"Alright class we have a few guest speakers today." The headmistress' voice boomed over the classroom, "I want you to give them your full undivided attention."

"Yes Headmistress." The class said in unison.

"Owl." The headmistress said, "You have the floor."

Cyborg

Every time Cyborg walked into a new room or hallway of the hospital all eyes followed him.

Maybe it was because he was a titan.

Maybe it was the huge hole in his head where his red eye uses to be.

Maybe it was the fact that he was still carrying Wolf's unconscious body ever since he got here.

It didn't matter…he didn't care.

All that mater was one thing…or maybe to put into better words, one person.

"Excuse me." He said to one of the nurses outside of a room, "May I go inside."

"Are you a family member?" the nurse asked, not even looking up from her notebook.

"No." he said.

"I'm sorry bu-" she looked up and saw his face, "Oh my god! Are…are you ok?"

"I'm fine." He said not even fazed at her reaction, "Please, can I go in…I need to see her."

"Oh…um…sure." She said still in shock over his face.

"Thanks, this means a lot." He said gratefully.

Bumblebee was stretched out on a hospital bed. There were numerous bandages and stitches where Owl had stabbed her, and her left wrist was in a cast.

"Sparky?" she said weakly when she saw him.

"Don't talk." He said as he sat down next to the bed.

"Don't tell me what to do One Eye Willy." She said with a smile before groaning in pain.

"Sorry sparky…I screwed up."

"Don't worry about it." He said.

He wanted to hold her hand but stopped himself when he saw them bandaged.

"Did we get him?" she asked.

"Yeah?"

"Sparky…I…"

"What?"

"It's just…thanks…for being here."

"Anytime."

Bumblebee held out her right hand and places it in his.

She didn't care about the pain.

Holding his hand was more than worth it.

After a while Hot Spot's head poked in.

"We're moving Owl to the Tower. You want to stay or go?"

"He'll go." Bumblebee said.

"I don't have to." Cyborg responded.

"Yeah you do." She said, "You can't walk around with that peephole. I know your head is hollow but that's taking it too far."

Cyborg couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you sure you'll be fine?"

"Just go," she said with a smile as she squeezes his hand goodbye, "You've done enough."

Owl

Argent walked into the Hospital room where Jericho/Owl and Pantha waited.

"Alright," she said to them, "Time to go."

"What do you mean?" Pantha asked.

"The head of the hospital doesn't want him," she pointed to Jericho/Owl, "In HIS hospital. Made a big fuss about it."

Pantha looked at Jericho/Owl, "I do not blame him."

Jericho/Owl just shrugged, "Well it can't be helped. You want to help me out of these chains."

"No need." Argent said, as two arms of red energy shot out of her and picked him up, chair and all.

"Ummm, you know I can walk." Jericho/Owl said as Argent carried him out of the room.

"I'm taking no chances." She said.

Raven

"Ready to go?" Raven asked as she helped Aqualad up.

"Yeah," he said as he leans against her, "Just tell me if I'm about to run into a wall."

"Sure." She answered with a dry tone.

As the two started to walk through the hospital Raven saw every one of the titans.

"So you're staying?" Hot Spot asked Robin.

"Yeah." Robin said, "I…want to be here when she wakes up."

Raven turned her head away from him.

"Where are you taking me?" Terra asked.

"To our tower." Beast Boy said with a smile, "It's safe there."

Terra looked at him then at the titans.

"No," she said, "I need to go home…I ne-"

Wonder Girl walks up to Terra and places her hand on her shoulders.

"Look," Wonder Girl said in a calm voice, "I know you're scared. But it's too dangerous."

Tara backed away.

"Why me?" she yelled, "What do they want with me? I didn't DO ANYTHING!"

As the titans tried to calm her down Raven kept walking.

She wanted to put as much distance as she could between Terra and herself.

The fact that Terra was going to be in the tower with her made her stomach turn, but Raven knew that that was the best course of action.

No matter how much she didn't want to admit it.

"So," Aqualad said as the two walked outside, "You really know a potion that will help me see?"

Raven nodded.

"Did, you hear me?" he said.

"Oh," Raven said realizing her mistake, "Yeah."

Aqualad let out a short laugh.

"You ok?" he asked as the two sat down on a bench waiting for the others, "I mean despite the fact that ruthless assassins have two of us hostage and both of us got banged up a bit."

Raven wanted to tell Aqualad everything.

Hell, she wanted to tell SOMEONE just so she wouldn't have to keep it bottled up.

"No," she finally said, "I'm not ok."

"Want to tell me about it?" he asked as the other titans started to come outside.

"Maybe later, when I fix your eyes." she said as both of them stood up.

"You got it."

"Alright," Wonder Girl said. "Thunder, Lightning, Kilowatt and I will patrol the city from the skies and see if we can find anything. Herald, Hot Spot, Bushido, Wildebeest, and Red Star, you patrol the ground and stay in pairs. Everyone on board?"

"I'm staying." Robin said.

Wonder Girl understood and simply nodded.

"Make way, coming through." Argent said as she carried Jericho/Owl.

Every one of the titans had their eyes on him, and some with weapons drawn on him too.

Jericho/Owl couldn't help but laugh.

"Overkill don't you think?" he said.

"I was thinking the same thing." Hotspot said, "Herald, you ready?"

Herald nodded.

The portal open as Kole, Gnarrk, Jericho in Owl's body, Cyborg (who was still carrying Wolf's unconscious body) Argent, Beast Boy, Terra, Speedy, Aqualad, Raven and Pantha walked through it onto the beach of Titans Tower.

"HEYYYYY!" Kid Flash yelled as he waved to the Titans from the door entrances.

Kole waved back as she walked up and hugged him.

"Long time no…what's with the wheelchair?" she asked.

"Oh, long story short, feet are jacked up, can't run, have to sit in this…thing. And I hate every single second of it."

"Look out coming through!" Argent yelled as she carried Jericho/Owl into the tower.

"Hey Flash," Jericho/Owl said, "Sorry I can't shake your hand. Maybe latter."

Kid Flash just nodded as the rest of the Titans entered the Tower.

"So that's him." He thought as he closes the main door, "that's the reason Jinx didn't want to greet them."

Jinx

Jinx was in the Tower's kitchen looking through the drawers.

"Hmm," she mumbles to herself as she pulled out a butcher knife, "too big."

She then pulled out a smaller paring knife.

"No," she thought as she put it back, "Not good enough."

She then spotted a pair of knitting needles that Starfire had left on the counter. She had been knitting the past few days to help keep her mind off The Eight.

Jinx picked up one of the needles. It was long and thin…something you could easily hide.

But it wasn't sharp.

Jinx smiled, "This has potential."

"Now," Owl said as one of the students stood before him, "Attack me."

The student looked at Owl with a smile.

"You sure?" the student asked with a cocky tone.

Owl just nodded.

The student held his arms out as two long tentacles emerged from them.

Owl's face never changes as the student charged him swinging the tentacles at Owl's face.

The student never stood a chance.

Owl dodged every attack with ease before tackling the student to the ground holding his sword at his throat.

"Now," Owl said as he calmly got up and faced the students who were awestruck, "Did you see what he did wrong?"

"You're too fast." One of the students said.

"No," Owl answered, "I was able to beat him because," he looked the student in the eye, "he relied too much on his power and not enough of his skill.

The student stared back at Owl with anger and embarrassment.

"You see," Owl continued as he faces the class, "Your powers are nothing more than an extension of you. If you have no skill then anyone will be able to kill you."

The student's fists clench.

"His movements while showy, are very…very sloppy and therefore very…"

The student lost his temper and charged Owl.

Without hesitation Owl shoved his sword through the student's stomach.

"predicable."

Jinx was now in the garage with the knitting needle looking through one of Cyborg's countless toolboxes.

"Bingo." She said as she pulled out a metal file.

Kid Flash

Kid Flash rolled down the halls of the tower looking for Jinx.

After a few minutes he saw her walking down the hallway.

"Hey!" he yelled with a smile.

"Um…hey." She said quietly.

Kid Flash's eyebrows rise.

"What's wrong?" he said.

Jinx looking at him in the eye.

"Look," she said harshly, "I'm not in the mood for that question."

"Ok," he said as he backed off.

As she walked down the hall Kid Flash followed her.

"What?" she said.

"Nothing, just want to be around you. It that bad?" he said with a smile.

Jinx didn't say anything and continued walking.

"So…where are we going?" Kid Flash asked.

Jinx turned around.

"Look," she said, "Do you trust me?"

Kid Flash eyes widen.

"Oh course." He answered.

"Then let me do this one thing…alone." She said.

"What 'one thing'?" he asked suspiciously.

"Just trust me on this…Ok?"

"All right. Can I get a hug?"

Jinx eyes narrowed.

"Seriously?" she said clearly annoyed.

"Very." He said.

"Fine."

She bent over and wrapped her arms around him.

"Happy?" she said.

"Very much."

As she walked away she checked her pockets only to find them empty.

"What the hell?" she said out loud.

"Looking for this?" Kid Flash said behind her.

She turned around and saw him holding the knitting needle.

Which she had sharpened to a razor point.

"Give me that!" she yelled as her arms darted at him.

Even in a wheelchair Kid Flash was too fast for her as his hands moved out of the way.

"What's this for?" he asked.

"NONE OF YOUR BEESWAX!" she yelled as she dove at him.

Kid Flash was taken aback by her tone and face.

"Jinx…tell me. Please." He asked.

Jinx didn't say anything.

As Kid Flash looked into her eyes he saw the reason.

"It's for Owl…isn't it."

Once more Jinx didn't say anything.

"Ok," Owl said as he looked at the five remaining students, "it appears that your headmistress decided that you are all expendable."

The five students were on their knees with The Eight looking down on them.

Around them were the bodies of dead students and teachers.

Kid Flash rolled up to the room in which they held Owl.

Guarding the entrance was Kole and Gnarrk.

"Hey." He said, "Let me in."

Kole took one look at Kid Flash and nodded her head.

"You hear him Gnarrk."

Gnarrk opened the door.

In the room were two chairs.

One had Pantha who never let her eyes leave the prisoner, the other Jericho/Owl who was still chained up.

"Jericho," Kid Flash said, "I want to ask him a question."

"He's not going to tell us were the twins are." Jericho/Owl said.

"That's not what I want to asked him."

Jericho/Owl looked at Pantha who simply nodded.

Owl's body shook for a bit after Jericho jumped out.

Then his eye fell on Kid Flash.

"Why hello there." Owl said with a kind smile.

"Look," Kid Flash said, "I'm only going to asked this once. What did you do to her?"

"Whoever are you talking about?" he asked with a creepy cheerful tone.

"You know very well who!" Kid Flash yelled.

Owl's smile got wider.

"You love her don't you?" Owl said, "I can tell just by your eyes. You treat her like a queen. You protect her without question. You would die for her in an instant without hesitation. I find that rather sad."

"Why?" Kid Flash said as his fist clench.

Owl leaned back.

"Because," he said, "She wouldn't do the same for you."

Owl stood over the five students.

"Now I'm going to be honest with all of you here. I could care less whether any of you live or die today. My problem isn't with you but with your headmistress."

He then drew is rifle.

"So do any of you know where she might be hiding?"

None of them spoke.

"Alright."

The first bullet hit the one of the student right in the head. As his body slumped down the other four looked on in horror.

"Now let's make a deal." Owl said as he raises his rifle, "the first one to tell me what I want to know will live. The other three will join their friend."

Three of the students looked at Owl defiantly.

They would never sell out their school, their home, their family.

The fourth student on the other hand…now you really couldn't blame her for what she did next. She was the youngest after all and had only been with hive for less than a year.

Her hand shot up.

Owl smiled as he shot the other three.

The girl held on to one of her classmates as he died.

""Where is the headmistress hiding?" he said with his sword drawn.

She told him…she told him everything.

"Good girl."

"You really want to know what I did to her." Owl asked, "I simply showed her what she really was. It's not my fault she didn't like what she saw."

Before Kid Flash could say anything else Argent's voice could be heard behind the door.

"WHAT!"

Argent bashed through the door of the room.

Her arms of red energy wrapped around Owl's neck.

"If they die." She yelled, "You die!"

"Whoa! What's going on?" Speedy said as he ran into the room.

"Robin just called," Argent said as Kole tried in vain to calm her down, "They got a package with the twin's fingers in them."

"WHAT!" Pantha growled, "Argent! Break his neck."

"With pleasure." Argent said.

"Stop it!" Speedy yelled trying to gain control of the situation, "If you kill him then the twins are as good as dead."

Argent grunted but she knew Speedy was right.

As she let go, Jericho jumped back into Owl.

"Ok look." Speedy said, "Let's all take a deep breath. We need a plan."

"Um," Jericho/Owl said as the titans calmed down, "I have an Idea. But you're going to have to let me out of these chains."
