds way cooler when he says it!)
The three Titans hurriedly made their way down to the main room, both thinking differently on what had happened.
Raven, of course, had thought that a giant can of club soda had gone off after being shaken repeatedly.
Beast Boy thought that the crash might have been from the breaking of something, such as the shatter of a window or table.
Cyborg thinks in ghetto, and I'm afraid to say that I don't know enough ghetto words to type, fo' shizzle.
That's one of the few ghetto words I know, and I am proud of it.
After what seemed to be forever upon reaching the main room, the Titans were relieved to see that they had finally made it. Cyborg quickly put his hand to the door and opened it quickly.
"VICTORY!" shouted a voice from not-to-faraway.
The three Titans turned to the left and stared in shock. Robin was standing right in front of a hole in the wall, and had his arms held up high in the air.
"Robin?" asked Beast Boy.
"DID YOU SEE THAT?" asked Robin as he turned around and faced his fellow teammates. "I JUST WHOOPED THAT SORRY ASS!"
"Come again?" asked Cyborg, a little weirded out. Raven was applauding, however, as she was proud of whatever her friend had managed to do.
"I JUST DEFEATED STARFIRE!"
"WHAT?" shouted Beast Boy and Cyborg. Raven, sensing something was wrong, made a shocked face but said nothing.
"I KNOW! ISN'T IT AWESOME?" Robin proudly made his way over to the sofa. "She ain't really that tough, eit…"
Robin was knocked to the ground by a furious Starfire, who was dripping wet and looked very much like she did with her battle with Kitten. Starfire hissed and revealed razor-sharp fangs and sank them into Robin's back.
"WOW!" shouted Raven as she pointed. "LOOK AT ALL THAT BLOOD!"
Cyborg and Beast Boy merely watched in fascination, however, as the Boy Wonder managed to throw the Tamaranian off of his back.
Starfire lunged at Robin, knocking him over once again and now pinning him to the ground. Robin saw Starfire's razor-sharp (and scary!) teeth, just inches above his face.
It was then that Robin felt a great weight be let off of him, and he watched in amazement as Cyborg managed to bring the Tamaranian down.
Beast Boy had already gone and fetched the gauze and began to patch up Robin. Raven, however, merely rocked back and forth on the heels of her feet, humming Another One Bites the Dust by Queen.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" shouted Cyborg as he gave Starfire a heavy dose of sedative, dropping her to the floor like a sack of wet mice.
(A/N: Last time I checked, that expression was taken by Galaxy Girl. Thanks a lot, Galaxy Girl, for your humorous Zelda fics that were helplessly butchered. You touched my life in many emotional ways.)
"What do you mean?" asked Robin, hands on hips and looking like a noble hero.
"You could've gotten yourself dissected," said Beast Boy. "That doesn't drive any train of thought to your head at all?"
"Nope!"
Raven stopped humming and looked at Robin. She opened her mouth to speak, but closed it right after. "Never mind," she said, humming to the catchy song once again.
"Well…" began Cyborg, looking at the lump that was Starfire. "She's sedated. I guess I might as well work on another Windex cage… By the way, Robin. What did you use to break it?"
"AJAX!" shouted Robin, smiling smugly. "AJAX DEFEATS EVERYTHING!"
Cyborg made an "Oh, I see" face and nodded slowly.
It was then that the alarm started to go off. UH OH!
Beast Boy headed over to the main computer of the Tower and began to rapidly type away. A photo of the delinquent was placed on the large TV.
The villain wasn't that… villain looking. It was a female instead of a male, which somewhat surprised the Teen Titans. The only female villain they would expect to attack out of nowhere would be Jinx, who was usually accompanied by Gizmo and Mammoth.
Nonetheless, the villain was a female. The appearance was quite simple, and the fact that the person was a villain was just a shock altogether. She did not wear a spiffy villain outfit. She wore bellbottoms and a Janis Joplin style blouse, which can be seen under Google Images as the second picture.
(A/N: If you couldn't take that as an obvious hint, go to Google Images and type in Janis Joplin. The second picture is what kind of blouse she's wearing.)
"Well…" said Beast Boy. "That's kind of an… odd looking villain."
"Maybe it's just a disturber of the peace?" questioned Cyborg.
"We could sick Starfire on them!" clapped Raven. "That'll get them to stop!"
"She is sedated," added Beast Boy, pointing to the lump of Starfire on the floor. Raven nodded spastically.
"A TROUBLEMAKER!" shouted Robin, suddenly pointing at the screen with enthusiasm.
The other three looked at the Boy Wonder, wondering where the sudden outburst had come from.
"No problem, though!" he said, putting his hands on his hips. "I can take her down!"
"We don't know anything about her," said Beast Boy. "She could have a rocket launcher, for all our sakes."
"No problem! I can take her down!"
And with that, Robin left to go get his R-Cycle.
Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg stood there, not really knowing what just happened.
"Should we go after him?" asked Cyborg.
The others nodded and left Starfire in the Tower, a sedated lump on the floor.
"Hey Mama! Can I have some candy?"
A cute little girl with straight, raven-black hair tugged gently on her mother's skirt.
The girl's mother, who had the same black hair, looked down at her daughter and smiled sweetly. "Well sure, Jasmine. We're just about to get to the checkout line right now. Why don't you run ahead and pick something out?"
"OK!" Jasmine ran ahead and browsed the shelves.
The young mother took her time getting to the checkout line. The reason why? She didn't know. She just didn't feel like she needed to rush. She was done with work for today… Why not just take the rest of the afternoon easy?
"Good afternoon, Dr. Keara!" gleefully greeted the cashier as Dr. Keara approached.
"Good afternoon, Wade." Dr. Keara's sweet expression had been replaced by a tired one.
"Busy day, huh?" asked Wade as he began to scan the items.
"You wouldn't believe it. I had ten patients come in today… One of them was afraid of the dark, eight of them were seriously depressed, and one of them kept saying how his life was over, and then he tired hitting on me."
Wade's eyes went wide. "Well… That's… uh…"
Dr. Keara rolled her eyes. "I know."
Wade continued looking at Dr. Keara as he scanned the items, as if he had something else to say. He looked down, noticing that his hands had been swiping an item over and over and over again. His brown bangs covering his eyes, he muttered "I hate it when these things won't scan…"
Looking up, he type in the barcode number, hoping that the price would be displayed on the computer. Instead, the words "INVALID ITEM" were displayed in bright green letters.
"This thing's invalid," said Wade, looking at the box.
"Are you sure?" asked Dr. Keara. "I need some of those, badly."
Wade typed in the barcode number again. The same words, "INVALID ITEM", were displayed.
"Try hitting it."
Wade complied by hitting his fist on the keypad. He did this about five times, expecting for it to magically work. The words "STOP HITTING ME, YOU BASTARD" were displayed. Dr. Keara and Wade looked at the cash register in fascination. The cashbox opened up, and assorted change was shot from the box and into Wade's face. Fortunately, the speed of the flying change was less than a mile an hour and Wade stared in confusion as pennies, nickels, and dimes slid down his face.
"That was… different…" said Dr. Keara.
"Extremely. But I guess I'm just going to have to say that this isn't available for purchase."
"But Wade, you don't understand. I've got enough on my hands with that running around." Dr. Keara pointed a finger at Jasmine, who had selected a candy and was now standing next to her mother. Jasmine looked up in confusion.
Wade sighed. "Alright." He reached for a microphone next to the cash register, picked it up, and brought it to his mouth. He tapped his finger on the microphone to make sure it was working, and sure enough, static filled the store.
"I NEED A PRICE CHECK ON SOME CONDOMS," echoed Wade's voice throughout the store.
Dr. Keara smacked her forehead as the words "WHAT KIND?" echoed back.
"UH… A BOX OF THE KING GEORGE PROPHYLACTICS IN ULTRA-SENSITIVE."
Dr. Keara hoped that she wouldn't hear a specific question be asked.
"What are condoms, Mommy?" asked Jasmine.
Yep. There it was.
"Later…" mumbled a frustrated Dr.
"It's 2.50," said Wade, extending his hands and smiling.
Dr. Keara slammed the money into Wade's hand, giving a little extra for the candy that Jasmine had just bought. She didn't care how much it cost… She was just ready to go home.
"Would you like a bag for your stuff?" asked Wade.
"No."
As Dr. Keara and Jasmine walked towards the exit, they noticed a wired-looking girl with long blonde hair and glasses come walking in. She looked pretty weird… Bellbottoms and a Janis Joplin blouse were not the kind of fashions you would wear in public anymore.
"Who's that, Mommy?" asked Jasmine, pointing a finger to the girl.
"Don't know. Why don't you go say hi?"
Jasmine ran to the girl, stopped in front of her, and looked up. The girl looked down.
"HI!" shouted Jasmine. "MY NAME'S JASMINE!"
The girl's eyes went wide when she looked at Jasmine. Actually, she wasn't necessarily looking at Jasmine… she was looking at what Jasmine held in her hands.
"CaNdY…" said the girl, mouth starting to water.
"Candy?" asked Jasmine. "Is that your name? That's a cool name. I like that name. It's like candy, but you're not candy, because then I would eat you, and then I would get arrested because Mommy said that cannibals will get arrested in this city and that's it's a dumb city and we're all moving to Germany when she feels like it which is not too long from now, and I really, really hope we can go to Germany because I want to eat pretzels and wear lederhosen, or whatever they are, and party and Mommy wants to drink beer and hang out with lots of guys and… Hey! Where are you going?"
Dr. Keara noticed that the girl had swiped Jasmine's candy and had run out the store… At rapid speeds, one should add.
Jasmine came walking over. "Hey Mommy! I think that girl just took my candy!"
The girl ran out of the store and sat under a local tree, quickly pulling off the wrapper and taking a large bite into the chocolate bar.
"MmM…" said the girl, in between bites. "GhIrArDeLlI…"
"STOP!"
The girl looked up from her candy to see four teenagers with weird-looking outfits, all in fighting stances.
"It'S tHe TeEn TiTaNs!" shouted the girl, getting up.
"That's right!" shouted Cyborg. "And we're here to tell you…"
"That no matter how fast you run," said Raven, pointing a finger at the girl.
"No matter where you hide," added Beast Boy.
"I'M GONNA GET YA!" Robin did two punched in the air, showing he was ready to fight.
The rest of the Titans looked at Robin.
"Uh… Robin…" whispered Cyborg. "It's we're gonna get ya."
The girl laughed a demented laugh.
"I'm AfRaId NoT, tItAnS!"
"Ooo…" said Raven. "She speaks in alternating caps…"
"YeP! fOr I aM sTaRk MaD, sTeAlInG cAnDy FrOm LiTtLe KiDs AnD eAtInG iT aLl!"
"So she steals candy from little kids…" said Beast Boy. "My heart is pounding with adrenaline."
"I cAn AsSuRe YoU tHaT yOuR hEaRt WiLl Be PoUnDiNg, GrEeN dUdE!"
And with that, the girl ran east at amazing speeds, laughing as if beckoning the Titans to follow.
Robin took off after the girl, not signaling for his team to move.
The rest of the Titans stood there, ready for action and waiting for Robin to tell them when to go. Instead, since Robin was gone, they stood there for a very long time.
It was Beast Boy that noticed that Robin had left. The others began their chase as well, hoping that they would be able to find their leader.
Stark Mad was now all the way to downtown Jump City, looking around for places to hide. The Boy Wonder was catching up to her pretty quickly, and she needed to do something fast if she wasn't going to get caught.
Thinking quickly, Stark Mad laughed as she latched onto one of Jump City's many skyscrapers. Like Spiderman, she then began to climb up the side of the building, panting with excitement and going quite fast.
The rest of the Titans had managed to catch up to Robin, who had also began climbing up the building as well.
"ROBIN!" shouted Cyborg. "IT'S TOO DANGEROUS! LET RAVEN OR BB GO AFTER HER!"
Robin, however didn't respond and continued his chase after Stark Mad.
Cyborg sighed as he loaded his sonic cannon, ready to shoot at Stark Mad. He fired but missed, due to the fact that Stark Mad was climbing up the wall at rates that couldn't be calculated.
Raven tried telekinesis to stop the fiend, but had to quit when she noticed that Stark Mad's speed was too strong for her energy to stay attached to.
Beast Boy morphed into a bird and took after Stark Mad, landed on her head, and began pecking. Nothing happened, however, and he merely flew back to the ground to join his friends.
"Well?" asked Cyborg.
"It's pointless," said Beast Boy. "Nothing can stop that great a force of sugar."
Stark Mad had now reached the top and began running around, spastically looking for places to hide. Robin was getting closer…
Then, she had the best idea yet. Getting a good start, she jumped off of the building and onto the next one, which was at least thirty feet away.
Robin made his way to the top and noticed what Stark Mad had done. Getting the same start as the villain, he began running towards the edge, ready to jump.
A black wall of energy stopped him.
"DON'T!" cried out Raven and Beast Boy, now in front of Robin.
"I can jump it, guys!" Robin smiled broadly.
"No, you can't," added Beast Boy. "You'd have to be going at mock five to be able to jump that far."
"No! Really! I can jump it!"
The two others looked at each other and sighed. Raven brought down the wall of energy, allowing Robin to continue towards the edge.
The smiled, jumped, fell, and hit the ground with a splat.
"IMBECILE!" Beast Boy fwapped Robin upside the head. "WERE YOU EVEN THINKING?"
Raven munched noisily on her potato chips, watching the scene going on in front of her.
"I could've jumped it!" said Robin, matter-of-factly. "You guys got in my way!"
Beast Boy looked at Cyborg, who looked at Beast Boy.
"Sedate him."
"Righto."
"It was alright for me and Bobby McGee…" sang Raven, quietly as she drew more pictures in the dirt. "Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah… Nah nah nah nah nah nah… Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, Bobby McGee…"
"Hey Raven?" asked Robin, looking up from his gadgets, which he was currently poking with a stick. "Could you shut up?"
Raven looked over to Robin and said "No,", then began to sing her song once again.
Robin rolled his eyes and continued poking his gadgets, trying to figure out how they actually worked.
"Friend Robin," said Starfire as she made her way over. "Beast Boy and I have achieved our goal of making a card deck out of stone. I wish to know, would you like to play…"
"Not now, Star," said Robin, poking a bomb. "I'm busy."
Starfire was about to speak but was interrupted when one of Robin's bombs went off in his face.
"FRIEND ROBIN!" shouted Starfire as she knelt down beside her friend. "Are you alright?"
"So the bomb will explode if it gets hit or hits something… YES! IT JUST MIGTH WORK!"
Robin got up and did a victory dance, not noticing that Timid was running around being chased by a giant blue beam of light.
"HELP ME!" she shouted.
"Ah nah nah nah nah nah nah, Bobby McGee…"
"HELP!"
"What might work, Robin?"
"I need HELP!"
"Bombs will explode if they hit stuff!"
Timid just stopped when she noticed that no one would help her. "You all hate me…" she said as she got sucked up into oblivion. "Well… I HATE YOU TOO! WAAH!"
Timid disappeared with blue light, the Titans not really noticing a thing.
"Did you hear something?" asked Raven, stopping her song.
"No."
"Nope."
Raven shrugged and began to sing Baby You Can Drive My Car by the Beatles.
That's it! Yay! I want to try to get this fic over with soon, so I might update sooner than Friday, like I did now! I can assure you, though, that there will be a new chapter every week. I just don't know when. Probably Monday.
See ya!
