So! There are five titans. Well, at least five titans that I actually care about. I'm thinking twenty bucks each. I got a hundred dollars for the whole set. Deal?

I guess I still don't own the Teen Titans
By the time the team had arrived the Batmobile replica that Adriana had custom made was slowly melting. It hit the ground from the air roughly, making Adriana cringe.
"Aw! I worked so hard on this. We need a car. I mean a real car, Crimson," Adriana said hopping through the window. Ghost phased through the back with Celestial taking her by surprise. Celestial looked at the boy and cocked her head to the side.
"You're light," she said.
"Duh. You think souls weigh anything?" he said with a laugh. Crimson hopped out the window landing catlike on his feet. The four of them were confused at the sight they saw. All the cars on the street were...squashed. As if someone had made a giant fist and punched every car to a pulp. Glass and metal littered the streets.
There was no one anywhere.
"Hello?" Ghost called out. The four walked slowly in the street.
Adriana cupped her blue hands around her mouth.
"Hey!" she shouted.
CRASH!
All four heads turned in the direction of the sound. Crimson nodded. They approached the place cautiously. It was a New England Pub with forest green and dark wooden tables.
"Ghost," Crimson said. "You go in first." Ghost immediately made himself invisible. There was no sign of his presence other than the glass that crunched under his feet. Inside there was a giant blonde man who was shirtless. His hair was tussled around his face.
Next to his hand was a hammer, not like any ordinary tool. It was a weapon with similar features as a sledgehammer. He was panting hard and leaning against the counter. His arms held him as his palms were flat against the surface.
"Uh...Hey, man," Ghost said careful to keep himself invisible. The hammer guy looked over his shoulder. He quickly picked up his hammer and held it up like a hitter at the home plate. He was impossibly huge. His green eyes narrowed to slits. His chest was broad, muscles rippled with each movement. He looked from left to right seeing no one visible. He rested his hammer on his padded football player sized shoulder.
"I said to stop!" Hammer guy shouted as he threw his hammer at a nearby table. He ran over to it just as quickly and picked it up ready to throw again.
"Chill out!" Ghost said getting out of the way of the heavy blows.
"Stop it! Both of you!" came a new voice. Ghost turned his head in the direction of the voice. Celestial ran over the rubble, her black wings wide. "Ghost, you're scaring him!"
"He's scaring me!" Ghost pointed at him becoming visible. At this, Hammer guy leapt at him. Ghost shielded himself and let Hammer guy phase through him. Hammer guy crashed through the wreckage sending splintered wood flying through the air.
"It's okay. Leave him alone," Celestial said gently to the Hammer guy. Hammer guy got up to his feet.
"What are you doing, bird girl?" Ghost asked hesitantly. He stood beside the angelic. Without warning she grabbed his hand lacing her fingers in between his. She met his gaze serious as ever.
"Trust me and do what I say. Hold your ground when he comes back at us," she ordered.
"Geez, you're worse than Crimson," Ghost muttered. Hammer guy charged again.
"Phase," she said. Hammer guy held his mighty hammer over his head ready to strike. Celestial stood her ground, and in turn forced Ghost to stand his. Hammer guy came within reach. Celestial held out her hand. In a moment they were both transparent.
Hammer guy fell through them hitting the ground and the wall with such momentum that it shook the building.
"Whoa," Ghost said waving his hand through the dust that had been kicked up. Celestial let go of Ghost's hand and showed what she obtained with her free hand. She held a small chip between her thumb and her forefinger. Crimson and Adriana stepped into the building. They carefully stepped over the remains of furniture. "Some help you guys were," Ghost huffed.
"Oh," Adriana said with mock sweetness. "But you were handling the situation so well."
"Celeste said she had a vision and she had the situation. And what do you know? She did," Crimson said. Celestial grinned at him.
"You did great," Celestial complimented Ghost. He gave a small grin. Then she handed the chip to Crimson. "This has been effecting him in some way. He should be better now."
Suddenly Hammer guy raised up from the debris with his huge hammer raised. The four of them back peddled toward the wall. Celestial grinned sheepishly.
"Or I could be wrong," she said. This time Hammer guy smashed the head of his weapon on the ground. The shockwave sent all the teens flying backward. Crimson recovered with a barrel roll in the air and landed gracefully.
"Who are you?" Hammer guy shouted angrily. He scowled from one super hero to the next. "Why have you brought me here?" Ghost got up to his feet.
"Hey, pal! I got a better question. Why did you smash up the entire street?" Ghost asked forcing himself up and shaking off the rubble he'd landed in. The Hammer guy looked at each of them again. Then slowly he looked around the bar. He seemed to only just then notice the damage.
"I-I didn't do this," he said. He paused for a moment. "Did I?"
"We won't hurt you, if you are no longer a threat," Crimson said cautiously. Hammer guy kept on looking around the room completely amazed at the damage. "Can we trust you? Who implanted this on you?" Crimson held the chip up between his thumb and his index finger.
"I don't know," Hammer guy said.
Crimson held it up to his eyeline and observed the small chip. Hammer guy was quiet and obviously still confused.
"We're going to have to check this out," Crimson said.
"Our first super villain. What do you think his power is? Super strength?" Adriana questioned. She looked at Ghost, who shrugged. Adriana shrugged. "Or maybe its his magic hammer?"
Ghost scoffed.
"There's no such thing as magic," he said. Adriana gave him a skeptic look.
"Oh really? Than how is it your soul can jump out of your own body," Adriana said cocking an eyebrow. Ghost folded his arms stubborn.
"It's psychological," he said. Adriana started to argue when she was interrupted.
"Maybe we should let him join us," Celestial suggested out of seemingly nowhere. Crimson looked up and shot her a look. Celestial met his gaze confused by the ferocious look. "Agent Red said she would fund up to five members. I don't see why not." Crimson clenched his jaw obviously upset. She decided to ignore the look and led the way out of the building escorting their unintentional super villian with her. They deserted the rubble that was once a pub and went outside where the car was almost completely water.
"Aw," the elemental grumbled. Adriana outstretched her hand and spread her fingers. The block melted, spread, and froze again into a slab of ice. She stepped on top of it. Ghost came up next, along with Celestial, then Crimson. The leader looked over his shoulder at the oversized shirtless teenager.
"Well, come on," he said. Hammer guy gingerly stepped forward and onto the ice. Crimson held up his hand with the chip in the center.
"Hold on, folks," Adriana said levitating the ice slab in the air.
There's nothing like crime on a Sunday!
