3rd POV:

Robin gives out a huge gasp sitting up seeing a large, partially lit atrium with several balconies running around the walls, with paintings hanging everywhere. He notices he's sitting in a wooden chair with wrists and ankles securely bound to it, "Huh?" Robin questions as he struggles against the restraints, but they won't budge. The lights now fully come up showing one Titan after the other and another guest Bounty Hunter, all with different constraints, Starfire with red energy rings, steel straps over Cyborg's chest, a white energy band encircling Raven's, giant rubber bands on Beast Boy's, and thick black metal bands on Bounty Hunter.

"What?" Cyborg questions, seeing what's happening around them.

"Huh? Am I the only one who has no idea where we are?" Beast Boy asks the other others

"Why, you're right where you belong, my duckies." They hear a male Cockney accent they l know as Beast Boy gasps seeing the man standing at an open set of double doors on one of the many balconies, the light from the others obscure him for a moment, but they can see a cane in one hand. They knew who it was Mad Mod. "You're in school!" He tells them and leaps onto the railing of the staircase sliding down, then lands near Starfire twirling his cane in one hand. "That's right, lads and loveys. You're the only students at Mad Mod's Institute for Bratty Teenage Do-Gooders." He tells them tossing his cane high to his other hand holding it out at them. "And it's high time someone taught you, sprogs, a lesson." As he finishes the floor with its black and white checkerboard pattern and the white light flares from the ruby and the Titans, appear scared and strained all from Robin to Beast Boy, but Bounty Hunter remains calm with a slight smirk hidden on her face.

"Uh-oh." Beast Boy panics as Mad Mod strolls towards them his ruby on the cane blazing as he nears then, raising the cane for a swing.

"Titans! Move!" Robin orders as they all try to move from their unbreakable bonds as Beast Boy cycles through reptile forms and Mad Mod steps around at the foot of the stairs twirling his cane.

"My Startbolts are useless!" Starfire announces shocked.

"Specially designed chairs, love." Mad Mod informs them leaning into her face. "Can't have those nasty superpowers disrupting my lecture now, can I?"

"Get away from her!" Robin roars at him, he straightens up glancing over at Robin, and thrusts his cane into his face, the ruby flaring up more intensely, and Robin recoils from the glare as far as he can.

"Now don't get your knickers in a twist, my little snot." Mad Mod backs off, "I didn't go to all the trouble of building this school and filling your Tower with knockout gas just to finish you off lickety-split." He assures them, the Titans look to their right to the end where Bounty Hunter sat in her restraints not making eye contact.

"Then what do you want?" She asks him with venom like tone.

"Just what I said, dearie." He answers getting in her face. "To teach you lot a lesson!" He turns away from them scratching himself. "Yes, I've been watching you, children misbehave. And I hate misbehaving children." He points his cane off to one side, showing them the wall with images of Cyborg and Raven beating on Thunder and Lightning. "Fighting crime." Another image shows Robin and Starfire cradling kittens they had just rescued from a blazing fire behind them. "Saving lives." The next one of Beast Boy as a dog pulling down Plasmus' shorts. "Interfering with the plans of hardworking villains. Why you lot are nothing but a bunch of troublemakers!" He points his cane around, at each of the captives who give him different expressions of anger. "But you'll learn your place soon enough. You see, I'm older than you, so I'm bigger, badder, and better." Bounty Hunter 'tch' earning a bash on the head from Mad Mod's cane, she grows madder and tries to break through her restraints.
