One afternoon, Cyborg came home with groceries, and yelled at his friends, whom were watching TV.
"Hey, guess what I've got!"
"What bro?" Beast Boy responded. The mechanical titan then took out six whole cartons of ice cream.
"A new limited edition of Minty Lemon flavor!"
"Hmm, that sounds good Cy." Jinx hummed from the interesting flavor combo. "Who made it?"
"I never heard of the company before, but it says its limited edition, its premium, and the two flavors go together so well, let's try it!" Going to the kitchen, they each got a bowl and took a bite.
"Oh my goodness! The creamed ice of the minty citrus is delicious!" Starfire praised the dessert.
"I could's eat this for days!" Beast Boy agreed before shoving his face into his own separate carton to scarf it all down.
"Well, this is really good, but we can't eat this all the time or we'll get fat." Robin warned. But as it would turn out, Robin would suspiciously forget this whenever more ice cream was brought in. It became Jump City's new hottest ice cream flavor and everyone was buying. However, by the time one month passed, things were getting a bit tight for the titans. Robin was trying to put on his belt buckle but was struggling to put it on. Taking a deep breath, he managed to clip it. Letting it out, the Boy Wonder would find that his stomach poked out over his belt, which then popped off. Beast Boy was also having some difficulty trying to put his pants on as they were skin tight, and the extra fur and now somewhat larger butt made it tighter. Finally managing to put his pants on, he sighed as he sat down, only to hear a rip. Blushing, the green shapeshifter sat up and saw his underwear through a hole in his pants.
"Oops." The teen said. Starfire was still thin for the most part, but visible any weight the Tamaranian gained went to her waist and thighs which was proving difficult with her boots, as they would not slide up all the way. With all her strength she tried to pull them up, but that just ripped the latex and thus ruined her boots, causing the alien princess to tear up. Supposedly Raven got the it the most painful when she snapped her fingers to teleport her clothes on, and found it incredibly tight. Looking down, the sorceress gasped when she saw some belly fat sticking out through the leg holes, like her stomach couldn't be contain inside her uniform anymore.
"I've got to go on a diet." The girl sighed. As the titans came for breakfast, minus Jinx for some reason, it appeared that the only one who was unaffected was Cyborg, due to having no natural body to get fat.
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?" The cybernetic titan asked. Beast Boy was wearing his pajama pants, Starfire came in without her boots, and Raven was extra protective about keeping her cloak closed.
"Just a little weight gain is all." Robin tried to pass off. "We've just been going overboard with the ice cream. With a proper diet and more rigorous excersice we'll be back in optimal condition in no time." It was then that Jinx came in, a little red in her normally grey face as it appeared her gut was really packed into her dress, since it was going through a noticeable muffin top. She tried to sit down with the rest, but that proved to be a mistake for her dress ripped completely around her midsection, her belly spilling out and now appearing to have a midriff. The metahuman could only cry as she ran back to her room. A second month has passed and in the middle of a heat wave in late June, the titans were not doing so well considering they were now 50 pounds heavier each then when they first started eating the ice cream. Even as they tried to get to Cinderblock whom was destroying a random street, five of the six titans were too out of shape.
"Ugh. I think I'm going to throw up." Jinx stated woozily in her recently bough large pajamas.
"Come on friends, we can-" Starfire was interrupted when her belt buckle popped off, and she yelped by trying to hold her skirt in place, for eventually even her lower abdomen was getting too big.
"Can't...breathe." Raven gasped for air as she fell back, her engorged belly ripping out of the constraints of her leotard and jiggled like jelly for a bit. Luckily it only ripped above the groin part of her outfit so her modesty was still intact.
"How did...we get so...out of shape?!" Robin wheezed, using his staff just to keep himself up. Her stomach was also pushing his shirt and bottom apart.
"That ice cream's...too delicious dude." Beast Boy replied, literally having came to the fight in only his underwear since nothing else he owned fit him. Looks like it was up to Cyborg to save the day.
"Don't worry titans! I'll smash this chunk of rock!" The metallic titan declared as he charged with a yell and punched Cinderblock in the face, blowing pieces off from the impact. Before it could recover, the villain was bombarded by sonic cannon blasts while Cyborg prepared his mini-missiles, firing them at the golem until he exploded, conviently landing in a way around Cyborg where it was a cinder block house which he exited out of.
"Cyborg...how come you aren't incapacitated?" The titan leader asked weakly.
"Cyborg body dude. Don't have fat. But you guys certainly do. You're on house lock down and an ice cream free diet."
"No! Do not make us give up the Minty Lemon!" Starfire pleaded.
"It's super yummy dude!" Beast Boy agreed.
"Want to protest...but I just want that ice cream so bad!" Robin struggled as he tried to get up.
"Something's not right with them. I'll have to study what's wrong." Taking his friends back home and forcing them into take an anesthetic so they gave no resistance, Cyborg studied their body compositions to see why they were so addicted. Not to mention how everyone in Jump City who could afford the ice cream were getting fat and addicted as well, and the poor were fighting other people to get at it. "What is it?" He asked himself as he tried finding the answer when an alert came up. Checking it, it was Devrie, all by herself and in her conservative civilian clothes at the front door of the tower. Allowing entry, he went to the living room where the flea girl found him and hugged him, her weird insect noises sounding like crying. "Devrie, what's wrong? Where's the others?" Devrie looked up, only to shake her head. "So they're under the effects too. I'm guessing you couldn't eat ice cream because of your biology right?" She nodded. Cyborg stooped down and gently put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry girl. I'll find out why this is happening. Come with me." Following the older titan into the infirmary, he studied his friends a bit more while Devrie was occupied playing one of Cyborg's handheld games.
"Wait, this chemical compound. This chemical is too addictive and not safe for human consumption. That must be why the city and our friends are going cray-cray. And the company that's using it, King's Ice Cream, is behind this. What do you say Devrie, want to help save our friends?" Pocketing Cyborg's game, she stood up and nodded. Driving over to a newly constructed factory which resembled a king's palace, it had what you would expect. Walls, guards, cameras and stuff. But what they wouldn't expect is an invisible car parking around the back. Getting out, Cyborg cut through the back wall, and they ran to the back of the building. Unfortunately, air ducts are out of the question due to Cyborg's huge and heavy body and Insectiva's odd legs. So like before he cut through the wall and moved it aside where they found themselves in a dark storage room. Exiting, they soon found an elevator that required clearance. Flipping his right index finger open, he produced a point which he stuck into the machinery to hack it. After a couple of minutes, the elevator doors opened and the two made their descent, taking a total of two minutes after pressing what looked like the most important button. Finally reaching the bottom floor, Cyborg, now alone somehow, entered a lair where a mechanical looking king sat. He aimed a sonic cannon at the chairman. "You! So you're the CEO, right?!"
"Indeed." The king answered in a completely robotic voice. "Call me the Dairy King."
"Any relation to the Queen with her Blizzards?" The titan asked.
"Not in the literal sense. I was a former head before being replaced. Said I was unhinged as a boss. So I created all this, including transferring my brain into this body. To become not just the biggest ice cream sensation, but also the ruler of the American food industry.
"Well then, looks like I'm going to have to sugar crash your plans Dairy King."
"Try if you can." Trowing off his kingly robe, the robot lifted a blaster which shot out cherry bomb ice cream. Cyborg evaded while blasting back, dodging the small explosions. Charging forward, he saw that Dairy King launched from his chest plates that opened up two missiles, which Insectiva came in and snatched them out of the air, throwing them off course to explode. "What?!" The corrupted CEO cried out before being blasted by Cyborg.
"Lent her something that made her temporally invisible." Grunting in annoyance, he tried firing more shots at Insectiva but with her jumping speed and mobility, she was way too fast for him too lock on.
"Hold still you-" A clothesline maneuver shut him up as he was slammed into the ground, thanks to the senior titan.
"Way to do distraction kid!" However, he was himself distracted when he failed to keep a double fudge brownie bomb being latched onto his chest from the king, and was blow back with a yell. A handle jutted itself out from where the Dairy King's spine would be, and what popped out was a sword with thin metal ice cream cone spikes acting as guards. Getting up, Cyborg took off his right had so it could also produce a blade from his forearm. The two mechanical fighters ran towards each other and clashed with sparks flying. The titan smirked as electricity flowed through his sword and into the King's electrocuting the villain.
"Ah! No!" It didn't help that while he was disabled for a second Devrie came in with a flying kick and smashed Dairy King through his thrown and into a wall, defeating him.
"Booyah!" The two heroes high fived. "I'd say you deserve an ice cream, but the situation doesn't make it a good taste." Devrie nodded while shrugging.
With Dairy King arrested, his company shut down and an antidote having been made, everyone was on the track of losing all the weight they accumulated.
"Come on guys! Just nine more laps to go!" Cyborg yelled into his megaphone for a hand while the others tried to run around the island, their fat jiggling around. Even the Tween Titans were there, only they had to do five laps.
"Why...aren't you running?!" Robin yelled at him.
"I don't have fat to burn off, and no muscle to grow, bro. So pick it up or it's another 10 laps!" The titans groaned while Cyborg laid back onto his beach chair while sipping some soda.
A/N: Well I guess that was something about Vegetables. I'm not sure if I actually fixed it or just replaced it with something else with a better climax with a fight, but it was cool having Cy and Devrie team up. Next is Video Game References. It has a villain in it throughout, and you'll never guess who it is.
