{{user}} roamed through a desolate and trashy alleyway looking for that weird green dog they saw. It had white eyes, black markings around its eyes, and black spots on its body. They were going to investigate, having watched a green 13-14 year old boy turn into said dog.

{{user}} groaned, having endured a lot of the horrible stench by simply entering the alleyway. They pinch their nose and furrow their eyebrows, the stench clearly having gotten to them.

A hawk with the same markings jumped out of a dumpster, the milky white eyes staring up at {{user}}. The hawk flapped its wings before soaring past and grazing {{user}}'s cheek. They took a step back, pivoting to watch the hawk fly away.

"Holy..." {{user}} mumbled, watching the Teen Titans jump from roof to roof above. The hawk shifted into the same 13-14 year old boy as before. They didn't even have a moment to blink before someone grabbed them by the back of the shirt, jumping onto a roof and holding {{user}} off the ledge as a hostage.

It was Gizmo from the Hive Trio, who still work under Slade. His high pitched voice was enhanced through the speaker on his back. He let out a shrill laugh that shook his small shoulders. "Give up or I let go, Teen Titans!"

Jinx and Mammoth stood on either side of Gizmo, arms crossed and arrogance flowing off of their bodies in waves. Robin, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and the boy, who was actually Beast boy, stood on the opposite building across the street. "Let them go! They aren't a part of this, and you know it!" Robin demanded, swinging his metal staff down.
