Someone was creeping by her. She could feel the anxiety radiating off the person, and could immediately tell they were trying to be sneaky. Eyes narrowed, Bumblebee shrunk her size to that of a bee and followed the footsteps.

When she realized he was heading for the garage, her curiosity spiked. She grew back into her normal size and leaned against the frame of the garage door.

"And just where do you think you're going?"

Speedy froze, ever-so slowly turning his head to face his leader. He chuckled nervously and pulled his arm away from the T-Ship's door. "I was just running an errand! We're all out of…" His eyes glanced around for a moment, searching for something that might help. "…Tuna! Yeah, out of…tuna…" He trailed off uncertainly, then smiling.

In amusement, Bumblebee's eyebrow rose. "Uh-huh. And who informed you we were out of tuna? Aqualad?"

Speedy made an annoyed grunt and leaned against the blue T-Ship.

"Speedy, seriously, where are you going?"

For perhaps the first time, the resident bad-boy titan looked rather sad. He looked to be thinking for a few moments, as if deciding whether or not he wanted to tell her. Settling with a, "It's personal" he opened the latch and climbed in, leaving Bumblebee with a confused and sorrowful expression. Just as the window was falling, she reached out and stopped it with her hand. "Speedy…"

"Just let me do this, okay?"

Reluctantly, she let go. She took a step back, giving Speedy enough room to take off.

Paris, France. A beautiful, extraordinary city, filled with magnificent museums and architecture.

Unbeknownst to the citizens of Paris, they also house the current resting place for over a hundred super villains. The T-Ship touched down by the Eiffel Tower, causing a people to gape with shock. Blushing, Speedy gave a wave and hopped off the blue craft. Trusting his memory was good enough to take him to where he wanted to go, he let his feet guide him.

The entrance was a little hard to find, but from there he knew exactly where he was going.

Oh, how this place brought back memories. He involuntarily shuddered at the memory of being frozen alive and attempted to brush it off. Speedy soon found himself walking the steps that led to where the frozen villains were being held. He took a deep breath, fully aware of what he was about to do.

Playing with the lever a bit, the floor rotated until a single frozen person was in front of him. He closed his eyes, launching his fist down on a big red button. A hissing sound echoed around the gigantic room. When the smoke cleared, the person was unprepared for the fall and stumbled. Speedy caught her in an instant. Despite the fact that he was holding an extremely cunning mercenary, Speedy smiled down at her.

They both relaxed and Speedy gently put her down, making sure she had a firm stance. Mask to mask, eye to eye they stared.

With lighting quick speed, she pulled up her mask. In the split second Speedy had a chance to see her face all he caught were the jade green eyes. She cupped his jaw and pulled him into her. Pressing down her lips on his, he was caught off guard. He squirmed a bit at first, but upon realizing what was happening (and that he wasn't being maimed) relaxed and tried to deepen the kiss.

Laughing inwardly, she pulled away. A soft smile was gracing her usually hard face. She pulled her mask down. Speedy had a hazy look, and she almost laughed aloud when he smiled dreamily.

And then she punched him straight in the gut, sending him to the floor. She placed a leg over his stomach and looked down at him. Still smiling, he murmured, "I love you too."

And then she was gone, darting down the stairs and through the hallway.

Once he thought she was out of audible range, Speedy let out a loud whoop. He cheered and walloped, jumping and punching his fist in the air.

Not even halfway down the hall, Cheshire cracked a grin wide enough to rival the one on her mask.


I can't help it. I love this pairing so much.

Its comic canon, but don't crush my hopes!
