Double Trouble

Kyd Wykkyd levitated to his temporary room in the HIVE's new replacement tower. After being destroyed by that obnoxious speedster, the team had to relocate. Unfortunately this was the first time they had to relocate without their fearless leader: Jinx. None of them knew where she went, she merely disappeared into the night. See-More guessed that she went with Speedy Gonzales (aka Kid Flash), since See-more was the last one to see her before she left.

Wykkyd slumped into his bed, ripping his cowl off and leaving his dark hair to flop over in a tangled mess. He muttered something unintelligible, contrary to popular belief, the mutated human could talk, he just chose not only person he used to talk to was See-More, though he mainly used sign language for him.

Kyd looked around with his beady crimson eyes, and was not surprised to see how cramped and dirty his room wallpaper was dripping off, leaving a disgusting muddy color underneath. There was trash and other horrible things surrounding the floor and he could've sworn he even saw a rat crawl past his feet. He could clean it up (the room, not the rat) , however he knew at one point another foolish Titan would destroy it again, so there really wasn't a point.

Kyd Wykkyd never did have a choice to be a villain. He actually didn't want to, but he had no say in the matter. Elliot was born a freak, a mutant...a demon. He even looked evil. The truth was, if he had a chance to be a hero, he would take it in a heartbeat. Or just a normal civilian. Just to be normal.

Just as Kyd was about to rest his eyes, he heard a gentle thumping at the door.

"Wykkyd?" A soft voice rang, slightly muffled from being outside the door. It was See-More.

"..."

"Elliot, please let me in."

Kyd got up from his bed, quickly forcing his cowl roughly back on as he grabbed a pencil from his desk. He tapped the pencil three times on the wall. This was their code, three times meant "yes" and one time meant "no."

"Thanks." See-more answered, desperately trying to make a quiet entrance, however the door made a loud squeak, making the other boy jump.

Wykkyd nodded kindly, moving his fingers in a soft motion:

"Do you need anything, See-more?" He signed, though he wasn't perfect at ASL, he was getting better.

"N-no...I don't need anything." See-more replied. "Just wanted to say hi."

Kyd Wykkyd's head cocked in confusion.

"Is everything alright?"

"What? Oh yeah...everything's fine."

Elliot shook his head.

"You don't seem fine. Please tell me what is wrong." Wykkyd took a deep breath. It was difficult remembering all the signs. "Maybe I can help?"

"I...I just miss Jinx, Ellie." See-more choked. "She was the glue that put the HIVE together."

"I see. Also don't call me Ellie."

"Sorry, Ellie."

Elliot let out a groan, flailing his arms up in frustration and defeat.

"Hehe...gotcha." See-More muttered. "Still, I feel like something's missing without her."

"That tends to happen when you have feelings for someone." Wykkyd signed.

Seemore blushed profusely. "W-w-what are you talking about?!"

"I may not say much...or at all for that matter, but I can tell these things. The way you looked at her, making it pretty obvious. It's okay. We all have these strong emotions for members of the opposite sex. Or same...depending on what you prefer."

See-more continued to get redder by the second.

"The point I am trying to make is: Do not let your lust for her control you."

"L-Lust?! Elliot I do not-"

"Sorry, wrong choice of words. Still getting use to sign language."

"Riiiiiiiiight."

"Besides, didn't you say she had a thing for that spandex wearing Titan?"

"Yeah...it's his fault that my emotions are getting all haywire." See-more rolled his single eye.

There was an awkward silence. Suddenly, See-more spoke up.

"That's it!"

Elliot tilted his head.

See-more slapped his head to his forehead. "We get rid of Kid Flash, we get Jinx back."

Kyd gasped. "We kill him?!"

"What?! No! We're not that evil!"

"Then what are you suggesting?"

"Leave that to me...I just need to tell the others!"

~~~~~~~ DUNDUHDUHDUH BREAK LINE!~~~~~~~~

In the living room section of the HIVE, Billy and two other clones were playing an exhilarating match of Mario Kart. Billy was winning, but Billy was coming close to Billy, while Billy was losing miserably. Meanwhile, Gizmo was working on a new invention, a cloning device to be precise, and Mammoth was raiding the fridge. It helped him think.

"Gentlemen...and Billy." See-more joked, clearing his throat as he entered the room, with Kyd following him.

"Hey!" All three Billies looked up and cried.

"Ahem. Anyways, I couldn't help but notice how the HIVE Five has fallen apart ever since Jinx has left us." See-more concluded.

Kyd nodded.

"No, it's been just fine without that mud-brained girl." Gizmo's raspy voice snapped, still not looking up from his project.

"Ah miss Jinx." One of the Billies muttered.

"Me too, Billy." Another agreed.

"Ah agree, Billy!" The final one stated.

"Uh….what do you think we should do?" Mammoth interrupted, happily crunching on a golden delicious apple.

"We get rid of her stupid boyfriend, that's what!"

"Jinx has a boyfriend?"
"Ah didn't know that!"

"Since when?"

"Is that why she 'eft us?!"

"That snotbrain! Replacing us with some random guy!"

"Not just some random guy, Gizmo. Exhibit A." See-more motioned to a small white board, which had a picture of Kid Flash crudely drawn. Wykkyd smiled at his handiwork, holding up a permanent red marker.

"Is that Flash Junior?"

"Yup. All we need is a cloning device…"
"Already done, See-more. Just need to make a few adjustments." Gizmo smirked.

"Wow, that's convenient." See-more awed.

"Ah call it plot convenience!" The original Billy piped.

"Alright guys, here's the plan: We take Mini Flash, clone him, and then make the clone break up with Jinx." See-More explained.

"Got it." Gizmo saluted sarcastically.

"Jinx will be so heartbroken, she'll come back to us."

"Perfect." Mammoth agreed.

"First Jump City, then the world!" See-More manically laughed.

"Don't push it, vomitbreath."
