Five reviews! Loyal reviewers make me so happy. I would've updated yesterday but I had to go 15 hours without food starting 6:00PM on 7/4 and ending yesterday so I could wait all morning for them to stick me with a needle. Then I was elsewhere for a few hours. Then my mom was gone (no mom/dad no internet). Then morning came and I'm updating. There's a look into Shadow's dull life (if you've read my profile then you know Shadow is what I call myself). Actually, the "elsewhere" was a cousin's house and I did have fun there.Enough of my rambling. If I didn't own TEEN TITANS in the last chapter, what are the chances I do now?

REVIEW REPLIES-

Travis Hicks- Pleasure's mine. Don't count on it. Maybe she will, but I'd have to be desperate to end the story. Or if she doesn't get paid (see Angst equinox's review.)

Professor Curly- Wow. Didn't know you liked it that much. YAY!

animegoddess12345-You've reviewed all my chapters except the first so... Um... Why did I write that? Anyways, glad you like it.

Andersonfanandadmirer- Thanx to both comments. I like that idea.

Angst equinox- Adding Gizmo was very interesting and completely strange in my opinion. I was going to that but I've only seen the first Home Alone (many years ago). House is pretty wrecked right now. Thanx for the suggestion. I'm no longer desperate, but I'm always open to ideas.

Babysitting Troubles

Ch7: Phase 1.3

"Pizza's here!" Devin shouted as he walked into the living room carrying about thirty pizzas. They bought thirty since Raven was paying for it (via credit card that was stolen from her).

"Yay!" Devin exclaimed. "And I set up the game we have created: Giz-bot VS Titan!" They would control the robots using GS controllers and they could see from the gigantic TV how well/bad they were doing. Basically, to them it was a game; to Raven it was a war.

"Excellent! Let the games BEGIN!" cried Gizmo. Both boys sat down and punched the buttons on the controllers starting the war/game.

"All I am trying to do is baby-sit a five-year-old brat. Why is it so hard?" Raven wondered aloud as all the robots grew spider legs like Gizmo. The robots now resembled Fang from "Date with Destiny". They attacked. Raven flew upwards to avoid the robots and then kept flying; she was going to fly out of the cellar through the stairs. When she got to the point where ordinarily she would've flown through the stairs she hit her head on the wood.

"Ow," Raven said. She looked to see what had caused her to not fly through the wall, and she couldn't believe it. Somehow, someone had painted the symbols (like the ones that were supposed to keep "everything else out" in that chamber from "The End") on the bottom of the steps/floor/walls/rest of the ceiling. This was not her lucky day.

"One more thing, scuzz-brain," Gizmo said on the communicator. "I had some symbols painted that would prevent you from exiting in that freaky bird-shadowy thing."

"Where did you find these symbols?"

"Internet! Duh!" Raven didn't see that one coming. Gizmo turned off whatever he was using to communicate with her, leaving her alone with the Giz-bots who then started shooting red lasers at her.

"I will not be defeated by some scrap metal with a retarded name," Raven told the robots (as if they gave a care). She dodged every laser they fired and realized she had two major problems: she might not live long enough to get her book, and the way Beast Boy was about video games, she was becoming over a book- but it was a really good book. Again with the thinking like Beast Boy. 'When I catch you Devin-'

"Argh!" she semi-yelled. Turns out, she had failed to dodge one of the lasers while plotting sweet revenge. She fell towards the ground for the second time that night, but when she got there she landed gracefully on her feet.

"Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS." The war had really begun.

"Uh-oh," said Devin. Now they were losing. Sure they had never been winning, but they hadn't been losing either.

Gizmo wasn't talking. He had all of his concentration on defeating the cloaked girl who was shooting dark energy from her body that was slicing through his robots. Didn't she understand how much work he had put into them? He never did forgive the Titans for the pie incident. Even now, he could hear Mother Mae-eye's voice saying "Who wants pie?" and taste the sweet taste of her mind controlling pie. This was not a good memory seeing how she had decided his "toys" were "too dangerous" and threw out all his life's work- a.k.a his backpack. Sure, they had broken free from the spell and he now had his backpack back, but you can't just forgive someone for that.

"LOSERS!" the voice in the TV shouted at the two boys.

"WINNER!" same voice, TV magnified a picture of the victorious Raven, a very angry victorious Raven. The two boys could here the buildings exploding from miles away.

"Time for phase two! RUN!" shouted Gizmo, running out the back door.

Devin had a different "phase two", and confidence that Raven wanted money more than revenge.

This time Raven levitated as she approached the door. She may have destroyed the robots, but better safe than sorry. Sorry. That's what she would make a certain three foot demon known sometimes as Devin (and sometimes as Devil) - and Gizmo.

She walked through the front door she as opened it. A bucket full of water turned upside down and first the water then the bucket landed on her head. Surprisingly, she didn't even get angry, frustrated, or even annoyed. Probably, getting soaked was nothing compared to falling fifty feet and fighting for her life.

"Let me guess," Raven began, calmly, "Phase two."

"Nope. More like phase one-point-three," Devin said. "This is phase two." With that he--

... helped Shadow find end the chapter better. Stay tuned to find out what he actually did.
