(Thanks for Double RJ for giving me this idea, and thank goodness for a matching prompt...

What is it with me and my characters suffering abuse! I realized this half way through... I am one sadistic teen...)

Robin looked at the police chief pleadingly. "Why?" He finally asked. The police chief looked past the mirror window. Four people were sitting there- Shimmer (who looked very pissed off), Fang (Who was barely conscious), Billy Numerous (Who was restrained to the table and was very violently glaring and struggling to get at Fang), and Kitten. Kitten was trying to make herself as small as possible and was looking at the ground. "They won't talk to us. I figure they might talk to you though." The chief explained.

Robin furrowed his brow. "What's wrong with Kitten?" He asked. "No idea, but I'll give you a hint." The police chief leaned forward and whispered into Robin's ear, "I've seen girls be like that when they are in the room with their abuser." Robin's eyes went wide. "Problem is, who?" Robin said aloud. "That's what you will find out."

Robin walked into the room. Billy immediately stopped struggling and said, "Hi, Birdie!" Robin rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, I got the case report from the chief." "Could you hurry this up? Kyd can't teleport in here, and I have to kick the Private's ass at video games!" Shimmer whined. "Shut up, twerp." Fang grumbled. "Enough." Robin said. "All they got is that there is a really ticked off Billy, Kitten was in hysterics, Fang was unconscious, and Shimmer was standing there in shock. Tell me what happened." Robin looked over at Kitten and said, "And judging by the way Kitten looks, I am making a really bad assumption right now."

"Okay! We'll tell." Shimmer said, throwing up her (hand-cuffed) hands. "It isn't as bad as you think. Just... well..." Shimmer glared at Fang, "It's all spider head's fault." Robin leaned back. "Alright. Start talking."

Shimmer bit her lip and thought for a second. "Well, it all started when me and Kitten decided to go shopping."

Shimmer showed off a green dress to Kitten. "What do you think?" Kitten looked back at it and smiled. "I'd prefer it in pink... but it would really nice on you." Kitten said. "Cool, I'm gonna try it on." Shimmer ran into the dressing room.

Kitten heard a scream and spun around to be right face to face to Fang.

At this point, Kitten looked like she would rather be anywhere but here. She shot a deadly glare at Fang, and he threw up his arms in protest. "Babe, all I wanted to do was talk." "The rest of the story disproves that. And call my girlfriend 'babe' again and I will snap off all your legs." Billy growled, pulling against the restraints again. "Keep going, Kitten. Ignore them." Shimmer said, kicking both of the men under the table.

Kitten swallowed nervously. "Hi Fang." She said. "Hey Kitten. I wanna talk." Fang said. "Forget it. I'm busy right now." Kitten was now nervously backing away.

Fang grabbed her arm. "Well, let me open a time in your schedule, then." He picked her up and began running off.

Shimmer ran out of the changing room when she heard Kitten scream. "Put me down, Fang!" She screeched, attempting to whack him away. Shimmer popped open her communicator. "Billy, we got trouble. Kitten's being kidnapped! By Fang!"

Billy was, at the moment, raiding a bank with See-More, Gizmo, Mammoth, and Kyd Wykkyd. When he got the message, he went pale. "Gotta go, guys! See you back at base!" He regrouped and took off. "Billy! We're in the middle of a heist, dude!" See-More said, waving his arms wildly.

Billy didn't listen.

"You left a heist." Robin said, his voice revealing that he didn't believe it. "Yeah." Billy said, shrugging. "And See-More is going to be pissed about it later." Shimmer said, grinning. "Shut up, Shimmer. You were supposed to go too." Kitten pointed out.

Shimmer pouted. "Just... keep going with what happened."

Kitten was dropped on the top of an abandoned building. "You sick bastard, you kidnapped me!" She slapped him. Fang gripped his cheek in shock. "Get away from me. I have a boyfriend now. And I'm calling him." Kitten held up her communicator. What she didn't expect was to have Fang spit venom at it and it shattered.

Kitten yelped and her eyes were very wide.

Now Robin was shooting dirty looks at Fang along with the rest of the villains. Fang glared back and snapped, "What?" "We have you on a kidnapping charge now." Fang rolled his spider eyes. "She wanted to go." Kitten turned and slapped him. "Hey, none of that!" Robin said, attempting to keep the peace in the room.

Shimmer pretended to gag. "I think we got a case of psycho ex-boyfriend." She said. "I agree, but I need to know what happened." Robin said. "I'll tell the next part then." Billy said.

Billy landed on the roof. He shuffled behind a wall, and peered around. Kitten was backing away from Fang, shaking her head no. "Go... go away. I don't like you." She said. "Come on, Kit, lets just talk..." Kitten slapped his hand away. "You don't want to talk, you want to pretend like nothing happened, and make out with me again. Well guess what." She flipped him off. "F***. You."

Fang exploded. He grabbed Kitten and swung her into the ground. Shimmer chose that moment to reappear and she stood there, shocked. "What... what are you doing to her?" She shrieked in fear. "She needs to learn a lesson." He growled, kicking her in the ribs.

Billy charged at that moment. Duplicating into three, he tackled Fang. "DON'T TOUCH MY GIRLFRIEND!" He screamed.

Shimmer watch, horrified, as Billy pounded Fang. Billy had lost control.

The cops arrived about ten minutes later. It took several to pull him away.

Robin sighed. "That checks out with the injuries inflicted on Kitten. And my gut says you aren't lying." "I can say they are." Fang growled. "The guy just went wild on me." Kitten shot him a murderous glance. "FANG! You don't know how Billy feels about abuse. He has pretty strong feelings about it, and he won't ever let you hurt me again."

Fang spat harmless venom angrily. He grumbled something that Robin didn't hear, but Billy did, and he began struggling in earnest, screaming curses. Robin left the room and said to the police chief, "Fang was trying to hurt Kitten, Billy was only trying to protect her. Shimmer was just wrong place, wrong time." The chief nodded. "I'll have someone try to sedate Billy."

He grabbed Robin's arm. "Thanks. They wouldn't talk to us at all." Robin cocked his head to the side. "Why?" He asked. The chief chuckled. "Simple. They fear adults." He looked at the room. "I have been seeing Billy Numerous in here before he was fourteen. Fang started at nine, and I know Shimmer was doing time by the time she was eleven. Kitten... well... we both know the first time we saw her in here, after prom."

He looked Robin right in the eyes. "Teenage criminals usually have very little fear, but most fear two things: Betrayal from a friend... and any adults." Robin nodded. "I understand, Chief."

Robin left that day slightly wiser- and more harsh when it came to beating up Fang.

The fear wasn't too evident in the story itself, so I added the last part in.

I came upon the thought that several of my friends remind me of the Teenage Syndicate members. Two of them could be a cross between Billy Numerous and Private Hive, my closet older girl friend is The Ravager, except a lot shorter, another girl could be either Kitten or Shimmer... probably Kitten.

… That is very, very sad I compare my closest friends to criminals. Very sad.

I apologize for the lack of updates. But now I'll be able to update every other day. Thank goodness.

Bye byes! Remember to review!
