"GREATEST BOY MAGICIAN" - A YOUNG BOY ARRIVES AT TITANS TOWER WITH ONE GOAL IN MIND, TO BECOME A TEEN TITAN.

"GREATEST BOY MAGICIAN"

It was a new day in Jump City and the Titans all hung out in the living room. Cyborg and Robin played a video game, Beast Boy was on the side-lines since it was a two-player game. Raven sat in the kitchen with Starfire, Silkie by her side. She was reading one of her horror novels. Starfire had a bowl filled with some weird Tameranian food which she had placed mustard all over.

"Dudes, come on!" whined Beast Boy. "It's my turn!"

"Sorry, BB, you'll have to wait." said Cyborg.

"Yeah, just go do something else." added Robin. Robin was the leader but even he had his moments where he liked to goof off, such like a moment like this when he was playing video games.

Beast Boy groaned and walked away. He made his way to the front of the window and sat down. He looked outside. Nothing much there. Big blue sky, the city, a giant hat heading for Titans tower, the ocean...Wait! A giant hat heading for Titans Tower!

"Dudes..."

"Not now, Beast Boy," Cyborg said. "It's still my turn."

Beast Boy now ran in front of the tv, blocking Robin and Cyborg from seeing. He was jumping up and down saying something no one could really understand. His action attracted Raven and Starfire to stop their activities.

"Beast Boy!" Robin yelled. "Calm down. What's wrong?"

Beast Boy took a deep breath and spoke. "There's a giant hat outside heading strait for us!" he yelled, grabbing fist fulls of his green hair in panic.

Before anyone could react a giant black hat smashed through the living room window. The show didn't end there. The hat turned into a gust of wind and disappeared. All that stood there was a boy.

He was dressed in a black suit with matching black shoes. He had on a white shirt with white gloves and a red bow tie. Around his shoulders was a black cape with red interior held by two yellow buttons and a chain. The boy had black hair and blue eyes. On top of his head was a black magicians hat with a red ribbon across it.

"A little bit of a ruff landing but I think I made it," said the boy, staring at the room. That's when he looked at the Titans and ran up to them, shaking their hands. "Hi, it's so cool to meet you guys! Nice place by the way."

"It was nice till you broke our window." Raven said in her regular monotone voice.

The boy slapped his forehead. "Oh, sorry about that. I'll fix it."

He directed his hands at the shattered pieces of glass. "Riaper."

The glass was encased in a blue light and began to fly off the ground. The glass connected itself to make a new window.

The boy dusted off his hands. "Good as new."

"How'd you do that?" Cyborg asked.

"It's part of my powers."

"Tell us stranger, who are you?" Starfire asked.

The boy took off his hat and bowed down. "I'm Zatara. The greatest boy magician !"

"Magician?" Starfire asked. "The people who do the tricks of magic?"

Zatara nodded.

"So, Zatara, what exactly made you come crashing through our window?" asked Robin.

A bright smile appeared on his face. "I wanna be a Teen Titan!"

-

The group had settled around the living room. Zatara sat in the middle of Beast Boy and Starfire. Raven sat next to Starfire, her arms folded across her chest. Robin and Cyborg stood standing up, watching their new guest. Zatara had a smile on his face which was slowly being brought down to a frown. The silence was starting to get at every one. Robin ran a hand in his hair. He didn't know what to do with a situation like this, but he knew he had to handle it. He was leader after all.

"So...um, Zatara," Robin began. "Why exactly do you want to be a Titan?"

"I wanna be a superhero," Zatara said proudly. "I even have a cousin in the league."

"Being a hero isn't all fun and games," Raven said. "Are you sure you want to be one."

Zatara nodded, his face serious. "More then anything."

"What are your powers?" asked Cyborg. "What can you do?"

"Besides breaking windows." Raven added sarcastically.

"I come from a long line of great magicians."

"So in other words magic?" Beast Boy asked.

Zatara nodded. "Here, let me demonstrate."

Zatara held out his hands on front of him. "Azzip." A box of pizza suddenly appeared in Zatara's hands. He opened the box and the fresh scent of hot pizza waved through the air.

Beast Boy sniffed it. "Dude...I think I should hold on to this." Beast Boy said, grabbing the box of pizza with a grin plastered to his face.

"You better share grass stain." Cyborg shouted as he jumped after Beast Boy to get a slice of pizza.

"So can I be a Titan now?" Zatara asked.

"No yet," Robin said. "I still have a few more questions. How good are your powers in battle?"

Zatara smiled sheepishly. "About that...I've never really been in battle."

"Well then," Robin began. "I think some training is in order."

-

After the first demonstration of Zatara's powers, the Titans thought it would be best for him to train outside. They didn't want any damage done to the inside of their home. The five Titans all stood in front of a computer, Zatara down at the training obstacle. The first thing Robin wanted Zatara to do was target practice. Zatara stood in the middle of the field when disc started to attack him. Then he realized he didn't know what to do. He started to run to avoid getting hit.

"Blast 'em!" Cyborg yelled.

Beast Boy pushed him out the way. "Hit 'em!"

Blast them, hit them? Zatara didn't know what to do. He made up his mind. He wanted to be a titan and no disc was getting in his way.

"Tab."

A bat suddenly appeared in his hands. A disc came forward him but this time he didn't run. He took the pose of a baseball player and smacked the disc away with the bat. The disc collided with another one making a small explosion. Smoke rose in the air and Zatara couldn't see. The smoke cleared and a disc came forward. Zatara didn't have time to react and the disc headed for the titans, crashing into them.

Zatara ran up to them. "You guys okay?"

The smoke cleared and Robin spoke. "I think we should do something else now."

The next activity that Robin chose to do was sparring. It didn't go so well. Beast Boy had to be Zatara's sparring partner and was a little worried. None the less he stepped up to the plate and transformed into a tiger and waited for Zatara to make a move. Seeing Beast Boy's new form gave Zatara a idea.

"Tnaig Yppup."

A cloud of smoke appeared, blinding every one from seeing what happened. Then, suddenly a giant paw stepped out from the smoke. Beast Boy (who was still in the form of a tiger) shook in fear. The smoke cleared revealing a giant puppy. The puppy barked and chased after Beast Boy. Beast Boy ran for like his life depended on it and went to where the other Titans were standing, hoping they would protect him. His plan was thrown back in his face as the puppy started to chase them as well.

Zatara, realizing his mistake, tried to stop the puppy. "Bad dog! Heel!"

After the dog incident the Titans retreated to their living room. They all groaned when the alarm came on.

Robin went to the computer to see what the trouble was. "It's Mumbo. Titans, move out!"

"Does that include me?" Zatara asked.

The Titans stopped in their tracks and looked at Zatara, then at Robin.

"Uh... maybe it would be best for you to stay here," Robin said. "At least for now."

The Titans ran out the room leaving Zatara behind.

-

The Titans made it to where the crime was taking place. It was an old run down building. The Titans walked inside slowly.

"Be careful," warned Robin as he took the lead. "There could be a trap."

The floor underneath them suddenly opened and the Titans fell into a hole.

-

Zatara sat on the couch in the living room. His feet was kicked up on the table and he was flicking through the channels. No doubt about it, he was bored. It had only been a little while since the Titans left and he wondered how their mission was going. That's when he flipped on a news channel. Instead of the regular anchor man, on screen was none other then Mumbo.

"Hello, Jump City!" Mumbo shouted on the screen. "I'm Mumbo Jumbo, here to give you the news of the century! I have your precious Titans all tied up and if you ever want to see then again then you will give in to my demands." Mumbo took out a scroll of paper that seemed to never end and Zatara turned of the television, not even bothering to listen to Mumbo's demands.

Zatara rose from his seat, his friends were in trouble and he needed to help them.

-

The Titans watched as Mumbo danced around, happy over his victory. They were all currently strapped to the wall with special cuffs binding them. These cuffs made sure they couldn't escape using their powers.

"Well, well, Titans," Mumbo mocked, standing in front on them. "Tell me, how does it feel to be beat?"

Robin narrowed his eyes. "You won't get away with this!"

"I already have. Once the city gives into my demands I'll make sure to get rid of you Titans. And there's not a thing you can do about it."

"I wouldn't be to sure about that." called out a voice. The Titans looked up and were glad to see Zatara.

Mumbo scratched his head. "Who are you?"

"I'm Zatara. Greatest boy Magician! Now let my friends go or prepared to be beat."

Mumbo laughed. "Who's gonna stop me, you? You're just a second rate MAGICIAN."

"Second rate magician," repeated Zatara. He narrowed his eyes, flames practically leaking from his eyes in anger. "Who do you think you're calling second rate!"

Mumbo stopped laughing. "Listen kid, why don't you leave the magic to the pro's."

Zatara pointed a finger at Mumbo. "If you're so sure you're a great magician then I challenge you to a duel! If I win you let my friends go."

Mumbo grinned and raised his hands, sparks flying from his finger tips. "Alright then. Mumbo magic!"

The sparks flew from his hands and filled the room. The entire room was changing into a show room. Zatara found himself on stage with Mumbo opposite on him. He looked around and spotted his friends. They were a good distance away and sitting behind a round table covered in white cloth. Zatara thought the place looked a like the club he would preform in back home. The boys were dressed in black suit while the girls had on black dresses. They were strapped to the chairs with the cuffs still binding them. Mumbo snapped his fingers and the lights came on, revealing the whole room.

"Show off." muttered Zatara.

"Zatara," Cyborg called out. "You can do it man."

"Just go for that hat." said Robin.

Zatara nodded. "Right, hat."

"Please be careful, friend." Starfire said.

"The guy can make a whole stage but he can't make some popcorn." complained Beast Boy.

Raven rolled her eyes at the green teen. "Idiot."

Zatara was starting to get nervous. Not only was his friends at risk, but so was he. He needed to prove himself. Not only to Mumbo or the Titans, but to himself as well. He needed to prove he deserved to be a Titan, that he truly was the greatest boy magician.

"I can do this," Zatara said to himself. "It's just like my shows at home."

"Nervous kid?" mocked Mumbo.

"No!" Although his answer sounded brave, Zatara was a nervous wreck. This was his first time going up against a real villain, he had every right to be.

"I'll let you make the first move so hurry up and go."

Zatara smirked. "Gnidolpxe Eip!"

A pie suddenly appeared in his hand and the Titans were shocked.

"He summoned a pie?" Cyborg said in disbelief. "He's gonna beat Mumbo with pie!"

"We are so doomed." Raven said dryly.

Mumbo was laughing his head off. "That's your move! I knew you were second rate."

"I'm not done yet," Zatara took hold of his pie and threw it at Mumbo. As soon as it made contact it exploded in Mumbo's face. "That was my move."

Mumbo wiped his face and their was a scowl on his face. "So you wanna play hard ball, huh."

Mumbo took off his hat and began to dig through it, as if he was looking for something. Zatara looked puzzled. He couldn't figure out what Mumbo was doing.

"Dude! Look!"

A sudden cry from Beast Boy made Zatara become alert. He looked above him and noticed a large glove hand coming our of the ceiling that was hanging over him. It came down and Zatara had to think fast or he would be crushed.

Mumbo smiled as he took his hand out from his hat, making the larger hand disappear in the ceiling. To everyone's surprise Zatara wasn't there. Mumbo walked over to where Zatara had been standing and scratched his head in bewilderment.

"Looking for me?"

A smile spread across the Titan's faces and Mumbo turned around.

"You? But.. B-but I crushed you!"

Zatara only smiled. There wasn't a scratch on him. "At the last second I created a hole to escape your attack."

The Titans cheered and Mumbo gritted his teeth.

"I think it's time we end this. Odanrot!"

There was a shift in the room and the wind started to pick up. In the middle of the stage was a small gust of wind that began to form, increasing in size and spinning around. The Titans stared at the stage with wide eyes and were glad to be tied up right now. They had no idea Zatara could do something like this.

"You may wanna hold on to your hat's ladies and gentlemen."

The wind grew stronger and stronger with each passing second and grew. The wind started to pull everything in it's path. Mumbo grabbed the ledge of the stage as the tornado started to pull him in. His body started to float and his left hand let go of the stage.

"Alright, alright!" Mumbo cried. "I give up!"

Zatara held on to his hat and smirked. He knew the tornado wouldn't harm him, since he was the one who summoned it, and he knew Mumbo was scared to be pulled in. "Tell me how to release my friends first."

"There's a switch behind you, just pull it! Now help me."

"Not yet." Zatara smirked. "Who's the better magician?"

"You are. Just help me already!"

First thing was first, Zatara had to help his friends. He ran over to the red switch and pulled it down. The cuffs opened up, releasing the Titans. Since they were a good distance away they were safe from the tornado. Mumbo's hand slipped and the tornado pull him in. Zatara now noticed that he forgot about Mumbo. He clapped his hands in front of him and the tornado disappeared. Mumbo fell to the ground with a crash. He rolled over on his back and when he opened his eyes six teenage superhero's were standing before him.

-

The next day the Titans gathered around the living room to say farewell to Zatara who announced last night that he would departing in the morning. When asked why so soon he replied that it was time for him to get back to the stage.

Starfire wrapped Zatara in one of her famous hugs. "Oh, I shall miss you new friend."

Zatara smiled warmly at her. "I'll miss you to, Starfire," he turned to look at the other Titans. "All of you."

"Zatara," Robin began. "Before you go I want you to have something."

Robin held out a yellow communicator and Zatara stared at in disbelief.

"Does this mean... I get to be a Titan?"

"Sure does, dude," Beast Boy said, wrapping a arm around Zatara's shoulders. "You're one of us now."

"Congratulations, Zatara," Raven said. "You deserve it."

"Yeah, after the way you took down Mumbo." said Cyborg.

Zatara stared at the communicator in his hand, his mind went into overdrive. This was something that he wanted so badly and it was like a dream come true to say the least. He felt complete joy and a wide smile spread across his face.

"I'm a Titan!" he yelled, jumping up and down. "Woohoo! I'm a Titan!"

"You know what this calls for?" asked Beast Boy. "Pizza!"

The others nodded and began to head out but Cyborg pulled Robin aside.

"We're gonna need more communicators."
