Back by popular demand, I have gotten a few messages and a few friends tell me that there needs to be a sequel so, ladies and bros, here it is! The sequel to Fear of Nothing. Enjoy.
Angel, Night and Jackie roamed into the city with a nervous feeling. They heard of a maximum security prison hidden from the world in this city. They were no longer in the well protected Jump City, although it was only hours away.
Jackie stopped walking in an alley behind a gas station, "Here. It's here." She said and blinked away her power.
"Are you sure?" Angel asked.
She nodded, "It's right below us now."
Night found a manhole cover and opened it.
They jumped down and followed Jackie again. Eventually they came across a part where the city water flowed down into the purification. But that's not all that was there.
There was a room, it couldn't be less than 10 stories high and longer than 4 football fields. There were many floors of cells and a courtyard looking area on the first floor.
"This is not good." Angel breathed.
Jackie held onto Night's arm like a scared little sister would to her older brother.
"Are we really going down there alone?" Night asked, even he was freaked out by this.
Angel dug in her pocket and pulled out a Teen Titan communicator. Robin had given to them before they left, "Not alone." She looked down again and saw the crowd of prisoners and a group of guards. They must be having a brawl, a fight to the death between the prisoners, she shook her head and looked to her small bit of family, "Let's get out of here and set up a safe house close by. We will contact help and then we will make a plan."
Zaniel stood along the wall of the first floor. The Institute was having another brawl, apparently there was a bit of over population and some of them needed to go. They put 2 or 3 prisoners in the arena and who ever came out on top would live to fight another day, the others were not so lucky.
The last fight ended and he was pushed into the arena with a man that was much bigger than him. Zaniel was a big guy, enough that people thought twice before approaching him but this man was like a tower but he didn't even feel stressed. He felt the pain in his heart knowing what he had to do to him. hopefully he could make it quick.
The fight began and his opponent's arms turned to steal. He pounded his hands on the floor and it left dents in the floor.
Zaniel sighed, he hated this part. His opponent launched at him with the intention to smash him. With one swift motion he dodged the attack and snapped his neck.
"I'm sorry…" he whispered to the man he killed.
There was a loud slow clapping approaching the arena, "Bravo." The sharp voice made ever voice in the room stop and sent chills up Zaniel's spine.
Dr. Glass stood in front of him with a smile, "It's been too long."
He said nothing, he merely stood at attention with his head lowered to the ground, like a proper soldier.
It had been months since he had been here; it was nerve-racking to see him now.
"I'm glad I got back in time to see your fight. I want you to come with me. I have something special in mind for you." There was an evil smile in his tone. He turned and started walking, expecting him to follow.
Zaniel grit his teeth but he followed obediently. He hated this man with a burning passion but he wanted to stay alive more.
They went to an office down a hallway and away from all the cells. The door was locked behind him.
"I have heard many good reports about you while I was away. You haven't even gotten a scratch in any brawl you have been in. I am impressed and you have caught my attention," he chuckled.
He froze in place, "Sir, where are you going with this?"
"I'm glad you asked," he kicked the back of his legs and brought him to his knees, "You have been volunteered to go through a little experiment. Take off your shirt and we will begin."
This was it, he thought. The end. With shaking hand he took off his black uniformed shirt to reveal two wing shaped tattoos that went down his back.
Glass took out his pen. The pen that drew these powers on the skin of human beings, that marked them all as his property. The pen drove into the skin on his chest. The tattoo hurt like it did last time but he knew better then to flinch when Glass was near him.
He drew a heart on his chest and the lines continued up to his neck and other lines went down his arms to both of his wrists.
When he was finally down Zaniel felt every nerve in his body burn. Breathing became harder and he felt numb. As much as he tried to keep upright he fell to the ground and passed out. Whatever power this new tattoo came with, his body revolted against it.
Surely death would come and take him tonight.
"Take him back to his cell, don't worry he will make it out." was the last thing he heard before blacking out.
There was an old abandon apartment building close by to the sight and that is where they set up. What little they had they spread out and made it as homely as possible.
Angel took the first watch during the night. She leaned against the wall with a light blanket across her legs. The communicator sat beside her and she looked at it long and hard. She knew she had to call them for help about this. There was no way they could do this alone, not this time. There were a few other stations they hit in the past and freed a bunch of people like them, but they were small little stations, this was like a maximum security prison, it was like trying to break into the National Treasury! Impossible! At least not with just the three of them, the Titans were smart and knew what they were doing more than they did.
When they worked with them it felt like they were taking care of them, she had almost died and they saved her each time. She didn't feel like the leader of her family, more like a burden that everyone carries.
There was no choice though, Angel picked up the communicator and swallowed her pride, this wasn't about her, it was about those hundreds of people down there needing out.
She flipped it open and called.
Robin answered, "Angel? Is that you? Your timing is outrageous."
She nodded, "My timing? What are you talking about?" she felt confused.
He sighed, "We were going to wait until the morning to contact you about this, but…" he paused, "Dr. Glass has escaped."
Her heart sank and she almost dropped the devise. It had been a couple of months since he was locked up, she had hoped he would have waited longer. After a long breath, "How, convenient… I think I know where he is."
It looked like Robin's spirits lifted a little, "Where?"
