"Or maybe this was Slade's plan all the long." Starfire added putting her hands to her chest in a worried manner.
"And how right you are my dear…how right you are."
Starfire whirled around at the sound of the voice, as did the other titans. And there he stood, Slade, his black body suit blending into the darkness around him, his mask was gleaming in the light of moon which was shining in through the far window, his eye filled with the same smugness that taunted Robin almost nearly everyday.
"What do you want?" Cyborg snarled. Slade slowly made his way towards the titans, taking his time; it was like he was savoring every step he took. He stopped about ten ft away, just close enough to them to set them on edge. Cyborg's canon started to glow, Beastboy stood posed to transform, Raven spread out her arms and legs her fingers tingling his magic and Starfire hovered 6 ft in the air starbolts ready.
"Are you all really that naïve, I'm getting my revenge." Slade said softly, his gaze flew to Starfire, she stared back determined until dread started to take her over and she looked away, Slade's eye lit up, he was probably smirking underneath his mask.
"Well go back to your hovel because you can't beat us." Raven growled her eyes alight with energy.
"How confident…how confident." Slade said shaking his head as though he was talking to people who could never understand, or begin to comprehend what was running through his mind, because no one possibly could.
"Slade you shall not get away with your horrid crimes!" Starfire shouted, the hatred running through her veins at that moment she didn't even know she possessed. Slade's eyes turned to her again and studied her very much like Robin did.
"My dear…" Slade paused as Starfire's eyes narrowed. "You're the reason I'm doing this, I don't loose anything and definitely don't forgive anyone who causes me to do so."
Starfire couldn't stop the fear that came into her features, and it only caused Slade to chuckle he waved a hand to something unseen and the lights of the warehouse were turned on and the titans all shrank back towards each other surrounded.
There were Slade-bots in every inch of the room, expect for in four places. In the first stood a tall rock form, its eyes almost glowing, every slight movement made by it echoed in the friction of heavy stone. The second was a tall mass of electricity; it formed a body that pulsed, in its center a red and black chip which looked almost like an eye glared at the titans. The third was a tall mass of what looked like purple goop; two beady eyes looked out at the titans, some goo would drop from its body into the floor below and stick, quiet gurgling sounds coming from its line of a mouth. And the last was standing on a pile of crates, Red X, his hands on his hips impressively looking down on everything, his two extendable Xs sitting on his hand as they rested there.
(Three guesses who these guys are?)
"How did these freaks get out?" Raven said her voice emotionless but her eyes wide. Red X gave a barking laugh that echoed around the room bouncing off the walls.
"Aw, and I thought the Goth was the smart one! The police are sooo easy to bribe, threaten, blackmail or even…replace."
"I see you've taken that assassins place then." Beastboy snarled. "Was it Robin? Shame, maybe he saw sense."
"No, no, no titans!" Slade sneered. "He simply…lusted too much with your teammate, and looking at her, I can't say I blame him."
Starfire's eyes widened further, it seemed as though they'd fall out of her head if she wasn't careful. Beastboy and Cyborg followed Slade's to Starfire and sent her questioning looks while Raven stepped in front of her protective of her best friend.
"You'll leave her alone Slade." Raven growled.
"We'll see." He sneered as he waved a hand and his troops, started to advance.

Robin rode on his new bike, swerving in and out of cars and Lorries as he sped his way towards Jump, he looked down on his screen navigator, computer, tracker etc and saw that there was speed police ahead of him. He smirked not totally lost of his criminal nature, he sped up as he past them and soon enough he heard sirens, he swerved around a car for a moment seeing a shocked family, the youngest in the car, a small boy's voice carried out behind him.
"Wow! Mum! Dad! Did you see that guy! On the bike! That was SO cool!"
Robin's smirk grew into a smile as she made a spectacular move of riding up the back of a car, passing over the roof and back down to pull his bike into a jump and land about 6ft in front of the car. The police still trying to catch up.
Good luck!
TT
Cyborg shot his canon at the mass of stone in front of him, it hit its target but all it got was a grunt and a backhand into a load of Slade-bots. He climbed to his feet to see the rock running at him, sending him in the air with a nasty uppercut Cyborg landed with a thud on the ground, he groaned nursing his dented chin. But he saw it again making its way slowly towards him confidently.
"Aw man." He muttered as the rock picked him up by his ankle and then dropped him only for him to meet its foot, Cyborg crashed into the wall cracking the plaster. He slowly felt his vision fade, and then all he could see was black and the words.
EMERGENCY SHUT DOWN NEEDED
TT
Robin had lost the police quite easily, he turned his sights to the buildings which he could see in the distance, and he revved the bike and pulled a wheelie before leaning forward to continue his rush towards the city.
He was about the dodge two Lorries when a ringing sound interrupted his maneuver. He pressed the button on his helmet for his phone which was still connected to his ear by wire connection. And then a voice he really didn't need rang into his ears.
"BIRD-BOY!" It roared. Joker. "Why the HELL is Gordon still alive and why the heck are you almost in Jump City."
"That's none of your concern, and how the in the hell do you know I'm nearly in Jump, are you having me tracked!"
"No, you're not worth that Birdie, the reason I know where you are is because I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU!"
Robin turned around to see Joker's head sticking out of a lime green car a few yards behind him; he waved a machine gun while a few lackeys sat in the back, one driving.
Oh crap
TT
Raven screamed as an electric shock ran through her body, setting the hairs on the back of her neck crazy with energy. She faintly heard Beastboy in the distance having trouble with the goop thing. She threw out her hand in an attempt to stop the energy attacking her body, she threw a random crate at it and its vicious attack slowly died, she floated up now angry. Her eyes glowed as did her hands and her cloak flew about her frame.
"Azarath…Metrion…Xinthos!" She yelled, Slade-bots from below were lifted in black energy and thrown at the monster, but it merely sent bolts of energy at them frying their circuits and causing Raven to drop them, she slowly grew tired of their game and drew out a water pipe from the wall, she grinned quite an evil smile as water was sent at the monster slowly shrinking it, it cried for help in it's own way and ten bots started to jump at her at once, they clawed at her dragging her to the ground.
She fought them off one by one but they kept being replaced, slowly she was buried, her hands pinned behind her back, another bot in front holding its metallic hands on her mouth, and another came up and drew back its fists. Raven's eyes widened emotion flying into them, but them all faded to black in a flash of pain.
TT
Robin drove like crazy, dodging cars and bullets at the same time, cars were swerving once hit in the tires by the Joker and getting in Robin's way, it was caused to jump many of them, luckily the metal that covered the bike was protecting the wheels, his cloak was made of some hard material and was reflecting bullets like crazy, as did his helmet. He was blessing the Batman and his genius, but he didn't know how much the bike…or he could take.
He started pressing buttons on his computer, trying to see if anything would help him in his situation, he pressed a button and a series of links came up. And then he stopped one he went to press one, a bullet grazed his arm, he grunted his eyes narrowing, he fished into his belt and pulled out two devices, they were red, they had two sharp wing like things sticking out, and a handle, working on his instincts he threw it, he span and hit the Joker's gun, it split it in two, carried on spinning until he caught it again, a grinned, these would definitely be fun.
He turned to his computer once more knowing Joker would have a spare gun…come on he was the Joker! He pushed his desired button and the Bike started to change. Two wings shot out the sides, they had two holes which started to a golden color, and slowly started to lift him into the air, he heard the shouts of the Joker below as he laughed to himself, as he played with his new toy, thanks to the 'flight' button.
TT
Beastboy ran towards Raven, she'd disappeared into a huddle of Slade-bots and didn't emerge, just like Cyborg did, he was starting to get worried, he'd seen Starfire fighting form the air, Red X had disappeared along with the giant moving rock and the mass of electrical energy, he wasn't so dumb that he didn't know something was up.
At that moment a shot of purple goop hit him and caused him to trip, he morphed into a hawk, but was stuck, then a ram, then a gorilla. Then finally he got out in the form of a great T-Rex. He ripped the goop around him and turned to face the great hulking purple mass of goo in front of him. He grinned as his boyish personality crept up on him as he morphed back into himself.
"Are you what happens when a load of Teens pop their spots at the same time?" He shouted at the monster, he then erupted into laughter, but it was his down fall, the fist of the monster crashed down upon him covering him completely in the goo, he couldn't breath as the purple monster sucked him into him self, he tried to collect enough energy to morph but it didn't work, his image started to fade with the oxygen and with one last breath he closed his eyes.
TT
Starfire destroyed another group of robots, she smile triumphantly, obviously not noticing her friends missing, along with the four monsters, only the Slade-bots, Slade and somewhere Red X remained. Slade was watching the battle from a perch near the roof, a smirk on his face behind the mask as he saw each titan fall to his army, only one left. And she was Red X's to take care until later where he'd have a private meeting with the girl.
He turned away from her and leapt down to the ground landing without a sound, he waved a hand knowing X would see it and disappeared into the darkness. From his own perch Red X grinned at Slade signal, he leapt down behind the battling alien, as she destroyed every Slade-bot within range of her dangerous star bolts. He admired her for a moment; her most dangerous weapon was herself, just like himself, and regrettably Robin.
"I don't think your friends are as good of fighters of you cutie." He called trying to get her attention; she turned, her hair flying behind her, her eyes still glowing.
"I do not appreciate you insulting my friends! And do not call me this cutie, my name is Starfire."
"But Cutie..." He drawled dragging cutie out to aggravate her. "Your friends are gone." Starfire looked around in confusion, all that remained were Red X, herself and the ruins of Slade's robot army.
"What have you done to my friends?" Starfire said, worry and fear ebbing into her voice and features. Red X smirked as her worry caused her to sink to the floor, even though her eyes were normal once more her hands were clenched in ready to fight. Red X walked towards her, her eyes narrowed as he approached.
"You know, I always wanted what Robin had no matter what it was." He said quietly, behind his mask something in his eyes gleamed, you might say it was lust…or maybe madness. Starfire backed away as Red X didn't stop walking towards her. He then stopped and so did Starfire.
"But now…I have the ultimate thing to make Robin green with envy."
"I do not believe I-" Starfire was cut off as she looked down to see a glass X on her arm, it's redness started to drain from it, things started to grow hazy, she stumbled, holding her head trying steady herself, but she couldn't. She wanted to be at the tower in her bed, she finally fell, but arms caught her. She looked up towards the ceiling, a dream taking her away. She saw a mask in front of her.
"Robin?" She closed her eyes softly, her breathing steady, Red X picked her up bridal style smirking. As he started to walk, he started running his hand up her side to her face to caress her cheek, not feeling affection, only lust. Then he whispered something in her ear that went unnoticed by the sleeping beauty. He dropped Slade's message in the ground on his way out.
"Not quite."
TT
Robin landed his bike into the warehouse, he'd went on a feeling and went to the warehouse where he met Slade those weeks ago…Only to find it empty, he saw the ruin of what looked like a battle. He looked down to see a small screen. He picked it up and Slade's face appeared.
"I knew you'd come back Robin, like I said, you'd have to."
TT
I'm so evil! Sorry! Again!
