Time for a history lesson: The Teen Titans, my Teen Titans, are one of two branches. We are actually Titans West. We are based in a place called Jump City. Yeah, they named somewhere Jump City. Why? I don't have a frickin' clue. Anyway Jump City is a technologically advanced place covered in skyscrapers and crawling with bad guys. The other branch of titans, imaginatively called Titans East, is based in Steel City. Steel City is an industrial 'paradise'. Where Jump city has its skyscrapers Steel City has its factories. Steel City is also somewhat heaving with villains. At one point Cyborg led the Titans East but then he came back to the West. Here endeth the lesson.

: T : T : T : T :

Using the main screen the titans were video-conferencing. On the screen were the Titans East sat in their own Tower watching their main screen on which were us. I was introduced to each in turn. "Bumblebee," African-American wearing a yellow and black stripy outfit with lasers in the shape of Bs. "Speedy," Ginger hair, slicked down, red costume, with arrows and a bow in a holder on his back. "Aqualad" Freaky black eyes with white specks for pupils, long black hair and a blue jumpsuit. "Mas y Minos," two Mexican kids in white costumes with red lightning bolts.

I guess, although Bumblebee was leader of the Titans East, Robin was the overall leader of the Titans. He certainly acted like it. He asked the T.E. for reports on how their battles with villains had gone and the like. There was an awkward silence on the other end.

Speedy got up. "Umm… Robin…" He looked around for support and found none. "You guys are breaking up! We've been having trouble with the comm. stuff so we'll sort it out and get back to you." He pressed a button on a remote, presumably the off button and we got one last (remarkably clear considering we were 'breaking up') glimpse of the T.E. arguing about who was meant to do the reports before the screen went blank.

Robin turned on Cyborg, who was in the process of walking out. "Cyborg. You did tell them they're supposed to have a record of everything?"

Cyborg was completely still.

"Cyborg?"

Robin stood in front of Cyborg and waved his hand in front of his face. "BOO-YAAH!" Cyborg shouted randomly, right into Robin's face.

"Where's Cyborg? If I ever see him using this robot copy to shirk his duty again he'll be cleaning the tower for a month!" I could see the real Cyborg hiding behind the sofa with a controller in his hand. He put a finger to his lips and started to sneak out the other door as Robin checked the other side of the room.

Just as Cyborg had reached the exit, Robin turned around and threw a weighted bola which wrapped around Cyborgs legs and brought him crashing to the ground with an "OOF!"

Robin began the long process of telling Cyborg off.

The rest of the Titans left the room in a hurry.

: T : T : T : T :

It was my turn to go out on patrol, in other words flying over the city until somebody told me to stop. Occasionally a villain might come out of the woodwork, but not very often.

Today however, the HIVE student See-More decided to rob the mall, again. I swear those HIVE kids are always stealing from that place. I guess even though they're evil and have powers it doesn't stop them being teenagers.

I called Robin for backup. "I'll send B.B. and Star. Between the three of you, you should be able to take down just him right? If you need more help me and Raven will come."

"What about Cyborg?"

"He is … busy … with Titans West stuff."

" 'kay. But I bet I can bring him down before they get here."

Robin smirked. "Sure, you can try, rookie. Robin, out."

: T : T : T : T :

Beast Boy raced around the Tower in search of Starfire. Racing down the corridor as a cheetah he stopped with a SCREEEECH! outside Starfire's room. "Star? You in there?"

"Indeed Beast Boy, I am making preparations for the fight with the nefarious do-badder Eye-Sore."

"… I think it's See-More." He raised an eyebrow, "What type of preparations?"

"Do you remember the last time we fought with him? He had see-through vision, which distracted me during the heat of the battle… I have found an earthly remedy to prevent this! I will be there soon, please go ahead to assist friend Void."

"…Whatever…" Beast Boy ran back down the corridor and flew as an eagle through the window and towards the mall.

: T : T : T : T :

The cyclops was stealing food in the mall, also having blown open a nearby cash machine.

I swooped down grabbing his bag of loot and depositing it on the floor. "What's the point in stealing money when you never buy anything?"

The super-powered teen paused, thinking. "… umm… Shut up!" He fired a weird optic blast at me; in response I opened a black hole into its path. He began to back towards the exit

"You're not going anywhere!" I swooped in, fast. I reached him and began pummelling him, SMACK! SMACK! SM-SMACK! I held back for a second, ready to hit him with what would hopefully be a knockout punch. Unfortunately, the villain grinned, pressed a button on his helmet and a big blue ball flew out and encapsulated me.

"Shit."

"Tut tut! Titans shouldn't swear!" See-More pressed another button on his helmet. BZZT! The blue ball let out little points of electricity, shocking me.

"When I get outta here I swear I'll–" BZZZT!

Thankfully, I noticed Beast Boy arrive out of the corner of my eye. Unfortunately, so did See-More, he turned and started trying to blast the changeling out of the sky.

ZZZAAP! Beast boy dived out of the way as a bat. ZZZAAP! Flew upwards as a hawk. ZZ-ZZ-ZZAAP! Swerving this way and that as a goose. He flapped towards the villain before-

THWAP! He collided with See-More as a bear, then proceeded to swipe at the ducking student. B.B. changed into a gorilla pulling his fist back to strike the crook. See-More reached to his helmet.

A couple of seconds later and Beast Boy bounced back in a ball similar to the one I was contained in. He struggled for a second.

"… dammit."

: T : T : T : T :

Starfire flew through the air, slightly slower than usual. Whatever her plan to stop See-More looking through her costume was, it was heavy.

: T : T : T : T :

Beast Boy and I looked at each other through the balls trapping us.

Beast Boy opened his mouth, I interrupted, "… I know you wanna make a joke right now, but if you do make a comment about the size of See-More's balls, I swear to god you'll regret it."

Beast Boy was closed his mouth.

See-More went about stealing more things from around the mall, collecting his bag of loot along with a few more items of food and clothing.

Starfire flew through the double doors, eyes blazing green. She fired her optic beams at our prisons, freeing us, before turning on the HIVE student.

"Stop nefarious pervert!"

See-More turned around and reached for a button on his helmet grinning.

"Do not think that you will be able to see through my costume! I have planned for this eventuality! I give you something you cannot see through!" She brandished a huge selection of what looked like wires.

See-More pressed the switch, and his grin spread even wider across his face. "It doesn't seem to be working, chick."

Starfire looked puzzled. "But is this not the led?"

"I can see where you made you're mistake… see they're leeds. And I can see right through them!" He winked, or possibly blinked… hard to tell when he only has one eye.

Starfire looked down at her body, dropped her leads and with an embarrassed "EEP!" fled the mall.

While this was happening, Beast Boy had been sneaking up behind the preoccupied cyclops, and he then turned into an octopus and wrapped up the limbs and torso of the struggling HIVE student.

"Lemme go you wan-" Beast Boys tentacle wrapped around the boys mouth.

I flew in and delivered a knockout punch to the temple of the HIVE member.

: T : T : T : T :

The Omega Wing guards came to take away See-More. Wearing their full armour and helmets and carrying guns they looked pretty intimidating. That is, if you didn't know that almost all of the current villains had at one time or another, with relative ease, broken into or out of the Omega Wing.

: T : T : T : T :

When me and B.B. returned to the Tower we found Robin consoling Starfire. "Well done you three. Any idea what See-More wanted in particular?" at the sound of the HIVE villain's name Starfire whimpered.

"Nope, maybe the Hive Five just ran out of food or something."

Behind them, Cyborg was giving a lecture to the Titans East about writing reports, on the main screen. They were slumped around their meeting room. Speedy was blatantly asleep, snores emanating from him. Mas y Menos just looked confused. "And so after you've done that, you have to check through the previous paragraph to make sur-"

Bumblebee got up from her seat. "Ok I think we got the gist of what you're saying."

"No! We've still got loads to cover!"

"Umm… hey… I think you're breaking up!" she pressed a button on a remote and the screen went blank.

Cyborg paused. "…Ah well, I tried."

: T : T : T : T :

"So, can I have another phone-call?"

"No."

"What about my helmet?"

"No."

"Aww man… well, can I at least see Brother Blood? He is my headmaster!"

"…fine… follow me."

See-More followed the Omega wing guard down the corridor towards Brother Blood's room.

The guard opened the cell door and See-More walked in with a smirk on his face. "Hey boss…"

: T : T : T : T :

Back at the Tower, Starfire had recovered, Cyborg was forgiven and me and Beast Boy were relaxing.

That is, until…

WRIIIIII! WRIIIIII!

The Titan alarm went off and the main screen said INCOMING TRANSMISSION.

A face appeared onscreen, glasses and outrageously red hair. "Alright my duckies!" Mad Mod in the flesh… or possibly a hologram. He pulled back from the screen, bizarrely he was wearing an English Royal Navy's officer suit. "You Americans won't join the British Empire peacefully? Then I'll just have to take it by force!"
