Alright, I'm kind of new at this so this being my first fic if it's
really bad just bear with me and maybe I'll get better with practice. Well
here goes, and tell me what you think at the end.
Robin, the Boy Wonder, landed with a sharp thud on the rooftop of a Lexcorp building. Retracting his bird-a-rang he made his way towards the edge of the building. Robin surveyed the city and began to think about the past events of no more than a few weeks.
Their day had been the usual (or as usual as the day could be for the Titans). Two prisons on two different sides of the city had experienced jailbreaks and required the team to split up somewhat. Needless to say they were extremely tired. So tired that they would never expect the Justice League to come knocking at their door. Beast Boy laid out the welcome mat by groveling at Superman's feet. "We're not worthy, we're not worthy". Apparently Beast Boy forgot they were superheroes too. Superman then explained how the League would be disbanding and most of the members would be going their separate ways.
"What does that have to do with us", asked Robin. There was a murmur of agreement among the League as if to make one final note of approval.
"With the end of the Justice League, we have decided to hand down our responsibilities to you", replied Superman. Well you can imagine the shock that followed this answer. After hours of talking and discussing of the problems they were sure to face when looking after the entire world, The Justice League departed Titan's Tower and began their own individual journeys. How could it be done, how just the six of them look after the whole planet? How could-
"Robin. Robin?" Robin suddenly snapped out of his thoughts to hear a voice over his com-link. He picked it up and recognized Starfire's voice.
"Sorry Star", he said still looking out to the city. "What is it?"
"We require your assistance down Abington St. as soon as possible".
"Gotcha, I'm on my way.
In the Police supply building down Abington St., many officers now lay dead or unconscious while a tall figure moved towards what used to be a high security vault. He had black hair with a streak of white in it, his eyes were the greyest of grey and he had a small scar on the right side of his face. He wore a black leather jacket which came down to his knees. The most noticeable feature about him though was his left arm, it was artificial. His entire left side for that matter (save his neck and head), was made up of mechanical limbs and insides. He approached the vault a raised his robotic arm and opened his index finger to reveal a small cutting torch. Using this he cut out the locking knob and release lever and pulled the door open. Inside were several compartments but one in particular. It was behind a Plexiglas shield which also seemed to be a new tempered make. He walked up to it and tapped the glass slightly. Then with a small smile he punched a hole right through the shield. Inside the container was a small computer chip no bigger than your thumb.
"Tiny chip, big money", he said quietly to himself. He picked it up and placed it in a steel case on his belt clip. As soon as he turned to go however he came face to face with the Teen Titans.
"I'm gonna go on a limb and say your not a member of the police force. So you'd better hand the chip over or you'll be wishing they got to you first", said Robin gesturing toward the fallen policemen. The man raised an eyebrow and continued forward.
"So are you kids doing some kind of community service thing or what", he asked mockingly.
"Verrry funny man", said Cyborg taking out his cannon.
"And you are", asked Raven as if she cared.
"Shrapnel will do", said the man. He then brought out his own blaster from his arm and wasting no time opened up on the Titans.
"TITANS GO!" Shouted Robin They separated as the blast went straight for them. Laughing like a mad man Shrapnel let loose shot after shot after shot. From behind little barricades Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven sent their own ordinance after him. Dodging all of their attacks Shrapnel made his way for the nearest exit. The dust cleared as Beast Boy saw him leave. He pointed in that direction and Robin stood back up.
"TITANS AFTER HIM!" shouted Robin as he took off out the door.
They soon found themselves running (or flying) atop the roofs of buildings near the marketplace. They came to a screeching halt after temporarily loosing sight of him. Then out of nowhere Shrapnel jumped out stuck each of them with a small disk. Raven then flew after him only to find that she couldn't fly. Beast Boy couldn't change, Cyborg became immobilized, Robin was receiving a series of electric shocks, Starfire's starbolts died out and she was also unable to fly. Shrapnel had disabled their powers and abilities.
With a smirk Shrapnel darted in the opposite direction apparently triumphant. Star was the fastest one who was able to walk at that point so she took off after him. She ran as fast as she could behind while trying to pull the disk off of herself. Noticing that she was behind him Shrapnel took a sharp right and somehow managed to jump fifty feet to the next roof top. Star's eyes widened as she was nearly successful in pulling off her disk. She got closer and closer to the edge as she felt small amounts of her power returning. Running faster and faster she pulled off the disk just as she jumped the edge throwing herself well onto the other side.
Landing gracefully Starfire charged up her fists and began to look around. There were a lot of large air-conditioning units around, which provided a lot of cover for someone lying in wait. Shrapnel stepped out from around the corner and pointed his arm at her. Seeing him out of the corner of her eye Star leapt to one side just as he fired a small missile at her.
"You are either the brains or just the brawn of the group", said Shrapnel circling her. "Pulling off the patch was smart; however, coming after me was not". Star had heard enough she fired her eye beams at his feet hoping to knock him off balance. He dodged the blasted and threw a grenade in her direction; it went off and sent her flying against a wall. When she looked back up Shrapnel had gone.
"Who is this guy", asked Star. She got up went to rejoin her friends.
