"Come on Crystal you can do it push!" Robin encourages the ice breed titan as she tries to lift weights, her face was as red as a tomato as she squeaks with struggle.

"And done!"

Crystal let's go as she breathes deeply exhausted

"Great job Cryst 10 minutes that's a new recorded for you." Robin nods holding a timer

Crystal frowns crossing her arms

"Hey you asked for my help and your getting it." Robin raises an eyebrow on why she was making a sour face

"Yeah but I didn't mean weights they're so heavy." Crystal rubs her sore muscles

"If you want to get better ya gotta learn to tough it up and be confident." Robin puts a hand on her shoulder

Crystal grump, sure she had her friends but she always felt like she was the weakest titan on the team. She walks out of the train room towards the living room

"Is it in there?"

"Yeah it's in there"

"Man we're gonna get her so good."

"Shhhh here she comes."

Crystal walk into the living room seeing Beast Boy and Cyborg watching tv

"Hey Cryst how was training?" Cyborg asked

"I-It was ... ok." Crystal sighed with a sour face

"Well there's some water in the fridge for ya." Beast Boy points behind him gesturing to the refrigerator.

Crystal starts making her way to the refrigerator, she pulls the handle and opens it getting a surprise from a scary looking clown out of a jack in the box.

"Ahhh!!!!" Crystal screams her hair jumping up

Beast Boy and Cyborg burst out laughing hysterically as Crystal holds her chest, her heart pounding rapidly.

"Oh man Crystal you should of seen your face!" Cyborg holds his side from laughing so hard.

"You fall for it every time." Beast Boy wipes a tear from his eye

Starfire floats into the room seeing the commotion "What is going on?" She sees the clown in the fridge and admittedly frowns at the two boys "You too should be ashamed you know friend Crystal is the sensitive." Starfire puts her hands on Crystal's shoulder protectively who blushes in embarrassment.

"Ah relax Star we're just joking."

A ringing sound is heard as the four titans in the room run up to the screen, Robin and Raven join them. Robin starts to type away at the keyboard

"Looks like some robbers are robbing the Jump City bank come on guys let's move." Robin scans the screen, the others start to run out the door Crystal follows them but Robin puts a hand out in front of her stopping her "Not you Crystal you're staying here."

"What? W-Why?" Crystal asked sounding confused and hurt

"This could be dangerous for you."

"It's just a bunch of robbers we've handled things worse than this."

"You're staying here Crystal."

"No I'm not staying I'm going!" Crystal huffs staring to walk

"Crystal maybe you should stay." Cyborg speaks up

"Come on guys I'm not a baby."

"But you are the youngest on the team-"

"That's not what I mean Star!"

"Well you're starting to act like one." Raven looks her up and down blankly.

"But-"

Robin just narrows his eyes silencing her, she turns to Beast Boy thinking he would be the only one to back her up but he turns away cringing but keeps a smile "Maybe you should stay home wouldn't want you to get spooked."

Crystal was speechless

Her team

Her friends

Were treating her as if she was a child

"We will back from the butt kicking before you know it." Starfire gives a smiles as the other team members leaving

Crystal sits on the couch trying to process what just happened, she pulls out her communicator and angrily throws it on the ground stomping away. She starts to walk away but gets scared again by the clown, she whimpered quietly as she pushes the clown away running out the room crying.

.............................................

The titans return from the fight "Alright Crystal I know you're probably mad at me so go ahead and get your frustrations out." Robin groans knowing he was gonna get a rant out of her but they looked and saw no one

"Where is she?" Cyborg looked around confused

"She is probably resting I will go check." Starfire flys down the hall to Crystal's room

Beast Boy looks around the couch and sees a communicator on the ground "Guys! She left her communicator."

Robin, Cyborg, Raven walk over seeing him hold it in his hand "She always keeps it in her pocket cause she scared of losing it."

"You don't think she"

"Robin! Friend Crystal is not in her room! She is nowhere in sight!" Starfire whimpers freaking out

"Calm down Starfire." Raven assures her "She probably went to go blow off some steam"

"Where ever she is it's not safe for her to be by herself come on we better go look for her." Robin orders as the titans run back out

................................................

Crystal sniffs sadly as she flew though the sky

"What's the point of being a hero if my own team doesn't even have faith in me." Crystal grumps landing on the roof of a building looking down at Jump City she could feel a tear creeping in her eye but she quickly wipes it away "No heroes's don't cry."  She puffs her chest trying to make herself feel tough but whimpers lightly to herself as she hugs her knees burying her face

Suddenly the ringing sound of an alarm echos in her ear she looks to see the five high rushing out of a bank holding bags of money in their hands as they run

They had just robbed the bank

Crystal thought for a second

Maybe if she caught the entire High Five then her friends won't look at her as weak

Crystal takes a deep breath and leaps off the roof the high five walk laughing and high giving each other satisfied with the robbery their laughter is cut short when Crystal lands in front of them

"High Five! Y-Your rain of robbery s-stops here!" Crystal stands tall and confident

The high five look dumbfounded before bursting out laughing in her face making her shrink down a little twiddling her thumbs in embarrassment.

"Haha! The titan wimp thinks she can bet us!" Jinx snorts

"Bwhaha! Your nothing but a scaredy pants icy brains!" Gizmo holds his side

"Yeah wheres your wittle friends?" Mammoth mocks

Crystal blushes looking away, Inferno walks up waving his hands silencing the other villains "Alright Alright guys that's enough." He frowns concern but then gets a smirk "The little baby might start crying." The high five goes back to laughing. Crystal could feel her face getting hot as tears crept in her eyes but she standing in fighting stance summoning an icicle formed disc and throws it making hit mammoth in the chest hard making fall on his back

He growls angrily getting back up as the high five get ready for a fight "Come on guys let's send this baby home crying." Jinx smirks cracking her knuckles

Crystal shakes a bit but takes a deep breath running towards Jinx who swipes her hand sending a wave of energy her way but Crystal leans backwards and grabs her wrist fling her around along her crash into Gizmo

Mammoth tries to grab her in his big strong arms, Crystal spins around punching him in the chest making him stumble back before snapping her finger making a ice bolt zap towards his belt, his pants fall to the ground.

Mammoth covers himself embarrassed as bystanders point and laugh at him, Crystal giggles a bit too but not for long as Inferno pounces on her as they roll around for a bit before he holds her down and smirks evilly heating up his eyes to blast her. With quick thinking Crystal growls a bit and blast him with her icicle eyes into his eyes making him shout in pain covering his eyes with his hands.

Crystal stands up holding her fists out summoning her ice bolts towards the high five ready to blast them but Gizmo smirks at her "Your pretty tough ice butt."

Crystal smiles at bit but hears a sound that makes her eyes widen she looks slightly down to see a small device on the back of her neck but before she could pull it off she feels electrocute currents going though her body making her scream from the sudden pain.

She collapsed to the ground on back

The high five circle around her smirking evilly as Crystal finally loses consciousness

"But you're not that bright."

................................................

The titans look around Jump City for their white haired friend, Starfire and Raven scan the sky, Cyborg and Robin ride around town while Beast Boy searches below on the street.

"Any luck guys?" Cyborg asks on his communicator

"No nothing yet." Raven shakes her head

"I do hope friend Crystal is okay she must be so scared." Starfire looks around worried that her friend was missing.

"Don't Star we're gonna find her." Robin assured her while he rides on his motorcycle, as a dog Beast Boy sniffs the ground trying to locate Crystal's scent he sees a piece of her sleeve on the ground a few feet away. He transforms back into his human form running over to it picking it up he turns it over gasping at what he saw.

Everyone's communicator beeps picking it up "You find anything BB?" Cyborg asked looking at Beast Boy's mad face

"Yeah somebody took her! And I think we know who." Beast boy frowns shows them the piece of light blue cloth with the high five symbol on it.

................................................

Crystal groans a bit opening her eyes, she tries to stand up but can't move she looks down to see her arms and legs are restrained in a chair with monitors around her and stickers with wires attached to her cheeks, chin, and forehead "Huh? What? W-What is this?" She looks around confused seeing a large green colored laser pointed directly at her.

"Just a little something so you don't try to escape." Inferno stands in front of her with the other villains he squishes her cheeks a bit in a teasing voice "How's the chair? Ya nice in comfortable?" Crystal snatches her face away glaring at him "Good hate for you to feel uncomfortable."

"Grrr let me go!!" Crystal grunts and squeaks trying to get out of the chair while the high five laughs at her Gizmo starts typing on the computer connected to the machine "Hahaha you can try all you want blizzard butt but ya ain't gonna move an inch. Now time to get juice this thing up for the plan."

"Plan? What plan?!" Crystal huffs at them, Jinx walks up to her leaning down to her level "It's really simple we're gonna blast you with this laser that'll sting so bad it'll make you cry out just a wittle baby." Jinx puffs out her cheeks mocking Crystal with a baby voice "Which will make your dork friends come for you and when they do we'll be ready for them. Jinx shows Crystal her hand as it sparks.

"That is the dumbest plan I ever heard!! And I am not a BABY!!!" Crystal yells angrily

"Heheh we'll see about that." Gizmo giggles to himself pressing his finger on the button, the machine starts to glow circles around it as it blast Crystal as she grunts twitching a bit from the pain trying her best not to yell

"Come on go ahead and cry baby you know you want to." Mammoth teases her

"I-I'm not gonna cry you... Dumb stupid Ape!!" Crystal growls angrily at Mammoth with glowing blue eyes, Mammoth growls at her pushing Gizmo out of the way pushing the button to make the level go up higher "I'll show you big ape you little squirt!!"

"Hey get off Mammoth it's my machine!!" Gizmo tries to push Mammoth as the other high tries to pull him off, the nob gets turn to level 20 as the lazer turns red making Crystal struggle even harder in pain

"Whoa check it she's getting blasted to level 20 ohoho she's gonna be bailing like a baby!!" Inferno points to Crystal who puffs out her cheeks with tears forming in her eyes trying to hold back the tears.

"Aww the little baby's gonna cry come on crybaby cry out for your friends." Jinx mocks her while the high five laugh at her, Crystal grinds her teeth squeaking a bit before letting out an angry scream.

................................................

The titans start making their way towards the high five hideout

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

The teams hears Crystal's loud scream in the distance making widen their eyes Robin gestures the other members to move quickly "Come on let's move who knows what they could be doing to her in there!!"

................................................

Crystal's hands and feet starts forming ice for a moment allowing her to break free from the chair she yells out in anger using her eyes to crystallize the laser pointer. She turns to the high five stomping towards them grinding her teeth as they back up from her a little scared

"Whoa whoa t-take it easy blizzard breath we were just kidding around." Inferno holds his hands out in front of him smiling sheepishly sweating from his forehead

"Oh you wanna see a blizzard?" Crystal asked clutching her glowing fists as a cloud forms above her with snow pouring down as she levitates off the ground with her hair raising up glaring her glowing blue eyes

"I'LL SHOW YOU A BLIZZARD!!"

................................................

Cyborg blast the door open with his arm cannon as the titans run in frantic and worried "Crystal are you?-"

Beast Boy yells slipping on ice falling on the ice covered ground on his back groaning a bit "Ouch."

Crystal stands in front of them with a sweet smile waving at them "H-Hey guys." The team looks around in awe and shocked at the room that was covered from ceiling to floor with rock hard ice, Starfire hugs Crystal close worried looking over her "Friend Crystal did they hurt you? Are you injured?"

Crystal blushes a bit rubbing the back of her head shyly "No I-I'm fine Star but I think you should be worried about them." Crystal sheepishly jabs a thumb towards the high five who are frozen in place in crystallized icicles "I think I might have went a-a little overboard."

"Whoa you captured the entire high by yourself?" Raven flicks the frozen Mammoth with her finger surprised

"Dude check out! She took the machine all the way to 20!" Beast Boy points to the control panel out to the others who look in amazement.

Crystal blushes a bit proud of herself a bit

................................................

"I got admit Cryst that was pretty impressive." Robin smiles grabbing a mug of hot chocolate that Crystal hands to him

"Guess we should learn to have more faith in you." Cyborg places a hand on her head smiling

"Indeed you have proven today you are tougher than your appearance." Starfire holds up a finger nodding in agreement.

"Thanks guys I appreciate it I think I'm finally improving as a person and a hero." Crystal smiles with pride until she goes to take a sip of her coco and sees a spider crawling on her mug, she squeals in fright jumping into Ravens arms who gives her an annoyed glare as Crystal shrinks bit with a smile

"Looks like you got a long way to go."
