(Lust: I'm baaaack.. and just ignore me and read. Thanks for the reviews!)
Bumblebee walked into the new Headmaster's office. "Brother Blood, I've come to deliver the report!" She said cheerfully.
Brother Blood smiled at the young student. "Alright, could you set it on my desk?" He said kindly. Bumblebee nodded and laid the report on his desk. Then her eyes went red.
Brother Blood got up and set one of his hand's on Bumblebee's back, between her wings. "You are a very exceptional student, Karen." He whispered. Bumblebee didn't respond. Brother Blood smiled and ran his hand downwards. "Very, very, exceptional." He said.
Bumblebee woke up with a gasp. Her chest was heaving, and she could feel a tear running down her cheek.
She started sobbing again. She hadn't had that dream in... who knows how long. It never went farther than that, thankfully enough. She didn't want to remember that. Certainly not.
She walked into her bathroom and stripped off her clothes. Turning on the water as hot as it would be without giving her severe burns, she stepped into the shower.
'Go away.' She thought angrily. 'You stupid dreams only make me all scared. I don't need to be scared, I'm the leader of Titan's East, dammit!'
Bumblebee grabbed a washcloth and began scrubbing herself furiously to try to get rid of that feeling, then remembered something.
"No, Bee. You'll hurt yourself worse."
Bumblebee felt her heart speed up slightly with the thought of the old friend. She stopped scrubbing so hard and said softly, "I really, really wish you weren't one of the bad guys, Billy."
She walked out of the bathroom to hear her communicator going off. She flipped it open and said, "Yeah?" It was Robin. "The villains were unfrozen. They are all currently heading all over the USA. Its been reported the HIVE ones have been heading in your direction. Be prepared for them."
Bumblebee groaned and nodded. "How the hell were they unfrozen?" She asked. Robin grimaced. "Turns out Mammoth has a little sister named Shimmer. She got in and unfroze EVERYONE, not sure where her brother was. And... did you take a shower?"
Bumblebee cursed in her mind and said, "Yeah, couldn't sleep." Then the alarms went off and she groaned, "Twenty bucks says that's them. See ya, Robin."
Turns out it wasn't them, but it WAS Adonis, proving that the villains were free.
Kyd Wykkyd was sitting on the top of the building- an old hotel that had been closed down a year ago, but it looked like longer.
The name? 'Honey Hotel'. It was a codename for an underground operation for the HIVE Academy.
Angel landed on the roof and shrunk her wings. "Took a while, but I got here. I saw a jeep that looked like it was being driven by Billy, and Mammoth is a block away. Looks like someone's with him." Kyd nodded and signed, 'Probably the girl who freed us. She seems to be really close to Mammoth.' Angel cocked her head to the side. "Hmm, interesting."
Mammoth poked his head out of the trapdoor that led downstairs. "Here." He rumbled, climbing up, being followed by a slim red headed girl with heavy dark makeup and black body armor. "Hey, Mammoth. Who's the girl?" Angel asked. "I'm Shimmer, his sister." She said, blowing her messy bangs out of her eyes.
Angel nodded. "Alright. I see the jeep now." Billy, See-More, Gizmo, Private Hive, and XL Terrestrial climbed out.
When they got to the roof, Gizmo started complaining about how he was squished the whole time. "Shut up, Gizmo. I even shrunk down to make more room." XL said, growing himself slightly larger.
Angel glanced around. "Where's Wrestling Star?" She asked. "Chose to hitchhike with Atlas down south." Billy said.
Mammoth nodded. "That means the gang is all here... other than Jinx." See-More's eye turned into a teardrop extremely quick and flipped back to normal. "No use crying over it, See-More." Angel said, patting his back.
Shimmer sat against the wall. "So... Steel City. I've heard about this place a couple times. Only place that rivals it in crime is Gotham, and I happen to hate a certain clown that frequents there." "The crime rate has lowered, since the titans East have arrived though." XL Terrestrial pointed out.
Shimmer looked amused for a split second. "Hey, isn't it led by another ex-HIVE student?" She said. Angel glared. "Yup. Couldn't stick to her guns and became a good guy." She growled. Shimmer shrugged and retorted, "Just pointing it out... and that makes you the only HIVE girl not to trade sides."
Angel blinked. "I didn't think of it like that." She said. Shimmer shrugged again.
See-More cleared his throat. "Okay, who should lead us then, before we start killing each other." Everyone looked over at See-More in shock. Billy managed to say, "I thought you were." See-More face palmed. "I am not a leader." "Well, you are now. So man up." Shimmer said.
See-More glared at Shimmer, grumbled a few choice words under his breath describing her, then said, "Alright. There's a temporary base below us. We'll use that... and tomorrow, I heard that Steel City has a really nice mall. We'll get stuff from there." The vote for that was unanimous.
Bumblebee was slaughtering a punching bag in the gym when the alarms went off again. "Aw, damn it." She growled, grabbing her stingers and flying to the main room.
Speedy was there, looking at the screen. "Looks like HIVE has made their debut. Lets get them."
Billy was everywhere, exploring the mall. "Hmm... I think I'll empty this register first." He said, duplicating into three and tearing the poor register apart.
"Hey!"
The HIVE stopped what they were doing. The Titans East were standing there. "Five against ten. Yup, really equal." See-More said gleefully, then yelled, "Attack pattern Alpha!" "Teen Titans, go!" Bumblebee flew as fast as possible, zapping See-More in his helmet before buzzing off to find another target.
Mas Y Menos tackled XL Terrestrial and Private HIVE in one go. Aqualad was attempting to soak Angel's wings so she couldn't fly. Speedy took up a spot in the back, sniping at all the HIVE members.
Bumblebee ran smack dab into Billy Numerous.
She honestly hadn't meant to, but she was flying and Billy jumped out of the way to avoid getting shot and they crashed.
Bumblebee was now on top of Billy and the two looked really, really, surprised. Billy was the first to regain his mind and he duplicated into two, effectively throwing Bumblebee off. "Hiya, Bee!" He said cheerfully. Bumblebee growled and charged her stingers. "Sorry I can't go easy on you." She grunted, firing a blast.
Billy turned into more and retorted, "Right back at you."
The two exchanged blows, and didn't pay attention to the battle around them. The rest of HIVE had either run off or were captured. (Shimmer, Mammoth, and XL Terrestrial were the unlucky ones).
Then Bumblebee grinned, flew forward as fast as physically possible, then up. "Hey, battle's down here, Bee-Bee!" Billy said, using that silly nickname he had attached to her the second week she arrived at HIVE.
This nearly threw her off, but she dived and punching a spot on his collar bone.
Billy regrouped and went down like a bag of potatoes. "Low blow, Bee, low." He groaned. "Sorry." She said, and in a way, meant it. Billy looked at her and gave her a slow wink. "I know."
The four were dragged off to jail.
On the way home, Speedy looked mischievous and said, "So, Bee-Bee, huh?" Bumblebee glared. "A stupid nickname from my stay at HIVE. We were... teammates." Aqualad looked at Bumblebee with a slightly shocked expression. "Teammates? I thought you were only a spy there." He said.
Bumblebee shook her head no. "Not for the first years. I didn't start giving you info until Brother Blood showed up. Billy and I were usually partnered up, because the teachers thought is was funny to see us fight." Speedy chuckled. "So... were you two..." "Speedy, finish that sentence, and I will zap you."
Speedy shut up.
Robin was on the main screen, looking filled with worry. "Bee, you there yet?" He asked. Bumblebee flew into the main room. "Oh, hi Rob. What's up?" She said.
Then the bomb was dropped: "Brother Blood escaped."
(DUH DUH DUH! Now the plot thickens!
Bye byes, remember to review!)
