Hey peoples. Does anyone know if we're allowed to respond to reviewers or not? I keep hearing conflicting reports. Otherwise, I'd thank you all by name. I'm sorry that this took awhile to get up—I just started high school on Monday. I'm seriously gonna need all the reviews I can get. I have a basic sketch of the plot in my mind, but if it changes along the way, you were warned.
Italics are either a flashback or someone thinking.
Oh, and in case anyone who hasn't read "Joker's Wild" is reading this, you might wanna read that first. You might not know what's going on otherwise. Okay, I think that's all…here's Chapter One of "Ace in the Hole!"
She turned and headed back towards the tower, in particular, to a boy standing at the beach's edge, beckoning her towards him. She increased her speed, dropping her hands down to inches above the water.
Robin called to her. "C'mon, Star, the movie's starting!" She nodded at him, and increased her velocity even more, as larger and larger waves began to form beneath her gliding form as a result of her speed.
As she neared Robin, her hands dipped down into the ocean's balmy waters. She quickly took aim at the Boy Wonder, who still had no idea what was going on. Finally, as she drew within feet of the water's edge, she cupped her hands underneath the surface and formed small, weak starbolts. He finally realized what she was doing, and turned to run for it. But it was too late. The starbolts exploded underwater, and a small wave crashed onto him.
Starfire landed, giggling innocently, as Robin lifted himself up from the sand on which he had face-planted. He walked over to her, covered in sand, with a fake scowl plastered on his face.
"Robin!" Starfire cried upon seeing the look on his face, and thinking it was real. "I am so sorry, Robin, but I could not resist, and…" he put a finger on her lips to silence her. He grinned flirtatiously at her.
"Just tell the others I need to take a shower before I can watch. And…" he said slowly, running his finger along her jaw line, as Star watched, amused, at Robin's behavior. "You might have to deal with the consequences." Her eyes widened and she smirked at him.
"What consequences might those be, Robin?" To answer her, Robin pulled her face near his and kissed her heatedly, and then abruptly pulled away. Starfire's face was covered in sand. She scowled at him.
Starfire opened her mouth to let off a retort, but was cut off by their teammates' yells to hurry up.
"Robin! Star! C'mon, hurry up! I don't wanna miss this movie!" Beast Boy screamed, jumping up and down. "Dude, why are you covered in sand?" he asked, as Robin and Starfire jogged up to them. Starfire giggled as Robin blushed deeply, and scowled at Beast Boy.
"None of your business. Look, let me just wash off really quick and…" he looked up. Even from outside, the Titans could hear their alarm.
"Titans, GO!"
Red X blasted down the door to the electronics store. With luck, he could grab a few TVs and computers, scare a couple passerby, and jet out before the Titans showed up. He quickly tied up the employees using only simple rope, and none of his X-goo, (what the heck is that stuff?) as he no longer had his suit's utility belt.
X grabbed as many electronic devices he could carry, (two MP3 players, a laptop, and a small TV), and dashed out the door. Normally, he would have been able to take much more, but because of his loss of the utility belt, he had no support on the tech end, making it just him and a few crude weapons, against the world. Not even a getaway van. He sighed as he opened a sewer's manhole. Gotta make a living…
Just before X could climb into the sewer, the lid glowed black and slammed back down, narrowly missing X's face. He leaped up, and stared back at the battle-ready faces of the Teen Titans.
"Surprised to see me?" X asked in his trademark mechanical voice.
"Surprised you'd try to pull a job without the belt. I thought you were smarter than that, X," Robin smirked at him.
"At least I'm not covered in sand." X smirked back at Robin, knowing what was coming next.
Robin's eyes narrowed, and he pointed heroically at X. "Titans, GO!" Immediately, a sonic cannon blast swept X off his feet and slammed him into a nearby dumpster. The lid shut with a resounding crash.
Beast Boy, in the form of a rhino, charged down the dumpster, in which X was still entrapped. He closed in, and, in one sweep of a mighty horn, catapulted it high into the sky. It soared over the head's of four of the Titans, as the fifth took flight.
Starfire readied her starbolts as the dumpster drew nearer. Finally, with a loud battle cry, she bombarded the flying dumpster with a steady stream of starbolts. The dumpster exploded, and X fell to the ground, defeated and unconscious.
Robin grinned. He hadn't moved since they had confronted Red X. "Nice job, team." He glanced at Starfire, who beamed back, as the police's sirens resounded behind them, announcing the authority's presence. The officers professionally and rapidly cuffed X's waking form, loading him into a patrol car.
"All right!" Cyborg punched the air above his head. "Who wants waffles?" Beast Boy grabbed Raven and shoved her into the T-car, which was parked nearby. Cyborg climbed into the driver's seat, while Robin and Starfire got in behind him. Robin turned to Cyborg.
"I can take a shower when we get home, right?"
Slade watched the Titans' victory through a screen in his underground hideaway, the eyehole in his mask narrowly slightly.
His voice echoed through the room. "Yes, celebrate, young Titans. For you shall soon find," he paused for a moment, as the on-screen Cyborg gave a particularly raucous cheer, "that there will be nothing to celebrate about."
"You mean we can't have a party?" These words hung in the air, as their originator stepped forth, out of the darkness.
Joker, cackling all the while, skidded in on a wheelie-chair. He stopped next to Slade and the TV screen he was watching, spinning on the spot in his chair.
"We will have a party, but as for the Titans…" Slade's sentence drifted off, as he observed his colleague, who had now stopped spinning suddenly.
Joker menacingly jerked his finger across his neck in an emphatic, threatening gesture. "…It'll be curtains.."
Okay, there's chapter one. Like I said, I seriously need reviews. I would also enjoy it if you guessed what was going to happen, but that's just for my own sadistic entertainment. Please review! I think this chapter was okay, but…if it wasn't, please tell me! I thought it was only kinda mediocre.
