A/N: Eris, your inspiration is funny is as heck. Haha, love it. I bet that's also why you wanted a ghost in the school which seemed totally random to me. Credit will be given for a series of songs at the end of the chapter.
As the titans ate another one of Alfred's breakfasts, Bruce at the end of the table coughed to get the teenagers' attention.
"So, since you'll be here not acting as heroes but average teenagers, I believe it to be fair that you attend school as average teenagers. It'll look suspicious if you hang here most of your stay."
"What?! But how do we just qualify to go to school?!" Victor complained. "None of us has been to a school, sans Jinx, for a long time! Not to mention why should we go to school in the first place?! I wasn't academically great before becoming a cyborg!"
"You forget, I'm Bruce Wayne, with a ward that, on official records, has been studying in Europe for the better part of these years. Gotham Academy will gladly take Richard, and any friends he happens to bring since they specialize in at least one field of academics that would point to college majors. Victor in computer science and mathematics and was a previous high school quarterback, Garfield in zoology, Rachel in languages and literature both English and foreign, Holly in criminology, and Kori in astronomy. Richard, well, I've taught him as much as I could before he left. Biology, technology, mathematics, physics, geography, history, criminal science, chemistry, engineering, medical science and a few foreign languages. He's not on my level of skill and knowledge, but he certainly has more overall skill and knowledge than most people on this side of the coast. You'll begin this coming Monday."
"Might as well." Richard sighed. "Besides, given that some of you never dealt with the hell that's high prestige academy's you'll need me to survive in them."
"But why?" Kori asked, now becoming concerned.
"Because schools often tend to group people up by just their looks and initial personalities alone, disregarding anything underneath. Star, you'd be in the rich, popular group, who value looks, wealth and status above all else. Your kind personality would be destroyed so that you're rude and snooty just as them. Victor would either be a jock because of his athletic exterior, or a nerd given his smarts, so he'd either be bullied, or be the bully with no chance of compromise. Rachel, if she were still suppressing her emotions, would be part of the invisible loser crowd, which is where goths, emos and punks reside. It'd be like she wasn't there because everyone would ignore her."
"I'd be cool with that anyway." Raven shrugged. "I willingly lived with you guys when we formed the team and I still initially stayed away for both your protection and personally liking solitude. I don't mind being the lonely loser if that means we can hang out afterwards."
"Right. Continuing on, Garfield would be just slightly higher than Rachel's class, the class clown. He'd never be taken seriously because people will think humor is the only thing he's good for. Holly would be part of the party crowd. Not as popular as the rich popular crowd, but she'd be relied on for breaking the rules and having a fun time, though that makes her a dangerous target for teachers."
"Whatever. Who needs a high school diploma when you're already a butt kicking heroine?" Jinx shrugged as well.
"Girl, the only reason you're that cool is because you were recruited and then expelled from a supervillain academy." Victor pointed out.
"Oh, right. Nevermind." She again shrugged while crossing her arms.
"I knew school was terrible! Like back before I became a Doom Patrol member!" Beast Boy started to freak out, only for Cyborg to place a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey hey, don't worry Beastie. Not all schools are like that. Just the worst ones."
"Right. I'll protect you all on my watch. Hmmm, with that said then, it's decided. We're going to school, and I'll make sure academy level high school isn't hell for you all. We'll also get some new clothes for the occasion.
At Gotham Academy, six new transfer students entered the headmaster's office. He was a middle age man, and looked like what you would typically think what a mean dean looks like.
"Ah, welcome to Gotham Academy for the next two weeks, Richard Grayson. We are honored that the ward of Bruce Wayne decided to grace us with your presence."
"Yeah." The Boy Wonder replied unenthusiastically.
"So, who are your friends that are joining you from Europe?"
"You already know who they are Mr. Kane. I would think you read the files Mr. Wayne has sent you, and accepted money so that they could attend for as long as I do, no questions asked."
"I have indeed, but I want to hear from your mouth who your friends are. Files can be so impersonal if you understand."
"Fine. This is my girlfriend Kori Anders. We met while I was studying in Greece. She makes me so happy, because she's a happy person." Kori giggled as they brushed hands for a second. "Victor Stone here is a technological prodigy I met in England, though like me he only transferred there shortly so he's not English. He can be loud, but also pretty fun." He and Vic high fived. "Just as fun as the party animal of my circle, Garfield Lane, also transferring to England. He loves cracking jokes and making people laugh just as much as studying animals. But if there's anyone beat in having a good time, it's Holly Thompson. I found her while in India and we became close friends given our...indulgent sides. A bit of a trouble maker but she follows rules well enough. Finally is Rachel Roth, whom I befriended in Germany. At first she's a bit cold and anti-social at first, but once she befriends someone, she makes for a good listener when it comes to literature. And that's who my friends are."
"Well, as long as you all respect my rules of both the academy community and attendees of both students and staff, then there should be no problem. Now, go and get yourselves into uniform. We have a dress code." As they walked out of the headmaster's office, Holly looked ticked off.
"I can't believe only you could talk about me. I can handle myself Richard."
"I did research on Mr. Kane. He's one of those that demands the highest of respect. You don't talk to him, unless he allows you to talk to him. He'll break any student down if they don't stay within school guidelines."
"Whatever. We'll see you guys later." Holly scoffed. The boys and girls went in opposite directions towards the gender dorms. The guys dressed in white dress shirts, blue vests and tan colored pants. Once they walked out, the three were then surrounded by three guys.
"Well, if it isn't fresh meat. Let's show them how we break new kids into our school. The Titans looked at each other, and grinned. Five seconds later, they were on the ground with a kicked crotch, a punched face and an arm given a twist burn. By Victor. But it was then that a teacher came around, and BAM! Detention. Even when they pleaded self defense he didn't buy it. So they boys were sitting around in desks bored until the girls came in.
"Dang jerks. I knew this was going to be terrible." Holly growled.
"What happened?" Gar asked.
"Holly slapped the school queen, Amanda Wilds, in the face for calling her a dork." Rachel answered.
"Unfortunately, it's true while I'm in this uniform. How can any girl look cool in these clothes?" The Indian girl moped, looking down at her white shirt with a plain brown vest over it, navy blue skirt and knee high socks to go with her black shoes. They all also wore their hair in ponytails.
"What about you two?" Victor asked. "Surely you didn't do anything."
"We were standing too close. Association by proximity." Rachel responded as she went to her desk and placed her head down on it.
"I thought school was supposed to be a meaningful experience." Kori sounded she was on the verge of tears, so Richard went to comfort her.
"This is what I meant. Academies like this are social cesspools." Victor then gasped.
"Guys, I just realized something!"
"What?"
"This just like 'The Brunch Group'! The 1985 drama comedy of five stereotype teenagers being sent to detention, but through their common traits of coming from messed up home lives, they learn how to make the best of detention and learn the meaning of friendship!"
"Is there anything super interesting in it?" Garfield asked.
"Just a random dance scene. Otherwise it's just talking throughout the whole thing. Not a whole lot happens beyond that."
"But do we not already know the friendship in this case?" Kori asked.
"Luckily, I have a contingency plan in case this exact situation ever happens. Hey Rach, mind casting an illusion in this library that we're just sitting in here doing our own thing when we're not?"
"Oooookay? Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" She chanted, casting a spell that in six chairs six bored looking teens were sitting. Pressing his chest, Cyborg's chest cavity opened up past his hologram image, and brought out Boom Box!
"Let's have ourselves a dance montage, just like The Brunch Group!" The cybernetic titan called, and the little buddy started playing 80s songs that everyone was getting excited with.
"Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight riding upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need! I need a hero! I'm holding out for a hero at the end of the night!" Richard was the first to dance as he hopped from one foot to the next, swinging his arms in and out. At the white knight part he started pumping his fists up one after the other as if either cheering or fighting the air above him until the title of the song came along, dabbing to the lyrics. Going with the lyrics, he flexed his strong arms, his fast legs, and even did a standing backflip to show he's fresh for the fight. All his friends except Holly were cheering him on through the song. While she was smiling and bopping her head to the music, she found it typical Robin would dance to such a masculine glorifying song.
Next up was Kori as the song shifted. Starfire started doing stretches such as crouching on her right leg while letting the left stretch far behind her, then repeating with the opposite order, her hair falling to the ground over her shoulder. Standing up by means of going through downward dog before straightening so fast her flipped over her head, the song started.
"Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night. Looking for the fight of her life. In the real time world no one sees her at all. They all say she's crazy. Locking rhymes to the beat of her heart, changing woman into life. She has danced into the danger zone when a dancer becomes a dance. It can cut you like a knife if the gift becomes the fire on a wire between will and what will be. She's a maniac, maniac." Through the lyrics Kori shimmied her arms as she lightly pumped her hands into the air as high as her head, before going on to spin and twirl with increasing speed. Briefly going into a stationary sprint just before the title of the song, once maniac came up the girl started moving her upper body back and forth while pumping her arms down parallel to her body, her hair swishing with the motions. Then she grabbed her head and whipped it back left and right, her hair flying all over now for a few seconds before going back down straight onto the ground as Star started curling back, like she was doing a dance version of the limbo before she straightened out fast again. Her hands went through her hair up to her head as Kori trailed her hands down to her shoulders and down her body, stopping at her knees as she stuck her butt out. She winked at her boyfriend, whom was watching with all his attention as he was captured by her beauty. As the end of the song came up, Kori finished it off with a perfect split, getting lots of applause from her friends as the disguised alien princess floated over to Richard, and the embraced to kiss, taking her away, it was evident they were going to make out big time.
"Jitterbug. Tck, tck, Jitterbug." Garfield moved his his shaped arms back and forth while twitching his leg with each tck. Once the lyrics started, he started skipping while slapping his knee with the opposite side hand. "You put the boom-boom into my heart (do do). You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts. Jitterbug into my brain (yeah yeah). Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same but something's bugging you. Something ain't right, my best friend told me what you did last night. Left me sleepin' in my bed, I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead! Wake me up, before you go go! Don't leave me hanging like a yo yo!" Shaking his arms to the beat, Beast Boy laughed as he did the Carlton dance, even singing along with the wake me up segments. He then wiggled his knees left and right symmetrically while he swung his arms in circles, knocking his fists into each other right in front of him. Next he swung his left arm like a windmill while gyrating his hips in a circle before going back to skipping and slapping his knees. After a bit more funny dancing, Holly went up and lightly pushed him out of the way, prompting Boom Box to switch to the next song.
Holly rhythmically brought each of her arms up, keeping one low while the other was up while shaking her hips. She went even further by pushing her butt slightly out and put her arms out front, swinging them up and down in opposite directions while she smiled.
"I come home in the morning of the light, my mother says 'when are you gonna live your life right?" Jinx just bopped to the song as she shook her hips, and thrusted her arms forward in certain directions as the girl allowed herself to get lost in the music. Pointing her left finger from the right to the left, she then raised both arms and fingers towards the ceiling while mouthing, 'girls just want to have fun.' Getting to the middle of the song, Holly pretended to shout into a microphone while pushing the air away opposite of her face looking to her left. Letting the music guide her movements as she brought her fists towards her hips, bringing them from left to right to left again repeatedly, Victor couldn't help but be entranced. Thinking of something, the cybernetic titan whispered something to Boom Box, who nodded.
Once Victor was up, he took off his holoring to be Cyborg again and kept his face covered with his hands and waggling fingers, before lowering them to show a peculiarly attractive face, particularly towards Holly, whom noticed. He then lip synched to the song.
"If I...get to know your name. Well I...could find your phone number baby. All I know is that to me, you look like you're lots of fun. Open up your lovin' arms, I want some, want some. I set my sights on you, and no one else will do, and I've got to have you baby! All I know is that to me, you look like you're lots of fun. Open up your lovin' arms, watch out, here I come! You spin me right round, baby, right around, like a record, baby, right around, right around." As he sung this part, Cyborg pushed his head so that it would start spinning, right before his arms and torso would go on spinning the other way, flailing around wildly all the while as he walked in a circle, clearly going around in more ways than one. Holly couldn't help but laugh while feeling flattered. "I want your loooooooooooove! I want your loooooooooooove!" Once that song finished, Cyborg fell to pieces with his head rolling into Holly's shoes. Picking his head up, the Indian girl smiled at him sweetly with tears in her eyes, unable to swipe them away.
"Cy, was that a confession you gave me there?"
"Well, I mean, I don't want to presume or anything. If I'm going to fast we can just-" The nervously chatting head uttered quickly.
"Shhh." Holly silenced him with a finger to the lips. "That was very sweet of you. I need some time to think about being your girlfriend and romantic love in general if it's for me. But in the mean time, we can be physically intimate at least. How does that sound?"
"Gr-great! Booyah!" Cyborg shouted in victory. Jinx giggled before proceeding to kiss him.
"Aw, looks Rach. So sweet." Garfield swooned.
"Yeah." She agreed. "So I guess it's my turn then since everyone else has gone." Once Cyborg was reassembled and became Victor again, Raven's dance moment started to play.
"First, when there's nothing but a slow glowing dream. That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind." As the music played, Rachel moved slowly and elegantly similar to that as a ballerina without the toe standing. But once the tempo started to increase, the half-demon girl started moving with swifter movement, using a combination of dabbing and soft face palming while stepping to the left and right and back again. Soon she even started swishing her arms back and forth as if to punch the air to her sides while sidestepping. Placing her hands on her hips, she trailed them up her body while stepping forward and gyrating her hips. Taking a few steps back, Rachel took the hair band keeping her hair in a tail and pulled it away, shaking her head so that it returned to its normal bob. She whipped her body left to right with her arms flailing in opposite directions parallel to her body before jumped with all her limbs extended. Stepping in place, Rachel reached her hands high before closing them into fists and bringing them to her chest. Walking a single circle, the disguised sorceress spun around three times, each time her body relaxing more and more letting the upper half of her body swing out along with her arms, before finishing with a jump split, landing on the ground, breathing heavily with a smile.
"Alright, now for the grand finale!" Victor declared as the song switched to another oldie yet goodie. Loosefeet. And this time, more than just one of them participated.
"Not working at all! Tired of punching cards! Hate working for eight hours! I'll tell you what I got! I've got this feeling! That time's holding me down still! I've hit rock bottom, and I need to build myself up! Now I got Loose, Loosefeet, Kick off my two left feet! Geez, Louise, pull off my lazy knees! Zach, get back, I need to hit the jogging track! Loose, your feet, go on out onto that street!" This time the titans were mimicking the dance steps from the movie, such as Richard and Rachel jumping from the left to the right with their feet and knees switching from inwards to outwards, the boys of Richard, Victor and Garfield respectively walking either forwards or backwards while swinging their L shaped arms, and the girls of Kori, Holly and Rachel respectively zigzagging left to right as they twisted their butts and knees in opposite directions while swinging their hands hip to hip. Not even the occasionally checking principle or janitor stopped their dancing thanks to Raven's illusions still keeping them secret. But after an hour of dancing, everyone was exhausted while Rachel literally danced herself to the ground, winding up on her knees and face.
"Man, that was awesome." Garfield yawned.
"Yeah. Dancing sure can be a thrill." Holly nodded as she rested on Vic as he laid on a bookshelf, taking a nap.
"But what are we to do now?" Kori questioned. "Without the songs or the deconstructing of the teenage types of stereos, there is nothing to do here." After thinking a bit, that was when Holly thought of something.
"What if we went after the bullies?"
"But wouldn't we just become the bullies?" Garfield asked.
"Nah, bullying is picking on people who can't defend themselves and don't deserve it. You know the bullies qualify as neither."
"Eh, beats hanging around here being bored." Rachel shrugged.
"Exactly. Let's knock some people down a peg."
Target #1: Paul Miller. Not part of any high school clique, and by no means the smartest student on campus, or smart in any regard, but he is the leader of a secret bullying group that picks on nerds whenever they can while not outing themselves as bullies. Not to mention that he's huge. While he's not smart enough to play most sports, his build does make him seem like he'll become the next Andre the Giant. He and his gang were picking on three nerds in the gymnasium when a whistle got their attention.
"Hey, yo fools! Yeah I'm calling you dudes out!" Garfield yelled at them. Weirdly to them, he wasn't wearing shoes, letting his feet be exposed.
"What you say, fresh meat? You want some of us?" The giant bully questioned, pounding a fist against his chest.
"I don't know, what's it look like to you fool? Or are you too slow to realize when someone's standing up to you?"
"That it! Paul wants vengeance!" As he charged, Beast Boy closed his eyes, and let his animal instincts tell him what to do. While it seemed weird his feet weren't wearing shoes, it actually gave him the advantage, as the instincts of a snake allowed him to not just feel where Paul's footsteps were, but precisely where he was and the position he's in during that moment of contact, along with the hair on his neck and partially exposed forearms. Like his now permanently enhanced eyes and nose, even his hair is exponentially enhanced, since every hair on his body except his scalp were sensitive to that of a spider's giving him even more sensitivity which he can tune out, but use super effectively when he needs it. Feeling Paul coming, Garfield jumped out of the way, letting the bully run past. Once regained his bearing and tried to swing some punches at him, Beast Boy countered with some wide sweeping chops to his wrists, both parrying them away while dealing some small damage. With his opponent confused, he took the advantage to kick Paul in the chest, making him back off. Attempting again to attack, Paul tried to hit BB with a straightforward punch, but the small titan sidestepped while spinning to give three jabs to his side, and another kick to his hip. Falling to one knee, the dumb academy bully groaned as he tried to back hand Garfield, but he back stepped with the fluidness of a snake, now fluidly dodging Paul's attacks as he leapt over a punch and over the bully, duck under an incoming elbow upon landing, and finally retaliating with a backflip kick to the face. "Ow! Hold still freak!" But Garfield was too much in the zone to respond. Going down onto his knuckles along with his feet like a monkey, he waited for Paul to get close before jumping up to kick him in the face again, and feeling some tiger instinct combine with some monkey, he rolled forward upon landing and rose to give a full body powered, single double palmed tiger strike to Paul's groin. He gasped in pain as he fell to his knees. Feeling that he has won, Garfield opened his eyes and began to taunt.
"Come on Paul, I thought you were tough, or is a little string bean like me too good?"
"You're...dead." He threatened as he got up. Looking back at the nearest wall and back before snickering, he ran away like a cheetah on all fours while the bully gave chase. Upon reaching the wall, Gar pounced onto it, and leapt off over Paul, allowing the juggernaut to run smack into the wall with his head. He yelled in pain as he was greatly disoriented. Taking the chance, the disguised titan decided to humiliate this fool by leaping onto him, his hands on Paul's head and his feet trapping his right fist, and folded himself so that a fist punched a bully's face repeatedly.
"Why you hitting yourself? Why you hitting yourself? Haha." Beast Boy laughed as he jumped off and displayed the true power of beasts in a human body, lunging like a flying monkey to land all hands and feet in a unified strike to the chest, followed by a cartwheel to give a strong kicking strike to the head again before sweeping back to center, a crane kick to the groin once again, finalized by a tiger strike to the face. Unable to take much more, fell to the ground unconscious. The other smaller bullies were stupefied by the display of such wild and vicious attacks. Looking towards them, Garfield gave a roar that legitimately sounded like a tiger, scaring them away, along with the nerds as well. "Hmm, guess they can't handle a boy that attacks like a beast." Chuckling, he left Paul in the gym.
Target #2: Oswald Williamson. Leader of the rich group. Also the academy's boxing champion. As he practiced against a fellow rich snob surrounded by his friends and colleagues, Richard walked in, popping his knuckles.
"Hey, Oswald. Got a minute?"
"Yeah, what do you want Grayson?" Oswald replied as he punched out his sparring partner.
"I'm here to strip you of your title. As rich as you and your family is, mine has way much more wealth so I have that advantage over you, so the only thing that you have over me is the title of boxing champion. And if we're anything alike, we hate backing down and losing."
"True. And you think that beating me fair and square will make you better than me on that front?"
"Yep."
"Hmph, alright then. Go change and show me what you've got. Bet you won't even last two seconds up here in the ring." Once Richard was wearing the proper boxing attire, he sized up his competition. Three inches taller and more muscle mass, if just slightly. Either a slugger or swarmer of a fighter. Not that fighting style matters, since he can fight like all three variations of boxing, clean and dirty. Once the bell rang, Oswald charged first and gave a right hook, only for Richard to duck and strike in the stomach, pushing back the snob. He gasped from how hard the punch felt even with the padded gloves, but he didn't let the deter him. He tried retaliated with a left hook, but it was blocked, along with any other punch after that. Robin then side stepped a left upper-cut and slugged the guy in the shoulder. He cried out, feeling his his arm nearly came out from its socket. He ducked and blocked a one two combo and got two quick jabs in. Thankfully for Oswald, those two hits didn't hurt, but they pushed him back still. Using his right shoulder to block Richard's hits, he waited for the right moment to counter, and socked Richard with an upper-cut to the jaw, sending the Boy Wonder stumbling back. Seeing an opportunity, Oswald clocked Grayson in the jaw, causing him to reel back. Lunging forward, he tried striking Richard's head, but the titan leader's muscle memory helped him to spin underneath the blow, and counterattack with a spinning left hook to Williamson's lower ribs. He yelled from pain. ("Did he dislocate a rib or something?! He's going to pay!") The two proceeded to give equal blows to each other, but then Oswald went dirty by grabbing hold of Richard's shoulders, headbutting his challenger in the nose, and socking him in the gut. Grayson staggered forward, dazed from the surprise dirty moves.
("Of course he wouldn't stick to fairness. Fine, then I'll just win fair and square even harder.") Shaking his head, he noticed that Williamson just went back onto the offense, so with his lightning fast reflexes, he ducked and punched Oswald in the chest with a one-two combo, knocking the wind out of the snob's lungs. The rich teen tried to overwhelm Richard with rapid fire punches, but Richard evaded them all, trying to tire the champion out. Going down low, Oswald tried to defend his gut from anymore blows, but he wasn't expecting Robin to make an uppercut and go in between his arms to make a punch so strong he was lifted off the ground by a couple of inches. Oswald gasped as he fell to the floor. Slowly getting up with some considerable effort and weakly putting his arms up, he gave a easily evadable punch before being clocked in the head by Robin, stumbling into the ropes of the ring, he couldn't defend himself against an onslaught of punches Robin gave in rapid succession, swarming him with blows.
"Say it! Say that I won!"
"You win! Stop, stop you win!" Oswald begged, and so Richard stopped. Bruises were coming in on Oswald's skin, especially his right eye. Spitting out his mouth guard, Richard nodded.
"That's right. Now don't bully anyone else again. Ever. I'll know." Walking away, he could detect that Oswald was trying to strike him from behind, so he swiftly turned and gave a wallop of a punch, strong enough to knock Oswald Williamson out cold while punching the snob's mouth guard out of his mouth. He fell to the floor while Robin jumped out of the ring, leaving the audience stunned.
Targets #3 & 4: James Campbell and Amanda Wilds, the king of queen of the academy, forcing their authority on every other student beneath them in the hierarchy. Well, according to the rest of the titans, that ends today. Rachel went to deal with Amanda since she wasn't at the football field, while Victor, Holly and Kori hid amongst the bushes. Kori was dressed up in the upper football gear and helmet.
"So, we know what to do?" Holly questioned. Both wordlessly nodded. "Then let's get crazy." Kori went first as she leapt out of the bushes, and gave a warrior cry as she charged towards the surprised jocks, pushing them down with little effort. Even when they tried dogpiling her, Kori ploughed right through them like they were made of paper, and ran out of the field area. The hyper aggressive hormone raging males gave chase, allowing Cyborg and Jinx to do their thing. Cyborg replaced the football with a look alike made from solid steel, Jinx ran over the field laying her magic over it, then she put invisible glue to the seats while Cyborg hacked into the electronic screen so that it displayed certain words. Jumping back into the bush, they waited for the jocks to return, along with some cheerleaders who must've joined them along the way.
"Dang, that girl's fast." One complained.
"She'd totally make for a good quarterback if she didn't just use as as crash dummies." Another retorted.
"Hey, I'm the quarterback, and no skinny lightweight girl is going to replace me." James Campbell protested. "Alright, let's get back into practice. Girls, you just sit over there until it's time to cheer." As the team went onto the field and the cheer squad went to sit on the benches. The two titans started recording. "Alright, 80, 12, 56, 32, set hut!" One of the players tried to throw the ball, but the steel weight made it unthrowable, allowing the kicker to accidently kick his teammate in the groin, which even with a cup it still hurt his pelvis. Then the sprinklers went off with both water, and modified glitter sparkle turrets. The cheerleaders tried to sit up, but their skirts were stuck and easily broke, leaving their undies exposed. The girls screamed while the guys yelled as they tripped over themselves. The electronic board displayed the words 'Jocks sure like slapping skin' Victor and Holly quietly high fived while giggling. Once the entire humiliating prank was finished and uploaded to the internet for permanent damage, they met up with Kori and Rachel.
"So, how was the epic humiliating of the ball footing team?" Starfire asked.
"Awesome. How about you Rachel? Gave her a lesson in humility?" Holly asked.
"Not here in reality, but in her mind I gave her the idea that if she continued being an alpha jerk, she'd become rich and famous, commit crimes, get a divorce and lose everything and be utterly forgotten as a sad old lady nobody cares for. So now she's going to set her life on the good and straight."
"Oh. Well, at least someone from here will actually go on to be good for something." The former villainess shrugged. "Well, let's see who need more tastes of their own medicine." So for the next two weeks, the titans not only managed to either show every bully in the academy the error of their ways, or at least submit to them for the time being, but even got every corrupted teacher in the academy fired one by one, even the headmaster fired for anything that can reasonably get a teacher fired. They've effectively managed to turn Gotham Academy into a place of private education students can live a meaningful life.
At the end of their civilian vacation, each of the titans, now back in uniform, were saying their goodbyes to Alfred, Barbara and Tim, even if he kept his distance.
"Take care Master Richard. It has been nice having you here again."
"It's been good to be back Alfred. Thanks for the recipes. We'll be sure to eat them regularly." Robin said as they hugged for the last time in a long while.
"Robin." A voice called out. The titan leader looked past Alfred to see Bruce, walking up to him. The two stood there awkwardly before Bruce told his former sidekick,
"You're welcome back any time as Richard and friends. Tim is sufficient enough as Robin." Even if it wasn't a full on apology and sounded a bit backhanded, this was probably as good as it was going to get, so Robin accepted it.
"Thank you." He said begrudgingly. "Let's go home." Loading up into the jet, the titans left Gotham to return home.
A/N: Well, this has been fun to write, even if hard to think up. Eris, when you mentioned about Beast Boy in Spellbound in that previous review, I was unaware of the fact, which may seem obvious but I just wanted to clarify that. Also sorry about not incorporating the ghost of the school. This chapter is getting really long as is and a part 4 seemed too much. But hey, let's just put a pin on it for later this season. I don't really much care for the actual parody episode of Scooby Doo with that basketball player and the two headed ghoul, so let's ignore that and you can make your own so that we can make a proper parody of the show.
Shout outs: all of the songs and dances numbers were inspired by Just Dance games, and the final one from Breakfast Club, obviously. I also took some notes from the Rockstar game Bully for taking down those bullies. It's like an origin story of a Grand Theft Auto game with no guns and murder. How fun.
