Chapter 10: Flyswatter

The corvette drove down the highway towards its destination. A heavy rain was falling from the darkened sky onto the Earth below. The Grey road gleamed with the fallen moisture, as where the leaves. "Okay, so how long till we get there?" Jinx asked as she looked out the window at the scenery. "I saw about a few more minutes." Python replied. "You said that an hour ago." Jinx stated. "I'm not a damn map." He said. "Well, it's mostly Blood's fault." Jinx said. "You can say that again." He said. Ever since the failure with the tidal wave machine, there had been no response from him for a while. But, three weeks into the "trip" to England, Jinx's communicator had gone off, and the caller was none other then he. He told them to get to his newest location as soon as possible. By the tone of his voice, it sounded like his latest plan had failed.

"There it is." Python said as Jinx looked out the front window. The car had stopped in front of a huge, metal gate. Behind it stretched a paved road that lead straight to a huge manor. It was painted in a grayish color that matched the sky's color and tone. Dark and dreary. A huge oak door was below a giant stained glass window that over looked the front of the yard. Other windows dotted the house as well as huge spikes that jetted from the roof. "Nice place he's got here." Python said as the gate opened and he drove the car in. As the car drove along they road, the two noticed the multitude of guards, armed with M4 Carbines and wearing yellow clothing, patrolling the ground and they also saw a few on the balconies and roof tops. "I can tell you one thing about Blood," Jinx said," protection is his number one priority."

They pulled up in front of the doors and got out of the car. Python's bag was on his bag, carrying his weapons in case of emergency. His two Colts remained in docker's clutches, all set to be pulled out and fired. It was strange to keep his weapons armed around the boss, but he could never be too careful. The doors were opened as a guard led them inside. The two walked up two flights of stairs, noticing numerous guards as they came to a huge set of doors. From the outside, they heard crashes and yelling. "Good luck." The guard said as the doors opened up. The two then walked in, unaware of what faced them, as the doors closed behind them. Inside was a huge office, but it was a mess. Holes were in the walls, reveling their plaster insides. Pieces of chairs and glass items lay scattered on the ground. Two bookcases were in half and on the ground, their contents ripped up and scattered. A large desk stood in front of the stained glass window. And leaning on the desk was Brother Blood, panting heavily and muttering to himself. "Blood?" Jinx asked. As soon as she said that, she ducked her head to avoid a glass ashtray Blood had thrown in their direction. It shattered into many pieces as it made contact with the wall.

"You should have been here an hour ago." Blood said through clutched teeth. "Upset?" Python asked as he surveyed the area. "Upset? Upset? I am past upset! My master plan, my empire, my school…in ruins!" he then ran over to the wall and punched another hole in it." "What exactly happened?" Jinx asked. "All I can tell you is that the Titans and their new division, Titans East, came in and ruined my plan! And if you two hadn't of been on your little vacation, I could of wiped them out!" "Okay, Okay," Python said," don't need to be such a nutjob." "I have all rights to be one," Blood stated," and, I am going to make sure that you pay for getting nearly all of my students to abandon me! One of my students, Bumblebee, was one of the Titans who betrayed me." "Her? I thought she was dead on loyal to you." Jinx said. "Well, you thought wrong. I want you too to find her and kill her!" "And what if they trace the killings to you?" Python asked. "They can't trace a dead man." Blood replied. "That's why you're not planning anything big." Python added. "No, I just want to hang on to my riches and my remaining students for now. Please go now." With that, the two exited his office, hearing more yelling and crashes as the door closed behind them. "So, how do we kill her?" Jinx asked. "She's am insect," Python began," so we just need a flyswatter."

A few hours later…

Bumblebee flew over the city, her wings flapping against the night air. As she scanned the city, her mind raced with confusion. It had only been a few hours after Blood was beaten, and they had she gotten a call from the Titans saying they needed her help. Her team members hadn't received the calm so she decided to go alone. She wanted on last solo mission before she had to be a team member. She had worked alone in the past, and had liked it. So, she guessed Titans East wouldn't mind. Her communicator went off, signifying the area where the communication had come from. She touched down in the area, folded up her wings, and looked around. It was a parking lot near some office building. The building was across from an apartment complex. Other then the lack of cars, multitude of garbage, and graffiti on the walls, there was nothing else here. "Guys," she called out into the deserted area," you their? Its kind of sad that I've only been gone for three hours and you still need my help." Just then, a purple beam shot out from the shadows and hit her back, sending her right into the office building's cemented wall. As she slowly got up, Jinx came out of the shadows and said, "You will be the one needing help."

"Jinx. Long time no see." Bumblebee said. "And it will be the last time!" Jinx replied as she shot out another energy shot. Bumblebee jumped over it and delivered a kick to Jinx. She blocked it and delivered her own punches to Bumblebee. The two fighters then became embroiled in a raging fistfight. It was then that Bumblebee activated her wings and flew over Jinx. "Get down here!" she yelled. "Make me! Bumblebee said. "No wonder Blood like you, bitch!" Jinx stated. "At least it lasted longer then you're relationship with Cyborg!" Bumblebee yelled back. Jinx then grew in anger and fired a hex beam at her, which was dodged. Bumblebee drew her blasters and fired off at her. Jinx used her acrobatics to dodge the blasts. As she was dodging the blasts, Jinx asked, "Is that the best you can do?" "No. I'll show you." Bumblebee replied. With that, she activated her shrink mode and headed straight towards Jinx. Jinx tried to hit here, but the speed and small size of Bumblebee made it near impossible to hit. Her, so she had to endure blow after blow. After what seemed like an hour, Jinx leaned against the office building's wall, her face bruised from the fight. Bumblebee walked over and asked, "Is this what you call a fight?" she asked. "No, its called playing weasel!' Jinx yelled.

Just then, Bumblebee's chest exploded out her left side as a piece of the wall near Jinx exploded only a few feet from her side. Blood erupted from the wound, splashing onto Jinx's costume. Bumblebee's eyes opened wide and what happened and tried to speak, but only more blood shot from her mouth. She then feel to the ground, blood pouring onto the parking lot. Then, from the front door of the apartments, Python walked out, a PSG-1 sniper rifle strapped to his shoulder. He threw it to the ground and ran over to Jinx. As he put her hand over his shoulder, she said, "The things I do." "You did a good job," he replied, "I'll leave the gun here. Get the message out that someone wants the Titans gone." "I like the idea. But, you owe me for dry-cleaning." Jinx said. "Anything for you." Python stated. The two then headed of into the night, the dead body still on the ground and the murder weapon near it, still hot form the shot fired.

Chapter 11 is coming soon.
