OK. Last chapter got good reviews. YAY! It was totally random, but I woke up this morning, and just got struck with an inspiration. Weird right? And I'm home sick, so I can write it down! Well, it's a welcome weird moment! I'll start now!


TTNG: New Team

Chapter 28: The Plan

All eyes were on Sunfire. They never left her. Well, they never left her until the alarm went off.

"This thing sure has a knack for timing." LB said walking into the room. She hadn't gone far before hearing it. They stepped aside, and let her put in the access code. Once it was put in, a file popped up. LB clicked on it, and out popped a photo of a fourteen-year-old girl, and some information about her. The local police had sent them a case file. The girl was pretty. Dark brown hair, brown eyes, olive toned skin, and rectangle glasses, that made her look like a nerd.

"I thought we didn't do missing persons cases." Hex said.

"We do when they work for Slade." Sunny said, being the third to figure it out.

"What?! She's fourteen! She can't be working for Slade!" Hex yelled. He couldn't stand the fact that anther girl Lucky's age had been brought into this. Usually the missing persons cases they worked on were teenage to twenty five-year-old boys. He turned to Lucky to ask her something, and he saw a completely horrified expression written on her small features.

"Oh no. No no no no NO NO!" she yelled, and fell to her knees.

"Luck, do you know her?" Sunny asked, sitting down next to her. Lucky nodded, and buried her face in her hands.

"She gave me the security details to Boeing and Microsoft. Her mom worked at Boeing, her dad worked at Microsoft. They were both layed off. She was angry, and she needed money." she explained. She stared crying again. Percy couldn't stop staring at the screen. Jane Bauer.

"Percy, why does she have the same last name as you?" Ari asked, causing everyone to do a double-take at the screen.

"Janey. She's my cousin." he muttered. Lucky looked up, and even more tears spilled over. Sunny looked around at her team.

"Lucky, is there any reason why she would go missing?" Sunny asked. She whipped her eyes.

"Well, she probably tried to quit. Or she couldn't get the information."


Two days earlier.....

Come on...come on you stupid clock. I've got a deal after school, and I wanna get it over with. I've gotta quit before it's too late. Fourteen-year-old Jane Bauer was waiting for the bell to ring for school to end. She had to ride her bike fast to make it on time. Then the bell finally rang, and Ms. Carlson never got to finish her sentence. Jane raced to her locker, stuffed her things into her backpack, and ran for it to the bike racks.

As she road down the street, she thought about the fact that she'd given stolen information to a criminal. The money was no excuse. She went down the alley, and pulled her bike to a stop.

"Ah, there you are my dear. I was beginning to think you weren't coming." Slade said, moving slightly into the light. Jane looked around.

"Where's Lucky?" she asked. She had been counting on Lucky being there.

"She is no longer working for me. Creative differences." he hissed. Jane almost smiled.

"In other words, she ran away. Good for her. I've got the intel, but this is the last time I'm doing this." Jane took off her backpack, and rifled through. Slade glared behind his mask.

"And why is that child? You've been doing such a good job."

"You know why. I can't do this anymore. I don't know what you're planning, but I know it isn't good." the young girl exclaimed, handing him the flash drive. Slade took it, and pocketed it. He knew he had to give the order now.

"What a shame, young one. What a shame. I had one more job for you, and it paid more than all the others. It wasn't even very hard." Slade made his voice more convincing. He knew her curiosity would get the better of her.

"What is it?" she asked, taking the bait.

"Well, I understand you have a cousin. Percy Bauer, I believe it is. I want you to tell me where he is." Slade delivered the order completely, leaving nothing out. Jane felt a surge of panic run through her body. She had figured out a long time ago the Flame Thrower was her cousin (she made a mental note to tell him to change his name). If she told Slade this information, she'd be endangering the entire city. She couldn't do it.

"I'm sorry Slade, but I can't do that. Not to family." she said firmly. Slade smiled behind the mask, and waved over some of his robots.

"I suppose that proves my theory. It's funny, Jane. Every member of Titans Seattle is the child of someone very important. Arachne's father is Peter Parker, the physicist. Sunfire's father is the adopted son of Bruce Wayne. Crow's grandfather is Trigon. Ladybug's father, is the son of a very famous computer expert. Hex and Lucky's father is the Senator from New York. Now, I find that both of Flame Thrower's parents worked for the FBI, and that include his deceased mother. I doubt the poor child ever knew." Slade listed them off as if it was no surprise.

"You don't scare me." Jane said, as the robots came toward her.

"Oh my child. They won't hurt you. I'm counting on you being alive for your cousin to take the bait. The police are bound to find out you work for me, and all of those missing person's cases go to the Titans. Both he and Lucky will be determined to find you." he explained. Jane was horrified, but not just because of the fact that she was bait, but the fact that she had just put the pieces of the puzzle together.

"You monster. The software from Microsoft. The plane from Boeing. All the supplies you got. All of them have one thing in common. Nuclear bombs. You're going to nuke Seattle." she spat. Slade raised his invisible eyebrow.

"Very good Jane, very good. But Seattle is just an experiment. If it works, I'll do the same thing to the most important city in the world. Washington DC. Now, you're coming with me. We'll be seeing you cousin, very, very soon."


Wow. I finally revealed the plan. Who likes it? I on't figured out the plan a couple of months ago, and I decided it worked I like it, what about you guys?
