"We finally got Jinx to tell us what happened," said a thoroughly bruised Cyborg to his leader, twenty minutes later.
"Nothing illegal, I hope?"
"Nope, just painful. For me, anyways. Dark was taken several days ago after an attack on some Chinese guy and a bunch of guys in suits. Government guys, maybe. She says she doesn't remember a lot after, and get this, YOU used military-grade weapons to kill four of her HIVE friends."
"She's lying."
Cyborg shrugged. "I know, dog. I know. The weird part is… her cranial scans say she's not. Maybe she's insane?"
"Cyborg," said the leader softly, "it's more important to worry about where the Felicitas will strike next. Get Jinx to prison and help me find them."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Logos slowly planted itself at the drop point. "You all ready?" Sparky asked, as if he cared. "Okay then!" He hit the double diamond button and Niobe, Ghost, Raven and Bane entered the Matrix.
Exactly three hundred and twenty feet from the Titan Tower, and twenty feet from a mysterious black shadow on the ceiling. As the four filed out, he whispered into his cell phone, "They're here. Let's see what the Titans have to prove."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Send a squad car right over to pick up Jinx," Cyborg wrote to the police station. Two minutes later, he heard the relaxing sound of sirens. He looked out his window at the bridge where they had left a handcuffed Jinx… and gasped.
Four figures leapt across the bridge after the car. The echoing shots of a pistol went off and the car sped off of the bridge. "Oh, no…" the android whispered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is the pattern of possible kidnappings," said Robin, pointing to a monitor on the main screen in the living room. Starfire looked on eagerly, while Beast Boy was asleep on the couch and Raven floated in midair.
"They are prob… what is it, Cyborg?" Robin asked the panting Titan who had just ran into the room. "Felicitas… in… city…" he gasped.
"Titans, GO!" Robin yelled. As the Titans quickly left to stop the Rebels, another mysterious entity, white in color, materialized above a light into a trenchcoat-garbed man with a crossbow on his belt. He snapped his cell phone out and placed it to his ear. "Carter to Nightmare. This is gonna be one hell of a show."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Into the back," Niobe commanded. Seven people in the lobby of the apartment quickly ran to where Niobe had set the unplugging kits. She followed them. Ghost, Bane and Raven all stood in the center of the lobby, wielding their swords, waiting for the Agents.
The Agents did not come.
"Uh, guys?" Bane asked. "What if the…WOW!" he shouted as the R-Cycle crashed into the wall. Robin landed on his feet, whipped out his Bo staff and twirled it. "You're under arrest, Felic… wait a second! You're not Felicitas!"
Ghost paled. "What's "Felicitas?" Bane asked his mentor. "Another crew…" Ghost answered, gritting his teeth. "Locke's old crew. They're all supposed to be dead…"
"It doesn't matter. We saw what you did to that police car. You killed innocent people and… it looks like you're kidnapping more right now!"
A massive noise was heard, just before the T-Car smashed through the wall and rammed Robin's motorcycle, effectively turning it into a piece of the wall. "Teen Titans, go!" Cyborg yelled. 'Dark' Raven phased through the wall and held her glowing black hands up. Raven went after her, spinning the twin-edged katana like a propeller.
Ghost, holding two swords, leapt after the Dark Robin and Starfire. Bane was left against the android and the changeling, who turned into a Tyrannosaurus.
"Oh, shit…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raven ran off of the wall as her dark form threw black energy at her. She batted away a possessed plant and kicked Dark Raven in the chest. The program leapt to its feet and hovered in midair. Raven could have sworn she saw four red eyes, if only for a moment, plastered on Dark Raven's face.
And again she saw her own blue eyes. Dark Raven flew at her, launching obsidian at the Rebel. Raven jumped up just as the energy made a massive hole in the carpet. She landed, rolled, and slashed at the program. Dark Raven flinched as her robe fell off of her neck. As Dark Raven tackled the Rebel through the wall, the four red eyes lit up again. "Stay in control of your emotions, bitch," the Rebel laughed as she stared at the four red eyes.
This time, they did not leave. Dark Raven rose up, the dark essence flowing like dry ice 'fog' out from under a sheet of black. A demonic voice came from the program. "SSSOOOO, YOU LIKE TO PLAYYY WITH SSSWORDSSSS?"
The entity held out its hand and allowed black energy to form in it… slowly, the tiny particles melded into a glowing double-bladed sword. "LET'SSSS SSSEEEEE HOW WELL YOU FIGHT AGAINSSSST YOUR OWN WEAPON….."
Dark Raven/Trigon slashed at Raven, who leaned back quickly and slid under the program's legs. She flipped backwards and went for Trigon's head, but he simply batted her away with a dark tentacle of Azarath energy. She retaliated with a heavy boot to his head.
The program shook its damaged skull and spun, the blade coming dangerously close to the Rebel. Raven ignored the dangerous weapon and used her own to knock the dark sword out of the demon's hands.
"RRRGGHHH…Azarath Metrion Zinthos… Azarath Metrion Zinthos…" a soothing voice came from the demon and it returned to the Dark Raven form. The true Raven took this opportunity to crack the program over the head with the side of the blade.
Dark Raven slumped to the floor, unconscious.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ghost leapt at the teenaged programs, the light reflecting off of his twin Katanas. Starfire blinked as the man slashed down at her, but instead of dodging, she caught the blades in her hands. Ghost kicked her away and used a sword for support while he kicked Dark Robin into the dinosaur.
Beast Boy roared and charged Ghost, who simply smirked, flipped forward onto the dinosaur's back, and began to slash at the tough hide. Beast Boy yelled and turned back into human form as Ghost jumped off of him and collided with Cyborg.
Dark Robin whipped out a birdarang and prepared to throw it when Bane's foot nearly took his head off. Dark Robin swung his staff, but Bane leaned back and swept the Dark Robin's feet out. He reverse-kicked a coming Starfire and stabbed down. In retaliation, Dark Robin used his Bo staff to bat away the sword and proceeded to kick Bane where it hurts.
Bane crumpled onto the carpet as Robin attacked Ghost, who had already beaten Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire unconscious with the blunt sides of his swords.
Unbeknownst to them all, two figures watched from the ceiling, enjoying every moment of the fight. One white and one dark…

A/N: Dark Robin and Dark Raven are simply tribute to MP2:E. Had nothing else to call them!
