Gizmo Agino- A Past In Shadow

Chapter-5 The Tower- The Blood- The Titans

Okay good newz! I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance, by switching to Geico! Tee-Hee! But not only that- there WILL be frequent updates to ALL of my fics WHOOOOOOOO! Now, on with this one……………

It was now nearing Eleven o'clock, and in Steel City, the Titans East were settling in for the night.

"Well, all this crime fighting's got me beat! I'm goin' to bed, 'night." Aqualad said with a yawn as Speedy got up and followed. "Night." He said as well.

Bumblebee looked around, Mas Y Menos were nearly asleep on the couch, Bee smiled and got them to follow her upstairs to bed.

"Goodnight guys." Bumblebee said, as the two climbed into their bunk-beds, she kissed them goodnight. "Buenas noches, senorita Bumblebee." Mas Y Menos replied tiredly.

As Bumblebee exited the room, and started down the hallway towards her own room, she heard something coming her way, like footsteps. But as she looked back, there was nothing, or no one to be seen.

In fright by now, Bee raced down the hall, but as soon as the door of her room slammed shut, there was a shadowy figure standing before her, in the darkness, with lithe metal hands, and razor sharp metal claws reaching out for her.

"C-c-Cyborg?" Bumblebee stammered, just attempting to calm her horrified mind.

"Not quite, deary." The familiar voice said, as the figure then lashed out upon the helpless girl.

"AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" She cried out, her team then rushed in to help hr, but there was no one there, and nothing but blood was splattered throughout the room.

"What happened!" Aqualad asked in shock as Speedy then used his communicator to reach his tem leader- No answer. "I think we should get the Teen Titans to help us out on this one." Speedy said, as everyone then agreed.

The next morning…………….In the Hive Seven's dorm home, they were all gathered around the TV, watching and listening intently as two men carried Bumblebee's frail, blood stained body over into an ambulance.

"What do you suppose happened to her?" Mimi asked as the team then packed for school and shut the TV off.

"I dunno, but that was just plain weird, a shadowy attacker out there for no reason all." Jinx replied as the group set off for the school.

Meanwhile, the Teen Titans, and the remaining members of Titans East searched the East tower for more clues- but came up empty.

"Who could've done this? And why? " Robin asked, as he helped in cleaning up Bee's destroyed room.

"Maybe, it's like those theories 'n' crap. Maybe, Bee had some sorta secret, and the attacker either didn't want her to tall, or, he's just a sick ass weirdo on a killing spree!" Hayley smiled jokingly.

"Hmm, shoulda gone with A." BB laughed.

Suddenly, Robin's communicator sounded- Trouble. "Well, we have to get back to Jump City, we'll be in touch, call if anything else comes up." Robin stated before leaving and hopping into the T-ship to get back to the city.

Back Hive Academy- The school day was drawing to a close, there was a steady breeze and a winter chill in the air.

But it wasn't the comforting chill of a happy winter's day, it was the cold chill of despair, and pain and suffering. A feeling the young agents of Hive knew well.

And were used to.

"So, who do you think attacked that Bumblebee chick?" Private Hive asked as Mimi, Jinx, and Steffauri glared simultaneously him, they disliked it when he referred to them as 'chicks.'

However, there was silence, everyone had their own thing to do, and no answer for Bumblebee's encounter and near death.

However, Gizmo couldn't help but feel as though this sort of thing had happened before, but in all Hive records, it hadn't. least- Not there.

Just, then, Gizmo, Mammoth, Jinx, and Steffauri heard their names over the intercom.

"Gizmo Agino, Mammoth Edmonds, Jinx Taeip, and Steffauri Naaia, report to Miss Sherry's office immediately."

"What do you suppose she wants?" Mimi asked as the three shrugged and walked off to Sherry's.

Inside, the blonde sat her lavish desk in an expectant manor.

"Children, I know this is going to sound, strange, but, I need you four to go out on this, little mission for me. All I need you to do is to……….

Back in the cafeteria.

"She wants you guys to WHAT?" See-More cried out.

"Hell! A mission like that should be counted as a fricken homicide!" Mimi added, banging down on their kitchen table.

"I know. She wants us to break into the Bruce Wayne Combat Fighting Academy, (Seriously, lacking a good name…..) to steal, this." Jinx said pulling out a picture of a book. (Lacking good names here……)

"A- book? Your risking your lives, for, a book?" Mimi asked, looking them as if they were retarded. "O-Kay, it's official, ya'll seriously need help!" See-More said, walking past the group.

"It's orders. And besides, we can loose our places in the Academy if we don't!" Steffauri stated, as she took the page back.

"We strike, midnight." The princess said in a monotone voice.

That night- 12:01……..

The four Hive Agents had finally made it in to the B.W.C.F.A., and were almost close to breaking in, but security was heavy there.

"I hear that this is where Robin trained." Mammoth stated.

"No shit!" Jinx whispered, rolling her pink, catlike eyes.

From a little ways ahead, Gizmo and Steffauri gave the two a thumbs up, they'd finally disabled the security system.

Steffauri, Mimi, and Jinx, the stealthiest of the group were sent in for the book. Which they expertly captured and brought out.

"Okay, let's roll." Mimi said, when suddenly, a back up alarm blared.

"GO! RUN!" The girl cried out as the seven of the group fled from the area. Just as the Titans showed up, missing the villains completely.

"Um, shouldn't we be like, kicking bad guy ass by now?" BB asked as he looked around. "AGH! They were too fast! DAMN IT!" Robin cried out, as Cyborg looked around.

"Well, doesn't look like they stole any- suddenly, Robin ran over to where the book once sat.

"No! The book! It's gone! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!" Robin cried out even harder now, startling his teammates.

"Whoever gets a hold of that book, can wield every ONE of Bruce's world wide fighting styles, including Tamaran, Azerath, and Pahora." Robin explained, claming down, now.

"C'mon, we've gotta find out where it went!" Robin shouted, as the team took off.

Meanwhile, in the Steel City hospital, Bumblebee was making a swift recovery.

In the fight, she'd suffered deep cuts, and a series of minor bruises.

"Who wasthat? The voice, it sounded so, so familiar. It's almost too fricken uncanny! Oh well, so long as they don't get to my team, or me again, we're cool until he's caught. That is, if he's EVER caught." The young leader thought to herself as she fell into a deep sleep.

As the Hive Seven walked back to their HQ, Mammoth began to flip through the stolen book, in awe by the complex fighting styles mentioned in it.

"Damn! I gotta try some a these!" He exclaimed, marking pages as they entered. (Hmm, shoulda called this chapter 'Damn'! Tee-Hee!)

Suddenly, Gizmo felt a strange sensation fall over him.

As the doors closed behind him, a sudden, frigid cold chill ran down his tiny spine.

He whipped around, but nothing was there.

He ran ahead in the darkness of the silent halls as he felt it once more, and then clung to Jinx's hand.

Jinx looked down the child with slight confusion first, and then smiled, holding his hand as well.

But Gizmo knew that all was not well.

But he did not know, that Bumblebee's attacker, was going to strike there, that very night.
