Author's note: Hey thanks for all the reviews, I love reading all of your compliments and critics.

Guest: I'm not using the JLA in this story, I'm using the Justice League Unlimited, as in the cartoon not comics. The reason I put Robin on equal with Batman is because of the episode where he trained with the True Master and he's older than he was back then and more mature. As for Starfire and Superman, both aliens, both with super strength, both can shoot lasers from their eyes, why aren't they equal? And who said anything about Raven hurting Etrigan? As for Batman freezing their assets and knowing all their weaknesses, I'm going on the theory that he didn't even know Robin had started a team as they haven't communicated in a while. Thanks anyway.

patattack: nice to hear from you again. Glad you like the chapter, wait until you read this one!

youngjusticefanatic: Glad you like the live coverage, just wait for the rest of this chapter. And I agree with you in that Batman needs to be yelled at, but don't worry, he'll learn his lesson by next chapter...at least that's what I have planned.

Enjoy and don't be afraid to comment! I'll be sure and reply.


Chapter 15

The Plan Part 3: Theatrics

"And we're back with more coverage of TTGR, I'm your host, Cyborg and if you're just joining us, let's get you up to speed," Cyborg said on the big screen. "The Teen Titans and some members of the Justice League attacked the villain's headquarters and destroyed it. Now the battle rages. Batgirl and Jinx have freed the cops and are on their way to the battle. We go now to our field agent Bumblebee for a quick update on the battle. Hey Bee, what's going down?" The screen changed to Bumblebee flying over the city.

"Yo Cy, what's up?" she asked.

"Um…you're supposed to tell me," Cyborg said.

"Right then, follow me," she said, leading the way. "As you can see, Starfire and Blackfire are going at it like mortal enemies. This is one fight that people would pay to see. Below the Titans and Justice League members are doing their best to push the villains back, but their numbers are overwhelming. Wait…" she paused as something caught her eye. "Cyborg, it looks like the rest of the Justice League have come to the party late. More on the story as it develops and maybe we'll get a word in with some of them later. Back to you."

"Alright Bee, we'll check back in a few. We now go live to Beastboy leading the attack inside the Justice League's Watchtower. BB, what do you got for us?" Cy asked. The scene changed again to Beastboy standing in the watchtower with fighting in the background.

"Beastboy here, we're about wrapped up with everyone here," he said. "There are only a few villains around and they're no match for my team! I predict a quick win, now I've gotta get back into the action. Beastboy out," he said, but before the camera cut off, he let out a scream as a blast almost caught him.

"Okay, you'd better not get my camera destroyed, BB," Cyborg said. "In other news, I've just got word that the circus is in town, starring the acrobats on wheels!" The scene changed to Batgirl riding her bike with Jinx standing on her shoulders. The screen cut to show Robin on his with Aqualad on his shoulders. "Let's see if they can make the dismount and…" Cyborg paused as the two bikes crossed each other and the two heroes on the riders' shoulders jumped off, flipped to the side and landed on their feet. "And they made it!"

Robin grinned. This was going great. The villains were off balance with Cyborg's live coverage of the night and distracted while everything had so far gone as planned and it was barely midnight.

"Hey Robin," Red-X called from the roof. "Mind if I jump on?"

"Come on," Robin said. "Hey Cyborg, report this!" Red-X jumped off the corner of the roof, flipped three times and landed standing up on the back of Robin's bike.

"Boo-yah! Did you see that folks?" Cyborg roared.

"Where we heading?" Red-X asked, sitting down.

"North side, there's some major fighting down there," Robin said, but as he said it, he passed near the harbour and saw a few heroes having trouble with Cinderblock, Joker and Bain, including Batman.

"Go, I'll head to north side," Red-X said.

"How?" Robin asked. Red-X looked up to see Bumblebee fly overhead.

"That's how," he said. "Bee, I could use a lift." With that he disappeared and reappeared in the air where Bee caught him and started an interview on their way. Robin found one of the ramps that Herald had dropped off and road it smoothly around the corner and through the loop and road at top speed firing his guns on the way. In one shot, he hit the tube that Bain used to feed the drug into his blood stream, in another, he sent Cinderblock flying into a building and in another he sent Joker through a window.

"Tramm, Pantha, are you two okay?" Robin asked.

"We are fine," Pantha said. "Just bruised."

"Good, north side needs back up," Robin said. "Take my bike, you'll get there faster I need to head west and make sure that everything is going as planned."

"You got it," Pantha said, mounting his bike. Tramm hopped on behind her with a few noises and let out a low shriek as she took off. Robin stood a moment with his back to Batman.

"And here I thought you didn't like the company I kept," he said, coldly. Batman was shocked.

"Robin, I…"

"Save it," Robin said. "Raven, I've got three villains for pick up."

"On my way," Raven's voice came.

"If you don't like to see Raven mad, I suggest you get out of here soon," Robin said, before using his grappling hook to get onto the roof and head west.

Starfire was having trouble against her sister, Blackfire. She'd grown stronger and was not willing to lose after all she'd been through.

"You won't win, sister," she said. "You've never had a chance. I always won."

"You didn't win last time and you won't win this time!" Starfire shouted as she blasted her sister almost into the electric net over the city. Blackfire countered and Starfire was knocked unconscious as she plummeted towards the ground.

"STARFIRE!" Robin shouted, having just arrived. Shayera was the first to hear, the first to see and the first to react. She flew at top speed towards her and caught her several feet above the ground before landing in an alley way away from Blackfire.

"Starfire, wake up," she said, gently shaking her. Starfire's eyes fluttered open and she saw who saved her.

"Shayera, you…you saved me?" she asked, sitting up. "But…I thought you hated me."

"I thought I did too," Shayera admitted. "But it's not you, it's me. I hate myself for not being able to help my people when they needed me most. It's not your people's fault."

"But it's not your fault either," Starfire said. "You did what you thought was right and in a world of doubt, that's all we can do. You made a decision, maybe not the best for your people, but the best for you." Shayera grinned.

"What do you say we work together and take your sister down?" she asked. Starfire smiled.

"Yes, let us work together," she said. They both flew out and Blackfire was surprised at the sight of them working in perfect time.

"Cyborg, here's news from the Watchtower," Beastboy said. "All villains have been rounded up and placed in holding. This program has been brought to you by Batman's remote. Don't leave home without it."

"That's great news BB," Cyborg said. "Now we go back to Bumblebee to get a word with some of the Justice League members."

"Thanks Cy," Bee said. "Hey Green Arrow, what's your take on the situation?" Green Arrow looked at the camera, looked a Bee and back again.

"Kids," he said, before leaving.

"Guess he didn't have an answer," Bee said. She paused to fire at some on coming villains, knocking them out instantly. "Back to you, Cy."

Raven grinned slightly at them having too much fun with this. Her job in the plan was to keep an eye overhead and round up all the villains that had been beaten. So far, about half of them had been sent to jail and the other half was still a larger amount than anyone would've liked. It was now into the early hours of the morning and even though the sun wasn't out yet, she could tell that the long night was taking its toll on everyone. All around, heroes were retreating temporarily into buildings and underground for a chance to heal and catch their breath. That is, almost everyone except Etrigan.

Raven paused in her surveying flight to watch Etrigan as he fought a dozen villains on top of the tallest building in Gotham. She knew that he had been the one to suggest she was a threat, but even she had to admit that he was doing an incredibly good job. Fire shot from his mouth and his claws raked anyone who got too close. He just knocked out the last of the villains before wiping his forehead and taking a step back that was one step too much. Etrigan fell off the edge and plummeted to the street below. Raven didn't know how resilient he was to injury, but she was sure a fall like that would leave him immobile.

Without a second thought, Raven shot down as fast as she could, used her power to grab him first and then swooped in and grabbed him before swerving up into the sky again. Etrigan looked up at his saviour and growled.

"What are you doing here?" he demanded.

"Apparently, saving your sorry butt," Raven said in her monotonous tone.

"Why?" Etrigan asked, not losing the threat in his voice, but Raven could tell he was curious.

"Because that's what heroes do," Raven said. "We help each other. I may be half demon, my father may be Trigon, but I'm part human too, and I've learned that humans have to help each other if we want to get something done." Etrigan snorted.

"Half human is still half human," he said.

"At least I have a human side," Raven said. Etrigan didn't respond as Raven placed him on another roof and left to gather up the villains he'd left her.

Dawn was approaching as the final villains were being rounded up and returned to prison in their proper towns. Robin was rather happy with the way things turned out. Batgirl was still doing tricks on the jumps and Cyborg would freak out in his reporting. Everything had gone as planned. The only ones left were Blackfire, Bizarro, Control Freak, and a few other minor villains. A few heroes were taking breaks, or helping others with villain clean up and injuries. The rest were making sure that all the villains had been taken care of. Robin watched as Shayera and Starfire fought against Blackfire.

She had proven to be a big problem, but the two friends had an idea. Together, Shayera and Starfire flew up as close as they dared to the barrier chased by Blackfire. She was in such a rage that when the two of them changed course, she couldn't react in time and instead hit the electric net. After a moment, she fell unconscious and was caught by Starfire who smiled at Shayera as they tied her up good and brought her back down.

Robin was glad that they were getting along, but he was also glad that the master mind behind all this trouble was out cold and on her way to a stronger prison than the one before. However, he also noticed something else. On the bridge, he saw Batman fighting against a minor villain called Steamroller. Batman was exhausted and barely holding his own, so Robin didn't hesitate to fire a grappling hook and swing over the short distance. Steamroller was coming at Batman, who was pinned against the side of the high bridge. Robin swung the final length and kicked Batman out of the way. Steamroller ploughed through Robin and he fell off the edge.

"Robin!" Batman shouted. Steamroller laughed, but then realized that Robin had left one of his disk grenades on his roller. It exploded and caused him to pass out. Batman looked over the edge to see Robin hanging on by a thread…literally. The line of his grappling hook was beginning to break. Batman reached down to grab the line but before he could, the line snapped and Robin splashed into the sea below and didn't come back out.


Author's Note:

*gasp* Oh no, Robin! What? You don't think I'm going to have him die in this do you? That was just for the drama and to help knock some sense into Batman. For those of you hoping they'll make up, don't worry, you'll get your wish...but first I've got to get him out of the water! Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe, wish me luck! lol
