Robot calamari, anyone?

Hello again. It's been a while since I last updated, my apologizes for that. I've been busy lately and nothing of interest has happened since the giant robot squid attack on Steel City. Well, I've been fighting minor crime, the weather has been getting colder, but that's not a really interesting thing to talk about, is it?

So, giant robot squid attack. On Steel City. I helped to stop it. And then Aqualad and Bumblebee went and broke it. And that's it.

...

Okay, maybe I need to give a bit more detail.

A giant robot squid had been pulling hit and run attacks on Steel City. It would burst out of the sea, go on a rampage though the city, destroying buildings and stealing what's in them and then vanish back in the sea again before Titans East could arive. Aqualad had tried to chase it underwater, but since most of the team is bound to land (or air in Bumblebee's case), they had some issues fighting it. They needed some way of trapping it on land and that's why I was called (well, to be honest they called Raven first, but she was busy over in Jump City). Bumblebee figured that if someone like me could lift huge objects, we should be able to stop them as well. So... I came over, and when the next attack happened, I helped by holding the giant robot squid down while Aqualad, BumbleBee and Mas & Menos (is that spelled right?) tried to break it into pieces. Which... Sort of went well. I did keep the robot in one place, but it was difficult doing so. And I couldn't stop it's tentacles from trashing about. So, with me being in open view of giant robot squid thrashing it's tentacles about...

Let's just say I'm very glad Mas & Menos are so fast on their feet.

At any rate, eventually, Bumblebee and Aqualad broke through it's armour and started taking it apart from inside. They got out before it blew up and... Well, that's that. I started picking up the scrap left behind so it could be properly disposed of and everyone started clean-up. Dealing with reporters, getting the Titan Urban Rebuilding Fund to repair whatever was damaged, things like that. There's still the matter of finding out who actually send the robot squid here, but Bumblebee assures me they can handle things from here on end. I quietly left after that, just saying goodbye to everyone and sneaking past the droves of press. I don't like being the center of attention.

Come to think of it... Where's Speedy? I haven't seen him at all. Hmm. Maybe he was busy tracking whoever sent the robot?
