Thanks for the great reviews! Sorry I didn't get this chapter out sooner, but I've had some problems with free time.

Disclaimer: I wish I owned TT. But I don't. Aren't you happy.

Chapter One

The Broadcast
The morning sun shone brightly through the windows of the 'T' tower as three of the protectors of Jump City gathered in the kitchen to eat.

"Breakfast is served!"

Robin turned in his seat from the newspaper to come face-to-face with a large plate of freshly made waffles. Blinking, he sat the newspaper down, "Uh, Cyborg?" He looked slightly amused at the ridiculously large plate of food. "You sure you made enough?"

A loud voice could be heard from behind the pile . "No way dude! I got another batch almost finished cookin'! Ya think I was gonna let you guys starve?"

Robin chuckled at his friend's joke until Cyborg sat another equally large plate of waffles on the table. His eyes widened in surprise. "Ok Cyborg, seriously isn't this a little much?"

The half-man hid his enjoyment with a mock offended glare. "What? You don't think we can eat it all?"

"I know I can't."

"Well it isn't all just for you now is it? Now quit griping and start eatin'! "

"Ok..."He paused for a moment. "But there'd better not be much left over."

Starfire smiled happily as she watched her masked friend grab a few off the top of 'Waffle Mountain' as Cyborg had called it, "Thank you friend Cyborg for preparing the first meal of the day. May I have some too?"

"Sure thing Star! Have as much as you want!"

Cyborg grinned at the orange skinned warior, who had just pulled the first entire plate in front of her and began squirting mustard on top. "Yo Robin. Still think I made too much?"

The boy wonder couldn't help but let out a small laugh. "Guess not."

After coating the pile in the Tameranian's favorite topping, Starfire stabbed the top waffle with a fork and began to devour the mighty pyramid. "Where are friend BeastBoy and friend Raven?" She asked between bites.

"Raven's meditating up on the rooftop. I saw her a little earlier right after I woke up. She said she already ate." Robin raised an eyebrow. "Why are you eating so much?"

A small blush appeared on Starfire's cheeks. "And what of friend BeastBoy?" She asked, quickly averting her eyes and changing the subject.

"Dunno. Probably asleep. How come you're so hungry today? You usually don't eat that mu-"

Robin's question was cut off when BeastBoy entered with a yawn. Unlike his normal chipper attitude, his back was hunched over and dark green lines were visible under his eyes. He shuffled his feet as he walked towards his friends.

Starfire cocked her head slightly to the right in concern as Robin addressed his weary appearance like any leader would, his earlier question momentarily forgotten. "BeastBoy, what happened to you?" The changeling glanced at the black-haired fighter, before turning and mumbling under his breath. Something about possessed lightbulbs and monsters under the bed. "What? I didn't catch all that."

"Nevermind. Hey Cy, you make any tofu for me?" BeastBoy headed straight for the fridge, knowing the answer his friend would give him.

"Yeah right! I wouldn't touch that junk with a ten foot pole." The half robot turned his attention to his best friend and put a hand on his shoulder. "But seriously, you look like crap."

BeastBoy laughed tiredly before grasping the handle and opening the refrigerator door. "Yeah, you're just jealous." His head then disappeared inside the fridge. "Hey! What happened to all the tofu?"

Cyborg whistled innocently and pushed the trashcan away with his foot.

After breakfast the four Titans entered the common room and turned on the TV to the news channel. The image on the screen was a middle-aged woman with brown hair standing in front of the Jump City Museum. The front of the building was completely demolished due to the giant tanker truck that was sticking out of the doors. Needless to say, the doors weren't quite big enough for the enormous vehicle before. But now they were.

"Whoa. That's some major damage. Could ya turn up the volume Star?" Starfire nodded and did as Cyborg asked.

"Witnesses say that the diesel was traveling down Main Street when a strange man stepped out into the road. His motives unknown."

The camera switched to a young blonde woman with a white sweatband on her head, "I was just doing my morning jog when I saw him. He was wearing a big black jacket with a large hood that covered his face, and his feet clanked when he walked. Then he stopped in the middle of the road. It almost looked like he disappeared.

BeastBoy groaned as the Boy Wonder became engrossed in the news broadcast. "Aw man, Dude! Not now! Me an Cy wanna do some Gamestation! Can't the news wait till-" Robin silenced his green friend with a 'shh' and a raised hand, meaning quiet.

"Hey I never said that!"

"Yeah you did!"

"Don't you be blamin' anything on me!"

"Knock it off!I'm trying to hear!"

"The only way I knew he was still there was the large mirror under his coat. It reflected the headlights when a breeze picked up. Well, at least I think it was a mirror."

The reporter again began speaking. "Witnesses also say that the strange 'hooded man' never moved from this spot, and completely flipped the LexCorp tractor-trailer, all with just a flick of his wrist."

An older man wearing a security guard's uniform was now being interviewed, "He just stood there and then, BAM! The big-rig is 50 feet in the air and crashes through the museum! I'm just glad I wasn't in lobby when it happened."

"Reports also indicate that after attacking the vehicle, the strange man entered the museum and pulled the driver to safety."

The driver of the demolished diesel, whose name was Bubba, was now on the air. "That guy's a nut-job! First, he tries ta kill me, then he rips the door off its hinges wit' his bare hands, and finally pulls me outta the wreck!He jus can't make up his mind!"

Robin narrowed his eyes as the reporter continued to ramble on. From the reports, nothing was stolen from the museum. The tanker the man was delivering apparently wasn't the target either. If it were, it'd would've been taken or destroyed. The gears in the young hero's mind turned as he tried to commit all the info he heard into memory. Many questions were forming that he was determined to find the answer. "I wonder what that guy was after..."

While the four heroes watched the news with interest (minus BeastBoy, who was bored since there was nothing else to do), Raven entered the living room with a book in one hand, and a cup of steaming herbal tea in the other. The voice on the TV caused her to pause her reading and look up. Suddenly, a horrible chill went down her spine as she looked at the wreckage causing her to spill a bit of the tea onto the floor.

"Several of the witnesses said that the hooded man was holding some sort of large weapon, though police have not been able to confirm this due to the large differences in the descriptions. What they have confirmed was that the man is between 5'1" and 5'3" and between 110 and 160 pounds. His outfit again was a large black coat with a hood and he was last seen heading West on Main Street. If you or someone you know sees someone matching this description, please call the Jump City Police department Tips hotline at-"

The sound of the alarm muffled the television and snapped the young girl back into reality. What had caused that feeling of utter dread, Raven didn't know. She watched as Robin switched the view of the big-screen to a computer layout of the city. After typing a few commands, the dark-haired boy read the words that danced across the screen. "It's a robbery at the 1st Jump City Bank! Titans GO!"
