A/N: to all of my fabulous readers and reviewers, thank you so much! I write only for the purpose of your enjoyment!

Chapter 9

If the star stuck lovers had been drinking something, they would have had a spit take. "B-but how-" they began simultaneously.

Raven rolled her eyes. "I'm an empath, remember? At first glance I knew she looked familiar. Between the two of you I realized that she wasn't someone we would like. It wasn't hard to go from there. Out of all our enemies, you chose Jinx?"

Gizmo rolled his eyes. "You think I would willingly touch you without a reason? I placed a tracer on you when I patted you're back. I followed you the scum tower and saw you getting all lovey-dovey with the walking snot-rocket! Outta all the Titans, you chose him? What am I talking about, you chose a pit-sniffing Titan?"

"Look, what do you want, Raven!" asked Beast Boy angrily. "I won't break up with her, so don't even ask, not even if you try and bring up… her!" Neither needed to ask whom, they both knew; Terra.

Raven sighed. "Look, I just don't want you getting hurt. So when she betrays you and steals our secrets, don't come crawling back to me!" With that she stormed out.

"What do you want Gizmo," asked Jinx with fury seething in her voice. "I won't break up with him if that's what you want. And I won't exploit him either!"

Gizmo was silent for a while, and then an evil grin spread across his face. "I would never ask that of you, my dear Jinx! After all, why waste that much blackmailing material on something like that! No, I won't call it in yet, but I will. I already know what I want and now isn't the time for it. But don't worry, it will be soon. Good night." With that, he slunk across the room and out of sight.

"Looks like we've been made," said Beast Boy.

The two were in the coffee house where they had first met. There were many people around so they could afford to be loud. They had just told the other about their encounters with their teammates.

"Ya, but does that mean we have to give it up?" asked Jinx. In reply, Beast Boy smiled and pressed his lips against hers. "I had hoped not," she said happily.

"Raven I'm not too worried about," said BB. "She'll keep it to herself. It's Gizmo that makes me wonder. I just know he's got something planned! Err, no offence."

"None taken," she replied. "I was thinking the same anyway. Whatever he has planned, it can't be good for us."

Gizmo entered the dark room. He calmly hit the light switch, throwing shadows across the room.

Gathered around a table were the members of the Hive 5, minus Jinx, Atlas, Adonis, Trident, and Mumbo. They each stared at him expectantly. "Well?" asked Atlas. "Why have you called us all here?"

"It's simple," replied the young mechanic. "I have recently come into a… position that you might find beneficial." He definitely had their attention.

"Those crud-muffin Titans have screwed with our plans for the last time! Now they're even trying to make our own into their scum-bags! Well I say we send them a message, both to them and any scum-sucker who wants to join them!"

He pressed a button and a holographic image appeared. "We're going to take this guy. He's the whole problem here!"

The image was of Beast Boy.

End of chapter

A/N: It's short, but I was kind of rushed. It was the first football game of the season and it's kinda late and I won't be able to use my computer for a while so I had to work fast. I post again a.s.a.p. but until then, please don't start a riot! Please review!
