Chapter 10

Painful information

"I think he's waking up" said a voice in the darkness as Nightwing slowly opened his eyes and saw Cyborg and Speedy standing over him.

"Hey man have a nice sleep?" smiled Speedy as Nightwing sat up and rubbed his head.

"Ugh where am I?" groaned Nightwing as he looked at Cyborg. Cyborg smiled as he held his hand out to Nightwing.

"It's ok man your safe at home" replied the metal hero as he helped Nightwing to stand back up.

"Where's Slade?" demanded Nightwing as he looked around him and saw that he was in the living area of the Tower.

"Don't know, listen man he took Raven with him" Cyborg said sadly as he helped Nightwing to balance himself.

"What?" gasped Nightwing as he looked at his friend.

"Raven's gone man" sighed Cyborg sadly as he handed Raven's wedding ring to Nightwing. Nightwing took the small golden band and looked at it, his vision was become blurry s tears formed in his eyes.

"Where did he take her?" growled Nightwing as he glared at Cyborg, the metal hero could see an intense hatred burning in Nightwing's eyes.

"We don't know Genesis is trying to track him down but it doesn't look good" replied Speedy as he sat on the couch and sighed sadly. Nightwing growled angrily under his breath as he headed towards the garage.

"Where are you going?" demanded Cyborg as he watched Nightwing walking towards the garage.

"I'm going to save my wife" replied Nightwing as he stopped and saw Beast Boy standing in his path.

"Not alone your not" said the green changeling as he blocked Nightwing's path.

"Just try and stop me" growled Nightwing as he grabbed Beast Boy and threw him across the living area and into the TV. He didn't show any emotion as he grabbed his helmet and disappeared into the garage.

"What is his deal?" growled Beast Boy as he stood back up and tried to follow after Nightwing but was stopped by Cyborg.

"Let him go" he said as he restrained Beast Boy, "He needs some time alone" he said sadly as he heard Nightwing's motorcycle roar into life and speed off into the city. Cyborg sighed gently as he disappeared down a corridor that led to the bedrooms.

"He had better look after himself" snorted Beast Boy as he sat on the couch beside Speedy and was about to turn on the TV until he remembered that he had crashed into it. Both of the Titan's sighed as they looked at the ruined television set.

Nightwing sped through the city, his hair bellowed behind him and the rain soaked his uniform but he didn't care he had to find Raven. He stopped as he saw a young man being beaten by a gang of five thugs wearing bandanas, he sighed as he stopped his bike and took off his helmet.

"Yo dude if you know what's good for you you'll just keep on driving" said one of the gang member's as he noticed Nightwing step off his motorcycle

"And if you know what's good for you you'll all start running about now" replied Nightwing as he reached for his bo staff and held it behind his back.

"Check out this guy he thinks he's a hero" laughed one of the thugs as he picked up his baseball bat and batted it in his hand.

"Let's teach this idiot why you shouldn't mess with Slade's Scythes!" yelled another thug as he pulled out a chain and ran at Nightwing. Nightwing growled as soon as he heard Slade's name being mentioned and pulled out his bo staff and smashed the thug with the chain in the face with it. The other member's of the gang looked at Nightwing in shock as he twirled the bo staff around his head and once again smashed it into the chain wielding thug's chest, sending him slamming against a wall.

"Yo he took out Bobby" said one of the thugs as he watched the thug known as Bobby slump onto the ground. The person they where beating the crap out of saw this as the perfect opportunity to get the hell out of there and quickly took off down the street. The thugs barely noticed that he was gone, they where little more interested in Nightwing rather than a pathetic lawyer.

"Kill this asshole!" yelled the thug with the baseball bat as he charged at Nightwing.

"Party time" smiled Nightwing as he blocked the baseball bat shot and kicked the thug in the chest. He was about to follow up until he was tackled by two of the gang member's and knocked to the ground.

"Eat this pretty boy" growled one of the thugs as he punched Nightwing in the face. The thug trembled as he released that the punch did very little damage to Nightwing.

"My turn smiled Nightwing as he threw the two thugs off his chest and flipped back onto his feet. Nightwing ducked underneath another attempted baseball swing and rammed the point of his bo staff into the thugs chest, the thug coughed as the air rushed from his lungs. Nightwing took advantage of the thugs gasping for air and grabbed him by the coat and threw him against the wall with incredible force. The thug slammed into the wall and screamed in pain as he held one of his arms close to his chest. Nightwing spun round and hit another of the thugs in the face with his bo staff, breaking the large man's nose. The man screamed in pain as blood poured down his face and was punched in the stomach by Nightwing, bringing him down to his knees. Nightwing was about to smash his face again with his bo staff until he stopped and just pushed the thug over and leapt at another of the gang members. One of the gang member's decided he had had enough and tried to run away from the battle but Nightwing saw him and threw a birdarang at the fleeing man, imbedding the sharp points of the weapon into the thugs leg. The man screamed as he fell to the ground and tried to pull the birdarang out but it was imbedded far too deep in his flesh.

"Just you and me now" smiled Nightwing as he pointed the point of his bo staff at the remaining thug. The man looked around him at his fallen comrades and considered running away until he remembered what Nightwing had done to the last person who had tried that.

"Yo man I surrender" stammered the thug as he dropped his weapon and held his hands high in the air.

"You think I care" replied Nightwing as he folded up his bo staff and slowly approached the terrified thug.

"But…but you're the good guy" stammered the thug as he backed away from Nightwing and fell onto his ass.

"How about I cut you a deal?" smiled Nightwing as he pulled out another birdarang and held it close to his face.

"Yo man name it, I'll do anything" stammered the thug as he looked at Nightwing holding the deadly birdarang.

"Tell me where I can find Paine" demanded Nightwing as he grabbed the thug and lifted him off the ground and slammed him against the wall.

"You man if I tell you she'll kill me" replied the thug as he trembled in Nightwing's grip.

"And if you don't I'll kill you" hissed Nightwing s he held the blade of his birdarang dangerously close to the man's neck. The thug screamed in terror as he wet his pants as Nightwing made the blade touch his throat.

"Ok…ok I'll tell you just take away the blade" stammered the thug as he closed his eyes. He sighed a small breath of relief as Nightwing pulled the blade away and tossed him to the ground.

"Talk" ordered Nightwing as he put the birdarang away.

"Yo man she has a hideout on the east side of town, an old warehouse on Jefferson street" replied the thug as he tried to stand back up.

"You had better be telling me the truth" hissed Nightwing as he walked towards the thug, making the man tremble and nearly fall over again.

"I am, dog" stammered the thug as he locked yes with Nightwing. Nightwing could see from his fear that he was telling the truth. He smiled as he pushed his way past the thug and walked towards his motorcycle.

"Pity you won't ever get there" smiled the thug as he pulled out a pistol from his pants and pointed it at Nightwing. In that instant Nightwing spun round and threw his birdarang at the thug's chest. The man coughed once as he felt a sharp pain in his chest, he looked down and saw the curved blade of the weapon sticking into his chest.

"Yo man this isn't cool" he coughed as he raised his hand and pressed it against the area the birdarang was embedded, he slowly removed his hand and saw a red liquid staining his fingers. He looked at Nightwing again before he fell onto his knees and then to the ground.

"I'm sorry" whispered Nightwing under his breath as he put his helmet back on and mounted his motorcycle. He looked down at the carnage he had just caused and sighed sadly before he sped off into the city once again. He didn't care what it cost he was going to save Raven.

Paine walked through her warehouse hideout carrying a large tray in her arms. She stopped outside a large red door that was being protected by two of Slade's robotic minions.

"Step aside" ordered Paine making the two guards take a step away from the door and open it for her. She smiled as she entered the room and saw Raven chained to the wall with a small metal band attached to her head.

"I hope you like your new accommodations?" smiled Paine as she watched Raven open her eyes and look at her.

"What do you want from me?" demanded Raven as she struggled to break free from the chains that held her prisoner.

"Oh I don't want you daddy wanted you" smiled Paine as she poured a glass of water and walked over to Raven, "I hope your thirsty". Raven looked at Paine with her eyebrow raised.

"It's ok it's not poisoned" smiled Paine as she gently poured some of the cool water into Raven's mouth.

"Why are you doing this?" asked Raven as Paine finished pouring the water into her mouth.

"Cause dad told me to" replied Paine as she put the glass back onto the tray and pulled up a chair in front of Raven.

"Why do call him dad?" asked Raven as she looked at Paine, it was had for her to believe that this was the same girl who had given Nightwing a run for his money in a fight.

"Cause he is my dad" replied Paine quickly as she looked into Raven's eyes.

"Don't you care that he murdered your mother and left your brother for dead?" gasped Raven as she looked into Paine's eyes.

"I have no brother!" snarled Paine as she rammed her fist into Raven's stomach, knocking the wind out the empath's body. Raven coughed as she tried to get her breathing to return to normal.

"And as for my mother that bitch got what was coming to her" Paine added before she hit Raven again in the ribs with a punch.

"Seems like a hit a nerve" smiled Raven weakly as she tried to regain her composure, she coughed a few times as she hung limply in her chains.

"Now if you'll excuse me I have to go speak to my father" Paine said calmly as she picked up the tray and left the room. Raven waited until she was sure she was away before she winced in pain. Paine's last punch broke a few of her ribs and the pain was almost unbearable.

"Where are you Nightwing?" she asked the darkness of the room as she coughed and winced at the pain her coughing caused.

"I'm coming Rae just hold on" Nightwing said to himself as he sped through the streets of the city.

"That's right Nightwing come straight to me" laughed Slade as he watched Nightwing's bike speed through the city on the large screen in front of him, his chains rattling gently at his side
