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

Sorry that this update took so long. My life has been really busy lately and I almost never have time to sit down and write anything. But here we are with a brand new chapter. I hope you enjoy!

"As long as I get paid I don't give a damn."

Fox sat on a bench on the shore looking at Titans Tower.

His job was simple; guard the jammers, monitor the tower, and announce if anyone left it.

As he looked on and sniff the air he thought about Boa.

He couldn't wait for this job to be over.

He couldn't wait to be with her.

Robin and Boa

Robin almost didn't have time to duck under the blur of Boa's fist.

As it glazed his hair her left knee simultaneously went for his face.

This time he was able to bring his hands up to block it, but the sheer force of the blow sent him reeling back.

He didn't even have time to recover.

Boa pounce on him, tacked him to the ground, and threw everything she had.

Punches and elbows rained on Robin's face as he tried to get back up.

Boa didn't stop.

This was how she fought.

Fast.

Quick.

No mercy.

In the world she grew up in you had to be.

You had to be or you died.

Robin's world, on the other hand, taught him something different.

Skills will always trump power.

As Boa rained blows on him Robin flatten out his back and raise his legs.

Boa was too preoccupied punching him in the face to notice.

In one swift, almost beautiful, motion Robin grab her arms and wrap his legs around her neck.

It was a picture perfect triangle choke. (If you watch MMA like I do then you know what a triangle choke looks like. However, if you don't just Google it. There's no doubt in my mind Robin could pull this off.)

Boa struggle as the grip tighten.

But Robin didn't let go. He legs just tighten, ironically like a boa constrictor, as he held on to her arms.

It would be only a matter of time before she passed out.

And sure enough her arms went limp.

"Finally," Robin said as he let go of her arms.

But Boa was only playing possum.

Before Robin could react she scooped her hands under him and lifted him up.

He could only brace himself as Boa power bomb him into the asphalt. He felt his back slammed into the ground and the wind knock right out of him.

As he gasps for air Boa let go of him and stagger back. Her vision was still cloudy from almost being choked out.

As Robin got up and wiped the blood from his nose a cold hard fact hit him.

She was faster them him…and stronger.

And even though he manages to get her in a choke hold he doubt she would fall for that again.

As the two just stared at each other a voice came from Robin's communicator.

"Attention titans, your little friends have something to say."

And then came the sound of the twins screaming in pain.

A sickening feeling came to Robin. He had to end this and fast.

"That's the twins…isn't it?" Boa said, "Sorry…they were nice."

"Then let me go help them." Robin demanded.

Boa just shook her head.

"So it's all about the money then, huh?" Robin said with a disgusted tone.

Boa face remained blank.

"We'll find some way to make money off of you."

"The novelty of a girl fighting will at least make us a good profit."

"I made a killing today thanks to you."

"Oh Maria, you are a gold mine."

"It always has been." She said.

Robin didn't waste any more time.

He drew his pole out and swung at her head.

As she duck under the blow she tried to kick at his legs but miss by an inch.

Robin back up and held the pole out long ways.

He then tried to jab the pole multiple times at her head.

As Boa dodged each pole jab she tried in vain to counter.

But the pole gave Robin too much of a reach advantage, giving him enough time to see even her lighting fast moves coming.

As she tried once more to kick at Robin he timed a perfect swing at her other leg.

The blow knocked her off balance and as she tried to recompose herself Robin swung a hard blow at her face.

WACK!

The pole slammed into Boa mouth, blooding her lip and knocking her down.

As she fell Robin tried to finish it.

He jump in the air and tried to slam the pole on top of her. But Boa rolled out of the way just in the nick of time.

As she stood up blood poured from her mouth and she spit out a tooth.

Robin smiled. He knew how to beat her.

All he had to do was keep his distance, don't let her get close, and mix up his attacks.

KABOOM!

Before the two fighters could charge each other again a building a few blocks down came crashing to the ground.

A thick cloud of ash filled the streets.

"What the hell is going on?" Robin thought.

Boa paid no attention to the building. All she thought about was winning this fight.

She charged Robin head on. This time staying low to the ground.

Robin once more jab his pole at her…only to see her quickly move to the side and grab it.

Boa's grip was insane. Despite Robin's best efforts she yanked it out of his hands and threw it to the side.

"No toys." She said and she threw a lighting fast jab at him.

Her speed was too much, the punch slammed into his face dazing him.

Before he could recover Boa grab the back of his head and slammed her knee into his face.

He could feel his nose beak as knee after knee smashed into him, but despite the beating he was taking he managed to shove her off of him.

Boa, however, was unrelenting. She ponce on him again and tried to grab the back of his head again.

This time Robin was ready for it.

As her hands grabbed him he threw a hard front kick to her knee throwing her off balance.

As she stumbled Robin drew out one of his razor sharp boomerangs and stabbed it into her right arm.

Boa grunted in pain, let go of him, and back off. She was holding her arm as blood poured from the wound.

Robin hated having to do that, but he thought about the twins and knew what he had to do.

Now it was time to finish this.

This time Robin was the aggressor and charged her.

Because of her right arm's injuries Boa threw a hard overhand cross with her left arm.

Which was exactly what Robin was counting on.

He stayed just out of reach of the punch and grabbed her arm.

Before Boa could react Robin jump, wrap his legs around her arm, and brought her to the ground.

It was perfect flying arm bar. (If you don't know what a flying arm bar is looked it up on Youtube. They are amazing to see.)

Boa rolled and desperately tried to shake him off but it was no use. Robin grip on her was flawless as he slowly bent her arm backwards.

He didn't want to do this.

He really didn't.

But he thought about the twins, about his team, about all the other people these assassins had killed, and about Starfire.

And he did what he had to do.

He could feel Boa's arm breaking.

He could hear the snapping sound.

He could see the bone pushing against the skin.

And only then did he let go.

He stood up and wiped the blood coming from his broken nose.

There was so much pouring from it that he was force to breathe through his mouth.

But he had won.

He turned his back on Boa walked up to his bike and stood it up.

Now it was time to help the twins.

"WE'RE NOT DONE YET!" Boa yelled.

Robin turned his head and saw her standing up.

Her left arm was limp, bent at an odd angle and her right arm was a bloody mess.

"Yes we are." He said.

Boa wasn't listening as she charged him.

She hated fighting.

She hated killing.

She hated what she was.

And this one last job was her ticket out of the world that she had been a part of most of her life.

There was no way in hell she was going to let that be taken away from her.

Not by a broken arm and certainly not by Robin.

Robin quickly moved out of the way from a powerful right cross and kicked her broken left arm.

But Boa was to jack up on adrenaline to even feel it as she plowed forward.

As she swung wildly at him Robin knew that the only way to stop this was to knock her out.

He jump back, bent his knees, and ready himself.

Boa charged at him like a bull seeing a red cape.

Once she was in range Robin jumped at her and attempted to hit her in the head with a devastating flying knee.

But Boa saw it coming.

She duck and threw a hard right at the same time.

The punch, combined with her punching power and Robin's forward momentum, smash into Robin's head.

His head sapped back. His brain slammed against his skull.

And Robin, leader of the Teen Titans, one of the best fighters in the world fell to the ground.

He was knocked out cold.

Boa stood for a second over him and then the pain in her arm came to her.

She fell to her knees, holding her arm, and yelled in pain.

She may have won but she paid a high price for it.

People where now pointing and watching her.

She knew she had to leave.

As she slowly got up she pulled out her headset form her pocket.

"Owl…come in." she manage to say as she started to walk away.

"What is it Boa?"

"Their leader is down."

"Is he dead?"

"No."

"Good."

"I need help."

"What's wrong?"

"Arm…broken."

There was a small pause.

"I want you to head to the hospital. We'll meet you there with this is over."

"Fox will help." Fox's voice came over the headset.

"No Fox," Owl said, "You need to stay."

"No…Fox help Boa."

"Stay where you are Fox." Owl's voice rose, "That's an order."

"….No."

"Don't you DARE disobey me Fox!"

But it was too late; Fox had turned off his headset.

Boa meanwhile tried to continue walking, but the wound on her right arm was bleeding too much and she was starting to get very lightheaded.

Despite her efforts the blood loss was too much and she passed out right in the middle of a sidewalk.

"I'm sorry Fox." She thought before she closed her eyes, "I was really…looking forward to you joining me."
