"Who the hell are you guys?"

Omen reached into his pocket and brought out a pager, summoning his army of men from his headquarters. They came out, marching in rows systematically.

"Titans, Go!"

Starfire flew down to Raven and took the brown sac from her face and pulled the electric ties apart. "Oh, Friend Raven!" She squealed then hugged the sorcerer. Raven smiled but then got to her feet when Omen's men started to fire guns at them.

Raven turned to Slade and saw him break himself free after fighting the men that kept him down. She saw him running away from the fight that broke out between the Titans and the men. She sneaked out of the scene and caught up to Slade.

"Where are you going!?"

He stopped and looked down at her. "Stay here, with your friends, fight them off. I'm going after Omen alone."

"No! I don't want you to go alone."

"I don't have my mask. They will see my identity."

"It doesn't matter! You're not going after him by yourself."

Slade sighed and hugged the sorcerer before giving her a long passionate kiss. "I'll be fine. Go!" He pushed Raven toward the rest then ran towards Omen's headquarters, not looking back at all.

Raven sighed and flew back to her team. She wanted to see them, but not when they were fighting for their lives. She only hoped that Slade would be victorious in his battle.


"Omen, come out you coward."

"How did you heal so quickly Slade?"

Slade turned around in the dark, trying to find the man, but he only heard his voice. "That should be the least of your worries. Now show your face."

Omen jumped from the ceiling then landed in front of Slade, ready to fight. Slade cursed when he remembered that he didn't have his gadgets with him. He looked around then broke a pipe from the wall.

"It's just you and me, old friend."


Starfire used her eye beams to stop the men advancing towards her and her friends. She used her bolts then blasted them, but she didn't use all of her energy since they were human and didn't want to kill them by accident.

She turned and saw Changeling also fighting off a large number of fighters. He morphed into an elephant, stomping at the men around him like bugs. They backed away but started to shoot at him. He turned into a mockingbird, avoiding the whizzing bullets. He then transformed into a ram and started to run into them. He smirked in pride at the unconscious bodies on the ground.

He ducked when a bow whizzed passed by his head. He looked to see the arrow come in contact with a fighter that was standing behind him, ready to shoot the back of his head.

"You're welcome," Speedy said to his drinking buddy.

Nightwing brought out his bo staff and started to beat the men with his rod. He used the staff to raise his body off the air and kick the three men in the chest, causing them to fall back on the ground. He brought out disks from his belt then threw them at the small number of fighters. They screamed then fell onto the ground, stuck in a net, but they continued to shoot their guns at Nightwing. He started to run out of the way, but one of the bullets came in contact with his arm. He yelled then fell, clutching his arm.

Bee flew in and shot the three men under the net with her stings. They were unconscious after only one hit. "You okay Nightwing?"

Nightwing seethed in pain. "No, but keep fighting. I'll be..fine."

Bee stayed by his side but continued to blast her yellow stings at the men that were starting to advance on them again.

Mas and Menos ran in, taking the attention of some the fighters. They huddled together, trying to shoot at the twins. Mas and Menos jumped and kicked the men in the face, knocking them out. The two smiled then gave each other high fives.

"Nightwing." Raven ran to her leader then kneeled beside him and Bee. He was starting to bleed profusely, and nothing was working.

Nightwing groaned. The pain was unbearable. Raven sighed and tried to summon as much energy as she could. Her hands turned blue then she placed them over his bloody arm. Soon, the bleeding started to stop and his skin was stitching itself together. Nightwing sighed when the pain went away, but he caught Raven before she could fall over.

"Raven, are you ok?"

She sighed and nodded her head. "Low on energy, that's all. C'mon, let's fight."


Omen and Slade started to spar in the dark. Slade jumped and tried to kick Omen in the face, but he blocked it with his arms then gave a heavy punch to Slade's face. He grunted then fell back, holding his chin.

Omen smiled with confidence. Slade spat the blood from his mouth then charged at him again. He gave a series of punches and kicks to Omen, but he dodged every single attack. Omen brought his staff out then thrust it towards Slade's abdomen, causing him to fall to his knees. He brought the rod over his head then swung it down over Slade's head, but he quickly rolled away.

Slade gave Omen a swift kick sweep, causing him to fall onto his back. Slade brought his pipe then started to hit Omen with it. He staggered back, holding his arm. He groaned then took out his own staff again. "It's sad how we turned out like this."

Slade and Omen circled each other with their weapons in hand. "I did nothing. It was all you."

Omen chuckled. "I beg to differ." Omen charged at Slade again with his staff in hand. The two continued on with their sparring spree. The metals clanging together making a rhythm. If only Slade had his gadgets, he would have thrown a grenade at him.

Slade staggered back, breathing heavily. He never liked fighting Omar when they were younger because they were so similar in fighting style, and it's amazing to see that they were still at the same level.

"What's wrong, Slade? Getting tired."

Slade ignored him then ran to him, but Omen stepped to the side then kicked Slade's back, causing him to fly forward onto the ground.

"Don't worry," Omen said, bringing out his pistol. "This won't hurt a bit."


Raven was beginning to worry for Slade. She focused on helping her friends fight the thousands of men that were coming out of nowhere, but she continued to think of the man she loved.

"Yo, Rae!"

Raven gave an "oomph" when Changeling ran into her, throwing her out of the way of a fighter's attack. She sighed and looked up at Changeling. "Are you ok, Rae? You don't seem to be focused."

Raven shook her head and rubbed her temples. "No, I'm not. I need to find Slade.''

Changeling gave her a quizzical look. "What? Why? We're here to save you."

"I know, but I have to find him." Raven got to her feet and started to run away from the fight, but she was held back by Changeling. She looked back at him confused and angry. "Let me go!"

"No! Why are you saving him? If anything, you should be here helping us!"

Raven pulled her arm from his strong grip. "I have my reasons." She said quickly then flew away from the scene.


Slade kicked the gun from Omen's hand then dashed for it, but he grabbed Slade's ankle and threw him to the other side of the wall with a loud thud. He groaned and fell to his knees. He looked up and saw Omen pointing the gun at the middle of his eyes with his finger on the trigger.

Omen smiled at him evilly. He dropped the gun when he felt a large force hit him in his side. He yelled then flew to the side of the wall.

Slade looked up and saw Raven flying in front of him with her hand extended. "I told you, you would need my help."

Slade only smirked before accepting her extended hand.

"Isn't that cute? The power couple is together." Omen said, holding his abdomen.

"Give up, Omen," Raven said with her hands glowing black.

"Never, sweetheart."

Omen threw three small hand grenades at Raven and Slade. There were a loud explosion and a ton of smoke, making it hard to see. Raven fell to the ground when she felt a kick on her side. She used her black powers to create a small shield from the hand attacks that were made by Omen, but he was stopped by Slade. He wrapped his large hands around Omen's neck then threw him to the ground, punching into his face repeatedly. Omen grabbed at Slade's first then twisted his wrist, causing a loud cracking sound of Slade's carpal.

He screeched in pain, giving Omen a chance to escape. He kicked Slade off from above him then got back to his feet, but he was greeted with a crate slamming into him. He flew back and hit the ground. He rubbed his head at the large knot. He noticed just in time, another crate coming his way. He got to his feet and jumped over it with ease. He noticed Raven flying above him. He reached into his belt then threw three exploding bombs into her face, blinding her. She used her hands to shield her face, but the light was so bright. She failed to realize herself losing altitude in the air. She gasped when she felt strong arms pull her body to the ground.

Raven tried to use her powers to stop Omen, but she felt a cool steel on her neck, which made her stiffen in his grip.

Omen kept the blade close to Raven's thin throat. She kept her position and tried not to agitate him.

"Come any closer, Slade, and I'll slit her throat."

"Let her go, Omen."

He smirked and added pressure on the blade and tightened his grip on her waist. Raven tried to summon something to hit him in the back, but she couldn't concentrate hard enough.

"Whatever you want, I'll do it. Just let her go." Slade had his hands up to show his willingness to comply.

Omen laughed. "You think you're better than I don't you Slade? Huh? You think that just because you're richer than me and stronger than me that you can boss me around like a little kid? Well, you're wrong." He said, bringing the blade closer. "I have your everything in my arms right now. I could kill her right this moment."

Slade kept still. Obviously, Omen was beginning to turn mental.

"Today, I'm going to win. I'm going to have the upper hand."

Raven screamed when she felt the blade tear her skin.

Slade acted quickly then brought out the gun that fell on the ground earlier. Omen noticed this and threw the blade fast and accurately at Slade, piercing his chest but moments before Slade shot the gun straight at his head.

Omen's lifeless body flopped onto the ground, and blood splattered everywhere, freeing Raven. She pushed him away and ran to Slade. She fell to his side and stared at the blade that was thrusted deep into his chest. Raven started to panic. The blade was thrust on the left side of his chest, right where his heart is located. Tears ran down her face as she continued to look down at Slade. He was beginning to lose consciousness. She tried to heal him, but she was low on energy, and the small amount she had wasn't enough to heal such an injury.

"Slade, stay awake." She said between sobs.

She held his heavy head in her arms. She continued to cry. Her powers started to act out of control although she tried to conserve it and push it towards healing Slade. But nothing was working; she could feel the life draining from him.

Raven looked around. She tried to call for help from her friends but they were too far away to hear her wails. She looked down. "What should I do?" She wrapped her fingers around the blade and tried to pull it out, but Slade screamed at the pain. She quickly stopped in fear and tried to do something else. She unclasped her cloak and started to pat it around the stab wound to reduce the bleeding. It wasn't working as much as she had hoped.

Slade slowly moved his hand up to Raven's crying face which she held with her bloodied hand. There was still a lot of blood spilling from the stab wound, and Slade was starting to go into shock. All Raven could do was cry as she watched her love die in her arms.

"Please, don't leave me."

Slade squeezed Raven's hand with all the might he could and looked up into her eyes. It pained him to see her in such a state of distress.

He raised his hand and weakly wiped away the tears from her face. She looked down and stared into his warm eyes.

"I..love..you."

"No, no, no. Slade, you're going to make it. I promise." Raven rambled. She placed her hands on his wound and tried to heal him again, but she was still too weak. She started to cry again. This can't be happening. He can't die, not now. Not like this. "My friends are coming, Slade. Hold on just a little ."

Slade tried to hang on to life, but it was quickly eluding him. He looked up at her and gave one final smile to her. His body went limp and his eyes went still. Raven screeched and shook the large body frantically. "Wake up! Don't go to sleep! Get the hell up!"

"SLADE!"
