Author's Note: Oooh, been looking foreward to this one...
Killer?
"Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me"
The sky was grey with smoke, and the only evidence that this place was once a city were the dark outlines of skyscrapers, surrounding the area like spikes.
Three buildings lay in ruin, toppled over and smoldering with un drenched embers. I stared down at him, his neck bent in an unnatural position, his legs and arms facing every direction. A thin line of blood still dripped down the side of his head, and his gun was still clenched tightly between his meaty fingers. I didn't know what to say, and I stared at my own hands. The blood had disappeared beneath the black fabric, almost invisible.
God, I killed him.
"Shit..." He was surrounded by other bodies, the innocent bystanders of the whole ordeal, buried under slabs of dry wall and paneling. Some of them, you could only see arms and hands. A few, their unseeing eyes stared blindly at the sky, accusingly almost. But I couldn't look at them for more the a moment, before my eyes were pulled back to the man, his neck broken and his blood still warm.
"Wow," Cyborg said from behind me, and I jumped, "what happened to that guy."
I thought of him, grabbing me by the back of my neck and pulling my towards him. The barrel of his gun was cold against my forehead, and my hands shot back.
Snap.
"Don't know," I whispered, "must've got caught in a beam."
I looked back, and Cyborg's nose was scrunched up in disgust, "Bummer."
He walked, and I followed. A gentle hand tapped my shoulder. It was Raven, her eyes downcast from the shadow of her hood, "Robin."
I looked where she looked, at the man, and she shook her head, "What happened?"
I stared at her. She stared back.
The sun peaked back from behind the smoke, and swirls formed from where the wind blew. I was breathing it in, the soot, and my lungs felt heavy. The dried blood that was unnoticeable on my gloves stuck to my skin.
"Beam must of hit him," I shrugged her hand away and followed Cyborg to the T-Car.
Author's Note: Slightly less epic then I imagined...wrote it in like five minutes.
