Sorry about the updates. Or rather, lack-there-of. I went on vacation to Disney World for a few days and then I had to do some schoolwork (If Louisa May Alcott wasn't dead already; I would have KILLED her!)… Now! Back on track!
To SKYE: Yes. It would be rather interesting, wouldn't it? So I decided to add a lite (Oh, dear God. I sound like a diet add…) romance between the two.
To Mirtle Lawson: I KNEW there had to be another Gizmo fan out there! BWAHAHAHAHA! Anywho… You're so right; we do 'ned' more H.I.V.E. I just love making fun of typos. Tee-Hee. And, as you can see; I'm updating.
To Sailor Wend: Wow! You reviewed for each chapter! Nice! I think it would be cute to see them kiss, too. I think it would be so funny to watch because Gizmo's so much shorter than Jinx.
To GizmoFanGirl: 1st: Don't kill me! PLEASE! 2nd: Yes, it's good to find people who like similar things as you. 3rd: Don't kill Jinx. I need her for perhaps one or two more chapters.

"Okay," Raven said with a roll of her eyes and a long-suffering sigh. "Let me get this straight…"
"You got it straight the first three times you asked me!" Gizmo said with a growl.
"I know! I know!" Starfire cried out.
"No, no, no! Let me tell!" Beastboy said with a smirk. "Okay, Gizmo got his ass kicked by Jinx –"
"HEY!"
"Oh, right. He got his ass kicked more than usual. And then he was like flat lining in some all white room."
"That's not a verb you moron…"
"And then Jinx jumped off a building, and acted like the hottest guy on earth and slashed Shorty across his chest."
"In your dreams…"
"The end!"
Gizmo started clapping slowly. "Bravo. Word of advice – Keep your day job."
I think I understood Gizmo's version better… Raven said with a smirk. Beastboy is weirdly cute… I did not just think that.
#!$$#!$$ TWO DAYS LATER #!$$#!$$
Raven shut herself up in her room for the next two days, doing something that only a brave few would care to know. You'd never believe it but Gizmo was one of those brave few. Actually he was the ONLY brave few. He tried to get her to come out of her room for even a split second; he built his goggles with an internal camera, they'd see what was in her room even if he couldn't.
When she finally emerged from her room, the first thing she did was grab Gizmo by the shoulders and kiss him. Gizmo turned a bright shade of crimson, Starfire looked confused, Cyborg fell over, Robin blew a blood vessel, Beastboy looked hurt, and Raven said, "There's a cure." In the five seconds this scene lasted, only one of them seemed to matter. The short sentence Raven spoke seemed to shatter Gizmo's hopelessness. There was a cure. He didn't care what it was; he would be willing to try it. "It's an incantation. The problem is getting Jinx to hold still for the amount of time you need to speak it. Also it needs to be while she's in wolf form…"
"What do you mean the amount of time I need to speak it? I can't do spells and crap like you can."
"I have something that will cure that," Raven said taking his arm and dragging him into her room.
#!$$#!$$ RAVEN'S ROOM #!$$#!$$
"There is an incantation that invokes the chanter with the power of an entity that most people fear." Raven handed Gizmo a thick book and pointed to what looked like a poem. "Read that spell, and you'll be ready to face Jinx. Tonight is the full moon, so you don't have much time to prepare, but this will have to do I suppose…"
Gizmo took a deep breath and read the mystifying words in Raven's book:
"Aradia! my Aradia!
Thou art my daughter unto him who was
Most evil of all spirits, who of old
Once reigned in hell when driven away from heaven,
Who by his sister did thy sire become,
But as thy mother did repent her fault,
And wished to mate thee to a spirit who
Should be benevolent,
And not malevolent!
Aradia, Aradia! I implore
Thee by the love which she did bear for thee!
And by the love which I too feel for thee!
I pray thee grant the grace which I require!
And if this grace be granted, may there be
One of three signs distinctly clear to me:
The hiss of a serpent,
The light of a firefly,
The sound of a frog!
But if you do refuse this favour, then
May you in future know no peace nor joy,
And be obliged to seek me from afar,
Until you come to grant me my desire,
In haste, and then thou may'st return again
Unto thy destiny. Therewith, Amen!"
A woman, shining even in Raven's dimly lit room, appeared before Gizmo. Smiled, and said, "Thy need my power? To help thy love, I see. I shall aid thee; but only for this night, and only after you receive the signs…" A shimmering beam of magical power, the same color of Jinx's jubaku blades, formed around him, bestowing the temporary powers to him.
Beastboy wanted to see what was going on in Raven's chamber, but decided knocking would be a poor idea. There was a small space between the floor and the door. Transforming into a snake, he slithered beneath the crack, letting out a small hiss as he arrived in his friend's room. He turned into a firefly to see better, illuminating a small area of her room. Beastboy felt bad for slipping into Raven's room uninvited so he transformed into a bullfrog and let out a large croaking sound to get the pair's attention.
At the sound of the frog, Gizmo clutched his head, a sharp pain emerging from it. He clamped his eyes shut and fell limply back into Raven's arms. You're ready. And I know you can help Jinx overcome the werewolf. You're so willing and determined. Even if you failed, on your dieing breath you would want us to free Jinx from her torture… I wish someone cared for me as much as you care for her…
#!$$#!$$ AUTHOR'S NOTE #!$$#!$$
That's a real incantation I found. I didn't just make it up on the spot, I swear! I'm really sorry this took me forever to post!
Translation time!

It's sad… I think the next chapter will be the last one… Sniffle!
