START!

Jinx was wandering around like crazy in the base. It was only a few hours ago when her father figure started fighting a girl with strength to match Starfire, and then Naruto going in to kick her ass, but she was still worried with what Naruto told her... 'Get back to HQ, I'll be there when I'm done' and it was already two in the morning.
The cold voice, even given the metallic enhancement of the mask, was something to worry about. He has never been so cold before, and that was what worried her. Gizmo thought it good to try and relax her. "Calm down! Knowing Naruto he saved the cop, beat the shit outta the girl and is losing the titans and getting back here."
Jinx stomped on the ground huffing loudly. "I know he is ok, and Marly is fine, but the girl just screams familiar to him... He was cold and it was like the grim reaper was about to take souls. That pink haired girl with the strength of Starfire is just someone I am worried Naruto knows to a great degree..."
Gizmo blinked and remembered Naruto talking one time, carelessly giving a secret. "To think, Sakura would do that to me so many times... I wonder why I ever loved that pink haired slut... using that super strength to try and kill me for trying to make her happy..."
Gizmo sighed and begged that Naruto wouldn't kill him... "Super strength, pink hair? Sounds like Naruto's Ex." Mammoth and Jinx whipped to him and looked shocked.
Gizmo sighed heavily. "I overheard him talking when he wasn't fully thinking, he said something about a pink haired slut named Sakura. Apparently, she cheated on him with two other boys, multiple times, and was beaten to an inch of his life daily from her."
Jinx blinked before thinking... and realizing no wonder he never made a pass towards her. "You mean to tell me this violent slut that looks like my fucking twin is his Ex? GOD NO WONDER THE PASSES I MADE WERE UNSEEN!"
Gizmo nodded and mammoth frowned. "Poor Naruto... Man, when he comes back, I'm giving him a good home cooked meal!" Gizmo smiled sadly and nodded.
He turned to Jinx. "Listen, it may be true he was wary of you because of that, and hesitant to trust his heart after not only her, but two other girls cheating on him with other boys. I am wearing him down to try with SOMEONE, and you are the closest he has as a girl and friend."
"Trying to play matchmaker?" Naruto appeared from the shadows behind Gizmo and gave the little midget a noogie. "Who gave you permission to give that info to others so freely?" Gizmo was in his arms wiggling wildly to get free. He gave the peace sign to the other two. "Yo, Marly saved, two bitch asses kicked, Titans don't have a clue..." he fished his pocket and gave them the money. "And fee collected. Mission a full success." Jinx jumped him and pinned him down, pouting.
Gizmo pushed Mammoth out of the room. As Jinx bent down face to face with the fox mask of Naruto. "Thank you... I'm sorry I got you into so much trouble."
Naruto smiled and got up, Jinx straddling his legs. "It's no problem at all. I do what I can for my friends." Jinx frowned sadly and Naruto put a hand on her head. "What's up? Don't like being my friend Jinx"
She sighed and shook her head. "Never said that just... I found out today why every time I wanted you to look at me you never did. I now know that I was being like that slut, attacking you every chance I got... but, I had my reasons, I swear!"
Naruto sighed, smiling sadly under the mask. "You never tried to kill me though, even if the powers you have got the potential to kill me, you are no psycho, you are just a thief. Gizmo may have been wrong to eavesdrop, but he was right about one thing, he was wearing me down... Listen, what reason could you have to attack me like that... and I will think about taking you out somewhere."
Jinx looked a little nervous to say... her history was less then pleasant after all... but if it meant good things to come, she would at least give a little about herself... Jinx sighed. "When I found out about my powers, and got a hold of them, I was still young, and destruction was my plaything, but soon I realized it hurt others, even those I cared about, so I tried to keep myself under control."
Naruto was getting a good hint suddenly why she attacked, but he didn't know for sure... She continued. "I kept myself under control by keeping my powers from even starting up, and found a build up only caused it to keep frying everything. So, I would let out a little bit and try not to overload, but also keep control. I got better at it over time."
She smiled sadly. "And I found a guy I loved, but because of my powers... he got stuck under a telephone pole and glass cutting out his eye. I figured love was never meant to be... but then, two years later I found a man who I thought was immune to my powers. Even if I let it out around him, he had good fortune and wouldn't be affected, or so I thought... He was ran over by a car and paralyzed..."
Naruto understood why she attacked now, but let her speak, and she finished. "You came into our lives, and nothing, no matter WHAT I did, would affect you... I thought maybe... just maybe you would be it, but that last try I knew it wouldn't be so easy... So I kept up, waiting for the failure to come, but it never did, and I was always scared if I did give in, your fortune would run out... so I never tried, just attacked..."
Naruto pulled her into a hug. "Well stop attacking and try. As I will. For now, let's keep things on the down low, and go from there. As for the affects... I use some of my secret techniques to keep myself from collateral damage stuff, and a little friend inside my stomach keeps my inner damage at a minimal."
Jinx looked confused. "What do you mean? What little friend?" Naruto chuckled and got up, walking to the kitchen. "I'll tell you one day... by the way, Purple SO suits you, nice choice downstairs." And vanished...
Jinx scowled and crossed her legs, huffing. "Pervert..." She smiled through a small blush. "But he's too sweet to be a bad one... I will figure out a way to tease you back you little fox." She got up and went in to have the home cooking Mammoth was making.
XxX Titans Tower, Morning after XxX
Beast Boy rolled on the couch from the back of it and slumped. "First Dr. Light tried to vaporize us, then Mad Mod hooks us into his weird tastes, Control Freak tries to foil the electronic world, and then we have to deal with the new X, who seemed pissed off. Does anyone else think today was hell?"
Robin stretched as he went to the computer on the wall of the room. "I had to deal with this a lot before getting to Jump actually, today was easy compared." Remembering the harsh times back in Gotham, but he did get caught in the past from time to time, wondering what everyone was doing without him...
Starfire hummed in confusion. "True, Friend Beast Boy, The Red X was most irritated, but if you have warred against the Glarbork Khurtyik on Planet Bytopkig, today was just, as you say, a warm up." She remembered the days of warring that planet and shivered. They were most horrible.
Raven was quiet, as usual, but answered out of courtesy. "Unlike them, I never had a work out... I agree, it was taxing at least..." Truth be told, it was. Her body wasn't very muscular, and her stamina in a physical battle was poor.
Cyborg sighed. "I'm indifferent. I'm well suited for it, but even I have my limitations. Anyway, what we gonna do now? Track X? Look for the HIVE? I been wanting a little payback..."
Robin clicked some things on and sighed. "It's not like I don't want to... He is using some intense Ninjutsu techniques... The only one I know who can match is... well anyway, point is, it's no picnic, reports say the Trio HIVE villains went into hiding and disappeared."
Cyborg jumped into his seat on the couch. "Meaning down time, sweet. Come on BB, time for me to whoop your ass in Cyborg Shinobi Chronicles, think your night practices will be any good?" BB grinned and grabbed a controller and started playing.
Robin sighed and turned the machine off. "I'm going out." Starfire flew near him. "May I accompany you Friend Robin?"
Robin turned to her, smiling. "Sorry Star, but I need to have a little time to myself. If I wish to get stronger I need to figure out how. I'm going to a new gym in town, I'll bring back some Taco's" He left and Starfire looked worried.
Raven flew over to her friend. "Starfire?" Starfire turned and smiled. "Yes Friend Raven?" Raven put a hand on her shoulder. "He's just worried about how to deal with X. He was much stronger and faster suddenly, Robin doesn't want us to get hurt, but he doesn't want to stop us from helping... we are a team after all."
Starfire frowned. "I know, but I wish he would let me in and help..." Little known to her about his past, but that didn't stop her feelings.
XxX One hour later, Hertz Drive XxX
Naruto was walking through town and yawning. "Damn, Mammoth sure put it on heavy, that dinner had me in bed sleeping from just the weight of my belly. Oh well, it sure was good."
His inner furball made itself known. "Least it wasn't that atrocious noodle dish, I swear to Kami, if you ate that shit straight without any other sustenance I would have created a way to make it inedible to you so you would get something else... In fact, I may just do that."
Naruto looked flatly. "Do, and I will create your worse nightmare once more. Listen, I promised to eat more then Ramen, and I have kept my end of the bargain, what about yours?" It was a good trade to. Not eat Ramen three meals a day seven days a week like he used to, and Kyuubi would be a partner.
Kyuubi growled. "Hold that tongue Gaki. I've been keeping it, but it's not like I know everything. Not your stupid answer bank... Anyway, I had a little trip into our memories, seems when we disappeared in the hole, they didn't disappear from sight normally. They evaporated, as if being pulled into one as well. If I am right? Not only are the slut and duck ass head here, but everyone we fought in the border. Meaning the other sluts, the blinding homo, the Emo of fate, his cousin and the copy cat." "Well the Green is here, that's for sure..."
He stopped to see a dojo, and in it was a guy with a bowl hair cut and leg warmers training a group of people in fighting. He was about to turn tail and keep a lower profile, but seen Robin walking past... he grabbed the kids shoulder. "Hold it. You aren't going to see that dojo are you?"
Robin looked back to see a blond haired guy with a red shirt and black face mask. "What if I am? Is it wrong for someone to go to a dojo to train in your mind?"
Naruto chuckled. "Geez, lighten up. Listen, I ain't saying you can't train, I'm saying it's not going to be a good thing going in THERE to train. Ever been near that guy? Piece of advice, he isn't your type."
Robin gave a confused but stern look. "And how do you know my type exactly? Let me guess, Batman?" he was so going to make a name for himself as an individual AWAY from the dark knight's Shadow...
Naruto shrugged. "Not saying I know perfectly, I mean we all are individuals after all. Never met the bat, never heard more then rumors and legends. Wouldn't know how he affected you personally either, just saying, from the stories going on about you in THIS city, you are pretty good as a fighter, and use some stealth to take out your opponents."
Robin turned fully to meet the masked stranger fully. "And he isn't like that?"
Naruto smiled behind his mask. "He's brash, loud, and has too much energy. He wears everyone out so much it's a wonder he is even still in business." "I don't know how well he is doing, I just know he could be bringing his students down."
Robin looked at the man teaching and Naruto continued. "Not saying I know what type you are for sure, but I do know his... and it's not something I wish on anyone."
Robin hummed before looking at Naruto. "How do you know this guy anyway?" Naruto mentally cursed... having just told how he knows someone like it's casual.
Naruto took a deep breath. "Let's just say he and I used to be friends. But after what he did to my other friend, it's a wonder why I even think that guy is even able to be considered my friend anymore. Look kid, if you need any training, tell me what kind and I would be happy to give you some pointers."
Robin thought about it a moment... seeing this might be a trick he looked sternly. "And where do you teach?" Naruto chuckled. "I don't. But I think it's better to have one student then a thousand... able to go at the students pace, as well as able to think on how that student develops without worrying about others. Sounds fun actually..."
Robin nodded and sighed. "How about Ninjutsu?" Naruto knew two types. His worlds powers, and this worlds stealth skills. His worlds Ninjutsu was not known here, SO, He would give the stealth skills. "They are pretty good, some better then others... Black is the normal color of shadows to blend in and the usual way, but why settle for the usual styles? New colors can bring out blending if used right."
Robin nodded. "Ok. So, where to? So I can see what you got." IN truth, if he found a teacher able to help him... he might be able to follow X in some way, and how close he was to X he would never know.
Naruto grinned. "Practical training needs real world results. See this?" Naruto pulled out a yellow cloth. "Starting an hour from now, I will have found a place to hid this. When that hour is up, you are to use any skills you see fit to find it. The faster you find it, the faster I will accept you to start your own hiding..."
Robin thought about it before nodding. "Then I try to find you?" Naruto nodded. Naruto went off and Robin looked at the clock... and turned seeing the Dojo. He decided, hey, why wait an hour on the street? It would be an hour lesson and be over with, not his type, he quits, if it is, he accepts both teachers.
XxX One Hour Later XxX
Robin saw the clock tick two and zoomed onto the roof of the building and looked around. "Ok... man, he was right, that guy almost killed me with what he expected...Still, it was good training. Time to find that cloth... This will be like trying to find a random criminal who murdered five people and was hiding out for a week before looking for him... man he wasn't hard to find, but this might be."
He had to think... How to find a cloth from a stranger he didn't know within the city limits... and someone who knew him slightly. Things would be slightly interesting. He stood and looked to the lighthouse next to the sea. "Nope... Too easy, a cloth there has been left many times..."
Robin hummed as he looked to the Tower. "With my friend's there? No way." He put his hand on his chin. "Wait... Think like Bruce and the Riddler..." he closed his eyes and thought of a way to track... He grabbed his binoculars and flipped to infrared.
He saw the hot day was getting to the city, but some cold spots... and saw a dot of some sort in one and zipped between the buildings to get to it. He landed in an alley and checked around. "What did he say? Colors can blend?... Hm..."
He found no yellow or trace of a yellow tent, and went off to a higher spot, finding small heat spots in cold areas and for ten minutes looking through three before thinking hard... "Ok... I'm thinking like a detective... not like a Ninja... To hide something, you must constantly be on the move, to constantly keep your opponent off your trail at all costs, and if the information needs away from your hands, find a hiding spot so ridiculous no one would ever check... Yellow... Taxi's!"
He zoomed to the top of a high building and switched his goggles to Color tracking. He found a lot of Yellow cars, but only a few that had any design similarities driving around.. and one that was parked and not moving at all for five minutes.
Robin grappled to the car and saw it was indeed a taxi.. and checked for cloth, finding it hiding behind the license plate. "Got you. Where's that guy though?" "Well done, twenty minutes? I expected an hour..."
Robin turned to see him waving. "So, find anything about yourself?" Robin looked confused and Naruto walked up to him. "When someone tries to find themselves, they have a look about them... I seen it many times... The guy in the Dojo wanted to be acknowledged for his skills with fighting, a friend who is usually with him wanted to find a way to break the cycle of his family tree's curse, another friend who I thought a brother wanted to restore his family's honor even if it meant killing his brother. What are you looking for."
Robin looked down and then smiled. "To help others in any and every way possible, so maybe they won't have to suffer like some people I know did. To be strong enough to take down any lunatic who think they are above others, to defeat them, without killing anyone, and save others."
Naruto smiled and chuckled. "Good answer... Tomorrow, same time, You hide in the city, and I shall look for you. I give you my word I will stay wherever you want me to till the hour is up. And no cheating and using your tower."
Robin put a hand up. "By the Dojo, and I give you mine, I will not hide where you cannot go." Naruto took his hand and they shook before Naruto started walking off. "By the way, try not to think too much of the bat... It is not who others think you are, but who you think you are. I heard the bat and you were great together... I may not know why you split, but I do know this... father figures... they may not be perfect, but it is better to have someone you feel as family, then to throw away that family for any reason that does not concern your heart..."
Robin was about to say something, when Naruto vanished in a poof of smoke. Robin looked around and zoomed back up a building to look, and found nobody... and smiled. "Interesting..." He closed his eyes and sighed. "But you are right... A call home once in awhile wouldn't hurt..."
XxX Back in Gizmo's Tech Heaven. XxX
Jinx was grunting as she was hauling a big bag of things from her room. "Damn it! Mammoth had to leave for issues with his sister, Gizmo went to check things out, Naruto is gone, so how in the world can I make this stuff go!"
As if on Cue to her words, the entire bag disappeared in a big puff of smoke. She blinked a few times before seeing Naruto holding a scroll. "By your Command little miss unlucky." She huffed and crossed her arms. "And you could have done that at anytime... since when did you return?"
Naruto chuckled nervously. "Just now actually. So, what's with the stuff? Leaving us?" Jinx rubbed her temples. "No, we got a new place. Follow me." She turned and lead Naruto out the door and through some alleys.
Naruto hummed as he wondered why it was taking so long. "Where is it? And why do you have a new place?"
Jinx grinned. "It's a surprise. And we got it thanks to Blood. See, we were smart enough to graduate before leaving the HIVE behind. They gave us a hideout near the limits." Naruto nodded and chuckled. "Sorry about the rough leave I gave you guys though."
Jinx stopped and turned, smiling. "It's fine. I guess you would want to leave with a lot of people on your case. Me, Cheshire, Blood. Just try not to destroy THIS base..." And with that she knocked him on the head before walking, swaying her hips lightly in front of him.
Naruto blinked and followed, looking at her swaying hips every now and again, having to look up as she looked back or else get caught. They got to a small dirt dune and Jinx swiped off some to see the door. She opened it and went down the stairs before going into the dark tunnel, with Naruto in tow.
The lights came on and it was very nice. The door closed and they heard a shifting, and a screen popped up. "Hey barf bags! Get your asses down here and help us out! Damn it... Oh and welcome to the hideout. Move forward to the next door to enter the main room."
Jinx sighed and rubbed her eyes. "He's pissed about something... Let's go." They went forward a few dozen steps to the titanium door, which seemed to be locked. Gizmo game back on the comms. "It takes the registered members of this team, so Jinx, just say your name and it'll open, Naruto will need to be registered by yours truly."
Jinx said her name and a beam of light shown over her body before blinking away. "Welcome to the Hive Underground Hideout, Jinx." An autonomic voice of a girl came up to say it and Jinx shrugged before going through the door, which closed quickly.
Naruto stood still and Gizmo came online. "Computer, new registration to this team. Confirm data upload." "Confirmed. State nickname and Personal Password."
Naruto looked to the monitor Gizmo was looking through and seen the TV shut off. He smiled. "KitsuneX, Password, Kyuubi Jinchuuriki." A station dropped around him, two bars of some sort, and started spinning around him with lights encasing him. He stood unwavering as it took his information.
The spinning station stopped and rose up again before the door opened. "Welcome to the Hive Underground Hideout, KitsuneX." Naruto came in to see a sight, and beside Jinx who had slapped her forehead.
And for good reason! Cheshire was currently trying to take a chunk out of Private Hive, and Kid Wykkyd was eating the last of their cookies with Gizmo flying around trying to fix the wiring of the place.
Naruto chuckled. "Home sweet home?" Cheshire stopped choking Private Hive for a moment and looked to Naruto... who sweat dropped and stepped behind Jinx for protection, Jinx looking shocked. "YOU KIDDING ME! FIND A WALL BETWEEN YOU TWO NOT ME!" "Welcome to the Hive Underground Hideout, Mammoth."
Everyone stopped cold as Mammoth looked pissed. "So tell me... WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO BRING MORE PEOPLE ONTO THIS TEAM!"
Private Hive saluted. "Sir, Blood wished a better team dynamic and sent me and Cheshire with Kid to help you in your endeavors. And thought you would need help setting up the lair, Sir. Sorry for no warning upon arrival,Sir, but we were ordered to hurry. And we were washed up by Blood and drop outs at this time so..."
Mammoth grunted and went to the kitchen. "Find a room and make sure you don't piss Gizmo or Jinx off... And Cheshire, no ninja attempts against Naruto... For your safety." Jinx groaned as Cheshire tried to jump off Private Hive to tackle Naruto, only for Gizmo to bump into her and Private Hive fighting Kid for the Cookies.
Naruto chuckled... "Well they sure are lively... Let them have their fun for now, I'll put them to work soon." Jinx nodded and went to her room. "Come here pack boy, you need to help me un-pack." naruto followed the slightly swaying hips again. "Yes Ma'am."

There, finally done. Hope you enjoy, lol.
Nothing to say, so JA NE!
