Review Responses

TheForceIsStrongWithThisOne - Thanks for the reviews! I really appreciate it and yes I do seem to be a bit harsh on Beastboy and Raven. Surviving dire circumstances brings people closer together though right?

Stormplains - Glad you love the story, the Hive are pretty resilient, I like to think of them as the Titans' rivals.

Monkeysuncle1 - There is more coming yes, after this story is done I'll probably take a break before writing the next "Story Never Told" Probably work on "The Unsealed Truths" To finish up that trilogy. As for the action scenes, I enjoy writing them, I figure as superheroes the Titans won't exactly have time for the normal teenage stuff and get obstacles thrown in their path(Like the Hive trying to kill you.)


Jinx was angry, actually that was an understatement. Jinx was furious, this job was proving to be more trouble then she thought. Now it wasn't a matter of taking out the witch girl for money and some rep. Now she wanted them BOTH dead. They had both managed to hurt her pretty good, which meant time and money spent with a doctor to fix her and her team up. Time and money that could have been spent somewhere else. The pink-haired sorceress grit her teeth, damn those Titans, damn them to hell.

"Kill them both." Jinx ordered, Gizmo turned his attention from the retreating pair of superheroes to his leader. The pint-sized genius eyed her with concern.

"Uh you sure about that Jinx? I mean Slade only ordered us to kill the girl..." He started, but was silenced by his leader's fiery glare.

"I want both of them dead! Whatever it takes!" She snarled, her eyes glowing pink. Gizmo knew better than to hesitate, he shifted his tech into a jetpack and took to the skies. It probably wasn't in his best interest to be near Jinx at the moment. Actually, it probably wasn't in anyone's best interest to be near her.


Beastboy cursed his rotten luck. The area they were in was pretty crowded. Which meant innocents could get hurt, it also meant that if he decided to fight back, he wouldn't be able to go all out because of all of the civilians.

"Get out of here people! dangerous supervillains on the loose!" He shouted out, a few people heeded his advice and started to clear out of the street. Most however continued to gawk at him and Raven. They were commenting on how beat up they looked.

"RUN YOU MISERABLE MEATBAGS!" An ungodly voice suddenly yelled from directly behind him. Beastboy spared a glance at his passenger to see that Raven's eyes were glowing red. Her teeth had become razor-sharp fangs and was she...growling? His first instinct was to drop her and back away like she was a hot piece of charcoal, her appearance matched the one on that night she had traumatized Doctor Light. However, he managed to reign it in. Raven's demonic side was truly frightening and he wasn't sure if he'd ever get over that.

Raven's display got a reaction from the crowd however, they screamed in terror and in record time the street the two Titans were occupying was deserted.

"Sorry." Raven said quietly, her voice, eyes and teeth now back to normal. "I figured it's better to have them scared than hurt or worse." She continued, burying her face in Beastboy's left shoulder to hide it from him. The changeling licked his lips that felt suddenly very dry. He could tell the dark girl was afraid of what his reaction would be. How ironic that she had just scared the crap out of him and now she was in turn, scared of what he was going to do or say.

"Well..." Beastboy started, trying to think very carefully on what his next words would be "...I can't argue with that logic." The emerald Titan ducked into an alleyway both for cover and to hopefully lose the Hive in the maze of backalleys. However they were in the better part of downtown Jump City which meant the alleys were simpler in design then the ones near the docks. Escaping via alleys would be difficult.

"Beastboy..." Raven whispered, her breath brushing the back of his neck. "...I'm sorry."

"For what?" Beastboy asked, "Yeah okay, I admit you scared me with the devil-like thing you did back there, but it's fine. You were doing it to save lives, I get it. I don't hate you for it Raven."

"Actually I was apologizing for being a burden and having to be carried around." The cloaked Titan admitted, a smile crossing her lips. "But it's nice to know you don't hate me for going all demonic."

"I think scared stiff would be a more appropriate term." The morphling replied, "Not gonna lie I do get nervous when I see you do that."

"Don't worry, I would never use that on my friends." She told him, Beastboy didn't answer right away, Letting her words soak into his brain.

"I'll hold you to that Raven." He finally said. Raven didn't say anymore, resting her chin on his left shoulder. Beastboy didn't think it was possible, but she looked paler than usual. He needed to get her some real medical attention soon. They had to lose the Hive first though, which was proving more difficult than he originally thought. Briefly he wondered how the others were faring and if they were still having trouble with Overload and Cinderblock.

Beastboy continued to run through the alleys, he frowned as he continued, it was too quiet. The changeling's pointy ears were not picking up any noise, Which was a bad thing. Jinx and Gizmo weren't that far behind, he expected them to have attacked sooner. Where were they?

He got his answer when Gizmo and Jinx burst through the walls of the alleyway thirty feet in front of him. Gizmo came through the wall on his left, his tech in spider-form while Jinx had burst through the wall on his right. The pink villainess' teeth were clenched tight and her eyes were glowing bright pink.

"Surprise Crud-Eaters!" Gizmo called out, firing a laser blast from the turret near his right shoulder. At the same time Jinx waved her left hand from her right to her left horizontally, sending a wave of pink energy at the superhero duo. Beastboy only had moments to react.

"Hang on!" He yelled to Raven and the dark girl closed her eyes and tightened her grip on the changeling. She felt him move, felt the heat from the energy blasts and felt the smoke start to fill her lungs. The dark Titan began coughing, her body trying to expel the smoke from her body. Dimly she was aware that they were moving. Opening her eyes she was quite surprised at what she saw.

Beastboy was jumping from wall to wall, alternating from the left and right walls with each leap. He was doing it in his normal form too. Raven never knew her green teammate was so agile in his human body. He seemed to mostly rely on his animal forms in combat. That was clearly not an option while he was carrying her however. Perhaps the need to protect her and escape from danger was pushing his body to new heights? It could be possible.

The jade morphling wasn't thinking about how agile he was. He was understandably concerned with more pressing matters, like the two angry supervillains who wanted to kill his dark friend. Although he had avoided the brunt of the two attacks, he did not escape unscathed. A part of Jinx's pink energy wave had clipped him on his right hip as he made his first jump. The energy wave had ripped off a piece of his costume there, partially exposing his right hip, which was now starting to bleed. The green Titan growled in frustration, that was the last thing he needed right now, more injuries.

Beastboy landed on the left wall once more, just out of reach to grab the edge of the building's roof. He would have to make one more jump and land on the roof of the building to his right. Bending his legs, The changeling leapt for that roof.

"Incoming!" Raven alerted him, he didn't need to ask her where it was coming from, it could only be from below, where he had last seen Jinx and Gizmo. He quickly scanned below and behind him, spotting an orange laser blast heading right towards his back.

Right towards Raven, who probably couldn't take another hit in her condition.

Cursing quite loudly, Beastboy twisted in the air so that he was facing the laser blast. He leaned back as far as he could to lessen the damage, then the laser struck. It clipped him on his left shoulder and he hissed in pain, smoke emanating where the laser made contact. The blast knocked the morphling off course. Instead of landing on his feet on the building's roof like he intended, he was going to land on his head.

"Beastboy!" Raven called out, clearly in distress as they were falling quite fast towards the roof. The changeling clenched his teeth and snarled, fighting through the pain, he reached out with his right hand. His palm touched the floor of the building's roof, rather than his head. Fire seemed to lance through his right arm as it absorbed their impact, but he endured it. Hastily the emerald-skinned Titan bent his right arm slightly then straightened it. Pushing himself back into the air and performing a quick flip, landing on his feet finally. A little rougher than he originally planned, but at least they were still in one piece.

Beastboy had little time to celebrate as Gizmo flew above them in his jetpack, his turret aiming at the dark girl attached to his back. He fired, but the changeling managed to duck under the blast. It impacted the ground harmlessly a few feet in front of him. Beastboy growled once again at their current predicament, there was no more avoiding it, he needed to morph if they were going to have a chance, but it would be difficult to do some of his forms while carrying Raven. It was time to improvise.

"Don't kill me for this Raven." He said to his teammate quickly before morphing into a sasquatch, grabbing the dark girl by her cloak and flinging her straight into the air. Her outraged scream filled his ears and if the situation wasn't so grim he would have found it quite humorous.

Not wasting a moment, the changeling morphed into a stegosaurus. Striking out with his massive tail, he scored a direct hit on the tiny villain, knocking him back down into the alleyway with a loud crash. As soon as Beastboy's tail made contact with Gizmo, Jinx appeared on his left. The pink-haired villain leaping onto the edge of the roof, with a wave of her hands she hit his left flank with a burst of pink energy, toppling his huge form onto it's right side.

With no way to get back up on his feet quickly as a stegosaurus, Beastboy quickly reverted to his normal form. He stood up, preparing to dodge Jinx's next attack, when a sudden spike of pain jolted through his left side. The changeling quickly fell back to his knees, holding his left side. He'd been hit harder than he thought.

"Die!" Jinx shouted, making a vertical chopping motion with her right hand. Sending a large pink energy wave about three feet wide and twelve feet high across the rooftop, straight towards the morphling. The energy wave was about six feet from Beastboy when he felt a familiar cold sensation cover him. Suddenly he was yanked into the air just slightly above and a little to the left of Jinx's blast.

Beastboy's surprise quickly ceased when he felt the familiar arms of Raven wrap around his collarbone from behind. Her hands still glowing black from using them to lift him out of harm's way.

"Nice save." He told her, she gave the slightest of nods in response and Beastboy returned his attention to Jinx. If he was fast enough when he landed he could launch a counterattack. "Hold on tight I'm morphing into a horse." He informed his dark teammate.

True to his word, Beastboy morphed into a horse as soon as his feet touched the ground. Raven managed to keep her grip on his neck as he galloped toward a surprised Jinx. When he reached melee range with the pink-haired sorceress he reared up and kicked out with both of his forelegs. Jinx managed to cross her arms in front of her just in time, but the horse's powerful legs were enough to knock her off the roof's edge. She slammed into the wall of a building next to the one they were occupying before falling into the alleyway below.

Immediately Beastboy reverted to human form and made his way to the building's fire escape. Running down the steel steps as fast as he could. While he was doing this the green Titan took in his surroundings. The fire escape would drop him into a simple alley with only two paths, both led out into main streets. It made him nervous as there was still Mammoth who was unaccounted for. Being out in the open was not an ideal situation, but he had no other option.

With a choice of going to his left or right, Beastboy chose his left, it was closer to the open street and the sooner he got past the street and back into the relative safety of the alleys, the better. He was halfway across the street when an angry grunt to his left caught his attention. Looking down the street, he saw an enraged Mammoth, hefting a bus in each hand. The changeling sighed, well at least all the Hive members were accounted for now.

Mammoth wasted no time, flinging both buses at the superhero pair. One was just barely above the ground, it's tires only a foot from touching the pavement. The other was right above the first one, coming in sideways. They were approaching too fast, time seemed to slow down for Beastboy as he examined the two buses. He spotted a small gap in between them, right above the first one and below the second. He mentally cursed, it was going to be close.

Telling Raven to hold on tight, Beastboy started to run towards the incoming buses. He leapt into the air and positioned himself horizontally in the air, completely parallel with the street. He slid through the narrow gap between the buses, two tons of steel whizzed by above and below him. Raven had her eyes closed as she held on for dear life. Then it was over, the buses were past them and Beastboy landed safely back on his feet. The buses finally crashed together behind the two Titans, the sound of metal crunching together ringing in their ears.

Beastboy spared a quick glance at Mammoth who was shocked that the buses had missed and then the changeling was gone, Raven in tow. He was running for the nearest alley, trying to get as much distance from the massive villain as possible. He was almost to the alley when something struck his left foot, he cried out in pain and fell facefirst into the concrete. His impact jarred Raven from off his back and she fell onto her back in front of him, rolling a few feet before coming to a stop.

"Raven!" Beastboy called out, dragging his body closer to his fallen teammate. "Raven! You okay?" Raven responded with a groan of pain, she was lying on her right side, facing Beastboy.

"Yeah...I'll be okay." She replied to him. Beastboy tried to get to his feet, but his left foot protested, he yelped in pain and and fell back into a crouching position.

"That won't last." Jinx interrupted, her eyes and hands glowing pink as she walked towards them. "I guarantee it. Your miserable lives end here."

"Damn it." Beastboy cursed, there was nothing left he could do. Raven and him were at the end of their rope. The Hive was going to win.
