Robin and Cyborg were sitting lazily on the couch, waiting for the third male titan in the tower. Not taking it any longer, Cyborg shouted,
"BEEEAAASST BOOOY!" He then turned to Robin. "The dude is taking forever!"
"He'd better hurry or he's going to miss out on..." Both the guys highed fived as they declared,
"Boy's night out!" They howled like wolves in celebration. With one more spray of cologne, the green teen entered the living room all polished up, the biggest difference being that his hair was combed down and straight back except for one tiny hair on the back his heads' crown, sticking up like a piece of wheat.
"Nice! Look at you all combed and ready to go." Robin noted. Cyborg smelled the air and added,
"And smelling slightly better than usual."
"So swag. You'll never know what's going to happen on boy's night out!" He yelled, holding up his hand but didn't receive anything back.
"We did that already." Cyborg told him.
"Oh, my bad." When Starfire entered the room and saw Beast Boy, she happily gasped and hugged him while lifting him into the air.
"Beast Boy, you have combed your hairs! Have you plans for this evening?" Escaping her grasp, Beast Boy sided with the other guys.
"No, tonight isn't about plans. We go where the night takes!"
"It's going to be crazy!" Robin yelled in excitement.
"Oh, how exciting! I would very much like to join you!" Robin frowned and started to sweat.
"Oh, well... you see..."
"It's a boys night out." Cyborg and Beast Boy answered for him.
"But I am more than capable of joining with the boy evening of revelry."
"No, no way, uh uh, no girls allowed." Beast Boy denied. Starfire was crestfallen to hear this.
"But why?"
"We don't make the rules, Star. It's just how it is." Cyborg replied. Attempting to save face, Starfire laughed in a fake way with a determined face.
"I have forgotten!" Zipping into the kitchen to drag Raven just as she made some popcorn. Back in the living room, the alien girl continued her bluff. "We are having our own boys night out."
"You mean a girls night out?" Cyborg asked.
"Exactly."
"We are?" Raven questioned, not sure what this is about.
"Yes, and you are not the invited on our night out for the girls." Starfire proclaimed as she kept her arm slung over Raven's shoulders. The boys just scoffed at her.
"Ok."
"Whatevs."
"Gentlemen, shall we?" Robin requested as the boys left howling. The alien princess turned to her friend.
"What is a boys night out?" Starfire asked Raven.
"They hang out, make lame jokes, eat, burp... boy stuff."
"But I can do the making of the jokes and having the gaseous emissions."
"Boys need time to be boys. Without girls."
"But we do not have gender specific rituals on my planet. Tell me, what do females do on a girls night?" She asked confused.
"Uh, I've never been to one, but I can only imagine how horrible it would be. Teddy bears, flowers, bunnies, make up..." The half demon sorceress shuddered from how girly that all sounded.
"But I love the bears, flowers and bunnies." Starfire said.
"In case you forgot, we may be the same gender, but our personalities couldn't be any more far apart. You like sunshine and rainbows, kittens, and anything remotely pink. Does anything part of that stick to me?"
"But how will we do the bonding ritual of females?"
"Star, I wanted to watch a movie tonight. By myself." Sighing in defeat, Starfire stopped floating as she sulked to her room.
"Okay. I am sorry for interrupting your alone night. I guess I will just head to bed early." Now Raven normally would've taken advantage of this opportunity, but feeling the tiniest tinge of guilt, she knew it wasn't going to go away and prevent her from fully enjoying the movie, so why not?
"Fine." Raven conceded in the most flat tone she muster. This perked Starfire right up. "But don't expect me to make this fun."
"Do not worry. I know exactly who will bring the proper amount of fun. We are going to have the night of the girls!" Grabbing hold of the startled Raven again, she flew them to the elevator and proceeded to leave the building.
At the Jump City Juvenile Correctional Vicinity, Jinx was stuck in a hovering laser cage with her entire hands in metallic mittens considering her superpowers, when the lasers were turned off and the mittens clicked before falling off her hands. Jinx was confused when two guards with laser blasters came to tell her,
"You're free. You can go." Wondering who it was this time now that wanted to hire her services, the girl shrugged as she strolled out of the room and when almost out of the building, she was surprised to see who it was.
"Greetings, Jinx." Starfire introduced herself. The metahuman's eyes narrowed from suspicion and anger as she said greatly annoyed,
"My least favorite titans. And here I thought I was hired for a potential job, or at the very least gloated at for being in prison again if it was you."
"Again?" Starfire turned to Raven in concerned confusion.
"Yeah, I come here sometimes to make fun that she's in prison when I'm bored." She explained.
"And I hate her for it."
"Well do not worry, Jinx! We are here to invite you out to a fun night on the town!" This really perplexed the villainess.
"Excuse me?"
"As an expert in being the criminal, and also a female, you could be a great resource for us. Just imagine all the fun you will have! Please oh please say you will join us!" Thinking about the alien's proposal, she shrugged while folding her arms.
"Anything beats hanging in a cell where the toilet is a bucket. Plus, I'm assuming you were the one who bailed me out, so I do owe you I guess."
"Joy! Then let us commence the night of the girls!" Starfire cheered.
The girl's have reached their first destination; an amusement park.
"According to the commercial advertisements, this will be the perfect place for our girls night to commence!" Starfire affirmed with sparkles in her eyes. Just then, a man in a space cat costume with a big glass dome around his head appeared before them and started doing this silly dance.
"Wakka Welcome to Wakkadoodles! The funnest place in the galaxy!"
"Oho, this is indeed the fun!" The Tamaranian laughed as she hugged the glass dome before flying further into the park.
"You really do need my help, don't you?" Jinx asked in an incredulous tone.
"She's as easily entertained as someone a third of her age." Raven told the villainess. Right when it seemed like he was going to try to 'entertain the darker girls, Jinx put some power into her hand as she shoved him away. Stepping on a bat, the costumed man rolled backwards and yelped in fearful surprise as he went and tripped over a counter, thanks to the glass dome providing tipping momentum.
"Heh." Raven gave a single, dry chuckle. But for the titan, it was a good start.
With the boys, they strutted down the street, enjoying their night when they came across a hat store.
"Hat party!" They screamed as they entered the store, and exited it five minutes later, wearing six different kinds on each of their heads.
"Oh man, we look silly, don't we?" Beast Boy laughed.
"And there's no girls around to say otherwise!" Cyborg bellowed in agreement.
"Imagine if Raven were here, she'd be like..." Robin flipped his cape so that he imitated her cloaked look and spoke in a dark tone. "You guys look stupid wearing that many hats." They all laughed when a blast of sound burst out of a store across the street, blowing the various hats off of the titan's hats and them off their feet through the display glass, shattering it. After recovering, they saw that Punk Rocket hi-jacked a musical electronics store and yelled into a mic,
"Jump City, it's time to hear the sounds of chaos, that will demolish the authoritarian rule... of the government!" With a single chord strike, he caused all the windows on the street, and caused every window on the street, building or car, to shatter along with causing the brick and mortar buildings start to crumble as the sound waves shook them on the molecular level.
"I got this!" Beast Boy declared as he transformed into a black mamba snake. In no time flat, he slithered across the street and snuck into the building. Once he managed to sneak past the punk teen and was right behind him, he lunged and transformed into a spider and crawled through his hair. This freaked Punk Rocket out.
"Agh! A spider! Get out you-" Before he could finish his sentence, Robin slammed into his chest thanks to Cyborg throwing him, knocking back to villain hard against the back wall, greatly disorienting him. Taking Punks' guitar, the titan leader smashed it against the ground, saying,
"Sorry Punk Rocket, but your performance has been cancelled." Beast Boy turned back into human and laughed triumphantly.
"Yeah, boy! That's what I'm talking about!"
"Hey guys!" Cyborg cried out to them distressed. They turned to the metallic titan as he lifted up the ruined hats. "He wrecked havoc on our hats!"
"No hats?! Dang it!" Robin cursed as he kicked the confused villain in the face, knocking him out cold.
Obviously, if you want to start an amusement park night right, you start with the biggest attraction, the roller coaster, and what could be more bigger than Jump City's own Pulse Jumper? However, the line was quite long, even for something like a roller coaster, which Starfire was disappointed to see.
"Oh no, the long line will prevent any of the fun!"
"We could just go home." Raven suggested, but Jinx looked at her disapprovingly.
"You are such a drip." At the top of her lungs, she screamed, "There's free kittens in the parking lot!" Pretty much every female that didn't have a child and some men dashed to the outside, drastically shortening the line. The little girls wanted to get one but the parents knew better. "There, I pretty much guaranteed that the next ride will be our turn." The metahuman chuckled totally satisfied in herself.
"Wow, you really know how to bring the fun." The half demon sarcastically stated while rolling her eyes.
"She does indeed. Let us ride the Pulse Jumper!" Getting into the back, Jinx sitting in a row ahead of the titan females. It started with the biggest hill of the coaster, slowly going up, and up, and up some more, until they reached the peak and screamed down the big drop, curving across the banks as they went through a serpentine line feeling their bodies being pushed into the sides. Taking deep left turn back the other way, they then found themselves experiencing a double loop de loop, experiencing their internal organs shift and move around from the G-forces. When they finally made it to the end and the ride halted all the free momentum, they lurched forward, certainly feeling their pulses jumping after all that. "Whoo whoo whoo! Again!" Starfire hollered her requested.
"If you insist." Jinx chuckled mischievously as she touched the outside of the car, letting her pink colored power course through the shell, down the wheels, and spread to the control console for the whole thing. The employee was surprised to see the console spark and short circuit as the part of the coaster that's supposed to be slow did the opposite and shoot the cars down the line like a rocket car, shooting them up the hill and down it at a much faster rate. Everybody was panicking, including Raven internally while Starfire and Jinx screamed with exhilaration and joy from the much more extreme forces on their bodies. When they continued a third time, the cars actually broke off from the track and flew through the air for a solid five seconds before they started to fall at the water. No longer able to take it, Raven used her magic to break the safety bar open and flew out, yelling,
"Azarath Metrione Zinthos!" The cars glowed black as it slowly descended into a stop just above the water, before dropping it on the ground near by. While the riders got out mostly to throw up, Jinx and Starfire staggered out to high five, only to completely miss and fall on their sides, laughing from the extreme rush.
"That... was absolutely crazy fun." The Tamaranean remarked, still feeling her nine stomachs trying to shift back into their proper positions.
"Oh yeah. Certainly the most fun I had in a good while." The villainess sighed, her hair going completely back like there was still strong wind pushing it that way. Floating to the ground, Raven was ticked off at the pink haired metahuman.
"What were you thinking?! You do realize any one of these people could've died, right?"
"Don't be such a drip. With you two around, these people were safe." Jinx tried brushing off the dangerous logic.
"We didn't have to put them through that in the first place." The half demon sorceress objected.
"Starfire wanted a fun girl's night out, and I delivered when she asked for again." Getting up, the alien girl chose a middle ground.
"While I thank you Jinx for indulging on my request, maybe it will be a good thing if we do not endanger anyone else past this point of the night." Jinx soon stood up as well and fixed her hair into it's proper position before shrugging.
"Might as well. I don't want to be too fun on this night after all or you guys might turn me in." From a distance, a huge poof of pink dust appeared, attracting the attention of the girls. Intrigued, they went to see that a stage has appeared, with a magician's hat in the center of the stage.
"Oh no." Raven grumbled in annoyance.
"Him." Jinx growled, her hands shaking. From in the hat, two arms shot out of it as they grabbed the edges like they're trying to pull itself out. The blue skinned magician, Mumbo himself, playfully struggled to squeeze himself out of his own hat until his knees were out, which he then stepped out of and placed the hat on his head.
"Good evening, ladies and germs! The magnificent Mumbo has appeared! Now, before I begin my act, I will need tips for my services." Taking his hat and flipping towards the crowd, it started sucking like a vacuum, inhaling all the money, jewels and prizes off of his victims, whom cried and protested from such a thing. However, what he didn't expect to take was a blast of pink energy that went into the hat, and caused the inside to explode, propelling the magician back. He grunted as he landed on his back, looking up to see Jinx jump onto his stage.
"Hey Magistink, you owe me $60 grand from from what you did, you prick!"
"Oh come now, Jinxy Winxy, like you think it wasn't your fault for that? By the way, have you ever heard of the Aztec Lady?" Taking a wand from his sleeve and tapping it against the stage, some planks surrounded the metahuman before she could evade or blast the wood and proceeded to trap her in a box. Many rectangle saws appeared out of existence and stuck themselves into the box before each segment moved apart and flipped to show Jinx split up into a random configuration of her body. "Aztec it you have." Mumbo laughed at his pun.
"Hey, a little help here, guys!" Jinx yelled in complaint at her fellow gals.
"I am coming!" Starfire assured her as she flew forward and shot eye beams at the villain, but he managed to swivel out of the way. Taking off his cape, he draped it over the flying alien and pulled it back as she pushed against it to show she disappeared.
"Got yourself a few gal pals, Jinx? That isn't much your style, now is it?" Flipping his cape around, Starfire appeared to be trapped on the red side of his cape, trying to break out of it, but it was like she was stuck within the dimensions of the fabric. "That should be a red flag for you, my dear." Using her magic, Raven levitated several barrels around her and launched them at Mumbo, but he simply jumped over the first one, jumped off the second one, and landed on the third like a bull, negating Raven's hold on it as his own. "A barrel of monkeys is a barrel of fun!" From the dark insides, a mass of monkeys burst from it, piling up on the surprised sorceress. "Well, it's been fun, but I don't want to overstay my welcome." Descending down onto the ground, he held the barrel above his head. "This has been Mumbo, goodnight!" Dropping the barrel over himself, the entire stage exploded into smoke and confetti. The Aztec Lady planks came back together into a box, which Jinx destroyed with her body back in one piece. Starfire crawled from underneath the cape she was trapped in, and Raven pushed herself out of the pile of plush monkeys the animals turned into.
"Ugh, just as annoying as ever." The half-demon groaned.
"You're telling me. I caught him just after he got away with one hundred and twenty grand. We made a bet on half, and I won, but by the time I found out it was a bunch of bricks painted to look like money, he already escaped.
"When did that happen?" Starfire questioned, unfamiliar of any of this.
"Ever seen the aftermath of a crime that seems to have happened from nowhere recently? That's Mumbo. Anyway, now we have a goal in this girl's night out."
"But how can we get to him? Five titans have difficulty taking him down within a day." Raven pointed out.
"Because you didn't have me. Come on, I'm pretty sure I know where he's going to be next." The titan females looked at each other in confusion, shrugged, and went along with her.
Hanging out at a Super Duper Burgers, they were drooling over their meals. Burgers, fries, salads, milkshakes and soda galore, they were about to chow down when a store near them once again exploded, this time showing Control Freak riding on a Shapeformer robot, with him replacing the head, and he was hauling a bag filled with electronics.
"There, now I've collected every game, movie and tv screen they had! Once I bring them to life, I shall reign a cool army that will take down the titans!"
"Not on our watch, Couch Potato!" The villain turned to see the titans. "No way are you going to run a marathon of terror on the streets!" Cyborg declared.
"We'll see what Negaborg's ion cannon has to say about that!" Aiming a giant weapon at them, it charged up with purple energy until it fired. The titans jumped out of the way, but the blast hit and destroyed the fast food joint they were eating at.
"Dang it! We were eating there!" Robin growled as he threw a disk at the base of the Shapeformer, which cackled with electricity as the device short circuited.
"Hey! You know how expensive this mecha is?!" But the guys didn't care as Beast Boy turned into a T-Rex and swiped his tail into the disabled robot, sending the screaming Control Freak right at Cyborg, whom caught him before throwing him into the ground.
"Haha! Nice job Cy!" Beast Boy congratulated his best friend, but his shoulder was tapped by Robin to see that both the store manager and the store employees were angry and wanted compensation for the destroyed restaurant and fried electronics. The green titan groaned in annoyance.
At the Jump City art museum, Mumbo had all the security guards caught in the Chinese three rings as he put a box down on the ground.
"Now, my audience, watch as I take art, with art!" Using his wand to conjure a big box made of nine segments, he pointed to the walls saying, "Hocus Pocus!" All of the paintings and small artifacts flew right out of their frames and glass display cases, raising the alarms as they were stuffed into the box. "Alakazam!" The nine segment box folded many times until it went from large enough that a person could snugly fit in there until it was roughly the size of a Rubik cube. "You know what they say, big bucks come in small packages." He then picked up the box and dropped it into his hat.
"Then it's too bad we'll have to pack it up with your gig." Jinx replied. Mumbo turned the girls and gasped.
"How did you find me so fast?!"
"If I had to guess, that stunt of yours in the park was just a diversion since this museum was on the other side of the city, and by the time the titans would've gotten here, you would've escaped. That's what I would do if I ran solo." The metahuman explained with a smug smile.
"You may know how my methods work, but that doesn't mean that the show is over." Taking out two decks of cards, he giggled, "Why pick just one card, when you can fight them all?! Presto Change-o!" Pushing them out into the air, they started to grow bigger and grew arms legs underneath them, along with swords, clubs and spades as weapons. 104 card enemies faced the three girls, but the villainess knew how to level the playing field. Looking up, she threw her powers at the lights, causing every lightbulb in the building to explode, plunging the museum into darkness.
"Attack them now!" Jinx commanded, and the three lit the room with their respective colorful attacks, destroying some of the cards which lit some of them on fire due to their low heat tolerance. Now that the room was poorly lit instead of pitch black, the villainess used her acrobatic ability to jump off of each card until she eventually reached the sweating magician.
"Getting a little nervous, are we?"
"A magician does his best with a cool head even through the wringer! Speaking of which..." Holding his hat out, two large metal cylinders emerged and was about to flatten her out when she simply jumped and leapt out of the way, letting the attack crash into a wall when a chain of handkerchief ensnared her upper body, which Mumbo took advantage of as he slammed her into the ground, and swung her right at the wringer imbedded in the wall, which started going the other way to ensure she was crushed. Touching her hand on the chain, the handkerchiefs went loose and she was free, but her momentum was still going straight for the wringer. Fortunately, Starfire kicked the top wringer away, allowing Jinx to push off of it and roll onto her feet.
"Thanks."
"You are welcome."
"Your persistence is starting to get annoying. Time to get you off stage!" Turning his wand into a cane with a curve at the end, he extended it so that the sharp end was aiming at the metahuman, but she merely leaned to the side so that it went into the wall, and grabbed onto it with a charged hand. The cane started to crack with energy as pink glowing cracks appeared and caused the whole thing to splinter. While the wand within the cane was unaffected, Mumbo's hands were not.
"Ow! Splinters!"
"Raven, trap him!" Jinx told her.
"Azarath Metrione Zinthos!" With all the remaining cards glowing black, they floated into the air and rushed at the evil magician as they rolled and wrapped him up like he was in the center of a tube. Taking the opportunity, Starfire shot a starbolt at the wand, destroying it.
"NOOO!" Mumbo screamed as his hat expunged all that he robbed, including the box that fell right on top of the now normal old man.
As Mumbo was being hauled away, the girls looked down at the scene from a rooftop. Jinx giggled.
"What?" Raven inquired.
"My favorite moment aside from beating him was seeing your face on the roller coaster as it derailed. You've got to admit the night was fun." While the half-demon sorceress wouldn't go that far, or even admit it if it were true, a smile betrayed her face.
"It was more than I expected."
"Than tonight was a success!" Starfire cheered as she hugged the other two at the same time. "Not only did we have the fun, we even stopped a criminal!"
"Tonight has been great. Thanks... for inviting me, Starfire. Wow, that sounded weird." Jinx admitted while laughing.
"Yeah, who thought I'd have something of a good time with you?" Raven retorted. Jinx then yawned stood up with her hands behind her back.
"Well, it's been great, but I'd be best get going and getting my beauty sleep. See ya."
"Wait, give whatever you have to us." Raven stopped her as she raised an expecting hand. Realizing the situation, Starfire did the same. Sighing in annoyance, she handed over a couple of valuable sculptures.
"I'm still evil, you know? I'm not going to change my ways because we had a fun night."
"It's because we had a fun night and you helped defeat Mumbo that we're letting you go and not join him in prison. Right Starfire?" Raven asked her fellow titan.
"Yes, indeed."
"Fair enough. In exchange, here. If you want to do this again. You'll know where to find me. Or if I'm in prison, bail me out. Saturdays. See ya." Dropping a card first, Jinx ran to a ledge and jumped over it, disappearing into the night. Starfire picked up the card to see what was the hottest club in Jump City, the Oasis. On ground level, Jinx reached into her shirt through the neck collar and pulled out a wad of cash. "It ain't 60 grand, but several hundred is still decent for a night or two." Putting the money in her pants, she strolled into the dark allies.
Boy's night out was ruined. They thought they could just do some bowling, but Atlas decided tonight was the night to try and cheat through a bowling tournament. Now they were just sitting on the sidewalk dejected.
"Man, what is up with the villains tonight! We didn't do anything fun!" Beast Boy complained.
"Worst. Boys night out. Ever." Robin sighed sadly.
"I bet the girls stayed home and watched a movie or something. That sounds better than what we went through." Cyborg mentioned. From the sky though, Starfire and Raven descended to the ground, confused on why they appeared so glum.
"Hello boys. Why do you look so sad on this boys night out?" Starfire asked.
"Villains. Punk Rocket destroyed our hats, Control Freak destroyed our food, and Atlas destroyed the bowling ally we were at. We had zero fun." Cyborg answered.
"Sorry about your night." Raven dryly apologized.
"Perhaps tomorrow, we can go to the park and have some quality bonding time, all the five of us." Starfire suggested. Of the guys, Beast Boy smiled.
"That'd be nice."
A/N: I'd like to thank Eris and TomoMoon1 for the ideas they gave me, even if I leaned towards one over the other. I couldn't think of doing this differently.
