I do not own the Teen titans
Friday night, 20.12
Back at Jump City central, the Titans were in a fight against a new kind of criminal. This one was strait to the point with hard attacks, destruction and carnage. They had been fighting the beast for nearly half a hour now and the team was starting to tire while the beast seemed to take the fight more as a game. Robin quickly lashed out with his Bo-staff but found his Bo-Staff grabbed by the creature. Robin was too slow to react before he felt the beast smash it's fist into his stomach. Robin flew through the air and hit a building about fifteen feet away. The beast laughed with an amused chuckle as he snapped the Bo-staff in half and tossed it behind. He then fell to his knees as a large blue light flew into his back. He stood up and turned to face Cyborg who looking back slightly shocked that his cannon barely harmed the creature. He then fired again and again but it did nothing to the beast as it approached closer to him until he was close enough to grab Cyborg's arm and life the man bot up in the air with just one arm.
"Oh man," Cyborg moaned before the beast raised his other arm and brought it full force into Cyborg's head.
The beast then spun round and launched Cyborg into the air. Cyborg landed on a electric cable above making sparks fly out and his body short circuit before the cable snapped and Cyborg fell to the floor with a thud. Sparks still flew out of his robotic body while Cyborg's Human side looked around in distress. Starfire then flew up above Cyborg.
"I will ask you only once, reframe from harming my friends," Starfire requested as her eyes glowed a fierce green and her hands held a green glow.
"And I will," the beast spoke for the first time in an echo like growl. "If you bring me my Rider," it said then turned just in time to grab the tusks of a green charging elephant.
The green animal came to a almost immediate halt as the beast grabbed it and then gave Beastboy a evil grin. Beastboy just watched in horror before he felt his entire body being lifted up from the ground and slammed onto his back behind the beast. Starfire took Beastboy's failure as an advantage and began to toss hand full on hand full of starbolts and several hits with her eye beams. After less than a minuet, she ceased fire and landed on the ground. The Titans watched the dust that Starfire's attack brought up, settle.
"You're kidding me?" Beastboy said looking tired as he stood up from where he had been body slammed and rubbed his back.
"This is impossible!" Cyborg called, still unable to move from where he was laid though Robin had helped him sit up.
The beast, although he was badly beaten and bleeding now, was still up and snarling at them. It seemed like he didn't even feel the pain, either that or he didn't care. Raven and Jinx then ran round the corner. Raven quickly used her powers to form a large black claw and grabbed the beast, pinning it down to the ground while Jinx laid down a few Hexes to it's head. They then quickly charged over to join their fellow team mates.
"About time you guys got here," Robin said sound slightly irked.
"Sorry, I was a little tied up with the robbery you sent me to stop," Raven said eyeing the boy wonder.
"Yeah and I… I had things to take care of," Jinx smiled off into space remembering her night with Cathy while Raven raised a eyebrow.
"That doesn't matter now," Robin said as he stood up. "This thing has been wrecking the city and we can't stop it."
"Well, what does it want?" Jinx asked as she zoned back into reality.
"Something called a Rider," Starfire said looking towards the pink haired teen.
"Rider? What Rider?" Raven asked with a raised eyebrow.
Starfire only shrugged as the Titans looked at her. Jinx then turned and faced the beast before facing the Titans once more.
"Give me a sec," Jinx said before walking up to the beast as the Titans watched.
"Dude, what's she doing?" Beastboy asked unsure with what was happening.
"Not sure, but I hope she knows," Robin said looking at Jinx approach the creature that was just recovering from Raven and Jinx's attack.
"Hey, big tall and hairy!" Jinx yelled up to try and get the creatures attention. It looked down with a confused look on it's face before Jinx spoke again. "What are you doing? Why are you destroying my city?"
"Get out of my way, pest!" It bellowed then lashed out but Jinx barley avoided it as she leaped over the arm.
"Oh come on! Maybe we can help you?" Jinx said happily as the beast stared down at her.
"Why would you help me?" it asked curiously.
"If it stops you from destroying my city then why not?" Jinx asked as the beast fell silent, considering Jinx's proposal.
"I want my Rider," it said unsure if he wanted the help or not.
"Okay, what exactly is a Rider? Are you talking about a jockey or somthing?" Jinx asked, keeping an eye out incase it tried to suddenly attack.
"No, my Rider," it said sounding annoyed. "She is here in your City. I can feel her."
"Okay, okay. Chill." Jinx said taking a step back. "How about if we help you find her. Will you leave the city alone? We know this city like the back of our hands. We'll have better look finding her," Jinx pointed out as the beast thought for a second before nodding it's head. "Great, but you're going to have to give us time to look. If you're destroying the city then we'll have to attack you again which will stop all of us from being able to find her. You understand?"
"Yeah," it nodded while watching Jinx.
"Good, now what's she look like?" Jinx asked feeling that the situation was more calm.
"Black wings," it said as Jinx raised a eyebrow.
"Black wings? right," Jinx nodded. "Anything else?"
"She's my Rider," it growled.
"So you've said before," Jinx said as the beast snorted. "Shouldn't be too hard to spot a female with black wings flying about. Leave it to me."
"You have a week," it said making Jinx look up shocked.
"A week?" she repeated looking unsure.
"Seven days," it said standing tall. "I will return then and if you have not found my Rider, then I will destroy your city," it said then took a few steps back before turning and leaping onto a roof of a building and then charging away.
"What the hell was THAT!!!" Robin yelled as he stormed over to Jinx.
"I call that saving your butts," Jinx said turning to face her leader.
"You don't go around making deals with criminals," he said angrily.
"He would have destroyed the city if I didn't," Jinx pointed out. "This place already looks like a bulldozer ran through it, Cy is out for the count and you guys look like your not fare behind," Jinx added and it was true, the fight had warn the team down to a point where they would not have lasted another half hour. "What damage can Raven and I do that you guys couldn't plus, surely this gives us more time to come up with a plan or find that Rider person. Maybe she can help us?"
"We don't even know who Rider is," Robin said in a growl.
"Well, he said she was his so I'm guessing she his partner or something? I don't know," Jinx said thinking. "She has wings though so that would narrow it down a bit too."
"You…" Robin started before Starfire stopped him.
"She is right, friend," Starfire said putting a hand on his shoulder. "We put our most into the fight. He was too strong."
"And a week should be enough time to figure something out," Raven said using her powers to carry Cyborg's body.
Robin turned to Jinx as shr stayed quiet hoping for the best. Though she hadn't been a Titan for long, the team had grown to like her. Even Raven who doesn't enjoy to get close to anyone, but the two seemed to click and have a lot in common. The only one who was reluctant to accept Jinx's help was Robin. He seemed fine at first while she was still dating Kid Flash but since the two broke up, he seemed more reluctant to trust her.
"Fine," Robin said after a short pause as he watched Jinx. "But your in charge of finding this Rider."
"Yes sir!" Jinx said as she came to attention and gave the boy wonder a salute. Robin turned to walk off and then the full salute turned into a one fingered one as she eyed the back of his head. "You prat," she whispered under her breath before following the team.
