Alright guys, here's the second to last chapter. That's right there's only one left. I'm mildly thinking about putting up an epilogue but I'm not entirely sure about it. Either way the next chapter is the end of this story and I think I'm going to end it tonight. It's already written and ready to go. So enjoy this one and stay tuned for a couple for hours! Review and favorite!

"Whoa… What the hell?" The Joker clan front man asked himself in absolute astonishment.

He couldn't wrap his mind around what happened to the teens they were surely about to kill. They were all standing a good distance from them, then all of a sudden a white light took their places. It was like a giant light bulb in the middle of the parking lot, but it wasn't overwhelming to the human eyes. It was small enough to appear to be a large star that was at ground level, deathly white yet beautiful at the same time, despite the eeriness.

"What do we do?" Someone behind the front man asked awkwardly.

"I… don't know." He responded with something brewing in his stomach. Something obviously wasn't right.

After he answered, the light began to ascend into the night sky at a very slow speed. The pace of the tiny light was unbearably deliberate, and it was making all of the men more nervous than they cared to admit. The way it shone through the blackened sky like the street lights surrounding it was brutally intimidating to the unstable and weak minds of the corrupted that stood before the heroes. It captivated the attention of every single man that had seconds earlier been itching to tear their blades into the children. What could this ominous illumination possibly be?

Robin watched the team empath rise into the sky with the most satisfying of grins. Much like the Joker, the masked leader had his own plans, and they were unfolding beautifully. As he expected, word had spread that the Titans had survived their supposed death, and they were certainly going to make an attempt to take the city back. The psychopath had been a step ahead of the boy wonder for much too long now and enough was enough. Joker wasn't the only one who could come up with an effective plan.

The lights in the parking lot began to flicker at a quickened pace, capturing the attention of the four heroes.

"It might be time to close our eyes now guys." Robin said as he swung his cape around to shield his precious vision from the events that were about to unfold.

Beast Boy complied immediately as he morphed into a green tortoise, bringing his limbs and head inside of his comfortable shell. Cyborg took his large right hand and placed it over his lone human eye, while Starfire closed both of hers behind the locks of her hair that she draped over her beautiful face.

The men still watched in awe at the unexplainable beaming light. They were too caught up in the sight to notice the wind picking up tremendously in strength. Just then the light disappeared, and replacing its spot in the sky was a girl in a blue cloak with a hood over her face; her eyes had a beaming white glow that she herself displayed moments earlier. She had black aura flooding from her palms as her dark powers outlined her being, and she also had something new to compliment the appearance. Two wings, both black as night, swung open in pure magnificence. The wings were such an intense shade of black that the only reason the men could see them was because of the parking lot lights that were flickering.

Raven didn't like fighting; she viewed it as pointless and a nuisance. However, her demon side thought otherwise. For years she had fought her own personal battle with that side of her. Always scratching, clawing, and digging to keep her sanity and her friends safe from the side of her they should never see. This time was different though. This time she had met a compromise with her other self, for these men would know no mercy. She would lay her wrath down on these cruel beings without hesitation, and would not show remorse in doing so.

With her satisfaction growing into elation, she began her will.

"Azarath." She whispered.

The wind died abruptly.

"Metrion."

Her anti-angelic wings engulfed her entire being as the lights stopped flickering.

"Zinthos!"

Her wings flew open emphatically as a mirror image of the sun's rays burst out of her eyes and mouth, swallowing the entire parking lot in blinding white. The rays pulverized the eyes of every single corrupted citizen and already made criminal as they were brought to their knees from the head splitting pain-. Simultaneously they all screamed in pure agony as the brightness of the light pierced through their pupils and ripped apart their retinas.

They each clutched their faces as their minds failed to conceive the hellacious pain that was firing through their nerves. It was impossible to close their eyes; the ache was maddening to the point where they had completely lost all conscious effort to control their muscles.

The helpless screams were making the Titans sick. But as they told themselves earlier several times over, it was the only way. If they all took on the field of criminals they would've been smothered and killed in mere minutes. Even if they were superheroes, being outnumbered would have been the death of them. Still, it pained them to hear the cries of anguish from the human beings, even if their intentions were dark. Then suddenly they stopped.

The noises of torture lingered on as groans of misery from all the men that were now lying on the ground with their hands covering their faces. Robin wouldn't dare observe though. He wasn't sure about the others, but he was more than determined to keep his eyes. Listening to the miserable moans was enough for him. It wasn't until he heard a dry, monotone voice that he even considered lowering his cape.

"It's done." Raven informed. "You can all open your eyes now."

Each Titan cautiously removed their own sources of cover over their eyes. They were flooded with darkness, and the little bit of glow that radiated was from the parking lot light that revealed empty parking spaces. Just in front of the entrance to the mall, was a heavy amount of people groaning and rolling on their backs. Robin looked on the scene with cold eyes, but was partly scared of the answer to the question he was going to ask.

"Are any of them…?"

"No." Raven cut in quickly while meeting her leader's eyes. "Many of them will eventually regain their vision. Some more than others."

Robin nodded in understanding. He still had a hard time grasping the strength this girl exactly had. It was unreal just how much the empath could do, and that was when she was in control of what her powers did. To lose control of her emotions and go ballistic would be disastrous, to say the least. He was glad that he was no enemy of hers, and he bid good luck to Beast Boy in his head.

"Ok…" Robin said, still shaken up from the brutality that took place minutes ago. "Well we better get a move on."

In the depths of the mall security room, a green haired renegade resided anxiously. In front of an amused Joker, several TV's displayed the mass nuke that diminished the vision of dozens of men, and he had to say that it was a very entertaining show. Though he was a tad annoyed at the ease the imbeciles he recruited went down with, he wasn't worried in the least. In fact, he chuckled at the cute trick that the grey girl pulled out of her sleeve. He had no clue what in the hell she was, but he was one shove away from cutting into her with his finest knife and finding out. Curiosity wouldn't kill the cat this time.

He didn't give himself a chance to react at his own mangle of the famous saying when he noted the group approaching the building with a very unfriendly atmosphere around them. Each teen had their own remorseless scowl that tainted their faces. The disgusted look was enough to make the Joker crack a small smile in amusement.

The sight of such visible anger pleased the Joker very much so, even if they were only just slightly showing it. To display it at all would mean that he was in their head, and to be there would mean that he was well on his way to victory. He smiled maliciously, for he knew that he would make their minds his home. It would be the place he'd comfortably live in and destroy during his stay. He would grab all aspects of innocence and strangle them, stomp on even the tiniest glimmer of hope, slaughter any will that even considered arousal, and he would forever have his pale fingers wrapped around their hearts that will get colder each and every passing day. How long he'd stay and wreak havoc would be entirely up to them, but with what he's been doing he had a feeling he'd have a nice lease, since he already moved in a long time ago.

A wicked smile spread across the white face of the evil genius at the malevolence in his cynical mind. It didn't matter that they didn't die when they were supposed to, what mattered was that they would. This mall would be the last place they ever enter as the Teen Titans. Their legacy would end here, along with the city.

He rose from his chair as the Titans entered the mall and smiled diabolically. "Catch me if you can." He said quietly.

The evil genius took a quick glance at the digital clock that hung in the security room.

12:11 AM

With the cruelest of intentions, he walked out of the room, and initiated what would be the end.

The teen quintet entered the large mall through the Macy's access with confidence in their hearts. Even when they realized how large the store itself was, they didn't let it dim their poise. After all, they didn't spend an hour and a half planning for nothing.

"Raven, is he here?" Robin asked.

Raven closed her eyes, losing herself in her psych while in search for the Joker's. She could feel it. She could feel the inhumane evil that was second best to her own father's clawing ever so slightly at her consciousness. It baffled her how such darkness could radiate from a human being. He'd make a nice fit being someone that gets his hands dirty in Hell. The faintness of the feeling indicated that he wasn't in the store, but he was surely in the building.

She opened her eyes. "No. But he is somewhere."

Robin and his team visibly relaxed at the news. Now that he wasn't in his battle ready mind state, he noticed how torn apart the store was. Racks of clothing were thrown everywhere along with scores of trash. There was blood spattered on the floor and walls, but nothing gruesome. He began to lead the walk out of the store and tried his best to not meet the disturbed gazes of his friends. This Macy's would always be the place they entered the mall through, and there was always a nice group of people that would stop what they were doing to talk to the Teen Titans. It saddened them to think that they'd possibly never see many of them again.

Approaching the exit finally, Robin let out a heavy sigh of relief when they didn't come across any sort of carnage. They passed the cash register and saw the tray separated from the register and thrown on the ground. To no one's surprise, it was empty.

Ignoring the ridiculousness of some people, the team made an exit out of the store and walked out into the spacious domain that was the Jump City Mall. The ceiling was made of glass with no lights attached, indicating that the sun provided all the light during the day. Being on the second level of the two story building, they noticed that there were several bridges connecting from one side of the mall to the other for convenience whenever a person didn't want to walk to the end of the hall to make a U turn. The floor was made of an unforgiving shiny marble that would make one's feet scream after walking on it for more than twenty minutes. In the view that their eyes gave them, there were three possible routes for them to travel. Left, right, and forward. The situation would be quite stressful if they didn't have a half demon that could lead the way for them.

"Which way Raven?" Robin asked while narrowing his eyes.

The empath once again closed her eyes, and searched for the cynical psychological trail that belonged to the madman. Normally such a task would be near impossible since there had been so many that had already been in the building from earlier. Luckily for her, his was very much different from any normal person's. His trail screamed at her nearly as soon as she started her search, as if it was just dying to be noticed. She drew nearer and nearer to pinpointing it, and soon found his diabolical smile filling her mind. Even being a half demon, the picture made her skin crawl.

"We need to go right. Downstairs." She finally said after a few moments of silence.

Robin nodded in understanding and kindly asked his girlfriend if she could gently float him downstairs. And of course, there was no request from him she'd ever refuse.

"Well of course Robin!" She said jubilantly.

She hooked her arms underneath his pits and gracefully floated up, then descended to touch down gently on the ground. Beast Boy looked over at his girlfriend and told her that she could take Cyborg, since he was pretty sure the android didn't have built in wings that came out of his back. The changeling quickly morphed into a hummingbird, and too flapped down to the second level. He was met by a descending android as soon as he turned back into his usual green form.

"Alright if we're ready, let's go." Robin said.

Yet again, the group began their intense walk in the directed corridor. As soon as they took their first step in the direction, however, there was something amiss. It was an obvious discomfort that they all felt. For some reason it was unnatural to be in a place that should be empty, because it didn't feel empty. More than once they had heard random movements and clothes being stirred in their stores, but nothing had come out and attacked them yet though, and they didn't have time to check every store for surprises, so they kept moving.

Until they heard the elevator moving.

Joker watched from the balcony that the second level the mall supplied as the teen heroes walked through the silent hall. He gave a grizzly smile at the elevator that was now descending to meet the ground level. Normally the elevator was used for people that didn't wish to take the escalator down, but this time it'd be used for something much more meaningful instead of something so pointless.

"It's all about sending a message." He said murderously to himself.

He pulled out a stopwatch from his coat pocket and let his sinister smile grow ever so slightly. Joker gave one quick glance back at the quintet, and ran into the store to get away from this place. He didn't want to stick around for the fireworks.

The very sound of confirmation that they weren't alone was enough to make them stop abruptly. They observed the moving elevator anxiously; not really wanting to know what it was that wasn't jumping for their help.

Robin, being the intelligent detective he was, expected the worst. Plus if it was someone who wasn't a threat, they'd be begging for help or would immediately let it be known that they weren't a threat. He pulled out his boa staff and took a one step back so he would be able to push off of it to make an advance on a possible enemy. He took one quick glance behind him to see what his comrades approach was, and was pleased that they thought the same.

A green leopard that looked ready to jump on a helpless deer replaced where Beast Boy once stood, Raven had black aura surround her hands, Cyborg had his sonic cannon ready and extended to the elevator, and his girlfriend had lime green eyes with green orbs surrounding her hands. Satisfied with their poise, he brought his attention back to the elevator that had finally made contact with the ground. The doors separated from each other, and revealed the grizzly scene of merciless death.

The elevator was dampened in crimson red blood that was almost done drying, and its origins were lying on the ground with white painted faces. Much like Slade's robots, these slain people had their faces painted, and had their smiles extended by some type of blade that cut through the edges of their mouth. There was no movement, so Robin safely assumed that there were no survivors. He tried his best to conceal the queasiness of his stomach, but found the task incredibly difficult when the sounds of Cyborg vomiting began to pierce through the intimidating silence.

The android just couldn't take it.

He immediately fell to his hands and knees and let out what little content he had in his stomach profoundly. It mostly was just water, since he hadn't really had a chance to grab a bite on his way over here. Still however, his stomach contracted in severe pain, and his throat screamed, both of which begging for mercy from the ache they was experiencing. With each upchuck that came from what little intestines the robotic teen had, his stomach contracted even worse, and it was becoming nauseating. Alongside his physical pain, his heart screeched for the poor lives that were ruthlessly cut short. How could someone take out those people so cold blooded? Especially kids?

The other Titans cringed at the sound of their friend puking harshly. They managed to keep their stomach contents inside of them, but it surely wasn't easy, even if all of them had seen their fair share of brutality in their lives. Beast Boy had lived in Africa, so he'd seen plenty of animal and human carnage back in his day of living in the wild. For Starfire, there had been plenty of war on her home planet Tameran, and she'd even been caught in the middle of some battles. At one point in time, killing was the way of her people, since they felt it was the resolution to many problems. War is war, so many unspeakable things that happen on earth occurred on even the alien planet. Raven was half demon, so it was natural that such disaster didn't faze her. Her heart even raced in excitement a little at the sight, but she quickly smothered the feeling. It always made her feel a bit ashamed when her demon side made her feel joy at such a monstrosity.

Soon Cyborg's stomach finally began to let up, and he started to relax from the intense cramping of the vomiting. He kept his eyes clenched shut however, another sight of what was in the elevator and he would be chucking blood. Fighting for oxygen to get into his lungs, he clumsily tried to stand.

"We should just keep moving." He said, fighting the twisting of his intestines.

"I don't think we can dude." Beast Boy said, pointing upwards at the second level.

All of the Titans brought their eyes up in the pointed direction, and groaned inwardly. Scores of Joker painted Slade robots stood along the edges of the second floor surrounding them. Their soulless eyes looked down on the quintet of heroes with their carved murderous smiles, craving to dig into the flesh of the group. Cyborg's cybernetic eye did a fairly quick scan of the scene and guesstimated there to be a few dozen. He grimaced. They had surely expected resistance, but this might have been much. Raven had been able to just about dismantle the psych and vision of about a field of men, but those were human beings. Such a tactic would be as ineffective as putting a child in timeout.

Starfire took a step back in hesitation, unsure of what to think of the mass outnumbering. She turned to the one person who always seemed to know what to do. "Robin, what do we do?"

The said hero narrowed his eyes in agitation. Technically, everything was still on track. They had expected resistance, even quite a bit, but it was still aggravating to think that possibly they may have miscalculated just how much they'd encounter. He knew Raven's abilities would do nothing unless it involved the city losing their team of superheroes along with its recent invader, so she was out of the question. There was only one thing to do.

"We fight." Robin said boldly.

"Sounds good!" Cyborg proclaimed in fury as he raised his sonic cannon at the heartless androids to his left. Without another thought he fired a beam of blue from his arm now turned weapon, and sprayed the edge of its occupants. Many evaded the blast and jumped onto the second floor to get even ground on the heroes, but there were also several who were caught in the metallic hero's outraged crosshairs. He growled ferociously as a group of robots ran at him eagerly, aching to dig their sharp fingers into what little flesh he had. Aggressively he brought his arm down after changing it back, and threw a fist into the face of the first one that approached him. Easily crushing the first robot, he kept his fist in its landed position and turned it into his cannon yet again, and fired off brutally on the remainder of the on comers. He made an effortless sweep of his victims, and searched anxiously for who was next.

Starfire didn't make the first advance in her confrontation. One, she didn't enjoy battle now that she'd grown accustom to earth ways, two, being the first to strike would leave her vulnerable. Soon, a Joker robot with a laser blaster made its advance on her with long beams flailing relentlessly. The robot placed both of its hands on the handle of the weapon, and ripped a never ending beam of bright red that was destined for the area in between the alien princess's eyes. Quickly reacting, she unleashed her own wrath and let out a green power flow from her already forest eyes. The two forces met halfway and remained at a stalemate for several seconds. Growing tired of this, the alien princess let out a frustrated how that boosted the intensity in her beams, overcoming the opposition and melting the robots head off.

Robin observed his girlfriends triumph and smirked inwardly to himself. He loved how overly sweet the girl could be, but it was even nicer to see her in battle. It let him know that she would always be able to handle her own weight in battle. His thoughts were quickly discarded when he was forced to narrowly dodge an oncoming metallic fist that just missed his skull. With his unnatural reactions, he narrowed his eyes and rebounded by sweeping his boa staff at the legs of the robot, sending the object into the air. With an angry growl, he raised his staff as he brought himself up and pierced the top through the torso of the android emphatically. Robin had put so much force into the stab that the staff actually had penetrated the marble floor that decorated the mall. The robot dangled lifelessly in the middle of the pole that had impaled it, and Robin soon thought of a smooth ploy. He scanned the room in search of a certain changeling, and soon located him in seconds. The masked hero smiled mischievously.

"Beast Boy!"

The green raptor turned its head away from its mangled steel pray to look at the boy wonder, giving his undivided attention.

His masked leader used the bulging muscles in his forearms to rip the staff out from the marble décor, and then used the strength in his stomach and arms to swing the robot off the pole and into the direction of his green teammate.

"Catch!" Robin yelled.

The raptor soon reacted and quickly morphed into a green gorilla. In one motion, the primate caught the robot by its foot, and swung the android around violently, sending other robots flying after being struck by their metallic comrade. With a resounding roar, he angrily threw the robot at a group that was beginning to make their advance towards him. The group soared backwards from the impact, and into the punishing hard walls of the mall with a blood curdling thud. Satisfied with his animalistic tactic, he morphed into his human form and searched for his empath girlfriend. He was more than shocked to find her a few feet behind him floating in a lotus position with her eyes closed.

"Rae! Now's not the time to be meditating!" He yelled to her.

She cracked open one eye in irritation. "I'm trying to find Joker! Now stop talking and make sure I'm not bothered!" She shot back.

Beast Boy had almost forgotten why they were at the mall in the first place, and was taken back by the reminder the empath unintentionally gave him. He gave her a strong nod, and back pedaled to protect her from any foolish entity that'd even think about approaching her.

Seeing that the changeling now had her back, she closed her eyes and let her mind wander about the structure of Jump City Mall. He was near. She could feel the madness that radiated off his soul burn her like she was standing right next to a bonfire. Raven still found it hard to comprehend how something human could have such an evil feel to it. Doing her best to ignore the intensity of the firefight that was going on around her, she continued to search, and ruled out that he was upstairs. He was downstairs. Yes, a few stores over… But he was moving. No… running? He was trying to escape!

She shot her eyes open while remaining in her floating lotus position, and frantically searched for her leader. Successfully finding him tangled with a creepily smiling robot, she yelled to him. "Robin! He's getting away!"

Robin normally wouldn't have heard much when he was engaged in battle. He was usually horrendously intense when it came to combat, his teammates knew that personally, and all noise outside of the grunts and painful groans his opponent would give would be shut out. However, the announcement of the madman getting away rang loud and clear in his ears.

"Stop him!" Robin yelled while fighting for possession of his staff.

Raven nodded in understanding, and closed her eyes yet again.

"Azarath, metrion, zinthos." She said plainly.

A shadow like mimic of the girl rose from her back in a ghost like manner, and zoomed off in the dirty walls of the mall. She had no idea which part of the mall in particular the evil genius was in, but it wouldn't take her long to find him. The more intense and powerful the soul was, the more pressure she would feel in her own psych. It would be a somewhat painful experience, since she was technically in her psych form, but her pain would be ignored during her pursuit.

After several seconds of hectically flying through walls and stores, the pressure began to build, and she felt like a bed of bricks were resting on her head. She searched further and further until the familiar sight of green hair screamed out to her where he was. Joker was running in a large hallway towards the exit doors in a very clumsy pace as he struggled to keep his own feet underneath him from the urgency he was striding with. Raven could see the panic on his face, but she couldn't feel it, which was odd. Shrugging it off, she darted off towards the head of the evil genius before she could black out, and entered the mind of the madman to gain control of his limbs.

Joker immediately stopped when his head started to pound relentlessly from a staggering head ache. The pain was so intense and mind numbing that he felt like his brain was going to melt and bleed out through his ears in any moment. It almost made him laugh. He would have laughed too, if he even had control of his own lips.

Raven was disgusted, to say the least. The mind she now controlled was by far the filthiest thing she had ever felt, and was the most cynical mind she had ever been inside of. Just being inside of this unspeakable place was almost enough for her to abort mission and jump out of her new skin. As she continued to loathe her now position, the empath noticed that the disturbed man was fighting to push her out. Raven easily refocused herself, and shoved down the feeble attempt at retaking it.

In the hallway, the evil genius stood bent over in eye bulging pain with his hands holding his head. It was excruciating until finally it all stopped suddenly. He was panting in disbelief of the magnitude the agony came at. Not sure what to think of it, he thought it'd be smart to just get going again.

Joker tried to move his limbs, but found them to be completely immobile. His legs would not listen to the demands his brain would send them, and neither would any other part of his body. He began to grow irritated, then finally relaxed in defeat when his legs began to move on their own. He figured that there was only one person that was probably capable of this.

'Dammit.' He thought.

As his body rotated to turn back around and head to the battlefield, he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror and found his usual eye color to no longer be present. Instead, they were replaced with a deep, captivating violet.

Cyborg threw the last of the robots into the now towering heap of scrap metal they were building off of their victories. He clapped his hands free of the dirtiness that went into his fighting, and declared their win to anyone who was listening.

"That's the last of them!"

Robin narrowed his eyes at the mountain of metal. "Yeah, but Raven went to go stop Joker from escaping. She isn't back yet."

"I'm right here." A smooth voice said.

All the Titans turned in the direction the voice came from vigorously, and growled at the sight of the madman. He was walking towards the group of heroes in a steady pace, with an atmosphere of confidence surrounding him. Noticing this alone aggravated Robin to no end.

"Finally came out of hiding clown?!"

The white faced man stopped and spoke in a dry voice. "Robin. Shut up. It's me, Raven."

Starfire looked closely at their new enemy, and realized that the news was correct. The man's natural eye color wasn't only rid of its madness, but it was replaced with Raven's drawing purple.

"She is correct Robin." Starfire said, resting a hand on his shoulder for him to relax.

Robin made the same observation his girlfriend had, and instantly eased his muscles which were starting to ache from the constant tension.

Satisfied with his withdraw, Raven decided to make her way out of the rancid mind this man had. A black shadowy figure came out of the madman's back, and he fell face first to the marble ground while she gracefully flew into her own rightful body. She slowly opened her eyes, and immediately shivered at the memories of the evil dampened place she had just come from. Cautiously, she stretched her legs out slowly to not get any excruciating cramps, and stood up to face her team. To her dismay, they were all giving her concerned looks.

Frowning at the uncertain looks, Beast Boy answered her question before she could ask it. "Rae, are you ok? Your nose…"

The empath slowly brought her pale hand to her nostrils, and felt a warm, chunky liquid. She pulled her finger out into view, and frowned even deeper at the sight of her blood. The blood itself not only made her frown, but the cause of it upset her even more. This was the first time this had ever happened when encountering someone else's mind. Could this man really be that twisted?

"It must have been me encountering his mind." She said, still looking at her blood.

"Too much for you to handle baby?" Joker asked as he sat on his rear with his hands supporting him and his legs spread open. "Was I too rough?"

Beast Boy widened his eyes in fury, and nearly lashed out at the freak that harmed his precious empath. The only thing that stopped him was her assuring hand, which warmed his heart even in these roughest of times. He slouched and slumped his shoulders in sadness at the sight of her blood, and kept his anger in check until it was appropriate to be released.

The madman had a crazed smile on his face until it was washed away with a ruthless swing of Robin's boa staff. Joker was flung to his side from the bone crunching blow, and stayed in that position with his hand holding the destination of the pole for a few moments. He returned to his original sitting position, and yelled in somewhat contained pain.

"Damn! That was a swing!" He said, still checking his mouth for blood.

The Boy Wonder interrupted his search when he grabbed the evil genius by the collar violently. "It's over madman." Robin said coldly.

"Over?" Joker questioned. "Over?!"

Robin narrowed his eyes while his team raised a single eyebrow at this insanity of this being.

Joker continued. "Oh you silly little birdie, when will you learn that with me, it is never over?"

The masked hero almost felt like hanging his head in defeat. He knew where this was going.

Joker began to laugh mildly as he reached into his pocket, and pulled out the stopwatch that he'd been keeping tabs on for a few hours now. He took a look at it, and smiled sinisterly at it as he turned it around to show the Boy Wonder.

It read 10:57

In the coldest of voices he spoke. "When I told the city that everything was fair game, I never did deny that I had a nuke."
