"You unsavoury little runt!" Raven yelled, pushing Slade away as they landed on the cold stone floor of the base. Terra landed lightly beside Slade, glaring reproachfully at Raven. She threw back the cloak and reached for a small metal cane that was strapped to her toned leg. She drew it out and held it above her head. Slade backed away, glaring at her.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Wouldn't I?" She extended the pole and slammed the end into the ground. Strange bolts of violent purple lighting struck the floor near Slade, leaning the stone singed.
"Terra." Slade said calmly. The blonde pulled a black leather glove with a metal plate across the back onto her small hand and ran forward. Raven stepped aside easily and put out her foot. Terra tripped and rolled across the floor. She lay for a moment before leaping up and running forward.
Raven rolled her eyes and ducked the punch Terra sent at her. She slammed her shoulder into Terra's stomach and rolled her over her own back. She threw Terra from her back and grabbed the metal bar which had fallen from her hands.
Terra struggled to her feet and ran forward, grinding to a halt. The tip of the metal bar was right up against her neck. She could feel the warm of Raven's powers radiating from the metal.
"Enough!" Slade yelled suddenly. Terra leapt backward and wrenched the glove off her hand.
"I'm going out..." Raven said, walked to the door way. Slade and Terra flinched away from her as she cast them both deathly glares.

Raven stood on the bay, the waves lapping below her. Fog washed over the city, hiding most of the tower from view. Sea spray mixed with mist blew against her pale skin, making her shiver. The tears on her face were cold against the chilly wind.
Raven backed away from the tower with wide, tear filled eyes. She clutched the shuriken in her hands tightly as she walked.
Raven gasped suddenly as she felt the sharp tip of a blade against the back of her neck. She froze as a hand clapped down on her shoulder. She could feel her heartbeat thumping away. She tried to turn toward the person behind her but she felt the sharp tip of the shuriken against her throat again.
The hand on her shoulder slid down her arm to her hand. It took the shuriken from her grasp to toss it away. The hand moved to her waist and slid across towards the holster on her leg, toward the metal bar.
Raven whipped around, drawing the bar as she did so. Blood flew from her neck but she did not care. She backed away from the figure and extended the bar to its full length. Red X cocked his head at her.
"You really have made a mess of things, you know. You probably would've been better off with Slade..." Raven awoke from her little reverie and lifted the metal bar to Red X's face.
"Why, because there are so many sicko's on the streets?" She asked with more confidence than she felt. She hadn't been this scared in years...
"Robin worries terribly about you." Red X said, turning away.
"Why should I care?"
"I didn't say you should... Catch you later, Rae Rae." He waved at Raven before retreating into the darkness. She walked him go, looked back at the tower and then followed him into the dark shadows.

Robin lay on the couch in the main room, flicking threw the channels as he normally did. He yawned and stood up. He walked over to the window and stared out at the thick fog pressing itself against the window.
A scream rang out from far away in the city...
