-This is Chapter 10 of "Two Birds and a Burning Sun, Part 2"! Though I'm still relatively busy, since I still have midterms, quizzes, and an essay coming up to worry about, well, I can still squeeze this chapter in.

-Oh, and this is the start of "Slade Attacks!" It is going to last for a few chapters, and literally up to the conclusion. We'll even have a few cameos too!

Titan Tower

Robin looked over the city map. "I knew it, Slade attacking us in the mine was a diversion. His real target was the prison where Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload were kept!" However, all seemed eerily quiet at the moment. Too quiet. Currently, there was no sign of any crime being committed in Jump City. Not even a robbery by some street thug. "But what is he doing now? Shouldn't now be the time to launch his strike?"

Cyborg came in, making circles with his left arm. He had to fix a few parts that were damaged during the last attack. "But that attack was still quiet aggressive. If it wasn't for some quick thinking, we'd all be dead right now."

Robin nodded. Thinking back at the incident in the mine, it was way too close for comfort for any of them. If Slade didn't intend for us to be dead, he certainly not showing it. "I don't think Slade is leaving anything to chance. He wants power. And we're the only thing standing in his way."

There was a loud POW! Then, "OOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Seemed to have come from a certain redhead.

Robin and Cyborg looked back. "Starfire?"

Raven walked in with a content face, reading a book.

Robin raised an eyebrow. "Raven? Raven…"

Raven had an innocent expression. "What? I didn't do anything!"

Cyborg scratched his head. "Then…"

Raven got close to Robin, and wrapped her arm around his. "Oh Starfire? I don't know what was wrong with her. I was certain that she saw that wall in front of her!"

Starfire came into the room with steam coming out of her head. She had a huge bump on her head. She got in front of Raven and pointed an accusation finger at her. "This klorblok clearly violated your amendment! She must be banished from being near you now!" Starfire practically yelled her command.

Robin eyes were wide open. "Ummmm…well…."

"But Robin…" Raven looked at Robin with pleading eyes. She seemed to be on the verge of tears. "I was reading a book! All I did was move a wall that was in my way!"

"The klorblock admits it! She must now be banished!" Starfire pushed her face into Raven.

Raven pushed back. "Maybe if you watched where you were going, this wouldn't be a problem!"

"Watched where I was going?" Starfire's eyes glowed green. "I was watching the direction I was going! But that wall moved where I was going!"

Robin looked at the two. He feels really small at the moment. "Ummmm…I guess Raven has a point."

Starfire's mouth flew open in disbelief. Raven beamed. Starfire's anger grew so much she exploded with her eyes glowing.

"But…that was still a mean thing you did to Starfire, Raven. So…" Robin scratched the back of his head.

Raven was now completely stunned. She looked at Starfire, who was now on cloud nine. Now Raven exploded. Electricity seemed to be flying out of Raven.

Robin again shrank in size. This time however, Cyborg joined him. Cyborg looked at Robin. "Ummmm…Rob, have any bright ideas now?"

Robin shook his head. 'Why do I have to be the 'lucky' one?'

As if to prove that there was a god, Beast Boy came into room. "Hey guys…"

Starfire and Raven were about to attack each other. Lucky for them, Beast Boy's entrance made sure that they didn't do anything either one would regret. Of course, the same can't be said to the wall around Beast Boy. Beast Boy's distraction turned Starfire and Raven's attention to him. POW! By doing so, the two girls blasted their powers at Beast Boy, or, more actually, around Beast Boy. Beast Boy blinked stunned as he is now standing in the doorway, no longer connected to the wall. The doorway collapsed to the ground, causing a loud BOOM sound and raised smoke all around him.

Robin sighed. 'At least they didn't do anything bad."

Beast Boy blinked a few more times.

Starfire and Raven, looked stunned as well, before they both put on a huge nervous smile.

Cyborg looked at the scene. 'Well, someone has to say something.' "What's up BB?"

Beast Boy snapped out of his stupor. "Huh? Oh, ummm…well, remember our food situation…"

When Beast Boy mentioned food, all five Teen Titan's stomach growled. They looked back at Beast Boy and nodded.

"We must find nourishment!" Starfire stated the obvious.

Cyborg agreed. "Well, lets try this again. But first…" Cyborg rushed off to his garage. There were some sounds of stuff moving around, then he came right back to the spot where the other Titans were at. "There! Now we are ready to go out again!"

The other Titans blinked. Finally Robin broke the silence. "Cyborg, what did you do?"

Cyborg crossed his arms. "Just added a few explosives into the car. If Slade attacks now, well, BAM!"

Robin smiled. "Good. Now…" He grabbed Starfire's hand. "Time to get some grub!"

Beast Boy smiled. "Finally!" He turned into a rabbit and hopped off to the car.

Starfire turned to Raven and stuck her tongue out. 'I'm beginning to like this gesture.' Starfire surmised.

Raven became extremely furious. She grabbed BB, whose eyes widen, and started bashed him into Starfire.

Starfire's eyes widened. "OW!"

Robin stopped his advancement. He looked at one of Starfire's arm, which fell limp to the ground. Starfire was a few inches into the ground, with the still rabbit formed Beast Boy seeing stars. Robin looked at Raven whose still wearing an innocent expression.

"What?" Raven replied innocently. "I didn't touch her."

Fast Burger

Before they did any real shopping, the Titans stopped by a fast food joint for some grub.

Cyborg licked his lips. "Time to start this day right with a nutritious meal!"

Starfire was confused. "Food that is fast is nutritious?"

Beast Boy shook her head. "No. Not to mention…" Beast Boy looked at all the meat this place served. "Not exactly my kind of place either."

Cyborg shook his head. "At least it taste better."

Robin shook his head. "Whatever, so, I guess I'm ordering." Robin walked up to the counter.

The blond girl, wearing an alternating red and white stripped Fast Burger uniform, with red pants and a paper hat, looked at Robin, unenthusiastically. She seemed to be drained of anything resembling of happiness at the moment. She looked at Robin, and slowly responded the store's mantra in a very monotone voice. "Welcome to Fast Burger. How may we serve you today?"

Robin looked at the nametag. The nametag read Clover. "Well, I'll have the double burger combo, large. And…"

Cyborg pushed Robin to the side. "And a Triple pound chili burger Super Dooper combo!"

Robin slide to the side. "Okay Cyborg. That and…" He looked back at Raven and Starfire. "So, what do you two want?"

Raven sighed. "I'll just have a chicken sandwich, and an ice tea."

Starfire looked at the menu. "I'll have that one!" Starfire pointed at the picture.

Robin looked at the picture. It was a super spicy BBQ burger combo. 'I wonder if Starfire knows how spicy it is. All well, if she wants it, she'll get it.' "Sure thing Star. And one last thing…" Robin looked at the menu, then back at Beast Boy. 'Ummm…this place certainly isn't a place for Beast Boy. But, hopefully there is something he could eat here.' "Beast Boy?"

Beast Boy looked from menu to menu. "Ummm…do you have any tofu burgers here?"

Clover shook her head. "If you are on that low carb diet…" Clover continued in her monotone depressed voice. "We have those new low carb burgers where they take out the bun."

Beast Boy sighed. "Great. Ummmm…do you have any salads?"

Clover nodded. "We have fried chicken salad, chef salad with extra ham and turkey, and a big mound of beef salad."

Beast Boy's frown deepened. "Do you have anything that doesn't contain meat?!"

Clover looked back at the menu. "We have fries, onion rings, fried zucchini, and fried head of lettuce. That's the closet thing to non-meat you are going to get here."

Beast Boy smiled. "Well, in that case, I'll have that then!"

"Which one?" Clover asked.

"All of them! LARGE!" Beast Boy smiled.

"Okay." Clover punched in the order. "That comes out to be thirty four dollars and sixty six cents." As Robin was getting his money out, Clover whispered in contempt. "This job is so not me!"

The manager walked in. The manager is wearing long black pants, a white shirt, and a red tie. Her nametag reads 'Sam.' Sam bumped Clover in the back. "Hey, you needed a job, any job I might add, and guess what? You got it."

Clover continued to whine. "But why do you get to be manager?"

"Because, I have leadership qualities you lacked." Sam smirked. "Now smile."

Clover made a huge phony smile. After Robin paid for the meal, Clover gave them their change, their number, and their cups. Despite her smile however, her tone of voice was the complete opposite of happiness. "Enjoy your meal!"

Through the cook window, we see a brunette tanned woman wearing a paper hat. Her nametag reads Alex. "At least we're getting paid for this." She sniffs herself. "And I have to admit, I don't smell that bad!" Alex ate a fry. "And look at the benefits!"

"Alex!" Sam scolded by the corner of her mouth.

"What?" Alex retorted. "It isn't like we are really…"

Sam quickly covered Alex's mouth. "Heheh! We don't need to discuss that while we're working! Hint hint!"

Cyborg, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin all went to get their drinks. After preventing Starfire from going over the condiments section to get her 'drink', they all sat down at a table. Starfire and Raven sat next to Robin as usual. Cyborg sat near the window with Beast Boy next to him.

After a few moments, Beast Boy spoke up. "Man, the service here stinks. Especially that blond chick over there."

"I heard that!" Clover yelled back.

Sam walked out carrying a bunch of food. "Here's your food. Need anything else?"

Cyborg immediately started chopping away at his burger. Beast Boy ate a few onion rings and fried zucchini. Starfire bit into her burger. Her eyes widen as her mouth burned from the spices. She opened her mouth and flamed Beast Boy. Beast Boy was now blackened. Raven just ate quietly.

Robin looked at the others, then at Sam. "Nope. We're fine here."

Sam smiled. "Okay."

Robin's communicator sounded. He answered it and saw the face of Aqualad. "Aqualad, what's up?"

Aqualad had a serious expression on his face. "I found the Trident clones! They're on the attack!"

"Aqualad? Oh no, that means…" Robin looked up and noticed that the manager was still there. "Hello?"

Sam's eyes widened as she stared at the window.

Robin noticed this and looked at the window. His eyes widen as well. "Titans, MOVE!"

Cyborg looked out the window and quickly moved out of the way.

Beast Boy shot back behind the chair.

Starfire and Raven flew out of their seats.

Robin went over the chair just as the window was shattered by the T-Car. The T-Car rolled over and over again. The other customers got out of the way immediately.

Sam jumped to the side, avoiding the T-Car. She has one hand on the ground as if she was ready to fight.

Clover screamed. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The T-Car was coming closer and closer to her.

Alex pushed Clover out of the way. The T-Car stopped its movement when it hit the counter.

Cyborg, Robin, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Raven looked up from their position.

They see a ton of Slade robots, backed up with Trident clones through the damaged restaurant front.

"I am perfect!" He turned to the Slade robots and the other clones. "Attack! Leave no one behind!"

"Titans! Attack!" Robin got up from his position and threw a birdorang at the robot.

Beast Boy turned into a ram and rushed the first robot.

Starfire got up from her position. Her eyes glowed as she fired tons of starbolts at the robots and Trident clone.

Cyborg looked back at the T-Car. "We need to get the explosives."

Raven looked back at Cyborg. She sees a robot aiming for the car. "Cyborg! Wait!" Raven ran back to Cyborg.

A missile from the Slade robot hits the T-Car. The explosion sent everyone back. Beast Boy, who was on the street and had just broken a Trident's trident, looked at the explosion, stunned. Robin flew out of the opening of the fast food joint. Starfire was thrown to the side of a nearby building. Cyborg flew back and hit the road.

As the dust cleared, Robin looked at the area. He saw Cyborg recovering. He looked at Starfire. She seemed stunned, but was otherwise fine. He saw Beast Boy fighting and pounding against a robot. Everyone seemed to be fine. Everyone except… "Where's Raven?" Robin got up and saw someone in a cloak on the ground inside the restaurant. "Oh no!"

"Raven!" Cyborg saw Raven. She wasn't moving.

Beast Boy's eyes widened. "Raven!"

Robin looked at Raven. She's hurt and unconscious. "Raven? Raven!" Robin held Raven up. "She seems to be in some sort of trance. Healing herself." Robin looked around. "She can't stay here."

Cyborg looked at Raven. "If I only…"

Robin shook his head. "It isn't your fault! It's theirs!" Robin pointed at the continuing advancing Slade robots and Trident clones.

Starfire, though still felt a ping of jealously, she ignored it given that this wasn't the time for it. "I must help get her out of here." She turned to the Slade robots and attacked with all her might.

Cyborg followed suit. He punched a Trident clone, grabbed another clone and spun him around, launching him to a nearby Slade robot.

Beast Boy, in his gorilla form, grabbed a Slade robot and slammed it into a group of Trident clones. He continued to bash it into them, over, and over again. The robot fell apart due to the continued abuse.

Robin picked up Raven. "We need to get to someplace safe."

More and more Slade robots and Trident clones entered the area.

Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg continued to attack.

"There are too many of them!" Cyborg yelled.

Boom! Tons of Slade robots exploded behind them.

They all turned into that direction and saw a girl in a bat suit. "Follow me!"

Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Robin all looked at each other. All except one didn't know who she was. However, they all knew that she seemed to be there to help them. They all ran towards the newcomer's direction at full speed.

Once they are in an area that was momentary safe, Robin put Raven down and placed a hand on her forehead. She felt warm to Robin's touch. Robin turned to the newcomer, "Thank you. If it wasn't you…"

Starfire looked at the newcomer's face. She narrowed her eyes at her. "Who is this person Robin?"

The newcomer smirked. "So, Robbie here didn't tell you about me?"

Beast Boy and Cyborg held a blank expression.

Robin scratched the back of his head. "Well, lets just say we go way back to the days when I worked for Batman."

The newcomer smirked. "That's right Dick. Teen Titans, say hello to Batgirl!"

Building Roof

Slade looked at the city. "It has begun."

Terra stood next to Slade. "Yes, it has."

"Soon, my young apprentice. This will all be ours." Slade smirked under his mask as the sound of destruction surround him.

-------Chapter 10 is complete.

Another chapter is complete! And looks like we have a new problem for Raven and Starfire! Hehehe. Anyways, like I said, this is the start of the climax for Part 2 with Slade attacking. This siege will last for a few chapters, up until the end of Part 2.

And yes, this chapter wasn't very long. But, since I got most of what I wanted in this chapter, well, no reason to make it longer. Especially since this is the first part of Slade's attack plan.

Oh yeah, and if you noticed, Batgirl called Robin Dick. If you take your mind out of the gutter ;-), there is a reason why she did that. There was some controversy on which Robin was behind that mask. Dick Grayson or Tim Drake. While the identity was never revealed in the series, there were many hints that the Robin here is Dick Grayson. During a flashback scene in "Haunted", there was a scene with trampolines. Not to mention, it is Dick Grayson that becomes Nightwing. These are all hints on who Robin is.

What I hope to work on next? Well, slowly but surely, I am getting idea for what chapter 2 of my Ah! My Goddess story should be. Though starting Chapter 4 of my Eva fic is more realistic at the moment. Then again, I could finish up DLA with Chapter 12. Maybe I'll start Chapter 9 for Silent Titan. :-/ So many stories, so little time.

Next chapter, Slade has started his attack! How will the Titans respond? Also, what's Batgirl doing here? And should Starfire and Raven worry? Until then…later!

Omake time!

Cut!

Clover: Well, we finally got some work. (Dust self off.) But why do I have to be a fast food server? I mean look at these clothes! It is so not me!

Sam: Well, at least we got something that pays.

SimmyC: I told you I'd get you a job, and I got you a job. So, would you please stop bugging me?

Alex: Yeah. (Goes up to SimmyC). So, how much do we get paid for this?

SimmyC: (Writes a check gives it to the Spies).

Spies: (Look at the check. Their eyes widen.) THAT'S IT?!

SimmyC: (Scratches the back of his head). Well, it wasn't a major part you know.

Spies: (Narrowed their eyes towards Robin).

Clover: This is not enough!

Alex: Yeah!

Sam: (Huffs) We need a major role!

SimmyC: Well…

Clover: I'm quickly becoming out of fashion! We need more money!

Sam: Can't you upgrade our roles here? The Teen Titans obviously need help fighting Slade. Who else but us to help?

SimmyC: I'm sorry, but, well, I have no plans for a true crossover…

Spies: (Grit their teeth)

SimmyC: BUT, I do have a possible future story that could involve you three.

Spies: (Huge smiles) Really?

SimmyC: (Nods)

Spies: HUGS! (Hugs SimmyC)

SimmyC: BUT, that might not be for a while. Until then…(Snaps fingers)

Security guards: (Grabs Spies)

Clover: Oh come on, can't you leave the muscle men behind? (Being carried out by the security guards)

Spies: (Thrown out of the building) Ahhhhhhhh!

-Believe it or not, I do have a possible "Totally Spies" story in mind. The other stories will ALL have first priority over this one.
