I'm so sorry for taking this long to update. It's the longest I've ever gone without one. It wasn't a matter of being busy, more like a matter of being lazy. I could have written and posted this back on Tuesday, but I slacked off. I have had stuff to do though. One thing is fix stuff with people online. More like person. A fellow author on here and I haven't seemed as close lately, and I'm trying my best to make things like they used to be. She's writing a long journal thing that has me way too anxious. Other than that, I have just started counseling for what they call "high anxiety". Right... Okay, at least I'm finally updating. I'm taking over an hour on my birthday to bring you a hopefully stellar chapter in this story. Oh, and to any fans of her, Jncera does still exist in the world. Anyways, read on and enjoy please.

I do not own Teen Titans.

Chapter 6: The Killer Revealed?

All Titans Views

"It's a body," Beast Boy said, carefully tapping the body on the floor with his boot. Raven gave him a look. "Thank you captain obvious," She said in a monotone. Robin was busy inspecting the body. It was obviously not that old. It was still decaying. Actually, it didn't seem to have decayed much at all, but the stink was terrible. Robin lifted the body's head, a teen boy's, and then lightly put it back down, drawing his hand to his chin to think. This added a whole new twist.

It took a little bit to calm Bumblebee down. She was screaming for a while. For being a hero, you would think that she had seen some horrible stuff, but obviously not. Cyborg had comforted her though, holding her in his large metal arms as the others arrived. He was beginning to really hate whoever was doing this. Killing his friends, making Bumblebee cry. He wanted to put an end to it all. Maybe they really were better off outside in the storm. But he doubted it.

When Speedy and Robin arrived, they had begun to check out stuff immediately. The body had been in the basement freezer, where they kept extra food and water. It was still mildly chilled when Robin got there. Everyone was talking in hushed voices, exchanging theories and opinions with one another. Suddenly, they all heard footsteps on the stairs, and they turned to see a suspicious looking Aqualad slowly coming down them. His looks turned grim as he spotted the body.

"Another body," He stated simply. "But no one we know," Robin said. Aqualad shrugged his shoulders. He obviously had no clue as to whose body this was either. He walked over next to Beast Boy, who nodded at him quickly. Aqualad returned the gesture, and then turned his gaze over to Speedy. "No one has any idea who this is?" Speedy asked. Everyone looked down at the teen. Blonde hair, matted with dark red blood. Nothing else really looked normal on him. The decay and frozen thing did not mix.

"How could a body have gotten in our tower?" Starfire asked. There was still no answer to that question, so everyone just gave a shrug. "And one more thing," Cyborg said, waving his hand to where the generator should have been. "It's gone, how?" Raven asked. Cyborg shrugged. It really made no sense to him either, so he just tightened his hold around Bumblebee, whose sobs had slowed after everyone else appeared. She looked up into Cyborg's face. He knew what she wanted, to go home.

"What are we gonna do now?" Cyborg asked. "I was thinking maybe stick together, it's obviously been a mistake to split up," Robin said. The group looked uneasy at this, and Aqualad spoke for them all. "I don't trust a single one of you," He said. No one got angry. No one seemed upset. Almost all of them agreed. Everyone there was a suspect. Cyborg and Bumblebee were the only ones who could vouch for each other, and there was no proof that they both weren't in on it.

"So what? I'ts back to separating? This is ridiculous!" Speedy yelled. He just couldn't take it anymore. They were all very smart teens, but it was just plain idiotic to keep splitting up like this. Their friends were dying, and most of deaths occured when they were alone. Speedy was starting to get frustrated with how everyone was acting. He trusted them all. How could a hero be a killer? It just didn't make any sense. They'd have to be mad just to do anything of the sort. Then again, Beast Boy always seemed a little off that wall to Speedy... but still.

"Well if none of us are willing to stick together, it's our only choice," Robin said. Speedy let out a snarl and stomped off. Aqualad slowly back away and followed. The others stood still for a moment, before Raven teleported herself away. Starfire flew off. Robin gave Beast Boy a pat on the shoulder, then trudged up the stairs. Cyborg and Bumblebee left, holding each other. Beast Boy was left all alone with the body. He tapped it with his boot one more time, laughing out of nerves as he left the room as well.

Nearly an hour after the two Titans found the body in the basement, the killer was still stalking around. They knew who they were going to take out next. It only made sense to take at least one of them out. Cyborg and Bumblebee were the only members of the team that had stuck together. Something had to be done, to one or both of them. They had been walking around in the shadows, occasionally stopping to look for the one they feared most. It was the Titan they least wanted to run into, but they would die as well... in the end perhaps.

'WWJD' They thought to themselves. "What would Johnny do," The killer whispered out loud. "Johnny" was anyone's killing idol. A comic book character that was known as a very harsh murderer. He had shown the killer how much fun killing could be. But this wasn't about fun. No, this was about something completely different. Revenge? No. More like... making people get what they truly deserve. Even if the killer was wrong, it was too late now. A third of the team was dead.

The murderer turned the corner, trying to plan out who they would kill last. It was a hard choice. Everyone left was a danger to them. They needed a plan, and a good one. They had really done this on a spur of the moment thing. Not really. The thoughts of killing the Titans had developed in their head over the past couple weeks, and they had only just decided to do it tonight, with everyone there. A mistake to try and take them all on? No, not at all. After all, none of them held trust with one another anymore, so they were glad to know that.

The killer stood still for a few moments, trying to think of where Cyborg and Bumblebee might have headed to. If Cyborg was allowed to get a small recharge, it would be a hell of a lot harder to do this. His sensors would give them away no matter where they were hiding. And if he got a chance to fix his light, hiding would be a hell of a lot harder as well. Perhaps they should kill Cyborg before Bumblebee. "Whichever one gets in my way first," They decided as they walked on.

The killer ended up in the main room. It was empty. They looked out the window. The storm was still going strong. This was a good thing for the killer. If it was a raging area of death and destruction out there, then no one would dare try and leave the tower. None of them could survive the harsh weather. The killer place a hand against the glass. It was freezing cold. The temperature was dropping as it grew late. "Good," They said. Then the killer turned around. It was time to begin their next attack.

Cyborg's View

Bumblebee and him didn't go very far. They had relocated themselves into a training room. It looked as if no one had been there in ages. Well, it was their least used room for training. Beast Boy occasionally went down to it to train alone. He had been that a lot lately. It was kind of strange. Perhaps that beast inside of him had messed him up more than they originally thought. Cyborg shook the thought away. He didn't want to think of his best friend as a killer.

Bumblebee had finally calmed down to a point where he didn't have to hold her to get her to stop screaming. He missed it a little. Cyborg kind of had a thing for her, ever since his little tenure at the H.I.V.E. She was sitting on a bench while Cyborg messed around with the weights. All the of the things in here were far too light for him to have any difficulty with, so he turned around and joined her on the bench, putting an arm around her slowly. She didn't object.

"Don't try to tell me that things will be okay, we both know that things could end bad instead of good," She said sadly. Cyborg sighed, pulling her closer and leaning his head down on hers. It was a shame to see the team breaking apart like this. Someone must really hate them to do something so evil. Cyborg knew who the usual suspects were. Slade. Red X. Perhaps a villain that they had taken down before. It could be someone with powers, trying not to reveal who they were. There were a million suspects.

"Okay, things might not be okay. I can't promise that we'll both make it out of here alive, but I can promise that I'll make our time together fun," He said. Bumblebee looked up at him and smiled, wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tightly. Cyborg felt mildly shocked for a moment before holding her back, feeling good for the first time all night. Of course, that moment would be blown away by what came next, and Cyborg never even saw it coming.

"Cyborg," Bumblebee said quietly. He looked down at her. Her expression was serious, and it got Cyborg worried. "Do you like me?" She asked. Cyborg froze in his spot, looking down at her nervously. He frowned, trying to not show good emotions. "As a friend, yeah," He answered after a moment. She gave him a small smile. "Only as a friend?" She asked, getting onto her knees to look taller. He gulped. "Uh- yeah..." He answered. Bumblebee smiled and leaned forward, stopping just before his lips. Cyborg couldn't help it. He kissed her.

It was amazing. So amazing that he held his human eye open for a moment in surprise. His first kiss was better than he expected, as she pulled him closer and wrapper her arms around him tightly. He snapped his eye shut, placing a hand behind her head to kiss her easier. He felt her tongue slide into his mouth, and did the same with his own tongue. Cyborg felt her back away, his mouth hanging open in surprise. "Only as a friend, huh?" Bumblebee said and laughed. Finally, he smiled. "I lied," He said. And then they both began to laugh.

Bumblebee collapsed on top of him, laughing hard and holding her sides as he tried to keep her up. But Cyborg was laughing too hard as well, his human eye watering as he gasper for air. They fell onto the ground together, Bumblebee landing on top of him. The silence stopped in an awkward way as Cyborg shot up. "Sorry," He mumbled apologetically. He reached his hand out, which Bumblebee took. He lifted her up, now smiling at her. Then he saw someone. The killer.

"What is it?" Bumblebee asked quickly. Cyborg had no time to answer her. The killer had raised their arm, and Cyborg saw something shiny in their hand just before it was thrown. Bumblebee jerked slightly, falling into him. Cyborg looked down. A small blade was sticking out of her back. He grabbed onto her as she began to fall. "Bee!" He yelled. Suddenly another blade shot out, hitting her in the neck. Blood shot out weakly as another blade plunged into her back. Cyborg dropped her to the ground. She was dead. He angrily looked up at the killer, but found a blade flying at him. He raised his arm and blocked it, the knife sticking into his metal arm. The killer turned to run.

"Oh no you don't!" Cyborg yelled. He ran forward, lunging and grabbing onto the killer's arm. They turned around, shoving Cyborg back and raising their hand. "You..." Cyborg whispered. Something flew out, smashing Cyborg into the wall and pinning him against it. He struggled to free himself. The killer walked forward, and Cyborg saw them in the dim emergency lights for the first time. Then he began to scream for help.

Speedy's View

Simply put, he was freaked. Everyone was acting like an idiot. The smartest thing you can do when a killer is around is stick together. What do they do? They split up! Speedy should have argues more, but he was just so damn mad at everyone. If one of them was the killer, they would never have been able to kill them all off at once. If there was an outside party doing the killing, the too would not be able to kill them all. But here Speedy was, all alone and walking around looking for someone.

Thump! Speedy jerked his head around. There was a loud noise, like metal hitting the floor. He started to walk towards it quickly. It could be the killer, someone in need, maybe even something good! He began to run full speed towards the noise, when he heard a yell. Then he heard another loud thump. He was getting close. Speedy turned the corner, looking around at several possible turns. Then the screaming went off. He took a right. "Hello?" He yelled loudly. A scream came in reply. Speedy ran to the end of the hall, throwing open a door. He stumbled back as something crashed into him, and he heard footsteps running away. But Speedy quickly focused on what was going on in that room.

He stared open mouthed at the sight in front of him. Cyborg was hanging limply in the air against a wall, something holding him up. He looked down in front of Cyborg on the ground, and felt horror consume him as he saw Bumblebee on the ground. She was bleeding badly, and she looked dead already. Speedy heard footsteps behind him, and he turned to see Robin and Starfire running towards him. They to stopped in the room, gazing in shock as the sight. "No," Starfire said. She turned to look at Robin as Cyborg groaned. Then everyone turned to look at what was holding Cyborg against the wall. A very large red x.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Red X. Hurray. But is it really Red X? Someone in the suit maybe? Who knows? I do! I began writing this a few days ago and now I finally finished. I just wasn't in the mood to do any writing until recently. I finally updated though! And it's only been... two and a half weeks. Longest time that I've gone. Oh well, don't worry. I'll be updating much much sooner. Unless I get depressed, which is likely with how my friendship is going with someone... Too bad! Review please.

Next Chapter: The Titans gather once again, and this time the questions are focused on Robin and his old alter ego... Red X. But did Robin do it? Or is it someone else?

"Woah woah woah, slow down there. There's a New Mexico?"
