Back at the tower just as the Titans were about to fall asleep the villain alarm went off. They immediately got ready and were out the door before they knew it. "According to the directions whoever it is heading toward the piers." Robin said into his radio.

It used to be where the shipments of steel would be kept until the trucks arrived to carry it away." Said Vin, the burly Swedish, black haired, young man. He was the engineer for the team.

Gavin responded. "We're on the way."

The bikes tore through the forest and got there before the hummer because of the shortcut awarded them by the forest's road.

The canopy slid back and Gavin rose up. "Alpha seven niner, we're near the harbor via shortcut. Which warehouse is it?"

Hamberg expanded the info on the GPS.

Vin looked at the GPS map while they were stopped at a red light. "It says the warehouse is number eight-niner west side of the harbor.

Gavin looked at the warehouse lot. "Roger, I'm commencing recon. Any orders lead?"

Vin, before the light turned green, grunted. "Negative. Wait until we get there. We'll come up with something then."

Gavin nodded. "Roger lead. Piranha out." He looked over to Vypra waiting beside him. "You got that?"

She nodded. "Let's go check these goons out."

Beast boy yelled out. "Woot! It's time to kick…"

Just before he finished that a hummer passed by them.

Cyborg smiled. "Boo yeah! That dude has a sweet ride."

Beast boy looked toward the direction they were going. "Oh great master… Those were the bad guys we were looking for."

Cyborg looked at Beast boy. "Say what?"

Beast boy pointed to where they were heading. "The piers oh robotic one. That's were they're heading."

Cyborg turned on the radio that connected him to Robin. "Hey Rob, we found them. A hummer should be heading toward the pier any minute now."

Hamberg looked back at the strange car they passed only to see it following them closely. "Gee, this guy sucks at trailing someone." He sighed. "Oh well we'll deal with them once we're there."

Vin nodded. "Yeah, Krauthammer, we don't have time to fool around." Vin however did forward the message to Gavin. "Gavin, we have company."

Gavin replied, while crouching behind a few crates. He was looking toward something with some binoculars. "Yeah, I noticed, I have an odd looking guy dressed like a comic fan. I tell you Vin I hate spandex."

Vin chuckled and replied. "We'll be there in a few, with our guests right behind."

Gavin looked closer at the figure. "Is that…. Nah… couldn't be."

Vypra who was hiding with him looked toward Robin. "What? Who is it?"

Gavin shook his head. "No one important. It's just my imagination." He put the binoculars up and hopped onto the crates and sat.

Robin walked toward them and stopped.

Gavin looked down at him. "Don't you dorks ever look up?"

Robin looked up and saw an armored youth on top of the crates. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Gavin shrugged. "Our job if you must know. I take it you're here to stop us."

Robin nodded. "Damn right."

Gavin hopped down off the crates in front of Robin. He stood his full height, which was only a few inches taller than Robin. "Did you get lost heading toward the convention?"

Robin looked confused and then looked at his own outfit. "This? I dress like this all the time."

Gavin looked at him astonished. "In public? Okay, you either really weird or you have some real balls. Personally I'd vote for real weird."

Robin looked at Gavin's outfit. "I wouldn't preach to the choir if I were you."

Gavin laughed. "My armor is ten times cooler than your spandex nightmare of an outfit. Hell I've seen better costumes on a dog." He turned around and pointed to a symbol on Robin's chest. "What's the R stand for, retarded?"

Robin stood proudly as he announced his superhero name. "It stands for Robin."

Gavin burst out in laughter. "Robin? What is that a joke?"

Robin shook his head. "It's my superhero name. What's yours?"

Gavin shrugged. "Piranha, which by the way, is a hell of a lot more intimidating sounding than Robin." Gavin looked at him closer. "You say you're a superhero. I've heard of guys like you, acting outside the government, ignoring the law, taking justice into your own hands because you think the system is corrupt. A real good waste of your smarts sounds like."

Robin was about to retort when a hummer followed by the T car drove up.

Out of the hummer came a burly Swedish young man, a German with brown hair icy blue eyes, and a red head with green eyes.

Outside of the T car stepped a cybernetic African-American young man, a green boy, a strange orange skinned girl, and a hooded pale skinned beauty.

Gavin held up his hand toward his friends.

The friends came over toward him and stood behind him.

He looked over toward the crates. "Hon, it's alright to come out now."

Behind the crates came an attractive girl dressed in the same armor as Gavin, except shaped to fit the feminine form.

Gavin looked at everyone. "Everyone I'd like you to meet Robin and pals." He said as Robin's team mates came up behind him.

Gavin's teammates waved and said hello.

Gavin nodded. "Now introduce yourselves all nice like. We might be able to get there help on this op."

Vin stepped forward. "I'm Vin Callen Armhed, my friends call me Val Allen."

Hamberg sighed and looked at Gavin. "Griss I don't think this is a good idea."

Gavin nodded. "It'll be okay Krauthammer."

Hamberg sighed again and nodded. "My name's Hamberg van Krautsing, and you just heard what they call me."

The red headed hottie stepped forward. "I'm Freyha Yasmeine, freshy to them."

Finally the armored girl stepped forward. "Vypra Derkia."

Robin shrugged. "What the hell." He pointed toward Starfire who was closest to him. "This is Starfire."

Starfire waved and smiled. "Hello new peeps I have not seen before today."

Beast boy threw up two thumbs. "I'm beast boy the coolest kid in the whole city."

Cyborg cautiously looked at the opposite team. "Cyborg."

Raven, hooded and looking anti social, said in a monotone. "Raven."

Gavin clapped his hands together. "Excellent. Now we have a proposition for you all."

Robin looked at him unsure. "What?"

Gavin looked toward the warehouse they were standing beside then at his watch. "There are people in there that are causing some trouble for this city we're here to deal with them. Would you like to help out?"

Robin gathered his team around in a huddle. "What do you think guys should we trust them? Should we help them out?"

Starfire nodded. "They said the people were badguys. Is that not who we wipe the floor with everyday?"

Beast boy nodded. "Star has a point. Sounds to me these bad guys need a good whopping."

Raven shook her head and threw a sidelong glance toward the other group. "I don't trust them. However we should at least see if there are illegal activities going on in the warehouse."

Cyborg nodded in agreement with Raven. "I agree with Rae, man, they don't feel right. There's something about them."

Robin nodded. "I agree. We'll help them out but watch your backs. I'm going to team you all up with one of them if any of them try something we'll go the plan B."

Beast boy looked at him confused. "Plan B?"

Robin nodded. "We kick their ass and drag them to jail along with whoever they're after."

Beast boy nodded. "Right, that sounds like a good plan."

The titans broke and approached the other group. Robin extended his hand to Gavin. "Alright we're in. If it's okay I'd like to suggest we all pair up. How should we decide the pairings?"

Gavin looked at his team and then the Titans. "Hmm…"

Hamberg smiled then walked up to Gavin and whispered in his ear and handed him something.

Gavin smiled and revealed what was in his hand. "We'll roll these die. The leaders will go first. Whoever gets within two numbers of the previous rollers will pair up with him. As you're the ones that tracked us down you can go first." Gavin handed the die to Robin.

Robin grabbed the die and shook it around in his hand. He threw it on the ground in front of him. When it stopped rolling it came up with a total of five.

Gavin picked up the dice and threw it in the same place. When his throw stopped rolling it came up with three.

The two teams did this until the pairs were, Robin and Gavin, Freyha and Starfire, Vin and Cyborg, Beast boy and Hamberg, and finally Vypra and Raven.

Gavin nodded. "Alright team you know your entry points. Take our allies with you and wait for mine and Robin's signal. Remember we're looking for eighty-nine."

The others nodded and moved out.

Gavin and Robin walked toward the warehouses and started looking at all the numbers on the sides trying to spot 89.

Vypra and Raven did the same in a different row. Suddenly as she was passing one of the warehouses they heard noises inside. It was weak but audible regardless. She walked up to it and saw on the side eighty-nine. She picked up her walkie talkie and called Gavin. "Dear, I found our warehouse. It's in the row beside the one you took."

Gavin and Robin came around the corner as the other pairs met up with them.

Gavin looked at Vypra. "That was quick. Great work."

She nodded and switched channels and called Vin. "Lead we found the warehouse I'm activating the tracker on my radio so that you can follow." She pressed a switch below the talk toggle and a light on the radio started flashing.

A few minutes later the other pairs met up with them.

Robin looked around for a way in. He pulled out his rappelling rope.

Gavin looked at him then up toward the roof. "Alright. I guess me and Robin will be taking the roof, assuming there's a way in through there."

Vin looked at his PDA, accessed the warehouse's floor plan, then at Cyborg. "He and I will take the direct way, through the door. The warehouse has an office with three windows over a broken fire escape. I know Freyha can fly but how would she and Starfire unlock the window?"

Beast boy looked at Hamberg. "Easy. I can change into animals, hence my name, hello. I'll fly hamberger up the fire escape then change into a rat or something and unlock the window."

Hamberg looked at him. "What a wonderfully daft idea. If the window's closed how do you get in to unlock it, genius?"

Beast boy thought for a moment. "I can turn into insects too."

Hamberg pulled out of his fanny sack a roll of masking tape and tossed it into the air. "I'll show you how to really break into a building." After he finished speaking he caught the roll of masking tape on his finger and twirled it around, returning it to his pack.

Robin looked at Freyha and Starfire. "Better back them up. It might be the only way for you two to get in."

Starfire nodded.

Freyha stood beside Hamberg and Starfire stood beside Beast boy."

Raven looked at Robin. "I'll just teleport us in once you give the signal."

Robin nodded and shot the rappelling line toward the top of the wall where it met the roof.

Out of Gavin's boots and gloves popped climbing spikes. He looked at Robin. "Slower but it builds the muscles."

Robin nodded seeing the logic in Gavin's statement.

As Gavin reached the roof Robin extended his hand.

Gavin declined it politely and pulled himself up. "I got it, thanks."

They started to look for a hatch or vent hole or any other way inside the warehouse.

Robin waved Gavin over as he found something.

He walked over and looked at Robin. "Good find. Looks like a fire escape hatch. Maybe it leads to a catwalk?"

Robin crouched down and slowly picked the lock and opened the door. He looked down and saw a metal catwalk underneath. "Bingo."

Gavin and Robin climbed down onto the catwalk silently and looked down toward the floor. Below they could see several crates and several men around a table, guns to their sides, playing poker as they waited for their bosses to finish the deal.

Robin looked at them then at Gavin. "They're armed? Who are they?"

Gavin looked at Robin. "Who do they look like bird brained, they're mobsters."

Robin cringed at the diss bird brained as that was what the Joker liked to call him. "Don't call me that again."

Gavin nodded. "Fine. But you sure are being dense."

Robin activated his radio; that to Gavin looked like something you'd get at a toy store for a kid. "Rae, I want you and Vypra to teleport onto a table where several men are playing poker, can you sense them. Do it as soon as I give the signal."

Raven's steady voice came over the comm. "Yes I can feel them. I understood."

Robin then contacted another member. "Beast boy are you Hamberg, Star, and Freyha in position?"

Beast boy replied. "We're ready to rock over here."

Robin then contacted the last member of his team. "Cy, you ready?"

Cyborg looked at Vin and then talked into his T radio. "We're ready down here and just itching to kick ass."

Robin looked at Gavin. "Ready?"

Gavin looked around and nodded. "Yeah I am, just let me get above the highest crate. I don't want to jump down and break my legs or ribs or any other part of my body.

Robin nodded.

Gavin moved to a place on the catwalk above the highest stacks of crates, estimated the distance, and activated his shock absorbing feature of his armor suit. He clicked his headset radio on. "Wait three seconds." He knelt down on the top crate and waited. "Alright, let's go."

Robin spoke into his radio. "Titans go!"

Simultaneously the pairs moved out. Vin and Cyborg kicked in the door. Hamberg punched the tape covered window. Gavin and Robin jumped off the catwalk and Raven and Vypra teleported onto the poker table.

Vypra looked around after the teleport. "Well hello boys. Today we'll be giving you a special treat."

Raven raised her hands. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

The men's guns rose and moved toward their heads and the charging bolts clacked backwards, arming bullets in the chambers.

Vypra crossed her arms under her chest. "I wouldn't move if I were you."

Raven agreed. "I have an itchy trigger finger."

The men raised their hands surrendering.

Gavin hopped down toward the ground by way of the crates, one after another. He heard the voices of the bosses who had stopped talking when they heard the odd noises. "We have visitors." They pulled out their pistols and looked around. Gavin growled into his voice changer.

The bosses looked around as they heard the sound of some big cat somewhere. "What the hell is there?"

Another boss hit him on the arm. "It's just your imagination Sid. Stop jumping at every sound."

Robin could see that the other boss was Rupert Thorn, an often seen mobster in Gotham. "What's he doing here?" he said under his breath.

This time Gavin tried something a lot more intimidating. He combined a jaguar, a bear, and a wolf and let out a growl.

That sent the younger boss out of his wits. "There's something big down here with us, and it doesn't sound human. I saw a movie like this once no one survived."

Thorn shook his head. "That won't happen here."

The other boss looked at him. "How the hell do you know that?"

Thorn looked at him sternly. "Intuition kid."

Suddenly the younger mob boss went flying toward the other side of the room.

Out of the shadows Robin crept. "Thorn, why are you here?"

Thorn looked at him. "Well, if it isn't that annoying punk that always trailed after Batman. I assume this is your area of protection then?"

Robin nodded. "Exactly. Now you can either come with us nice and easy or…." Suddenly he fell to the ground.
