OH MY GOD I FORGOT THE DISCLAIMER!!!! I don't own anything in this story...not even the G-men, because the G-men are the invention of the United States of America (government). I have no money with which to pay for a lawsuit so don't bother.
Chapter 2
"Why must I come with you? What have I done wrong?" Starfire was quite confused now. "You came here without documents!" the thinner policeman shouted harshly. Upon seeing Starfire still confused he continued: "That in itself is the crime! Now we're sending you back home!" He started dragging her out the door with strength that, though still human, was rather surprising for his wiry appearance.
"But this is my home!" she protested.
"Not legally," retorted the larger man, "not yet, anyway. Perhaps someday this can be your home…"
The two men together struggled to drag Starfire into their waiting car. She struggled against the handcuffs, which were soon in imminent danger of breaking. Robin saw what was about to happen. "No, Star, no!" he shouted frantically, "Just go! We'll find a way to get you back!" He was too late as the handcuffs cracked and the chain split. As the two police put her in the car the chubbier one commented to his partner: "You know, actually that Robin kid is pretty clever." "Why do you think that?" inquired the thinner man. "He knew that if she broke the handcuffs it would have been resisting arrest," the large man explained. "I see what you mean," the thinner man said. Suddenly the policemen realized that they had heard the cuffs break. "We'll have to add a charge to her trial," commented the larger man.
Meanwhile, at Titans Tower…
The four remaining Titans debated their next course of action. "The four of us were all born here, right?" inquired Robin, just to make sure.
"Actually I was born on Azarath," stated Raven flatly, although she could guess the potential implications.
"In that case, it's probably not safe for you either. We need to find somewhere for you to hide until this thing blows over," he said.
Suddenly the alarm sounded. The Titans all wondered what to do. Robin was obviously torn on the question of whether to risk bringing Raven out on the mission. Raven read his thoughts and broke the impasse. "They can't be that fast," she said aloud. "The INS is a bureaucracy. Even if they see me, it'll take them a few days to get the arrest warrant."
"Titans, go!" ordered Robin, slightly more confidently. The Titans piled into the T-car and Cyborg drove them to the jail. When they arrived at the jail it was only Plasmus escaping. Plasmus noticed the four Titans behind him and let loose with a barrage of purple sludge. The Titans scattered out of its path. Plasmus spit acid at Raven, but her shield blocked the acid.
Beast Boy transformed into a green T-rex and lashed around, striking Plasmus through the center with his tail. Plasmus grabbed the tail with both "hands" and left Beast Boy stuck in a pool of sludge at his feet. Plasmus then threw one arm at Cyborg and the other at Robin. Although Robin cartwheeled aside, Cyborg was a bigger target and was knocked down and pinned under a sludge crab. A surge of dark energy struck Plasmus's center, knocking out pieces of sludge; Plasmus responded with a stream of acid spit, but Raven continued to press her attack, accidentally knocking Plasmus's mass backwards and also knocking his mouth open, resulting in a far wider and less concentrated spread of acid than Plasmus had intended. Raven was caught off guard and was unable to generate enough energy to shield herself; fortunately, most of Plasmus's attack missed her. What little acid did fall on Raven was only barely enough to dissolve her cloak and leotard.
Plasmus, who had not intended to achieve that effect, broke out in laughter. Robin had been preparing to throw an electric disk; but along with the other boys, he was momentarily distracted by the sheer beauty that was Raven without her clothes. Raven blushed uncontrollably and immediately cast a dark-energy shield around herself, but even the shield was, unfortunately, transparent. Plasmus took advantage of the Titans' distraction and lobbed sludge crabs. Raven sank into the ground using her powers, still red in the face, while Robin was pinned by a sludge crab.
The electric disk that Robin had forgotten to throw exploded in his hand, inflicting great pain on his arm but coincidentally destroying the sludge crab. Robin put his fantasies about Raven out of his mind and refocused on the battle, throwing three electric disks with the same sweep of his other hand—two towards the sludge crabs pinning Cyborg and Beast Boy and one at Plasmus.
"Let's use the Sonic Boom!" Robin called to Cyborg.
"I've got the sonic if you got the boom," Cyborg replied, as always.
The two Titans ran at Plasmus together, Robin throwing an explosive disk and Cyborg firing at the disk with his sonic cannon. The resulting explosion vaporized most of Plasmus's mass, leaving behind only a shrunken, man-sized pile of sludge. Plasmus tried spitting a final acid attack at Beast Boy, who was still distracted. Robin leaped up and pushed Beast Boy out of the way while Cyborg fired his sonic cannon again, knocking Plasmus out. Plasmus turned into an unconscious human.
Robin, since it was his duty as the leader, reminded the Titans of their next step. "Let's get Plasmus back into his stasis cell!" he commanded.
