Chapter One- Volunteer
Friday, 10:30 am
"So, Cyborg, what is this thing called again?"
"Again? Geez, Robin, I've explained this way too many times. It's a conscious matter demobilizer. Got it?"
How did I forget it in the first place? thought Robin.
The conscious matter demoblizer was the topic of the morning, apparently. It was a weapon, held with both hands, about the sixe of a toolbox, colored silver, with a turquoise beam (demonstrated a few minutes ago), and Cyborg's new pride and joy.
"See, what it does is," Cyborg started to explain for the third time, "when you fire the beam at someone, it releases a laser beam of sorts that stuns and/or immobilizes the target. If ever our powers can't take down an enemy, this baby will."
"You sure of that, Cy?"
''Well... no. That's why I wanted to talk to you. I was wondering if, in our next battle, if I could use my new creation as the dealbreaker!"
Robin stared, and pondered this for a moment. "Um... well, OK, Cyborg. I guess this could work into our advantage. So, I guess all we need is a batt-"
Almost scheduled, the other 3 Titans burst into the room.
"Robin! Hey, man, Robin!" Beast Boy could barely control himself, even though he'd just woken up.
"Friend Robin, we tried to to tell him..." Starfire interupted.
"We DID tell him you were in a secret meeting, and didn't want interrupting." Raven delivered dryly.
"This is an emergency!" BB could barely contain himself. "L- look, last night I was, uh, doing the patrol, like you asked, right? And- and, I overheard a suspicious conversation, OK, so I decided to do some reconaissance, OK-
"YOU did stealth?" Cyborg couldn't help but inquire.
"And weren't caught? This is a emergency." Raven added.
Robin and Cyborg tried hard to keep in their laughter. Beast Boy looked angry- he knew tomorrow he would have come up with a good comeback.
"Look, anyway, I heard some teen guy talking to himself. He was a real head case. He said he was going to go on a rampage tomorrow at the high school!"
Robin didn't expect this.
"Hmm... good work. Did he say when?"
"Today. He said "at the end", so I assume he meant as soon as school got out."
"Does anyone know the whereabouts of any major villains? Slade or Brother Blood or someone?"
"There have been no sightings of anyone for the past few days." Starfire reported.
Robin looked slightly disappointed, but, still kept his composure. He turned to Cyborg.
"Well, Cyborg, it looks like you found your volunteer..."
