Disclaimer I don't own the Teen titans but I do own The Eight
(Sorry that there hasn't been much action in these past few chapters. Just see them as build up for the craziness that will happen. Because when the action does pick up again. It. Will. Not. Stop. On a side note in this chapter I will translate what Mas Y Menos are saying since it's imported to the plot. Once more if you speak Spanish and my translation is off tell me and accept my apology.)
At exactly 8:30 in the morning Mas Y Menos left the tower at super speeds with a handful of invitations.
With a little luck they could be done before 9:00.
The hotel
Boa staggered into the dining room of the hotel and sat at a table.
"What can I do for you miss?" her waiter asked.
"I would like the biggest omelet you have and a cup of black coffee." She said still holding her hands on her head.
"Right away miss."
Boa's head was still killing her, but she hated being cooped up in a room.
"You should be in bed." A voice came beside her.
Boa turned her head and saw Barracuda limping to her table.
"That's just what Fox said." She responded, "And you're one to talk."
Barracuda shrugged as she sat down.
"It's just a bruise knee, if you think that's bad you should see Black Widow. The crazy bitch is walking on a broken ankle."
Boa wasn't surprised in the least. "Well whatever she's using I could sure go for."
"Well why didn't you say so?" Black Widow's voice came from behind, "I would have been more than happy to share."
She walks up to them and sat down with a smile that was just too happy.
"I feel really hurt over your 'crazy bitch' comment." She said as she turns to Barracuda.
"I thought you would," Barracuda said with a smile, "that's why I waited for you to be in earshot before I said it."
The two then let out a laugh that filled the room.
"Shut up." Boa said as she put her hands on what was left of her ears.
"Here." Black Widow said as she pulled out a needle from her pocket, "It will make all the pain go away."
"I don't need any of your concoctions." Boa said firmly.
Black Widow then turns to Barracuda, "What about you?"
Barracuda shook her head, "Nah…all I need is an ice pack and some aspirin."
Black Widow let out a sigh as she shot herself in her foot with the needle.
"You two don't know how to have any fun."
The Tower
"How are we doing on the basement wall?" Cyborg's voice came from the communicator.
"Almost done." See More said.
"Good, as soon as you four are done get back up here and help us with the air vents."
"No problem."
See More, Gizmo, Mammoth, and Privet Hive were in the basement working on the wall.
The four didn't say anything, they still weren't sure if the Titans were listening.
Finally Privet Hive broke the silence.
"I think you're wrong." He said to Gizmo.
Gizmo didn't say anything.
"Did you hear me?" Privet Hive said.
Gizmo turned his head.
"Yeah I heard you…and I think you're an idiot."
Above in the next floor Raven walks into the sick bay.
"How are you two feeling?" she asked.
"GreatcanIgetupnow?" Kid Flash asked way to fast.
"No." she said bluntly.
"What! Oh come on!" he said, "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just get up right now."
Raven calmly walks up to his bed and pokes his left foot with her finger.
"OOOWW!" he yelled.
"That's one." She said as she move her hand to the right foot, "Need a second reason."
"Alright alright you win." He said with a grunt.
Raven then turned to Beast Boy's bed.
"So," she said, trying not to look him in the eye, "feel like walking today?"
"Thought you'd never ask." Beast Boy said as he sat up to the edge of the bed.
Raven let out a deep breath, "I'm just helping him walk…nothing more." She thought.
She went up to his bed placed his arm over her shoulder and wraped her arm around his waist.
"Keep it together…keep it together." She thought as her heart rate went up.
"Alright, on the count of three I want you to stand up." She said trying to keep her voice steady.
Beast Boy nodded.
"One, two, three."
She very slowly pulled him up from the bed and stood him up.
"Good so far?" She asked.
He nodded.
"Ok…I'm going to let go. Ready?"
"Yup."
She slowly, and deep down regrettably, let go of him.
Beast Boy's legs wobbled a bit as he used his arm, still around her shoulder, for support.
"Ok…here I go."
He took his arm off of Raven, kept his balance, and took a small step…before falling to the ground.
As Raven helpede him back up he let out a little chuckle.
"Better then yesterday."
Back in the basement Gizmo and Privet Hive continued to argue.
"What's the matter? Can't handle being wrong?" Privet Hive yelled.
"I'm NOT wrong!" Gizmo yelled.
"Please, I spent hours last night studying a tape that Bumblebee had, while eating a pizza that Cyborg bought, and sleeping on a very confortable bed that Robin gave me. If these people want us dead they're really going all out."
Gizmo grinded his teeth.
"Face it," Privet Hive said, "Whoever hired The Eight isn't one of them."
"Bullshit…it has to be!" Gizmo yelled.
"Why? Because you say so?"
Gizmo turned to Mammoth and to See More and could tell just by looking in their eyes that they agreed.
"Idiots! ALL OF YOU!" he yelled as he stormed out of the basement.
"So what do we do now?" See More asked.
"I say we finish this wall." Mammoth said, "At least this plan might work."
"Sounds good to me." Privet Hive said as the three of them went back to work.
The Park
Boa left the hotel to get some fresh air.
The morning sun hurt her eyes but the air felt so good that she didn't mind the headache.
After walking a few blocks she notices a city park.
She always loved parks.
They were so quiet and peaceful.
It made her forget what she was.
It made her forget that two days ago she ruthlessly killed a man by snapping his spine.
It made her forget that she had the second highest kill score of The Eight even more then Wolf and Black Widow combined.
It made her forget…that the only thing she was good at was ending life.
As she sat on a bench and thought about her life she felt a strong gust of wind.
Mas Y Menos stopped in a park looking at the list of villains they had yet to visit.
As Menos studied the list Mas stared at a girl sitting on a bench.
"¿Qué está mal?" Menos asked. (What is wrong?)
Mas pointed to the girl.
"Ella no tiene las orejas… como una serpiente." He said. (She has no ears… like a snake)
Menos turned his head.
He saw a girl, about 5'4 with brown hair that stopped just before her shoulders. She was wearing a green tank top with army pants and combat boots. Her hands were wrapped in white medical tape, and had countless scars over her face and arms.
But what grabbed their attention the most was the fact that her ears had been completely cut off.
All that was left was a deformed scar where they use to be.
The two had never seen anything like this before and even though they did not mean to be rude they could not help but stare.
The girl then turned her head at them.
"Ven algo que les guste?" she said in an angry tone. (See anything you like)
Mas Y Menos eyes budge out. They were not expecting her to be able to speak Spanish.
"Disculpe a mi hermano y a mi." Menos said as the two bowed their heads. (Forgive me and my brother)
The girl looked at them then nodded her head.
"Estás perdonado." She said. (You are forgiven)
"Gracias." They said as they ran at high speeds form the park. (Thank you)
As Boa watches the two boys run at super speed she felt what used to be her ears.
"At least they apologize."
