SORRY FOR THE LATENESS YOU GUYS.

"LEADER" - MAMMOTH'S BIG SISTER COMES TO JUMP CITY FOR MORE THAN JUST A VISIT.

"LEADER"

Jump City was surrounded by the night sky, the citizens safely protected in the comfort of their homes and most likely asleep. Being a citizen in Jump City wasn't always relaxing but one thing they looked forward to was the end of the day where a pillow as soft as feathers waited with a warm bed.

Unfortunately not all citizens in Jump City had that luxury.

The Teen Titans were five super-powered heroes that had a job to do, protect the city. Which means that their comfortable beds would have to wait due to the night-time crime taking place.

A robbery at a bank. Horribly cliche and played out but a crime none the less. The Titans had to deal with it. Especially since the robbers where four super-powered villains.

Robin grinned with confidence as a group of Billy Numerous clones surrounded him. With a bo staff clutched tightly in his hand Robin used his bo staff to kick his body upward and do a spinning kick, knocking all of the Billy clones down. From behind him one Billy tried to attempt a sneak attack.

His sneak attack was instantly brought to a close due to a starbolt hitting him in the back. Robin turned his head and smiled up at the floating Starfire, a small sign of affection to show his thanks, before quickly returning to the battle.

Mammoth acted like a beast with his attacks but his moves were nothing compared to Beast Boy. Beast Boy seemed to be running on speed today during this battle. His shifting was quick and precise. One second he was a light hummingbird and the next he was a heavy elephant.

Although there wasn't as much bodily movements Raven's battle with Kyd Wykkyd was just as exciting. His sharp upper cuts and her shields kept the battle moving. For a minute it appeared as though he had the upper hand in battle but Raven still had a trick up her sleeve. Kyd Wykkyd backed her up into a wall and just when he was about to deliver the final blow Raven phased herself into the floor. For a split second Kyd Wykkyd let the confusion cloud his sense of battle. That split second cost him dearly when Raven reappeared with glowing white eyes behind him.

Cyborg's battle appeared to be evenly matched as his moves clashed with Gizmo. Gizmo when airborn as he tried to gain the upper hand but his effort was futile. As soon as he rose into the air Cyborg raised his sonic cannon and shot down one of Gizmo's mechanical wings.

Gizmo let out a startled scream as he flew into a wall and slid to the floor with a thump. He opened his eyes and looked around at his team. He growled in frustration and slipped his hand into his pocket, taking out a small round device that looked much like a round version of Robin's exploding disc.

"Hive Five!" he bellowed, alerting his teammates who all looked towards him at the sound of his voice. "Retreat!"

The device exploded and smoke filled the air. When it cleared the Hive Five was gone.

"I can't believe we lost! AGAIN!" Gizmo cried as he waved his arms dramatically up and down while he floated in mid-air due to his hover pack. "I am so sick of losing to those snot-brains!"

"I wish Jinx were here," Mammoth muttered quietly before he sighed. "Or at least Seemore."

"Aw fish sticks to Seemore," Billy said with a wave of his hand. "He quit so good riddance to him."

"Listen, we can't think about those two," Gizmo said bitterly as he stood outside the door to the Hive Five secret base. "We need to regroup and come up with a plan to beat those Titans."

Mammoth nodded before a smirk spread across his face. "Right... but first things first. It's time for a snack!"

The door swished open and the boys all stepped inside. Mammoth was the first one who stepped inside, his mind set to run to the kitchen but he stopped, freezing completely frozen. His hands hung limp at his side and his mouth was agape.

"Hey, Mammoth, what's..." Gizmo's sentence trailed off as he looked at the visitor sitting on the couch looking smugly at the boys.

A tall, slender girl was sitting on the couch. She had on yellow sunglasses with orange earrings that were shaped like balls. She wore a matching orange neck guard and fingerless orange gloves that went past the elbow along with orange high heel boots that ended mid-thigh and went over the yellow pants she was wearing. The girl was wearing a matching yellow shirt that was sleeveless and exposed some of her stomach. A circle was cut in the middle of the shirt and exposed a bit of the curve of her breast. The girl was wearing red lip stick and had auburn hair styled like an affro.

The girl stood up and placed her hands on her hips. "Well, Mammoth, you're not going to just stand there are you? Come and give your big sister a hug."

"SISTER!" Billy shouted in disbelief. Kyd Wykkyd also looked shocked.

Mammoth paid them no mind and swept his sister up in a giant hug, finally getting over his shock after seeing her for the first time in so long. Mammoth twirled his sister around making her giggle in merriment. He placed her down and smiled at her.

"Shimmer... it's been so long," Mammoth said softly. "What are you going here?"

"Oh you know...," Shimmer shrugged indifferently. "After a while traveling gets to be a bit boring. I thought I just pay my little brother a visit."

"Little?" Billy questioned quietly.

Gizmo narrowed his eyes. "How'd you get in?"

Shimmer shrugged. "It was easy actually. Security stinks. But all that's going to change now that I'm here. First we need to-"

"Hold up just a minute darlin'," Billy interrupted, pointing a finger at Shimmer. "Who put you in charge? This here is out base."

"You're joking right?" Shimmer asked as she eyed Billy up. He didn't seem all that scary to her. "I came all the way here to try and help this pathetic team-"

Mammoth coughed.

"Oh, sorry. You know I would never insult you, Mammoth," said Shimmer. "Listen, I'm here to help. If you elect me as your leader-"

"This is my team!" Gizmo shouted angrily, balling up his hands into fist.

The room dipped into silence.

"You're team?" Billy questioned skeptically. He pointed his thumb at himself. "This here is my team. Ain't that right, Kyd Wykkyd?"

Kyd Wykkyd looked at Gizmo and then at Billy. He shrugged sheepishly, not having an answer.

"I thought I was leader..." Mammoth said quietly.

Shimmer burst into laughter. "This team doesn't even have a leader?!" Shimmer began to laugh harder.

The boys shifted uncomfortably in their spots, suddenly finding the floor very interesting to look at as they scuffed their feet against the floor. It never really dawned on them that they never picked a new leader to replace Jinx. During battle one of them would just throw out a command and the others would follow. Thinking about it now it was foolish but one thing was for sure, Shimmer wasn't helping the situation at all.

"Alright quit you're stinkin' laughin' we get the point." Billy said bitterly, crossing his arms.

"You boys are incompetent," Shimmer said coldly, crossing her arms. "Every team needs a leader and that leader might as well be me. I refuse to let my brother degrade himself any longer."

"You can't just barge in here and start calling the shots, Shimmer." Mammoth said. He loved his sister but even he knew when she was crossing the line.

Shimmer sighed. Her little brother had a way of getting to her. "You're right, Mammoth. I'm sorry. But that still doesn't change the fact that this team needs a strong leader."

"Why are you so interested in leading this team anyway?" Gizmo asked suspiciously.

"Because as good of villain I am being solo I'm not all that great. I need back up and who better than my own brother."

"I still think the Hive Five is better with just us guys."

Shimmer paused. "Hive Five...? But there's... never mind," Shimmer shook her head and then smiled. "I understand why you all are suspicious of me but I'll make you an offer. If you can prove to me that this team is worth something I'll back off. But if my thoughts are proven true and this is the dim-witted team I think it is you hand leadership over to me."

"What do we have to do to prove we're worthy?"

"Defeat the Titans battle."

The boys instantly became tense.

Gizmo gulped and looked at his teammates. "What do you guys say?"

Billy nodded. "I'm in."

Kyd Wykkyd nodded as well.

"Mammoth?"

Mammoth shifted uncomfortably in his spot. "Sorry guys... but I think I'll stick this one out." he said as he went stand besides Shimmer.

Shimmer smirked and raised one finger. "I'm giving you one chances to prove yourself. After that I'm in charge."

Gizmo snorted. "Don't hold your breath."

Beast Boy sighed gleefully as he jumped on the couch and snuggled up, making himself comfortable. Just as he was about to close his eyes Cyborg snatched him up by the collar of his shirt and picked him up so they were eye level.

"Not on the couch," Cyborg said sternly. "That's what your room is for."

Beast Boy yawned as Cyborg placed him on his feet and rubbed his eyes. "Sorry dude. That battle with the Hive Five got me sleepy.

Raven huffed. "I can't believe their still going by the 'Hive Five' when there are only four of them," she said in her regular monotone. "You think they would have learned to count by now."

"At least we were victorious today." Starfire said.

"True, but the Hive Five still escaped. We need to-"

"Dude," Beast Boy interrupted. "Can't it wait until tomorrow? I'm tired!"

"Beast Boy-"

Before Robin could complete his sentence the Titan alarm began to flare. Robin ran to the computer to see what the trouble was. He looked back at his team. "It's them."

Despite the whining Beast Boy made nothing needed to be said and the Titans headed out of the tower and into the city.

The Titans were quick to get to the scene of the crime. They arrived in Jump City's museum in no time thanks to Raven's powers. She managed to get them inside the dark and cold museum without a sound. Robin decided to keep it that way and gestured with his hand for the Titans to move inside.

They were careful to be silent so they could find the Hive Five with the element of surprise but the Hive Five were clearly off their game tonight.

Behind the mummy's casket were three members of the Hive Five hunched together to try and keep their bodies hidden. They may have went unnoticed had they not been talking in loud harsh whispers.

"Okay, here's the plan," said Gizmo. "Billy, you go and distract them while me and Kyd–"

"Hold up a minute partner," Billy said coldly. "Who put you in charge of the operation."

"Cut your whining, Billy. This isn't the time or place to-"

"Listen shorty, I contribute a lot to this team and I think I should at least get to make the game plan for once."

"Who are you calling short you snot brain-"

"Ah-hem."

The three Hive Five members gasped and looked up to see Robin leaning against the closed casket with a cool grin on his face.

Gizmo shook his head and glared at the Boy Wonder. "Hive Five, get him!"

Kyd Wykkyd made a move to attack but before he could Raven had her powers wrapped around him tight, trapping him in a bubble.

Gizmo, using his jet pack, flew at Robin. Before he could even get within a inch of the Boy Wonder Starfire grabbed his shoulder firmly and yanked off his mechanical book-bag, crushing it in her hand. Billy didn't even attempt to fight and took off running scared. He didn't look where he was going and bumped into Cyborg, falling to the ground. Billy backed up as the five Titans surrounded him.

Beast Boy sighed in relief and looked at his fellow teammates. "Now can we get some sleep?"

Shimmer's mouth was agape as she watched the screen before her. Little did Gizmo, Billy and Kyd Wykkyd know her and Mammoth had been watching the whole battle from the Hive Five secret base.

"That was pathetic! They were caught so easily... how... why...," Shimmer looked up at her brother who was standing behind her. "Your teammates are so stupid!"

Mammoth sighed. "Shimmer-"

"Mammoth, I know they are your friends but just look at this," she said softly, gesturing towards the screen. "You need a leader. I can be that leader but in order for that to happen I need to know you have my back. Do you?"

Mammoth smiled a small smile. "Always."

The night was cold and dark as Gizmo, Billy and Kyd Wykkyd sat in their jail cell. Billy and Kyd Wykkyd both had on restraining handcuffs to block their powers while Gizmo had on the regular old fashion ones. Kyd Wykkyd and Gizmo sat on the left facing Billy who sat on the right. They each had their heads bowed in shame. The Titans defeating them, again, had been a huge upset to their egos.

Gizmo rose his head, suddenly becoming alarmed. "Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Billy asked.

The wall in the middle of them had a orange center in the middle which began to grow, melting off a huge piece of the wall. The boys got up and backed away, their backs pressed up against the bars in their jail cell. The wall exploded and crumbled to the ground, causing dust to cloud the air. The alarm began to ring as the dust faded. The three Hive Five boys gasped with shock. Shimmer was standing there with a cool smirk on her face and a laser gun in hand, which Gizmo instantly recognized to be one of his creations, and Mammoth by her side.

"So... who wants to join my team?" Shimmer asked with a self-satisfied smirk.
