Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen titans but I do own The Eight

Bumblebee slowly opened her eyes and found herself, lying on the last available bed in the sick bay with a splitting headache and bandage on her head.

As she tried to sit up a pair of arms gently forced her down.

"Take it easy." Cyborg's voice said.

Her vision was still foggy as she tried to look around the room.

"What…what happen." She manages to say.

Cyborg didn't say anything as he gently placed an ice pad on her head.

"Does that help?" he asked.

"What happen?" she asked again.

"I should have known." Cyborg said, "I should have known that the blueprints that Gizmo showed us were a fake. I guess I was just too caught up in the moment to think."

Bumblebee looked confused.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"There was no landline." Cyborg said, "Gizmo made it all up just so he could get Robin alone and try to kill him. You just happened to get caught in the crossfire."

"What? That little bastard! Where is he so I can beat the-"

"He's dead."

Bumblebee's face went blank.

"What? How?"

"He set off an explosion under the tower. You have no idea how lucky you and Robin are. As soon as that explosion went off Raven and Starfire flew down there faster than you could blink."

Bumblebee couldn't believe it. Gizmo…dead?

"What about the rest of HIVE Five?" she asked.

"They claimed to have nothing to do with it. I believe them." Cyborg shrugged, "It seems that Gizmo thought that Robin hired The Eight and that killing him would make them go away."

"So now what? Is Robin still going to go out and try to disable the jammers?" she asked.

Cyborg looked down.

"He was," he finally said, "Until Red X appeared in the middle of Starfire's room…"

Bumblebee saw a look in Cyborg that she had never seen.

"Sparky…what's wrong?"

"He's dead…his head was completely blown off."

Starfire

Starfire was in the bathroom washing her hands.

She scrubbed herself furiously, so hard that her skin was turning red.

But no matter how hard she scrubbed …she didn't feel clean.

"Starfire?" Robin's voice said as she entered the bathroom.

"Please…I wish to be alone." Starfire said as she picks up a second bar of soap.

"Stop." He said as he gently places his hand on hers.

"No…I must wash his blood off." She said franticly.

"You already did."

"No…see my hands are still red."

"They're just irritated from you washing them."

"No…it is blood. I must wash it off."

Robin grabbed both of her arms and pulled them from the sink.

"Starfire, look at me. Your hands are clean."

Starfire started to cry.

She had seen too much death these past few days.

Finding Red X's body in her room was the breaking point.

"I am sorry Robin." She said, "I do not know what came over me."

Robin looked at her with a friendly smile.

"You don't have to apologize." He said.

"I feel I must." She said, "I have seen death before. When I was imprisoned death was a constant occurrence. It had never troubled me before. Yet now it has somehow frightened me."

Robin held her hand and looked her in the eye.

"Maybe it's because you have a new appreciation for life now." He said.

Starfire smiled and hug him.

"Maybe you are right."

Jinx

Jinx sat in the garage of the tower hotwiring the T-car.

As soon as the engine started she heard a knock on the driver side window.

"Hey," Kid Flash said in his wheelchair as she rolled down the window, "Can I at least get a good bye kiss?"

Jinx looked down at the dashboard.

"I can't stay." She said.

"Sure you can. They don't blame you for what Gizmo did."

Jinx shot him an angry look making Kid Flash instantly realizing his mistake.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be…insensitive." He said.

Jinx had always thought of Gizmo as her annoying little brother.

Sure his was mean, sure he was a pain in the ass, but he was still family to her.

And as much as she didn't want to admit it she was sad that he was dead and was furious when Beast Boy said 'good riddance.'

"Come on." Kid Flash tried again, "Let's go upstairs and have some ice cream. They have your favorite flavor."

"I told you I can't stay!" she said forcefully.

Kid Flash looked at her and could tell there was no way he could talk her out of it.

"Ok, if that's how you feel." He said as he got up from his wheelchair and limped to the passenger side.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she yelled as he open the door and sat right next to her.

"So where do you want to go?" he asked, "My feet should be fully healed in a couple of days. When that happens how about I take you to a nice tropical island. You always did look nice in a bathing suit."

"Get out!" she yelled.

"Or why not jolly old England? The fish and chips are to die for."

"I said get out!"

"Or how about France? You can get that bread you love so much."

Jinx got out of the car, stomped up to the passenger side, open the door, and yanked him out.

"You're not coming!" she yelled.

"Says who?"

"Says me!"

"Why?"

"Because I don't want you to be with me!"

"Why?"

"Because…we're through! You hear me! Broken up! Finish! Over! We never would have worked out anyway! So I'm ending it now!"

Kid Flash just looked at her calmly.

"Is that what you really want?" he asked.

Jinx quickly nodded her head.

Kid Flash smiled.

"You're lying."

"OH NO! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT SHIT WITH ME AGAIN!" she screamed.

Kid Flash limped up to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"LET GO OF ME!" she yelled.

"No." he said.

She then blasted him with her pink energy causing him to fly back and hit a stack of spare tires.

"Don't make me hurt you." She said.

"It's a little too late for that." He said as he got back up.

As he limped towards her again she blasted him a second time.

He flew back hitting the work bench with a loud smack.

"Stay away from me!" she said.

"No." he said as he got back up and limped towards her once more.

She blasted him again.

"I don't want to hurt you."

"Really? You could have fooled me." He said as he got back up.

She blasted him again.

"Just stay down!"

"No." He said with a smile as he staggers up.

She blasted him again.

"Why don't you just stay down?"

"Because I care too much about you."

"Bullshit!"

"Really? Isn't that the same reason why you're doing this?"

Tears started to fill Jinx's eyes.

"It's…not." She said as she lowered her arm.

Kid Flash limped up to her and once more wrapped his arms around her.

"You're lying." He said.

"I hate you." She said as he held her tight.

Kid Flash just smiled that cocky smile he always had as he kissed her.

"I love you too." He said as they walked back upstairs.

Raven

Raven meditated in her room.

She was trying to make sense of this feeling of jealousy that was starting to consume her.

"Why does Beast Boy still have feelings for her, after all she did to him?"

"Why couldn't I have been the one to carry Robin to the top? Why did it have to be her?"

She knew it was childish to feel such feelings.

Yet she couldn't help it.

Her feelings towards Terra had always been mistrust and suspicion. But this was a whole new level of hatred.

She hated her blonde hair, her powers, her face, her lies, and the simple fact that she didn't deserve him.

Her feelings for Starfire were even more complex.

She had always viewed Starfire as a very close friend, someone to talk to and trust.

But now she was starting to hate the way she talked, her childish behavior in certain situations, how she could show emotions without the fear of blowing something up, how Robin looked at her when she entered a room, and how she was perfect for him in every way.

She knew it was wrong to feel such hatred.

It was hatred that gave her father power.

And yet deep down, she felt justified.

Knock! Knock!

"Who is it?" she asked as she tried to keep her voice steady.

"It's me." Beast Boy's voice came.

Raven's eyes went wide as she almost fell out of bed.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Can I come in? Or would you rather meet me at the door?"

"Um…wait there." she stuttered.

As she opens the door she saw him standing with a piece of paper in his hand.

"You can walk now?" she asked.

"Yeah…my legs fall asleep every now and then but other than that I'm fine." He said as he held up the piece of paper.

"What's that?" she asked.

Beast Boy cleared his throat and read from the paper.

"Raven, I'm sorry I've treated you like some creepy animal when we first form this team. I'm sorry for all the pranks I've done to you. I'm sorry for all the jokes I've told you even when you told me to stop. I'm sorry for the time I broke into your room and played with your mirror. I'm sorry I told everyone it was your birthday when it was clear you didn't want a party. I'm sorry I snuck into your room as a fly and spied on you and that wizard dude in the book. And I'm sorry I act immature around you. Please forgive me."

Raven just stood there stunned.

"What's this all about?" she asked with her usually dry tone.

Beast Boy looked up from the paper and gave a nervous smile.

"Well," he said, "When I saw Red X it scared the crap out of me. I mean that could have been anyone of us, you know. So I wrote this because if one of us is next then…I don't want to die with any regrets. Look I know we don't get along. And I know that most of it is my fault. And I know there's hundreds of other stuff I've done to you that I just can't remember. Do you forgive me?"

Raven didn't know what to say.

"I..um…" she stuttered.

"I understand." He said as he started to walk away.

"Beast Boy." She finally said.

He turned around and looked at her.

"I forgive you…for everything" She said.

"Thanks." He said smiling, "That's a huge weight off my shoulders. Well I better go to Cyborg. Believe it or not the list I have for him is even bigger."

As Raven watch Beast Boy walked away all she could think of was what he said.

"I don't want to die with any regrets."
