Sorry I haven't updated. Well, only two more chapters after this... And everything will have pulled together...I do not own the Teen Titan's or anything associated with them, except for Orion because I made him...Oh, the characters may seem a bit off, because I haven't been watching Teen Titans on a regular basis.

A silence fell upon the gloomy subway. Orion kind of stood there, before slumping over and falling to the railroad tracks with a heavy thud. There was a stream of blood that lead to his still body. Robin ran over to Starfire, untying her and carrying her away from the bloody mess. She felt unusually light and had a strange, sickly look on her face. Beastboy was the first to break the silence. What..just happened..? Cyborg peered over the edge, grimacing. Looks like he's dead, or near fatally wounded. Raven glanced around before speaking up. It was me. He didn't aim for Starfire, but for Robin. I raised a shield just in time. Apparently the bullet bounced right back at him. Cyborg let out a low whistle. One in a million chance. Guess we lucked out. What do we do now, leave im there? There's nothing else that we should do with him. The stood to leave, carefully lifting Starfire.
Koji appeared in front of them, a maniacal grin on his face as he darted about with the bloody knife in his hands. He cackled wickedly and brandished the weapon at them. So, killed Mr. Mastermind man, did you? Robin glared at him in exasperation. Koji, we don't have time for this, get outta here, you dirt bag. Dirt bag, eh? That's a good one! You don't look exactly like a polished butcher's steel yourself. He lunged, stabbing at Robin, who dodged back a little, trying his best not to drop Starfire, who had fainted. Hold her for me, Beastboy. He growled, shoving the limp girl into the Changeling's arms. Cyborg, Raven and Robin leapt at Koji. The four of them all fought, stabbing and hacking, shooting, kicking and sending random objects at people. Robin fell, hit by an unexpected kick to the jaw from their spry opponent. Cyborg swung with his gun arm, sending Koji flying into the wall. Raven quickly gathered the bits of odd machinery and furniture to form a barricade around the Homicidal, rending him helpless. With a quick leap, Robin was upon him, punching and kicking him as he yelled in his face. How many? How fucking many have died because of you?! How many have you killed?! With a quick turn, he spin kicked the criminal in the head, knocking him out like a light.
He sat down, breathing hard as Raven threw the limp body down onto the tracks with Orion. Robin gasped, trying to regain his breath after his frenzied attack. But first...We need to tie them up and interrogate them. The other Titans jumped to it immediately. Soon they were flying above the city to the police department when they heard a strange noise. It sounded something like a choke and a growl combined with a insane laugh. It came from Orion. I ain't dead yet...? He struggle violently in the telekinetic hold of Raven, but it was no use. Up ahead, the giant Titan Tower loomed like a huge sentinel.
Okay, start talking. Why the hell did you do all this, and where'd you get all of those weapons and genetics? Robin voice was a snarl as he slammed Orion down onto the floor. Blood wept bitterly from the bullet wound in Orion's chest. I..don't have much longer, so I guess I'll just tell you, kiddo. Orion said as he coughed a little. I got all my stuff from this weird thing with a name that started with an N or something. Think it's name was Nexus.. It said that It'd give me this stuff if I used it to bring you guys down.. Why is he after us? Robin inquired, releasing Orion. I..dunno...Like I said..It's a weird critter, probably some psychotic alien thing...Anyhow..I got my tools, and it told me how all the genetic programs and whatever worked...so, I made...my..hideout in the subway...As to your other question..why I did what I did...I explained in the subway, but I'll say it again...revenge...you killed my parents- I did no such thing! I tried my best to save them from the fire! We've all mourned over the deaths of everyone, you've got everyhting wrong! Robin yelled. Orion just kind of stared at him strangely. Why did this Nexus creature entrust you to try to kill us, and not some other so-called criminal mastermind? I..don't..know...I..guess I was..lucky. Anything else...?Yes. How did you manage to capture Starfire? How did you get past our security systems, and how did you stop her from reducing you into ashes?Quite..simply..I..used...EMP...weaponry..from..the..Nexus guy... I used drugging..and...poisons..that's...why..she couldn't..touch me..with her powers..She...was...weakened by the..poisons..and will..remain..weak..until...she..dies...The posions made...cannot..be..flushed out..or destroyed..by any..of your..tech, or anyones...but...theirs... He gasped out as his eyes began to dim over.
Who are Robin asked, shaking Orion to keep him awake. The criminal just kinda of smiled and merely replied. and with that being said, his eyes closed and he went still. The other Titans stared around at eachother, and Robin frowned. Who could this Nexus creature, and what was his purpose? Where there more of them? Why did it even attack the Titan's in the first place by hiring Orion? How could they find an antidote for Starfire? These questions raced through Robin's mind as he paced back and forth, ignoring the dead body of his former enemy.
