A late Titan Halloween
(A/N: I know I'm late and Halloween was days ago but I just wanted to drop this. It's a little alternate timeline chapter. I hope you enjoy it ?)
"There's a lot of junk here. We need to get rid of it. It's taking too much space," Robin said then let out a loud sneeze, "the dust..."
He sneezed again.
"Ok, chill Robin. You're not the only one here," Raven said.
They were in the storage room. There were so much machines and old, unused stuff inside.
Cyborg smiled in excitement, "Look at these beautiful LED lights. We need to hang them up for Christmas. We can't throw them all away..."
"Can you relax? Halloween was two days ago. You literally asked Crystal and I to cast a spell on you so you'd look like the real Frankenstein's monster," Raven said.
"I am calm. Some people start putting up Christmas decorations in August," Cyborg defended.
"I've never seen that. And even if those people exist, you and them are extremely annoying. Christmas is at the end of December. Let holidays come and go when it's their time. You don't see me and Raven running around scaring people out of their minds anymore, do you?" Crystal returned.
"More like traumatizing people," Robin said with a shiver.
He flashed back to two days ago when he was taking a shower and an interdimensional portal opened in the tub and demons poured out. It reminded him of the time he spent in Trefaniel's domain.
He screamed, holding his towel when Raven and Crystal popped up in front of him and closed the portal, the demons vanished.
They laughed at his fright.
"I thought you said Batman taught you to not be afraid of anything," Raven said, bringing Robin out from his thoughts.
He rolled his eyes.
"Whoa, look guys. It's one of them old cameras," Beast Boy said calling everyone's attention to himself.
"Ooh and perfectly good film here too," Cyborg stated, "let's have a mini picture day!"
"Oh oh," Raven and Crystal chorused at the same time with Cyborg's picture day announcement.
"What is it now?" Beast Boy groaned.
"Yeah, tell us the reason we shouldn't have fun," Cyborg added sarcastically.
"Robin, do you know anything about the camera?" Crystal asked.
He shrugged, "Zatanna said I should keep it. She didn't say anything else."
"See... It's harmless. Can we have fun now?" Cyborg asked.
"We have training all afternoon. I'll only allow one pic each," Robin replied. Cyborg and Beast Boy simply groaned a response.
They went outside and Robin held the camera and took a picture of everyone himself. Crystal had taken his picture.
"Come on, it's not the enough!" Starfire complained.
"To the training room, all of you! You can develop the film later," Robin ordered.
They went back into the tower. Robin dropped the camera on the TV shelf and followed the others to the training room.
They finished training at 6pm. Cyborg ordered pizza and everyone went to sleep. Except Robin who stayed up at the control panels searching for crime.
He was honestly too tired for a night patrol.
Maybe they were right and they trained too much.
Then again Batman always said there was no such thing as too much training.
He must've dosed off at his desk because when he woke up it was 1am.
His neck hurt. The position he slept in was uncomfortable.
He thought he was imagining things but he wasn't. Someone was in his bed.
He stood up and walked closer to the bed.
Was he dreaming?
He wasn't sure. It felt too real.
Right in front of him, on his bed was himself.
Or rather a clone of him.
Robin backed away in fright, "it's just a dream, just a dream..."
"Can you relax? I'm literally you," the clone said.
"What kind of trick is this?" Robin asked, trying to forget his fear and standing very close to the bed.
"But there can only be one, I'm afraid," the clone announced and Immediately stabbed him in the chest.
Robin gasped, collapsed on the floor and spat out blood, "I thought... I thought... You... Said you were... me. I'd never hurt anyone."
The clone stabbed him again, "well, we both know that's not true."
The clone proceeded to stuff the real Robin's body in the closet and bolted it shut.
Beast Boy, who had passed out while playing Undertale, came to and realized he was starving.
He shut down his personal laptop and headed to the kitchen for a snack.
He found some leftover tofu in the fridge and proceeded to heat it up in the microwave.
As he waited, he heard something scurry behind him.
The microwave dinged.
He placed his meal on the table and sat down to eat. "Maybe I was just imagining things," he said to himself.
He looked up a few seconds later, "bruh."
"Bruh," his clone repeated.
"You're me!"
"That's what's up!" Beast Boy and his clone echoed.
"Let me have some of that tofu man," the clone asked. Beast Boy pushed his plate towards the clone who tasted it, tagged and brought out a salt shaker. He sprinkled some of its contents on the tofu.
"What's that?" Beast Boy asked.
"Special salt, man. Makes it taste so much better," the clone replied and handed the plate back to Beast Boy.
He tasted it, "hmm... It does taste better. What's in it?"
"Well, it's sea salt, paprika, garlic and..."
Beast Boy was currently choking while the clone just kept grinning at him.
"... Aconite. Wolfsbane to you," the clone finished.
Beast Boy collapsed face first into his food.
"Too bad I had to kill you. We could've been good friends," the clone said.
Crystal who had woken up two hours earlier was startled out of her meditation. She felt something come out of her.
It was her demon side.
"The fuck are you trying to pull?!" she lashed out.
"I've been trying to get out of you for years. Thanks to that enchanted camera, I finally have," the succubus said to her.
Before she could react, the succubus dug her claws into her chest repeatedly and ripped her apart.
The next morning, Starfire woke up feeling like something was very wrong.
Then she heard a knock on her door. "Who is that?" she called out and her clone entered.
Starfire immediately burst into an insane laughter and the clone was taken aback.
"You are the me?" Starfire asked, wiping a tear from her eye. The clone nodded.
"Then, we must have the fun!" Starfire let out in elation, "let's go to the Jump City park."
"Ok!" the clone agreed and they both flew to the park.
They both had a long talk about life and everything. Then, out of nowhere, the real Starfire yelled, "I am a Tamarenean princess! I will get you the first!"
Starfire began to stab her clone repeatedly while laughing maniacally.
Children nearby began to cry and their parents shielded them, looking at the scene before them in horror.
Later when the police came to carry her away, Starfire who was covered in blood, was still laughing and ranting about killing the clone first.
Back at the tower, Cyborg moans were heard from Raven's door. Inside, Raven and her clone pulled apart, out of breath and lay down side by side.
"What the hell is going on?" Cyborg muttered and immediately turned around to face his clone who Immediately electrocuted him and pulled out his motherboard.
Clone Cyborg turned around.
"What? Where you expecting some sort of happy ending? The real Titans figure something out and get rid of us? Well, sorry to disappoint you. Life isn't a bed of roses. Happy Late Halloween. Booyah!"
