Notes: Time for a look at the canon verse. We'll see if I ever touch this one again.
Canon, Part 1
Raven scowled as she attacked the punching bag in front of her. She was vicious and unrelenting in her assault, kicking and punching from all directions without pause.
The night before, the Titans had faced down Red X, again. And again, the thief had gotten away. But this time, this time Raven had almost stopped him. Her magic had latched onto him for a brief moment, but he had been able to escape.
Scowl deepening, Raven picked up the tempo of her assault on the punching bag. She was furious that her magic had failed her, even if it had been against a thief that none of them had ever succeeded in capturing. Next time, he wouldn't get away. If her magic didn't work, she would beat him up. She refused to continue failing.
For now, however, all the Dark Witch could do was continue taking out her frustrations on the black bag hanging in front of her.

Red X relaxed in his lair, mostly content with how his heist the previous night had gone. Mostly being the key word. He, the best thief around, had almost been caught; and not by the Boy Blunder. No, it was the Sorceress who had almost tripped him up, and that was not something he had thought possible.
The witch was easily neutralized with an x over her mouth, after all. She posed no threat after that, or so he had thought. Somehow, someway, the Titan had managed to work her magic wordlessly, causing black mist to catch X's feet. He had managed to break free, of course, but her near success had startled him.
No longer could he afford to be so complacent about her, or any of the others for that matter. They were clearly getting better, learning from their encounters. So maybe some of them were smarter than he had originally thought. No problem; he still had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
Next time, he would be better prepared for all five Titans. He wouldn't underestimate any of them again. Not even the Boy Blunder.
