Gavin stepped over him and toward the younger mob boss. Gavin reached behind his back and pulled out a pistol. He pointed it at the young frightened mobster and pulled the trigger twice.

He put it back and looked at Robin. "Rule one, kid; don't let me get into the shadows."

He clicked his radio. "Report in team?"

The others reported in that the Titans were all knocked out.

Gavin walked up to Thorn. "It looks like your move to Jump City is over. Welcome to the neighborhood."

Thorn pulled out a briefcase of money. "Here's the payment we agreed to. Don't ask for more or you'll end up like that kid you shot."

Gavin took the briefcase, opened it, and checked the money. "It's all here. You are a mob boss of your word, I'll give you that. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Feel free to contact us again if you need anything."

Thorn looked at Gavin. "Doubtful."

Gavin walked backwards until he got to the crates. He climbed back onto them and jumped onto the catwalk then onto the roof and disappeared."

Several hours later the Titans woke up feeling horrible.

Robin looked around and saw the body of the young mobster. He ran over to him to see if he was alright. He lowered his head when he knew the man was dead. He activated his radio again. "Guys are you okay?"

Beast boy came back. "Not really. Star's arm is broken and Cy's cyber eye's busted."

Cy's voice could be heard in the background cursing. "I knew we shouldn't have trusted those bas…"

Beast boy interrupted him. "It seems Raven's okay and I am too. We all have a headache the size of metropolis though."

Robin agreed.

Beast boy came over again. "What do we do now?"

Robin groaned. "We go home. We don't know where they went so we can't follow them. Don't worry we'll catch them."

Robin made his way out the door Cyborg and Vin used. He found the others outside around in a circle. Star was lying on the ground grabbing her arm and crying in pain.

Robin ran to her side and knelt down. "Stay still Starfire moving only makes it worse. We'll get help soon."

Robin switched his radio to the last place he hoped to call. He called them and reported an accident.

The paramedics arrived to see a group of four teens surrounding the fifth that was lying on the ground. They told them to move away quickly. They picked up Starfire and tried their best to keep her comfortable.

The Titans followed the ambulance, once permission was given, and arrived at the hospital.

They were admitted to the waiting room where they sat for the next hour.

The doctor came out of the operating room and walked up to the teens. "She'll be fine." He looked at Robin. "Can I speak to you for a moment?"

Robin followed him just outside of earshot.

The doctor looked at him. "You're Grayson right?"

Robin nodded. "Yeah. Why?"

The doctor looked at Robin. "You don't recognize your old Gotham doctor?"

Robin shook his head. "No."

The doctor nodded his head. "What about the Flying Grayson's, the trapeze performers?"

Robin nodded. "My family. What about them?"

The doctor shrugged. "I was their doctor for years, before the accident." He sighed. "The break is a major one. It will however take several weeks to heal so I suggest she not take part in anymore activities until it fully heals. What were you doing at the pier anyway?"

Robin nodded. "Meeting a few friends." Robin lied. "We were supposed go to the movies that night. Suddenly this gang came up and started a fight with us. They threw the first punch and we and our friends defended ourselves."

The doc hummed. "Well, let's not do that again shall we."

Robin nodded. "We won't."

The doctor left Robin with one last word. "If you have anything you want to tell me I'll keep in the up most confidence."

Robin nodded. "Understood. Can we see our friend now?"

The doctor nodded. "I think so. Just be quiet, she needs to rest."

The teens walked into their friend's room.

Beast boy walked up beside her. "Hey Star are you feeling better?"

Starfire nodded. "I am feeling good now that my friends are here."

Robin looked at her arm. "What happened? Why'd break your arm?"

Star looked away.

Beast boy sighed. "They so double crossed us. I saw a fist coming toward me and turned into a rat avoiding it. Star then sensed that someone was attack her from behind and swung toward Freyha. She grabbed Star's arm and broke it. She also threw something into Cy's eye. She and Hamberg ran away."

Robin nodded. "Gavin smacked me upside the head, and murdered a young mobster."

Raven scratched her nose. "Vypra threw down a cloud of itching powder around me. I couldn't use my powers since I was disoriented for a second."

Star looked at Robin. "Robin, Why would they me so unkind? I didn't hurt them. I wasn't mean. Could they not just run away?"

Robin looked at her and gently grabbed her hand. "I don't know Star but we'll find them again. When we do we'll deal with them. They won't get the drop on us again."

The hummer drove into the underground garage attached to the base that Gavin and the others lived in followed by the two motorcycles. They parked and all the occupants stepped out.

Gavin took off his helmet.

Freyha sighed and walked up to Gavin. "Did we have to betray them like that? I had to break that poor girl's arm. What was her name? Starfire, yeah that was it."

Gavin shrugged. "No we didn't, but it couldn't be helped. We can't let them stop us. We need this money."

Vypra rubbed her boyfriends shoulder with her left hand. "It'll be fine." She kissed him on the cheek. "You did good dear."

Freyha nodded. "No doubt, still I would have liked being friends with them."

Gavin looked at her. "I understand. But right now we can't afford to have them screw things up."

Hamberg looked toward the others. "It's late. I'm going to bed."

Freyha nodded. "I am too. Call me if we have an emergency, like a fire or intruder."

Vin agreed with his two friends. "I'm calling it a night also. Good job everyone."

The three of them walked away leaving Gavin and Vypra alone.

She looked at him. "Let's all get some sleep honey, alright?"

Gavin nodded. "Sure. I'll go in a bit."

She sighed. "Alright, just don't take too long."

He nodded.

After Vypra left Gavin thought a bit. After an hour of thinking and chewing over the events and their motivations he nodded, satisfied that they were doing a good thing.

He walked toward his room, took his armor off, and got into bed.

Within that same hour the Titans were heading home. Starfire had fallen asleep on Beast boy's lap. At first he was surprised but then he relaxed and let her stay there the rest of the trip to the Tower.

Raven was in the front passenger seat of the Cyborg's T car and was talking with him while he drove.

Robin was in front driving his bike.

They arrived at the Tower and headed toward their rooms.

Beast boy picked up Starfire gently and took her to her room, lay her in her bed, and put the covers over her.

He walked out toward his room and collapsed on his bed.

Cy walked to his room and sat at his desk.

Robin and Raven said good night and walked to their rooms.

Despite his best efforts Cyborg fell asleep on his desk. Suddenly a beeping noise filled the room. Cyborg woke up with a start. "Huh? Who's there? What's…" He looked down and saw the text on his computer monitor incoming transmission it read. He clicked on a button.

On the screen was the cowl covered face of Batman.

Cyborg looked at him and nodded a greeting. "May I help you?"

Batman looked at him. "Is Robin there? I need to speak to him."

Cyborg shook his head. "Is this about those vials? I think I know what they're doing to my buds."

Batman looked at him. "Poison Ivy's drug causes the infected person to die slowly by falling in love; the irony of all irony. Scarecrow's just feeds off of fear. However once mixed the two liquids bond to become a love potion, the first makes them fall in love with the one that they had few feelings for, then the second makes them fear losing each other, which is a normal aspect of love. The fear potion also feeds off the fear of commitment and self doubt. What makes it dangerous is that the infected person, or in this case, persons still dies slowly. I'm working on a way to reverse the effects. I'll send you the data if you wish to help."

Cyborg nodded. "Of course I do. I don't want them to die."

Batman nodded. "I'm transmitting now."

Cyborg saw the download bar fill up to 100 quite quickly. He turned back to the console to thank Batman but all he saw was a blank screen. He rolled his eye and turned off the computer screen. He immediately went to work on the new data that Batman gave him.
