Chapter 6

Wraith walked through the nightclub pushing his way past anybody who stood in his way.

"You wait here" he said to Sparky as he took out another cigar.

"Ok Wraith" grinned Sparky as Wraith produced a lighter from his jacket and lit his cigar.

"I'll be back in a minute" he smiled as he took off towards a stair case in the far corner of the room.

"I'll just be waiting right here then!" Sparky called after him as he watched wraith disappear up the stairs. He cheered as he walked to the bar listening to the band in the back ground.

Wraith reached the top of the stair and was nearly pushed back down them by a pink haired young women.

"Jinx what the fuck are you doing here?" demanded Wraith as he fixed his coat and glared at Jinx, who had a mischievous look in her eyes.
"Nice to see you as well Wraith" smiled Jinx as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "Miss me?" she purred into his ear as she licked his face gently.
"As much as I would like to remember the good old days" replied Wraith as he peeled Jinx off his neck, "I need to speak with the man is he in?" he asked as he pushed Jinx way from him. Jinx just giggled as she slammed into the wall behind her.

"I always did like it rough" she smiled as she looked at Wraith, "And yes he's in but he's taking care of business"

"Well when he's finished tell him that Pleasant Dreams apartments went boom" smiled Wraith as he walked back towards the stair well.
"Oh I will" smirked Jinx as she watched him walk back down the stairs, the smoke from his cigar silently rose.

Shied counted under his breath as he placed various bills onto counter. He was interrupted as he heard someone banging on the gate to his shop.

"Go away we're closed!" he yelled as he saw a silhouette of a person bang again. The figure pulled the gate open and walked towards the door, Robin looked into the shop and banged on the glass door twice.
"Stupid fucking creature of the night" complained Shield as he reached for the gun under the counter, "I said we're closed you dumb fuck!" he yelled as he approached the door. He fell back onto his ass as Robin smashed his fist through the door and took a step in. His crow flew past his shoulder and landed on top of an old black guitar and squawked at Shield.

"Who the fuck are you?" gasped Shield as he looked up at Robin. Robin smiled as he took another step into the shop and fixed his new black trench coat.

"Just a customer" replied Robin as he looked around him, "I was looking for something in a gold engagement ring" he said as he looked down at Shield.

"No shit for brains your looking for a coroner" smiled Shield as he lifted up his pistol and blasted Robin in the chest. Robin staggered back a few feet as the bullet passed straight through his chest. Shield laughed until he saw the wound begin to close over.

"Oh shit" he gasped as Robin looked up and smiled sadistically at him. Before he knew it he was sent crashing into the wall behind his desk by Robin. Robin followed after him and hung himself from the roof as Shield fumbled about on the floor. Shield popped up swinging a red guitar until he noticed that Robin was gone.

"Ahh Mr Shield your not paying attention" smiled Robin as hung upside down in front of Shield. Shield screamed as Robin grabbed the guitar and taped him the head with it. Shield stumbled back in pain as Robin dropped back down onto the desk. He took a swing at him but Robin caught his hand and slammed it onto the desk, he suddenly pulled out one of Razor's knives and rammed it straight through the hand pinning it to the table. Shield screamed even louder until Robin placed his hand on his mouth and looked at him.

"Allow me to repeat myself a gold engagement ring do you have one?" asked Robin as he removed his hand from the terrified Shield's mouth, "A man named Razor pawned it here a year ago he told me this before he eventually ran out of breath" smiled Robin as he kicked open as chain linked door and looked at Shield.

Cyborg took another puff of his cigarette as a bunch of coroners carried the body of Razor past him, he had several large knives stuck into his chest directly above his heart.

"And this was?" asked a man from behind Cyborg. Cyborg muttered something under his breath as he turned around and looked at the man, he was wearing a long light brown trench coat.
"Razor a member of Wraith's crew detective Gunn" replied Cyborg as he looked at the detective.

"Doesn't anybody around here have a grown up name?" smiled Gunn as he wrote something down on a small note pad.

"Doesn't look like it" smiled Cyborg as he threw his cigarette onto the ground and placed his for on top of it.

"Funny and what is that?" asked Gunn as he pointed at what looked like a bid painted in blood.

"Don't have a clue" replied Cyborg as he looked at it. He didn't know why but he recognised the image from somewhere.

"You can leave my crime scene now" smiled Gunn as Cyborg snapped back to reality. He just glared at the man and walked towards his squad car.

"Razor" laughed Gunn under his breath as he walked towards the place where they had found his body.

"What the fuck are you doing back there?" yelled Shield as he heard Robin kick through another TV.

"What don't you know this game?" laughed Robin as he picked up a video recorder and smashed it against the wall.

"Bottom shelf of that cabinet there, there in a box on the bottom!" yelled Shield as he pulled the knife out of his hand. Robin walked towards the cabinet Shield said and sat crossed legged on the floor. He reached into it and lifted out a small tin box and opened it. Inside of it was hundreds of rings, Robin marvelled at how they all shined in the dim light of the pawn shop.

"Nope" he said repeatedly as he closed his eyes and picked up a various rings, he tossed each of them onto the floor beside him. He suddenly flinched as he picked up a simple gold ring, he felt a single memory flow from it into his mind.

Raven stood alone on the roof of Titan's Tower and watched the sun as it set in the sky. Robin appeared in the doorway behind her and slowly walked up to her, making sure he didn't make any noise what so ever.

"What do you want Robin?" smiled Raven as she opened her eyes and turned to look at him. She was shocked to see him kneeling down in front of her holding a small black box in his hands.

"Will you marry me?" he asked as he looked up at her. Raven felt tears form in her eyes as the window's of the tower shattered.

"Of course I'll marry you" she said finally as she wiped away her tears. Robin smiled as he placed the ring on her finger and jumped onto his feet. Raven rushed him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I love you" she said before Robin leant in and kissed her passionately.

Robin opened his eyes and looked at the ring in his hands. He instantly recognised it as Raven's ring.

"Raven" he whispered as he ran his finger gently along it. He placed it carefully on his baby finger before he stood back up and walked back towards where he left Shield, carrying the box of rings with him. He walked past several large gasoline cans and kicked them over, spilling their contents onto the ground.

"You have one chance to live" he said he picked up a shotgun that was resting behind a large stack of TV's and pointed it directly at Shield.

"Take anything" smiled Shield as he grabbed an old scarf and wrapped his bleeding hand in it.

"Thank you" replied Robin as he slammed the box of rings onto the counter and picked up a can of gasoline, pouring it all around the counter and eventually tossing it into the back of the shop.

"Please don't kill me" pleaded Shield as looked at Robin nervously,

"Why shouldn't I?" replied Robin as he opened the box, "Each of these was a life" he said as he threw some of the rings at Shield, "A life you helped destroy"

"Look man I'm begging please don't kill me" he pleaded as he dropped to his knees and held his hands together in prayer.

"Then tell me where I can find Wraith and his friends?" demanded Robin as he watched Shield beg.

"The Hole, they all hang out at The Hole" stammered Shield as he looked up Robin, "Frosty lives there" he said as robin paced up and down in front of the counter.

"Frosty" smiled Robin as flashes of Frosty raping an beating Raven appeared in his head, he smashed his fist through the glass of the counter at the very thought of Frosty's face and glared at shield, his eyes burned with rage and hatred.

"Anything else you stupid fuck?" asked Shield as he pressed himself against the wall in an attempt to get away from Robin.

"Yes I want you to give them a message" smiled Robin as he picked up the ring box, "Tell them death is coming for them tonight" he said as he poured the rings down the barrel of the shotgun. Shield looked at Robin in confusion as tossed the empty box to the back of the shop and looked at him.

"Tell them Dick Grayson sends his regards" he said before he turned and walked back towards the shattered door. The crow followed after him and soared away into the night's sky.

"You dead you that shit head!" yelled Shield as he watched Robin walk onto the street, "Once they get you your a dead man!"

"Is that gasoline I smell?" smiled Robin as he looked back at Shield. The fat man panicked and ran towards the back door as Robin pointed the shotgun into the shop and blasted the rings into it, causing the gasoline to ignite and make the shop explode into flames.

Cyborg looked up as he heard an explosion from behind him. He looked in his rear view mirror and saw an angry glow in the distance

"Never get a dam break" he hissed as he turned his car around and sped off n the direction of the smoke and fire.

Robin walked away from the burning wreckage of the building and stopped in his tracks Cyborg's squad car pulled up in front of him.

"Don't you dare fucking move" smiled Cyborg as he stepped out of his vehicle and pointed his sonic cannon at robin.

"I thought the police said freeze?" smiled robin as he looked at Cyborg.

"Well I'm the police and I say don't move" replied Cyborg, "you move and your dead snow white" he said as he looked at Robin.

"Well I say I am dead and I move" smiled Robin as he took a step towards Cyborg.

"Man you must have a couple of screws loose walking into a gun" said Cyborg as he charged his weapon up and kept it pointed at Robin's head.

"You don't recognise me do you?" smiled Robin as he looked at Cyborg.

"I think I would remember if we've met" replied Cyborg as his weapon hummed.
"What about Raven do you remember her?" asked Robin as he sat down on a small wall. A sudden sadness crept into Cyborg's human eye as soon as Raven's name was mentioned.

"Raven's dead" replied Cyborg as he used his free hand to wipe away any tears that had formed in his eye.

"I know" said Robin sadly as he looked up at Cyborg, a single tears fell from his blackened eyes, "and for that crime they all must pay, like the new coat?" smiled Robin as he showed off his coat to Cyborg.

"You're the guy that killed Razor" gasped Cyborg as he looked at the coat and recognised it almost instantly.

"He was dead already, they all are. They died the moment they touched her" replied Robin as he fixed his hair and looked at Cyborg.

"Who are you?" asked Cyborg as he keep his gun pointed at Robin and reached for his handcuffs.

"A memory" smiled Robin as he stood back up, "Oh and look behind you". Cyborg turned and quickly turned back to find Robin gone. He changed his arm back to normal and scratched his head underneath his hat.

"And I thought Batman was bad" he sighed to himself as a couple of squad cars appeared behind him.
