Another short chapter I'm afraid guys! Sorry, I can't get into this story at the moment, but here's a new part anyway. Enjoy.

"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.

Cyborg practically grabbed Raven by the scruff of her neck and tossed her on top of a row of lockers, following the movement swiftly by doing the same to Starfire. That being done, the boys shot off into the bowels of the locker room and few clangs before the room fell silent for the door bashing open.

Five men came in with large guns. Raven had never seen so many guns in one place outside the shop where her uncle had brought his shotgun. And these guns were far nastier. Two of the guys had large knives strapped to their waists as well as the men each carrying a walkie talkie.

"That's it, there are definitely kids running around this place" the largest growled, he signalled to the others and they began to prowl around the room

Raven held her breath, she felt Starfire move the locker ever so slightly by moving her foot. It wasn't safe, if they move even a little the lockers would come crashing down and give them away.

"Well if there are we need to see if they got an S.O.S out" a small gruff man muttered beneath Raven "If they got a message out we need to move quickly"

"Moving quickly?" the first guy sneered "We move any quicker and all the hostages will be dead before we get any money"

Raven gasped and the guy beneath her jerked his head at the noise, he looked around him and moved a little way away. She prayed that he wouldn't look up.

"Anyone hear that?" he yelled to the others

"No"

The guy shrugged and shoved his hands into his pockets.

The largest man who had spoken first seemed to be the leader, Raven jumped as he boomed "There's no one here! The scream must've been somewhere else. We're wasting time in here"

She heard murmured agreement with the others and the troop headed out, one guy casting a last look around before kicking the door shut.

They heard one say loudly in the corridor as they left "When are we going to start killing the hostages?"

"Soon" came the reply

Silence.

Starfire sighed heavily and Raven began to hear movements from within the room and before long the boys appeared. Beast boy held his hand up to Raven and she jumped down, helping Starfire to do the same. She sighed, this day was going just so well. She caught Robin's eye, and it was going to get even better.

"Where did you hide?" Starfire asked Beast Boy "We could not even see you"

Cyborg grinned and high fived Beast Boy "Luckily when guys want to get out of gym class they GET out of gym class"

The guys lead them around to the back of the room where the back wall was and Starfire and Raven watched open mouthed as Cyborg pulled on a pipe which came out as a large rectangular piece of wall came away to reveal a small closet sized area behind it. Usage was shown by the litter of magazines and torch.

"And HOW did this get here?" Raven demanded

Cyborg laughed "I'm not a technical genius for nothing you know, I um…accidentally knocked Robin into the wall last term and he…um…went right through" he eyed the wall "Shoddy building if you ask me, anyway, turns out this area was left back here, so we just covered it with lockers for a few days while we all pitched in to build a false wall for it" he grinned "And it's been in usage every gym period since"

Starfire grinned widely "A marvellous plan" the smile faded "Yet it will not help us for long in a situation such as this"

Beast Boy sighed "The school is in a hostage situation, the captors have guns, no sign of the police, no sign of Batman and they're going to find us soon! What are we going to do?"

Starfire put her hand on beast Boy's shoulder and said calmly "Do no worry, Raven and I have thought of a plan"

The guys stared "Really?" Robin asked incredulously "Raven actually THOUGHT?"

Raven scowled "Of course that sounds amazing for someone like you Robin who has never in his life had a thought that doesn't include himself, but some of us actually do have a brain bigger than a peanut"

Robin growled and moved forward before Cyborg held him back with a snap of "Stop it you two or we're dead" he looked towards Starfire, "What's this plan?"

"Find the nearest phone and phone the police," Starfire announced triumphantly

"You're kidding" Beast Boy said, "That's it?"

Starfire looked offended "Why?"

"It's just…so simple" Beast Boy replied, scratching his head "The nearest phone is in the gym office" he paled "On the other side of the building…"

"Which means we have to go past those guys" Robin finished, he punched his hand together "Alright, a challenge"

Starfire nodded "That's the spirit" she smiled widely at Robin who nodded briskly

Raven stared, had she just seen the tiniest hint of colour rise up in Robin's face? Surely not. She had never in her life seen anyone do that, all the girls had been under his spell. Raven had suspected he'd never really liked any one of the number of girl he had dated, he'd never kept any longer than a month. And none of the girls had ever made him blush with a smile, he'd always been the cool one to ask them out.

Raven was determined to watch this now.

"I got a new plan guys" Cyborg announced, rubbing his hands in glee "How about we make things difficult for our hijackers before the cops get here, like maybe taking some of those guards and guns out?"

The other stared "How are we going to do that?" Robin asked in disbelief "They're armed to the teeth and we have, what, baseball bats?"

Cyborg nodded "Exactly" he paused "We make a disturbance, nothing to loud so they only send a few guys around to check the place out. We knock the guys out, take their weapons, tie them up, and when we've done this it ought to create a free path around the building to the phone. Or at least take enough out that are buddies in the hall can overthrow them"

The others were quiet for a moment. Contemplating the new idea.

"If we use that plan" Beast Boy said quietly "We're more likely to die, aren't we?"

The others nodded and Cyborg sighed, "They're going to kill us probably anyway if we're not saved. Who knows if people aren't dead already, you all heard the gunshots. But if we can save at least one person, isn't that worth it?"

The others said nothing, looking at each other nervously. They all looked pale and trying to see what the others would say before giving their own reply.

Cyborg looked at each in turn and said firmly "If you're going to take part put up your hand now, I'm going to tell you that even if you don't, I'm going to whatever I can to help those people" he put up his hand "Now, if you wanna help, now's the time to say"

Silence.

Then, slowly, Starfire put up her hand and smiled softly at Cyborg "I wish to help you" she said quietly, Cyborg nodded

Raven shrugged and put up her hand. If Starfire would be risking her life, she had to also. Not to mention her mum would kill her if she found out she didn't look after Starfire on her first day.

Robin scowled at Raven and fiercly put up his hand, taking her agreement as a challenge to his courage. Raven decided she would have to tell him one day that she wasn't challenging him and it was all in his mind.

Beast Boy looked around at the group and swallowed, running a hand through his hair before raising it reluctantly "Can't have you guys taking all the fun now can I?"
