Gilraen Luinwe: I'm glad u lyked the cheesy moments. I didn't really put a lot of thought in2 them, but I guess they're good. Oh + thanx 4 the ideas, I myte use them, they're really great. Thanx. Yes I noe my writing is horrible, but it's faster + I've been on summer vacation 4 3 months, so I tend 2 b as lazy as possible. It kinda gets people 2 pay more attention, when they try 2 read it + I lyke writing lyke this, bcuz it's a challenge+ yes I noe how to spell DUDES, but DOODS sounds the same + I'm not in school, so I can't get in trouble. Ha ha! But I have 2 say, getting yelled at tyme from tyme is fun, so thanx 4 the lecture! Oh + the cancellation of powers, that was something I wouldn't thought of. I will definitely use it, if u don't mind! Lol.

Without Further Ado, Chapter 8.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:
A T-shaped tower stood in the center of a mirror of water. The lights inside shone brightly, lighting up the rest of the city. The four Titans sat in front of it, tossing rocks into the water, gently rippling it. Their facial expressions were as happy as a dog in a dinosaur museam, but deep inside they all felt the same: sad, empty, lonely, and slightly confused. With the one roll model that they had all looked up to gone, they were lost completely.
Time after time, the alarm went off, echoing through the halls of the tower. Being so used to running off to face the new threat, each one would jump from their previous activities. After realizing that they had nothing to fight with, they immediately sat back down, hopes crushed. With a few days had gone by, the blaring noise was easily ignored, everyone knowing that Robin would be there in a heartbeat.
Raven's hand searched the gorund for a new rock to throw. Her thoughts were clouded, mainly focusing on her friends. Beast Boy hadn't cracked a joke since Robin left, Starfire's endless amounts of pudding had suddenly ceased, and Cyborg hadn't evn tried to get a new Game Station. She closed her hand, her fingers wrapped around a hard cold object, and she turned to see what it was.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:
With each and every threat locked tightly up, Robin had nothing to do. His new powers were serving him well, even better than the old days, with the old team. He would think of them often, never bothering to wonder how they were doing. His thoughts only focused on him, and nothing else.
He walked around the city, noting no need for help. He stopped in front of a huge stone building. He reached to open the door, and entered the jail. He passed many cells, smiling to himself at each villain he saw. He turned to see each one glaring at him, a look of revenge in their eyes.
"So, where's the rest of your scuz-sniffing team?"
Gizmo was grasping the metal bars of his cell, getting as close to Robin as possible. Behind him was Jinx and Mammoth, who were sitting on an old wooden bench in the back. In the far corner, were a few of Gizmo's inventions, along with some screwdrivers and a hammer.
"Who knows, who cares? I didn't need them anymore, so I left them."
Jinx stood and joined her smart friend. "You left the Titans? Their leader, the head honcho? Why?"
Robin transformed his arm into Cyborg's beloved sonic cannon. The Hive stared in disbelief. "Let's just say, I'm better off on my own. Besides, the Titans were always weighing me down, never letting me reach my full potential. Now that I left, there's no limit to what I can do."
"So you left your friends because you wanted to be better?" Jinx asked. "Have you taken a look at our team? Sure Mammoth and Gizmo are nothing but trouble and I might hate them, but I wouldn't leave them. They're my team, who I am, and what I'll become."
"Yeah, even if we are stuck in this joint because of the stupid mistake that someone made," Gizmo retorted, shooting a glance towards Mammoth. He smiled sheepishly, and shrugged his shoulders.
Robin rolled his eyes and continued on, pushing the advice he had been given in one ear and out the other. They were wrong, the Titans weren't his team anymore. They were useless to him, so why bother going back?
"Go reunite with the team, you brainless zit!" Gizmo's voice echoed through the stone building, and barely reached Robin's ears. He opened the door, and exited into the rainy streets.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:
Raven stared down at her hand, the mangled control in between her fingers. She got the other's attention, showing them the ball of metal. Cyborg immediately recognized, and a wide smile warmed his face. They raced inside to fix it up, and hopefully get their friend back. The half-robot carefully inspected it, the others surrounding him.
They silently watched him rewire the circuits, sparks flying in every direction, as the control slowly began taking on its original form. Beast Boy's humor kept them awake, while Raven brought gallons of coffee and tea to her friends. Starfire helped Cy in anyway possible.
"So Raven, what do you call a gorilla with ear muffs?"
She sipped her tea, annoyed with his jokes. "A gorilla with ear muffs?" she answered sarcastically.
"No, anything you want, he can't hear you!" He started to laugh uncontrollably, while everyone else tuned him out.
After two days of no sleep and non-stop work, the control was finally back to normal. The lights glowed brightly, as they all nodded in approval. The situation had just changed, and the odds were in their favor. Now all that was left was to get Robin to give their powers back, but that was the hard part.
Cy yawned, as he set the finished control on the kitchen counter. "Yeah, I'm going to get some rest too," Raven quickly agreed. "The wrinkles under my eyes have wrinkles. I can't live without my beauty sleep."
Beast Boy chuckled and mumbled to himself, "There aren't enough hours in a day."
They all retreated to get some much-needed sleep, but before exiting the room, BB took on last look at the Puppet King's control. He watched as the blue light slightly dimmed, but shrugged off the thought and ran to his room. Finally, for the first time in days, the Teen Titans got a full night of sleep.
