Bounty Hunter - Teen Titans (No. 5)

Winners Reward

3rd POV:

At Titans Tower, in the operations centre, at the table, the Titans minus Terra plus Bounty Hunter sit around with a pile of cards in the middle, each with a natural element: lightning, moon, and so forth. "Fire beats Wood." Raven declares as she places down the card.

"But Water beats Fire," Cyborg says putting down the card.

"Sun dries up Water." Beast Boy says putting down his card.

"And Thunderstorm blocks out Sun." Robin boasts putting the card down.

"And finally, Gail-force Winds blow Thunderstorm away." Bounty Hunter exclaims putting her card down on top.

"I'm out," Raven calls putting her cards aside.

"Me too." BB agrees.

"I wish to... go the fish?" Star questions and Raven and BB lean over to check her cards.

"Uh, you want to fold, Starfire," BB tells her.

"Fold? That is good? I am victorious?" Star asks him, and the two shake their heads, and they lean away from the upset Starfire as she lays her cards face down on the stable hanging her head.

"Sorry, Star," Robin says not sounding so at all as he stands up reaching to sweep the cards up. "I guess I'm just... invincible!" Cyborg and Bounty Hunter reach over stopping him.

"Ah, ah, ah," Cyborg speaks up. "How can you be invincible."

"If we've still got cards?" Bounty Hutner taunts him as they hold up their cards, facing him, Robin grimaces lowering his brow. "Come on, Robin. You know you want to play us for it."

"One last round, winner take all." Cyborg taunts him some more.

"You're on, Cyborg, Bounty Hunter, and you're going down!" Robin boasts as he sits back down, picking up his cards, he scrutinising over them as Robin plays, one eyebrow pops up and down behind the hand; he glares across the table at Cyborg and Bounty Hunter. Cyborg flicks the single card teasingly back and forth, and Bounty Hunter smirks behind her hand, the three stare each other down for a few seconds before Robin makes his play. The card he throws down is a funnel cloud; he leans back confidently in his chair.

"Tornado! Beat that!" Robin boasts, and the three spectators look on in surprise at the addition

"Oh~!" the three gasp at the action and Bounty Hunter folds putting her cards down, but Cyborg breaks his stoicism with a casual shrug.

"Well, okay," Cyborg says, and he raises his hand, then places his foot on the table, and slaps down the card. "Boo-yah!" He cheers as he removes his hand to the card facing up to reveal a flaming meteor, Starfire and Raven gasp, their eyes popping even more full, and Robin leans over the table.

"Meteor?!" Robin and Bounty Hunter exclaim in shock.

"The one-in-a-million wild card that beats all others!" BB exclaims his eyes shine tearing up and he wipes his eye. "Ohhh... it's too beautiful for words." He leans back with a happy moan.

"Aw, yeah, baby!" Cyborg boasts some more as he rakes in his cards. "Who's invincible now?" Robin steams over his defeat, as Starfire tries to console him.

"Be proud and cheerful, Robin. You competed well." Star tries, and Raven joins them.

"Winning isn't everything," Raven adds, and Robin stops steaming.

"Yeah... it's just the only thing that matters." Robin grumbles.

"Who told you that? Batman?" Bounty Hunter giggles from next to BB and Cyborg and he pounds on the table, the others back off.
