Here comes the chapter eight. I hope that you would enjoy.

Rainbow and Cyborg arrived at the tower, hand in hand. Before they entered the tower, they released their holding hand so they won't be embarrassed when the other Titans saw them.

"I am going to wax my wife, meet you later." Cyborg said as he made his way to the garage.

"You never told me you have a wife. You really mean that you are married, to whom?" Rainbow said unbelievably and stared at him sightlessly.

"Wait, you wax a human?"

"Oh, I mean my car. A person more important to me will take the place later." He said with a smile before he continued his path.

"I hope that I can wait till that day." She whispered to herself as she entered the tower.

The common room was full of with unknown smell. Do you still remember the Rouphma pudding Starfire cooking? It was clear that Robin and Raven had not come back to the room yet.

"Good afternoon Star." Rainbow greeted as she found the unknown object on the kitchen table.

"Good afternoon friend, would you like to have some of this?" Starfire was trying to find someone who would be appreciated her food.

"That is a great feast. What's the reason?"

"The Titans East is coming tonight."

"That will be fun."

Starfire had forgotten about letting Rainbow eat her food. Robin would have to learn this.

"Friend, may I know some thing more about your homeland?" Starfire asked as she put down her spoon. Rainbow was safe, for now.

"About what?"

"I…I want to know some festivals about…about…"

"Do you mean some festivals about boys and girls, romantic one?"

"How did you know what I wanted to say?" She was happy as she found one more friend who knew exactly what she thinks.

"Let me guess, is it Robin?" She asked naughtily as Starfire blushed violently.

"You make me feel the feeling of 'shy', I guess."

The two girls giggled as they settled down on the couch.

"There is especially popular, the Yun Shao Festival, which we call元宵節."

"Tell me more please."

"In the past, this festival was like a party. There were lanterns, fireworks, cheers and noises. Because of this, people, especially young boys and girls, they met and developed romantic relationship."

"So, it is just like the Valentines' day, right?"

"Exactly."

"When is that… festival?"

"It is on the fifteen of the first month of lunar calendar. It is about the early February next year."

"I am looking forward to that day. I hope that we can celebrate that day together next year."

"Sounds like fun."

"I am leaving. I want to wander around the tower for a while."

"See you later friend Rain. If you see friend Robin or Raven on your way, please tell them that the Titans East is coming today." Starfire said as she made her way to her pudding.

Rainbow actually ran away. Starfire had nearly remembered her food.

"Oh yes friend, would you have some of the Rouphma pudding?" She yelled along the corridor but Rainbow had already gone.

Rainbow had never thought that the tower was that big. She found the elevator finally and made her way to the roof. Raven was mediating near the edge.

"Hello." Rainbow gave her a kind smile but Raven had not turned around.

"Hi." She answered shortly as she had her mediation again.

There were silence and silence.

"What?" Raven opened one eye.

"I just come to tell you that the Titans East is coming later today."

"Thanks."

Rainbow tried to break the hateful silence.

"So, do you always mediate?"

"Yep."

"Why?"

"To control my power."

"I am leaving to continue my trip of the Titans Tower. Would you like to come with me?"

"Nope."

"So, see you later."

She nodded as Rainbow leaved the roof.

"She had only used nine words." She talked to herself while counting her fingers.

Rainbow walked back to her room to do her own stuff. The rooms were on the same floor.

"This is Star's room. The one next to it is Robin's." She walked along the first two rooms. They were very normal.

"I guess this is Raven's" The room didn't reflect any light and gave her a shiver.

"Beastboy's room had a bad smell, Vic was right." She left that area immediately.

"That is Vic's and mine." She pointed at the familiar rooms.

At this moment, she found that there was one more room at the end of the corridor. The room seemed to be forgotten for a long time, it was covered with layers and layers of dusts. It was the only room with two slides of door. Rainbow knocked on the door, there were not any responds.

"There is only one way to find out." She opened the door, it was not locked.

The room was separated into two sections, a living room like part and a bed at the other end of the room. The room was decorated like outside.

"Whose room is this?" She asked but she had not expected for any responds.

"Another Titan's." It was Robin.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"I...I walked pass here."

"The room had been left out for months."

"Then why don't you clean it up?"

"We don't want to. Maybe she would be back."

"Excuse me, who is 'she'?"

"Another Titan, the sixth Titan."

"So, I am the seventh right?"

"Good mathematics."

They stayed silence and released a giggle.

"You better go out before anyone else come in."

"Right."

"Oh, I remembered. Starfire told me to tell you that the Titans East is coming later."

"Thanks." Robin started to leave to the common hall.

"Where're you going?"

"The common room."

"You better don't."

"Why?"

"Starfire's cooking is ready."

Robin bowed deeply to her.

"Thank you for rescuing me." He showed her his trademark smile.

"You're welcome."

They broke into a much louder laughter.

Rainbow returned to her room. Her footsteps were steady at first, and then it turned to be not. She went straightly to the phone.

"Rain, is that you?" The voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes. I can feel that it is happening?"

"That thing?"

"Right. I think that I can not hide this from the Titans any longer."

"I am coming to the tower to help you as soon as possible."

"How long does it take?"

"I don't know how fast my 'car' can drive me. I am in Steel city."

"Just be quick."

She hung on the phone and lied limply on her chair.

There was already someone in the room.

"A Hive, there is a Hive in the Titans Tower." Beastboy said while he entered the room.

"Why are you in my room?" Rainbow asked nervously.

"Why are you in the Titans Tower?" He asked angrily.

"Lock the door, please." She turned to her desk.

"Now, explain everything to me." Beastboy said.

"What?"

"How did you become a Hive? Why did you cheat us in order to sneak into the Tower? Why are you just like Terra?"

"First, I don't know who Terra is. Secondly, why are you so sure that I am a, whatever, or had cheated?"

"I saw you and Cyborg at the mall. I had every word."

He continued, "'Do you trust me? Even if you knew something bad about me, would you still be my friend?' You had said it, Terra had, too. What was the result? She betrayed us and returned to Slade. She left deep pain to me and you WILL hurt Cyborg after you had got everything you want."

"Please stop."

"Why would you tell me to stop if you had not done anything wrong?"

"Stop."

"You are one of the Hives. You could not deny it because this is who you are.

"Stop!"

"No, you are different from Terra. You will not turn to the good, ever."

"STOP!!"

Rainbow fell to the ground, sobbing. She had always known that one day it would be discovered, no matter how much she didn't want to.

"Just tell me, are you a Hive?"

Rainbow stood up unsteadily. She looked out the window.

She nodded.

Beastboy walked to her side. He raised his hand, snapped at her face.

"I knew it. From the day we met you, your plan had started."

"Indeed, you are a liar. Do you still remember what had you say at your 'show'?"

"'One day, it become a thick wall made up of betrayal, jealousy, evilness and most importantly, lies.' You had been lying and that was your biggest lie."

"Tell me your plan."

"I am a Hive but that doesn't mean that I must be evil."

"Then why did you choose to become a Hive?"

"I had no choices."

"No, you always have a choice. Terra told me that when she betrayed us. It had turned to you to say those evil words now."

"You knew nothing."

"Oh yes I do. And I guess that this would explain a lot of secrets and discover your real self."

"What?" Rainbow looked down at Beastboy. He was holding an envelope, which she had never seen before.

Beastboy turned over the envelope, it was not stick yet. A letter fell out from the envelope. The neatly written was clear.

Headmaster,

I had got what you command me to get. The Titans training section had offered me information of their weaknesses. I had collected all the data needed. Our plan shall be succeed very soon.

Luna

He did not say anything or show Rainbow the unseen letter.

"I guess Rainbow is not the betrayal." He said in a tone more like to himself than to her but Rainbow heard every word that very clearly.

"I have said I am not evil."

"Or should I call, Luna?"

"What?"

"Isn't that your name?"

Before she could say anything, a loud engine sound appeared. A blue sub landed on the roof.

"Perfect timing."

Beastboy had run to the door, taking the envelope

"I am going to tell Robin, you would be kicked out of the team and being thrown into jail."

She tried to run to him, to explain, but she couldn't. She was actually walking slowly. Her limp body could not bear her weight.

As soon as the two of the left the room, Angel opened her communicator outside the Tower.

"Sir, it is much easier than I thought."

As Beastboy ran along the corridor, the Titans East entered the Titans Tower. When he arrived, there was only Raven in the room.

"Where are the others?" Beastboy rushed in the room.

"Greeting the Titans East on the roof." Raven said in her monotone voice.

"Where is Robin?"

"Didn't I tell you? On the roof."

"How could he be there in this urgent moment?"

"Chatting with Speedy about their weapons."

He started his way to the roof.

"Hey, just wait. He would be back in a minute."

As Raven said, the Titans East, together with the other three Titans, came into the room before Beastboy could leave it.

"Where are you going dude? We had just arrived." Aqualad said while gripping is collar as he tried to walk past.

"Aqualad." He shouted.

"Yeah, I am." Beastboy's respond had scared him.

"Give me the letter."

"What letter?"

"The Hive one of course."

As he turned his bag upside down, Cyborg found out Rainbow's absence.

"Where is Rain?"

"Not in the Tower."

The Titans were shocked.

"What? She was still here before Robin came up here."

"She had never been at the Tower."

"Beastboy, are you alright?" Raven walked towards him and asked.

"I am alright of course. Rainbow had never been in the Tower."

He continued, "Luna did."

"Who is Luna?" Robin blocked Cyborg and cut in.

"The 'Rainbow' that we had used to know."

"She IS Rainbow and I am sure that she is." Cyborg yelled.

"Do you mean you want it to be?"

"What?"

The two pairs of eyes met furiously and they prepared to fight.

"Do you mean this?" Aqualad hold up the letter that he and Bumblebee spent more than five minutes to find out.

"It is of course" He took the letter and without a second thought, he opened it.

He compared the two letters. After a minute or two, he let out a smile.

"The same kind of hand writing, the same kind of paper, written by the same person."

He continued, "That was too obvious. Luna is a Hive. She is a spy."

The Titans stayed silence. This shocked them. There was a spy in the tower. The spy had cheated them for so long, just like Terra.

"I will take Ra… her here." Raven sunk into her portal.

"You really mean that Rainbow is a Hive. Do you have any clues?" Robin did not want to misjudge anyone.

"I am too sure that I am going to remember it till the end of my life."

At this moment, Raven opened her portal again but this time, there were two persons coming out.

"YOU EVIL…" Beastboy found himself nearly out of control. He did not want to got loose and become the beast.

"Are you a Hive?" Robin asked sharply.

Rainbow, or Luna, looked at the Cyborg. She did not want to hide and lie anymore.

"Yes. I am a Hive." She said.

Before Beastboy could go any steps forward, Cyborg blocked his way.

"You had always been lying?" He was uncertain that is he on her side.

"I don't know."

"You stayed with us only because you want the Titans' secrets?"

"No. I had never wanted to."

"So give me a reason of why are you in the Tower."

"I cannot tell now. But believe me, I will tell you later."

"Why?"

"Don't force me please." She turned away, not looking into his eyes.

"We will stop this now. The Hives, they are attacking the city." Raven said, looking up from the computer.
