Chapter Five: "Crimes in the name of Robin"
"Robin." Starfire said.
"Yes Star?" Robin answered.
"No, that is what it says, does it not?" Starfire asked him.
"Um, why does the screen have Robin's name in red dots on the map of the city?" Beast Boy asked.
"Apparently, someone is trying to get his attention." Raven said in her monotone. "Or scare him . . . anyway." She added.
"Dude . . . this isn't funny." Beast Boy said out loud.
"Tell me about it." After a moment of taking it in, all the dots started disappearing. "Now what is going on?" Cyborg shouted, apparently getting frustrated.
"I don't know, but let's go check it out." Robin demanded. He was out the door before all of them.
They all hopped into the T-Car and hovered over the ocean to the beach. From there Cyborg turned his car back into . . . well his car. They drove from the beach to one of the crime scenes. They all poured out and looked around. Nothing seemed to be wrong. No broken windows, no one was screaming and running out. It looked like a regular old book store. They walked in and found the place surprisingly calm.
Robin walked up to the checker. "Excuse me miss, we got a call about a crime?"
"Oh yes! Well, there was a crime." She said, with a nerves giggle.
"Was?" Raven repeated.
"Yes, someone, or something came out of the shadows and grabbed a couple books. So I pressed the alarm button. When I walked over to see if I could find the thief I was surprised to see that the two books had been left on the floor. They didn't take them, they just made it seem like they did."
"That's strange." Cyborg announced.
"Did you see this person?" Raven asked the lady.
"Not really, all I saw was that his skin was paler than hers." She gestured towards Raven.
"Paler then Raven?" Beast Boy asked, getting ready to laugh, but Raven glared at him.
The girl nodded.
"Well thank you, you've been helpful." Robin said and walked outside with his team behind him.
The Titans investigated a few more places before they realized that they were getting the same information, well almost. Some said it was a beast, others said it was a girl. At some point Robin kept looking towards the shadowed areas of the stores, feeling as if someone was watching him, but it always turned out to be nothing.
Shortly, the titans were found by sitting in there usual spot at the Pizza Place.
"Got any idea of what we're looking for?" Cyborg asked his team mates.
"Not a clue." Beast Boy announced for everyone.
After about an hour of eating, a crowd of people started running and screaming from down the street.
"What is going on?" Starfire asked to no one in peculiar.
"Let's find out." Raven said and she levitated herself over to the source.
It turned out to be another attack from Cinderblock.
"How did he get out of prison?" Starfire asked Raven. Raven shrugged.
"I don't know how you got out Cinderblock! But you're going back!" Robin was in his attack position. "Titan's GO!" he shouted.
The Titans went into battle. Starfire shot her star bolts in an attempt to knock him down. She failed, but continued her attacks anyway. Raven in gulfed him in a black aura, trying to subdue the mass of concrete, but was torn away from him breaking her hold on him. Beast Boy turned into a T-Rex and growled and roared at him, but was slapped across the face and turned back into his human form while lying on the ground. Cyborg punched, kicked and gave him multiple blasts from his sonic cannon. Robin was throwing discs of all sorts trying to get him to fall back. They continued there fighting, and Robin went to grab his bo-staff and was shocked to find out that he didn't have it.
"Titans" he yelled out. "Where's my bo-staff!" he yelled out. Looking at Beast Boy most of the time. If anyone took it, it would be him.
"Dude stop looking at me! I don't have!" Beast Boy shouted, still fighting. Robin decided to drop it until Cinderblock was captured.
After about twenty minutes of fighting, Cinderblock fell and was once again defeated. Everyone was out of breath. Robin reached for his communicator to see if there were any other criminals who had escaped.
"Where's my communicator?" he yelled out, looking over the battle field.
"You lost your communicator?" Cyborg shouted out.
"Cyborg, where is it? Can you track it down?" Robin asked, getting more worried. Cyborg looked at his arm and tapped the screen a couple of times, then looked up.
"No, it's like it disappeared"
"Your bo-staff and now your communicator . . . what's going on dude?" Beast Boy asked him.
"Let's get home." Robin said darkly.
They all piled into the T-Car after Cinderblock was taken back to jail. No one spoke a word on the way home. As soon as Cyborg pulled in, Robin jumped out and went straight to his room. He opened his door and found that someone had been there. He was furious.
"Who did this?" he asked into his room. He ran to the main room of the tower and found all the titans there.
"Ok, who went through my room?" Robin shouted.
