The Barrage
(Minutes later...)
"Who was that?!" Robin yelled at the tower supercomputer angrily.
"Who cares? He saved our asses" Cyborg replied irritated.
"Your not the slightest bit worried that he could be a threat Cyborg?" Robin asked.
"Friend Robin, he seemed quite friendly. Almost as friendly as friend Beast Boy." Starfire merrily said.
"I can't shake the feeling I know him." Raven said puzzled.
"Whatever. He's probably some creepy wannabe." Robin said bored, "In the meantime we need to focus on where Slade went. Im sure he has some sort of plan to take over Jump."
"Alright man. Lets get to-" Cyborg began.
"Ahh my dear Titans. What a pleasure it is to see you all doing fine. Do you value your tower very much?" Slade asked smirking. "If so, I'd recommend you look out the window." He added as he ended transmission. Concerned, the Titans looked out the big tower windows to see hundreds of missiles heading right for them.
"Damn. We need to act fast!" Bee panicked.
"Titans...GO!" Robin yelled. Cyborg pressed a button on the supercomputer console opening the windows. He then began firing at the missiles in-order to knock them out of the sky. Following suit, Raven, Starfire, and Bee got to work knocking missiles by the tens. No matter how many they destroyed, twice the amount took place. As the missiles got closer, Robin, Flash, Aqua Lad, Mas, and Menos used the tower cannons to grab all the stragglers.
This one-sided war continued for hours and didn't seem to wane even when the Titans began to drop like flies. Just as all seemed lost however, the missiles started to wane. On closer inspection, the Titans saw the small form of Hunter destroying the missiles a few miles away from the tower. They watched on as he single-handedly defeated the entirety of the barrage in a matter of minutes. He jumped from missile to missile ripping them apart in an almost primal manner. Punching his hands straight through the metal and ripping out the wiring. In addition to that, he occasionally let loose a loud roar causing the missiles to change direction and retreat back to where they came from. Then, as they slowed down, Thunder, true to his word, formed a massive lightning tornado and sent it spinning in the direction of the missiles, instantly disposing of the remaining warheads. Once done, Hunter let loose a roar of triumph and landed on the street below him, exhausted.
He leaned against a building as the Titans made their way over to him. Not bothering to move when Robin addressed him.
"Im not gonna say it again. Who are you!?" He bellowed pushing Hunter against the wall he was leaning on, staff at his neck.
"Robin, lay the hell off!" Raven yelled flaring.
"Shut up Raven. He could be dangerous." Robin snapped.
"Robin, calm the hell down man." Cyborg urged.
"Robin, your over-reacting man." Flash reasoned.
"Robin. Get. Your. Damn. Hands. Off. Me." Thunder snarled.
"Not till you tell me who you are." Robin sneered. Hunter then growled as he punched Robin in the stomach sending him threw a wall in the building across the street. "Sorry Titans, I really didn't want to do that." Thunder said sadly. Robin then got up and charged at his target staff raised. As he got closer, however, Hunter vanished in thin air.
"Robin, you are and unmitigated asshole. You realize that right?" Raven commented stoically once back in the tower.
"I don't wanna hear it Raven. Im the leader here. Not you." Robin replied angrily.
"Robin, you know you over-reacted." Aqua Lad chipped in.
"Yeah. It makes us look bad if our leader blows up over the smallest of things." Bee said calmly.
"What if he's a threat?" Robin retorted.
"Are you crazy man?" Flash answered. "If he was out to get us he'd let us die by those missiles. You know we wouldn't have held up much longer..."
