Disclaimer: I do not own the teen titans, but i do own all the members of The Eight.
In a warehouse a young man and a girl wait.
"Remember the old while embracing the new." the young man says.
"You always say that, Owl." the young girl next to him says.
"I say it because it's true. You should know that by now, Eel." Owl replies.
Eel makes a smile, the kind of smiles that girls make when they are near someone they care about.
"Starting without me…no fair." Another boy's voice makes.
"It's about time you got here, Wolf." Eel yelled.
"Now Eel, you're acting like you don't like to spend time alone with Owl." Wolf said as he gave Eel a mean smirk.
Eel turn her head to keep Owl from seeing her blush.
Wolf laugh, "No need to get embarrassed."
"Shut up!" Eel yelled.
She always hated Wolf.
"Stick to business." Owl said.
Wolf turn to Owl.
Wolf was second in command…right behind Owl.
"Whatever you say, boss." Wolf said in a sarcastic way.
"Arguing? What a waste of energy." A big gruff voice said.
Owl, Eel, and Wolf didn't even bother to turn their heads…they knew it was Steer.
"You shouldn't be talking about wasting energy." Wolf said, "You're the one who always meditates at least 20 hours a day."
Steer shook his head, "First of all…its 15 hours a day, second of all don't act like what you do is any better. My strength came from blood sweat and tears. Yours came from a-"
"SHUT UP!" Wolf yelled. He hated when anyone brought that up.
"What's the matter can't take an insult?" a girl's voice came from the shadow.
The four turn. In the shadows was a girl.
"How long have you been there Boa?" Owl asks.
"Since Eel came." Boa said.
"I see your getting better at sneaking around." Steer said.
Boa looked away as she sat down against the wall.
"At least I'm good at something." She replied.
Owl then looked around to see if anyone else was hiding.
"Widow, please come down." Owl said.
"I prefer it if you call me by my full name." Another girl's voice says.
"Find then, Black Widow, please come down." Owl replies.
A girl falls from the ceiling so slow that it almost looks like a spider using its web to hang down.
"Now, where are the other two?" Owl asks.
The rest shake their heads.
Owl grunted, he didn't like it when people showed up late.
Just then a girl came in.
"You're late, Barracuda." Owl said.
"I'm never late." She said, "I'm always right where I should be, to the second."
Owl looks at his watch. She was on time, right to the second.
There was one who was late.
"Were the hell is Fox?" Wolf yelled.
"Don't know…don't care." Black Widow said.
"The whole team needs to be here." Steer said, "We don't want to make a bad first impression."
"We're assassins," Boa said, "We've already made a bad first impression."
"Boa sad? Fox will make happy." A voice came from the door.
Everyone turn to see Fox.
"Get that stupid grin off your face!" Wolf yelled.
Fox titled his head, "Wolf angry at Fox? May Fox ask why?"
"You're late Fox." Owl said.
"So sorry Owl. But Fox is here now." Fox said.
Fox turn to Steer.
"How is meditation Steer?" Fox said, "If it is good then Steer must let Fox join."
Steer smiled, "Sure Fox, you can join me next time."
Eel shook her head. To her Fox was still a child, despite the fact that he was the second oldest.
She then turned the Owl.
"So why are we all here?" she asks.
It was a question that all of them were wondering.
"For a job…what else?" a voice came.
The eight of them look at the entrance.
There was a man in a business suit with a briefcase in his hands.
"Who the hell are you?" Black Widow demanded.
"I'm here representing the one who hired you." The man said.
"What? You're telling me that the one who wants us doesn't have the balls to show up?" Black Widow yelled.
"Calm down." Owl said. He then turns to the man. "She does have a point. I'm a little offended our employer isn't here to look us in the eye."
The man smiled as he open the briefcase.
"If I'm reading this correctly you are The Eight." He said as he pulls out a piece of paper.
Owl nodded.
"Let's see here," the man said as he continued to read it.
"Black Widow, Boa, Eel, Fox, Steer, Barracuda, Wolf, and Owl, those are your names?"
"You've done your homework." Owl said.
"Black Widow…master of whips and poison.
Boa…master of hand to hand combat.
Eel…master of Tasers
Fox…master of tracking
Steer…master of heavy weapons
Barracuda…master of knives
Wolf…master of…um…it doesn't say."
Wolf smile, "Trust me it's better if you don't know."
The man shrugs his shoulders as he continued to read.
"And Owl…master of sniping and fencing."
"Why do I feel like this a job interview?" Barracuda said.
"I just want to make sure that my boss knows who he hired." The man said.
"We are The Eight. That's all you need to know." Owl said.
"Fair enough," The man nodded, "The reason you were pick is because of your spotless reputation. You see we need you to…eliminate some targets."
"Why all eight of us then. One of us would have been more than enough." Eel said.
"Two reasons," The mad said, "One you're not going after one target but twenty. Two, all targets must be eliminated in twenty days from tomorrow."
"Twenty targets twenty days? Sounds fun." Wolf said.
Owl gave the man a suspicions look.
Something about this job didn't seem right to him.
"What's the pay?" Black Widow asks.
"One billion dollars…per target." The man said.
All members of The Eight went wide eye.
They had never been paid that much.
"What's the catch?" Owl said.
"No questions, and MUST be done before deadline."
"Deal." Wolf said.
"Not yet." Owl said.
Owl turns to the rest of The Eight, he could tell by the look in their eyes that he didn't even need to ask. He knew that all of them would say yes.
"Fine then," Owl said, "what are the targets locations?"
"They are all in Jump City."
