Chapter 4: The Jokes Come To an End

Disclaimer: Teen Titans and all DC originated characters are given credit to their creators. So, guess that's it!

Also, I read that Robin's weapons are not batarangs but they call them birdarangs, I'll fix that in the earlier chapters later. Sorry if anyone got upset with that.

Robin and the others were now inside of Slade's old hideout. The way everything had rusted over kind of ruined Robin's memories of the times he fought Slade. Robin still felt awkward, he felt Starfire floating next to him. Robin then turned to see Raven was more depressed than normal, Cyborg was really cautious this time. Robin then blinked, "Beast Boy?"

Everyone stopped to see Beast Boy now was missing. Robin and the others ran to where he was last and saw he was not there. Cyborg then felt something large wrap around his body and drag him off. Robin turned to now see Cyborg was gone. "Hold it!" Raven and Starfire turned to see Robin, "We are getting attacked one by one, we need to stand back to back!"

Robin, Raven, and Starfire stood back to back figuring they could go against whatever was there. Raven asked, "Who could this be Robin?"

Robin sneered, "Anyone I ever met."

Starfire felt Robin grip her hand, she smiled at him. Robin may not have loved her but he cared. Robin then let go saying, "Move!"

The three jumped into different directions as a large rusted gear had come falling onto them. Raven twirled back around to see the gigantic shadow fist smack her into a wall. The wall opened up and she was now inside a new room. Robin turned to see the shadow, a large man with black skin leather stood up flexing his chest in a menacing fashion. His left arm had a strange dial device, and a tube with a chemical pumping into the base of the man's skull. His head had a leather mask with metallic buckles about the mouth. Robin realized this was Bane, a mercenary from Southern America, he is not only able to change his body mass in size he can also double if not quadruple his strength.

Robin sprawled into his fighting stance when Bane turned around to face him. Bane let a grin form, "Baby bird, you've flown the coup."

Robin grit his teeth, Bane had the stupid name 'baby bird' for Robin referring to his childish attitude and being the sidekick to Batman. "I am the leader of the Teen Titans now Bane!"

Bane stepped off of the cog and kicked it over, then he gripped the unconscious Starfire from underneath, "I can see how proud you must be." Robin gripped his staff and was about to strike when a large jolt came from behind, the Joker smiled as Robin fell unconscious, "The bird is sloppy." Bane snickered.

The Joker grinned he gripped Robin's ankles and began to drag him off. "Yeah, guess without us he's gotten to soft. Take the girl to the area will ya Jolly?"

Bane raised a brow before snorting, "I'll kill that clown he calls me the jolly green giant again!"

Robin was not sure how long he had been out, but he knew it was to long. He woke up to see a big screen television, he blinked and asked "Where am I?"

The Joker now came into view from around the TV and had a bag of pop corn. He popped a piece into his mouth and chewed grinning, "Robin, about time you woke up! I figured I would have to watch the show alone."

"Show?" Robin was interested, and the Joker plopped into a couch Robin was sitting next to, Robin was strapped tightly in shackles next to Joker. Joker chewed on several kernels and smirked, "Kid, some of the shows I planned will blow you're mind…" he then removed a gun from his jacket saying, "Before I do that literally!" he then began to cackle, Robin realized this maniac was up to his evil old ways again. The television flickered and there was Cyborg in the room of what seemed like a basket ball court. Cyborg turned to the bouncing of a basket ball by Killer Croc. Croc passed the ball to Cyborg saying, "You ready to play punk?"

Cyborg grinned, "This is my game!" he began to dribble down court until he was sideswiped by Croc. Croc stole the ball and made a basket, "Kid, there's more than one way to play this game!"

Cyborg stood up and whipped his chin, "Okay, a little street can't hurt." Cyborg got the ball again and began to dribble. Croc leaped out trying to block but Cyborg rammed his head into Croc's chin. Croc fell nearly automatically, and Cyborg made a basket. Croc stood up and received the ball. Cybrog smirked, "On second thought it might hurt you!"

The Joker frowned, "I should have let Bane get the metal man after all!"

Robin smiled, "You can see my friends aren't going down without a fight!"

The Joker grinned, "I hoped they wouldn't! That's why my good pal Scarecrow got his hands on a special little idea! I am going to enjoy this cause now is time for a tragedy!"

Robin blinked, "You like tragedy?"

The Joker rolled his eyes, "Please, it's hilarious!"

Robin narrowed his eyes, "I think you missed the point of TRAGEDY Joker."

Beast Boy was slowly making his way in the room, he finally got a glimpse of a woman and ran at her turning to a wolf. As he was about to strike a large vine struck down onto his back making him whelp. The giant venus fly trap flung Beast Boy into a wall causing the shiftling to return into his normal form. The woman now walked over to the whimpering plant and pet it, she wore a tight green body suit, revealing her shoulders. Her feet and hands had green gloves and her red hair was the color of autumn leaves. Her skin was pale, almost as pale as Raven, and her eyes were light green. Her lips were shinned gloss green, she pet the plant monster saying, "Aw, did that mammal hurt you?"

Beast Boy steamed from his ears, "Excuse me! You ask that plant if it's okay when it just tossed me a mile. Are you that crazy?"

The woman sneered over to Beast Boy, "Filthy animals! I hate their kind, taking from the beauty and innocence of plants."

She sure enough flung a chop of meat to the plant and it devoured it. Beast Boy cringed, "Okay… innocent does not seem to personify tall and gruesome there!"

"Gruesome!" The woman scoffed, "Of course you can't see it, not only are you a man but the embodiment of the entire animal biased world! I am the only crusader of the vegetated world, Poison Ivy."

Beast Boy was getting annoyed, "Whatever," he then flickered with an idea, "Heh…" he stepped back into a shadow and changed, sure enough a "Baaaah!" sound came out of his form and he was a goat, the goat ran full force into the plant devouring it in a cloud of dust. Ivy cringed at the horrific scene as the goat then munched on the last petal. Beast Boy turned to normal with a vine slurping into his mouth, he swallowed and grinned, "That's a spicy Vegie-Ball!"

"YOU!" Ivy fumed in the corner, "You monster! You ate my beautiful pet!"

Beast Boy rolled his eyes, it would have done the same thing! He turned into a bull to stomp his foot, Ivy began to look around as she was in his view. Beast Boy was going to trample when there was a sudden door opening. Out of it came… "Raven!" Beast Boy had turned back and ran at her enthusiastically. As he was inches from her, a large fist punched him back. Beast Boy twirled onto his feet and sprawled out grabbing the ground with his one hand, gripping with both feet, and cocking his arm into a fist. Beast Boy saw the large man Bane crack his knuckles, Beast Boy glared at the large man saying, "You get away from her."

Scarecrow came in now smiling, "Kids, so impulsive." He then ushered Ivy over, "remember my dear, as I instructed before."

Ivy wiped her hair and grabbed a cloak and hood from Scarecrow. Raven looked at Ivy with a glazed over face, Beast Boy felt a twist in his stomach, she never looked so dead before. "What did you do to her?"

Scarecrow gave a sadistic twist in his grin, "You'll see…" he simply murmured under his breath.

Ivy then grabbed Raven's cheek gently saying, "Sweaty?" Raven glanced and instead of seeing Ivy, she saw her mother! Her mother, after all this time… Raven's mother spoke in this voice she knew, and shown as the cloaked figure she recognized, "You have to stop that monster Trigon, can you see him?"

Raven looked over to Beast Boy, and his form was not his but Trigon! Raven grit her teeth as her mother said, "If you destroy Trigon this time, you'll be free of all his influence, you'll be free to care, to smile, to laugh, you just have to kill him!"

Raven then had her eyes glow, and raised her arms also lifting several large metal beams and bars. Beast Boy was growling at Scarecrow, and Ivy, they were using the woman he loved! He leapt at them and with a grin Ivy simply blocked, and Raven leapt in the way screaming, "Leave my mother alone!"

Beast Boy leapt backwards dodging her attacks, several telekinetic throws then she began her punches and kicks. Beast Boy never felt so weird, he was fighting Raven! He was fighting her, and he couldn't get to those monsters controlling her until he went through her.

The Joker pulled out his popcorn and ate some, he smiled saying "You know what's next don't you?"

Robin looked at the Joker, tears coming from under his mask, "Not her…"

The Joker pulled a tear off of Robin's cheek and put it on a kernel, he popped it in his mouth and chewed with a greater grin, "Mmmm! I can't believe it's not butter!"

The Joker began to cackle and Robin screamed "Monster!"

"Flattery will get you no where my boy!" he pointed out his finger and did a tsk-tsk motion with his hand. Robin now watched as the screen changed, and there was Starfire banging on a giant door. She smacked on it but all she did was dent it. She was tired, if only they had gotten some rest.

She slowly turned to see the familiar shape of Fire Fly, "Welcome to cooking with Fire Fly! How would you like you're Tameranian? Broiled, or charred!" Fire Fly shot a long stream but Star had flown up and around. She dropped a kick to his jaw and used her momentum to then fly up to grab his collar and swing him into a wall. As she slowed, Fire Fly flew out swinging his fists to repeatedly miss her. Star dodged seeing he was easier this time, as if he purposely wanted her to win! She then felt the punch to her face and snapped out of that fantasy! She used a strong kick to Fire Fly, hitting his ribs, then she used her starbolts to flip him on his back. She now flew full force to way-lay into his face with her left and rights, she sure enough seemed to be winning. Starfire grinned as she readied a strong jab, but then something else hit her, something strong. It was a strong punch to her chin knocking her into a wall.

Star stood up seeing the tall man now coming at her, he was in an armored suit, a black armor in the chest and legs, the only variation were his blue gauntlet hands, and blue stomping boots. The clear dome around his head held in a frozen mist and the pale blue skinned head along with a set of red eyes. This man had goggles in his eye groves, hiding his eyes from the extreme cold inside the dome. This man was Freeze, also known as Victor Frieze, his constant need to be in a frozen state kept him at the whims of the condition, but his need to avenge his damnation also gave him the power to live on.

Starfire readied into a stance, to then fly at Freeze, he simply gripped her neck and squeezed. Without fear or any emotions to hold him back Freeze simpy held her there without showing any form of shock. Freeze flung Star again, now she skidded on the ground rolling as she halted. She was on her stomach when Fire Fly flew down on her landing with a strong kick to her back. Starfire gagged as now Freeze stood and narrowed his eyes, Star screamed "Robin!"

Robin screamed "Starfire!" and she looked up instantly. "She… heard me!"

The Joker grinned, "Yeah, I set dual radios! She can hear you to add to the lovey-dovey ending!"

Robin gave the Joker a dark growl, he wanted this to stop! Starfire looked up and saw Freeze kick her up from the ground and then to slam her head back down into the pavement. Firefly pointed out his gun asking, "End it?"

Joker smiled, "Not yet, I want to hear her beg for mercy!"

Starfire was shaking to her elbows, her hair over her face she spoke shakily. "I… I…" Robin felt weak, she was going to ask that monster for mercy! "I… will not… give up for… Robin!" she snapped her neck back and fired her eye beams into Fire Fly. Star then flew at Freeze but he gripped her hands and clamped on tightly. She screamed but swung her legs into his chest catapulting off and then flying into his mechanized form to slam him deep inside the wall. She smiled as she was breathing heavily in mid float. Freeze shifted, and she figured he was going to attack again. He stopped, she felt relaxed until the flames hit her back. Starfire turned and shot several bolts but Fire Fly dodged, and as she was distracted Freeze gripped a gun from his side and shot her legs causing them to freeze over. She fell to the ground and Freeze froze her hands with his gun. Freeze narrowed his eyes saying in a speaker from his tank collar, "You're admirable for resisting, but you're fate is inevitable."

Starfire looked up, tears streaking her face, "I will not give up." She shook, trying to break the ice but Freeza had thickened it as it cracked, Starfire glared at him with pain in her face, "I can not give up for Robin, I love him!" Freeze had narrowed his view, Joker cackled, Firefly cracked his neck, and Robin had dropped his head to only have it snap up when he heard that. "I will not let this end here, I would fight army of Karazantoma from Tersnorpalay or a fleet of Zerpan marauders in order to see Robin's face again! Though… I have not seen his face as he fears to show it. However, I still will fight to make Robin happ-."

Fire Fly kicked her face saying, "Shut up! I hate this crap!"

The Joker screamed "Hold on! I want to hear this, it's deliciously grand in hilarity!" the Joker was rolling on the ground spilling his pop corn all on the floor. Starfire raised her bruised face to the two attackers, "You can beat me, and break my body, but I will not give up my fight to make Robin happy and to see his face with joy even after I am destroyed!"

Firefly snickered inside his helmet, "Really, let's try that out shall we?"

He raised his fire gun, charging a blast as Robin stood in terror, "Starfire, get away run!"

Starfire smiled at Robin's voice, she wished she could see him, "Robin, please do not die here and be happy."

There was a sudden flash, and the cameras went out. The Joker stood up saying, "She is like a kid hunh?" he then narrowed his eyes, "Hey, where's the picture! Where's my fiery ending!!!" he started to press buttons and knobs but the picture was gone, Joker flung a chair and sneered, "Alright, guess it's time to cut my losses." He grabbed his gun and aimed it at Robin, Robin felt like this was it, he was going to die by a bullet… he'd never get to tell her how he truly felt…

Firefly was shaking, as he fell from the screen. The electrocution seemed intense enough to fry the speakers as well. Starfire looked at the now arm outstretched Mr. Freeze, he had struck the Fire Fly with one swipe, now he planted a punch to her legs to free them, then he freed her arms. He walked over to a wall and with a scream he smashed it outward. Starfire stood slowly, and watched him turn to her, now holding out a pendant in his open hand. She narrowed her eyes as he said, "My… Nora…" Freeze seemed to change, his face still cold, but his eyes sympathetic, "She and I were to wed before her life was taken by a disease, and a freak accident did this to me. The way she and I spoke of our love was much like your talk…" he then turned to her with a grin, "However, not as bubbly as you made it."

Starfire smiled, "Perhaps, but that is how I am and would not change it for a moment, childish or not."

"You're love is not childish, just simple. That is the beauty of love, it can be so difficult and yet so simple." Freeze gripped the pendant and then opened a small compartment in his neck, "I was here to get revenge on Robin, I feel he deserves it as I can never hold my wife in my arms again… yet perhaps I may take Batman in Robin's place for love."

Starfire whipped her hand behind her head, "Um, that is acceptable?" she wasn't sure how to respond to that. She simply followed the Mr. Freeze as he ushered her through the building.

Cyborg was fighting this Croc guy a while, it was fun but taking all of his stamina. Cyborg had the ball, and sure Croc was getting tired but if he didn't end this game he'd loose… if there was a score! Cyborg looked at the ball, looked at Croc, and looked at his arm, 'What am I doing?' Cyborg asked himself mentally, 'am I trying to justify my self with a game of street ball with this guy? Trying to justify the games with him?' Cyborg grinned as he said, "No more…" he gripped the ball in his right arm and looked at Croc who was at the other end of the court. "Alright Croc, this is going to be all neck!"

Croc narrowed his eyes, "Don't you mean "net?"

Cyborg turned his arm into it's gun form, the ball in his hand. He fired the ball straight into Croc's face causing Croc's fangs to wrap around it and lodge in to the mouth. Croc rolled his eyes and fell unconscious with miniature stars around his eyes. Cyborg blew his hand off saying, "Naw, that was neck."

Cyborg looked to a door and was going to run through it when a shadow appeared, he was going to attack but it pounced him, it was Starfire! Starfire hugged him and screamed "Fellow friend Cyborg, you are alive and well!"

Cyborg tried to pry her off saying, "Not for long!"

Starfire blushed as she let go, Freeze came in and narrowed his eyes as Cyborg scrutinized him, Cyborg raised his arm screaming "Whoa! That's the Freeze guy I heard about!"

Starfire jumped between the two screaming, "Hold it! We are all friends here!"

Freeze turned away saying, "I am not a friend!"

Starfire seemed upset, but she quickly perked up saying, "Neutral acquaintances!"

Freeze seemed to think a moment his arms crossed, then he turned saying, "That will do."

Cyborg smiled saying, "Well, the more the merrier, I'm running low on power now because of that guy… and my pride."

Starfire nodded, "I to am exhausted but Robin and the others are in danger still!"

Freeze narrowed his eyes saying, "There is more danger for two of you're friends as I remember."

Beast Boy slowly tried to stand, his legs nearly about to buckle under his own weight. Raven had been levitating and she raised another object. Beast Boy looked up saying, "Raven… please!"

Raven flung it down and Beast Boy turned into his sasquatch like form, similar to the gorilla but it had a more human form. He grabbed the object to rip it in half, then he turned normal drapping his arms on her shoulders saying, "Raven… I love you."

Raven stopped, her glowing eyes faded, and they were now the glazed over shaky eyes of the possessed Raven. Beast Boy smiled for a moment until Ivy screamed "Daughter! Kill Trigon and be free!"

Raven shook her head and flung Beast Boy on his back. He was sprawled out and now breathing, his chest felt so heavy from all the jumping and dodging. Raven seemed to be fighting the urge to strike, Beast Boy grinded his teeth together before he screamed "Snap out of it!" Raven jumped, Beast Boy was flipping over on all fours trying to get up some how with his remaining strength. "Yeah, I know you had a bad life, childhood, the works! Yet, you still push me and you're friends away again and again! Trigon doesn't do that, you do! You choose to ignore the feelings than rather go head to head with them!" Beast Boy was now on his shaky legs, he reached his hand out to grab Raven's shoulder again, and he said, "You know, I'm scared to, scared about some dumd things actually. I'm afraid the one girl I like won't like me, cause I'm not a handsome looker like Aqualad, or a mysterious hunk like Robin." Beast Boy grinned, "Heck, I'm not even buffed out liked Cyborg. I'm a stringy, green skinned, doofy looking, and sometimes annoying jerk… but," Beast Boy had grabbed her face in his hands, he was shaking but when he contacted his eyes to hers he smiled and stood straight up getting a second wind it seemed, "I know I got one thing they don't have and you love me for it…" he then took his right hand, and poked her nose going. "Meep!" he chuckled…

Raven was standing there confused, and then, her lips curved and her eyes cleared. Raven laughed, it was a small warm laugh. Beast Boy smiled as he fell in her arms, she grabbed him screaming, "Beast Boy! I'm sorry!"

Beast Boy smiled, "Ah, you know you do these things for attention."

"Only because I can't seem to get yours." She joked.

Beast Boy narrowed his eyes, "Ow…"

She was about to giggle as Scarecrow raised a giant Scythe over his head screaming "You ruined my dreams you green freak!"

Raven turned, and in a cold stare stopped Scarecrow. Scarecrow felt afraid for once, and he smiled, it was great. He Scythe floated off into a wall, and Raven stood up her eyes keeping contact to his. She fired a strange black bolt into Scarecrow and sure enough he shook a moment and then fell over drooling from his lips. Beast Boy looked shocked, "You didn't…"

Raven shook her head no, "I made him see his nightmare. A world, without fear."

She then grabbed Beast Boy and helped him up, Beast Boy twitched his ears and changed forms into a tiger leaping at Ivy who was trying to escape behind a mirror. Beast Boy roared and Ivy fell unconscious, Beast Boy turned normal saying, "Well, fear has it's places right?"

Raven smiled, "Yeah, I guess so."

Beast Boy grabbed Raven's chin and grinned, "You're smiling Raven."

"Someone once said I was beautiful when I smiled." Raven mocked,

Beast Boy just said in play, "Hm, must be a genius that said that."

"No… more an imbecile mixed with a donkey."

Beast Boy frowned, "Oh… ha, ha."

Then came in the remaining crew, Cyborg, Starfire, and Freeze. After the explanation of Freeze Raven and Beast Boy allowed him to come in. They talked about their night, and Raven nodded saying, "Robin needs us, give me you're hands."

Beast Boy grinned as he said, "Well, about time you asked for my hand." Raven simply ignored it as she had a vein on her fore head.

The other Titans did so, Freeze kept his distance saying, "I'm not one for kiddie games."

Raven slowed her thoughts and said, "Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos!" and the team was covered by a light. Sure enough their injuries had been healed, Raven nodded saying, "Um… one problem." She fell over as Beast Boy caught her. She continued saying, "Now I'm kinda drained."

Freeze snapped saying, "We must hurry, the Joker will not wait for us to come to him."

Bane was one the idea it's better to run then get a beat down. Bane came to the main hall and smiled, several villains hid here with guns. This was the last move, the last real chance to stop these kids. The Riddler, in his green suit with question marks stood at the ready, The Penguin brandishing his suit and umbrella gun stood at the ready, and even Two-Face with his normal and scarred faces looked out with his coin flipping in the air. Bane smiled as he said, "This is where it ends!"

Freeze and the titans had entered the hallway to the main hall when Freeze turned saying, "They have a trap. You need to get into the next room."

Starfire nodded, "We must all move quiclkly then."

Freeze narrowed his eyes, "No, you must go, I have an idea." He picked up a fish bowl that had been slightly shattered.

Sure enough Freeze came running out into the main hall firing his freeze beams into the rafters. The villains let go large barrages of bullets to stop him but it did not affect him. Several villains had been frozen, others only enough to stop attacking. Bane in a fit of rage grabbed and flung a large gear into Freeze causing his head to shatter. Bane grinned as he ran over to the now incapacitated Freeze and narrowed his eyes, there was the shattered remains of a gold fish bottle. Bane turned to see the Titans now entering the next room. Bane roared as he ran at the large door and turned his knob. The veins in his arms and neck began to grow, and his muscular mass doubled and then trppled. Bane was about to slam into the door when his feet buckled and he fell face down into the ground. Bane turned screaming as a spider head was freezing his legs, Freeze had detached from his mechanical body and being nothing more than a head he used his second body to attack Bane. Bane turned his knob to cause his strength to raise again, then he shattered the ice and sprung atop of the now swinging legs. He smacked Freeze off into the distance screaming, "I am Bane! I am unstoppable!"

Suddenly a beam hit Bane's hand freezing his knob, the V.E.N.O.M that gave him the strength kept pumping and Bane screamed as he got a major overdose. He fell unconscious as he tore the tube from his head allowing for a release of his sanity. Freeze's body walked over to the spider version and scooped him up letting him reconnect his pieces. Freeze gave a cynical smile as he said, "This is easier than I expected."

"You could say that again!" Freeze turned to the kick to his head, there was Firefly now laying out a long chain of karate type moves. Freeze fell over on his back barely able to raise his gun before it was kicked to the side and then Firefly shot a giant stream of flame into Freeze. Freeze screamed in horror and Firefly only stopped when Freeze had stopped moving, "I really wasn't going to kill you, but you had to throw me into a television."

Firefly turned and began to weld the door shut, no returning thorough here. He then turned and pulled off a brick, pushing a secret button a passage opened, "Now Joker, it's you're turn."

Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy had entered the room in disbelief, Robin was lying there in a pool of… blood. Starfire flew over and grabbed Robin saying, "Robin! No! It shall not end like this!"

Robin was shot, in the stomach. He turned to Starfire, embracing her he whispered, "I was so scared Strafire." Starfire suddenly became jagged, "I thought I'd never see you again."

Starfire then surprised everyone as she shot Robin into the distance. Everyone looked like she was crazy, but she replied, "Robin… would never be scared."

The Robin imposter was laughing in a sort of gurgle, and his shape had changed, shifting like slime his form resembled Starfire, and the new Starfire laughed in her voice saying, "Well, let me show you why you should be scared!"

The new Star flew at the real Star full force, each sharing blows with their fists. Cyborg looked shocked, "Okay, what is going on?"

A set of hands grabbed Cyborg's hands saying, "You wouldn't understand." Cyborg was now being thrown by his double. Each Titan had a double now attacking them. Raven was dodging as her double seemed to now toss metal chairs at her, Beast Boy tried to overtake his double as they made transformations to. Sure enough it seemed stupid, they could not be fighting their clones, though Beast Boy kept mentioning his theory of parallel zombie mechs from another universe. Raven got sick of his silly explanations and in a fit of rage shot a negative bolt out at her clone. The clone screamed and removed the chakra bands on it's wrists, when that happened the objects it had been moving fell. Raven narrowed her eyes seeing the bands had been magnetic, so that meant… "Starfire! It's a fake! It can't be a clone but something else."

Star looked and smiled, "Good news, yet I am not sure how that will be helpful."

Cyborg grinned as he grabbed his clone to fling it into Beast Boy's clone, the two seemed to melt into one. Star grinned as she grabbed her by the ankle and flung it aswell, and Raven quickly smashed her clone into the large blob with a giant metal chair. The blob began to swirl and change to a solitary dirt brown, and now took the giant bulked out appearance of a large man. It's body had giant arms, and stubby legs, the very broad chest of composited soil, and then the head seemed to be a lump with teeth and two blank white eyes. This clay man, was Clayface. Clayface smiled saying, "Kids, you really got on my nerves with all this! I was figuring I only had to kill ya quick, then you have to go an ruin everything!"

Beast Boy rolled his eyes, "What kind of heroes don't ruin everything for the bad guy?"

Clayface chuckled "I like ya kid, I'll skin you really slow!" his right hand then turned into a giant blade, and he swung it down on Beast Boy. The titans scrambled and as they began an attack Clayface simply shot a spike of metal, or some kind of battering ram at them. He was able to shot off his body as projectiles and now he was using more and more to try and crush the teens.

The door came crashing in and Freeze fired his beam into Clayface. Clayface swiveled out of the way and screamed as he undid his attacks and flooded out of the door into Freeze. Freeze was now being crushed under the immense beast and after a moment, Clayface grinned as he stood over freezes crushed body. "There, end of that traitor!" Clayface turned to have a large barrage of starbolts strike him, and then Cyborg's sonic blast. Raven flung rods into the blob monster as Beast Boy turned into a squid and covered it in ink. Everyone then watched the mangled blob with it's scorched sides, pole punctured form, and ink covered face blinding it's view. They looked at Freeze and felt so sorry he was killed like this. As they looked, Clayface was removing the poles slowly by pushing them out, then he moved his face to the back of his head and made his body meld over to the other end. He was about to grab the Titans in between two giant hammers for hands when a strange orb flew out and shot Clayface in the chest, it exploded and his body was suddenly covered in ice. Everyone looked in awe at the frozen monster and then saw Freezes cracked head now dislodging from the body. The spider legs folded out and Freeze spoke, "Go…"

Starfire raised a hand to Freeze saying, "Can we not help you?"

Freeze swatted her hand away kind of shocking her, "GO! I am meant to be… alone."

Freeze was now barely making his way out of the room as Starfire smiled saying, "Thank you Mr. Freeze, you are a good friend…" she then blushed saying, "I mean Neutral Acquaintance."

Then Freeze stopped saying, "Call me Victor, and a friend." He then kept his march, the Titans shared their sayings of thanks when they turned and began their final march.

The Joker was standing, his shirt torn, his body numb, and he smiled on and on to the now beaten Robin. Robin then stirred, the Joker had blown the buckles and allowed Robin to fight fist to fist. Then the time came when Robin was so beaten he could hardly move. Then he felt Starfire… Starfire was dead. Robin quickly stood up saying, "Joker you took my life from me, I killed a girl because of you and you killed the girl of my dreams!"

The Joker, who's lip was bleeding grinned, "One right, one wrong!" he then flung a birdarang at Robin saying, "That night I used some explosives to mask my death again, the chain reaction was just for fun. I kept you're toy for you know, a souvenir."

Robin gripped the Birdarang and grinned, he grabbed a piece of glass and tilted his mask, "What are you doing?" asked the Joker, Robin replied, "Seeing if I have my eyes… or you're eyes." Robin leapt up and began a new strike, he used several strong swipes and kicks, the Joker was stunned by the speed. As Robin finished to knock the Joker back Robin gripped his fist tightly and was about to crush the Joker's skull in when he narrowed his eyes saying, "I just found out I'm not a monster…" he then dropped the Joker, "I'm not ruining that for you!"

The Joker smiled, "Good boy Roby-Cakes!" The Joker suddenly grabbed an iron pipe to knock Robin off, then stood over him with a glare in his eyes, "Luckily I'm not worried about being a monster!" he then cackled when a beam melted the pipe. The two looked over and Robin looked in astranged awe as he saw Starfire floating with her green eyes and hands, "Joker," she said, "You have done harm to my friends and family, this is you're punishment."

The Joker then felt something hit him, Beast Boy had turned to his gorilla form and punched him hard in the jaw. Raven had levitated the couch and swung it into the Joker's sides. Cyborg fired his sonic beam to smack the Joker over to Starfire. Starfire grabbed the Joker by the ankles and twirled him until she flung him into and elevator. Robin grinned as he grabbed his Birdarang, and flung it saying, "This time I won't miss!"

The Joker watched it about to hit his nose as a hand slapped it out of the way. Firefly flew down and shot a long stream into the room. The titans ducked but the target was a pipe that exploded to cover the room in flames. The flames kept spreading and Robin narrowed his eyes at Firefly screaming "I'll make you pay for this Joker!"

The Joker grinned saying, "Firefly, you just earned you're pay double!"

On the roof, the Joker ran to his helicopter to see it was a flame, he was stunned, Harley and the dogs were out cold. "No! Did those brats get all the way up here?"

The Joker's cell phone went off, and the grabbed it asking who it was, it was Firefly, he told him how he was attacked, how somebody took his clothes, The Joker turned even more pale as he looked at Firefly.

"Come now Joker, did you think you were going to get away with this?"

The Joker screamed "Who do you think you are!"

"You don't know who I am yet?"

The Joker snarled, gripping his last metal card from his good sleeve, he flung it and the left eye panel suddenly broke off revealing the left side of the face. The Joker grinned, "No… NO!"

The assailant was still difficult to see, but the light from the flames gave the one eye it's scrutinizing look, Firefly said something as an explosion fired, making it nearly impossible to hear, but the Joker heard it. The Joker started to laugh more madly and loudly than before, and then Firefly disappeared leaving his suit behind. The Titans had gotten to the roof after rounding up the villains. Clayface was the hardest as if he melted he'd probably get back into attack mode. Starfire was sad they couldn't find Freeze, he most likely had melted in that fire. The police came as Robin called, they came with one strange icecream truck that was on the route to the airport. His excuse was that he was on the radio when some dude's voice said he had to come here. The guy drove off having to lock his back door to the truck. They are the only icecream service in town that has the "Arctic Ice Cones" so he had to get a refill of the arctic ices they keep in stock. From the back of the truck a set of red eyes peered at the titans, he watched as Robin laid his hand on Starfire's shoulder, and she smiled up at him. Freeze… or Victor, simply smiled as he then looked at the charm in his spider hand. He knew it was time to take and rest, immortal or not he would take and rest in the arctic, and possibly he could even dream.

Robin was watching as the Joker was rolled out into a medi-vac, the Joker grinned at Robin saying, "Hey, don't worry kid I'm done with you, I have to say you're life's going to get MUCH worse than it would from me!"

The Joker then cackled again and was put into the wagon. The Joker stopped laughing and only smiled remembering the roof. "You will so wish I was back here in no time."

The titans had returned home, tired and beat like never before they each wanted to simply go to their beds and rest. Robin had not done that though he grabbed Star and ushered her to the roof and said, "Star, I really was worried." Star narrowed her eyes, "Not scared but worried, worried I lost you forever."

Star smiled, she sort of sat herself onto the side of the ledge and admitted, "I too was worried we would not find each other in the same world tonight. I feared losing you greatly Robin."

Robin sat down next to her and smiled, "Star, let's not let something like this happen again. I want you to know I love you Star."

Star looked happy, then sad, "You can not be sure, can you?"

Robin grabbed his mask and took it off, she looked into his eyes and smiled, "They are beautiful Robin."

Robin put the mask on and said, "I know, and their not a killer's eyes. I had a chance to kill him but I felt, he didn't deserve he right to say he made me into a killer. I also felt if you were watching, you'd be kind of upset if I killed even him."

Starfire giggled, "I actually would have been Robin, though not for who he was but what he was." She nodded, "Yes, life is precious even if it is the lifew of a makeup wearing maniac."

"Actually, his skin is bleached white."

Starfire paused, then began to squeal in joy, "How can one bleach their skin like this, is this how Michael Jackson became so light?"

Robin became shifty eyed, "Really, I don't think you are on subject here." He grabbed her hand saying, "I want us to make a relationship Star, starting." He leaned into her, cupping her chin in his hand and ushering it into his slowly. Star blushed, she felt like in all her dreams that was the moment, their eyes were locked and she felt he was going to make sparks fly through the sky. Robin, in all honesty, was more worried of making it be special. Who was he to try and kiss her, she was the sweetest girl he ever knew. Then he calmed his thoughts as he remembered that she loved him to, this was mutual. He was going to kiss her when Cyborg popped up saying, "Yo guys! Looky who's dropped in!" he then blushed saying, "Whoah, look out Casanova!"

Starfire turned with flames in her eyes, Robin the same thing. Cyborg shrunk into a peanut size and said in a squeaky voice, "Um… sorry." He then poofed to normal and shut the door. Robin and Star looked at each other realizing the moment was ruined, and the writer felt so upset he ruined that moment for comical relief… sigh.

The Titans were in the main living room, on the sofa were three shadows. Starfire blinked at the three not sure how to respond, the smallest shadow had come running to Robin and it seemed to be a miniature version of him. Robin's exact look alike, if ever there was one. This was Tim Drake, the Robin that took over in Robin's replacement, an orphan adopted by Bruce Wayne. The woman now came over to smile and chat with Robin, this was Barbara, aka Batgirl. Batgirl then turned to the final shadow. Robin felt so stunned, and yet happy. Batman slowly made his way out to the main room, his long black cape around his shoulders, connected to the mask that fit his face and then had a dual set of points at the top. Batman gave a small cocky grin, and Robin returned it. The two then hugged each other and laughed at how long they had seen one another.

Beast Boy was zoned out like another Mad Mod deal, he was drooling until Raven nudged him. Beast Boy shook his head saying, "Thanks."

Raven turned to the side saying, "Whatever, just didn't want you to embarrass us."

Beast Boy's ears drooped, he figured she was regressing to that whole dark mood again. Then he felt something in his hand, his ears perked up as Raven squeezed her hand into his. Beast Boy growled and she gripped his lips, "Try to kiss me, you get disemboweled."

Beast Boy squeaked from his lips, "Okay, take it slow."

The heroes talked for some time, about the fights, about Freeze, about Joker, everything was so amazingly wild Batman couldn't help but listen. As the group became more party like though, Batman made his way upstairs. He looked out until he heard someone come after him, it was Robin. Robin smiled saying, "I'm glad you came Bruce."

Batman smiled, "Of course I did, you may not be my partner but you still mean a lot to me Dick."

Robin blushed, "Call me Robin please."

"Then call me Batman." Batman gave a little grin and Robin rolled his eyes, "Fine, if I must. So what brings you here? Not just to congratulate us on the Joker."

Batman narrowed his eyes, "I found Firefly," Robin seemed delighted, "He was in his underwear and was on the streets, he wasn't anywhere near the Joker's hideout."

Robin was shocked, he saw him! "Then who was it?"

Batman narrowed his eyes to the horizon, "I don't know Robin, but who ever it is, they didn't want Joker here."

There was a lone cloaked figure walking through the burnt debris. He slowly walked over to some metal and kicked it out of the way. The figure laughed, and remembered when he was on the rooftop with the Joker. The Joker broke the Firefly mask and the flames caused the orange mask, with the one eye slot to show through. The owner was Slade, he was alive and well. He narrowed his eye to the Joker saying, "You came into my town, and tried to take from my fridge. Consider this a mere warning that if you ever try to take the titans, especially Robin, I will make you suffer like no one before."

Slade kicked some more debris, and turned to leave. He had an empire to rebuild, well, when he wanted to at least. Most still thought him dead, and that's how he liked it.

Batman, Batgirl, and young Robin made their ways outside taking the Batmobile home. Cyborg sighed, he was so beat he figured it was time to sleep with his baby… he meant the T-Car.

Beast Boy rubbed the sleep from his eyes and was headed to his room as Raven asked, "Could you come to my room?"

Beast Boy slowly turned his head, "Um…" he had a blank look, and sort of shocked. Raven narrowed her eyes saying, "I'm not going to offer this often Beast Boy."

Beast Boy then leapt through the door and seemed to beam at the privilege of this. Raven sat at the end of her bed saying, "Well? What are you doing?"

Beast Boy was looking into a glass orb and turned to see her sitting on her bed, she patted it. Beast Boy turned red drooping his ears, "Ra-a-ve-."

Raven narrowed her eyes, "Sit down already."

Beast Boy dropped down, "Oh," he was twiddling his thumbs in embarrassment. "Sorry, I was worried that you wanted… something…"

Raven was looking away, and then she turned with a devilish grin. She leapt onto Beast Boy and straddled him as part to a joke, Beast Boy had frozen in total shock mode. Raven frowned saying, "Okay, now you suck."

She got off and Beast Boy slowly got the feeling back in his body. "Um… just a lot to take in tonight."

Raven sighed, she was hoping they could at least act like a couple. Beast Boy got a sly grin, "Hey Raven." She turned and he smacked his knuckles in the air. "Knock, Knock!"

Raven narrowed her eyes, "Who's there?"

Beast Boy answered, "Love."

"Love who?"

She turned to him and his face was inches away from hers, she tensed up as he said, "You, duh." He then put his lips on hers. She blushed, and he did the same. They were basically touching their lips together, then things got more heated. Beast Boy pulled her closer by the waist and she grabbed his face to get it more to her. She was so embarrassed she swore some lights in the hall blew, Beast Boy was so stunned her finally acted on his feelings he swore he was going to turn into a wolf and howl any second. The thing was, they knew this but didn't stop. After a few moments they parted slowly, and opened their eyes, Beast Boy smiled saying, "Well? How was it?"

Raven shrugged, "Alright, I guess."

Beast Boy flopped on the bed saying, "Aw man!!!"

Raven smirked as she flopped onto his chest, "Beast Boy, I was picking."

Beast Boy grinned, "Well, I know I never thought about kissing a girl like that before, not even you."

Raven rolled away from Beast Boy saying, "So you've thought of other girls?"

Beast Boy smacked his forehead, "I didn't mean it that way."

Raven rolled over smiling, "You are so gullible!"

Beast Boy grinned as he tucked his arm under her saying, "You know, I really want us to have something, a real relationship."

Raven nodded, "Me to."

Beast Boy pulled down her hood, her eyes were so bright and her face was happy. Beast Boy brushed her hair back and said, "You are really beautiful when you're not hiding behind that hood."

Raven raised a brow asking, "I'm not when I am hiding."

Beast Boy gave her a look and she grinned, "Oh, he's catching on." She levitated her hood off and onto her rack. "Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?"

Beast Boy and Raven just laid there, Raven fell asleep on Beast Boy's chest and he smiled. Things were not like he dreamed, they were a lot better.

Starfire was in her bed petting Silkie, Silkie the worm pudgily moved on the bed as she pet it's back. Starfire sighed as she remembered she lost the perfect moment, Robin would probably never take that moment again. Starfire then jumped as she felt the arms wrap around her waist. Star turned and saw Robin smiling at her. She blushed as Robin grinned saying, "I owe you a kiss."

Star turned around and was face to face with Robin, Robin pulled her in with his one hand, as he cupped her soft cheek in his ungloved hand. Robin then leaned in and Starfire closed her eyes in anticipation. There it was, the two kissed a nice slow kiss. That lasted a second before they then began to move into each other. Starfire was grabbing Robin's arms and pulling him into the kiss, Robin did the same. They moaned as they then pitched their heads back and forth looking at eachother and feeling light headed. Robin was not one for this emotion, and Star was not the kind of girl to well kiss a guy. Then she blushed saying, "Robin!" she then slapped his face, "I am not that kind of girl!"

Robin grabbed his face asking, "What did I do?"

Starfire narrowed her eyes to then see her Silkie was crawling up her skirt, she blushed as she peeled him off and put him on the ground. She then sat at the end of the bed saying, "I am sorry, I was not sure what you wanted."

Robin hopped to the end next to her smiling, "Starfire, I guess it's kind of my fault with the vibes I give off." He cupped her hand in his, "I really just want to love you."

Starfire grinned, "And I you."

Robin saw her lay her head on his shoulder, Robin smiled saying, "How about I just hold you, and wait for you to get some sleep."

Starfire smiled, "I would like that Robin." She then kissed his cheek saying, "I am so joyful that you are not unhappy anymore."

Robin held her close saying, "I'm just glad we're not treating these emotions like jokes."

Starfire smiled saying, "Yes, that was quite a terrible problem."

The morning, everyone woke to breakfast. Raven was sitting with Beast Boy talking on several topics from horror movies to food. Starfire talked with Robin on his home of Gotham as she explained some things of her home world of Tamaran. Cyborg was watching with a big grin, he never thought he'd see all of the team so happy. Then there was the alarm, the titans looked around and Robin grinned. "Titans… GO!"
