Chapter 14: "Betrayal of the Twins"

Jinx and Cyborg left the movie theatre hand in hand. They received stars from time to time as they walked through the parking lot; either for being Titans, a Cyborg and a Goth, or a biracial couple. They didn't mind. As they drove home in his "baby" they made their way through downtown. Surprisingly, there was barely anyone there. They rode, laughing and talking until Jinx saw something.

"Vic.. Stop the car!"

He pressed the brakes suddenly and she quickly undid her seatbelt, opened the door violently, and ran out.

"GIZMO! Oh my god! Vic! Come here!"

Cyborg quickly raced out of the vehicle to his girlfriend's side. He looked at her holding the green clad dwarf teen in her arms. Blood was on the back of his head and his backpack was smashed.

"We have to get to the tower!" Tears were in Jinx's eyes. She didn't know if he would survive.

He only nodded and opened a back door for them.

"Hold on baby." He said as he slammed his metal foot to the floor.

In minutes, they were at the Tower's garage. Cyborg had already informed the others. Raven levitated him and teleported everyone to the infirmary. Before setting him on a bed, she placed her hand on the back on his head and tried to heal the wound the best she could. She then placed her hands on other parts of his body with injuries, including his ribs, arms, legs and spine.

"He's lost a lot of blood" she stated in a worried monotone.

"Whatever you need, I'm here." Beast Boy told Cyborg.

"Go to the back and get a bag of B negative blood."

Not asking how he knew, Beast Boy obeyed.

After a while, his condition was stabilized and he was attached to monitors checking his vital signs.

"Who would do that?" Jinx was seated in a chair beside the bed with Cyborg sitting by her.

"I don't know. But I'll make sure he gets better.." he hugged her tightly, not wanting to let go.

"Vic, please, he was my first friend…" She thought back, her parents were unknown to her, all she knew is, for some reason, they went to India. They were killed by bandits and she was left to suffer. She was found with amnesia and a simple ID bracelet with her name and birthday on it that they forgot to take. 'Jinx' was her only name; her surname was badly scratched and was illegible. She was taken in by a witch who sought an apprentice. She was one of five. As her powers grew, so did the danger for everyone around her. All of her peers met deadly bad luck. Feeling completely alone, she tried to commit suicide with a knife. However, someone intervened.

The blade was batted out of her hand. Eye hers flew up quickly to see a small boy in front of her.

"What the fuck are you doing!"

"I.."

"I know how you feel.. I was like you. You're different, you feel alone.. But there's a group for people like us.."

"Like us?"

"Mmm-hmm, it's called the H.I.V.E…."

Back to present

"He saved my life… and was my friend…"

"I'll save his… for you and because he's become mine.."

Titans East POV

Bumblebee searched the entire tower. She couldn't find any trace of the guys.

"Mas and Menos are usually the first ones I see…. And where's Mal?" her thoughts plagued her; was there a call and she didn't hear it?

She made her way to the tower's living room to see..

"Mas! Menos! Where's everyone at?"

The teens slowly turned around. On their foreheads there was a bloody G and their eyes had very small pupils.

"What's goin' on?"

"Your little friends here, mistakenly made a deal with a demon…"

She whirled around to she a red demon before her. His eyes glowing yellow. Behind him, her friends were tied up with a Slade collar on each of their necks. Slade stood behind them, he would be pardoned by Trigon and would allow him to do as he wished as long as he took out the teen heroes. He was also instructed to leave Beast Boy and Raven to him and Goth.

"Slade!"

"No shit?" Goth mockingly turned around and looked at his partner. "Well, I'm Goth. Deathstroke and I are working for Trigon."

"I would be working for Goth but Trigon had his say.."

"Deathstroke?"

"Yes, it's my name. 'Slade' is a name for a weak mortal.."

"I don't care who or what you are! You're goin' down!" She raised her laser Bs and took a stance, only to be knocked over by a red and white flash.

The twins handed the weapons to Goth and bowed slightly. "Ah, thank you Mas and Menos.." he crushed them in his hands and spoke again. "These two said that they'd do anything to be with Starfire… I shall give them their wish…"

"You monster!"

"No, demon.. Welcome to your Hell, Karen.."

Goth raised his hands and objects everywhere began to explode.

"Boys, take her. Deathstroke, let's get these guys out of here and watch the bond fire…" Goth's menacing grin shown brightly through the flames. As the tower burned, he laughed. He was in complete ecstasy. He had toppled the East Titans with the greatest of ease, and the East Squad was next.

(Oh, you're good Poopy Penguin…. How'd you know? Now everyone get ready, Goth, Slade (or Deathstroke), Trigon, and the others will shake this world to it's core…)
