I know. I am sorry this isn't the Russian Convit. But I just am taking a little while to write it and wanted to add this in too! It won't be more than like 5 or 8 chapters. I hope...just a short little dinky thing!

Please review!

Wing walked down the hall to the Raven's training room that day. He'd just finished a rather long class period with Ms. Leon and was ready to train with Raven.

The other kids were walking swiftly to their classes as he stopped outside the door. He grabbed the handle, surprised to find that it was locked. He knocked and waited a few seconds, but there was no sound on the other side of the door.

"Mr. Fanchu." came a voice behind him and he turned to the Colonel.

"Raven is not able to be here today." the man said "You are coming to my class for a fill in period today."

Wing frowned slightly, but didn't argue as he went to follow the teacher.

"Has something happened?" he asked, sounding slightly concerned.

"We don't know yet." the Colonel replied, walking slightly ahead as if he really didn't want to talk. But that only increased Wing's worry.

"Is she off-island with Dr. Nero?" he asked.

"No. She is here." the Colonel replied.

Wing scowled, but he didn't ask anything else, as he knew he wouldn't receive full answers. The Colonel led him down to his classroom and right into it.

Later that day, after waiting through that class period as well, he walked down to the cafeteria. Shelby and Laura were waiting outside it, looking irritated and puzzled.

"There you are." Shelby said, punching the side of his arm "Where did you and Raven get off too? We waited at her place."

"Raven wasn't in today." Wing explained.

"Is she out with Dr. Nero again? They probably had a meeting with G.L.O.V.E. or something." Shelby concluded.

Wing shook his head "No she's on the island. The Colonel told me, but he won't tell me anything else."

The girls frowned at the exact same time.

"Well what does he mean?" Shelby asked.

"She's probably just working on something and can't stop." Laura replied "Come on let's go eat lunch."

Three days later…

The students once again walked to lunch, having to wait for Wing to show from the Colonel's substitute class. There still was no sign of Raven and they hadn't seen Nero much either. He had the Professor step in for some of his classes occasionally, which had never happened before unless he was off-island.

"You know, I'm starting to wonder if Raven was captured and the Colonel just told you she was fine to reassure you." Laura said, as they walked to their lunch table "Because this is weird. We usually know because they rearrange your schedule Wing, until Raven gets back."

Wing shrugged as he sat down at the crowded table "I have no idea. But the circumstances are rather odd."

"We need to ask Dr. Nero." Shelby said "I need to know. And we're not getting here as early as we used to because Wing has to walk clear around. We hardly get seats every day."

"I'm worried because the Colonel wouldn't tell me." Wing said.

"Hey, Shel, speak of the devil, there he is." Laura said, nodding behind them.

Shelby and Wing turned. Nero walked into the lunchroom and over to the teachers table. He said a few quick words to them and the Colonel, Professor Pike, and Ms. Leon stood up to go with him.

"Here's our chance." Shelby said, standing. The other two got up as well as she ran over.

"Dr. Nero!" she called and he glanced back before walking over.

"Yes, Miss Trinity?" he queried.

"We were just wondering if we could have a word." she said as the other two came up beside her "About Raven."

"I was just about to come and invite Mr. Fanchu to my office for an explanation." Nero said.

"Well can Laura and I come?" Shelby asked "We've been worried too you know."

"No, I'm afraid you cannot." Nero replied "I do not want a word of this to be passed around the school."

"But you're letting Wing come." Laura said, looking rather indignant.

"We won't say anything." Shelby said eagerly.

Nero narrowed his eyes slightly and they both avoided his gaze for a moment.

"Very well." he said with a slight sigh and they looked up in surprise.

"Follow me." Nero said, turning to walk back over to the other staff members.

The shocked students slowly followed.

"Gee he sounds stressed." Shelby muttered. Wing didn't say anything, but his eyes looked worried.

They walked down the hall with the staff and followed Nero to his office. As he opened the door and let them in, they noticed that Darkdoom was there too. But he clearly knew no more than the rest of them because he looked just as confused. He was seated in one of the multiple chairs in the room.

"Please take a seat." Nero said, walking over to his desk.

Shelby walked over to Darkdoom and shrugged questioningly. He just shook his head.

Nero typed something into his computer before going around to stand in front of his desk.

"I know you've all been wondering about Raven this past week." he began slowly "And I am thankful for everyone's concern."

Shelby and Laura glanced at each other, eyes nervous.

There was silence for a moment before Nero spoke again.

"You might as well know that Raven's legs have been paralyzed." he said.

Darkdoom's jaw dropped and there was a unanimous gasp. Wing stared at him, eyes big, which was a rare thing to see.

"We haven't told her yet." Nero went on, looking very solemn and serious "And I don't know how we're going too."

"How?" Professor Pike asked, looking very concerned.

"She was shot. The bullet hit the lower part of her spine." Nero replied.

"She doesn't know?" Darkdoom asked, looking troubled.

Nero slowly shook his head with an inward sigh.

"Can we see her?" Wing asked and Shelby nodded.

"As much kindness as you mean Mr. Fanchu, she has asked me not to allow visitors." Nero replied.
