"Gone? What do you mean she's gone?"

"What, you got crud in your ears or something? She left. She crumming left!"

"Maybe she had to get more girl stuff, or somethin'."

Kyd Wykkyd placed a simple piece of paper on the table that they all sat around. Written in hot pink letters were the words: 'Sorry, it just wasn't working out.'

"She probably just high tailed it and went to saddle up with them Brotherhood o' Evil folks!" Billy Numerous pointed out, his clones nodding in agreement.

"No way! I tried calling in to those skuzz brains and all they said was that Jinx would never be one of them before they disconnected on me!"

"But then where would she go?" Mammoth pressed, his large hands clenching and un-clenching.

"Don't ask me!" Gizmo said in a huff, folding his arms.

Kyd Wykkyd merely shrugged while the Billy's all collectively scratched their heads and stroked their chins.

Finally, all at once, the HIVE Five turned to their last member and a voice that did not belong to any of them asked: Well, See-More, did you see anything?

See-More woke up with a gasp.

"Ah, See-More, good to see you are finally awake," Fixit greeted.

 See-More immediately tried to see where Fixit was, but through one side of his head he could only see a wall while the other side only revealed pitch blackness.

"Fixit? Where are we?"

"To my knowledge, we are still in the catacombs of the Tamaranian dungeon. The Titans bound us and placed us in what appears to be an interrogation room."

"Ah, man! They aren't gonna leave us here, are they?"

"I do not know. While I no longer have the power required to read their minds from this distance, I can still sense that they are outside."

"What do you think they are doin'?"

"Deciding what to do with us."

See-More fell silent at that. He could still remember what Raven said to him when she caught him in her room. He was just a bad guy to her. They don't free bad guys or help them escape. They lock away back guys and leave them to rot.

"Fixit, we gotta find a way outta here."

"I am aware of that. However, I'm afraid there is nothing more that I can do. You, on the other hand, have everything you need at your disposal."

"Me? But my eye is all smashed up and broken!"

"I would advise you to keep your voice down. You are not broken, See-More. Although it may be hard to tell in this darkness, I have managed to repair you to near full capacity while we have been bound here."

"What? But, how? You don't have any arms."

"No, but neither do I have blood. That does not mean I do not bleed when I am damaged. My insides are compromised of microscopic, symbiotic robots whose main function is to repair me should I sustain penetrating injuries to my body. I have reprogrammed them to repair you instead."

"Whoa. Hey, but, wait, what about you then?"

"I will die--"

"What! Wait, no, you can't die!"

There was a sound of steps coming from outside the dark room.

"Silence, See-More. I will die without them, so I have also manually begun downloading myself into you."

"Uh. Could you say that again?"

"There is a cord from the base of my skull that I have synced to the components that make up your eye hard ware. I am gradually having my conscious programmed into it."

"Um, but, will I still be me after you do that?"

"You will not even know I am there unless I deem it necessary."

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

"There is no time to explain. I am already near completion. I was hoping you would not wake so we could have avoided this conversa--"

Fixit then fell silent just as something very painfully left the back of See-More's head. The thief barely let out a cry of pain before the door flew open and very bright lights filled the small room.

"I thought I said to keep quiet," Raven hissed as she and Beastboy stepped into the room. 

See-More could see now that he was facing one of the bright white walls and quickly switched his eye to x-ray. At once, he was amazed at how clear everything was. Usually his x-ray vision just made everything appear black and white and grid like, but he could literally see through things now.

He peered through Fixit's head and he could see all the circuitry, all the mechanics that made up his partner's brain. See-More looked further and he could look at all the micro organisms that resided in that circuitry.

Whoa.

"Uh, is he sleeping?" Beastboy questioned, quickly reminding the thief of the two Titans that stood in the room. 

He forced his vision to peer past the inner workings of Fixit so that he could see the Titans, just as clearly as if he were standing right in front of them. Suddenly, small targeting icons appeared over both Raven and Beastboy's faces. Off to the side of See-More's field of vision, the two Titan's faces reappeared with lines of text materializing with them. Upon closer inspection, See-More could read the text which detailed the two Titans. Their powers, their strengths and their weaknesses.

Whoaaaaa.

See-More couldn't remember his eye ever being able to do this much. Was this part of what Fixit did when he repaired him?

Raven raised one of her hands, a familiar black energy coating the entirety of her appendage. Almost instantly, the targeting icon captured the energy and relayed a very red warning text: 'Caution: Avoid At All Costs.'

Ah, man! What do I do!? See-More thought to himself. 

Immediately another line of text replaced the previous one, still in red: 'Recommended Course of Action: Bubble Imprisonment'

That would be a good idea if I wasn't bound and if Fixit wasn't in the way.

"Fixit? Answer me now, I will not ask twice." Raven warned as she raised her energized hand and, as See-More desperately tried to figure out what to do next, a third line of red text appeared.

'Caution: Fixit model 3040 has Entered Self Destruct.'

See-More could suddenly feel something very hot against his body, something coming from Fixit.

"Whoa, hey, Fixit! Don't explode on me, man!" See-More called out as his vision switched back to normal.

"Rae! The other dude is awake!" Beastboy pointed out.

"You guys might wanna get away!" See-More offered before blackness suddenly encased his body and he was in the air, facing the two Titans.

"Seriously, man! We should get outta here!"

"We are going nowhere until you answer a few questions for me," Raven hissed.

'Recommended Course of Action: Shield of Body.'

See-More agreed with whatever was making these suggestions appear in his vision, but Raven had his arms pinned to his body, and she didn't seem ready to release him before Fixit's body went boom. 

In response, yet another line of text appeared: 'Allow Remote Access: YES or NO'

"Umm," See-More muttered.

"Why did you capture me?" Raven questioned, bringing See-More closer to her and Beastboy.

"Um."

"Why are we in Tamaran?"

"Uh."

"What is Blackfire after?"

"Yes?"

'Remote Access Allowed...Fixit has gained control.'

Suddenly See-More's eye switched gazes on its own, faster than See-More could ever switch them, before stopping on a dime onto...

'Lens2160: Laser.'

The line of text appeared for less than a second, but as soon as it was gone a red beam of light fired from See-More's eye with the force and speed to rival the bullet from a gun. It hit Raven squarely in the chest, sending the young Titan flailing to the ground-- the blackness disappearing from See-More's body.

The gazes changed again, moving a mile a minute as See-More landed to the ground.

"Raven!" Beastboy cried before turning to launch an attack at See-More.

'Lens4128: Hypnotize.'

Before Beastboy had time to turn into one of his animals, a single shared glance with See-More had him on the floor-- fast asleep. See-More did not even have time to understand what just went down before the lenses shifted again.

'Lens3444: Shield of Body.'

"Oh, crap, Fixit!" See-More remembered as he turned to face his partner's body. 

Just as he did, there was a sudden, immense explosion. See-More watched the fire rapidly approaching him just as a light blue light filled his vision. While the flames did little against his now shielded body, the force of the blast still knocked him off his feet and threw him through the air. 

See-More felt himself hit something rather soft before finally flying out the door of the room and against the wall in the hallway outside.

While he felt the wall when he made impact, he felt no pain. He could watch the sleeping Beastboy propel out the room, Fixit's body disappearing in the fiery explosion, and the entirety of the room collapsing in on itself without missing a second of it.

Whoa.

See-More got up slowly. His hands fell over that same soft object he had hit earlier and, looking down, he saw Raven lying under him, clearly knocked unconscious. Looking further down the hallway, he could see Beastboy, still asleep, the same targeting icon went over both the Titan's faces as he looked at them, indicating both of them as little to no threat.

"Aw, man, I just took out two Titans! If only the guys were here to see this!" See-More called out as he stood up. 

Just then, another flash of red text appeared in his vision: 'Remote Access Disabled.'

"Oh, yeah, couldn't of done all that without ya, Fixit!" See-More admitted, patting his eye-ware. 

Silence followed. See-More was not used to not hearing a stoic and logical response and he couldn't help but look over to the now rubble of a room that Fixit's body disappeared into.

"Sorry 'bout your body, man."

'Recommended Course of Action: Escape.'

"Oh, right. I guess we should be getting out of here and find Kyd."

Yet, before See-More could do anything further, the sound of footsteps could be heard echoing through the hallway-- slow yet determined.

"Well, well, what have we here?" a familiar voice questioned. See-More knew this voice, only it was never so clear.

The thief turned and the targeting icon immediately went over the Tameranian's orange face. Large warning icons immediately flashed big and red as the name 'Blackfire' appeared over and over again.

"Oh. crap."

"See-more, I must say, I am impressed," Blackfire said with a smile as her eyes went over the two fallen Titans. "Beastboy and Raven? I didn't think you had it in you."

"Well, what can I say? Uh, I'm full of surprises?" See-More suggested, rubbing his head sheepishly.

'Recommended Course of Action: Run.'

See-More felt his stomach drop when that line of text appeared. Did Fixit really believe there was no other option? 

Blackfire's smile only widened. "Something tells me there is more to it than that." She looked around the hallway. "Now, where are our little partners in crime? Don't tell me you all couldn't get along, after everything we've been through?"

"Well, you know bad guys. Can't ever really trust em, you know."

"Oh, I do indeed."

Blackfire took a step towards him. See-More immediately took a step back.

"You wouldn't have happened to see where they went, See-More?" Blackfire asked as she continued to advance on him, all the while See-More continued to step backwards.

"Er, no, this place is like a maze, you know--"

"But you could find them, couldn't you? I'm sure one of those pretty eyes of yours has a way of finding them."

"H-Hey, Blackfire, what about the plan? W-We should be trying to bust you out of here, remember?"

See-More knew that this entire mission could have been a set-up. That Blackfire planned to have them captured as soon as they arrived on her planet, but he hoped against hope that maybe this wasn't true. 

Blackfire never lost her smile. That was never a good sign.

"I'm afraid there has been a change in plans."

And See-More saw it. Through all the warning texts, the targeting icons, the list of her bio, he could see straight through those large purple eyes. He could see the pride, the assurance of her position in their situation. But, even further, he could see her plan, her wish to be something more, to gain his approval.

Just then, Blackfire's eyes glanced at something behind See-More, something that could have been missed if See-More blinked, but See-More never blinks.

'Allow Remote Access: YES or NO?'

"Yes!" See-More cried, and his eye immediately turned so it was at the back of his head. His lenses shifted on their own, all targeting the very large man that had been standing behind him. The desired lens was found as large hands reached down to grab him.

'Lens777: Eye Ball'

A large, and very heavy, eye shaped object then shot out like a cannon from See-More's eye and, while it hit the large man squarely in the stomach, he only let out a very angry grunt.

"Oh--"

See-More lept out of the way as the alien slammed his fists into the ground where the thief had been standing, the impact shaking the entirety of the hallway.

"You will not escape!" Blackfire declared. 

See-More looked over to see Blackfire flying like a rocket towards him.

"Oh, man!"

The lenses began shifting on their own again, but See-More knew they wouldn't move fast enough.

"Azeroth Metrion Zinthos!"

A black energy  took hold of Blackfire, stopping her inches from See-More, just as the thief's lenses found their desired one.

'Lens612: Bubble Imprisonment'

"Oh no you don't!" Blackfire shouted. Using her free arm, she  fired a purple energy blast from her hand, catching See-More off guard as it hit him and sent him sailing down the hall floor, right at the feet of the very large Tamaranian.

"Hello again," See-More greeted with a sheepish smile. The large alien only lowered one, all encompassing hand.

See-More gripped the dial on the side of his head and fired the lens that Fixit had previously picked. The bubble flew out, capturing the entirety of his attacker's hand and bringing it up until it touched the ceiling. The alien let out a sudden roar of fury and, with a show of immense strength, brought down his hand, prison ball and all, to smash into See-More.

"Oh crap oh crap!"

See-More slammed down on his dial again, forcing yet another prison bubble to shoot out, making contact with the bubble that was fixing to crush See-More. The impact was quiet, yet devastating. The two bubbles simply bounced off one another, sending the one with the large alien's hand sailing back down the hallway, taking the large alien with it, while the other went down the opposite way, right into a certain empath.

As the bubble captured its prisoner, the black energy that had Blackfire trapped dissipated. See-More got up as slowly as he could, but when he finally did he could see Blackfire still hovering, looking directly at him, smile still on her face.

"Looks like it's just you and m--"

But before she could finish a green ram  slammed its head into Blackfire's backside, sending the alien princess face down into the ground.

"Aw, yeah, whose the ram!?" Beastboy called out, striking a pose.

"You tha ram!" See-More returned.

"You are going to pay for that," Blackfire swore as she stood back up, eyes and hands glowing a deadly purple.

"With what mone--?" Beastboy tried to ask, but he was interrupted by a bolt of purple energy sailing past his head. "Hah! Starfire's a much better shot than you!"

"Shut-up about my sister!" Blackfire roared, hurtling more bolts of energy at the Titan who, in turn, transformed into a small green humming bird and proceeded to fly around the energy bolts with ease.

"Don't think you can avoid me forever!" Blackfire hissed.

A red hot laser struck her in the back, causing the princess to stumble a few steps. Catching her footing, Blackfire turned her fierce purple eyes to the optical thief whose lens was still steaming from the recent blast.

"I don't think he has to," See-More suggested, hand still on his dial.

"Why you--" Blackfire was again interrupted when a kangaroo of the green variety  appeared behind her and sent a well placed kick on her back, throwing her to the ground again.

"Aw, yeah! Whose the roo!?" Beastboy called, this time looking over at See-More.

"You tha roo!" See-More supplied, striking his own pose this time.

"Alright, fine. If that's the game you want to play." Blackfire breathed low  before bringing her wrist up to her mouth, a strange alien device attached to it. "Oh, Number 36, would you be so kind and help me? The Titans and your little friend seem to have me in quite a bind."

There was no response from the communicator, but Blackfire had a victorious smile on her face nonetheless. See-More and Beastboy traded a look, but just as he did, See-More noticed a dark figure appear behind the Titan.

"Uh, green guy?"

Beastboy barely managed to turn around before the shadowed figure sent a blow to the back of his head, sending the small green Titan to the ground. He didn't get back up. 

With Beastboy out of the way, light finally fell on to the figure that attacked him, revealing a very familiar face covered by a hood and a long black cape.

"Kyd!" See-More called with a wave and a smile. "Hey, man, you don't need to attack the Titans! They're actually help--"

See-More stopped however as a targeting icon fell over Kyd Wykkyd's face. Warning signals flashed immediately as the HIVE member regarded See-More with a cocked head.

"Kyd?" See-More began, but then Kyd Wykkyd pulled the cape around him and vanished. 

See-More took a step back. He looked over to Blackfire, expecting Kyd to target her next. Instead, See-More's lens moved on its own, twisting to the back of his head, where he could see Kyd Wykkyd about to strike him.

"Fixit, wait, stop!" See-More called out, causing Kyd Wykkyd to pause and then jump away as a red laser shot out from See-More's eye. "What are you doing?! Kyd's our partner!"

The red warning texts only continued to flash in See-More's eye as the targeting icon kept its focus on Kyd Wykkyd's face. Without warning, the laser shot again. This time Kyd Wykkyd used his cape to vanish, the blast hitting the wall with a loud explosion.

"Fixit! Stop it!" See-More demanded.

"Don't you get it yet?" Blackfire asked, now standing up right, one glowing hand pointed at See-More. "You dear comrade is after you."

Blackfire then sent out a blast of purple energy that See-More was forced to leap away from. His vision was thrown off when his lens started to rotate on its own again and he slammed right into the wall.

"Ow!" See-More moaned, rubbing his elbow. His lenses finally stopped and Kyd Wykkyd was standing in his vision again, fist held back.

"Kyd?" See-More asked, looking into Kyd Wykkyd's red eyes. 

At first he saw nothing but red. Then there was a flash of emotion, and Kyd Wykkyd paused again in his attack. 

"Kyd Wykkyd, why are you-?"

See-More was cut off as a  ball erupted from his eye. Kyd Wykkyd was quick enough to avoid it hitting him, but when the ball made contact with the wall it exploded, shooting a wave of primal force outward that threw the two HIVE members off their feet.

Even as See-More was falling, his lenses were already shifting again at hyper speed. The blur of images and colors was beginning to make him dizzy. When the lens stopped, See-More was on the ground but he was looking down the hallway. He could see Kyd Wykkyd, attempting to get back up. Blackfire, readying to shoot at him again now that Kyd was out of the way. The useless and still unconscious Beastboy. And Raven, meditating in the prison bubble she was still trapped in. 

The targeting icon went over the latter empath's face and See-More made quick note on which lens Fixit had picked out.

'Recommended Course of Action: Release Raven.'

"Aw, man. I hope you know what you're doing," See-More grumbled, though he didn't bother to get up. Even with Fixit's help, he wasn't too confident he could take on both Blackfire and Kyd Wykkyd.

But why?

With a sigh, See-More looked over to Kyd. The two partners in crime shared a glance that lasted only a moment.

"Sorry, man."

See-More then pressed once on the dial and all the prison bubbles returned back to the owner, the one from Raven and the other from...

"You will not save yourself this time, little one," a gruff and angry voice bellowed.

See-More turned his head slightly, so that he could see the giant alien, both hands gripped in what looked like one boulder sized fist. The fist was brought down just as Raven woke up from her trance.

"Enough of this," Raven muttered before standing. Still floating, she cried out her mantra, "Azeroth Metrion Zinthos!"

And, before either Tamaranian could launch their attack, before Kyd Wykkyd could try and escape, and long before Beastboy would awaken, the entire hallway, and its occupants, were consumed by blackness.
