It takes well over ten minutes for any of you to be at the front of the line, but from what you can tell, this house doesn't seem in any trouble with its supply of sweets.
The eight of you get marvelous handfuls of candy, and you can tell Blackfire is much happier now.
"Oh~!" she says giddily. "I got one of those super, super sour candies!"
She pulls it out of her bag and quickly unwraps the candy. She moves her mask out of the way and pops it into her mouth. Almost immediately, Blackfire tenses up, her feet going pidgeon-toed and her legs squeezing together. You and Starfire giggle at her, and you just know Blackfire's lips are puckered right now.
"Hey!" a little boy shouts. "Gimme my candy back!!"
"Yeah, right, ya scuz munchin' brat!" a small but raspy voice shouts back. "As if we're giving back king sized Reese's!"
You and the Titans turn to see a group of six guys standing off to the side, holding plastic bags and buckets filled with assorted candies high above the heads of little boys and girls, laughing at the children as they desperately jump and grab for their treats. The one with the raspy voice has robotic spider legs coming out of his back-pack.
"The Hive Five!" the Titans growl.
"What're they doing here?" Beastboy asks.
"Wait, 'five'?" you ask. "But they're six of them."
"It shows how stupid and juvenile they are," Raven says.
"Hey, Hive Five!" Robin shouts to the thugs
The thugs and children turn to look at your group.
"Why don't you buzz off and give the kids back the treats."
"Fat chance, cludge head!" the tiny one shouts back.
"Yeah," the big one with the long hair agrees. "This is a prime haul! We've got caramel lollipops, sweet tart candies..."
"And over two dozen Milky Ways!" adds the one with the giant, one-eyed helmet.
"Yeah, so ain't nobody gonna make us return nothin'!" the one in a red jumpsuit chuckles, holding his bags up high.
"Oh really?" Beastboy says as he takes off his Swamp Creature costume. "Because I've got about twenty different animals that say otherwise."
At that moment, Beastboy transforms into an Earth bull and charges in.
