"HELLO!" Kid Flash yelled into the darkness.
But there was nothing, only his echo.
Bumblebee, Kid Flash, and Jinx where standing in the middle of The Brotherhood of Evil's base all by themselves.
"Well this changes everything." Bumblebee said.
The plan had been to sneak into the underground base, hopefully avoid anybody, look into the Brotherhood's data files, and sneak back out; but here they were in the middle of the base in pitch black darkness and they hadn't seen a soul.
"Give me a second." Jinx said.
She went to the wall looking for a switch.
"Need any help?" Kid Flash offered.
"No, I think I got i-OOWWW!" Jinx yelled as she bumped her knee against a desk.
"Are you sure?" Kid Flash said with a slight laugh.
Jinx grunted, "YES I'M SURE!"
She continued to feel around the wall only to hit her knee again. As she yelled a second time the lights went on with Kid Flash at the switch just three feet from her.
"Are you sure you don't need any help?" he asked with a cocky smile.
"I hate you." She sneered.
Kid Flash's smile just got bigger.
"Love you too dear." He said.
Aboveground
Boa and Barracuda waited for Eel on the library steps.
As two sat there calmly in the morning sun Barracuda looked at her watch.
"Thirty seconds." She said.
Boa didn't say anything; she just sat there staring at the sky.
"Twenty seconds" Barracuda said.
Boa shifted a little, looking at the street.
"Ten seconds."
Boa started to stand up and stretch.
"Five seconds."
Boa turned her head and started to talk.
"You ready to go?" Boa asked right as Eel walked up.
Eel was surprised that Boa turned her head at exactly the same moment she walked up.
She was about to ask how but remember that Barracuda was with them.
"Yup," Eel replied.
The three girls walked down the steps and onto the sidewalk.
"So who's the next one?" Boa asked.
Barracuda looked at her list.
"Either a really big idiot in a costume, or one of the toughest fights we'll have." She said.
Boa and Eel gave her a weird look and pulled out their lists.
"You've got to be shitting me." Boa said as she looked at her list.
Eel nodded. If this one wasn't a costume then the three of them were in for one hell of a fight.
Underground
Bumblebee looked up in awe. The underground base was enormous. Computers were on every desk, weapons were lined up against the wall, and they even had vehicles parked to the sides. And yet despite all of this the base was completely empty.
"Where is everyone?" Jinx said with a confused look.
Kid Flash shrugged his shoulders, "Well, maybe they abandon it. We did beat the Brotherhood after all."
Bumblebee wasn't buying it.
"I don't think so." She said. "Look at all this equipment, weapons, and vehicles they left."
Jinx had an uneasy feeling.
"Why do I have the feeling that we just walked into a trap?" she said.
Kid Flash started to pump himself up. "We'll if it is then BRING IT ON!"
"Oh calm down," Bumblebee said, "If this was a trap then they would have spring it on us while we were still in the dark."
Jinx nodded, that did make sense.
"Jinx," Bumblebee said as she started to walk up to one of the desks, "How do I get into the Brotherhood's files?"
"We're going to have to hack in." She replied.
Bumblebee cracked her knuckles, "No problem."
As Bumblebee started to type on the computer the screen suddenly went blank.
"What the hell?"
Network disconnected. The screen read.
Bumblebee rolled her eyes.
"Hey," she turned to Kid Flash, "See if you can find any computer where the network still works."
"No problem." He said.
In a few seconds Kid Flash check every computer in the base.
"No luck," he said, "there're all down."
Bumblebee head dropped, "You're telling me that not one computer in this whole base works."
Jinx thought for a second, "Wait a second, there supposed to be one in The Brain's main office."
Bumblebee's eyes lit up. "Great, where is it."
"It's supposed to be right below this chamber."
"What do you mean 'supposed to be'?"
"Well…I've never been in it." Jinx said with a grin.
"Hey there's a first time for everything." Kid Flash said as he started to walk to the center of the room.
"What are you doing?" Jinx asked.
"I'm going to the room." He said with a smile, "Be back in a second."
Jinx's eyes went wide.
"NO STOP!" she yelled.
But it was too late.
As Kid Flash started to vibrated through the floor an electrical shock hit him sending him flying back.
Jinx quickly ran up to him.
"Oh God!" she said, "Are you ok?"
Kid Flash's hair was sizzled and his feet were burned.
"Did someone get the name of that bus?" he said, right before passing out.
"What the hell was that?" Bumblebee asked.
"It's a special security system to keep people like him from getting in." Jinx said as she sat Kid Flash upright.
"Looks like it works." Bumblebee snickered.
Jinx shot her a dirty look.
"What?" Bumblebee said, "He's fine."
As Jinx tended to Kid Flash Bumblebee look at all the wiring, suddenly a smile appeared to her face.
"I think I found a way in."
"How?"
"Just stay with him. I'll be back in a second."
Before Jinx could say anything Bumblebee shrank down to her small size. She then flew up into a tiny crack where one of the wires went in.
"All these wires have to lead to somewhere."
Titans Tower
Raven was in her room, pacing back and forth.
Her emotions were about to go haywire.
She should have just meditated, but one nagging thought kept her.
It wasn't the assassins, Robin snapping, or the fact that she saw two dead bodies today.
But this feeling that had been bugging her since yesterday.
"That's it!" she said.
She went to her dresser and pulled out her mirror. She then laid the mirror on the floor, sat right up to it, and closed her eyes.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos." She chanted.
The room slowly faded away.
When Raven opened her eyes she was no longer in her room but her mind.
As she sat up one of her personalities walk up.
It was her annoyed personality.
"About time you showed up." It said, "This new one is driving us crazy."
Underground
Jinx waited for Bumblebee for about twenty minutes when all of the sudden a secret door on one of the walls open up.
Bumblebee walked into the room with a shock, sadden face.
"Hey, you did it!" Jinx said triumphantly.
"Is it morning already?" Kid Flash, still in a daze, asks.
"Not yet," Jinx said as she gently laid him down, "go back to sleep."
"Ok." He said before passing out again.
As Jinx walked up to the door Bumblebee put her hand on Jinx's shoulder.
"Jinx…listen to me," Bumblebee said with a concern face, "you don't want to go in there."
Jinx gave her a confused look.
"What do you mean?"
"Just trust me on this."
Jinx rolled her eyes and pushed Bumblebee out of the way. "Oh come on it can't be that bad."
As Jinx walked down a spiral staircase Bumblebee grabbed her.
"LOOK!" Bumblebee yelled, "I'm not joking around here. Don't go in there."
Jinx eyed Bumblebee, "Ok, I get it. You think I'm going to see something crazy that's going to make me freak out. But I'm tougher then you think. I fought you guys after all."
Jinx then took Bumblebee's hands off of her and continued down the staircase. When she reached the bottom a door stood before her.
When Jinx opened the door she screamed.
On the floor of the Brain's huge office were the bodies of Billy Numerous, Kyd Wykkyd, and many of her friends from HIVE. They had all been gas to death by the security system.
