(Okay, the very last word about Larry: Nosyarg Kcid is still out there, but Larry, which BB named him, is gone for now!
The little girl, who messed the things up, is one of the characters in these four stories, but much more about that later in the series. Not everything/everyone is that it/they seems like in this series. Read my bio for more information about the next stories in The Phoenix series.
Raven okay? Well, I don't know, but I can say so much, that she is going to do something, which you are going to hate her for, but much more about that later in this story. - JoBO)
The Big Boys' League
The smoke cleared after some minuets and revealed an empty roof. Cyborg ran over to where Raven and DarkRobin had been standing, but there was no trace of them. He scanned the area for clues to where they could be, but he didn't found any. He sat down on the roof of the ventilation shaft and cast a glance over at Beast Boy, who was completely overwhelm with what just had happen.
"BB, are you alright?"
To Cyborg worries didn't the young boy answer him, but changed into a bird and fly away.
"Great…"
He stood up and walked over to the edge of the roof as Beast Boy disappeared between the clouds.
"… What in the heck is going on? Everyone is acting totally crazy today!"
o-
His communicator began to crackle.
"Cyborg?"
It was Robin.
"Where have you taken Raven, your impostor?"
"Raven? What has happened to her?"
The anger rose in him.
"As you don't know!"
Robin didn't answer him at once. Cyborg stared down on the communicator and was ready for a battle in words, but then Robin came back.
"I had hoped it wouldn't come to this. Starfire has just woke up, so I will come after you now."
Cyborg was surprised. This Robin must be his friend.
"Starfire? Is she with you?"
"Yes, she is alright."
Cyborg could hear the happiness in his friend's voice. He was now sure. This Robin was his friend.
"I will wait for you!"

He typed the code in, so the door opened and revealed a hidden hallway behind the bookcase. He walked down to the very last door and opened it with another code. Inside the room was a girl sitting on a bed. She pulled away from him, as he came into the room and laid Raven on the bed.
"Who is she?"
He walked over to the girl, who tried to run away from him, but he grabbed her arm.
"Take care of her and if she …"
He tightened the grip.
"…escapes, then you will have to pay for it, Little Robyn!"
He let go of her and she felt down on the floor, where she began to cry. Between the tears she looked up on him with pleading eyes.
"Please, just do it! You have already killed my soul by imprison me here for months. Why doesn't you just finish what you have begun?"
He sat down next to her and pulled her up in her hair.
"I really can't see, what my brother sees in you, but he is…"
Her eyes lightened and she scratched him in the face with her nails.
"Don't ever talk about Jake like that!"
He took his hand up to his cheek and discovered he was bleeding. The anger rose in him and he threw her over on the bed.
"Bitch! Take care of her or else I will kill your loverboy!"
First her eyes went big, but then she began to laugh. He jumped over to her and pinned her down to the bed, but she didn't stop.
"Stop it!"
He slapped her in the face, but she kept laughing.
"You envy him. He is what you wanted to be! Just like you wants to be Batman, but still you are just a boy in tights!"
He slapped her one more time, but this time it was so hard, that she lost consciousness. Surprised over his own actions he jumped back like he had been burnt. For a second he just stood there and looked at the two girls, but then he walked out of the room with hasty steps and closed the door securely behind him.
o-
"Cyborg, where is Beast Boy?"
Cyborg powered up his forearm and aimed it at Robin, who came walking over to him.
"Don't take one more step, if you like your life!"
Robin stopped and put his arms up.
"Cy, it is me!"
Cyborg wasn't completely convinced and he didn't like to be fooled twice in one day.
"How can I be sure?"
Robin sighted.
"I knew, this was going to happened, so I asked Starfire to make this to you."
Slowly he took something from his belt and threw it over to Cyborg, who caught it. It was a letter. Cyborg opened it and recognized Starfire's writings, which convinced him and he lowered his forearm. He sighted and sat down on the roof of the ventilation shaft.
"Sorry."
Robin walked over to his friend.
"It's okay. I had the same surprise, when I saw him the first time."
"Who is he?"
Robin looked around with a worried look in his eyes.
"I will prefer not telling you the story here, so it would be good if you would call BB, so we can get away from here and back to the others."
The hope rose in Cyborg.
"Raven?"
Robin shook his head.
"No, where is Beast Boy?"
Cyborg pointed up on the sky.
"He just left after Rob…the other guy took Raven."
o-
That bitch!
He followed with his fingers the wounds, which her nails had made in his face, as he looked at himself in the mirror.
Even after so long was she still as fury as she had been in the beginning. He remembered the first time he had seen her. He had spotted her in the crowed immediately - Red hair, blue eyes and a body, which men would kill for. He had hated her even before he knew who she was. He brother's girlfriend! She had taken Jake away from him, so he had to kill her, but in the end he couldn't do it. Therefore he faked her dead. It was now just a matter of time, before Jake was going to return to him.
A bleeping sound called him back to the reality and he walked over and answered the videophone. The face of a woman came up on the screen.
"Red Claw."
"Robin, didn't I ask you to do a little thing for me?"
There was nothing to see in her face, but he knew she was angry.
"I'm nothing going to do your dirty work anymore! Why doesn't you just kill her yourself?"
For a second it looked like there where a trace of feelings in Red Claw's face, but then she gained control over herself again.
"Young Miss. Gordon have been so smart to sent small parts of the evidence, that she have gather, to the police. I'm not willing to take the chance of letting one of my men kill her – just so they can trace it back to me."
DarkRobin turned around and tried to look like he was working on something, so he couldn't see how surprised he was over her openness.
"So you want me to take the fall instead?"
"No, only you can do this job. You are the best."
He turned around and looked her straight into the eyes.
"Thanks for the kind words, but I'm not going to do it. Don't have the time for it:"
This time couldn't Red Claw hide her anger, but she quickly was able to control herself again and smiled.
"Dick, you are playing in the big boys' league now. You DO this job or else you have to arrange your brother's funeral."
DarkRobin couldn't hide his surprise.
"You know!"
Red Claw smiled and ended the transmission.
