Chapter 12

Fighting for Raven

Nightwing silently snuck up on another of Slade's robot guards and rammed his bo staff through the things face. He didn't like this sort of fight, he preferred a stand up battle not one where he had to sneak around. But he knew that there was far to many enemies to take down all by himself so he had to go with the stealth approach. Where is she? he thought as he ducked out of the sight of several gang members. He folded up his bo staff and used the shadows to hide his presence as he slowly crept down the corridor.

"Wonder what's behind door number one?" he asked himself as he stopped outside a large green door. He reached into his belt and pulled out a small black box and opened it, the box contained various lock picking tools. He occasionally looked over his shoulder as he picked the lock, he smiled as he heard a quiet clicking noise and slowly opened the door. He sighed and slapped himself in the head once he released he had found his way into the warehouse toilet. He grumbled silently under his breath as he left the room and snuck down another corridor.

"What's the matter Nightwing are you lost?" asked a voice from nowhere but yet everywhere. He stopped in his tracks and looked around him to see where the voice came from. He smiled and shook his head in defeat as he noticed a small security camera watching him.

"Where are you Slade?" he growled as he looked up at the camera.

"You'll just have to find out won't you" said Slade's voice again in a very cheerful tone, "Oh and I would hurry up I wouldn't want to keep your little Raven waiting" he said as Raven's screams and cries could be heard in the distance.

"I swear Slade if you touch a single hair on her head I'll kill you!" hissed Nightwing as he threw a birdarang and the camera and sprinted off down the corridor.

Slade laughed as the screen he was watching went to static.

"That's right Nightwing come straight to me" laughed Slade as he walked up to where Raven was bound and slowly ran his gloved hand across her face.

"What do want from me?" screamed Raven as she tried to squirm away from Slade's touch. Slade just smiled inside his mask and removed his hand from her face.

"You're my bait to lure little Nightwing straight to me" replied Slade as he looked into Raven's eyes, he could sense that she was afraid and he liked that.

"Nightwing will kill you" smiled Raven as she looked into Slade's inhuman eyes, a sudden look of hope had crept into her eyes. Slade didn't like this new look and quickly slapped Raven across the face with incredible force. Raven would have went flying across the room except for the fact that she was chained to the wall.

"No my dear I'll kill him" smiled Slade as he turned and walked away from Raven, his chains rattled as he walked. Raven physically trembled as she watched Slade disappear into the shadows, she trembled because she believed him.

Nightwing was getting more and more frustrated as he kicked through another door. He quickly ducked as one of Slade's goons leapt at him and crashed into the wall behind him.

"Where are you Slade?" roared Nightwing as he blocked an attempted punch and buried his knee into the thug's stomach. He didn't have much time to think as a couple a dozen of Slade's robotic minions poured into the corridor in front and behind him.

"I thought I would send some of my friends to keep you company while you looked" came Slade's voice from a loud speaker above Nightwing's head. Nightwing growled as he threw another birdarang at the speaker and looked at the approaching robots.

"This is going to be little bit more difficult than I thought" smiled Nightwing as he pulled out his bo staff and leapt at the first of robots that had charged him.

Cyborg turned the T van sharply around another street corner. Everyone sitting in the back seats flew to one side squashing Beast Boy against the window.

"Dude watch it!" complained Beast Boy as he peeled his face off of the window.

"Yeah man calm down" smiled Speedy as he helped pick Hotspot off the floor.

"I can't calm down, not until we get Nightwing and Rae safely home" replied Cyborg as he flew round another corner and ignored all the complaints from everybody in the back seats. Starfire had a worried look on her face as she looked out of her window and watched the buildings go past really quickly.

"You ok honey?" asked Beast Boy as he nudged her knocking her out of her trance.

"Truthfully I am not" replied Starfire as she looked at Beast Boy. Beast boy smiled as he placed his arm over her shoulder and brought her closer to his body.

"What's the matter?" he asked as she rested her head against his chest and listened to his heart beat.

"I am afraid that something bad is about to happen" whispered Starfire as she looked once again into her husbands eyes. Beast Boy could see a great sadness in those pools of emerald and gently kissed her on the forehead.

"Don't worry everything is going to be just fine, trust me" he smiled as he winked at her.
"I hope so" smiled Starfire as she closed her eyes and resumed listening to beast Boy's heart beating.

Nightwing groaned in pain as he pushed one of destroyed robot guards off of his body and used his bo staff to stand back up. His uniform was in tatters and his breathing was short and fast. He smiled weakly as he limped through the wreckage of the destroyed Slade bots.

"I'm coming Raven" was all he kept saying as he used the walls to help him stagger down the corridor towards a large black and red door.

Genesis fell to her knees as she appeared inside her personal chamber's in Gehenna.

"I'm glad to be home" she said weakly as she stood back and walked towards a large pool of steaming water. She smiled as she lowered herself into the pool and allowed the water to cover her body u to head.

"Now this feels nice" she said as she closed her eyes and allowed the warm water to take away her pain.

"Having a bath are we?" asked a familiar voice making Genesis eyes snap open. Genesis smiled as she closed her eyes once again and took a deep breath.

"Yes, now do you mind Raziel?" she smiled as she opened one of her eyes and looked at vampire wraith that was crouching in front of her.

"Not at all" replied Raziel as he watched Genesis use her power to drop some of the water onto her head.

"How is everything in the land of death?" asked Genesis as she opened her eyes and looked at Raziel, since the death of Chaos Raziel had become the new god of death.

"Hell is how you say hell" smiled Raziel as Genesis wiped the water away from her eyes.

"I know the envoy has been returned to earth and Trigon has been killed" replied Genesis as she looked up at Raziel and motioned for him to sit.

"What of the saviour, is he ok?" asked Raziel as he sat crossed legged directly in front of Genesis.

"I don't know his future is shrouded in shadows and death" sighed Genesis as she stood up and stepped out of the water. Raziel stood up and turned his back to the goddess as she dried herself.

"What do we do now life giver?" asked Raziel as he kept his back turned to Genesis.

"We wait and see" replied Genesis as she placed one of her hands on Raziel's shoulder. Raziel looked at her and smiled slightly s he rested one of his claws on top of her hand.

Slade smiled as the door to his chamber was sent flying across the room.

"Ahh Nightwing so glad you could make it" he said as he turned and saw a battered and tired Nightwing standing in the door way.

"Where is she?" demanded Nightwing as he staggered into the room and pointed the tip of his bo staff directly at Slade. Slade just nodded and pointed his own bo staff towards the wall Raven was chained to. Nightwing was about to walk over to her until he noticed that Paine was standing beside her holding a knife to Raven's throat.

"Let her go Slade this is between me and you!" yelled Nightwing as he glared at Slade once again.

"I'll think about it!" replied Slade as he entered his fighting stance and looked at Nightwing, he held his bo staff behind his back.

"Better think quick then" smiled Nightwing as he prepared for his battle against Slade.
