Disclaimer I don't own the Teen Titans, but I do own The Eight
Gizmo balances himself on a pipe waiting for Robin.
"This is it." He thought, "Once Robin' s dead The Eight will leave."
He smiled as he heard Robin get closer.
There was a reason Gizmo wanted to fight him down here.
Because of the cramped space Robin couldn't use any of his high flying fancy moves, he couldn't use his pole or gadgets, and he couldn't even kick.
Gizmo, thanks to his small size, on the other hand could move much more freely, plus he had the element of surprise.
As for Bumblebee…she was just someone who got in the way.
"Can you hear me?" He heard Robin ask.
"Yup, we can hear you just fine." Gizmo said as he raised his wrench.
Outside
Owl looked at the front of Jump City High School.
As he studies the front of the school and the surroundings he gently talked into his head set.
"Fox, come in." he said.
"Fox here."
"Are you four almost back?"
"Yes Owl."
"I want you four to head to the high school. Stay on top of the roofs and keep an eye out. I'm being watched."
Titans Tower
As Robin got closer Gizmo started to talk.
"So, Robin…who else knows?" Gizmo asked.
Robin paused, "Know what?"
"Don't bullshit me…who else knows…or should I say, who else is in on it?"
Robin stopped, "What are you talking about?"
"Can't be that green idiot, he's too much of a pussy to do anything like that. Raven maybe, since it runs in the family. As for the bucket of bolts, he would be smart enough to hack the security."
Robin's eyes widen.
"But I doubt he would do that. As for your alien girlfriend, she does come off as a gentle innocent bimbo, but she also comes off as someone who would do whatever you say without question."
Robin started to climb down faster.
"Or am I wrong? Is it just you? Did you finally just have it with putting us in jail over and over and over and over again? Did you just want us all dead but didn't have the balls to do it yourself?"
Robin entered the small area where Gizmo was waiting.
Gizmo tried to swing at Robin's head with his wrench but Robin with his quick reflexes grabs his arm and twisted it.
Gizmo yelps in pain as he dropped the wrench.
"Where's Bumblebee?" Robin said as he slammed Gizmo against the wall in the cramp tunnel while trying to keep his balance.
"She had a little bump on the head." Gizmo chuckled.
"Where is she you sack of shit?" Robin demanded as he places one of his hands on Gizmo's throat.
"Down the rabbit hole," Gizmo smiled, "go and get her…murderer."
Robin punched Gizmo in the face so hard it broke his nose.
As Gizmo went limp Robin tied him up with the wire that was supposed to connect to the landline.
"I'll deal with you latter." Robin said as he tied up Gizmo to one of the pipes.
"Bumblebee!" Robin yelled as he climbed down, "I'm coming! Hang in there!"
He didn't hear any response.
"Come on! Say something!"
Still nothing.
As he climbed down further he could hear the sound of running water.
"It must me the ocean." He thought.
The tunnel was starting to get very damp and wider the more he climbed down.
After for what seemed like forever he finally reaches the bottom.
It was a large cavern with rocks, pipes, and a shallow pool of ocean water.
"Bumblebee!" Robin yelled.
No response.
He looked around the dark cavern with his flashlight fearing the worse.
"Come on," he said, "we need you."
Finally, he saw her. She was slump down over a rock; blood was dribbling from her head.
Robin quickly ran to her and pulled her up. She was breathing…barely.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out of he-"
Before he could finish Gizmo had come up from behind and hit him in the back with a broken pipe.
"You're not going anywhere you murdering sack of crap!" Gizmo yelled as he raised the pipe.
"Gizmo!" Robin said as he rolled out of the way before the pipe could hit him, "I have nothing to do with The Eight."
"Really?...Does Control Freak know that?" Gizmo said.
Robin's eyes went wide.
"That's right boy wonder." Gizmo said as he swung again, "I know all about how you let them kill him. I can't wait to see Starfire's face when I tell her. I wonder what she'll do when she finds out her boyfriend is nothing more than a murdering piece of shit."
Robin growled as he tackled him to the ground.
"HOW!" he said as he punches Gizmo in the face.
"DARE!" he punched again.
"YOU!" And again
"JUDGE!" And again.
"ME!" And again.
Gizmo's body went limp.
His face was nothing more than a mash of blood and skin.
Robin finally stopped.
He was breathing heavily.
"Damn you." He said to Gizmo as he walked over to Bumblebee.
He picked her up gently and places her on his shoulders.
As he started to climb back up he could hear laughing.
"Hehehe…leaving so soon?" Gizmo said as he spat out blood.
Robin just ignored him and continued climbing.
"See you in hell." Gizmo said as he reaches into his pocket and pulled out a grenade.
He threw the grenade straight at Robin, but Robin's reflexes were too fast. He kicked the grenade right back at him.
It flew over Gizmo's head and landed behind him.
The explosion punched a hole in the cavern, causing the ocean water to rush in.
Before he could react Gizmo was swept into the current.
Robin tried his best to out climb the current, but the cramp space combined with the weight of Bumblebee was too much.
The powerful current pulled him and Bumblebee down.
Using all of his strength Robin did his best to keep Bumblebee's head above the water.
But he was only human and the ocean's current was too strong.
As he felt himself pulled down into the abyss a pair of arms grabbed him and pulled it up.
It was Starfire.
"Robin," she said, "Do not worry, I have you."
"Bumblebee," He said, "She's still down there."
"Raven has her." Starfire said, "All is well."
"What about Gizmo."
Starfire's face looked away.
"I am sorry Robin…we were not fast enough."
Deep down Robin gave a little shout of victory.
"It's ok Starfire. You did what you could."
Outside
Gizmo's head popped out of the water.
The sea water stung his face.
With all of the strength he had left he swam to one of the beaches in the bay.
When he reached the shore he fell to the ground exhausted.
The fact that he survived was nothing short of a miracle.
Gizmo tried to stand up but didn't have anything left.
As he passed out on the beach only one thought went through his head.
"This isn't over; not by a long shot."
