ChApTeR 1

ThE fAb FiVe

Two days had passed since the stranger had arrived at Jump City, but the effect that this had caused in its citizens, if any, was insignificant. But that was about to change… today…

It was 9:00 am, and Robin, the leader of the Teen Titans, was already up, walking towards the living room. As he reached his destination, different sounds announced him that the other members of his team were there too.

"Good morning, Titans! We have a lot of stuff to do today. After breakfast we will train new tactics for about 8 hours, and then we will go help the old people from the asylum paint that hospital for orphan nurses, and then…"

Robin trailed off, noticing that no one was paying attention to him. And even if they had, the TV was so loud, they probably wouldn't have listened a thing. As Robin approached the TV set, he discovered Beast Boy was playing video games.

"Hey, BB! Can't you keep that thing down!"

But Beast Boy didn't seem to listen. He was just sitting there, punching furiously the controller, and with a maniac expression in his face. His eyes were really red, and it looked as thought they would pop out of their places.

"Hey, BB! Didn't yo-"

"LOOK AT THIS, ROBIN! I FINALLY REACHED THE 23RD LEVEL! AND IT ONLY TOOK ME THREE DAYS WITHOUT GETTING UP!"

"You… haven't got up in three days? Not even for eating, going to the bathroom, sleeping?"

"No, I haven't slept, but I've been living on soda and some old pizza that I found under the coach… and oh, yeah, I've been going to the bathroom in that paper bag that you're sitting on right no-DIE! DIE! DIE!"

"OK…" Said Robin, and then he backed off slowly.

"OUCH!"

Robin turned around quickly, trying to discover who he had hit, and he found Starfire, in the middle of a bunch of make up kits and mirrors.

"Star? What are you doing?"

"Oh, Robin! I knew we had much things to do today, so I woke up at 5:00 am to start my make up applying ritual. I have found out the earthlings give much care to the physical appearance, so I decided to join your ways of taking care of it!"

"But…" At this point, Robin did something that he rarely did, something that, if known by his enemies, would have been a good way to get him vulnerable: he blushed. "But I think you look pretty without make up…"

"Oh, Robin, thank you…" Said Starfire, and then she hugged Robin with such a strength, he felt he was going to explode, but he didn't really care.

"BUT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH!"

BUMP!

Using the same amount of strength, Starfire had let go Robin, who bumped his head hard against the coffee table.

"We must represent perfection! That is what people expect from us! We cannot go fighting crime if we ourselves commit the biggest one of crimes: ugliness and skin flaws!"

Slowly, and painfully, Robin got up. He didn't quite remember what was he supposed to be doing there, but then he noticed he was hungry, so he went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. But when he opened the fridge he found something odd…

"Nothing! There's absolutely nothing here! Not even that annoying blue fungus that tried to bite me last week!"

Was then that he noticed Cyborg sitting at the dinning table, eating what seemed to be the Titans' food for a month.

"Cy…"

"Mmmmhh?"

"Did you eat all of our food?"

No answer…

"Cy!"

"All right, all right! Yeah, I did, so what? You're NOT getting it back!"

"How can you eat that much without getting sick?"

"Well, as I'm part machine, I don't really need to eat, at all… I just do it cause it's fun!"

"Forget it… Hey, where's Raven?"

"In her room, I guess."

"But… she's not gone out in about three days! I better go check if something's wrong…"

As he was leaving, he noticed something else.

"Cy, are you eating the table?"

"Huh? Oh, you right man! Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. But then again, it didn't taste that bad…"

Robin soon reached Raven's door. When he knocked, as gently as he could, he was trembling. Even he was scared of the demon girl sometimes. Then the door opened, just enough to let Raven peer out.

"What?"

"I… I came to see if you were all right."

"Yes, I am."

Raven was about to close the door again, when Robin stopped her.

"Are you sure? I mean… you haven't got out of there in three days… are you sure you're feeling all right?"

"Feel? FEEL!" Suddenly Raven seemed really upset. "How dare you! You know I can't feel! I could destroy you if I felt something!"

"But we defeated Trigon… I thought that changed it… I thought you could feel now."

"Oh." Raven seemed to be thinking for a moment. "You're right…"

"Rae, are you having your period or something?"

"NOW WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT!"

"Then, what is it? C'mon, Rae, you can tell me what's bothering you. We have a special bond, remember?"

"Oh… I see where this is going… you're playing the bond card… You want to have sex with me!"

"WHAT! I never-no!"

But before he could continue, Raven pointed at him and started some mad gibberish:

"You grim, you horny boy of yore! Leave me now, I must implore

Be that our word of parting, or on your ass I'm getting gore!

Get back to the Tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!

Leave no spiky hair as token of the things your soul has spoken,

Leave my loneliness unbroken-Get your form from my room's door!

For you shall get lucky NEVERMORE!"

And after that, she shut the door.

"Now what the hell is wrong with her?"

Before Robin had time to answer his own question, an alarm started to go off, followed by a blinking red light. Robin quickly ran to the living room, where everything was just as it had been minutes ago.

"Get outta here, BB!" Robin said, turning off the changeling's game.

"DUDE! What have you done! I'm gonna kill yo-"

SMACK!

Robin's left hook to the chin finally made BB shut up. Then the bird-like named leader checked the alarm message in the screen.

"Looks like there's a missing kid… WHOAH! There are hundreds of missing kids! These messages have been coming since yesterday! Why didn't anybody say anything!"

"Bffuse I vvs bfaing!" Said BB, who apparently had bitten his tongue.

"What?"

"He sa' he wuz p'aying!" Said Cyborg, with his mouth full of table.

"Bu' rrbin, who cood 'av dunn zis?" Starfire was now accidentaly eating her lipstick.

"Well, isn't it obvious, Star?" Said Robin, somewhat proud of being the only one in the room who still spoke properly. "There's only one mind evil enough to be taking all those children away… yes, I can see right through his evil intentions… he plans to evilly use those kids to feed his evil army of evil mutant zombie badgers, so evil! But he's not gonna make it… not if I can do anything about it… Did you hear me? I'm not letting you win! Not this time! NOT THIS TIME, SLADE!"

As he finished his rant, Robin noticed everyone was looking at him. Even Raven had exited her room, and was now peeking suspiciously into the living room.

"Dude, you must chill!" Was all she said, and nothing more.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Even as the Teen Titans did a fine job protecting the city, there were many things they didn't know. For example, they didn't know who was really behind the kidnapping spree. And they didn't know that the responsible was in fact watching them, from his own tower, which was on top of an old factory. And of course, they had no idea of what this guy was thinking, as he watched them.

"Oh, my…" He said. "It looks as thought they finally found out of what we've been up to… I bet they're dying to find out who's after this, don't you think, Socrates?"

The little white mouse on the man's right shoulder made no sign of having understood what the man had just said. But it was watching the Titans as well, apparently with great interest.

"I think… I might rush things over… I'm dying to meet them as well."
