Disclaimer I don't own the Teen Titans but I do own The Eight
Gizmo sat on his seat calmly eating his breakfast.
His eyes never left Robin.
Even when See More stole some of his eggs.
Or when Beast Boy hit him with a spit wad.
And even when Bumblebee freaked-out over the newspaper.
His eyes never left Robin.
"You may have them all fooled." He thought, "But not me."
The Hotel
Boa walked through the hallway of the hotel back to her room.
She enjoyed the breakfast in the diner but her headache was still nagging her. Now all she wanted was to lie down in her bed and take a nice long nap.
She was about to open the door to her room when all of the sudden Owl, Steer, and Fox ran up to her. They were carrying four small metal boxes.
"Boa!" Owl yelled as he threw one of the metal boxes at her, "You're with us. Hurry, we don't have much time."
As Boa caught the box she made a quiet grunt.
Her nap would have to wait.
Titans Tower
"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! YOU WEREN'T THERE!" Bumblebee yelled.
"Look," Cyborg said, "you're overreacting."
"OVERREACTING! HE KNEW WHO I WAS THE WHOLE TIME!"
Jump City's bridge
The four members were at the center of the bridge.
"Alright," Owl said as he marks their maps with the same four marks on his map, "Boa, I want you to place your box at the top right mark. Fox, you get the top left. Steer, you get the bottom right, and I'll get the bottom left. Remember to place it in a nice hidden area where no one will be able to see it. As soon as you turn your box on head back to the hotel no matter what. Are we clear?"
Steer, Fox, and Boa nodded, even though they didn't fully understand the plan.
"Good. Let's go."
Titans Tower
Gizmo sat in his chair looking at Robin.
To him it made perfect sense.
"He wanted to gather all the villains so The Eight could take us out all at once." He thought
The sealed windows, the closed air vents, and even the invitations. It all made sense in his paranoid head.
"Robin wasn't trying to keep The Eight out. He's trying to keep us in."
He knew he couldn't tell his 'friends'. They would never believe him.
He knew what he had to do.
He had to kill Robin.
Before The Eight killed him.
Jump City
Boa pulled out her map.
"This is the place." She said as she put her box down.
She remembers the box from a job they did in the jungle.
They were paid to kill a large guerrilla force that had been attacking settlements.
It was a very large and well-armed force they were facing.
There was no way The Eight could beat them in a stand up fight.
So Steer came up with a rather intelligent device.
It required all four boxes to be placed around an area.
Once the four were activated the boxes would block out any frequencies in the area.
Perfect for jamming a forces communication network.
But the question that had been nagging her was why Owl would want to use it.
Boa took one last look at her map as she turned on the box.
In the center of the four X's on the map was an island.
On that island was Titans Tower.
Titans Tower
At 10:32 A.M. the titans and the villains hear a static sound coming from their communicators.
Robin was the first to try to use his.
Nothing.
They tried their phones, the TV, their security cameras, and even the internet on their computers.
Nothing…nothing but static.
It took a few minutes before it sank in.
They couldn't talk to each other unless they were in the same room.
Their cameras weren't working and their widows were sealed, so there was no way to tell what was outside.
They couldn't call for help from the other titans.
And the only way to get a signal was to leave the safety of the Tower.
And they were sure that The Eight were waiting, patiently, outside.
The Hotel
At 11:30 Owl called a meeting to his room.
Everyone was there, except for Wolf.
"Where is he?" Owl asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Looking for me?" Wolf said as he walked in.
He was wearing his new face.
"Well," he said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Black Widow took one look at it and giggled.
"Very handsome." She said.
Owl on the other hand was not amused.
"Are you trying to be funny?" Owl said.
Wolf looked at Owl with shrug, "You don't like it?"
Owl wasn't going to get into another pointless argument with Wolf so he changed the subject.
"Tomorrow," he said, "we're going to skip a few targets on our list."
The Eight looked confused.
"Why?" Barracuda asked.
Owl turned to Wolf.
"You were right, I was wrong." He said to Wolf.
The Eight had blank faces.
Wolf on the other hand went wide eye.
"Seriously?" Wolf asked.
"Yes." Owl answered, "The other team has broken the truce. They are protecting a good chunk of our remaining targets in their tower."
"But…other leader let Fox kill." Fox said.
"Well I guess he had a change in heart." Black Widow snickered.
Wolf smiled.
"I want to be the one that kills him." He said.
"No." Owl said firmly.
Owl then turned to the rest of The Eight.
"I want to make this very clear. Their leader is not to be killed. You can hurt him, knock him out, or break a bone if you have to. But I want him alive."
"Why?"
"I want him to be the one who has to bury the coffins of his team."
Wolf smiled.
"I can deal with that. So when do we bust in and kick ass?"
"We're not going to 'bust in'." Owl said, "They have about seventeen people in that Tower, which outnumbers us by more than two to one."
"How do you know?" Barracuda asked.
"Oh…no it was very nice talking to her. I hope that we can get together again soon."
Owl then put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry. I'm sure you two will meet again pretty soon."
"You would think that someone who is named after an insect would be the first one to check her own clothing for bugs."
"So what's the plan?" Eel asked.
"We are going to have to get them to come out."
"How?"
Owl smiled.
"You'd be surprised on how easy that will be."
