Prey

Chapter 5

Part 1

Pleas' Pov

I looked at the smirking lion. It seemed that he was not kidding, he was about one foot above me, but I had sized him up as he approached before. His grin continued as I answered his 'proposal of authority'.

"And what do I do if I do not surrender to your pathetic request?..." I asked, forcing a growl under my throat. I tried to avoid the fact that I was pummeled to the ground before by showing off. The large-muscled figure's confident face turned to annoyance, yet he still seemed to boast.

"Obviously, you have not heard of us, cretin...we are the members of the H.I.V.E, an organization that could easily dismantle that 'Teen Titans' that you stood up for before...and utterly failed, might I add..." He replied, showing his glistening, white teeth with a toothy cunning smile.

"We...you have more for me to defeat..." I raised my chest slightly, listening closely for any signs of attack. Sure enough, I could feel two lurking behind me. What a sad attempt...

"You catch on quickly..." Before my eyes, the puma/lion teen latched out at me huge fingernails singed out. The two behind me as well lurched forward, one coming to the right, the other to my left. Once again, I ultimately 'froze' time by sprinting towards the mammoth character; with dynamic force, I grabbed his left arm, and concentrated on his feet, and sure enough he seemed to float as if he only weighed 5 pounds.

"-Unghgh!- L-Let me go, peasant!!" He managed to choke. I smiled softly, answering his call by letting go as another 'henchmen' swung in. Apparently he was a small, bald little boy with bright goggles that hanged over his small forehead, and a green jumpsuit with a backpacked wings that hanged over his shoulders loosely. He was pummeled in the chest, crying out as well as he was squished to the ground by his comrade. In a rough attempt to defend myself, a pair of hands wrapped around my neck, pressing against my Adam's apple. I choked for a while as the skinny girl breathed heavily against my ear.

"Wh-What's wrong -gasp- Pleas?! H-Had enough?!" That smart little comment deserved a right hook to the cheek. I could feel my eyes turn a dark purple glow, the girl yelped in surprise as I flinged her off of my back onto the gravel. I raised my dirt, blood shed hands to her body and concentrated. Sure enough, she started to float in a glowing bubble of energy, with the body wringing around helplessly. "Get...me....out...now!!"She yelled over the loud noise.

"Than tell me where Slade's base is!!" I answered, the glow growing larger.

"Never!!"

"Tell me!!"

"F-fine...I-I'll tell you..." She answered, her voice croaking. I ceased my hands down, sending the girl to the ground with a loud thud. Blood from my hair seeped down past my eyes to my once dark maroon shirt. I now had a chance to save Raven...finally...
