As much as I would have liked to make Shadow's death by chainsaw permanent, it's too anti climatic. As such, I will be forced to torture you with a couple more chappies...wait, did I just say chappies? Crap, the Sueness is starting to get to my head.

Shadow and her puppet, er, boyfriend walked outside to the obstacle course, followed by Mas y Menos and Aqualad. The obstacle course looked like just a bunch of rocks, but Shadow instinctively knew that those rocks were brimming with remote turrets, laser beams, sliding walls, and robotic unicorns. Odd how they would make a training program so deadly, but Shadow wasn't concerned about that. All she knew was that the Titans considered her a baby, even though the never treated her like it, and that she had to prove her worth by getting the best time on the obstacle course.

"Shadow, do you want to go first?" asked Speedy.

Shadow shook her head. "No, I'll let Mas y Menos go first."

The twins shook their heads. "No queremos ir. Nos acaba de comer."[1]

Speedy grinned. "That's just like you, Shadow, putting others ahead of yourself. You are truly the most kind, generous, and sexy girl I have ever met."

"Estas escuchando?"[2] asked Mas.

"No se moleste," said Menos. "Ninguno de ellos habla espanol."[3]

"I speak Spanish," said Shadow.

The twins looked at her incredulously. "Como es eso posible? No se podia hablar aye Espanoles."[4]

"I'm a quick learner."

Mas y Menos glanced at each other. Seriously, how can you pick up on a language that fast without omnilingualism? Shadow had just gone from pest to creeper.

"Well, are you two slowpokes going to go?"

The twins narrowed their eyes at Shadow. Slowpokes?! They would show her. The two got up to the starting line. Speedy got behind the control booth. "Ready, set, GO!"

Mas y Menos ran the course in 4.02 seconds.

Speedy smirked. "Not bad," he remarked as he came from behind the booth. Now lets see how Shadow does."

Shadow smile was so shiny it literally blinded a nearby plane, which crashed into a field. She then got up to the starting line.

Speedy held the started the countdown. "Ready, set..." he suddenly clutched his head and groaned. "No," he murmured. "No. This is...wrong."

Shadow grabbed his face and looked him in the eyes. "I'm sorry, what was that, deary?"

Speedy's eyes fluttered a bit, before snapping open, glowing pink. He immediately straightened. "Nothing Shadow. Please proceed."

The twins shifted uneasily. That was way too much like Brother Blood. Mas turned to his brother. "Debemos decirle a la senorita Bumblebee?" [5]

Menos thought for a second, then shook his head. "No. Esto es una venganza porque cuando Speedy puso polvo de picazon en nuestros trajes."[6]

Shadow smiled, then took out two knives. Mas y Menos saw this and in the blink of an eye grabbed the knives and tossed them away. Shadow glared at the twins. "What was that for?"

"No har cuchillos en la carrera de obstaculos."[7]

Shadow narrowed her eyes sexily. "Oh yeah? Says who?"

The twins ran off, and came back moments later with a piece of paper. Shadow looked at the paper, which said 'Rules of the Obstacle Course.' One section said 'Things not allowed on the obstacle course.' Listed were knives, guns, nuclear weaponry, yodeling, and homicidal clowns from Gotham. Of course, Shadow couldn't read, so she just nodded and smiled before starting the course.

She ran up to the first rock, which opened up to reveal a paint ball gun. She turned into a lion and ripped it to shreds. After that she came up to spinning blades made out of cardboard. She turned into a kitten and crawled under it. After that, the ground split open to reveal a pool of water six inches deep. She suddenly panicked and began floundering, because cats totally do that when in a small pool of water. Shadow thought she would drown, but unfortunately was able to make it back to dry land.

Of course, Mas y Menos were quite suspicious about how easy the obstacle course was. They ran over to the control box, where they found exactly what they had been expecting. The obstacle course had five settings, in order from easiest to hardest: Aquaman, Hawkman, Black Canary, Superman, and Freakin Batman. It was currently set to Aquaman. Naturally, they changed it to Freakin Batman. It was like magic. The course suddenly became much harder. It changed it's arsenal from paintballs and weak lasers to exploding whoopy cushions, razor edged playing cards, bionic killer crocs, fear gas, giant coins, Venus flytraps, and, well, you get the idea.

Speedy hastily turned it off. Aqualad rushed over to Shadow, trying to help her get back to her feet. Mas y Menos whistled innocently while slowly stepping back from the control box.

Shadow was gasping for air, though sadly she would pull through. Aqualad grit his teeth. "Someone must have change the setting to make Shadow fail."

Speedy nodded. "And I think I know who."

Aqualad narrowed his eyes, intent on getting revenge on whoever did this to poor, innocent, Shadow. "Who?"

"Don't you see? It all adds up. The snarky comments, the obvious disdain, Mas y Menos whistling over there right next to the control box, it all adds up to...Bumblebee!"

Aqualad snapped his fingers. "Of course, Bumblebee must be feeling jealous of Shadow, so she tried to get rid of her, even though Bumblebee's not the type to let her emotions interfere with her mission!"

Shadow looked up pitifully. "Please, don't do this. We can work it out."

"No Shadow, we need to confront Bumblebee."

Shadow instantly felt better, and got to her feet. "Alright, let's got!"

Mas turned to his brother. "Que ha pasado?"[8]

Bumblebee pried open the door of the plane, trying to help the passengers out. The plane had somehow crashed into a nearby field, and Bumblebee wasted no time getting there and getting the people out. She grunted, trying to clear some flaming rubble, but was having some difficulty. Where are my teammates? she wondered. As if on cue, Speedy, Aqualad, and Shadow came to the scene.

"Guys, there are people trapped inside! Help me clear the debris!"

Aqualad crossed his arms. "I think there are more important things to discuss right now."

Bumblebee narrowed her eyes. "A plane just crashed and the are people inside!"

"They can wait. Right now we need to talk about our feelings."

Bumblebee's eyes went wide. "WHAT?!"

"Don't play games! We know you sabotaged the course to try and hurt Shadow."

Bumblebee was about to respond when the fire suddenly flared up. Desperate, she used her stingers to loosen some of the debris, and pulled away the rest. The passengers were safe.

A little girl came up to Bumblebee. "Thank you," she said with a smile. She then turned around and saw Shadow. Her eyes went wide with horror, and she ran away screaming.

Aqualad had a tear in his eye. Even the children adored Shadow. In fact, the only person who hated her was Bumblebee. "Bee, why do you hate her so much? Are you jealous?"

Bee scoffed. Jealous? Of that?! No way.

Shadow then reverted to her sociopath tendency. "You wanna fight?" she growled, turning into a tiger. Bumblebee clenched her arms to her sides and took a deep breath. Heroes do not kill. Heroes do not kill. Heroes do not-

She was interrupted when her communicator went off. She pulled it out. "A bank robbery," she said, turning to the others. "We'll settle this later."

Shadow immediately reverted to a innocent girl persona. "Come on! Let's stop the bad guys!" With that, she, Aqualad, and Speedy went off. Bee just sighed. What was with Shadow.

Mas y Menos rushed over to Bumblebee. "Que hemos perdido?"[9]

[1] We don't want to go. We just ate.

[2] Are you listening to us?

[3] Forget it. None of them speak Spanish.

[4] How is that possible? You didn't speak Spanish yesterday.

[5] Should we tell Miss Bumblebee?

[6] No. This is revenge for when Speedy put itching powder in our suits.

[7] No knives on the obstacle course.

[8] What just happened?

[9] What did we miss?
