Sorry for the long wait guys, I got writers block and hundred exams toppled on to me like bricks! Sorry, here's the next chapter.

How could they hide if the door was about to be kicked in? The door two cubicles along was kicked in and Raven squeezed her eyes shut. This was it.
"Quit it, no one's here, we're wasting time and you're giving me a headache" the first voice said, his whine betraying his boredom "Let's check the guys locker room"
"Fine"
Raven almost died in relief as she heard their footsteps recede. Her legs felt weak and it was all she could do to prop herself up on the cubicle walls and toilet and keep quiet until she heard the door finally swing shut. She waited a moment before letting out a sigh of relief, which, she was horrified to find, emerged as a rather loud sob.
She'd never cried at school, not even when Robin's bullying was at it's worst.
"Raven?" Starfire's voice squeaked from the other side of the cubicle and a handful of toilet paper shoved through under the side of the wall
Raven smiled and reached down to the tissue "Thanks" she croaked
She emerged from her cubicle and opened the door to Starfire's cubicle "They've gone" she whispered, as if they were still hiding
"Yes" Starfire looked around the locker room "We must go, it is not safe in this building"
"Where do we go?" Raven demanded, "They're looking for people, the doors are sealed. They were talking about money; maybe they're using the school as a ransom. We can't get out"
Starfire crossed her arms "The situation is not hopeless" she said with conviction "We must find a way to summon the police forces to your school. We must signal for this Bat"
"Batman." Raven corrected, "Those guys said they didn't want him to spoil the plan. If we get the police maybe he'll show up too. But…how do we do it?"
Starfire frowned "We must get out of this room for a start" she looked towards the door on the other side of the room past the lockers and began to go towards it
Raven grabbed her arm "We don't know what's out there"
"We do" Starfire said, gripping Raven's hand "Men with guns. Avoid them and we will be safe. They took 5 minutes or less to check this room did they not?" Raven nodded "Then it will be the same time for the boys locker room, which is the last room on this corridor. We give them an amount of time to finish their search and move on to the next corridor. Then we can move"
Raven had to admit that it sounded like a good plan. But they were teenagers? How could they stand up to men who looked around twice their age and carried weapons that could rip them to shreds in seconds. Raven wiped sweaty palms on her trousers and sighed, she was shaking, what if they got killed? Images of the people in her school who she saw everyday flashed into her head.
They were in danger. As much as she hated them sometimes, she couldn't let them die.
She nodded "Let's do it but…move where?"
"To the nearest phone" she paused, then Starfire smiled grimly "I have not been in a situation where I could die before…"
"You've travelled in a car before haven't you?"
"Yes"
"Well then" Raven looked at her watch "Five minutes right? Let's start counting"
The minutes passed like hours and Raven found herself listening for every small movement in the hall. Every sound was a potential threat. Starfire began to pace quietly, catlike, as the tension began to get to her. In the end Raven had to stop her because she was making the wait worse.
Finally, after a century of waiting, the five minutes were up. Raven listened carefully and assumed the mutterings outside the door and the soft pads of shoes were the guards leaving the boys locker room. She waited until they had faded completely and looked at Star.
"Let's do this" she said firmly
Starfire nodded.
They opened the door slowly. Nothing, Raven heaved a sigh of relief and opened the door wider. Still nothing. She edged out into the hallway quietly and signalled for Starfire to follow her. The red head pulled out into the corridor and gently shut the locker room door before edging down the hall. Raven set off after her.
She had no idea where they were going but it was better than waiting in the locker room for a rescue which would never come if they didn't get some sort of signal out.
She could hear noise and shouting from the hall, a low rumble of voices and then a yell and all was silent again. Raven was glad there were no more gunshots.
Starfire reached the next door along as Raven caught up to her. She felt as if her heart was going to burst standing out in the corridor like this. She brushed a strand of hair away from her face as Starfire continued to move.
Then Starfire was gone and a yell broke the quiet. Raven felt as if she had just had a heart attack as she dove around the doorway to find Starfire being wrestled by several large figures and holding her own.
"Cyborg!" Raven gasped
The figures stopped tumbling and looked up, Beast Boy, Robin and Cyborg gaped at Raven and then did a double take at a cursing Starfire before letting go.
"Well look who it is" Robin smirked nastily
"Just what I need" Raven spat
Robin got up and they faced each other off dangerously.
A burst of yells and gunshot flew around the corridor and a yell of "It came from back here!" brought the two back to their senses. They paled.
"Come on" Cyborg snapped, "No time for this crap, we gotta hide again or we're dead"
A loud crash outside confirmed that and they scrambled off the floor.
