The HIVE And Notes

We all rushed to the bank, trying to get there as fast as possible. Raven flew me, Starfire flew Robin, and Beast Boy flew Cyborg there. Man… flying felt great. I mean, doing it felt so free for some reason. I guess normally I'm on the ground, unless I jump up in the air or something. Funny thing is if I were in the HIVE, I would have never thought much of flying. I guess being in the Titans just makes me want to live life to the maximum.

We arrived at the bank in just a few minutes. "Guys, this should be easy. Only two HIVE members and six of us!" said Robin. "Let's just finish this before my show comes on!" exclaimed Beast Boy tauntingly, directing it to the HIVE members. "There may be only two HIVE members, but we fight better than you snot-for-brains!" yelled Gizmo. "Let's just start fighting before tomorrow, huh?" asked Raven.

We all lunged at the HIVE members at the same time. Three Titans to each member of the HIVE… this was going to be easy. Cyborg, Beast Boy, and me began fighting Gizmo. Starfire, Robin, and Raven started with Mammoth. Cyborg has always hated Gizmo, due to his hacking abilities. I myself never liked him…he is just too immature. Not like Beast Boy immature, I mean really spoiled snobby little kid immature.

Gizmo began shooting lasers at us. Not his normal lasers, either… they seemed to be larger lasers and stronger. Beast Boy transformed into a panther and attempted to jump on him from behind, using the element of surprise. Gizmo however, heard him jumping through the air. He shot Beast Boy quickly without precision on the leg. Beast Boy flew backwards, yelping in pain. He transformed back to his human form. His leg was smoking, and it was obvious he wouldn't be able to stand up.

"Gizmo!" I yelled, enraged at his attack to my friend. I began shooting my bolts towards him. They always hit him when we fought, since he was no good at dodging or evading. However, he jumped gracefully (for once) in the air. He did a double flip and landed behind me. I was shocked for a brief moment, but turned around and began shooting bolts once again.

They still missed, however. Cyborg came charging up o Gizmo, and his hand transformed into his famous sonic cannon. He had been tended to Beast Boy, bandaging him so he wouldn't feel as much pain as he had been feeling. Cyborg been shooting, and Gizmo dodged everyone one of them. Gizmo had his back turned to me—big mistake. His laser was charging up, obviously going to hit his target. I shot a bolt at his system. Electricity crackled from it, shocking him just a little. "Ah! Get it off of me, you stupid pit-sniffers!" He yelled, annoyed at the electricity that was jolting him. Cyborg threw it off of him and into the trash. He then grabbed a rope used for showing customers where the line was. He used it to tie Gizmo up.

Mammoth had been knocked unconscious, and Raven was floating him over to Gizmo. "Well, the cops are going to be here in just a few minutes. I think we can leave now," said Robin. "Yeah, we need to hurry and get BB here to the Infirmary," said Cyborg, concern in his eyes for Beast Boy. Everyone was concerned for him, since his eyes looked like he was enduring massive amounts of pain, even with the bandage on his leg.

"I'll fly him," Raven offered. "I can heal him using my powers, faster than you guys can," explained Raven, as if she needed an explanation for helping him. "Good idea, Raven," said Robin. Raven teleported Beast Boy and herself to the Tower, ready to help him feel better.

"Come on, guys. We'd better start leaving back for the Tower…" said Robin as the police came up. We nodded and started home. "Actually, Jinx… since we're out here in the city anyways, how about you and I stop for something to eat together?" he whispered in my ear. I nodded, and Cyborg said to Robin and Starfire, "Ya'll go ahead to the Tower, Jinx and me will catch up in a little bit!" Robin nodded and Starfire gently picked him up and flew towards the Tower.

"So, where did you have in mind?" I asked innocently. "I know of this café Raven brought me to a couple months ago… Not really my place to be with Raven especially, but it is kinda romantic. I thought we could have some fun there," he said with a smirk. "Sounds good… Lemme guess, you won't tell me anything specific about the place, right?" I asked. He nodded and said, "You know I never do."

I laughed and playfully said, "Yeah, you never do. You like the element of surprise way too much to tell me." He chuckled and said, "Here we are." He pointed to a medium sized building that said 'Blue Moon' in large, blue letters. Right beside it was a picture of a crescent moon that was in a pretty light blue color. "It looks okay so far," I said with a small nod. He smirked and led me inside.

The outside looked okay, but the inside was great. Everything was done in moons and stars, including the furniture. There was even a huge blue moon model hanging down from the ceiling in the middle of the room. The ceiling even had stars painted on it, along with the walls. There was a stage in which people would go up and either sing or recite poetry. They would dedicate songs to friends or loved ones along with poems.

A singer with a high-pitched voice took center stage, and I asked Cyborg if he would excuse me to go to the bathroom. "Yeah… It's that way," he said, pointing to a door on one side of the stage (the other side apparently had the men's room). I walked over and opened the door, to see just a normal white tiled bathroom. I washed my hands (they always felt dirty after a fight for some reason). As I was washing my hands, a piece of paper fell out of my pocket.

I sighed and picked up the paper, wondering what it could be. I opened it and read it over once. I couldn't believe it… my perfect world had come crashing down because of two sentences and a signature.

"If you don't leave the Titans now, I swear I'll tell them your secret. You have a month to decide between me telling them your secret or leaving them."

BB

I dropped the letter. He wouldn't go that low, would he? I mean, the secrets he knew about me… the things I have kept hidden from the Titans. Things wouldn't be the same. My makeshift family, the family I've never had would disappear; my boyfriend, the one guy that could understand and truly love me would want to dump me; and my friends would trust me on the same level that they used too.

I ripped the paper up into scraps and trashed it. I sighed… Either get my secrets told or leave the Titans. Either way, they would probably hate me. I just have to hope that they care for me enough to not let my past get in the way of our future. My thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock on the door. "Jinx, you okay? You've been in there for about ten minutes…" he asked. I opened the door and smirked. "I'm fine… just thinking." "Bout what?" he asked, curious. "Same old, same old…" I said teasingly to him. He smiled and we both sat down together at the table.

"So, what do ya want to eat?" he asked, shifting the conversation. "How about a turkey, ham, salami, and cheese sub sandwich with some sweet tea?" I asked, looking over the menu quickly. "Sounds good," he said. He walked up to the counter, and the girl at the counter nodded at the order. He sat back down, and said, "Jinx… there's something I've wanted to ask you. I don't want you to answer right away, because it is a gigantic decision."

"How big of one?" I asked, curious. "Life altering," he said simply. I nodded, and he continued. "Listen… Jinx, you are the only one I have ever loved. You see, it felt like before no one could ever care for me, because of the technology built into me. But you care about me more than I've ever thought possible. I've been thinking about this for a long time… but, when we are out of the Titans, would you marry me?" he asked. I gasped… this was the last thing I expected. I looked at his pleading eyes from across the table, and I was about to say something when…

"Here's your food!" cried a waitress, setting the tray down on the table. I sighed, the moment pretty much lost. "I'll think about it," I said simply. We both reached for our subs and drinks, and ate dinner in a comfortable silence. After we finished, Cyborg paid and tipped the waitress. We walked out and stood, looking towards the Tower.

"How are we going to get back? I mean, the Tower is on an island." I asked, curious. "Do you trust me?" he asked. I nodded, and he picked me up. "I added something… they are these rocket things on my feet," he explained. I heard the whooshing of fire whizzing out towards the ground. I felt a small lift, and then Cyborg seemed to float into the air.

We flew back to the Tower slowly, so slow that it was more like floating. I felt a light breeze going through my hair, and heard it whistling. I smiled, looking at the sun setting. The position the sun was at made it look as if the Tower was the horizon in which the sun was setting. It was so beautiful that I couldn't believe it. Cyborg smiled and said, "It gets really pretty out here at this time of day, huh?" I nodded and said, "Yeah… it does."

We arrived at the Tower a few minutes later. "Dude, check it out! New game!" he yelled happily, stretching out the word game. He looked at me, as if he was asking permission to leave and play the game. "Have fun," I said. I kissed him on the cheek and whispered "I love you" quickly. "I love you, too," he said. He kissed me softly on the lips. I really wanted to deepen the kiss, but well… "Ah! Please stop!" screamed Beast Boy before it got more serious. I laughed a little and Cyborg said, "I'll see you later." I nodded, and walked off to my room.

I lay down on the bed, thinking about Cyborg's offer. I can't believe he asked me to marry him…I love him enough to, though. I was about to fall into a happy and blissful sleep when a thought suddenly occurred to me. "The note!" I yelled, sitting up immediately. "Great… I forgot about the note." I stood up and sighed. I began pacing the room, trying to think about what to do. "Just when everything is working out for me, he has to come back…" I mused to myself.

Well, there's chapter 2 of JD! (If you can't figure out what JD stands for, I suggest you stare at the title of the story and think REALLY hard about it) Thanks to my reviewer, KaliAnn! The only reason I'm even posting this chapter now is that maybe it will go up in the lists, and someone will check it out. Or some of the people who read it can review now (yes, I know you looked at the story… hit counters, gotta love them). R&R! (as in, read and review!)
