Ali: Yeah, it's been awhile since i was able to write a good story cause It was like, extreme writers block, thats why i couldn't write the sequel to Slade's only weakness, and why i did write the year long party, cause Parodies are easier to write and I find it helps make writers block go away. Oh and don't worry nothing is gonna happen to Raven!
Hazzagriff: Thank you! I'm glad you like my story, keep reviewing

Chapter Eight: Not today
Midnight was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling. She sighed. She was hungry, she didn't feel like getting up to go and eat though. She decided that it was for the best so she got up and walked to the door and opened it, she stepped out and walked down the hall, there were lanterns on the walls on the hallways, the tile floors looked like they had just been cleaned. She headed toward the dining room, there were three guards there including the one that had broken into the tower. They all saw her.
"Hey Midnight" said the one who broke into the tower, she didn't know his name, but thought it was something along the lines of Dan or something. "Have fun at Titans Tower?" Midnight glared at him.
"Not talking are we?" he said "Looks like you've pretty much given up haven't you? Well i find that extremely funny" Midnight grabbed something to eat off of the shelf
"Come on" said Dan "Talk, or have you lost the ability?" he laughed his head not turned to Midnight,
"Your really proud of yourself aren't you?" said Midnight not looking at him
"What are you talking about?" he said
"Happy you left the other guards there to die, Happy your now Kain's top guard, Happy everybody looks up on you now aren't you?"
"Oh shut up" he said
"You know, if i felt like it, I think i'd kill you, but I'll do it some other time" at that she left the room and Dan stood there wide eyed and confused.
Later on Midnight was in her room. She decided she'd go snooping around the headquarters. She had nothing better to do. So she walked out of her room, looked down the hall making sure there were no guards there then she walked down the hall, deciding to take her chances she walked to Kain's door and pressed her ear against it to see if he was talking to anyone. He was in fact, it sounded like a rookie guard.
"So I want you to go to Titans Tower and record their activity, make sure that the Raven girl is dead, and if she's not- well, you know what to do, and after that, I'll finish the rest of the pesky Titans off myself"
"yes sir, now, how do i get to Titans tower?" Midnight pressed her ear against the door even more intentively. but, as if Kain knew she was outside, he started talking really quietly and Midnight could barely make out a word he was saying.
"Okay, i'm on it sir" said the guard after awhile, Midnight heard footsteps coming towards the door, she pelted down the hall and around a corner, she decided to follow the guard. So when he turned a corner, she turned the one she was hiding behind and ran to the other corner, and peeked around it, waited till he had turned a corner then turned that one, she repeated this pattern until the guard got to a door that led outside, he opened it, it was a very small room, probably only five square feet across. there was a ladder leading up. Midnight suddenly had a memory of going up and down this ladder. He stepped into the room and closed the door. Midnight wondered if she should try and escape, after all, Kain was at a weak spot with all his good guards dead and only a few good ones left. She might as well try. She walked slowly toward the door. She picked up her pace until she finally got there, she grabbed the handle, turned it and opened the door. She remembered opening the door several times before also, going up the ladder, but what did she do after that? Only one way to find out, she walked in and climbed the ladder, at the top there was a door, when she got there she pushed it open. Ah, sunlight, she thought as she poked her head out and looked around she looked up at the sky to see powerlines leading down a steep hill, she remember this too, she was on top of a moutain. She looked down the powerlines. It was coming back to her. Now she remembered how to get there, follow the powerlines down the west side of the Mountain, and it will lead right into Jump city, and it's hard to miss Titans Tower. Now she remembered, now all she had to do was tell the Titans how to get there but how? All of the sudden she felt a hand tighten around her ankle and she was yanked downward she hit the floor with a thud as the grip on her ankle was releived, she groaned and looked up. Kain.
"Going somewhere?" he said looking angry.
"yes, but not today" said Midnight
"What exactly do you mean by that?" said Kain
"you caught me, so not today" said Midnight, although, that really wasn't what she meant, but Kain didn't need to know that.
Titans Tower
The titans were sitting in the downstairs lounge, since it was the only place left to sit in.They would rotate watch duty, making sure none of Kain's guards came back, Raven was still out of commission, it had been about three days since Midnight had left. Cyborg was currently on watch duty, the other three Titans sat around and waited for their turn.
"Umm" started Starfire "Do you think that while nothing is happening we should begin repairing the tower?"
"Not right now" said Robin "Me and Cyborg have leveled out the top floor and put some boards down so the rain can't get in, but we don't have enough time to fix it just yet, we'll have to wait till after this whole thing is over, and plus, if he did it once, Kain might not be afraid to do it again once we've rebuilt it" Starfire nodded.
Outside with Cyborg, he was sitting on a rock, he looked around for anything that might look suspicious, but everything looked normal, from where he was at least. Since the control room was destroyed, they had no alarm system so they were at a weak point, a few weak points actually. He could have used a lawn chair and a smootie at the moment, but at a time like this that was a lot to ask for. Right now he had to focus on making sure no one got into the tower. He started getting really bored. He checked his watch (that, like everything else was built into his arm) he had fifteen minutes left of his turn. He sat there for another ten minutes when he heard something from the other side of the Tower, it sounded like footsteps, he decided to go check it out, he walked around to the other side, just in time to see one of Kain's guards there. He loaded up his cannon "Don't move!" he said, But the guard was fast and pulled out a plasma ray and shot Cyborg before he knew what was happening.
From inside the tower the other Titans heard the gun blast, they jumped out of their chairs and ran towards the door, they exited the tower and looked around. They ran around to the back to see Cyborg lying on the ground. The guard wasn't anywhere in sight. But they heard a window break from up above them, they looked up too see the guard entering through the window.
"He's in the med room!" said Robin
"Raven!" said Beast Boy
