Robin woke up. He looked around him. He was in a glass tube. Around him were other glass tubes with a Titan in each one. The others had the members of Titans East and somehow, the X-men (A/N: I don't know what they're doing in there but right now let's focus on the Titans).
'Where am I?' was the general cry. Robin saw, out of the corner of his eye, a strange silhouette. It was tall, thin and seemed to have bionic limbs…
'Brother Blood.' muttered Cyborg.
'Hello, my fellow ex-student.'
'Let me get out of this thing so I can FINISH YOU OFF!'
'Anger is pointless, Cyborg.' droned Raven. 'Being aggressive isn't going to get you anywhere.'
'What do you want with us?' asked Robin.
'Well, my last HIVE blew up and many of my students, well, sacrificed their lives. So I'm recruiting more pupils.' Brother Blood paced around the room.
'You know you can't fool me.' said Cyborg. 'And don't think about ripping me apart. You know it's not my electronic parts that resist you.'
'I know, Cyborg. So I am resorting to another method: Fear.'
'Say what?'
'Fear will weaken your spirit, Cyborg.' said Brother Blood. 'And you, Raven…' He smiled weirdly at her. 'If this doesn't work on you, I shall have to destroy you completely.' He pressed a large red button. 'Launching Operation Fear… Launching Operation Fear…' droned a computerized voice. Helmets plopped down on the Titans' and the X-men's heads and they all shut their eyes and started straining. One by one, they buckled under.
'Mwahahaha, soon you shall all refer to me as Master…'
Raven was the last to give in. She could not take it any longer. She made one last effort to save the company,
'Azarath…… Metrion…… Zinthos……'
