Chapter 21
"Um, we are in serious trouble."
"What was your first clue?"
Nightwing cut them off Cyborg and Beast Boys argument, "Titans Go!"
A lot of things happened at once.
Terra launched a boulder at Mammoth.
He caught it, and grinned menacingly at her, until he noticed she was grinning back.
With a shout she lifted genetically engineer colossus into the air.
Raven lifted the super fast kid into the air and hurled a car at Jinx.
"Let go!"
Jinx dodged and sent a blast of pink energy her way.
Both enchantresses realized they could not beat each other with their powers quickly.
Raven tried a roundhouse and a few punches.
"You fight like a boy."
"Good."
Raven feinted and Jinx fell for it.
"Two for flinching."
The pink haired girl was on the ground under a flurry of kicks.
Cyborg was dealing with Gizmo and the girl who looked like a bee.
"Bumble Bee, go low."
The girl suddenly shrunk in size and became harder to target, while Gizmo's backpack grew legs.
Bumble Bee flew under Cyborg, re-growing on the other side zapping him with her stingers. But slipping out of the way of a shot from Gizmo.
"Nice trick."
"Thanks Sparky, here comes another one."
Bumblebee charged again, this time he waited.
The little kid with the tech was sneaking up on him.
At the last second Cyborg jumped.
She fired too slowly to catch him, but Gizmo was in the way.
"BOO-YAH!"

Far away, underground Brother Blood watched the battle with Slade.
"Your students aren't doing well."
"Patience, they have everything in hand."
"Do they?"
"If you do not feel comfortable with the situation you can always go and take charge."
"What is that makes you so confident that your students will do better than the fire demons?"
"Because they are just the distraction, while I learn more about their weaknesses."
Brother Blood's eyes began to glow, and on a computer screen in front of him Blood now had access to the Titan's computers.
"Impressive."

The doors to Titan's Tower opened.
Raven was helping a limping Beast Boy.
Cyborg was carrying Terra.
Nightwing watched their backs.
Raven set Beast Boy down on a chair in the foyer.
He was rubbing his leg trying to get the ache out.
"Here."
Raven's hand turned blue and placed it on his leg.
The strained look on his face went away.
"Thanks."
Raven went over to Terra to tend to her while Cyborg joined Nightwing.
"It was too easy."
"What!"
"Who ever sent those HIVE students, it was just a distraction."
"To do what?"
"I am sure we will find out, all the same I think we should be ready."
Cyborg nodded.
