Hello Everyone! Welcome back to my story and in this chapter is one of my favorite episodes from the series as it focuses on the H.I.V.E team and not the Teen Titans. I always love seeing the perspective of the villains and not the heroes twenty-four seven. With that said, let's get on with the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans
(H.I.V.E Five Base)
The H.I.V.E Five team, which was made up of six members (despite the name): three of them being the original H.I.V.E members: Jinx, the pink-haired leader of the H.I.V.E who had the ability to release energy blasts that brought bad luck onto its victims. Mammoth, a man of pure strength with long brown hair and a black unitard and a yellow pattern across it. And Gizmo was the technological genius of the group, even though he was a small boy, he used many gadgets that he created to defeat his enemies. The recent members of the H.I.V.E were: See-More, a teenaged villain who uses a single-eye visor that can shoot projectiles, shields, X-ray vision and Infrared vision; Billy Numerous, a teenaged villain who has the ability to create multiple clones of himself who can act on their own accords, but will share his own thoughts; and Kyd Wykkyd, the silent and stealth member of the group, who is able to teleport with the help of portals he creates. Right now, the members (besides Jinx) were resting on the couch they have in their living room after their failed attempts at committing crime. Ever since the Titans left to deal with the Brotherhood of Evil, the H.I.V.E have been on a city-wide crime spree, taking every opportunity they had to steal from the banks or armored trucks. Recently, they were there when Raven and Slade disposed of the Brotherhood and took control of everything. Since then, Jinx has been looking for opportunities to prove to Raven that she and the H.I.V.E would be useful in her plans to destroy the Titans, but sadly, nothing has turned up.
Until today that is.
As they were robbing a museum full of valuable artifacts, they were intercepted by a figure that moved so fast that they could not make out who he was. The figure took everything they stole and put them back where they belong and replaced them with immature objects, but Jinx instead got a rose. Then when they tried to commit multiple crimes at once, they were all intercepted and stopped by the figure again, leading to them resting on their couch.
"W-who does this guy think he is?" Billy said shivering after being knocked into a hockey goal by the figure.
"Where did he come from?" See-More said dripping wet after he and Kyd Wykkyd were knocked into the ocean after attempting to steal from an armored truck.
"How do we squash him?" Mammoth asked, while crushing a broken disco ball, angry at the figure after he stole his candy bar; a candy bar he paid for.
"We should have stayed home," Gizmo said, trying to undo all of the cords he was wrapped up in after trying to steal from a TV store. They all turned to see Jinx walk up to them.
"We should be thanking him," Jinx said. The other members looked at her with a look of confusion.
"Don't you see what this means? This is our chance to prove ourselves to Raven. If we catch this do-gooder and turn him over to her, she might allow us onto her team," Jinx said in wonder.
"Are you nuts? Don't you remember what she did to Dr. Light?" Gizmo asked.
"Lil' tech boy is right. How do we know if she won't take us out next?" One of the Billy clones said. Jinx sighed in response and started making her way to the door.
"Fine, but when I end up working with the big leagues and you guys are still robbing from parking meters, don't ask me for any favors," Jinx said as the door closed on her. She planned to head back to the museum where they had their first run in with the figure and draw him out.
(Raven's Base; a few hours later)
"Remember Terra, stay focused on your powers while fighting," Shadow said while dodging some of Terra's strikes. The two were dueling each other with swords made of the elements they could control. Shadow was wearing his red shirt and black jeans and was wielding a dark sword. Terra was wearing her brown shorts and black T shirt and was wielding a rock sword. It took her a long time, but she was finally able to make a sword from the Earth and now she was testing it to see how long it could last without her suit. She charged at him and swung at him a few times, but Shadow easily dodged her strikes. She charged again and struck at him and he easily blocked her attacks before moving behind her and kicking her to the ground. She quickly got up and rushed Shadow, while pushing him back with a multitude of strikes, until she finally broke through his guard and knocked him back, but in the process, destroying her sword. Shadow crashed into one of the walls, before falling to the ground.
"Ouch. Well done, Terra. That sword is defiantly strong," Shadow said, standing up. They turned to the entrance when they heard footsteps approaching them.
"Yes, but the fact that it broke after one hit is really concerning to me. You should spend more time so it will hold up longer instead of it being a one hit weapon," Raven said. Terra nodded in response.
"Come on, Terra. Let's keep training so we can increase the sword's durability," Shadow suggested. Terra nodded in agreement before running back to the training floor with Shadow, while Raven watched. That is until she sensed Slade walking up behind her.
"Raven?" Slade said.
"Yes, Slade?" Raven said, while turning to face him.
"We've received a recent transmission from Jump City," Slade said. Raven's eyes widened in response.
"Who sent it?" Raven asked.
"The H.I.V.E Five's leader, Jinx," Slade said.
"I see," Raven said, thinking. She called Terra and Shadow over to her and explained the situation and told them to get ready for anything. She then made her way to the computer room and saw on the screen the H.I.V.E symbol. She heard Terra, Shadow, and Slade walk up behind her.
"Let's see what this is about," Raven said before answering the call. The screen opened up to show Jinx standing in front of her computer.
"Hello Jinx," Raven said in a calm tone. Jinx smiled nervously in response.
"H-hi Raven. Look I know we weren't friends in the past or anything like that but let me just say that ever since you joined Slade, I started to see you as someone to follow and-" Jinx continued but Raven stopped her.
"Jinx, your rambling. Can you please explain why you called us? We have other things that we need to finish," Raven said.
"R-right, sorry. We captured Kid Flash," Jinx said with a confident look on her face. While it didn't show on their faces, Raven and the others were shocked by this news. It's not often you hear a group of criminals capture something as rare as a speedster.
"Interesting. Tell me, you are keeping him contained in a Level 4 containment field?" Raven asked.
"O-of course," Jinx nervously said.
"Good, I'll send someone to bring him here," Raven said, before cutting off transmission with Jinx. She then turned to face her allies.
"Something tells me that they didn't have him properly contained," Terra said.
"It's obvious that they don't. They are effective, but they are only as strong as their weakest link and that is their heads," Slade said.
"So, who's going to go get him?" Shadow asked.
(H.I.V.E Five Base, a couple hours later)
This was a disaster.
As Jinx assessed the damage caused by Kid Flash as he made his escape, she couldn't help but worry about the person Raven was sending. What if was Slade or the girl Terra? She definitely knows that those two would show no mercy towards them if they easily killed the Brotherhood of Evil and Dr. Light. She eventually found her way back to the living room where her fellow teammates were waiting for her.
"This is the worst day ever," Jinx said, but was interrupted when she heard the main door to the base open. She turned, expecting to see either Slade or Terra, but what she saw was a familiar black and orange cloak enter the room.
"Raven?!" Jinx said in surprise. Upon seeing the cloaked girl, the other teammates immediately took cover behind Jinx, who was the only one who stood before Raven. Raven walked up to Jinx until she stopped with her arms crossed.
"I-I thought you were sending someone else. I didn't know you would come," Jinx said nervously.
"Yes, well I have haven't been out of my base for awhile, so I needed something to do and besides I still have something else I need to do here. Kid Flash was an unexpected problem that needs to be dealt with immediately and considering the condition of your base, he was able to escape from you," Raven said while looking at the base. Gizmo decided to speak up.
"Look, we didn't know he was supposed to be contained in something as complex as a level four containment field, which by the way, is a very hard thing to-" but was interrupted by the evil glance sent to him by Raven.
"First of all: I was not talking to you, I was talking to Jinx. Second: you are all students of the H.I.V.E, you at least must have researched about speedsters and how to properly capture them or were you too stupid to not pay attention? Also, you are the smartest one out of all of your teammates besides Jinx, and yet your telling me that creating a Level 4 containment field is TOO HARD FOR YOU?!" Raven screamed at Gizmo in anger now with four red eyes, making him quiver in fear.
"N-no ma'am. I managed to make it before he escaped," Gizmo said, shakily holding up the device to Raven, which she took without even looking. She looked it over to make sure it would work before heading towards the door but stopped before she left.
"Jinx, why don't you come with me?" Raven said. Jinx's eyes widened in response.
"M-me?" Jinx said.
"Yes you. You obviously seem to have more guts than anyone else on this team," Raven said, nodding her head towards where the others were hiding after Raven's outburst: behind the couch. "And from what I'm sensing, you've had the most contact with Kid Flash more than the others, which means he'll trust you the most," Raven said, but Jinx didn't look too sure. Raven walked up to Jinx until she was standing a few feet away.
"Do you truly want to be taken seriously and be like me?" Raven asked.
"More than anything," Jinx said. Raven handed her the containment device.
"Then this is your chance," Raven said. Jinx thought it over a little bit more, before nodding her head.
(Middle of Jump City, 15 minutes later)
Jinx was walking through the darkened, empty streets of Jump City looking for the speedster, but there hasn't been any sign of him anywhere. She eventually stopped in the middle of an empty street.
"What do I have to do? Rob a bank?" Jinx said, but she suddenly heard a swoosh and a sudden gust of wind before turning to see the young speedster standing behind her.
"You'd do that for me? I'm touched," Kid Flash said with a cocky smirk on his face.
"You're not very smart, are you?" Jinx said.
"No need to be rude. It's not like I'm afraid of you," Kid Flash said.
"Oh, I'm not the girl you should be afraid of-" Jinx said before dropping her disguise, revealing herself to be Raven.
"-I am," Raven said. Kid Flash backed away in shock and fear.
"Raven, is that you?" Kid Flash said. He was also an Honorary Titan and he heard what happened to Raven. Whenever he got free time, he would run across the entire world in search of her, but like everybody else, he came up with nothing. So, to see her here, was comforting, but was also very frightening due to her new appearance and demeanor.
"Yeah Wally and you shouldn't have come back," Raven said, before shooting a beam of dark energy at Kid Flash, who was too stunned to dodge. The beam sent him flying into a nearby building and crashed into the wall. He tried to run away, but ran into a dark wall that Raven created, making him bounce back.
"Oh, come on. You don't want to stay and fight me?" Raven said, before shooting another blast at him, which he managed to dodge.
"Don't make me do this, Raven," Kid Flash said before spinning his arm really fast, to the point where it turned into a tornado and launched it at Raven. Raven simply put a shield in front of her and deflected the tornado, turning into a simple breeze. Kid Flash was shocked by this and started running away, but stopped when he saw Raven standing before him, but he couldn't stop himself from sliding straight into Raven's punch, which sent him flying high into the air before falling to the ground in a heap. Raven jumped into the air and tried to smash Kid Flash further into the ground with a giant Raven claw, but he quickly recovered and started running around in circles to create a tornado, keeping Raven in the air. She quickly reached out and grabbed him with a dark claw, stopping the tornado. She then threw him into multiple walls before throwing him into the ground. Kid Flash groaned in pain before running away again but was stopped by multiple dark walls sprouting in front of him.
"No use running from me, Wally," Raven said behind him.
"I don't want to fight you, Raven," Kid Flash said before spinning fast and ran through multiple buildings walls in an attempt to get away from Raven. When he made it through the last wall, he stopped to take a breather, but looked up to see Raven standing in front of him.
"What's the matter, Wally? Running out of steam?" Raven said. Kid Flash reached for his communicator to contact the Titans, but Raven used her powers to grab it from him and crushed it in her hands.
"Let's keep this between us," Raven said with a smirk. Kid Flash ran away again, all while dodging Raven's blasts and claws. He was so focused on dodging Raven's attacks, that he didn't notice that he was running straight into a wall.
CRASH!
Kid Flash crashed headfirst into the wall, leaving a perfect imprint of himself, before falling to the ground. Raven walked over to see the impact and couldn't help but chuckle at his idiocy. However, when he recovered he smashed the ground that created a shockwave that traveled underground which then made impact with Raven's chest, knocking her to the ground. Taking the opportunity, Kid Flash took off, but started to slow down due to exhaustion until he stopped near a storage unit building. Deciding he had no other choice, he hid inside one of the storage units and closed the door. However, Raven was watching from the sky, as she followed his trail to the storage unit.
"Jinx, he's in the closed storage unit to your left," Raven said through a communicator. Jinx saw the closed unit and made her way towards it. She made the door disintegrate with her powers and saw Kid Flash resting next to a couple of boxes. Kid Flash saw Jinx's shadow approach and was in the defensive.
"Jinx, is that you?" Kid Flash asked. He got his answer when Jinx manipulated water pipes underground to spray Kid Flash in the face.
"It's you," Kid Flash said while rubbing the water off his face.
"You made me look like a fool," Jinx said with her arms crossed, though she noticed that he looked tired.
"What's the matter? Run out of gas?" Jinx asked.
"For now. I'll have my strength back in a minute," Kid Flash said trying to stand back up.
"I'm not going to give you a minute," Jinx said, while pulling out the containment field device.
"Why do you want to join her?" Kid Flash asked.
"I'm bad luck. Good was never an option for me. At least with Raven I can be somebody. I can be respected and feared," Jinx said.
"You don't have to hurt people in order to feel good about yourself," Kid Flash said. Jinx, however, ignored his statement and activated the device, trapping Kid Flash in an electrical energy field.
"And that's only level one," Jinx said with a mischievous grin as she turned up the energy on the device. However, she turned around when she heard the sound of clapping behind her and saw Raven slowly walking up to her with her hood up, red eyes piercing out of the hood.
"Well done, Jinx," Raven said after stopping a few feet from Jinx.
"Thanks Raven. I hope that this was enough to convince you-" Jinx said but was interrupted when Raven created a dark spear in her hands and held it out to Jinx.
"Now kill him," Raven said in a dark tone.
"W-what?!" Jinx said in shock.
"We are so close to finishing our mission of destroying the Titans. The last thing I need is a speedster running around destroying my plans. This is your chance, Jinx. Kill Kid Flash, join me, and together we will bring in a new age of peace for the world," Raven said. Jinx was completely taken aback by this. She really did want to join Raven, but she never killed anyone to get where she is now. Also, the words Kid Flash said were starting to get to her.
"I-I-"Jinx tried to say.
"Oh, don't tell me he's gotten into your head," Raven said before sensing Jinx's mind to see that she was indeed conflicted.
"Oh, I see. The combination of you never killing and Kid Flash's words are causing you to hesitate. Well, if we're going to change the world, some sacrifices must be made and some lives must be taken. As for what Wally said to you, I know you have been hurt all your life due to your bad luck powers and ever since then, you have been hurting people in order to feel respected. In order to make it through this world, you need to hurt in order to never be hurt by others. Now, if you want to be taken seriously by me and the world, kill Kid Flash," Raven said while handing Jinx the spear. Jinx just stood there, contemplating her decision. She slowly walked over to where Kid Flash was. She held the spear in a position ready to strike when Kid flash looked up to see Jinx standing over him with a spear in her hands.
"J-Jinx...p-please," Kid Flash said. Seeing his depressed face made Jinx hesitate even more.
"Strike now, Jinx. Don't hesitate," Raven said. Jinx eventually found the strength within her and impaled the spear into Kid Flash's chest, causing him to sputter and cough up some blood. He tried using whatever strength he had left to pull the blade out of his chest, but Jinx had a better grip on it. He eventually went still as the last of his life left him and Jinx removed the spear from his body.
"Congratulations, Jinx. Welcome to the Order," Raven said as she walked in front of Jinx.
"T-the Order?" Jinx asked.
"A group made up of me and the others. And now you're our newest member," Raven said.
"Thank you, Raven. But what about the others?" Jinx asked.
"Oh, don't worry. I still have plans for them, but you will be playing a bigger part than any of them. Now, take this portal back to my base, I'll meet you back there," Raven said.
"Aren't you coming with me?" Jinx asked.
"Not yet. There is still something I have to do here. Now go," Raven said. Jinx nodded her head and walked into the portal. When the portal closed, Raven pulled off a hidden camera she had attached to the front of her hood. She had such big plans for the footage she had, as it would destroy the image of heroes to the public. But right now, she had to focus on bigger things. She started to fly to the Titans Tower and teleported inside. Since she was a former Titan, the security system didn't activate. She then made her way to Robin's room and walked in to see a bunch of newspapers clippings on the wall and a bunch of coffee mugs scattered all over the table.
"Man, makes me wonder how long Batman stays up if Robin is like this," Raven said to herself. She activated his computer to see multiple screenshots from the many cameras in Jump City.
"He must have been looking for me," Raven said, before walking over to a corner in his room and blasted the wall to reveal a white briefcase with Robin's symbol on it. She grabbed it by the handle and looked at it to make sure it's the real thing.
"Oh, Robin. Thank you for letting me into your mind," Raven said, before contacting Slade.
"Slade, contact Ding Dong Daddy. Tell him I have something special for him," Raven said, before disappearing from the tower with the briefcase.
(Alaska, a few hours later)
The Titans have just finished another group of Brotherhood's robots and were about to leave for another encounter, when Robin's communicator suddenly went off. Robin checked it to see he wasn't expecting.
"Titans, someone's broken into the Tower and stole something!" Robin yelled. The others gasped in surprise.
"But that's impossible. The security system wasn't activated, otherwise we all would have been know," Cyborg said.
"It doesn't matter. Right now, the person is making their way to Texas! Let's go!" Robin said before running to the ship with the others before flying off.
And I shall end it here. Kid Flash is dead, Jinx has joined Raven and the others, and Raven has stolen Robin's briefcase. What will happen in the next chapter? Until then, let's get on to the reviews:
Invader Johnny: Exactly my point my friend.
AkumaNisshoku: Thank you very much.
Kevlar Spirit: Oh, don't worry she has big plans in mind.
Thank you all very much. Please favor, please follow, please review. I'll see you guys in the next chapter. Peace.
