"And for my next trick I the Amazing Mumbo shall make all your money vanish into thin air." The stage magician turned master magical thief held up a bank, restrained all the people and now began the robbery "Hocus Pocus." Out of the massive bag of money burst a massive stream of dollar bills which Mumbo guided with his wand into his top hat and placed it back on his head. The turquoise wizard looked to a bound up female clerk, backed up to her, pulled up his sleeve reached into her ear and pulled out a penny "I just love a captive audience."

"They may be captive now," said a voice. The Titans stood at the entrance as Robin continued "but you're the one getting locked up."

"You forget," Mumbo said smugly "I'm an escape artist." A number of white balls appeared in his hands before he threw them. The Titans got out the way.

Rorschach stayed in place creating a force-field with his magic as the balls exploded around him 'I have to be careful here, Starfire says I lose my magic in fight with him.' He glanced over as Beast Boy changed into a crocodile and ate one of the ball, it went off in his mouth.

The four others fired everything, magic beams, Starbolts, Bird-a-rangs and a sonic blast. Mumbo turn them into flower. He took of his hat off and pull out a string of handkerchiefs. They wrapped around Cyborg's leg and dragged him into a pillar, slamming into Robin as well.

Starfire flew towards, the magician. Mumbo palmed out two decks of cards from his hand and flushed them at her. The hail of playing cards sent the Tamaranean down.

The green crocodile stalked up. With a flick of his wand Mumbo made the other end of the handkerchiefs tied Beast Boy jaw shut.

Rorschach sighed and charged readying his hands for an energy blast. Mumbo took off his cape and threw it over the Techno-mage. The cape fell flat on the floor. Mumbo picked it up and twisted it in view of everyone, nothing on either side. He flicked it towards the three of Cyborg, Robin and Starfire and Rorschach came flying out and crashed into them.

Raven hooved behind the turquoise wizard "It that all you've got?"

Mumbo conjured a cherry bomb in his hand and levitated it and launched it at the blue witch. She caught it with her magic and sent it back, blasting Mumbo's head. The female clerk saw the headless magician and fainted before Mumbo's head dropped from his hat. He raised his wand "Alakazam!"

Three steel hopes materialised above Raven and restrained her, "Cute trick," she said "Ready to see some real magic?" her magic aura covered her and she broke out of the bonds as she said her common spell "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." Her magic grabbed the dislodged pillar and lifted it and speed it toward Mumbo. The magician disappeared in a puff of smoke as the pillar came and missed him. He reappeared "Trying to steal the limelight hey? Then I guess I'll just have to make you part of the act." He raised his wand again "Mumbo Jumbo."

The pillar changed into a flock of doves which in turn became a tornado which surrounded and trapped her. It whirled over to the other Titans and Robin reached for Raven, Starfire grabbed Robin, Cyborg grabbed Starfire, Rorschach grabbed hold of Cyborg and Beast Boy changed into a Woolly Mammoth and wrapped his trunk around the Techno-mage as the chain of Titans began to be pulled in. The centre of the suction being Mumbo's top hat.

One by one the group were pulled in and they plummeted down a spiralling abyss.

Robin's grip on Raven slackened and she fell far and far from the other five.

Everything went black before Mumbo spoke "This'll teach you not to heckle the headliner. Presto Change-o.", a spotlight came on and Raven looked down at her now white rabbit body "Super.", she looked up at the intense light, she used one of her new long ears to shield her eyes "This can't be for real, it's just one of Mumbo's illusion."

"Well, well," said a new voice, the blue witch bunny turned to see a walking playing card, a jack of hearts in fact "look what the hat dragged in."

"Um," Raven asked "Who are you?", the card flipped and its voice changed to a more cheerful tone "I'm Any-Card, you know "pick and card, any card"?"

"Uh huh, where am I?"

"You're inside Mumbo's hat."

"And I'm a rabbit why?" Any-Card flipped again return to his negative tone "Do you always ask such stupid questions?"

"That's it I'm out of here, Azarath Metrion Zinthos." However instead of her intention, her ear tied themselves in a knot and flipped herself over. Any-Card spoke again "Your magic won't work, Mumbo's the only magician in here, the rest of us are just for tricks.", Raven struggled to untie her ears before using her large foot "I'm nobody's prop." Her ears snapped free and she fell over on her back "So, how do I get out."

"I can't tell you that," Mumbo said as a massive gloved hand appeared "a magician never reveals his secrets."

"The hand!" Any-Card yelled "Scram!" Raven tried to run, but the hand grabbed her by the ears, she looked up annoyed "If you're really so amazing, Mumbo, what do you need me for?"

"You're going to be my assistant for the big show tonight."

"I'm not helping you with your stupid magic tricks."

"Silly rabbit, you don't have a choice, my hat my rules." He pulled her out.

The other five Titans wondered down a street filled with stage theatres and posters of Mumbo façade, Beast Boy spoke "I knew Mumbo had a big head, but I never realised he had such a big hat."

"I don't think it's that big," Cyborg said and the group stop next to one of the theatre entrances "this is third time we've passed that theatre."

"This realm must be one of the lesser Far Lands.", they looked at the Techno-mage as he explained "Worlds created by the collective imagination of all life. The three largest and most powerful are, the Dreaming, Hell and Faerie. If I had to guess about passing the theatre trice, there's a spatial chain spell added to it, the same piece of space multiplied indefinably in a chain, very complicated to perform."

"If that's so," Robin said "then we should split up and search the theatres with different design, Raven must be in one of them." A light came on and they all looked up a flashing sign read 'Tonight Only the Amazing Mumbo and his new assistant Raven.'

"That'll do." Cyborg said.

"A little too convenient don't you think?" Rorschach commented.

"It's our only lead," Robin said "Titans Go!" they all ran into the theatre and everything became black.

A light switch on and the group found themselves on a massive table.

"Raven?" Robin called.

"Robin!" they heard back. Starfire looked around "The Mumbo has made you invisible?"

"Up here.", they all looked up to see a white rabbit dress in a blue clock, standing within a hanging cage, Beast Boy tilted his head "Uh, why does that rabbit sound like Raven?"

"Because I am Raven." She responded, Starfire flew up to get a closer look "Oh you look so cute!" Raven growled at the Tamaranean. Rorschach rubbed his chin "If I had to guess, it's some form of transfiguration spell."

"You actually believe Mumbo could really turn me into a rabbit?" Raven said "It's probably just an illusion."

"I wouldn't be so sceptical, Giovanni Zatara, and Sargon the Sorcerer were, powerful magic users with stage magician themes, not to mention Zatara's daughter Zatanna is a powerful sorceress and highly regarded stage magician herself, granted their Homo Magi, but still it's not farfetched to believe Mumbo is at their levels of skill."

"We'll get you out of there." Robin said. Starfire charged a Starbolt on the end of her finger and shot the lock off the cage, Raven opened the door, but before she could escape it Mumbo's voice echoed out "Sorry no sneak previews, you'll have to wait for tonight's show like everyone else." A massive white gloved appeared and grabbed Raven. Another glove with a top hat appeared. Starfire charged but the little finger of one of gloves shot out a beam of magic energy at her, chains and a massive weight appeared and latched around her legs dragging her down fast, she crashed into the table creating a carter.

Once Robin saw Starfire climbing out unharmed her turn to the gloves and hat "Give us our friend back.", but the gloves did not heed the demand "Now you see her." Mumbo said before the glove put Raven into the hat and pulled out a wand "Now you don't." Showing the hat to be empty "Ta-da, nothing in my hat."

"Let me get this straight," Cyborg said "we're inside Mumbo's hat, and Raven's inside Mumbo's hat, inside Mumbo's hat!" he clutched his head groaning as Beast Boy spoke clutching his "Dude, your making my brain hurt."

"Magic." Rorschach said waving it off.

Mumbo spoke again "Just to prove there are no hard feeling for crashing my rehearsal," the hat and glove disappeared in a puff of smoke and the light switched off "I'll show you I am the bigger man."

Load stomping shook the table, the five looked up as a giant Mumbo walked up to them, Robin scowled "The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Titans get that hat.", Starfire flew up fast, Beast Boy changed into a Pterodactyl and followed while Robin fired off his grapple hook.

Left on the table Cyborg and Rorschach flinched as Mumbo brought his hand down and squashed them. Cyborg fired his sonic cannon hurting Mumbo, who held his hand before being punched back by Starfire.

Robin climbed to the brim of the hat and taking a Bird-a-rang sliced into it. Instead of Raven a flock of doves flew out and pushed the Boy Wonder off the hat. Starfire quickly flew and caught him.

Beast Boy flew in and grabbed the top of the hat. Trying to pull it off it transformed into a cannon and the changeling flew into it. The hat cannon fired and Beast Boy, transformed back to normal flew straight towards the others. A game show spinning wheel appeared, the changeling landed on it and began to revolve him round fast.

Cyborg turned around to face the turquoise wizard "You may be living large," he armed his sonic cannon "but this'll cut you down to size." And fired a succession of shots. Starfire shot of a number of Starbolts. Mumbo stumbled back and fell into an orchestra pit.

Rorschach having just recovered from the squash and saw this looked at the Tamamerean "Even when tiny you still knock a bloke for six.", she giggle.

Mumbo climbed back onto the stage "Pesky powers," he pointed his wand at them "I know just the trick to take care of you.", the four Titans disappeared as the wheel with Beast Boy finally stopped "Hey!" the changeling yelled "What did you do with them."

The magician brought forth four cups and moved them about at random. Beast Boy eyes darted as he caught glimpses of the four Titans. Mumbo stopped "Tell you what I'm going to do. Guess which Titan is under here and I'll give you your little friend back."

"Um, Cyborg, wait, Rorschach, no Starfire, no Robin!"

"You're only half right, Presto Change-o." He lifted the first cupped showed Robin as monkey "What the?" the Boy Wonder chimp said before the Turquoise Wizard made another spell "Hocus Pocus." Starfire as a tiger cub stood under the second, she gasped.

"Abracadabra." The third cup came up and Rorschach in dog form stood there "Gordon Bennett." He said feeling his muzzle.

"Alakazam." The final cupped revealed Cyborg now a bear with a pink tutu "This is not happening." The mechanical bear jock wailed.

Beast Boy laughed "Oh yeah, what you going to do to me? I already turn into animals.", the turquoise wizard clicked his fingers turning Beast Boy into a succession of different animals, the changeling simply turned back to his normal form. Mumbo rubbed his chin "Good point." He grinned "Mumbo Jumbo." Smoke covered Beast Boy and revealed an ornate green lamp.

The magician looked down smugly "Well Titanimals, let's see you try to stop me now. On with the show!" he disappeared in a puff of smoke laughing. Everything became black.

The Titans stumbled about in the darkness, until Starfire cried out in pain.

"Sorry Star," Robin said "I think I stepped on your foot."

"I believe it was my, tail."

"Yo Lamp Boy," Cyborg called "turn on the light.", Beast Boy illuminated the room and Cyborg looked down at the tutu he wore "Oh man, I can take losing a fight, but this is just mean." He threw the garment off, only for a new one to appear, the technical bear jock began to remove a massive succession of tutus as the other three animals talked, with Starfire first to speak "How is Mumbo able to change us into animals?", Robin responded "Mumbo's magic must be more powerful in here.", Rorschach nodded as the Chimp Wonder continued "Who knows what other tricks he has up his sleeves." He sat back on his tail and put his fists, including his prehensile feet, into his palms "We've got to find Raven and get out of here."

Cyborg ran out of energy, a small mountain of Tutus piled up behind the Titans and another one appeared around his waist, he growled "Wait till I get me claws on Mumbo, did I just say claws?"

Starfire began scratching her ear "Be thankfully you do not have the fleas."

"Watch where you're scratching Starfire," Rorschach backing away, then he face-palmed "Gordon Bennett I feel like I'm in a Warner Brother's cartoon."

Beast Boy transformed into a candle stick telephone and rang, Cyborg picked him up took off the ear piece and spoke "Uh, hello?"

"Hello?" the changeling shouted in a tinny voice, "What have you got to complain about, I'm a lamp! What's wrong with begin an animal anyway? At least you guys have leg, I can even move! And do you have any idea how hot a light bulb gets…", Cyborg put the ear piece back into place "Well at least we finally found a way to shut him up.", Beast Boy responded by changing into an air horn and blast Cyborg with a wall of sound. The jock flew and crashed into a door, he looked back "Where did that come from?" the other walked up, Starfire carrying Beast Boy as a lamp again and she spoke "Where does it lead to?"

"Probably into another of Mumbo's trick," Robin said reaching for the doorknob "but it's better than stumbling around in the dark." He opened it and they walked through.

The found themselves in the street with the theatre, and Starfire spoke what everyone else thought "We are back where we started.", Cyborg looked down and grimaced "And I'm still wearing a tutu."

Beast Boy morphed into a telephone booth and Starfire put him down, again he rang. Cyborg back away, so the other three did a round of Rock Paper Scissors. Both Starfire and Rorschach played scissors and Robin played paper. Defeated the Chimp Wonder walked to Beast Boy and took the earpiece out so the changeling could speak "So what does the Great Bluedini want with Raven anyway?"

"No idea," Robin said as a siren wailed and came closer and Robin leaned out "but right now we've got bigger things to deal with."

From the far end of the street a white van can speeding out and slid to a stop, the back doors opened and an army of Mickey Mouse gloves, complete with the four fingers, jumped out and approached the Titans, Beast Boy screamed "Killer gloves!"

"I'm go to have to put you on hold." Robin said before throwing something from his belt, he thought he threw a Bird-a-rang, instead it turned out to a banana which fell short. The gloves became fist and punched the Chimp Wonder back far.

Starfire surrounded jumped but flew to the ground, landing on all fours, before charging her Starbolt, but instead she coughed out a Star-hairball, which a glove flicked away with ease much the Tamaranean cat's confusion "I cannot fly, and my Starbolts are, furry."

Cyborg walked up "At least Mumbo left me with my sonic cannon.", he armed it but a flag with the word 'Bang' came out "Bang? Oh dang." a glove slammed into him and they both into Beast Boy "Hey," he shouted "let me help, I can crank call them!"

Rorschach looked around 'Mumbo nullified our powers,' he looked to his hands 'does that mean,' he called forth his magic, but he felt nothing, no magic within him, he put his hand to his face 'oh no!', Starfire spoke bring him out of his moment of depression "How are we to stop them?" Robin scowled and spoke "We fight hand to hand."

Raven sat in her cage backstage and bound in a straightjacket "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." She cried, her Ajna diamond glowed but her magic dissipated. Mumbo called from the other side of the room "Try Abracadabra."

"Abracadabra.", the diamond glowed and a multitude of yellow flower appeared filling the cage. Mumbo took one and squirted water at Raven clearing the cage. He laughed loudly "That gag never gets old."

Raven spat water out of her mouth and shook herself dry. Mumbo pulled out a white handkerchief and placed it in his hand "Here," he pulled the cloth away revealing a little yellow bird "a peace offering."

"You pulled that out of you sleeve."

"Must you over analysis anything?" he put the bird under his hat, ripped off his sleeves and capped his hand together, "Why can you just sit back and enjoy the show?" parting his hand he revealed two more yellow birds that fluttered away.

"Because," Raven said "it isn't real. Your act, this hat, it's all smoke and mirrors. You've probably just hypnotised me into thinking I'm a rabbit, and when I get home my noise will twitch every time a bell rings."

Mumbo pondered for a moment, his sleeves grew back from his tailcoat "That would be an interesting trick, but no."

"As soon as I figure out how you're creating this illusion, your powers will be gone."

"Knowing how the tricks work doesn't make them less real" Mumbo said "If you look like a rabbit, and hop like a rabbit, then guess what kid, you're really a rabbit." He pulled out one of Raven's whiskers, to which she uttered "Ow!" before looking at the turquoise wizard as he concluded "For real.", her eyes widened 'Rorschach was right.'

Meanwhile the four Titans fought the gloves.

Starfire pounced on one and bit into it. Another glove made a ball of yawn appear which Starfire instinctually started playing with before more gloves surrounded and chased her "I do not like being a cat in his hat!"

Cyborg struggled in the grip of a glove, it pushed it thumb down and flicked the mechanical jock bear.

Rorschach persuaded one into a game of Rock Paper Scissors, he played scissors but the glove played stone, which as a fist punched the Techno-mage dog back.

Beast Boy suffered arguably the worst treatment, being thrown around from one glove to the next. He changed into an acoustic megaphone "Guys, I could use a hand here.", the glove gave him a round of applauds.

The gloves then pushed them all into the white van, Cyborg went in last "We're tapped in a hat being manhandled by gloves what next?"

Mumbo, in the form of a fortune teller machine appeared "What next you say? I see a future for you in showbiz. A bright but very short future. Mumbo Jumbo." He disappeared in a puff of smoke, followed by the Titans.

Backstage the Titans inside the gloves entered and stop next to Raven, still in her cage. Mumbo appeared before them "You know what they say, if you can't beat Mumbo, join Mumbo." His head increased in size dwarfing the team. A stagehand, a Muppet Mumbo walked past "Two minutes to show time mister amazing. You're great I love you.", Mumbo's head exploded into confetti.

Robin struggled to get free "We're not going to be a part of your show.", Mumbo's head floated down and re-joined his body "Oh I think you will, what I plan for you makes me show happy I feel like singing. Maestro?", a piano started to play as Mumbo began "Five six seven eight."

The Titans found themselves free from the gloves so charged toward to magician, but he stopped them in mid-air and began singing.

"Don't bother getting up, you're in my control,

No way for you to fuss and fight,

I've taken all your powers, so luck you,

You will be in my show tonight,

You think you can defeat me? Oh how very droll,

Well Titans one thing you should know,

I am the one with magic powers round here,

I am the one who runs the show,

I am the master of ceremonies,

So let me set you straight,

With just a wave of my magic wand I'm master of your fate,

With just some Hocus Pocus, and sleight of hand,

You all are under my command,

Put them in their cages, keep them all apart,"

The Muppet stagehand appeared "Places everybody, the show about to start", the gloves sang the chorus as the Titans, all in cages, were put into place.

"He is the master of ceremonies,

So let him set you straight,

With just a wave of his magic he's master of your fate,

Master of your fate,

Master of your fate,

Master of your fate,"

Mumbo finished the song.

"Now for the greatest grand finale,

And the reason why you're here,

Tonight I will me the Titans disappear,

Forever."

The orchestra began, the theatre filled with Mumbo lookalikes, as the magician himself walked on stage with a suitcase. He cleared his throat clicked a button on the suitcase, legs appearing from the bottom and sign saying 'The Grand Finale.', before opening the case and another Mumbo climbed out with another suitcase saying 'Or can the Titanimals bring down the hat.', before that suitcase opened and the two disappeared in a puff of smoke. The audience cheered.

Two members in a balcony box had an interjection, one elbowed the other "What do you get when you cross a magician with a camera?", the other held up a wand and said "Hocus Focus." And laughed as his friend's head became an old-fashioned camera.

Mumbo walked out from the curtains and grabbed a microphone "Ladies and Gentleman, Mumbos of all ages. We have a really great show for you tonight."

Underneath the stage the six Titans sat in their cages considering options.

"We have to stop the show before the finale," Robin said "or else it curtains for us."

"Perhaps," Starfire said before starting to scratch her ear "if we work together we can find a way to defeat him."

Raven cut in "Mumbo's taken our powers. He's turns us into furry creature and a lamp. How can we defeat him when he's holding all the cards?"

"Powers or no powers," Robin said "we're still the Titans, what we've got to do is…", music and applauds cut him off as Cyborg looked out "The show is starting!"

A trap door opened as Mumbo spoke out and a hook and rope lowered "Now, put your hands together, for Borgy, the Magnificent Dance Cy-Bear."

"And I'm the opening act!" the technical jock bear said before his cage got lifted onto the stage.

On the stage Cyborg looked to Mumbo standing in the wings "Care to dance?"

"All I care is kicking you're…" Mumbo waved his wand at him and Cyborg began to dance, including a jump and three-hundred and sixty degree twirled as Mumbo controlled him. The music changed and a Russian Cossack costume appeared on Cyborg who continued dancing against his will.

"We could sneak up behind the Mumbo and…" Starfire began, but Beast Boy in the form of a ticker tape machine spelled out a response, Robin took hold of the tape and read aloud "Mumbo's got eyes in the back of his hat, Beast Boy's right." Robin suddenly got pulled up as Beast Boy spelled out 'Thank you.' And Cyborg returned.

"Robin!" Starfire cried out before taking the ticker tape "What, happened?" she read out.

Cyborg panted out his response "He made me do a jig", Starfire gasped "That madman must be stopped. Please, what is a jig?"

Joshua rolled his eyes "He means a dance Starfire. But that's beside the point."

Robin stood on the stage as Mumbo step out beside the Chimp Wonder "And now for the comedy potion of our show!", Robin reached for his belt and pulled out two bananas "We'll see who's laughing now." He squeezed them and the bananas shot out into Mumbo's eyes.

Both Robin and the audience laughed before Mumbo wiped the fruit off and materialised a busker organ, the turquoise wizard cranked the handle and a pair of symbols appeared in Robin's hands.

Almost immediately the audience burst into an uproar and threw rotten fruit and vegetables. One man even threw a chicken knocking Robin over.

The Chimp Wonder looked at and shrieked as a sandbag weight almost landed on him. As he ran more things of increasing weight landed on the stage. A piano, the white van, a coach bus. As Robin reached the wings and load fog horn sounded. The Chimp Wonder turned around as an ocean liner landed on stage and turned into a flock of doves.

The rope lowered Robin's cage "Any ideas?"

"Still working on it." Cyborg said before the hook took hold of Starfire's cage and took her up. Robin stood up as this happened.

The Tamaranean cat sat on a stool. Mumbo handed his hat to a Mumbo stage girl and climbed into Starfire's mouth. Once inside her, the cat felt sick. Then Mumbo replaced the stool siting on all fours "Ta-da."

Beast Boy in the form of an old-fashioned, hand crank record player yelled out "I got it!"

Cyborg spoke "It can't involve driving a tank or unleashing magician eating sharks", Rorschach leaned over and cranked the handle to hear Beast Boy's response "I don't go it.", Joshua slammed his gloved paw onto his forehead.

The trap door opened and the hook swapped Starfire with Beast Boy who changed into a flag with 'Help.' On it.

Up on the stage Mumbo balanced four spinning plates, one of them green and on his nose.

One by one the white plates fell and shattered, leaving Beast Boy as the last.

"Perhaps," Rorschach said rubbing his chin "we could…"

Beast Boy back as a lamp landed and hook took the Techno-mage up.

The fedora wearing hound sat at the top of a slide which ended with a ring of fire. Mumbo stood at the bottom of the slide and called up "Go Rover."

"Don't you Rover me you…" Mumbo clapped his hand and Rorschach jumped down the slid and through the flaming hoop before landing on the stage shaking.

"Five acts down," Robin groaned "and one to go. We don't have much time before the finale."

"Raven," Starfire turned to the blue witch bunny "you are the Mumbo's assistant. Surely you must know some of his secrets."

"He never told me anything."

Rorschach re-entered the space and the hook pulled Raven. The Techno-mage dog sighed "On second thoughts my idea wouldn't have worked."

"Come on Titans." Robin said "Think!"

Up on the stage, Raven stood inside a box. One of the Mumbo show girls closed the three doors only leaving the rabbit's face exposed.

Mumbo walked up "As you can see there is no way out." The magician pulled out his wand and produced a large cloth covering Raven. Pulling it way the box with Raven inside now rested in three separate pieces as Mumbo spoke "My assistants seems to have worried her head off." His own head fell as well. The body's hands patted the table and touched Raven's face, picked the box with her head up and put it on his neck. Another wave of the wand and Raven got replaced by Mumbo's head. The magician bowed and the curtains fell.

The audience cheered.

Mumbo took his hat off and walked backstage as two stagehands took the table away. The magician reached into the hat and pulled Raven out. The blue witch bunny spoke "Why put me back together when you just going to finish me off?"

"Oh I need you in one piece for the finale." The turquoise wizard said before putting Raven into her cage. With her returned underneath the stage Mumbo walked to his dressing room and two playing cards began to top up his makeup.

The Muppet Mumbo appeared and in a bit of a panic "People hurry, the finale's up next and we're on in five."

Cyborg lowered his head "You heard the man five minutes till poof."

"There's got to be something we're not seeing." Robin said.

Beast Boy once again a candle stick telephone rang and the Chimp Wonder took of the ear piece "Maybe this is more of Mumbo's Mumbo Jumbo, just a bit trick.", Starfire lowered her head "It all seems awfully real to me."

"Starfire's correct," Rorschach said "even if it is just a trick, his magic's real and he nearly as psychotic as the Joker, a bad combination and we're stuck in the middle performing this bad show."

"But," Raven said with a spark of inspiration "that doesn't mean we can't perform an even bigger trick," she turned to the Chimp Wonder "Robin, can you tail reach those cans of paint?"

"Sure."

The blue witch bunny turned to the green lamp "Beast Boy can you be a paintbrush?", as the changeling changed in response as Rorschach nodded "I think I see what you have in mind. As they use to on the Sooty Show, Izzy wizzy, let's get busy."

The spotlight landed on Mumbo and the crowd went wild. The magician smiled and blow kisses at them "Thank you, thank you, you've been a great audience. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for-the grand finale! My greatest trick ever!" the orchestra swelled as the turquoise wizard continued "I present to you, for the last time anywhere. The Teen Titans!" the curtains came up, trapdoors opened and the cages came up.

The audience gasped and Mumbo looked around, and saw the empty cages. The audience started booing and heckling as Mumbo walked closer to the cages "I don't understand, they were here just a second ago." he leaned down to the cage that once held Raven, opened it and peered closer.

The painted Raven opened her eyes and raise her foot "Alakazam!"

Outside the hat, a blue booted foot swiftly existed the hat and kicked Mumbo in the face. The magician let go of the hat and fell back onto the bank floor.

A tornado emerged from the hat and arched down to the floor, the Titans, all humanoid again stood there.

"Alright!" Cyborg said inspecting himself "I am back!" he looked to Mumbo "With a vengeance."

Raven meanwhile took her hood off and checked for ears.

Rorschach lowered his head and his mask shape changed to more sorrowful one.

Mumbo focused more on Cyborg's comment, picked up the hat and began to run off as a police car sound outside.

Robin took a bird-a-rang from his belt, smiled to them back and threw it knocking Mumbo down as the police arrived.

Beast Boy cheered "Yes, you have no bananas."

Mumbo heard cheering and looked down at his hat. The audience jumped with joy as the two in box spoke "That was the greatest trick ever." One said, his friend waved it off "Ah it was old hat." The two laughed.

Raven's magic covered the hat and it flew into her hands "We're going to make sure you don't have any encore performances."

Mumbo in the arms of the police walked up "But, my magic, how did you escape?"

"I had a better trick up my sleeve."

"I got to know. Come on kid, just between us. Tell me what you did."

"A magician never reveals her secret." The blue witch said as she twirled the top hat onto her head.

Mumbo frowned as the police took him away.

Raven and Starfire sat in the corner of the living room watching Rorschach meditate, a worried face across the Tamaranean's face.

The doors opened and the boys walked in and saw the techno-mage sitting before the window, Beast Boy spoke first "Dude, he should know it time for the movie."

"Please," Starfire said "do not wake Friend Rorschach, he is in the intense state of meditating."

"He's been like this for hours." Raven commented, "He was here when I walked in to meditate and it's been half an hour since I finished."

Robin frowned "Now you mention it he seemed very silent after Mumbo was taken in, he avoided us since then."

Cyborg narrowed his eye "Something wrong with him?"

"He told me a few weeks ago he'd been having problems," Raven said "maybe they've gotten worse."

"Perhaps," Starfire said "I know what is wrong with our friend, his other future self said he had lost his magic in a fight with the Mumbo."

"Star," Robin said "we all lost our powers when we were in Mumbo's hat, but they came back.", Starfire's head lowered "But perhaps Friend Rorschach has not had his return."

"Like I said, powers or no powers we're still the Titans."

"That may be true Robin," Rorschach called getting everyone's attention as he stood up "but when you've had magic for five years of your life, trained to improve it and let it become very much a part of you, and it disappears so easily, I feel like a piece of my soul is missing."

Starfire flew over and hugged her friend, Rorschach sighed lowered his head "I need to leave, just for a short time.", Starfire looked at him "You are going to visit the Zatanna?"

"No, just to my parents, knowing what you said Zatanna isn't going to be any help, my magic is unique and don't think any sorcerer can help me. I just want to make sure that my families safe for little while before I try and sort out my magic.", Starfire nodded and smiled weakly and let go. Rorschach looked at his friend "Before I leave for the evening I've got something to show you all."

Down in the garage Rorschach flicked the lights on, the T-Car and the R-Cycle became visible and an object under a tarpaulin stood there. Cyborg grinned "Finished the Vincent didn't you."

"Only this morning, just before we got the call about Mumbo in fact.", the magicless Techno-mage walked up and removed the tarpaulin. The Vincent or sometimes V-Cycle as Rorschach and Cyborg nicknamed it stood there complete.

The components of the plasma turbine engine, the chain drive and exhaust pipes exposed in all their beauty. The front number plate on the mudguard, which read 6RHV115. A massive drum headlight. Every part polished to perfection and in the light they gleamed. The motorcycle looked very much from the nineteen-thirties.

Robin whistled, Beast Boy mouth watered, Raven stared with indifference, Starfire happily gasped and capped her hands, and Cyborg grinned but titled his head "I thought it was a Black Shadow?"

"There were about sixteen so called White Shadows made with just plain aluminium, and yes I say it the British way, and no paint, but I went for the full white paintwork with the crankcase." He said touching it, "By the way, do you like the symbol I've made?" A lower case r, with a dot near the bottom, mirrored so it looked like a pair of cartoon eyes.

Robin nodded "Nice, at the very least it's different to mine." Pointing his yellow R on his suit.

"Dude," Beast Boy said "I need a symbol, Robin's got his yellow R and Rorschach you got that…"

"Well," Rorschach said walking over to his work beach "Try experimenting with your Superhero name initials, BB." He removed his hat and picked up an open face helmet complete with aviator goggles on the top and put it on. He took his hat and put it in the box underneath the rear number plate.

"You off then?" Cyborg said "Want me to get the door?", Rorschach nodded and the mechanical jock walked to the door switch and clicked it open.

Rorschach straddled the Vincent and kicked the stands up "I recommend covering your ears, this thing is as load as the original Vincent Black Shadow.", he stomped on the kick start and the motorcycle roared into life. The rumble echoed through the room.

"Glorious," Starfire said "what wonderful music it sings.", Rorschach chuckled "If you need me for help just call, I just need some time away to think.", with that he kicked the stand up, put the bike in gear, twisted the throttle and off he went into the night.

Cyborg closed the door and turned to the other "Think he'll be okay?"

"Hope he will." Robin said "Even if we don't breakup, without a founding member things will feel, odd", Starfire nodded "Xhal, please protect our friend."

Author's Note

You cannot imagine the amount of fun I have writing this chapter. Bunny Raven is one of my favourite episodes, I don't exactly know why, it's just so much fun.
