Black and Blue.
News reports came flooding in of the Titans disappearance, and the immediate evacuation of the city they had sworn to protect. Everyone seemed to be thinking the worse. Dick shook his head in disgust. How little faith they had in him. But then, he wasn't doing any of this for them. It was all for his fallen friends. They had be avenged. And they would be…
The youth stuck to the shadows, through he was no longer in his costume. Force of habit? he wondered stepping out on to the crowded pavement, or were the shadows where he belonged?
He moved quickly down the street, but a T.V bulletin flashed on the screens at the nearest electronic shop, caught his eyes. Slade was expanding. It was only a matter of time before this town fell before him as well. Dick wanted to scream. He wanted to find Slade and make him suffer as he had. If he could just find him. And to do that he would have to defeat Terra. This was where an old rival of Beast Boys would be most helpful. This was of course if he could make it to New Orleans sometime in the near distant future.
Dick hurried off down an alley way completely aware that he was being followed by a would be mugger. He paused.
"Look I don't have time for you. Piss off," Dick growled.
The man caught of guide. But he quickly snapped out of it. "Listen here Punk! …" He tried to make a grab at Dick's shirt, but the former Titan was to strong. He swung the man into the trash cans.
"Why you little…" The man roared pulling out his gun.
Instantly Dick had the man pinned. The gun flew out of his grasp. This would normally be the point where the mugger would be cuffed and sent of to jail. But something inside of Dick suddenly snapped. He raised his fist and let it crash hard into the mans round face. It felt good. So good just to let out all of his emotions. All of his rage….
By the time Dick stopped himself, the man was unconscious, black and blue with bruises. Dick breathe hard. He stared at the blood dripping across his hands. 'Look what Slade has driven you to…' his mind told him.
"I'll get you Slade," he hissed, before disappearing into the night.
