Chapter 2! Thank You all for reading!

I don't own any of the characters in this story. Yet.

On with the show!

Middleton 8:15 P.M.

Kim spent that night at her parents house. Everyone tried their best to comfort her, but only one person could take away her fears and anxiety, and no one there knew where he was.

Kim was never more then a few feet from the Kimmunicater, hoping for any news or message that could at least point her in the right direction.

Wade beeped in. "Sorry, whoever took him must've disabled the tracking sensors."

"Then they must know what they're doing. Who has that kind of expertise? Ron wouldn't have given up without a good reason." Kim responded.

"I do have some good news. Security cameras in the area, set up to discourage vandals, caught a few shots of the fight. I made stills of the attackers, and found something interesting. Take a look at this." Wade showed a detailed zoom of one of the stills. It featured a crest on one of the attacker's uniforms. "Do you recognize it?"

Kim studied the pictures of the attackers and the crest, but drew a complete blank.

"I've never seen any of them before."

"I'll run a search. With a little luck, we may find Ron before the night is over." Wade signed off. Neither of them had much hope that it would be this easy.

H.I.V.E Academy , somewhere in the Pacific Northwest 9:30 P.M.

"Good work." the three attackers smiled at this rare praise from Brother Blood, the strict leader of the HIVE.

"If it's not being too nosey, what did you want him for?" Jinx, the purple haired girl, asked.

"As you well know, our past encounters with the Teen Titans," the mere mention of the name filled the headmaster with anger, "have been less then successful."

At this point, Gizmo, the small mechanical genius, interrupted. "Then why get some other razzafrazzen super heroes on our tail? Don't we have enough trouble?"

This act of impertinence would usually get a very harsh reply from Blood, but he was pleased with his agents' success, and let the boy escape with a stern glare.

"As a result, I've decided to form an alliance with someone new. A certain Dr. Dementor has been working in secret for some time, harassed by team Possible. He has agreed to join forces with us if we ridded him of that problem."

"And, what does he have to offer?" the third attacker, a giant of a man known fittingly enough as Gigantus (?) asked.

"If there is one thing that we have in short supply here, its money." Brother Blood replied.

"Every time we attempt to raise funds through bank robberies or other such endeavors, the titans interrupt, stopping my schemes before they can be developed. Dementor has agreed to put his vast fortunes to our cause as part of any partnership."

"Then why didn't we just kill them both, rater than capturing one of them?" Jinx again asked.

"I was told that the only way to destroy team Possible was to separate Mr. And Mrs. Stoppable. Together, they would have been formidable, but apart, they could be taken down with relative ease. And killing them would have attracted unwanted attention. So long as Mrs. Stoppable and company think they can retrieve him on their own, they won't seek outside assistance. And then, we can deal with them at our leisure, as quietly as possible."

The three young villains realized that they had found out everything they were likely to learn, and so quickly left while their leader was still in a good mood.

In a holding cell on the floor below, Ron huddled in a corner as he prepared for his first night alone in months.

"Dear God, please keep Kim safe. Help her to accept whatever happens."

"Oh yeah, and GET ME OUTTA HERE!"

Middleton 6:30 A.M.

Kim woke up with a start. Her sleep had been fitful at best, as she could only think of Ron's warmth, and of how she would give anything to have him next to her. Her old room seemed cold and unfamiliar, as the it was no longer home to her.

"Ron, where are you?"

The Kimmunicater beeped it's familiar tune, and she leapt out of bed, hoping for the best.

"Good news!" Wade smiled on the screen.

"You found him? Where is he?" Kim almost shouted at the screen.

"Not that good. But I do know who took him. The crest and assailants both belong to the HIVE academy, a shadowy school for villains." Wade said, hoping not to crush Kim's hope anymore then necessary.

"Where are they? When do we go?" Kim's only thoughts were of rushing out the door to the rescue.

"Not so fast. They're not that easy to find, and they keep moving. However, there is someone, or rather , a group of some ones, who have experience in fighting them."

"Who?" Kim's voice as quiet, as her hope quickly diminished.

"The Teen Titans, based out of Jump City. I'll see if I can get their help. Don't worry Kim. I'm sure they'll help out, and we'll have Ron back in no time." Wade signed off.

Dr. Mrs. Possible entered the room.

"I heard Wade. Is there anything we can do to help?"

As she spoke, Jim, Tim, Joss, and Dr. Mr. Possible crept in.

"Yeah, Kim, if we can do anything, just say the word." Jim and Tim chimed in.

"Thanks, guys. But now our hopes depend on some team. If they accept, then there's a chance. If not?" Kim broke down, as her mother tried to comfort her.

Titan's Tower, Jump City. 11:30 A.M

Robin and Cyborg hunched over their controllers, embroiled in a racing game. Behind them, Starfire and Beast Boy were cheering for Robin. Starfire, because she and Robin had been going out together for the last 6 months. Beast Boy, because he was racing the winner, and knew from experience that he stood little chance against the half robot.

"What the?" The metal man cried out as Robin passed him in the final lap.

"Congratulations on your victory, Robin!" Starfire cried out, then she wrapped her arms around Robins neck and gave him her traditional 'victory kiss' reserved just for him. Since they had become an item, her kiss had grown from a simple peck to a rather passionate kiss, the only public display of affection he would allow without complaint.

"If you two a finished making out, I'd like to kick your racing butt now!" Beast Boy impatiently grumbled.

Robin broke from Starfire's embrace somewhat reluctantly, and said to the green elf, "Cy couldn't do it, and neither can you."

The game began to load when the screen when black. Everyone looked back at Raven, who was reading.

"Wasn't me this time." was her reply.

Suddenly, the face of an unfamiliar boy appeared on the screen.

"Hello. Are you the Teen Titans?" the boy asked.

Robin replied, "Yes. Who are you?"

"I'm Wade Load, tech expert and mission supervisor for team Possible, and I need your help."

"What kind of help?" Robin asked. He had been lured into traps before, and was unsure if the boy in front of him could be trusted.

"I seems that we've had trouble with friends of yours. The HIVE has captured Ron Stoppable, one of the three members of our team. Were not sure why, and we want you to help us get him back." Wade responded.

At the mention of the HIVE, Cyborg exploded.

"The HIVE? They're still out there? Let's take 'em down!"

"Not so fast, Cy. What if it's a trap?" Robin responded.

"Please, trust me." Wade pleaded over the screen. "Kim, Ron's wife, isn't holding up well. She'll come to you as soon as you accept."

"Well, Titans, what do you say? Its up to you." Robin decided to put the matter to vote.

"Let's Kick some Brother Blood butt!" was Cyborg's eager response.

"Dudes, I'm in!" Beast Boy announced.

"Let us help them, friends." Starfire decided.

"Why not?" Raven calmly added.

"Then it's settled. You may tell Mrs. Stoppable that we're in, and will set about getting the hideout's location immediately."

"Thanks, guys. I knew I could count on you." Wade signed off, tremendously grateful to finally have good news.

There ends Chapter two. I hope to bring the story to a successful conclusion in the next chap. Review!
