I do not own Teen Titans

Outside of Jump City on a small island there is a large T-shaped building, home to the cities' defenders: the Teen Titans. Their T-ship descends down upon it as the Titans return from their vacation in Tokyo, Japan.

First to enter the building is the green changeling, Beast Boy, "Dude, Tokyo was awesome!" he yelled enthusiastically into the building, while carrying many souvenirs.

"Yeah, but it's still great to be back in my tower. Who Wants Some Waffles?" Yelled the half-man half-machine, Cyborg, as he entered the kitchen and placed a chef's cap on his head.

"Yes I would like some of the waffles with much of the mustard." Answered the alien princess, Starfire; with her arms around her new boyfriend and leader, Robin. "I am also most joyful to be back home, I may just create some of the pudding of homecoming. Who will join me in its consumption?" This question led to disgusted looks from the other members of the team.

"Why don't we hold off on that till later Star?" asked Robin.

"Alright" she answered before she headed towards the kitchen. Then came in the last member of the team the dark empath, Raven; her and Robin just looked on at the antics of their fellow members.

"Looks like some things never change, eh Raven?" he asked his teammate, but she just slightly nodded and headed off towards her room. He looked at her slightly concerned and followed after her. "Hey, Raven wait!"

She looked back at him, "What is it Robin?" she asked in her usual monotone voice.

"It's just that I feel like you've been ignoring me. I can't recall you speaking to me the entire time in Tokyo." He said while looking at her concerned. Raven only looked down at the ground as if considering something, and as she looked like she was about to respond- the alarm blares throughout the tower.

"Looks like duty calls" was what Raven decided on saying instead. He only looked at her uncertainly but then nodded.

"TITANS GO!"

1,2,3,4 GO…TEEN TITANS

"VACATION'S OVER"

The Titans arrived at the source of the disturbance which happened to be an ordinary bank robbery. "Man, just when we get back from vacation we have to go right to work" Beast Bow complained.

"Like I said crime never sleeps" was Robin's response.

"Well it look like it's just three normal robbers, must have gotten cocky while we were gone." Was Cyborg's opinion.

"Remember to go easy on them, don't want to hurt these guys too badly" Robin told them.

"Forget it man, these guys ruined my me time I was gonna have" Beast Boy said angrily.

"We just came back from a vacation and you still wanted some 'me' time. I would think that you would have been sick of yourself by now, like anyone else would." Raven said to him causing Beast Boy murmur to himself some negative remarks.

Inside, three armed robbers wearing ski masks are cleaning out the money in the bank vault into sacks. Then the doors burst open with the Titans standing there, "TITANS GO!" was Robin's command as they sprang into action. The titans sent attacks towards the robbers of birdarangs, star bolts, dark energy, sonic blasts and teeth. But before they could reach the robbers were surprisingly agile and evaded the assault and escaped out of the bank.

"Dudes, what just happened?" Beast Boy asked perplexed.

"Come on team we can't let them get away" Robin ordered as they chased after them.

They chased after the robbers into an alley where they watched as they acrobatically bounced off the walls onto the roofs of the buildings. "These guys may not be as ordinary as we thought" was Cyborgs thoughts after he watched their feat. They flew and bird-clawed their way onto the roof and continued the pursuit.

Beast Boy, as a pterodactyl, was able to reach one of the robbers and lifted him up into the air with his claws. The robber struggled in his grasp, and with a kick he was able to get free. He fell down several stories towards the ground. They all watched in horror as he fell, but the splatter they expected never came and they saw that he had hit the ground on his feet unscathed cracking the pavement.

"Okay, now I'm sure these guys ain't normal" was Cyborg's belief after seeing that.

"All right team looks like we don't have to hold back after all" Robin told them. And with that the Titans went all out, with Cyborg blasting one of them down and Beast Boy landing down on him as a gorilla. Starfire took down the second one with her eye blasts, while Raven wrapped a street lamp around him like a rope.

"Just one more to go" Robin said as he chased down the last perp. He threw a device that tied up his legs causing him to fall. Robin got to him and turned him over, "Who are you?" he asked as he removed the ski mask. Once the mask was off Robin eyes behind his domino mask shot up in shock, then down in anger. The face was that of a robot; one half gold the other half black. "Slade!" Robin hissed the name out with venom in his voice.

He removed the robots face-plate and there was a screen which came on and the man in question appeared. "Ah, Robin, it's been a long time, how was Tokyo?" Slade tried to banter with Robin, but he only received a steely glare. "You don't seem happy to see me after all this time. How long has it been, since that whole Trigon fiasco I believe. Oh, and I was also meaning to thank you and your team for getting rid of that pesky brotherhood, they would have been a nuisance in my goal for global conquest."

"I will stop whatever you're planning here!" Robin finally was able to get out after slightly cooling down.

"What this? This wasn't part of any scheme, I had just heard that the Titans were back and this is my way of welcoming you all back home" he explained with slight amusement in his voice. This only earned an angry growl from Robin.

"Now, if you'll excuse me I have other matters I must attend to, I'll be seeing you Robin, and again welcome back" and as he said that the screen turned off only to be replaced by a timer of five seconds. Robin had to jump back quickly and covered himself with his cape to take the brunt of the explosion, as the timer reached zero.

BOOM!

His cape had taken it enough to survive but the blast still fazed him and he was soaring through the air.

"ROBIN!" all his friends screamed as they saw him. Raven used her powers to catch him in the air and slowly lower him.

Starfire flew up and cradled him in her arms, "Robin! Please, do the speaking to me!" She continued to shake him in her arms, until he started to come to. "Robin, oh you are the okay!" She shouted as she continued to hold him close cradled in her arms like a child.

Robin looked around and noticed bystanders finding their position amusing causing blood to rush to Robin's face. "Uh, Starfire can you please let me down this is a little uncomfortable" Robin asked as she looked at him confused.

"What do you mean Robin?"

"I just mean-" Robin began to say as he removed himself from her hold, but as he planted his feet on the ground his body seemed to not handle the wait and began to fall forward to be caught by Cyborg.

"Woah man we gotta get you checked out" he said as he led him to the T-car.

Back at the Tower

Robin was in the medical center being healed by Raven with a concerned Starfire looking on. "Alright that should do it you should be all better" Raven informed him.

"Thanks," Robin thanked and he received a nod in return.

Starfire then quickly came up to him and engulfed him in a powerful hug. "Robin you had me so the worried"

"Uh, yeah Starfire I'm fine now could you let go?"and with that she released him from his grip. "Also Star could you lay back on doing stuff like that in public, I know we're dating now but it's a little embarrassing." Robin told her and Starfire seemed to be slightly effected by his words.

"Calm down, Boy Wonder, she was just worried. No need to get your tights in a bunch Dick"

"Friend Raven!" Starfire exclaimed in shock.

Raven only looked at her in confusion at her reaction, "Yes Starfire?" Raven wondered what her problem was.

"There is no need for language such as that" she explained. Raven understood what the problem was now, but was still confused as to why Star would think this.

"Uh, no Starfire, I was just using, you know, Robin's real-" she began to explain until she saw Robin behind Starfire giving the kill sign as if telling her not to tell her. She wasn't sure what the problem was but she decided to just leave the room without saying another word.

Later that day

Raven found Robin in his room just looking for clues on Slade now that he's back. This looks familiar; hopefully he won't go overboard again,were Raven's thoughts as she saw him. "So," were the words she used so that he would notice that she was there, "you want to tell me why I had to make Starfire think I'm a potty mouth"

He only looked down and answered, "sorry about that, but we've only been dating for a short time I think I should wait a little before I tell about the me behind the mask. I mean it's not like I ever directly told you this stuff about me" he explained his reasons to her and she seemed to understand.

"Now don't think I've forgotten about our earlier conversation about you avoiding me" Robin brought back their unfinished business. Raven seemed taken by surprise she had forgotten about that and she didn't know how to respond. "So are you gonna say something before the alarm goes off again?" he questioned with slight amusement.

"I-I, ugh…" Raven stuttered and then sighed in defeat. "It's just that with you and Starfire getting together I just thought I should give you some space, since you'd want to spend more time with her then the rest of us."

Robin was surprised by her confession, it wasn't like her to admit something like that, but it was like her to care about the rest of the team she just never really showed it. "Raven, there's no reason to think that way. If I thought that this relationship with Star would get in the way with the way I act around the rest of the team I wouldn't want any part of it." He told her with all seriousness. "Now to prove it why don't we do something the two of us; something where I can learn something new about you" Robin offered.

"You already know more about me than anyone else" was Raven unsure response.

"But that's not knowing everything, and I'm sure you'll think of something" he told her with a kind smile.

She fought back a blush and nodded, "Alright, I'll get back to you with something" he nodded happily and she left the room.

Robin then resumed with his research, but unbeknownst to him he was being watched. From that explosion earlier a hidden listening device was implanted somewhere on his person. Somewhere hidden away in a dark part of the city Slade watches and listens in. "Ah, the drama that is adolescence, enjoy it now Titans for soon it will all be over."
