Chapter 4: New Mission pt 2

The fire chief ran over to the Titans and shook hands with Nightwing.

"Thanks for coming." said the fire chief, Nightwing smiled and replied, " No thanks needed we are happy to help."

The chief nodded his appreciation and left so the Titans to conduct a game plan to extinguish the burning black flames, the Titans huddled together to discuss strategy,Raven stood in between Starfire and Garfield,Starfire stood beside Cyborg on his left,Cyborg stood beside Nightwing on his right and Garfield at his left so Raven stood in front of Nightwing in the huddle.

" Okay team we have a situation we must first extinguish these flames and then do a through sweep of the area to see if we can find survivors." stated Nightwing in his authoritative voice, the team nodded so Nightwing continued, " Raven." said Nightwing Raven looked at Nightwing upon hear name, " Yes." answered Raven.

" You and Starfire will extinguish the flames." said Nightwing.

Raven looked at Nightwing with a incredulous look upon seeing the look the former boy wonder went on to explain his plan on how the two super heroines were going to disperse the dark flames.

" You two are going to combine your powers and send a giant wave of your energies toward the fire if my calculations are correct the combinations of your two powers will neutralize the flames and disperse them quickly than just using your power alone Raven." said Nightwing to the dark sorceress, " That just might work."stated Raven who nodded her recognition of the plan, The Titans broke the huddle to exempt their plan to snuff out the black flames.

Raven stood at the entrance of the slums that had a broken stop sign that was leaning slightly to the left

Starfire stood a couple of feet next to her on the empathic sorcerers left.

Raven looked over at Starfire and nodded her head Starfire nodded hers and her eyes glowed emerald and her fist was wrapped in her green starbolts as Raven's eyes glowed white.

Her fists were wrapped in black energy and out toward her sides flowing wildly as she called out her mantra, " Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven then thrusts her arms forward releasing the black energy that twisted into one giant beam.

As soon as she did Starfire thrust her arms forward releasing a giant beam of her power that converged with Raven's making a beam of twisting black and green energies.

The blast collided with the flames which caused them to create a chain reaction extinguishing all the flames that engulfed the slums.

Raven and Starfire fell to the ground exhausted from the amount of power they used to extinguish all the flames in the slums.

Nightwing, Cyborg,and Garfield ran over to the girls Garfield helped Raven up as Nightwing helped Starfire.

" Good job you two." said Nightwing with a genuine smile gracing his usually stoic features.

Raven nodded her appreciation and Starfire gave him one of her patent death hugs, " Thank you friend Nightwing for your praise of a job well done." the close proximity of their bodies caused the leader of the Titans to blush madly both from embarrassment and loosing the ability to breath.

"O..Okay Star you can let me go now." stuttered Nightwing as he felt eyes were looking at the public display of affection, Starfire let Nightwing go and he took in a deep breath and calmed his rapidly beating heart down.

"Okay team." said Nightwing a two minutes later after getting his nerves and heart to calm down, " spread out and search for any survivors who may still be alive and the critically injured if you do find anyone radio in so we can take them to get medical attention and also any clues you find that may lead us to the culprit of this arson. Changeling you'll take the North, Raven you'll search the East, Cyborg you take the West, and me and Starfire will take the South side if any of us find anything contact us on the communicator."

Everyone nodded their understanding of their leaders order, Nightwing smiled knowing that his team will follow his instructions and with a glimmer of pride in his tone let out his signature line.

" Titans Go!"

The Titans broke apart in search for clues Garfield took the North side of the slums,Raven took the East side, Cyborg took the West side, and Nightwing and Starfire took the South side.

The North side

Garfield walked around the streets of a severely burnt part of the city as moon light illuminated the destruction the black flames caused, Garfield started to sniff the air around him trying to pick up a scent of survivors or any clues that lead him to the person or people who did this but the smell of burnt steel,wood, and bodies muddled his senses and made it difficult for the changeling to sort through the smells.

' Man all these smells it will take a hell of a lot longer to sort them all out to find the source.' thought Garfield as he continued to search through the North side of the slums.

Garfield stopped in front of a pile of ashes and took a big whiff of the air, his emerald eyes glossed over with determination as the scent hit his nose.

" Blood." said Garfield as he ran off following the scent.

On the West side

Cyborg walked the streets of the decimated slums scorched and charred bodies were spread unceremoniously across the broken and charred pavement, the faint smell of burning flesh wafted its way to the cybernetic males nose making him turn it up in disgust.

' Man it ranks here I hope we find whoever did this quick before more of the city ends up like this.' thought Cyborg as he walked through the slums streets.

As he was walking he stepped in some liquid, " Oh that's not right I will have to clean out my systems now." said Cyborg as he looked at the bottom of his foot but saw a trail of blood that leaded off into the direction he was walking.

Cyborg stared at the trail as a look of determination crossed his human side.

" Time to get to work." said Cyborg as he set his foot down slowly on the ground and proceeded to follow the trail of blood.

On the South side of the slums

Nightwing and Starfire walked down the streets of the south side of the slums. The two heroes passed by burnt abandoned buildings, charred automobiles and corpses. The corpses were scattered across the area of of the slums as if prompting our heroes to step over the charred remains of the residents who each had looks of pure agony etched on their faces Nightwing and Starfire looked at the bodies with pity only imagining what the people felt before having their lives burned away.

Silence settled between the two and Starfire broke it with a simple question that Nightwing desperately wanted the answer for.

" What happened here?"

Nightwing simply shrugged and said, " I don't know but as soon as we find out the sooner we can send whoever did this to jail." Nightwing said this as he turned and looked at Starfire who looked at him with a small smile on her face Nightwing smiled back and continued to walk the streets of the slums.

The pair happened across a trail of blood that lead of into the distance.

Nightwing and Starfire stopped and looked at each other

" Nightwing should we follow this trail of blood." asked Starfire, Nightwing nodded and responded, " If this can help us track down clues to who did this then as our duties as this city's protectors it's our job too."

Starfire nodded pleased with the answer and her and Nightwing followed the trail of blood.

On the East side of the slums

Raven floated three stories over the streets of the slums trying to get a birds eye view of the damage on the East side like the other parts only a few building were burnt and the pavement was black with soot, Raven floated gracefully back down to the ground, as her feet touched the ground a blood curdling scream echoed through her mind causing the dark empath to fall to her knees holding her head in pain.

' Someones soul is being tormented.' thought Raven as the pain seemed to worsen with each passing second.

After a few minuets Raven stood up and looked around seeing the breaking of dawn fall over the horizon Raven's eyes turned white as she tried to get a lock on the tormented soul.

Gradually Raven's eyes returned to their amethyst color and the empath waved her hand in front of her and a black portal opened Raven stepped in and the portal closed.

At the center of town

Raven stepped out of the black portal and was looking at a crate that had the lid placed firmly on top, just then Garfield appeared from the North, Cyborg from the East and Nightwing and Starfire from the South all five Titans stared at the crate and each other.

Raven asked, " So you guys are here cause?"

Nighttime long since forgotten as the sun broke free from the east putting a end of the night and bringing forth a brand new day.

Nightwing, Garfield, Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire lifted the lid up and off the crate. Once the lid was off all five Titans backed away from the crate as a rancid smell of garbage and rotten corpses entered their nasal passages.

Garfield walked to the crate and his eyes widen in shock at what he saw.

" Guy's you might want to come see this."said Garfield shock registering in his voice and face.

The rest of the Titans stepped forward and the only thing they saw was the decapitated head of Kitten staring at them with lifeless and soulless eyes that are frozen in fear and pain.

The different reactions of the Titans were Raven's face was void of emotions as were Garfield's and Cyborg's, Starfire was on the brink of tears but was using all of her will power to hold them back and Nightwing stared at the head of Kitten with a look of pure disgust, disgust for the fact that he hadn't apprehended her and for the fact that she was killed in such a brutal fashion and was left to rot with garbage.

Nightwing looked up at the Titans and he said his voice void of emotions that contradict the emotions playing in his body language.

" Raven let's get back to the tower and try to look for clues on who did this."

Raven nodded and wrapped herself and the Titans in a black vortex teleporting them to the tower.

In the Sky

Aos stood floating in the sky close enough to see and hear their conversations but far away enough so he wasn't spotted.

A small smirk played on his lips as he said, " So this place won't be boring after all I might have some fun with these five." Aos said as he vanished into a flare of flames.
