MAYOR'S OFFICE

JUMP CITY

The mayor's office was a huge, cement building in the center of the city, it had been enlarged by Mayor Hartwell six times since the mayor took over the office twelve years earlier. Hartwell had been a member of the city council and a leader of cutting the funding to the Titans and eventually helped drive them out of the city. After the mayor and his two main rivals on the city council died in a car crash, which he himself orchestrated, Hartwell became the undisputed leader of Jump City. Under his rule the city's population had exploded, the parks and space which had made the city famous were long gone, replaced by tall concrete buildings. Crime was rampant and the police ineffective, never had so many homeless people lived the street. Yet Hartwell never lost an election, simply because his rivals would all die or drop out of the race under questionable circumstances, or elections were rigged as the gangsters and crime lords ordered people to vote for Hartwell or die.

Inside the large building, on the third floor, in the main room, Hartwell had assembled all the heads of the fifteen major crime groups and gangs in Jump City. This was a special meeting and there presence was mandatory. All the criminals showed up because they knew the only reason they had such a sanctuary for there criminal activities was because of the mayor. If the mayor kicked them out by using the police, they would have no where to go with the superheroes cleaning up the other cities. So they all sat there and waited for Hartwell to begin the meeting, typically they had a monthly meeting and occasionally an emergency meeting.

"We have a problem boys," Hartwell began.

"What's the problem?" asked one of the crime leaders. It was how the mayor always started out the emergency meetings, with that phrase and he expected someone to give the same response.

"I am sure you all have seen and heard that the Teen Titans are back with new members," Hartwell explained.

The fifteen other men in the room nodded and one of them said, "They took out five of my best men,"

"I know that Jack, which is why we need to get rid of them," the mayor said, angry that Jack spoke without being asked.

"My boys can deal with it, and if they can't, I have some clients who can help," one of the men said as he lit himself a cigarette.

The mayor laughed, "Bill, your boys are only good at grabbing girls for the other guys clubs and casinos, what makes you think they can handle five superheroes? And I don't want any of your bastard clients involved, they sicken me, I just want them to pay and nothing else," the mayor said.

"Then what should we do?" another boss asked. This also was what typically happened at the emergency meeting, someone would give a suggestion, once the mayor ridiculed it, another boss would ask the mayor what to do, then Hartwell would give his ingenious idea.

However, before the mayor could say anything, another boss, a new guy who wasn't yet familiar with the customs of the emergency meeting said, "I don't see why we need to worry about them, there just kids, and there just four of them, they wont effect business too much."

"That's the same thing they said about Batman when he first showed up in Gotham, they said, just one guy, no need to worry, now look, because of him, more heroes showed up and now Gotham is been cleared of guys like us," the mayor told the man sternly, not hiding his displeasure of the comment. "What I have realized is, the best way to deal with superheroes is to take them down when they first come, that is what we did to the last two guys who tried to destroy my plans for this city. However, this time the situation is different, we don't know there background or family, except for two of them, but those four are also superheroes and in space with the JL. They are also teenagers, they don't have jobs, nor do they need jobs, they watch that city 24 hours a day in that super high tech tower which we can't break into because its technology is ahead of our time. So we need a new formula this time and I have it. You see, gangsters and crime lords versus a superhero team, despite how cruel and dirty we play, we will lose. A supervillain team versus a superhero team, the superhero team always come on top, so I propose we see what happens when crime lords, gangsters, and supervillains come together and fight a superhero team, my calculations tell me we will win," the mayor said with a smile.

"Which supervillain team will help us? I mean aren't they all fighting the enlarged JL?" the same inexperienced crime lord asked.

"The new Hive," Hartwell said as he leaned back in his chair and smiled at the assembled criminals. As if on cue, from the back door, entered Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth.

"There only three of them, there are four new Titans?" the crime lord sitting next to the inexperienced one said.

"Haven't you heard? The Hive has grown in size over the years," Jinx said with a smile. She stepped away from the door way and said, "Allow me to introduce to you the two new members of the hive, Rocket and Ice. A man shaped like a bullet walked in with a woman who looked like an ice statue of a beautiful woman.

"As you can see I have the villains for my formula, now I need each one of you to contribute your top three gunmen and send them to Warehouse C-5 on the docks," Hartwell told the now smiling and excited crime lords.

"What guns should they bring?" one man asked as he began taking notes.

"You see, the National Guard was transporting six trucks, four filled with advanced weapons and body armor, and two filled with ammunition, sadly, the trucks have vanished. This is even more tragic because all the drivers are from Jump City," the mayor said with a smile. All the other crime lords grinned like sly cats; they knew things were going to be good.

However, the inexperienced boss continued, "My men don't know how to use advanced army weaponry,"

"Why is he so into details," Hartwell thought angrily, "Six of the drivers also happen to be weapons instructors at the local base," he explained. "Your all dismissed, send your men immediately, we will also spring the trap when we are ready, and we figure out how this Titans team works, then we kill them and go back to business. You boys are dismissed," the mayor said as the fifteen crime bosses left the meeting.

After they left Hartwell turned to Jinx, "You're in charge, make sure they get trained quickly, and then make sure you kill those Titans, I mean no mercy, kill them," Hartwell said.

Jinx nodded and Hartwell walked out of the room. Jinx turned to her team and said, "Lets get to the warehouse and get those 45 gunmen ready for the trap," her team members smiled and nodded as they left for the warehouse.

THE WAREHOUSE

"Alright, this is the army's newest bullet proof vest, the ultimate protection in this battle. It can take the electric shocks Guardian can shoot, can absorb fist punches, and can take a fire ball directly, however, don't thing your invulnerable, your face is and parts of your arms and legs are still exposed. Now on to this rifle, it is the new M-35 assault rifle; its bullets can penetrate a tank, so those Titans special suites won't help them in this battle. It carries five grenades which explode at what range you want it to, not on contact with something, a very important feature, and it has a very advanced scope which has a tracer line which only the shooter can see from the scope. Now to the pistol, use this in close range, it is so powerful at close range it could possibly break any force field Darkness can make and should be used when trying to kill her, which is our task. Now to the rocket launcher, put the target on the scope, have it lock on, then shoot, the rocket will do the rest, can out run anyone of those Titans and is heat resistant. The goggles we are giving you protect you from flames, smoke, ice, etc. most importantly it turns into night vision right when the room turns dark. As you can see, you will be more that capable to handle these Titans when they come, and with the Hive by your side, victory should be quick and sweet," the instructor summed up the crash course in what guns and weapons they would be using on the Titans.

Jinx turned to Mammoth and told him, "I am loving this already, cant wait to see Raven's and Beast Boy's face when I had them their daughters head, I cant wait to see Star's when I give her son's destroyed uniform to her."

"I can't wait either, its payback time to that time they embarrassed us like that and took eighteen years of our lives," Mammoth said with a very menacing smile. The other Hive members observed in silence as the instructors began teaching them how to shoot and load the pistol.

Jinx stepped away from her teammates and went up the staircase to one of the trainers and asked, "How do we insure they can't escape when we get them here?"

The man gave a sly grin and said, "We have installed metal plates all across the warehouse, when I push the button this building will go into lock down, the windows will be covered by the metal plates, and of course there not any normal metal, it would take the power of a nuclear bomb to bend them."

"So they either will have to kill us all, or die, then they can get out?" Jinx said with her own smile.

"Yeah, so the only way for those Titans to leave this warehouse, will be in a bodybag because there is no way they could survive those guns and your team," the instructor said to Jinx, while nodding in complete agreement with her.

Those are Jump City's criminals, now that the introduction chapters are over, we kick off this new teams adventure with Chapter 4, which will be called Tower of Love and Hate. Little summary of the chapter, two Titans begin to hate one another while two other Titans fall in love, but not to each other. Also secrets begin to unravel as Darkness begins searching the tower for answers and confesses what she did to her mother

Response to Chapter 2 Reviews:

BlackGothFaerie- I don't mind if you gave me a hundred questions, I will answer them all, so don't be shy to ask questions. Now I will answer your questions in the order you asked:

1. In the Fall of Robin series, the second Robin, Tim Drake who replaces the first Robin, Dick Grayson, who goes psychotic and commits suicide in the first book of the series, anyways, Tim's first love is Christine who gets killed by Wilson, Tim's arch enemy in the final two books of the FOR series.

2. To find out what happened to Raven, just read chapter one of Fall of Robin, the first story, and then you can figure out what tragedy happened to her

3. You can understand the difficulty of that night after you find out what happened to her by reading chapter one one of Fall of Robin

4. same as four and three

5. Next chapter you will find out what she did, and it was really bad

6. Durring the Fall of Robin series, Raven feels responsible for a lot of guys getting hurt, Dick Grayson's death, Tim Drake's emotional collapse after Christine's death, which Raven feels somewhat responsible for, she hints a little bit of feeling guilty of the deaths of civilians durring the Trigon crises which isn't covered in the series, Beast Boy gets savagely beaten after having a fight with Raven in the first story, and Cyborg loses Bumblebee and becomes more machine, but that event isn't covered in the series. Black Widow came because BB is into animals and I was listening to a song in which the rapper kept on saying Black Widow

7. That will also be found out in latter chapters, there will be some flashbacks and investigations in the old Tower

However, if you want to be shocked by the answers than don't read chapter one and wait patiently because it will be revealled in the story, but if it is killing you then go ahead and check out the chapter. Glad you like this story and hope you continue to review!

OveractiveMind- Thanks for asking questions so here comes my answers:

1. A lot of people are asking about BB not changing his name, the way I look at it, since he looks ten years younger than he is and he seems like a a guy who loves his youth and loves being called young, wouldn't he like to keep the name which can keep his identity of being a carefree youth? Although that is an ilusion seeing he is married and has children, but we all want our fantasies don't we? I don't know if this made any sense but that's just how I feel

2. Yes, some do and you will find out in latter chapters which ones do and which ones don't

Since you are interested in finding out about the circumstances of Darkness's birth and difficulties Raven went through than DON'T read chapter 1 of Fall of Robin it might kill the shock that the characters will go through when they find out

ttinuhpfanforever- I should have been more specific, it wasn't the pain of birth that Raven felt the most pain in, it was the night of conception, the night Raven and Beast Boy made love to each other which led to her birth, knowing you were one of the first readers who reviewed every chapter of all three stories, I am sure you know why it was painful and why it was the last step in her moving on

StickLad- Read my response to Overactive mind and there I say why I kept the name Beast Boy, glad the chapter explained a few things and glad you are reviewing this story, and he is 36 not 26 so he is pretty old isn't he? Tell me when you publish that story and its name and I will be sure to read it!

AnimationWickedRaven- Glad you understood the chapter and are understanding the story, hopefully you continue to review

Thanks for all the reviews and as I say, I really love reviewsand also,

PLEASE REVIEW!
