Disclaimer: I do not own Static Shock, Teen Titans or any of its characters. I own the OC and the story line.

(Static, Gear and Rubberband Man all look over to the source of the voice. When the dust cleared, an African American teen was seen. He was tall and well built. Oh, and he was half cybernetics too.)

?: You all look like you could use some help.

Gear: uh, yeah thanks…. Who are you again?

(A different voice answers him, though the person is out of sight.)

?: Introductions will have to wait. Titans go!

(The owner of the voice jumps down from a nearby building. One that Static recognizes immediately.)

Static: Wait, Robin?

Robin: Good to see you again Static.

(A girl with long red hair orange skin and green eyes flew at Mammoth knocking him through a wall. A black portal opened up revealing a pale girl in a purple cloak and long sleeved leotard.)

Gizmo: crud, it's the Titans! Grab what we came for and let's get out of here!

(A green rhino charges at Gizmo, but it went right through. This Gizmo was a hologram. The rhino changes to a green skinned, green haired boy with pointed ears and fangs. The villains are running away with some Jewels from the store. Hotstreak stops and turns around.)

Hotstreak: and to be sure you don't follow (blasts the jewelry store, setting it to flames.)

Robin: Titans, we have a new target. Put out that fire.

?: Azarth Metrion Sinthos! ( The girl in the cloak, after chanting, raises her arms and water lines rise up out of the ground. She aims them at the fire, successfully dousing the flames.)

Gear: Dammit, they got away!

Rubberband Man: I'm sure we'll catch them later, but for now…. Who are you guys?

Robin: I'm Robin, this (indicates to tall African American) is Cyborg

Cyborg: 'sup?

Robin: Beast Boy (points to kid with green skin)

Beast Boy: Dude.

Robin: Starfire (gestures to orange skinned girl) and Raven (points at the girl in the cloak)

Starfire: It is very nice to meet you!

Raven: yeah, hi.

Robin: We call ourselves the Teen Titans.

Static: cool, but what are you doing here? Isn't your place in Jump City?

Robin: Normally, but we've come here after the Hive.

Gear: the what?

Cyborg: The Hive are those goons, like Gizmo, that attacked you. More importantly we're here to find Brother Blood.

Static: I can tell this is going to a bit of a story, how about we discuss this somewhere private?

(later at the Abandoned Gas Station of Solitude)

Raven: This is your base?

Gear: It's the best we could do with our budget we're not rich ya know.

Robin: If I may? (all attention is drawn to him) Brother Blood is the leader of The Hive, and specializes in mind control. That's how keeps his students under his thumb, if you will.

Raven: They're here because of a prophecy about a great power.

Static: and that power is…?

Raven: Don't know, it's in an ancient mythical language that even I can't translate.

Beast Boy: then why did they steal jewels?

Static: some "jewels" are crystals and believed to have magical properties. From what I've heard they stole 2 crystals. An emerald and a sapphire. So is the text really that hard?

Gear: come on how bad could it be. (Robin hands him a picture of the text. The signs are so strange it looks more like complex doodle than it does writing.) …..ah.

Cyborg: Hey Gear, that Backpack of yours is a super computer 'aint it? Can't you use it to translate this?

Gear: (shakes head) This text is obviously very old. There would be no record of how to translate it anywhere.

Static: at least not by computer.

Beast Boy: huh?

Static: a friend of mine collects old books having to do with mythology and magic and such. I think I remember seeing something just like this in one of her books. So if we can get a hold of her….

Robin: Then we can get the text translated!

Static: Gear?

Gear: on it. Backpack, audio contact…?

Static: Talia.

(A/N made this up, supposed to be like calling, except without any problems like signal. Or phone bills.)

?: Hello?

Static: Hey, Talia. It's me.

Talia: Hey, what's up? What can I do for you?

Static: a…friend… of mine has come across a strange text, and I was thinking you might be able to translate it. We have a picture of it for you to look at.

Talia: hmmm, sure why not? Can I have 3 days at least? I just moved 2 days ago and want to get a little more organized.

Static: please don't tell me you're trying to put that library of yours back together.

Talia: It's not that bad…

Static: I was buried in a landslide of books!

Talia: pfft.

(Static notices the looks he's getting and skips straight to the point. He gets a nod from Robin okaying Talia's request.)

Static: 3 days is fine, we'll send you a copy of the pictures via e-mail.

Talia: sounds good. (loud bang in the background) uh, gotta go. Now. Before my dad hurts himself. Or destroys the house. (frantic pace of steps is heard, fading as she gets further away.)

Cyborg: well guess that settles that…. Uh, her father….

Static: (bemused) will be fine. He's done stuff like this before. It's Talia I'm more concerned about, and anyone unfortunate enough to be helping him.

OMG, Talia has actually updated. It's a miracle. Sorry for being so late I had an English summer project, advanced of course, that I needed to get done. All that's left is editing and I'm free. Sort of, school starts Wensday so…
