A/N: Alright, so since Eris has made some more reviews and will likely make some more soon, I'm going to come back for a short bit to make 2 more chapters before going on back to my TT break. One is this, and the other is the long over due fixing of Vegetables.
Robin was bored. Super bored. The reason? All the others were gone. Victor went to Detroit with Jinx, Garfield and Raven went to spend some time in Africa for a short bit, and Starfire went to Tamaran because Silky got sick. There has been no crimes and since it's been so soon after the Battle of the Sexes, no one is available to pick up the slack. It's a good thing he made a call because the elevator dinged. Looking over, he saw the doors open to reveal...no one. Confused, the Boy Wonder jumped over the couch to investigate. However, once he got close enough, a man burst through the elevator ceiling. A man wearing a red mask, holding a gun. Robin instinctively pulled his cape around so that his bullet resistant cape took all the blows, even if the force of them still hurt despite being absorbed by his cape.
Feeling his assailant roll over his protected body to try and get around his bullet proof cape, Robin turned to not only catch the wrist of an incoming punch, but also the gun hand as it shot off into the roof. The two men pushed against each other in a battle of pure strength for a couple of seconds, the two grunting with effort before the Boy Wonder drove a knee into Red Hood's lower body, though that didn't do much since he was wearing body armor. So after that Robin kicked the right arm away so that he could swat the gun away just as it fired, evading death by an inch. Grappling with the gun, Hood bashed his helmet into Robin's disorienting the teen hero, though that didn't mean the hit was free as the Titan used the momentum to strike against the vigilante's head. The two crossed arms with identical attacks as means of retaliation, though that gave Robin the opportunity to stick an ammunition disk onto Red Hood and back off, which proceeded to shock the assailant. Even though he groaned strongly from the pain, he managed to power through it enough to grab onto Robin, resulting in both men getting shocked. Dropping down to their knees once the disk ran out of power, Hood smacked a back hand against Robin's face, sending him reeling onto the floor. As the assailant approached, Robin was able to pounce and crash his shoulder and upper body into his enemy's chest, managing to at least knock the wind out of him. Grappling the Boy Wonder, he threw the Titan into the back of the couch, was going to shoot Robin if it weren't for Grayson somersaulting in a way he kicked the gun away, and caught another fist which would've struck his face. Glaring into the glowing eyes of the mask, the two stared at each other before Red Hood scoffed.
"Weak."
"Nice to meet you too Jason." Jason's caught punch gripped Richard's wrist as he helped the fellow Robin up and the two nodded in acknowledgment, their version of a bro hug. "Alright, guys. If he's here then you all probably arrived."
"Eh, you got us." Tim Drake, or Red Robin appeared from the kitchen. Stephanie Brown, aka The Spoiler dropped from an air duct.
"Sorry! But we couldn't stop him from wanting to sizing you up."
"The best we could do was convince him to use rubber bullets." Carrie Kelley admitted. "The whole thing seemed stupid from my opinion."
"Well how else would we know he could handle a sudden assassination attempt?" Damian Wayne, the youngest of the bunch as the only preadolecent, countered. "Though he could use some more intensive training given how quickly he fell to Jason.
"Guys, guys!" Richard gently yelled, getting all their attention. "The important thing here is that we're all together again. I mean, when was the last time all six Robins came together?" Nobody answered for about half a minute. "Rrrrrright. Well, at least now Jump City is in good hands with six Robins on the case!"
"Speaking of, I brought treats!" Stephanie proclaimed as she went to the kitchen to get them. "I have push up bars, fudge bars, strawberry and chocolate crunch, bomb pops, ice cream sandwiches and drum sticks!" And while that sounded cool, that just resulted in the six eating ice cream awkwardly, not sure what to talk about all this time. Jason and Damian aren't even eating, though not it's because they hate sweets, but more rather they know that eating wouldn't solve anything so why bother?
"Soooo...are we going to say anything or are we just going to sit around like a bunch of logs?" Carrie asked, not sure what to say. "Like uhhhh, any new teams you're in like Richard has made when he left?"
"I created a team called The Outlaws. It's just three members. Artemis, which mind you is a different one, more focused on Egyptian mythology than The Team's own, and a clone of Bizzaro. Nearly made Black Mask brain dead, killed some terrorists to find a Bow of Ra, Bizzaro died but was brought back by Lex Luthor, helped out the Suicide Squad, I beat up Penguin, to put it softly. I'd...rather not talk what happened after."
"Stephanie and I were in a team with Cassandra and Clayface under the tutilage of Batman and Batwoman, preparing to fight the Colonists, lead by Batwoman's father." Tim said. "I went through a wild ride that involved this Mister Oz, reliving my memories, seeing a future where I was Batman and had to help him fight Doomsday." Stephanie conitued.
"Afterwards we met up with Wonder Girl and Impulse, along with Teen Lantern and Ginny Hex. We went to this cool place called Gemworld and met a woman called Princess Amethyst." The female robin then smiled as she thought of something. "Actually, that reminds me. I don't know if anyone is in the know but...I have a boyfriend."
"Really?" Richard and Carrie asked in surprise. Red Hood hummed while Damian didn't look too pleased. Tim had a total poker face as he kept eating his drum stick ice cream.
"What's the point? Romance will only get in the way of the mission." Damian asked, like it obviously a bad idea. Stephanie chuckled as she patted his head.
"You'll know when you're older." He swatted her hand away angrily.
"Don't use my age against me! I'll have you know, I have my own Teen Titans group!"
"Oh really?" Jason chuckled, finally taking a fudge bar to eat. "Now who do you have?"
"Jesse Quick, Roundhouse, whom can turn into a ball of any material, such as rubber, fire, ice, iron, etc. The daughter of Lobo; Crush and a spirit called Djinn."
"Wait, as in a genie?" Tim asked out of confused curiosity.
"Yes, but she's not all powerful in her reality warping, and she doesn't come in a lamp."
"Man, all you guys get to do all the cool and dangerous stuff." Carrie complained. "All I've done is go to college and team up with Damian every now and then. Even dressed as a cheetah once."
"Well, it seems like we've all had our journeys, with exception of Carrie, sorry." Robin nodded to her whom grumbled. "Now that we're here and waiting for crime to pop up, how about we watch a movie?"
"Absolutely not." Tim objected.
"Oh why not Tim?" Stephanie asked.
"You always spoil things whenever we watch a movie together."
"I don't...always do it." She tried denying, but that hesitance was noted.
"Steph, you're alter-ego aside from Robin #5 is The Spoiler. And as it turns out you spoil way more than just your dad's crimes."
"So what if I can't help it, don't judge me!" The girl turned away indignantly.
"So if we can't watch a movie than what about a multi-player game? We have plenty of those." Richard shrugged.
"Such as..." Jason lead on.
"Hahaha! Oh man, I am just blasting all over the place with this rocket launcher!" Robin laughed.
"Robin, I need you to clear out these guys!" Red Hood told him. "I need to burn everything down!"
"Well not everything you pyromaniac! I need to build up these turrets!" Red Robin spoke up.
"Just stay out of my way. I'm undercover." Red Bird made clear.
"Doctor, make me bulletproof!" Carrie yelled in mock Russian accent. Stephanie laughed maniacally before responding in a mock German accent,
"Don't worry my machine gun wielding friend, I'm right on it!" The Robins were on a mission. And that mission was taking the home base of the Indigo Team, as they the Cardinal Team playing on the game Squad Castle 6. Once all the Indigo Team was killed, Richard, Carrie and Stephanie celebrated until a bonus boss alert picked up. Bursting onto the field was a giant mutated cookie with tumors, tentacles and a giant mouth filled with teeth.
"You've got to be kidding me." Damian said, finding this to be unbelievably ridiculous.
"Hey, you joined when you found there was an Assassin Spy character which fitted you best!" Stephanie told him with a laugh. "Now come on, we've got a cookie to crumble!" They went on the offensive with Stephanie helping Carrie be indestructible as she blasted countless bullets into the boss.
"The only thing worse than unhealthy cookies are burnt ones." Jason stated as he started to over bake the cookie monster with fire. With a combination of rockets, fire and bullets, they were eventually able to take down the bonus boss and win the game.
"Aw yeah, that's how we do it!" Robin cheered.
"Alright! Bring it in sister!" Stephanie said as she and Carrie hugged in celebration.
"It was alright I guess." Jason shrugged. Tim and Damian felt the same. All of their stomachs then rumbled.
"Oh, I guess even though we had ice cream its lunch time." Richard noted. "Who wants pizza?!" Carrie and Stephanie happily said yes while the other guys raised their hands.
"And what will you all like?" The counter attendant of Zippy's Pizza asked the group of Robins whom were still wearing their respective costumes. Robin ordered first for them all;
"We'll have a Super Zippy Pizza extra large with pepperoni, peppers, ham and pineapple.
"I'll have the Crispy Zippy Wings with Garlic Parmesan." Jason added.
"I'd also like the Zippy cheese bread sticks with sauce." Carrie ordered for herself.
"Oh man, I love cinnamon sticks!" Stephanie gushed. "We'll take six. Oh, and give a small pepperoni for Red Bird here." She pointed to Damian. "We don't want to spoil dinner for him." She and Carrie giggled.
"Don't treat me like a toddler in the back of a van!" He cried out infuriatingly. Once they had their food, the Robins headed back to the tower so that they could eat and have fun on the beach. Or...as fun as you can have with Red Hood shooting at rocks sticking out of the water for target practice, Tim lying in the sun with a tanning mirror alone and Damian using the obstacle course. Robin was the only one who was wearing swim trunks.
"Really guys? You do realize that you can relax if you want. No guns or obstacle courses and such."
"We already spent our 'free time' on that stupid game." Red Bird said rather annoyed. "I'd rather not waste any more of my time goofing off."
"Same here." Jason agreed. "What kind of vigilante would I be if I let crime happen anywhere while I'm sweating with sticky sunscreen on?"
"Sheesh, half of you guys are no fun." A female voice told them.
"Yeah, at least develop a sense to slow down will ya?" A similar voice recommended. The boys turned to see that the two girl Robins were now in swim suits. Stephanie in a yellow one piece swim suit while Carrie wore a red suit that showed more skin around her sides and back, but still completely covered her front. Jason stopped shooting altogether, Tim raised his shades and Richard gawked for a second before averting his eyes thinking of his girlfriend. It's not like they stared for attractive reasons, it was just the first time they saw their female co-workers in swimwear ever. Damian was the only one unfazed as he ignored them and continued training. That is for a few seconds before the obstacle course turned off. The youngest Robin gazed angrily at Carrie whom turned off the training grounds.
"Hey, I was using this!"
"Nope, you're going to actually use the beach and relax." Stephanie denied. "In fact..." Before the preadolescent could react, a big purple doughnut shaped float with a dinosaur head was stuck around him, rendering his arms stuck as he was carried to the water.
"Hey, no! Stephanie! You traitor! This is not how I was raised!"
"Well here's a little thing of fun 101: Go and enjoy yourself!" The Spoiler then literally chucked the former assassin into the water, winding up feet first. Jason laughed hard at the display.
"Haha! Alright, maybe a little break wouldn't hurt." Removing his hood, jacket, armor and weapons, Jason jumped into the water with a yell and splashed into the sea, going over to Red Bird to make sure he didn't drown.
"Hey Tim, why don't you come join us for a bit of volleyball?!" Stephanie asked her fellow Robin. Thinking about it, he shrugged.
"Alright."
"Let's make it a doubles match." Richard suggested. "Carrie, want to join me?"
"Sure." The college girl agreed.
After eating their pizza and having fun(for the most part) on the beach, the group of Robins have been playing a bit of a life sized game.
"I got it! I know who did it!" Richard cried it.
"You do?" All of them asked, playing a game of Hint.
"Yes. Now, we thought that General Quercitron here..." Richard pointed to Jason. "...did it with the revolver in the Lounge, but he wasn't anywhere near the room as he was in the Billiard Room shooting some billiard balls. Then..." He then pointed to Tim. "...We thought it was Dr. Cochineal who did it with the dagger in the library, but again he was no where near as he was observing insects in the Greenhouse. After that..." Looking at Damian "It was believed that Mr. Falu did it with the rope in the ballroom but once again he was no where near as he was in the lower halls with Miss Vanta..." Pointing at Carrie. "...who we thought had done it in the Dining Room with the candle stick. But alas, the part of the hallway the two were in was near the library."
"Oh, and you Legislator Lazuli..." Tim pointed at Richard. "...could have done it with the lead pipe in the Ballroom, but you were too busy in the Study studying for hints...and I just now realized how much that was filled with puns."
"Indeed. So the culprit must be you, Mrs. Fulvous!" Robin accused Stephanie. "You did it with the monkey wrench in the kitchen!"
"Well played detective." The girl clapped slowly with a smile. "Couldn't get past you, could I?"
"Yep. I am a master detective." All fun and games were over though when the crime alert came on.
"Yes, finally!" Red Bird pumped his fist. "Who's heads do we have to bash?"
"The Hive. They're our sworn enemies, and it appears they've taken the mayor hostage." Robin smiled. "This will be the fastest they'll be beaten. Let's go team. Robins, GO!"
Mayer Lee was tied up in rope as the Hive Five surrounded the mayor, with Brother Blood overseeing it all behind a control panel.
"Alright you no good politician, you're about to make a choice. Make superheroes in Jump City illegal or prepare to be annihilated with this!" Pressing a button, a giant drill with six revolving flamethrowers appeared out of the shadows from above.
"And for the record, I do hope you resist a little." Kyd Wykkyd chuckled malevolently. The villains began to make their maniacal laugh when one of the walls exploded. From the dust, all six Robins came to the rescue.
"Robin?! And who are all these other people?!" Gizmo questioned.
"No, it can't be." Brother Blood shook his head in disbelief at seeing the member with the red cowl and guns.
"This is my other team. Let's just say, at one point or another, we were all Robin!"
"What, there's six of you?!" Billy Numerous gasped. "Aw man they're multiplying like me! We need to get them now!"
"Yes, attack them! Attack them now!" BB yelled at his underlings in a demanding panicked state. The teens yelled as they all charged at each other. Robin went up against Kyd Wykked. The Boy Wonder tried to attack the new leader with his extendable staff, but the villain disappeared thanks to his teleportation. An arm wrapped around his throat as the vampire looking Hive member chuckled behind him.
"That demonic friend of yours may have beaten me, but you have no powers. How can you beat me when she needed to disable my powers to beat me?" He taunted, but Robin gave a forced chuckle.
"When have I needed powers to beat you guys before?" Taking two ammunition disks, he placed them Kyd Wykkyd's sides before escaping by jamming both elbows into his attacker's ribs and stomping on his toe.
"Ow!" Was all he had to say as he let go of Robin and hopped on one foot holding his other, though this proved to be an unfortunate position to be stuck in as he was covered in fast covering, quick hardening foam, encasing all but his face in the stuff. Even when he tried teleporting, he couldn't get out due to teleporting it with him. Red Hood looked up as Gizmo smiled evilly as he used his backpack to stand on his mechanical spider legs, swishing and slashing them through the air all threateningly. Jason simply got a gun and took a shot at one of his mechanical legs. Thankfully due to fighting the Teen Titans for so long, Gizmo reacted and deflected the bullet with a bladed leg while looking surprised.
"Whoa whoa whoa! You can't shoot a kid! What kind of a monster are you?!" He called out the vigilante while backing off a bit.
"Come on, even I wouldn't shoot a baby like you. Just giving you a concussion will be good enough."
"A conc-ack!" A hanging light from the ceiling fell on his head, which was partially severed from the deflected bullet, eventually fell to do Red Hood's hard work for him. Jason then noticed that he was surrounded by Billy Numerous clones, and chuckled. "Would you like to see why I handle crowds better than one-on-one?" The roaring Mammoth was barreling down the tiny Red Wing, about to crush him with his pure size and strength. No way a little kid could beat him. That is until Damian ducked under a punch, and jabbed the butt of his sword into the back of his foe's knee, causing it to buckle. As Mammoth was forced to take a knee, Damian climbed up his huge back and mounted on his neck, slamming his fists into the brute's ears. The goliath like villain cried out in pained fury as he grabbed Red Wing and was about to crush him before he had his adam's apple kicked in by the little hero. Choking since he could no longer breath, he was helpless as Damian jumped up, threw a birdarang into his back, and pressed his belt buckle upon landing, electrocuting the villain into submission as he fell.
"Hmph, too easy." Damian scoffed before going to join Red Hood. Carrie faced off against See-More, whom grinned mischievously.
"Something you should know, the good thing about having a helmet that gives me all sorts of ocular powers, is that I can use X-Ray. Even against my foes." The girl yelped as she instinctively covered herself. "Got ya!" The peeping villain tried to attack with an eye blast, but even with adjustment to his helmet, it didn't do anything. "Huh?" Again and again he tried, but regardless of what setting he used, it wouldn't work. "Why won't this dang thing work!" See-More was so focused on why his helmet wasn't working, he didn't notice when Carrie came flying in and gave a mid-air kick to his head, knocking him down onto his butt hard. Groggy, he mumbled incoherent words of pain before being kicked in the side by Carrie.
"Thanks for the assist Red Robin." She told her friend whom had a hacking device.
"Welcome. Little jerk had it coming." And finally, it was Brother Blood vs Stephanie, the fifth Robin, The Spoiler. The master-mind villain laughed.
"You'll find I'm not so easily taken down. I have the power to take control of minds. You won't even lay a hand on me."
"Oh yeah? I bet I don't even need to." The confident woman boasted. That really got BB to laugh.
"Alright then, take your best shot if you're not going to hit me." Oh how he wished he hadn't said that. She closed her eyes and began to speak.
"In Stutter Asylum, Theodore Dannyson is the detective who figured out who escaped the Asylum!"
"Hey, I was going to watch that movie tonight! Don't ruin it for me!" Brother Blood called out, but she kept going.
"In Primitive Phobia, there was never an Adam, as Ron had split personality disorder!"
"Shut up! I never got to finish that movie!" The mad man jumped over his console to attack her directly, but her reflexes made hitting her rather difficult.
"In Extrasensory, the psychologist was dead all along and he didn't know it!"
"You're spoiling everything for me! Don't you know how evil spoiling trolls are?!" He screamed in rage.
"In Nebular Wars, Dark Invader...is Luthor's father."
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Brother Blood screamed as he only saw the first one, and now that mystery was ruined for him forever. Steph took this opportunity to kick him hard in the face, knocking him out. Tying him up, The Spoiler cheered,
"We won guys! Man that felt good. How did you-?" She didn't get to finish that question since everyone: her teammates, any remaining conscious villains and the mayor stared at her disapprovingly. "What?"
"You just ruined three good movies for everyone in this room!" Tim yelled at her. "The lucky ones here are the knocked out villains because they couldn't listen to you!"
"Eh, so what?" Damian shrugged. "Movies are just a waste of time staring at a tv screen for hours on end. Now come on, let's free the mayor and turn these guys in."
After a week, it was time for the Robins to go back to Gotham or places that were like Gotham.
"Wow, it sure has been fun Richard. Thanks for inviting us over." She hugged her fellow Robin.
"Right back at you Stephanie." He chuckled in response.
"Nice to see that our daily training has at least brought you back to optimal condition." Jason added.
"Yeah, now I can actually respect your martial skill again." Damian said, being backhandedly complimentive.
"See you back in Gotham." Tim nodded.
"Same for you."
"We should do this again maybe next year!" Carrie suggested.
"You bet." Richard agreed as they also hugged. Robins 2-6 then got into the bat-plane, and set off for the East Coast. Smiling, Robin headed inside, went to the living room, sat on the couch, and began to watch some TV when all the rest of the titans came back.
"Yo Robin, we back!" Beast Boy called out. Starfire went to her boyfriend to kiss him passionately.
"Oh how I have missed you Boyfriend Robin. Silky's illness was quite stubborn, but the herbs on my planet were able to beat it."
"I'm glad to here that." He responded, looking down at the cute pet larva.
"So, what did you do while we were gone." Jinx asked the titan leader.
"Oh, nothing special. Just took down Brother Blood last week with all my Robin buddies." Everyone was silent before Raven asked,
"There's more of you?"
A/N: Well, that was interesting. Just so you know, to those of you that know what movies I've referenced, the spoilers I mentioned are either ones that everyone probably knows already like the Star Wars thing or are descriptions that don't really say what the real twist is in the movies so you can still enjoy the movies first time if you haven't watched them.
Anyway, I have something to ask you all, and not just Eris. For Vegetables, I'm caught between two variations of the same plot. I want to make the episode in a way reminiscent of the Chowder episode A Taste of Marzipan. Do you want me to A. Have each half of the titans make their own stands where one represents vegetables and the other meat, a BB vs Cy thing, or should I have all the titans representing fruits and vegetables face off against Mother Mae-Eye and her hypnotizing sweets? Please let me know. Otherwise I don't know how to fix Vegetables since I'm saving Eris's plot suggestion about Vegetables for Smile Bones. Please let me know. Thanks.
