Disclaimer (Since I haven't put one since the prologue): I don't own Teen Titans.
Note: The title of this chapter has NOTHING to do with the Simple Plan song 'Untitled'. I just couldn't think of a title.
Chapter 7 "Untitled"Ding, Dong
"I got it"
Archie opened the entrance to the tower. A postal robot was standing there with a small package.
"Can I help you?" The redhead asked moving some hair behind her ear.
"Yes, this is for Cyberwasp," the robot said in a mechanical voice "could you give it to him please?"
"Sure."
"Sign here…and have a good day."
Archie closed the door and walked up the stairs staring at the package. She walked into the living room and tossed it to Cyberwasp (who was having his morning coffee.)
"What's this?" He asked staring at the box.
"Don't know." Archie answered taking a brush and combing her hair. It was early so everyone was eating breakfast, drinking coffee, or sleeping on the couch. Cyberwasp stared at the package then opened it.
"I won!" He suddenly shouted getting everyone's attention.
"Won what?" Changer asked
"Remember when I entered the 'win free tickets for random movie for you and up to ten people' contest?"
"Uh…yeah."
"Well, I WON!"
"Congratulations, what's the movie?" Firebird asked.
Cyberwasp looked at the ticket, "Looks like we're gonna see Clash of the Worlds!"
"What?" The group of Titans gathered around.
"Dude this is awesome!" Beast Boy said getting teary-eyed at the sight of the futuristic tickets.
"Yeah, back home this movies not gonna be out for another three months." Cyborg agreed.
"Hey Arella, remember when eight and nine and dad brought home the 2005 edition?" Changer asked nudging her.
"Don't remind me." After she saw that, Arella couldn't sleep for weeks.
"When is the movie?" Firebird asked.
Cyberwasp looked at the tickets. "Looks like it's gonna be at around eight tonight.

It happened slowly, but sure enough, eight o'clock came around. The Titans had spent most of the day trying to color Beast Boy's skin. Cyberwasp had insisted that Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy come along. It was easy for the first mentioned to get ready. Cyborg used a hologram ring like he did in the episode "Deception" and Robin would wear normal clothes (and sunglasses to replace his mask).
Beast Boy was difficult because he had green skin and with the exception of Changer, everyone would find it weird that there was a green skinned kid hanging around. After chasing him around, Firebird suggested that they just call Beast Boy a splicer.
"What's that?" Robin asked.
"Humans mixing their DNA with animal DNA, it tends to cause skin color change and… other changes."
"That can't be legal."
"It's not. Course, no one really cares and the cops are too busy to worry about it."
"Some things never change."
That was hours ago and now they were going to the movies. They were walking into the movies and when the rest of the citizens saw the Titans, they cheered in fanfare.
"We love you Titans/ Teen Titans rule/ Firebird's hot!"
Firebird's face turned red. Robin, for some reason, got a little defensive. Whether it was that she was going to be his future daughter or because Firebird looked like Starfire, he did not know. Some girls came over asking Circuit for an autograph. Soon other people were surrounding the Titans, well most of them, Cyberwasp was kept in the background.
"Billy, would you like an autograph from the nice man Cyberwasp?" A mother said to her son.
"No way! That guy's a freak!"
"Billy, it's not nice to call people freaks," his mother scolded.
"But that's what he is mom."
Billy's mom took her son away. Cyberwasp frowned at the situation, sure he looked a little different… ok he looked very different, but he never really thought about it much. He watched as his friends signed autographs, some guys flirted with the girls.
He waited for the crowd to die out. "Hey if you guys want I can get us some popcorn," he suggested.
"Sure."
"Sounds good to me."
"Yeah!"
"Make sure there's no butter," were their responses.
"All right then. You guys get the seats, I'll get the food."
Cyberwasp made his way over to the concession stand. "Let's see, I'll take a large popcorn, no butter, and a medium diet-diet soda."
"Uh… sir, might I suggest a medium popcorn, the large is half the size of Rhode Island."
"All right, give me a medium." The stand person left to get the popcorn and the soda.
"Hey isn't that Cyberwasp?" a guy asked his friend.
"You mean the Titan?" his friend asked back.
"No the freak in front of us. Of course there's not much of a difference anyway."
"Ha, ha."
Guy A and Guy B laughed at their "joke". Some people also laughed. Suddenly Cyberwasp didn't feel like going to the movies.
-
A half hour past since the movie started and no sign of Cyberwasp or their popcorn. With the exception of ever-observant Arella, the Titans were too absorbed in the movie to notice. Arella quickly left the theater and exited into the lobby shaking from fear (she doesn't like 'Clash of the Worlds'). She took a look around the lobby. "Where's Cyberwasp?"
Arella walked out of the theater and onto the street. She spent a little time walking and found Cyberwasp at the park.
"Hey."
"Hey," Cyberwasp responded. "Why aren't you seeing the movie?"
"Got scared. What about you? Why are you out here?
Cyberwasp didn't answer, not that it mattered. Arella saw through the silence though. "People teasing you again?"
"Yeah."
"Don't listen to them. Don't forget, Firebird and I aren't exactly normal."
"Yeah, but you still look normal; I don't."
"You're just- whoa!"
"I'm just whoa?" Cyberwasp questioned.
"Look."
Cyberwasp turned around. The park had changed. The trees went from brown and green to purple and red, and looked like a giant mushroom. The grass turned orange.
"Hahaha." A person dressed as Mumbo ran by casting a spell on a nearby bench making it grow bat wings and teeth.
"Looks like Vini-veeti has returned," there was sarcasm in Arella's voice.
"Let's get him."
The magician laughed insanely, but stopped when he saw Arella and Cyberwasp.
"Well, it seems I've been greeted by the two Titans," he chuckled. "Doesn't matter, you'll never beat the great Illusist."
Arella and Cyberwasp sweat dropped.
"Look, we're not in the mood, so just make this easy on yourself," Cyberwasp said.
"Sorry, but you can't catch what you can't see." With a wave of his wand, Illusist produced a cloud of smoke over the two Titans.
"Can't see."
"Got it covered." Cyberwasp switched his mode of vision to heat and looked around.
"There! Come on." Cyberwasp ran out of the smoke, switching back to normal vision, with Arella close behind. The bench mentioned earlier tried attacking them, but Arella pushed it away with her powers.
They chased after the rogue magician, having to avoid mutated vending machines and stop signs. At one point the ground opened up and almost ate Cyberwasp. The chase lasted a while. When it stopped Arella and Cyberwasp found themselves at a circus outside the city.
"Freak show?" Cyberwasp looked at the sign above the main tent. Arella looked down below, and saw that inanimate objects were pushing people into the tent.
Arella and Cyberwasp went down to take a closer look. The mutated items were pushing people into cages.
"Well, this gives me a reason to not come to the circus," Arella commented. She watched as Illusist walk up to the cage. "Guess that's my cue. Azarath Hezbarak Mortix!"
She used her powers to manipulate a pole and sent it flying at Illusist. The magician just barely dodged the pole. "What? Who did that?"
He turned around and spotted Arella floating above him. "Ah, the mystic titan. Alakazam!"
Illusist waved his wand and lightning popped out of it. Arella raised a shield. The attack bounced off the shield and hit the magician's cape, lighting it on fire.
"Ow, ooh, hot, hot, hot!" the crazy magician ran around the tent screaming. Meanwhile Cyberwasp snuck over to the cage where everyone was held.
"Don't worry, I'm gonna get you out." He said, grabbing the bars. He pulled on them, but couldn't get the bars off the cage. He pulled hard and managed to get the bars off its hinges.
Illusist saw that Cyberwasp was doing and fired a ball of fire at him. Arella circled around raised a shield to block the attack. Cyberwasp took out his sonic cannon and fired it at Illusist who made a back flip to avoid the blast.
"I think it's time to end this," Arella said.
"Yeah," Cyberwasp agreed charging forward.
-
Within minutes Illusist was beaten and everyone held hostage was released. The police came to escort Illusist to jail. Arella and Cyberwasp were outside watching in case he tried to pull off an escape. He didn't and the police car drove off. Arella took out her communicator, checking the time.
"It's almost ten, we should head back to the theater," She said looking at him.
"Yeah the movie's probably over… ah man I missed the movie."
Arella and Cyberwasp started to head back to the city.
"Hey look it's Cyberwasp!" A little boy yelled, running over with his brother and sister.
"Cyberwasp you're so cool!" The boy commented.
"Can you sign this please?" The girl asked holding out a notebook.
Cyberwasp couldn't help smiling. "Sure kid. I'd be glad to," he answered, signing the notebook. Arella smiled too and walked away. Suddenly, she stopped. She looked over to a warehouse she hadn't noticed.
Normally she'd just ignore it, but something about it made her uneasy. She made her way over to the warehouse and looked through the window. Arella's eyes widened and she took her communicator out.
"Firebird, it's Arella."
"Arella, where are you? You and Cyberwasp missed the movie," Firebird commented.
"We ran into a little trouble, but that's not important and this is."
"What is it?"
Arella looked back into the window. "I think I just found Timezone's hideout."
End Chapter 7
Now that the fillers are done this story will start getting back on track and will begin coming to an end. My goal is to have the next chapter up by October 13, my birthday.
