Unaware of the evils that befell the campers in Brazil that night Jump city slept peacefully, the sky scrapers windows reflected the moonlight beautifully and out in the bay a single giant T stood out making the city look magnificent. In the giant T lived four teens, they protected the city from the evils of the world that kept coming back for more, so they sent it running with a bruise or two to boot.

The first titan was kind of the leader, his name was Cyborg that kind of said it all for him, he was half human and half robot thanks to an accident that occurred years before. The second was Raven, she was a gifted girl with powers to manipulate the astral plain and move things through it, but at a price of her emotions.

The third was Beastboy, he was a teen with a lot of jokes up his sleeves, very few of them funny, he stood out thanks to his green skin and hair, and of course his fangs and pointy ears, but he had the ability to morph into any animal, extinct of not. The last titan was an alien girl named Starfire, being new to earth she still had to learn many of its customs and didn't always understand things, but she had powers of flight, great strength and she could shoot starbolts from her hands.

These four went day by day standing for truth and justice, but as each of them woke up tomorrow morning, they didn't know they'd meet an assassin.

Robin sat perched on his motorcycle; he was waiting for a call as he rode. His sword was stowed away, as was his costume, he saw in a black pair of jeans, a red t-shirt with a black leather jacket over the top, sunglasses covered his eyes, shielding him from the world, hiding the window to his soul, his hair spiked up on his head as always. A red helmet on his head. He rode pretty fast as he neared the border of Brazil, as he waited for his employer to call. Finally his phone rang and he pressed a button on his phone, which was connected to him by an earpiece.

"Hello." He answered flatly.

"Hello Robin." The voice said, there was no tone to the voice, but Robin could sense the smugness there.

"Where's my pay?" Robin asked getting straight to the point.

"Already in the bank Robin…you were obviously successful then." The voice asked.

"What do you think Slade?" Robin shot angrily down the phone. "I'd hardly call for help."

"Of course you wouldn't…now Robin, I require your services once again." The voice said ignoring Robin's cheek. "Come to Jump City; meet me at Pier 41 tomorrow at midnight. Don't be late."

And with that Slade hung up. Robin silently fumed as he stuffed his phone into his jacket's pocket and revved up his bike. He hated Slade but the guy paid well…and it wasn't like Slade would let him turn down a job anyway.

At midnight on the dot, Robin pulled up on his bike outside Pier 41.

How original. Robin mused to himself. A warehouse at the docks.

Robin entered the warehouse to find a man waiting for him, the man looked old, he wore a white suit, had a mop of grey hair pulled back and a small smart beard.

"Welcome back Robin, if you could follow me, Slade is waiting for you."

Robin merely nodded in a bored manner and followed after the old man. They walked down a staircase, which then led into a lift; the lift went down under ground. While the lift went its slow journey downward Robin tapped his foot on the ground again, when the lift slowed down to a halt.

The double doors opened into a large hall, there were no windows, only giant gears winding and turning above his head. Slade loved his clichés as it were. Wintergreen walked over to a large, and not to mention uncomfortable throne like chair which was in the middle of the room, screens surrounded it from behind.

Only when Robin examined the throne like chair did he realize someone was sitting in it. The man wore a black body suit, with metal cuffs on the arms and legs along with steel plated boots. But on his head there was a mask, half was black, the other was a rusted orange, there was only one eye hole and two lines for the mouth, Robin of course knew him as Slade.

"Robin, it's good to see you again, I must say." Slade greeted, his voice was exactly to what it was like on the phone, untellable, but still with an air of smugness it always had been. Slade's one eye examined Robin from head to toe, even though he only had the one eye hole, it seemed as though nothing could go unnoticed by it.

"Yeah…" Robin replied, feeling uneasy. "Same here…I guess."

"I've asked you here for a reason of course." Slade carried on.

"I kind of guessed." Robin muttered. He some how doubted Slade asked him to Jump for a social call, or heaven forbid, a thank you.

"Yes I have a few assignments for you; the first is a freak show by the name of Mumbo Jumbo." Slade paused, Robin raised an eyebrow, villains in this city now went by stupid names like that? "He's an embarrassment you can be sure. But he owes me a heavy debt, and it's been six months since it was paid." At this Slade's eye narrowed. "I need you to take care of him; I don't care how or when, just get it done, and then return here."

Robin nodded as Wintergreen handed him a photo, the man was definitely a freak. He wore a magicians get-up, had white hair, and strangely blue skin. But Robin doubted he'd be much trouble.

"He'll be dead by tomorrow afternoon." Robin stated definitely. He then turned as he neared the lift he smirked. "I'll let myself out."

As Starfire rolled over that morning to gaze out at the skyline she never slept with her curtains closed, in the evening she enjoyed to watch the stars and in the daytime she loved the view Jump city gave her, every time she looked something was different, even if it was a bird who had moved a few meters since her last glance, or a car that had driven along the coastline had turned away and disappeared. It was definitely the small things she enjoyed about earth.

She climbed out of bed and got ready for the day, she tugged a comb through her hair and donned her costume, quickly checking her reflection but not really caring much for it anyway she left her bedroom barely ten minutes after leaving her room.

She entered the main room to see Raven floating four ft in the air, Cyborg cooking bacon in the kitchen and Beastboy channel surfing with an empty plate in front of him, Starfire was relieved to see they weren't arguing about their dieting choices this morning.

"Good morning friends!" Starfire exclaimed grinning. "Is it not a glorious morning today?"

Cyborg waved a hand of recognition from the stove, Beastboy's eyes didn't leave the TV screen and Raven as always didn't say anything…just floated in midair repeating her mantra over and over. Starfire's grin faltered slightly as her friends gave their almost non existent greetings. Starfire sigh inwardly and floated over to the fridge, she pulled out an apple and fell on to the sofa to join Beastboy in his channel flipping.

Just as Beastboy turned the channel on the Saturday morning cartoons the alarm went off and Cyborg abandoned his cooking.

"Titans go!" He shouted jubilantly, Raven simply uncrossed her legs and floated through the door past him and Beastboy grumbled as he shut of the TV, Starfire gave Cyborg a winning smile which he returned and she quickly flew past him.

They arrived at Jump city bank to see Mumbo Jumbo coming out with two loaded bags floating beside him. A grin was plastered on to his blue face as he pointed his wand at the bags to keep them in his sight.

"Don't you ever get bored of doing this Mumbo?" Cyborg shouted as his arm changed into his famed sonic canon. Mumbo turned his gaze onto the titans, Raven and Starfire hovering above the boys, the T car parked in the distant.

"Well a good performer is always asked to repeat a performance my dear children." Mumbo sneered.

"Yeah but a good performer normally pulls off his performance, and you never have." Raven stated in monotone.

"We shall see children!" Mumbo shouted before turning his wand on Cyborg, sending a barrage of doves at him, Cyborg shot his sonic canon at him but the crazed birds dodged them easily and started to peck mercilessly at the metal on his body, chipping it and leaving nasty dents.

"Yo! Someone get these things off of me!" Cyborg shouted as he tried to bat the birds away to no avail.

Raven flew up to Mumbo. "You should learn some new tricks Mumbo, this is getting old." She then threw out her hand and her eyes started to glow. "Azarath Metrion Xinthos!" A bolt of black energy started to fly towards Mumbo to retrieve his wand to rid him of his powers, but before she could Mumbo waved his wand and four boards flew up around him, when the boards disappeared Mumbo was gone and Raven's magic hit the floor and ricocheted back towards her, Raven's eyes widened as she leapt out of the way cursing as she went.

Mumbo appeared behind her as she stood up brushing her cloak off, Mumbo raised his wand but before he could utter any words a hawk swooped down and stole the magicians hat, Mumbo spun around angered by the sudden move and instead pointed his wand at Beastboy and a fountain of water shot out and hit the bird in midair, as Beastboy fell and Mumbo caught his hat Starfire flew in pelting Starbolts as she came.

Mumbo was forced to jump around like an idiot as he dodged them all at once. When he regained his cool he pointed his wand at Starfire who was in the middle of turning around.

"Ah, ah, ah! I don't think so missy!" He said as she raised her fists again. "Mumbo jumbo!" He shouted, a case appeared and closed around her, Starfire tried to smash the case but to avail, it started to fall to the ground, it shattered at impact, and Starfire landed a few ft away slipping in and out of consciousness.

She saw Mumbo's feet approach her, she could almost feel his smugness radiating from him, and he raised his wand again but before he could do anything an explosion from the bank caused him to turn in alarm.

Smoke billowed out from the bank, and out came a man…or a teenager in Starfire's eyes, he wore a black body suit, but half was a rusted orange, on the black breast there was an R and on his hips there hung a silver belt with a sheath and small compartments, completing his costume on his face was a mask shielding his eyes, in his hand there was a sleek looking black samurai sword, he had a satisfied smirk, he had short spiked up hair that looked wind swept.

"I had to get your attention some how Mumbo." The teen sneered as he approached the shocked Mumbo. "I believe you have an over due debt."

"Yes…" Mumbo stammered. "Ju…just take that money over there that should be enough." Mumbo seemed terrified; he didn't notice Starfire stand shakily.

"Sorry Mumbo, Slade said times up, and now I have to take care of you…but I'll take the money anyway." He said with a satisfied smile.

"No…please no!" Mumbo cried. "I, I'll do anything."

"Sorry, I have orders." The teen replied flatly.

Mumbo then threw out his wand hand. Mumbo jum-ahhh!" Just as he was about to say his spell words a wire zipped from the teen's wrist and wrapped itself around the wand and pulled it out of Mumbo's grasp, Mumbo cried in terror as his skin started to fade and he became normal again.

"Who are you?" Starfire cried, a starbolts alight on her hands. The teen ignored her and ran at Mumbo, before he could even turn to try and run he was upon him.

TT

Robin felt the adrenaline run through him as he thrusted his sword through Mumbo's chest, breaking through the ribs and other organs. He pulled out his sword and shook off the blood as Mumbo fell to the ground, it seemed pretty obvious he wouldn't be robbing anymore banks.

He then became of the titan, and he stopped.

She was staring at him in terror…she had huge emerald eyes, but the whole of the eye was green, not just the iris, she had orange tinted skin that was practically glowing, she had curves in all the right places, he looked her up and down, from the armor above her breasts to the thigh high boots, and the miniskirt, he was mesmerized by her. And considering his standards when it came to women…that was pretty hard to do.

The other titans weren't around, that Goth went off after the green one and that robot thing had run off trying to get away from the birds that flocked him. And they…simply stood there, staring at each other.

TT

Starfire couldn't see his eyes but she knew they were studying her, she didn't know why he was; she didn't even know who he was. When she finally found her voice she repeated her first question.

"Who…who are you?" She asked in a quiet voice.

This seemed to snap the mysterious teen out of his staring fit because he tensed and tucked his sword in his sheath and smirked again.

"Name's Robin." He said smugly. He then reached into one of his compartments, and Starfire went into a fighting stance, starbolts lighting her hands giving her an unearthly glow.

Robin pulled out two small silver balls, Starfire eyes them warily, he then threw them at Starfire's feet and smoke enveloped her, she started to cough and splutter, and by the time she had gotten clear of it, Robin was gone.

Well I think this chapter deserves a review from you…don't you?
