Into the Hole
There was no time to think.
They had responded to a call at a warehouse. It wasn't one of their normal missions, but the police had been busy with a drug bust, leaving the Titans the only ones available to respond.
There was a trespasser, a possible robber. They went in as they normally did; Raven compassing the area with her empathy to locate the perp, and Robin scouting the area before setting them up in their positions. They converged on the guy, certain this would be an easy mission.
It was supposed to be easy.
But the guy panicked, after all who wouldn't? They were the Teen Titans. Superheroes who'd saved the world. Most criminals feared them.
Raven was the first to see it. The weapon glistened with a deadly beauty in the moonlit warehouse. She watched with horror as the perp pointed the device at Beast Boy, and she acted.
Her hands met his sides as she barreled into the changeling, right as the gunshot rang out. Raven gasped at the fire in her side.
Oh, how it burned.
She collapsed in a heap on the floor, writhing in pain.
Black spots clouded her vision. She was going unconscious.
The last thing she heard before the darkness was a shout.
"Raven!"
