I like to think I've improved with time actually, and I double check everything I write to look for grammar and typos so it's good to know I'm doing well :)

O.O Well its good to know a lot of my readers are protective of Starfire, you can we assured that the good guys will win. Lol yes the plot is heating up, hopefully I'll be able to touch the keys though lol if people think I'm shaking updates out of them and if its working…then that exactly what I'm doing :D I love the fact ur on the end of ur seats, but don't fall and hit your head on the desk, I know from experience, and it hurts like hell! Hooray for darkness! there's nothing wrong with Goths, or emos! I'm being admired for my evilness…excellent! And sorry if I sounded a lil pushy Peppermint sticks, I meant no harm honest, I'm glad u like my story and I hope your trip to New Jersey goes well :) And then I realize…who actually reads these big notes…sigh

IMPORTANT: I was going to drop Joker form the story, but because of how much people liked him I decided to keep him, please take into account in this story though, I don't watch Batman, so I'm not very sure of him, so I'm going to be treading lightly, but I've that two of his goons are called Punch and Judy…am I right? Please help me! I'm still not sure whether to include Harley in this…wanna give me some advice?

Remember to review; it motivates the author to update!

Slade stood silently in a vast hall, no one but Wintergreen, Red X and of course he knew where it was. Oh and the girl lying in the ground behind him. But for now she wasn't important, when she woke up however, then she'd become his concern. He watched five different screens. The first showing the robotic teen, Slade had sent Overload to him, hopefully the electricity charges would reboot him…so Slade could enjoy watching him torn to pieces again. The second held the Gothic teen, he was unconscious, and Cinderblock had been sent to wait until she woke up, he wanted to see some entertainment in the titans' demise after all.

The third had a green boy, he was beginning to stir, but merely a few meters away stood Plasmas. The fourth screen showed Robin, at this moment in time he was in the warehouse above them. He looked pretty impressive in his new uniform, Slade was slightly aggravated that he had taken a new image without him even finding out about it, he must've met someone while in Gotham. He then turned his attention to the fifth screen, it was filled with three people, two of them looked identical, both looking like they'd swapped brains for muscle, both wearing ridicules uniforms which made them look like deranged children. But the man leading them was one Slade definitely recognized.

It wasn't hard to recognize the Joker when he popped up at your back door requesting entrance, Red X was leading them to the chamber, Slade wondered why the prince of Gotham crime was in Jump City, requesting to meet him. They'd only known of each other, they'd never actually engaged in conversation. They'd have probably met in Arkham…if Slade had ever been captured. He heard a hollow knocking at his door and Red X entered followed by his guests.

The two villains studied each other, Joker taking in the black body suit and mask, while Slade took in the grinning teeth, the purple suit and the green hair. Slade remained silent and dignified, his hands placed behind his back, while the Joker rocked back and forth on his feet peeking around the room. Red X walked to stand behind Slade, obviously quite unnerved by the crime lord, while the goons stood there looking…well dumb.

The silence was then broken when a shrill laugh erupted from the Joker, he started to slap his knees in amusement and squinting as he laughed freely. Red X stepped back slightly. And the goons stood there, probably used to this by now.

"Oh my oh my!" Joker said between barks of laughter. Slade's eye narrowed at the criminal as he started to feel annoyed by this man's presence. "You…you…HA!" Joker carried on like this for a few more moments before Slade but in.

"May I ask what you want Joker? And what is no funny?" Slade inquired. The Joker started to calm himself until he regained self control and grinned at the masked man.

"I was laughing at you Sladey…taking the cliché's a little too seriously huh?" Slade glared at the clown, Joker met his glare evenly, only adding his sinister grin to the mix. "Anyway, I'm here to take care of some business."

"What business may I ask?"

"Well your little renegade of a apprentice came to me for work, but he met Batsy, and well they got talking, and then he skipped out on his task and came here, I told him strictly that I don't appreciate mistakes."

"Are you talking about this Batsy…as in the Batman?"

"Well yeah, how many people go around wearing bat ears really?" Joker said before laughing once more, Slade let him calm down before talking.

"Well as you can see I'm in the middle of punishing my apprentice so you'll have to wait in line." Slade said matter of factly. Joker's eyes narrowed slightly, his grin unmoving.

"Well how about I help you, you see Sladey…I don't take no for an answer."

"Well what do you plan to do?" Slade asked darkly, both villains seemed to size each other up.

"Don't worry, I'll surprise bird boy, you just wait." Joker then gestured to his goons and they disappeared into the shadows, a dark laugh from Joker echoing from the Joker as he left. Slade then turned his attention to his other target, the sleeping alien started to stir in her slumber, Slade waited patiently for her to open her eyes. She groaned as she sat up, still not noticing the eyes following her every move. Red X's eyes were gleaming from behind his mask.

She opened her eyes and as soon as she spotted the mask, her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, she scrambled backwards; she hit the wall and clawed at it as she stood shakily, her eyes never leaving her captors. She opened her mouth in confusion, like she was trying to form words but couldn't. Red X took a step forward and her eyes flickered to his fear growing still in her emerald orbs.

"You seemed confused my dear." Slade said smugly. Starfire shrank against the wall breathing hard. "Don't worry; I'm not going to harm you…yet."

Starfire visibly gulped. "Why…why me?"

"I already told you, you made me loose something, and I don't forgive or forget." Slade snarled taking a step towards her. He regained her posture and threw her hand forward, expecting a green orb to hurl itself at Slade. Starfire looked at her own hands in confusion.

"Where are my powers?" She inquired to no one. Slade merely chuckled.

"Notice the X on your chest, yes it injected you with a sleeping toxin, but it also suppresses your powers." Slade walked towards her again, this time real fear totally unconcealed took her. She felt her eyes well up in hopelessness. He touched her cheek but she slapped it away, he then grabbed her wrists and she winced in pain. She felt a tear run down her cheek as his eye bored into her own, she was afraid and weak. Red X closed in behind them, she felt his eyes look at her again and her fear only grew more.

"You can't fly, you can't fight, and your strength has disappeared…well the only way I can say is…your practically human."

Robin walked through the wreckage of robots and rumble; he made his made to the double doors that he knew would lead to a lift. He kicked the door down and proceeded down the dark passage way, his eyes trained for the dark he was at ease for now. He reached the elevator doors and pried them open, the lift was elsewhere, probably an obstacle from Slade, and an easy one at that.

He checked out his belt and found a red handle; pointing it up a long yellow rope flew out and a bird shaped object wrapped itself around a support on the roof. He jumped down the shaft and let the grappling hook do the rest, as he landed on the ground, he squeezed the handle and the rope flew back into it, he smiled to himself the Batman had definitely thought this all out.

He walked down the passage to the main hall, he expected to find Slade sitting in his chair, looking as smug as always, but it was empty, all that was in the room was the gears that slowly went around as normal, he spotted a door behind the huge chair which normally had Slade sitting in it. He made his way to the door and cautiously opened it, there was another passage which he followed, he was aware of another presence somewhere near by, he held his staff closely and carried on, until a starting to hear a soft clinking noise. Suddenly the floor below opened beneath his feet and sent him plummeting into darkness.

Cyborg slowly felt his circuits reboot, they started to glow blue once more as his robotics warmed up, and someone was recharging him. Was he at the tower again? He slowly felt energy pour into him, but the energy felt somehow…different, uncontrolled in a way. He finally opened his eyes to see a mass of energy in front of him; it was pouring its own electricity into him.

When it saw he was awake it stopped and he heard the electricity crackle but somehow form a voice. "Fight me." It said. Cyborg stood up, but as he did he heard the electricity crackle once more and he transformed his arm into his sonic cannon.

"Man who are you?" Cyborg asked, he felt pretty stupid asking a figure of electricity but it didn't matter.

"I am Overload." It said in answer. It then flew at Cyborg who rolled out of the way, energy reached out towards him from its body. Cyborg tried to shot it with his sonic canon but his energy passed straight through it. He ran from bolts of energy that were aimed at him, but he didn't see how he could beat energy. Soon enough he was growing tired and angry. He was hiding behind some huge blocks, Overload merely waited for him. As the moments passed all that was heard the quiet crackle of Overload.

Then they heard something, it was a distant cry. It was growing nearer and louder. As though something was heading straight at them. Finally there was a mighty crash and a trap door on the ceiling opened and through it was a blur of red and green. It crashed into some crates, and they heard a cry of pain. Cyborg ran over to them, hoping it was someone coming to help. He dragged the figure out of the rubbish and found…what looked to be Robin. But he was wearing a different costume of reds, green, yellows and black. Cyborg dropped him and Robin grunted.

"Thanks for that." He heard him grumble.

"Man now you're here to kill me? Can't it wait I'm in the in middle of something!" Cyborg snarled. Robin stood and brushed himself off. Overload crackled with laughter at the two, obviously pretty relaxed, biding it's time.

"Actually you idiot I'm here to help." Robin snarled back just as angry.

"Oh yeah, help me to what? Take myself apart?"

"Look do you want my help or not?" Robin shouted. Overload then grew bored of their bickering so he shot a beam of electricity at them; they both ran out the way in the same direction.

"I'll do it myself." Cyborg stated. Then with a cry of anger, he ran at Overload, Robin leaned against the wall, not wanting to watch as he heard a crash and Cyborg fly past him and crash into the wall near him. Robin smirked at the robotic teen as he regained his feet.

"Sure you don't want to hear my idea?" Robin asked. Cyborg glared at him as if thinking it over. He finally sighed.

"Fine." Cyborg huffed as he admitted defeat. Robin whispered something in his ear. Cyborg looked at him, looking pretty impressed, but then another beam of light separated them.

Robin started to run at the energy beast, Cyborg following his lead; they started to near each other, both taking a reassuring look at each other they jumped high in the air, Robin just in front. Robin threw a golden disc at the monster as it near him Robin fell, but cyborg was still in the air, he shot a wide beam of sonic energy at him, as it hit the disc ice erupted from it, it engulfed the beast, leaving it frozen solid.

Both boys started to celebrate their victory together, Cyborg throwing in a well deserved "boo yah." Robin grinned at his partner. Cyborg looked him over. "You know, you look like a pretty cool hero."

Robin appreciating the compliment grinned at him. "Thanks, you know, we'll reach Slade quicker…if we…well work together."

Cyborg stopped to a moment pondering the thought. He then grinned and hit Robin on the back. "Good idea dawg, I'll help you turn over a new leaf!"

Robin smiled as they walked towards a newly opened exit. "Good." Robin answered. "Because I need one."
