I appreciate all reviews and for giving this a shot. Thank YOU for reading I have a GSM universe threeshot coming out at the end of the month.

"Holy shit, you weren't kidding." Seemore said as Gizmo poked the unconscious alien with the stick I had left behind.

"Well we're fucked." Gizmo said as she moved her hand and snapped the offending stick, though she still seemed pretty out of it as her eyes did not move nor her shallow breathing change. We all held our positions for a minute to see if she would stir more, but she didn't.

"I don't get how she's alive after seeing that footage." I said since she should have been in worse shape after being such close range. I'd been vaporized. If she hadn't done what she had done we all would have been vaporized or burnt to death. Even if we survived the first one, the second one would have picked us clean.

"The goody two shoes never seem to go down easy." Gizmo said and circled her almost tripping in the kelp. "Well let's just kill her and get this over with."

"With pleasure." Mammoth said as he had been waiting back the whole time. A twist in my gut made me wonder if that was the best move. I knew for damn sure it wasn't the right one.

" Gizmo get your head out of your ass, if two nukes weren't able to kill her what makes you think we have a chance." I spoke not sure where my mercy was coming from. She had moved to protect herself in her current state, what was stopping her from continuing to do so.

"Well she's not usually this vulnerable without her bird boy hovering." Gizmo defended his action as Mammoth got closer to her body.

"Fuck I bet the dude is shitting bricks right now. Wondering what pieces his girlfriend will come back in. Hell I wonder what he'd pay to get her back." Seemore said and it caught all of our attention even Wykkyd's who had remained watching. Money was like blood to a shark. It was too much of a temptation for us to resist.

"I bet there's still a reward if she's dead." Mammoth said and I knew he had the biggest beef with her since she was typically his assigned target with mixed results.

"If we hold her captive with the amount of publicity that just went out it could be in the astronomical. The city would have to pitch in with the ransom since she just saved them. She's as much of a sweetheart right now as ever." Seemore was as money hungry as anyone you could meet. I could just buy my own house no questions asked with enough money. Hmmm.

"I want more money." Kyd Wykkyd provided since he was also money hungry. Angel had appreciation for nicer things and I knew Wykkyd spoilt the brat.

"Gizmo you have prototype cuffs you made for her right? Why don't we hold onto her and get the best price. Who knows who else might want to have her. Plus if they knew we killed her they'd send in one of the big ones. I don't feel like having a Wonder Woman use that lasso on me anytime soon." I said using reason.

There was a difference between having to deal with Titans and the Justice League. We got lower security prisons and we knew that our injuries were less than those that went against one of the leaguers. Starfire hurt, but we knew she didn't hit us with the same strength cement and cars got. There was no reason to pop our bubble wrap if we upgraded to Titan killer. While the HIVE Five was not always a democracy Gizmo and Mammoth were out voted.

"Fine, Greedy Grudemunchers we can sell her, but if she wakes up and beats your asses I'll say I told you so." Gizmo said and made a motion for Mammoth to grab her since no one else could. She was rather tall and dense.

"Shut up." I said in response and noticed there were lights going across the water as ships were searching. "Let's just get the fuck out of sight with her."

In the end we put Starfire in handcuffs behind her back and her inside a bubble that resistant to her starbolts. She slept through the process which was helpful. She was still bleeding rather steadily as a small puddle was accumulating in her bubble and coating her body in the metallic blue. It provided her some more coverage since her uniform was practically strings and her boots lost. Maybe she would simply die from her injury and our problem would be solved. She would have died from natural causes and we could get a finders fee for her corpse. I wasn't rooting for her to die, but her off the Titans was a boon for us. We were waiting until the Titans panicked a little more before offering her up.

"Her blood is pretty." Mammoth said as he washed off his shoulder that had picked some up while carrying her. "Smells kinda sweet." He held his finger up to lick it when Gizmo climbed the back of the couch to smack the back of his head.

"Disgusting, who knows what germs that alien has." Gizmo scolded.

"Stop watching Twilight, one edgy vampire wannabe is bad enough on this team." Seemore said and Kyd Wykkyd did not react to the jab against him, but I knew he would not forget it. That was one less get out of jail free card. Billy was still in prison since he had insinuated something nasty about Angel and lip injections and Wykkyd was unwilling to break him out.

"I'm shocked she hasn't woken up with how annoying you all are." I muttered annoyed once again by my living arrangement.

"If you need help getting your panties out of a twist, I'm happy to offer my services." Seemore said with a mocking smile and bow. I sent a small hex to his foot so it felt like he stubbed his toe. His admittedly girlish shriek caused her to twitch. Dammit. Though a twitch was all she gave us as a sign she was even alive.

"If she loses more blood she may not wake up at all." Kyd Wykkyd inputted and then walked away to go into his room. He typically only said things that had meaning and I guessed he was probably right. Though he was certainly not going to do anything about it.

"Fuck, he might be right." I said and decided that maybe we should of put a bandage or something to stop the bleeding. Too late now.

"If she dies and its not by my fists I am going to be hella annoyed." Mammoth inputted.

"Dude chill, you're low on cash I thought you'd be stoked." Seemore said trying to be appeasing. Mammoth made a grunting noise and left to his own room as well.

"Well I'll leave her to you two losers. If she wakes up, feel free to fry her brain." Gizmo said and left a little remote that was attached to her cuffs. It was late now and certainly everyone around here needed all the beauty sleep they could get.

"Hmm I guess it just leaved the two of us…Whatever can we do to kill the time." Seemore said and waggled his eyebrows.

"Seemore, why don't you have some quality time with your hand." I said making my rejection clear as I went back to flipping through apartment ads and now housing options. Maybe I could get a place down South like Malibu or Santa Cruz. I could have the ocean and trees. I heard him mutter 'frosty witch' or something to that affect before slinking off to the bathroom. I was tired of him shooting his shot. I had played with him a little before switching sides, but now I didn't have any interest. He was just annoying and didn't measure up. Fuck it was hard lowering your standards again.

Maybe I should have just stayed solo, but I was… it was easier to not be completely alone. Even if I did buy my own house I would still come here and see my boys even with how much they pissed me off. Maybe not as much, but even if they were douchebags that had serious issues, they were all I had in the world. People had less.

I must have dozed against the back of the couch since my eyes felt glued shut when I tried to open them again. I heard some shifting in front of me and I remembered why I had let my but become numb sitting on the floor. I was supposed to be watching Starfire. I threw my consciousness back into my body as I needed to fully wake up.

Green eyes met my own separated by the bubble still. She had escaped from her handcuffs which was somewhat impressive since I had no clue how to break out of them when they were behind your back. She was sitting perched on her knees just staring at me as I was now staring at her. The remote was now useless shit. She spoke something to me, but it was muffled and a language I had no clue. She tilted her head when I just stared in response. She repeated what she said and I noticed she did not have immediate malice or recognition in her features. She seemed dazed and more than a little confused.

I stayed still unsure what to say or do. I did not want to startle her into a rage and I wasn't sure who was even awake. She seemed to understand whatever she was saying was going over my head. Her next way of communicating was using her hands to motion either an egg or pimple. Though I realized she meant the bubble. I shook my head no and she frowned at that. She shot a starbolt at the top of her bubble and it ricocheted back at her. It hit her thigh and her expression turned dark with a glare my direction she said one word and I assumed it was something along the lines of 'out'. I shook my head again and an widening of her eyes was her response. She raised a hand against the bubble. It left a bloody hand print behind when she took it back. Her expression changed and I felt tension filling up the room.

"Boys! Get your asses over here!" I shouted as suddenly her mouth was opening wide revealing sharper than average canines that tore a hole as she forced her teeth through the bubble. The popping noise was ominous as her fingertips took advantage of the small tear afterwards ripping it quickly. The bubble deflated and fell behind her as she crawled forward towards me as I scrambled to take some sort of defensive stand. She was quick, though she stopped when her face was mere inches away from mine as she lowered my hands without hurting me. She was still lightly bleeding as a streak of blue fell down her face trickling from her forehead, nose and down all the way to her chin. Her eyes seemed to be searching for something as she said a word in that gibberish. I heard a rustle from the room, but I was scared stiff. My fight or flight seemed to be out the window as I strangely froze instead. I heard a door open and an utterance of 'Fuck'.

Though I was distracted even more thoroughly when the limited space between our faces vanished as her lips met mine. Her blood must have been sweet since she smelt and tasted like burnt caramel. I hadn't been kissed (despite Seemore's advances) in months so I was a little astonished. Though it was quickly over as she pulled back and started speaking French. That I could understand. I had learned French in my idolization of Madame Rouge phase. It was such a cringy time in my life as she was not what I thought she was. Though I guess the French came in handy as I understood she was asking where she was and who I was. She sank back on her knees giving me space.

"Jinx stop macking on the meal ticket!" Gizmo said being decidedly unhelpful. He had a gun or ray of some sort help up in ready defense. Mammoth had also come out with obvious bed head and thankfully boxers on. I was shifted behind Starfire as she put herself between me and Gizmo. She ordered them to lay down their weapons if they wished to keep their arms attached in French.

"English bitch." Gizmo said and that made a glowing green starbolt appear rapidly and disarm Gizmo. I found a prepped one warming the skin of my throat as she turned back to me.

"Let me try this one last time, where am I? And who the fuck are you?" I was pretty sure her use of fuck caught us more off guard than her questions. I decided I should probably speak since I wanted the starbolt away from what I realized was a very very vulnerable part of my body.

"You're in Jump city and you know who the fuck we are, Starfire." I replied probably having a little more grace. I remembered my hands were now free to use my hexes, but I did not want her accidentally unleashing her starbolt. She turned towards me and tilted her head at my answer. Seemore and Wykkyd came out of their rooms with all the commotion. Her hand pointed at them in another prepped starbolt.

"Your answer is unhelpful. Would someone else like to try? What planet is this? And who the fuck are you to have me trapped here?" Her voice was cold and menacing. It was a lower baritone than what I associated with her free from uptalk, just pure intimidation. Her hand did not leave it's spot on my neck, but her gaze looked out at my boys.

"Hey, hey easy Starfire you don't want to do this. You're on Earth. And we knew you would wake up upset so that's why we locked you up. We're sorry." Seemore was the best buffer when it came to negotiations. He held up his hands like one approaching a growling dog, which she certainly could be compared to. A few more inches of space were given to my throat from her starbolt.

"I've never heard of Earth. Who are you? Are you allies of the Gordians?" She asked her tone still hard. Wykkyd went to teleport behind her probably planning on subduing her with one of his weird chops. Without changing her hand positions her foot pointed menacingly in warning. I was unaware if she could shoot starbolts from other parts of her body besides her hands since she always wore boots. "If you value your lives I would answer before you act. My head hurts and my patience is gone now."

"Jesus Christ, we are the HIVE Five and we have no clue what a Gordi Antonio is. How hard did you hit your head, Starfire?" I answered really wanting her to give me a little more space before I could hex her. I was not happy all her balance was on one foot when a misstep could drastically shorten my height.

"Am I Starfire?" She asked me directly and understanding of her lack of understanding made sense.

"She has no clue who we are. How insulting." Mammoth inputted. He had began cracking his knuckles and fully waking up. He was always the slowest actually awake. She turned towards him as if seeing him as more detailed than before.

"Galfore." I heard her whisper but I was likely the one to hear.

"She doesn't even know who she is." Gizmo said mockingly.

"Guys I know I'm the only one with a starbolt at my throat, but can you shut up." This was not ideal. If she didn't know who she was and felt threatened I would not be the only one going down. "Yes you're Starfire , that is your name right?"

"It's Koriand'r actually, but I guess in your language Starfire is a simple translation. Am I supposed to know your names?" She motioned for Wykkyd to join the other boys on that side of the room and he complied. She let the starbolt fizzle out at my throat. Well that was information, information she would not give out easily or willingly.

"You have known us for 3 years now so hopefully." Seemore said and I saw her entire body rock with shock.

"3 years?" She asked and I saw an opportunity to escape closer to my team and out of her immediate grasp. Seemore immediately pulled me slightly behind him and I did not stop him. This could be an opportunity to get her subdued again while she was confused. She clutched her head in her hands as she processed that information, before reaching the part of the shrapnel that had made it's home in her skull. She yanked upward before screaming something rivalry Black Canary before she fell to the floor unconscious once again.

Gizmo retrieved his weapon that had been slightly mushed by her earlier shot. It had done more damage than normal ones. Kyd Wykkyd leaned down and checked her pulse and ran a finger along her head wound.

"It is unsurprising she has brain damage based upon the depth. It is more surprising she is alive." He noted as he was our resident first aid expert as well. He knew where to hit and how to hurt.

"Are you okay?" Seemore asked lifting up my chin. I ran my own hand down checking for damage and wiping off the sweat that accumulated from the heat. No cuts or burns, but I knew I was lucky. That was not set to stun as Gizmo's gun could attest.

"I'm fine, fuck what are we going to do with her?" I asked the room. It was one thing to have a captive hero to babysit. We had done that with him. It was another thing to try and contain a pissed off alien with amnesia.

"I say we put your new girlfriend in your room, and make sure she doesn't wake up." Gizmo said and snickered before kicking her in the ribs. It was a dumbass move, but I doubted she would be hurt be it.

"Girlfriend?" Seemore asked eyebrows waggling and instantly losing all the appreciation I momentarily had for him.

"They kissed." Mammoth said ratting me out.

"That wasn't a kiss, I don't know what the hell that was. Maybe we should just toss her back and let the Titans handle whatever train wreck she is. She's not the Starfire we normally fight against, she's more dangerous like this." I said not really wanting to deal now that it had gone bad once.

"Hmm." Seemore said and I knew he had put his thinking cap on which was often a bad thing when it came to women related decisions.

"Her lack of memory makes her vulnerable. Moldable." Kyd Wykkyd added and tossed a sheet over her from the neck down. He was a more modest type. Though it was just going to become bloody and gross like everything else around here.

"What's going on in that wicked brain of yours?" I asked as he had some form of a smirk on his face, a bad sign.

"We could keep her, convince her she is on our team. Her flight, strength, and range would be an asset on jobs even not against Titans." He answered and I disliked when he spoke so much. He only did so when it was the right thing to do or best plan. I was not so sold after witnessing her outburst at such a close seat. Though I suppose she had tried to communicate peacefully.

"Exactly Kyd. Plus if she really doesn't have any recollection she's a blank space. If it doesn't work we sell her back to the Titans eventually, but think of having Starfire do anything you ask of her since she has no one else to trust. We could use another housemate with tits, and she has enough for two." Seemore said and I sent him a thick glare for his last comment.

"Seeing Birdy shit bricks would be worth it and hell I do need a test subject. She seems to like Jinx best, just braid each other hair or some other chick shit to convince her you're BFF's. She was always rather gullible as fuck, we are just the ones giving the pointers. If she lives that is." Gizmo said the unspoken risk that this girl while acted tough was still bleeding without much scabbing.

"She was ready to blast my head off, I don't think you can consider that the start of a string friendship. I want a larger part when we eventually sell her, 30. If I have to do the work, I deserve the extra bank." I defended. This was my fault for finding her in the first place. My stupid bigger than it should have been sense of duty and appreciation.

"You did so well with the other Titan maybe you can recycle techniques." The reminder of my betrayal stung. Though I knew Gizmo was hurt the most by my departure since I was his oldest friend. He was the one who let me back in. He hadn't brought it up as much as the rest of them. It wasn't romantic jealousy it was pure betrayal for him.

"Heehee, Girlfriend." Mammoth said so helpful. "If she is too much trouble I'll take care of it. No need to worry, Jinx."

"Fuck you guys." I said though I knew my response was not a no to them. "Alright Seemore I expect your bullshit skills to get us through the first part. If it doesn't work it doesn't work."

"Just work your charm, Jinxy." Seemore said and wiggled his fingers suggestively.

"Can someone patch her up, so she doesn't bleed out everywhere?" I asked since I was no good at treating wounds with my abilities. I turned back to my room and decided I needed to lie down in an actual bed.

"Where are you going?" I heard Seemore call.

"To google how to fucking braid hair." I called and slammed the door to my room annoyed at the situation I ended up in. I felt bad for the Titans, I knew how special Starfire was to their dynamic and how everyone was probably on edge not knowing if she was alive or dead. Though I wasn't a nice enough person to send a message, that's why I was here.
