Author's Notes: I would've had this up earlier, but was being evil with the uploadings, and so that is why it is late and I present you with this chapter. It's not as long as I thought it'd be, but I hope it works. I might not be able to update tomorrow since it's going to be the 4th of July (Happy Independence Day in advance!), and my friend will be over here.

Disclaimer: "Teen Titans" and "Impulse" are not mine, but I can use them in my story, right? Right.

Michael yawned in his swivel-chair at the security desk at the front of the Jump City Scientific Research Facilities. He checked the several screens at his desk that monitored several sectors of the building. "Just another ordinary night shift," he thought to himself. He glanced over at his partner, Alan, whose desk was across the room.

"Hey, anything happening on your monitors?" he asked.

"Nope," Alan responded, clearly as tired as Michael was.

"Al, I gotta go to the little boy's room, so uh, can you watch my station for me?"

"No problem," Alan said. "It's not like anything interesting hap—." His statement was cut short by an explosion occurring outside the building. "Mike, I think you're going to have to hold it in. Just back me up. I'll go outside and take a look."

"Okay…" Michael said, wishing he had gone earlier.

Both security guards were outside the building, heading in the direction of the fading smoke of the explosion. Once they got there, they glanced down at the time bomb. "Who planted this here?" Alan asked to his partner.

"I have no idea," Michael responded. He picked up the remnants of the bomb. "We can't leave this laying around here…and we're definitely not certified to handle it. Maybe we'll give it to the daytime guards?"

Alan laughed. "Sure," he replied. He looked up and saw that the telephone wires leaving the building were cut rather sharply. He couldn't tell what object could've done it. "Hey, what happened to those wires?" he asked Michael.

"I…don't know," he responded. "We'll leave a note to the daytime guards to handle it. Calls won't disrupt our shift anyway." The guards were about to enter the building when they were stopped by Billy Numerous.

"Howdy!" he said, waving his hand. The guards looked confused.

"Who are you, kid?" Michael asked. "And what are you doing out so late at night in that ridiculous outfit?"

"I'm Billy Numerous!" he shouted, pointing at the division symbol on his chest. The guards' expressions weren't changing. "From the Hive Five," he added. Still seeing no change on the facial expressions of the guards, he said, "I'm a bad guy. See? I can do this!" He divided in two and kicked each guard in the stomach.

"Kid, don't make us hurt you," Alan said.

The two Billys blew raspberries at the guards and ran off in a direction opposite from the research center. The guards looked at each other, nodded, and ran after the Billys, completely abandoning their posts (although to smack Billy Numerous around, it seemed a small sacrifice to them).


"Excellent," Jinx thought to herself. She turned to Gizmo. "Okay, you, on the roof now," she ordered. Gizmo pushed a button on his backpack, and four metallic spider-like legs shot out of it. He charged the legs with a surge of electric energy coming from the generator in his backpack. When he thought the legs were charged enough, they bent down and straightened quickly, shooting the genius into the air at an alarming speed. He landed on the roof, brought the metal legs back into his backpack, and fell over from the impact of the landing. He got up within a minute and walked over to the satellite.

"Lousy waste of time," he muttered to himself as he took out his tools to break apart the satellite.

"Kyd Wykkyd and See-More, you remember the plan?" Jinx asked.

"Yup," See-More replied, giving Jinx an unnecessary salute.

"You guys need to come out once all the security's off to let me and Mammoth know when to enter the building," she said. Kyd Wykkyd nodded. He and See-More disappeared in a pool of darkness that flew to the building.


"Okay, Kyd Wykkyd," See-More said. "We just need to find a security room."

"What about the security guards at the front of the building?" Kyd Wykkyd suggested.

"Oh, great idea," See-More said. The two flew down to the front of the building, where the two found the monitors stationed at Michael and Alan's desks. See-More quickly found the wires at both desks and cut them apart. "Hmm," See-More thought to himself. "There's no room bigger than this? I can't help but think that maybe Jinx mentioned something about it." Kyd Wykkyd shrugged. "Can you take me once around the whole building for a quick scan?"

His question was met with a nod and within seconds, See-More was observing the whole building. Sure enough, there was a bigger security room that was being manned by one guard. Kyd Wykkyd transported the guard out of the room and brought him a few streets away from the building, where Billy Numerous was driving the other two guards crazy.

See-More, in the meantime, found a control panel that was responsible for all the security cameras in the building, and was proceeding to cut the wires just as Gizmo had instructed him earlier in the day. Once Kyd Wykkyd returned, the deed was done, and the two were ready to go outside and inform Jinx and Mammoth that going into the building was completely safe.


Jinx and Mammoth entered the building, and the female witch was very happy with what she saw. The building looked as though nothing had happened to it, with the exception of the security monitors shut off completely. "We'll take the stairs," she said to her gigantic teammate. He grunted in response, still not having any desire at all to carry out this robbery. Jinx opened the doorway to the staircase and walked up three flights with Mammoth.

Once she reached the floor, she walked down the hallway, in no rush at all to get the room. After all, she had the biggest job of all, and rushing would most certainly not be a smart thing to do. On the way, she heard two guards talking and walking down a hallway. They turned a corner and saw Jinx and Mammoth.

"Hey, you don't have permission to be here!" one of them shouted.

"I don't need permission," Jinx said coolly, firing a hex at the guards and sending them flying back a few feet. Mammoth rushed up to the fallen guards and hit their heads against the other, which would knock them out for the next half hour or so. Smiling to herself, Jinx proceeded to Section 12.

Once the two villains were in front of the door, Mammoth grabbed the handle and pulled as hard as he could. Unfortunately, the door handle ripped off of the door, which stayed in place.

"Oh well, no plan is perfect," Jinx thought to herself. She shot a hex at the door, which sliced into halves and proceeded to fall into the room. "No! No!" she thought. They'd fall onto the motion sensors for sure. "Mammoth! Grab them!" she shouted.

The giant leaned forward and hugged the two pieces of the door, but also proceeded to fall. "Crap, crap," Jinx thought frantically. She sent a hex to the ground and Mammoth sunk a little into the newly-made hole. She grabbed onto Mammoth's legs and tried frantically to hold on so that he wouldn't fall over completely and trigger the alarm.

Luck was not on the Hive Five's side that night. Mammoth fell over with the halves of the door, and landed on the ground, along with Jinx, who got up immediately. An alarm went off and Jinx in a last ditch effort decided to forget about style. She jumped over Mammoth and ran to the center of the room where a box, most likely containing the chemical, was stored. Her hand reached for it, but another grabbed it first.

She looked up at the figure and was ready to kill. "Kid Fla-, I mean, Impulse?" she shouted in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Why, pulling off one of the greatest robberies of the decade, of course," he replied, that annoying smirk making a reappearance. "I would've done it without setting off the alarm, but you know, everyone does things differently."

"Stop this!" Jinx shouted. "I need that to get into the Brotherhood!"

"And I need this to present to the Brotherhood," Impulse responded. "I didn't get in for nothing, you know."

"You accepted the membership?" Jinx practically screamed.

"Well…" Impulse started, "I have to go. Bye!"

"Oh, no you don't!" Jinx shouted. Before he could speed up to run away, pink waves shot out from the teenage witch's fingers. Impulse fell down, and the box with the chemical fell out of his grasp and onto the ground. She picked up the box and hit the villain over the head with it, leaving him unconscious.

"Well, now doesn't that seem familiar?" she thought to herself, taking the box with her as she walked to the exit of the room. She turned to look at the fallen hero-gone-villain. Even when knocked out, he still managed to look annoyingly adorable. "Should I get him out of the building, too?" she thought. "Or should I let the police capture him and let the Brotherhood know they made a big mistake taking him into their organization? Oh, it seems tempting to do either, but if I brought him to headquarters, it'd just be a repeat of last time, and I am so not cleaning up my torn-up room again." Firm in her decision, she walked out the door and into the hallway.

"Mammoth, you can get up now," she said politely, paying no attention to the alarm still going off. "Let's get back to headquarters and celebrate."

With the idea of food in mind, Mammoth got up immediately and dashed down the stairs, pulling Jinx by the arm with him as he ran, which was a rather uncomfortable feeling for the leader of the Hive Five.


More Author's Notes: Oh wow, they actually did it. Yes, I'm a bit of an optimist, but with all the snafus with their break-ins lately, I decided to cut them some slack, and give Impulse a much-needed whack on the head, hehe. Oh come on, you know I love Kid Flash. This won't be the last from him!
