Chapter 12- Exposed:
Raven:
Red X cursed silently and that took me off guard. It was true though. His mask was cracking and almost off. He looked around.
"We have to find a way out of here, now."
"So you can disappear again?"
"Well, duh."
Danny/Red X:
Damn it. I couldn't turn invisible and just leave them, not with Walker here and especially since he's after Raven. If it means to reveal my secret, that I'm a monster, a ghost, then so be it if it means keeping Raven safe. As long as it means keeping everyone safer.
I gritted my teeth,
"Come on, we can go this way."
"Why don't you just do that trick," Cyborg said with a smug smirk.
"Can't. They put the gh-…shield...up on it and I can't phase through that."
I saw Robin raise an eyebrow- I still don't know how he does that with a mask on. I sighed.
"Do you want to sit here and argue, or get down to business?"
I took the lead. We appeared to be in a warehouse, or sorts, maybe even a jail. The hallways were thin and metal. Everything seemed to be concrete and steel, like a prison. The only main difference was the walls glowing slightly due to the ghost shield.
I think I was bugging Robin even more since I was taking the lead. I floated about a millimeter above the ground because I didn't have shoes on-the same reason that Robin isn't taking the lead. No shoes can slow a person down.
I tried to use my ghost powers as little as possible (besides the mini-floating). I didn't want to use up all my energy. I needed to get my belt back, just in case. Besides, bird brains would freak if we left without getting his stuff back.
"Stop right there, punks. We're taking you in."
Raven:
Standing in front us, blocking our path, was a man. He was all white though, and wore a suit with a black cap. He was glaring at all of us, but mostly me. Standing behind him was more people. They all had green skin, tails instead of feet, and cop-like outfits. I narrowed my eyes…no…these weren't people…they were ghosts…I read about them, and these…I was actually seeing them, in the realm of the living….but…why did Red X act like he knew them?
"Good luck with that, Walker."
Red X turned and ran. The Titans and I followed him. We needed to stick together, and judging by the look on Robin's face, he had a few questions to ask Red X…
I looked back briefly and saw that Walker and the other ghosts were following us. We were finally a good way ahead of them. Red X didn't stop until we hit a dead end. There was doors on either side of us. Red X tried to open them, and both of them were unlocked. He poked his head through the one of the left, smirked, closed the door, and then led us to the one on the right.
"Come on."
We had no choice but to follow. The second we were in the room, Red X closed and locked the door. We heard Walker and his followers go into the other room and scream.
Danny/Red X:
I had to chuckle. Walker will be off our tail for a while now. I had made a small ghost portal and whistled faintly to get a friend to help me out…Cujo. He's more of Danielle's dog then mine though. He'll keep Walker busy. I just hope that Danielle doesn't come.
I looked around the room. It was large and there was tables. One of the tables had items on it that I recognized.
"Looks like I found your stuff," I said.
I grabbed my gloves, shoes, belt, and cape from the table. I saw Robin do the same. We both clicked our belts into place and he smirked.
"Good as new."
"Now, to find a way out," I said.
I looked around and noticed a door.
"Come on," I said as I went to the door. Honestly, I was surprised that they were still following me. I think Robin just wants to keep tabs on me though.
Raven:
We all followed Red X through the door and we found ourselves outside in what looked like a prison yard. There was a tall barbed fence that was electric and it glowed green slightly. There was no way out but through the fence.
"Starfire, Cyborg," Robin ordered. Starfire and Cyborg looked at each and nodded.
Red X stepped back slightly. Starfire shot a star bolt at the fence at the same time Cyborg used his sonic cannon. When the dust cleared, there was a hole. A small hole, but a hole nonetheless that we can escape through.
Robin, the Titans, and myself ran through the hole.
"Red X, come on!"
As if we could leave Red X alone. He's a criminal, a thief. Red X ran through the hole, or at least he tried to. He growled.
"I cant!"
"Why not," Beastboy asked confused.
"Can't explain…"
Robin went back through and pushed Red X against the wall.
"Why not?"
"You wouldn't believe me, kid, and get off!"
Red X pushed Robin away from him. Starfire's eyes glowed dangerously.
"Do you think we'll let you escape so easily?"
We were back in the yard as Brother Blood appeared. His eyes glowed slightly. The Hive Five appeared as well as Walker and those other ghosts.
"Ready to get your butts kicked," Jinx said teasing us.
"You're going to go where you belong, in my jail, punks."
I narrowed my eyes. Soon, we were fighting the High Five. Red X, to my surprise, kept the ghosts away from us. It took only ten minutes of fighting for the Hive Five and Brother Blood to be down. Currently, they were hanging upside down from a pole tied up and knocked out. Now there were the ghosts.
"What's a matter, Red X, lose your touch," Robin smirked.
"No, but I hate using my powers," Red X said as he kicked another ghost. It made me wonder how he was able to do that, I thought that no one of the living was able to hit the dead.
Walker narrowed his eyes. Unluckily, Red X's mask was already half way off, but still didn't show his face, only glimpses of white hair that seemed familiar. One ghost hit managed to hit Red X in the head, and his mask fell off…. Walker narrowed his eyes.
"You…"
"What's a matter Walker, miss me?"
