Prologue

The full moon shone down on a park in jump city. On this Halloween night all was quiet, which came as a surprise to the Titans, seeing as it would follow reason that villains would like this day of all of them. Without much to do they celebrated the day by participating in a community fall festival.

Beast boy volunteered to sit on the platform at the dunk the clown booth, a role he was well suited for. He was wearing a striped swim suit with a rubber duck inner tube and a snorkel mask on his head.

Starfire sat at the kissing booth, where she found out a lot more guys wanted kisses from her than she thought. The line on her side went on for a mile, or so it seemed.

Cyborg ran the mighty man game, where you take a huge hammer and slam it on a springboard that sends a weight flying upward; if you hit the bell you win a prize. The prize was fifty dollars and a gift certificate to the Toys for Boys toy store chain.

Raven and Robin were telling scary tales around a campfire. Raven had several plush dolls that she controlled with her magic and Robin provided the voice for some of the dolls, as did she. She was having a blast, which threw Robin for a pleasant loop.

Robin imitated a sire. "M' lady it is unwise to be out at this ungodly hour. Strange beasts lurk in these woods."

Raven played along. "Oh good sir what shall I do? Who will protect such a helpless maiden?" She hid a cringe at her horrid acting but the kids were leaning forward wanting to know what will happen next.

Robin looked at her and smiled. "Fear not for I will protect you from what my lady. No foul beast will lay a hand, nay' a paw, on you."

Raven's magic caused the sire plushie to pull out a straw that Robin cut down for an impromptu sword. Suddenly two huge cat plush animals jumped onto the table, starling two young girls watching. Their came a growl from the cat plush animals, which was actually a recording they asked Beast boy to provide prior to the festival, to which he was more than happy to do.

The festival lasted until eleven o' clock at night and it took the titans thirty minutes to get back to the tower.

Beast boy was grinning widely and feeling really good about being able to make kids laugh.

Starfire sighed as she recalled a rather forward boy, who clumsily tried to kiss her on the lips. He wasn't an ugly boy, but it was obvious he had never kissed a girl before. Her nose was still a bit sore from his bumping into it. She thought the experience would be more pleasant than it was. Instead she was really glad it was over. Her face and lips were sore from all the boys wanting kisses. "I feel like a fuggleporf."

Beast boy looked at her. "A what?"

She held her hands up in the air as if she had one in her hands. "An extremely irresistibly cute and furry creature that tameranian girls get for their birthdays when they are younger. They are pets, similar to kittens.

Beast boy nodded. "Oh…."

When the Titans got back they went to their respective rooms to try to get a good nights rest.

The night grew late and a lanky shadow landed on top of the Tower. It looked around and lifted a large object, the silhouette was menacing. The object had a curved blade and a knurled shaft, with two handles. Cackling in the moonlight it pulled out a small vial from its pants pocket. Suddenly it ran down the stairs toward the roof top entrance to the Tower. Carefully it picked the lock and entered, then moved toward the hallway leading to the Titans room.

Meanwhile a large green vine climbed up the side of the Tower toward a window.

Inside the Tower the normal sleeping routine of each of the teens carried on. Beastboy lay on his bed on top of the sheets sprawled out and drooling. Robin had fallen asleep in front of his computer after looking at the profiles of the recent super criminals that had struck. Cyborg lay on his bed plugged into a nearby outlet; recharging. Starfire was cuddling her large teddy bear she had convinced Robin to get her and Raven was in a deep yet extremely calm dream.

Outside Robin's window the vine lifted up and the form of an attractive woman sitting on it appeared. In the bright moonlight her red hair glistened. She smirked as she spied the young Robin. "Ah… So this is where you've gotten off to Robin. So you have finally crawled out of the shadow of Batman's cape and struck out on your own." She reached into a pouch at her side and pulled out three long spikes, she preceded to place them on her fingers. She reached out and touched the glass.

The lanky figure made its way toward each room and paused outside each. Tonight was especially ripe with fear given the date. It breathed in as it smiled. "Yes children, dream your disgustingly pleasant dreams while you can. Soon enough you will dream nothing but the worst nightmares known to mankind." It moved on and stopped outside of a room at the end of the hall, it stopped. "A familiar smell, yes. Ah… The bat's scrawny protégé, yes, his fear is strong. He will be the first." The figure extended its withered fingers toward the knob and slowly turned it. The door opened without a sound.

Poison Ivy looked toward the door and saw a figure creep in. She glared at him and growled under her breath. "Dr. Crane I presume. I never would have imagined you'd be out and about on Halloween." She remarked sarcastically as the vine lowered her out of sight.

Scarecrow felt another presence and looked toward the window; the source of the feeling. He saw no one there and continued to creep toward Robin. He opened the vial and stuck it under Robin's nose. The liquid inside was odorless, and colorless. It wafted into Robin's nostrils and settled there. Unbeknownst to Scarecrow someone had followed him to the tower and was busy tracking him down.

Batman looked around as he entered the tower via the lounge. "Hmm…" He said as he moved through the room toward the hall, he stopped as he saw a figure exit Robin's room. He ducked into the darkness and hid.

Ivy rose again and resumed cutting the glass and saw that Scarecrow was gone. She slowly took the glass disc and stuffed it into her pouch; she wasn't about to reveal her presence. A vine crept through the newly cut hole, in its grip was a vial filled with a pink colored liquid. The liquid was a poison which slowly killed the target by making them hopelessly love someone they didn't think they had feelings for. This was revenge plain and simple. It was a revenge that was worthy of the apprentice of her rival, he was at an age where hormones were at a peak and the need to be loved was strong.

The vine tentacle stuck the vial of the odorless pink liquid under Robin's nose and he breathed it in, it met with Scarecrow's liquid and bonded to it.

Robin scratched his nose as he slept and laid his head back down on the desk and resumed his rest.

Scarecrow walked into the lounge and spun around. A fist hit his face full force. He flew back and tumbled over the sofa. He stood up and wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth with the back of his withered hand. "Ah… Batman I see Halloween is also you're favorite night of the year. Tonight is my playground. You're stepping on my turf."

Batman rose to his full height. "I've been in your backyard. It's nothing more than a glorified sandbox." He jumped over the sofa and grabbed Crane by the collar. "What are you doing here Crane?"

Scarecrow laughed in his face. "Visiting an old friend and I believe you know him. His fear was the strongest I just had to infect him first. It's too late for your apprentice Batman. He will live in his worst nightmare the rest of his life."

Batman glared at Scarecrow but was interrupted when a crash came from Robin's room. He let go of Crane and ran to see if Robin was in trouble.

Scarecrow laughed toward Batman. "You will not save him. He is doomed. How wonderful." He ran toward the door and onto the roof.

Poison Ivy had retreated toward the roof after Robin had finally woken up. He had thrown one of his discs at her, crashing through the window and slicing one of the vines in two. She cursed at him and jumped onto the roof.

Batman kicked down the door and entered.

Robin looked at him in surprise. "Bruce? What are you doing here?"
