The Warden's Office
"I demand my son to be release today Wilson." Silas Stone said sternly.
"He was trespassing on unauthorized grounds." Slade Wilson replied.
"Victor would never-"
"How well do you really know your son?" Slade interrupted.
"I…I know him enough, to know he wouldn't do so such a thing." Silas said.
"This security camera shows otherwise." Slade said clicking a part the remote on his wrist. A television in his room showed Victor walking into the room.
"His accident was self inflicted, he brought this on himself." Slade said.
"I'd like to see this room of yours." Silas replied as Slade got off his chair and led him over near a door. The door had two more doors behind it. One said STORAGE ROOM and the other said CAUTION DO NOT ENTER: ALL TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED.
"What is in this room anyway?" Silas asked suspiciously.
"This is our room where we keep all the records." Slade said opening the door and sure enough it was filled with file cabinets.
"I…I don't know what to say Mr. Wilson, though I do wonder…how exactly did Victor end up in his condition?" Silas asked.
"...Several machines in there are a bit old and the pipes are rusty. Perhaps he was… fooling around with some of the pipes-"
"He does work out quite often and gets his hands on anything he can use… I'm terribly sorry Mr. Wilson, though I must advise you to keep a closer eye on your… residents." Silas said.
"Now if you excuse me I must have a talk with some of my students." Slade said walking out.
Raven Roth, Garfield Logan, Richard Grayson, Kory Anders, and Terra Markov sat in the warden's office.
"I doesn't make sense. I could've sworn it said OPEN and how'd a hi-tech room turn into some dumb old filing room?" Robin asked.
"This is all Slade's work. We're in his territory he controls everything and nearly everyone." Raven whispered back before the door opened.
"Terra Markov" Slade said as Terra got up nervously.
"The guards say you've started that food fight earlier. Is this true?" Slade asked as Terra looked down, not responding.
"Do not lie." He said.
"Yes" Terra said in almost a whisper.
"I'm very ashamed…I almost expected better of you." Slade said. Raven looked up at her.
'Must be pretty hard for her, he's like an idol to her, though imagine why.' Raven thought.
Slade place a finger under her chin lifting it up, forcing her to look him in the eye. As swift as a bullet, he threw a fist at her face, sending her back slamming into a wall. Gar almost jumped out of his seat if it wasn't for Robin and Raven holding him back.
"Richard Grayson" Slade called up his next victim.
"I take full responsibility for all of these people. It was my idea to go after Victor." Robin said boldly. Slade threw a punch at his face, but Robin ducked and sent a kick towards his stomach.
"Opps. Too slow, you're getting too old for this Slade." Robin said grinning wildly, his daring expression making Kory blush. Slade got up and sent a few more blows he couldn't stop. Robin did a back flip, as he was about to land he aimed akick towardsSlade's face. It would've been enough to knock him out if it actually hit him, but Slade managed to grab his foot and fling him against a wall.
"I hope this teaches you not to disregard the rules of this institute. Now get out." Slade said. He walked over to Terra and injected a clear liquid from a needle into her neck. She cringed then brought her legs up to her chest. Robin got up and sent a glare towards Slade while Gar and Raven helped Terra, who seemed to be in a daze.
Many Hours Later
Raven Roth yawned as she glanced at the wall clock.
"She doesn't have schizophrenia." Raven said as Kory walked over to the computer. They snuck into the library after half past eleven at night.
"What is it Friend Raven?" Kory asked.
"I analyzed the injection he gave her. It's not medication for her hallucinations. It's what's causing them. That needle was filled with LSD." Raven said.
"What is this 'LSD'?" Kory asked.
"It's a hallucinogen, basically pathetic drug users use it to get some delusional visions to escape reality, imbeciles." Raven said pushing her chair back and closing the computer. She walked out and bumped into something hard.
'Shit, should've known there'd be guards.' She mentally cursed herself for her carelessness until she saw who it was.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Raven whispered.
"I should be asking you the same question." Cyborg replied.
"Where is Friend Gar?" Kory asked.
"He's watching her sleep… I'm telling you that is one really sad and weird kid. So what brings you two lovely ladies up at this hour, midnight walk?" Robin asked.
"We were attempting to find the cause of Friend T-"
"Couldn't sleep" Raven said using her powers to close Kory's mouth from the inside so the boy's wouldn't see.
'She still hasn't learned you can't trust idiots like these any day.' Raven thought.
"You're lying." Cyborg said.
"No shit Sherlock." A voice said.
"Tara, you're supposed to be in bed by now." Raven said.
"Gee thanks mom. I found vegetable boy watching me. Besides did you really think you weren't gonna let me in on the fun?" Tara asked.
"Does she do that a lot?" Robin asked as Raven sighed and took a piece of paper nearby writing two names again.
"Split personality. Tara takes over during 6 P.M. to 5:59 A.M. and Terra takes over the rest of the time. It's like two people sharing the same body. Tara's everything Terra isn't. She's fearless and more of a street punk. Terra's more of a shy person and is really obedient, Slade knows this so he takes advantage of her cause he's an asshole, got it?" Raven asked.
"Sort of" Robin said scratching his head.
"Where it BB anyway?" Cyborg asked.
"Broom closet. Serves that little stalker…" Tara muttered as Cyborg stumbled a bit lifting one leg at a time as if he was marching slowly or his leg was asleep, making a large noise doing so.
"What're you doing?" Raven asked.
"Hey I'm still getting used to this mechanical stuff it ain't that easy you know. I had to try an hour to move my fingers right." Cyborg said finally gaining his composure and walking right.
"Just keep it down. You don't want to wake everyone up, especially the warden." Robin said as Cyborg walked over and opened a door. Gar had a black eye. He was also bound and gagged with rope. Cyborg, with his metallic fingers, trembling, somehow managed to untie him.
"Oww… That's some woman." Gar said.
"So what are you exactly doing awake at this hour?" Robin asked.
"You tell me and I'll do the same with you." Raven said as Robin considered his options.
'Like some kind of secret exchange…fair enough.' Robin thought
"You start." Raven said as Robin reluctantly answered.
"Silas gave Cyborg one hell of an annoying, though resourceful lecture. He said there was a trespassing sign and it was just a file cabinet as mentioned before. I brought him along to find out why. Now you're here…" Robin droned off leaving them to finish.
"As Gar-"
"Beast boy" Gar interrupted.
"Fine. As Garfield-"
"I told you not to call me that, it sound's so babyish." Gar said.
"Since you're acting like one it's only fair for me to call you that. As Gar knows Terra has what we thought to be schizophrenia. Turn's out Slade's 'medication' is the drug known as LSD." Raven said.
"Knew that bastard was crazy" Robin mumbled.
"You're the one who's obsessing over his next plot Boy Blunder." Raven said in a monotone as the rest of the group proceeded to walking towards the room adjacent to the storage room.
"That-But- I- That's impossible. I'm telling you I know what I saw." Cyborg said looking at the sign. Robin inspected the metallic plate saying CAUTION.
"Something just doesn't feel right. Tara give me your switchblade." Robin said.
"What for?" She asked.
"Give it to him." Raven replied as Tara reluctantly reached into her pocket. Robin took the switchblade, its stainless steel glimmering in the dark. He took the blade and scratched off some of the paint revealing several letters underneath it. He continued on other parts until it finally said OPEN.
"The bastard's good…really good." Tara said as the others nodded in agreement.
"However that still does not explain why the room of control looked like the room of filing." Kory said as she turned the knob. It looked like any other room full of cabinets and rusty pipes. Raven tapped her finger on her chin and looked around. There was a small light in the corner. She walked towards it, careful not to activate any alarms or booby traps.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" She whispered using her powers to bring the object down. She examined it then pressed a button. The room was no longer a filing room, it was surrounded by technology. Kory gasped.
"A holographic generator" Kory said.
"A graphic what?" Gar asked.
"Latest in underground technology. Used for disguise to sneak into buildings, that's what I've heard from Jason." Tara said referring to her ex-boyfriend.
"Do you hear everything from him?" Gar asked annoyed.
"I told you there's nothing between us. You can't blame me that I work for his dad." Tara said folding her arms over her chest.
"If it's underground tech then how'd Kory know what it was?" Gar asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Her parent's are loaded." Robin said.
"And you would know because-"
"My father owns a huge company." Robin said cutting Gar off.
"He's the heir to Wayne Enterprises. I remember reading an article about you." Cyborg stated.
"Then why's he here, Kory got tossed here cause someone framed her. I blew someone's brains out. Raven threatened a bank with a heater. Beast boy started a protest outside of Mega Meaty Meat-"
"Aww man I love that place." Cyborg said interrupting Tara.
"Dude it kills animals and it has meat juice. What kind of place has meat juice?" Gar asked.
"A really good place that's what, who do you think won the meat chugger's contest three years in a row?" Cyborg said grinning.
"Five pounds of artery killing, over cholesterol greasy pounds of meat…I'm sure that's really healthy." Raven said sarcastically.
"I got brought in here for murder." Robin said as Kory gasped.
"Why would you take an innocent life?" Kory asked desolately, not wanting to believe her new friend would do such a thing.
"Anthony Zucco was anything but innocent. He murdered my parents and if he were still alive I'd torture and make sure he has a painful death." Robin said with spite.
"So you did not commit the act of taking one's life?" Kory asked.
"Someone beat me to the punch but I was credited with his murder, least to say my father wasn't happy." Robin said as Kory sighed.
"If most of us were framed or had a good reason to go with the 'bail', why are we here and how it that we were coincidentally thrown in here, while others were let free?" Kory asked.
"We're probably resistant to the chemicals they put in the food." Cyborg said pressing a few buttons on his arm.
CLANK
"Someone's coming." Tara said as Raven placed the holographic generator back and they all hid. Six people, one cabinet, extremely cramped and nervous.
"Pathetic mortal, you were supposed to kill him." A voice said.
"Please master, understand the boy is stronger and more intelligent then I presumed." Another said.
"It's Slade and Blood." Gar whispered.
"I want them dead…besides the girl." Slade said.
"Did the synthoids come in yet?" Blood asked.
"They'll be the temporary replacement for the pathetic excuse for the guards." Slade said locking the door before walking out.
"Dude, get your foot out of my face." Gar said as they tried to untangle themselves from the cramped space. Cyborg got out and they all fell on the floor.
"Ouch" Tara replied getting up and dusting herself off.
"The doors locked." Robin said trying the door. He put one foot on the door and attempted to pull the knob off.
"You're telling me we're locked in?" Raven asked.
"Seems like it…" Robin said.
"Dude totally not cool. If we're stuck in here and they find us we're busted." Gar said.
"…Can you rewire that arm into some kind of weapon?" Robin asked Cyborg.
"I think so…I'm gonna need some tools though…" Cyborg said as Raven grabbed some nearby power tools.
"Knock yourself out." She said handing them to him.
"Thanks…but it's going to take a while." Cyborg said.
"How long, exactly?" Tara asked.
"About an hour" Cyborg replied glumly.
"Well…this could be a good chance to know each other." Robin said pulling up a chair and taking a seat.
"Reminds me of peer mediation… I hated that class." Tara muttered.
"Was that the class they asked you what job your mom-"
"I don't want to talk about it." Tara said glaring at Gar.
"Ok…you've heard about mine what about your parents…we'll go around left to right." Robin said.
"Oh goodie" Raven said sarcastically, she was first.
"My father's a drunk asshole and my mother's on the brink of dying." Raven said bluntly.
"I am most sorry. My parent's are kind, but my sister Kom Anders is how you say a female dog." Kory said.
"…My parents died in a boating accident, I live with my adoptive parents, Rita Farr and Steve Dayton." Gar said.
"Isn't Rita Farr a former actor and Steve Dayton a billionaire?" Cyborg asked.
"Oh…yeah about that…heh" Gar said.
"My dad ditched my mom and me when I was five. My mom gets drunk a lot and keeps trying to kill me so she could sue this place. Fucking bitch…I pay the rent anyway." Tara said.
"How do you pay the rent?" Robin asked.
"I have a job you know. You think I'm some kind of bum? I don't need to be a rich kid to live." Tara said.
"What job do you have?" Kory asked as Tara looked at Raven not wanting to talk about it.
"She does work on a farm." Raven said as Gar bursted out into laughter.
"Never imagined you to be a farm girl" Gar said laughing.
"Sure…just so you know I slaughter chickens and cows every morning." Tara said smirking as Gar stopped abruptly.
"Dude…"
"I was joking. I do manual labor and don't touch the animals, vegetable boy." Tara said punching him in the arm.
"She does have a night life…" Raven said as a frown spread across Tara face.
"What is she, a hooker-?"
"Don't even go there bird boy." Tara said glaring daggers at Robin.
"She does cage matches." Raven said.
"My knorfka has told me of such 'cage battles'. They are most horrible and dangerous, why do you participate in such activities?" Kory asked.
"I have to make a living somehow. I spend days starving cause I have to pay the rent. I just finished paying the debt up before I got tossed in here and I'll probably be greeted with more once I get out of here. Thanks to good ol' mom. I'll be glad if I find her dead by the time I'm out." Tara said.
"What about you Cyborg?" Gar asked.
"Me and my mom used to get along real well, but she's dead now… I don't like to talk about it…but she died in an accident when she and pops were working on an experiment. My dad and I never get along. He wants me to be like him. I wanted to be a football player someday. Look at me, now I'm some kind of freak cause of that Blood guy. I swear I'm gonna make him pay…" Cyborg said turning a screw on his arm.
"All done" He said.
"I thought you said an hour." Raven said.
"Took faster than I thought" He said shrugging and aiming at the door.
"Careful, we don't want to break…too…much…of…this…stuff…" Robin said then a smile spread across each of their faces, except Kory who was confused.
"Let's show Slade why to not mess with a bunch of teens." Tara said cracking her knuckles then grabbing a crowbar.
"Don't make too much noise. We don't want to wake anyone up and it's a surprise." Raven said as she smiled as well, freaking the guys out.
"Dude, Raven just smiled." Gar said as she glared.
"And you overuse the word 'dude'." Raven said.
"You know she's right." Cyborg said as Gar grumbled.
BOOM
"Whoops. My bad, didn't know that could blow up." Tara said covered in soot, she coughed.
"Friend Tara, why are you destroying objects in this room?" Kory asked.
"Uh…cause its fun?" Tara said.
"But these might be very useful tools for-"
"Annihilating us? Kory these people are trying to kill us…but she does have a point. Tara you think you could get some samples of that exploding stuff?" Robin asked.
"No prob. got a bunch of this stuff right here." Tara said filling a small empty container that looked like a grenade. She threw it.
BOOM
"Wicked awesome" Gar said looking over and filling more grenade shaped containers.
"Where'd you get those containers anyway?" Robin asked.
"Oh yeah…you weren't here last year…Me and Rae caused havoc in the science lab. She wanted to examine some stuff so I just messed around with some beakers and deformed them." Tara said shrugging.
"Most of these are really dangerous chemicals. We could use them during the riot." Cyborg said.
"You know, we're like some kind of team and I thought it'd be cool if we had a name." Tara said. No one said anything.
"Yeah…it was a stupid idea anyway." She muttered.
"Actually I think it's a great idea." Gar said inching closer to her.
"Nice try Romeo." Tara said chuckling then shoving him a bit.
"Hey can't blame a guy for trying." He said pulling up a chair. He glanced at the wall clock and yawned, 1:52.
"How about the Delinquents?" Gar asked.
"…Nah." He said later.
"The Steelers?" Cyborg asked.
"Is that not a football team?" Kory asked
"What do you guys think about 'The Titans'?" Robin asked.
"Needs something added to it, something to make it stand out a bit." Tara suggested.
"The Teen Titans" Raven said bluntly surprising everyone she actually had a suggestion. Robin grinned.
"Now we've got ourselves a name." He said. Kory smiled, it was only a few days here and she already liked these people her parents and friends considered bums. These people were really…different. Different but nice, in her country being nice was considered a weakness needless to say her parents and sister saw her as a weakling. Thought she somehow managed to fit in with them, like she never could at school or at home.
"Hey Kory you coming?" Robin asked as she ran over. Oh yeah, she really did like this place.
A.N. Well here's an early Christmas gift. Blended some stuff with the comic most of it true some of it not. Steve Dayton is Mento and Rita Farr is Elasti-girl. Anthony Zucco killed Rob's parentson the hi-wire. Really pissed to hear that they're going to canceled season 6 and no more Teen Titans, I've been hearing that for months. We must save that show by buying merchandise...as cheesy as that sounds. Well you could also write to them at:
Cartoon Network
1050 Techwood Drive
Atlanta GA 30318
We'd really appriciate it for your contribution and try to write nice letters cause the harsh ones might really piss them off. Now this sounds like some kind of advertising crap... well happy reviewing and writing.
