Well that's about all I have to say so here's chapter five.
Chapter 5: The First Test
The King and Queen sat on the couch watching the TV with some confusion. There daughter had taught them how to use the device shortly after they had settled down in the Titan's guest room. Currently The King was flipping through the channels as The Queen sat in deep thought, as usually. The rest of the Titan's were off training outside, The King wanted to go to keep an eye on his daughter but his wife had held him back. So now they are sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Myand'r?" The Queen said in Tamaranean, addressing her husband.
"Yes my dear Luand'r," Myand'r said also in Tamaranean, never taking his eyes off the screen. He had grown quickly to this Earth costume.
"I have spoken to Koriand'r," Luand'r said referring to there daughter, "as well as this Robin boy." Luand'r watched as the anger in Myand'r eyes grew, although they still never left the screen.
"What is your point my dear," Myand'r said, suppressing the angry in his voice so not to offend his beloved wife.
"I believe we should return home and let them have this child in peace," Luand'r said with some demand in her voice. Myand'r did not fold instead he finally took his eyes off the screen and faced his wife.
"I will not have my first grandchild born some half-breed scum," he said no longer withholding his anger.
"Calm yourself husband," Luand'r said putting a hand on his shoulder, "there love is a Tamaranean one. You best should know the affects of that," she said looking at him in a knowing manner.
Myand'r reflected back to when he was young and had just started to court Luand'r. "This is different," he said in a huff.
"You know it is not," Luand'r said once again giving him that look.
Myand'r turned back to the TV continuing to flip through the channels, trying to ignore the fact that his wife was partly right, but he still hated Robin with all his heart. "We should have just done what that nice Kryptonian couple did and launched are child into space," he said coming to a news report were a man in blue, red and yellow tights was lifting a truck above his head as bank robbers shot at him. The King quickly changed the channel, he didn't like fiction.
That's when the alarm came on, the cooking show on the TV being replaced by the emergence signal. The Titans came running in with Raven and Starfire's month long pregnant bellies slightly sticking out. "What's the emergence," Robin said as he caught his breath from the run up the Tower.
"How would I know?" The King asked in English harshly. Robin gulped as The King sent one of his glares at him.
"There's some kind of disturbance downtown," Cyborg said from in front of the computer, "whoever they are there packing a punch."
"Come on then, TITANS GO!" Robin said as everyone jumped into action including Raven and Starfire. "Wait, were are you two going?" Robin said as he stopped the two girls.
"To fight crime and defeat the villain," Starfire said in a slightly more quit voice then usually, "is that not are job."
"Well consider yourself on maternity leave," Beast Boy said gently sitting the two down on the couch.
"I don't want ether of you getting hurt," Robin said more to Starfire then Raven. Beast Boy showed similar worry for Raven but he added a kiss something Robin would have done if The King wasn't breathing down his neck.
"Yes Robin is correct," The King said shocking the others as this was the first time he had given Robin any praise whatsoever. "You women will stay here and I will accompany the others," this caused Robin to go white at the aspect of going anywhere with The King alone.
"Are you sure about this," Robin asked in a meek tone.
"No Robin my father is right," Starfire said from the couch sounding a bit depressed, "Father should go with you."
Robin was about to say something but Cyborg cut him off, "come on King, well show you the ropes." In minutes they where in the T-car with Beast Boy in the form of a crow and The King flying beside them. Robin didn't like where this was going, he had enough detective skill to know that The King wouldn't just go on a mission just to help out.
The group arrived downtown in front of The First Bank of Jump City where The H.I.V.E. stood proudly holding a number of money bags. The entire area looked completely void of life, only a few peaces of paper littering the ground. Cyborg and Robin quickly got out of the car as The King and Beast Boy landed.
"So who you guys working for now," Robin asked smugly knowing that since Slade was defeated The H.I.V.E. had been out of business.
"No one thanks to you," Jinx said with anger.
"This is just for fun," Mammoth said as he lifted a large platform full of gold bars over his head.
"Who are these people?" The King asked Beast Boy who stood beside him.
"There The H.I.V.E.," Beast Boy said getting ready for a fight, "there tuff but with some teamwork we can take them."
A fight was just about to start with both sides ready to attack, both took off at earth other but were stopped by The King who simple yelled, "Stop!" Both sides instantly stopped and dropped there attacks.
"Who's this old fart eating wax ball," Gizmo asked using his normal language on the man that was easily triple his size.
"I am The King of Tamaran and I, little men, am here for the duration of my daughters pregnancy," The King said adding a glare at Robin at the end.
All of The H.I.V.E. members instantly broke into hysterical laughter, causing Robin to grow embarrassed and Cyborg and Beast Boy to sinker slightly. "So you finally put it to that Starfire chick, eh Robin," Gizmo said laughing so hard he was snorting. The King quickly silenced him with a very large purple Starbolt that looked much like Blackfire's.
Gizmo screamed as he jumped into Jinx's arms before the Starbolt, that stained the ground, hit him. "Get off me," Jinx yelled as she dropped Gizmo dusting herself off. " Now why did you stop are fight, your majesty," Jinx said the sarcasm rolling off her tongue.
"Robin your first test is to face these three on your own," The King said turning to Robin with a smug smile.
"Wait a minted there King," Beast Boy said franticly, "didn't you hear the whole thing about teamwork, as in a team of people."
"A boy who hopes to one day be King must not always relay on a team to help him," The King said in a very proverb way.
"Sounds good to me," Mammoth said as with a loud groan he threw the platform full of gold bars that he had had over his head the entire time at Robin. It landed a few inches in front of Robin's face causing him to flinch slightly.
"Come let us watch the fight from a safe distance," The King said as he began to causally walk away from Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg relatively fallowing.
"Ok its go time," Robin said as he pulled out his staff and did a flip on to the top of the gold bars. Jinx stood there with her arms outstretched and a Jinx-ball ready to be thrown along side Gizmo who stood with his four spider legs extended, guns at the ready and Mammoth, getting ready to charge.
Jinx and Gizmo opened fire and Mammoth charged forwards at the bars that held Robin up. Robin flipped up in the air using his staff to deflect Jinx-balls and bullets being sent by Jinx and Gizmo, who was sadistically laughing. The gold bars cashed down on Mammoth as Robin slid under Gizmo kicking out one of his mechanical legs with his foot and another with his staff.
"What are you doing you snot munching lunatic," Gizmo shouted as Robin kicked out another leg, Gizmo lost his balance only standing on one leg and began to fall. He quickly pressed a button that made the spider legs fall off and another that made wings shoot from his backpack. He flew up into the air and out of sight before even hitting the ground.
Jinx kept on throwing Jinx-balls at Robin as Mammoth ran at him again, quickly recovered from his run in with the gold. Jinx stopped firing to let Mammoth run at Robin head on and Robin quickly jumped over the tall man using his staff as leverage. He then began to fight Jinx with his staff head on.
"No weapons allowed bird-boy," Jinx said grabbing Robin's staff and yanking it out of his hands, throwing it to the ground. They then began to fight hand to hand each taking and throwing blows like crazy. Mammoth tried to sneak up behind Robin when he was fighting and throw a creep punch. But Robin quickly jumped up and over Jinx, kicking her in the back of the head and sending her straight into Mammoth's oncoming fist.
"Jinx?" Mammoth said as he looked over his unconscious companion, not believing he just knocked her out. He had no time to attack Robin as he had just grabbed one of his electrified Birdarangs and threw it at him. Mammoth yelled loudly as he was electrocuted, dropping were he stood.
"Two down," Robin said as he grabbed his Birdarang as it returned to him.
"One to go you wax covered nincompoop," Gizmo said as he once again opened fire from above. Robin quickly rolled across the ground using his cape as a shield as he grabbed his staff from were Jinx had threw it earlier. He then began to spin it rapidly and used it to reflect the bullets back towards Gizmo. They quickly put holes into his wings and he began to tailspin towards the ground. Gizmo hit the ground hard and there was a series of explosions from his backpack and then a parachute shot out of it covering him as he groaned in pain.
Robin stood there painting, the fight over as Beast Boy, Cyborg and The King stepped out of a nearby building. The King had a scowl on his face and Beast Boy and Cyborg ran towards Robin congratulating him as they went. But Robin didn't notice as he just remained a steady gaze with The King. Robin smiled as he said, "that the best you got?"
