Review Responses:

lostNfuzed: Yeay. My fight scenes are good. I will dance...

Queen-Of-Azerath: Yeah... too predictable. I don't got anything against Star, preposity aside. Stupid curtains made it impossible for me to hate her.

Poopy Penguin: I think it was just a third round pick, actually.

im in a mood to kill people: Shiny things are cool... ha. Nice work with the russian thing... if you're still alive that is.

fourthelement: He's not evil. He's just a guy trying to make a living the only way he knows how.

The Wild Ambition: "...and sprayed bullets into Terra the anerexic bitch stick from hell."

Don't own, don't sue, don't flame.


Carson ran up another flight of stairs, dodging a flurry of starbolts as he went. He came to a door and threw it open, stepping inside. Or rather, outside. The door led to the celing. He looked around, scanning his battleground for potential weapons, seeing only a couple poles used to attatch a net for volleyball. He stepped away from the door and pulled out an old-fashioned watch on a gold chain, pressing a button at the top. The watch made a beeping noise and he put it back in his pocket.

The door behind him exploded and Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg burst through, Raven phasing through the celing. "End of the line, traitor," said Raven darkly.

Carson slowly turned around to face his enemies. "Traitor? That kind of talk hurts, Raven. I was never a Titan, or any of your friend. You have your own selves to blame for my infiltration." As he spoke, he subtly began to remove his revolver from it's holster. "No surprise Robin couldn't do anything to stop me. He's not a real hero- just a kid playing dress-up trying to be like his-" Starfire shouted something in Tameranian and flew at Carson. He smirked, raised his gun and fired off one shot.

Starfire fell to the ground, clutching her side. Dark red blood seeped through her fingers, her expression one of immense pain and fury. Carson's smirk grew and prepared to fire a second shot when Cyborg's blue sonic cannon hit him in the chest, sending him flying backward. He landed on the far side with a grunt.

The other Titans were at Starfire's side in an instant. "Hold still," Raven said. "I may be able to stop the bleeding." She began to use her powers to remove the bullet and heal the wound when a knife flew through the air and lodged itself in Cyborg's left arm, sending sparks shooting in all directions. The Titans turned their attention back to Carson as he ripped a pole off the ground... ceiling... whatever and held it out like a staff. "Can we get on with this?" he said, bored. "I do have somewhere I need to be, you know."

"That wouldn't happen to be Hell, by any chance?" Raven growled, her eyes glowing white. Cyborg fired his sonic cannon again. Carson jumped out of the way and the cannon blew a hole in the ground where he was standing. Beast Boy turned into a tiger and leaped at Slade's agent, claws outstretched. Carson swung his makeshift staff and hit Beast Boy in his side. He looked up to see Cyborg charging at him, firing his sonic cannon wildly. Carson dodged every shot and jumped into the air, coming down behind Cyborg. Cybrog turned around and began to punch wildly at his opponent. Carson stepped out of the way of the first punch, grabbed Cyborg's arm and hurled him off of the Tower into the bay.

He turned his attention to Raven, who was still busy healing Starfire. He ran towards her but was struck in the back of the head by a massive green fist. Carson stumbled forward and turned around to see Beast Boy in the form of a gorilla. Beast Boy roared and punched at Carson. He knocked the blow aside and punched back, hitting Beast Boy in the chin. Carson thrust the pole forward and hit him in the stomach, knocking him backwards a few steps. Carson, gaining the upped hand, charged at Beast Boy again, hitting him first in the neck and then in the hip with the pole. He continued his flurry of swings, keeping Beast Boy on the defensive, backing him farther back until the came to the edge of the ceiling.

Carson's hand shot forward and grabbed Beast Boy's neck. The shapeshifter returned to his normal form and struggled as Carson held him over the ten story drop to the rocks below. He got a strange feeling and turned around slowly to be face to face with a rock carved psychically into a spike, surrounded by a black aura. "Hurt him and you die," he heard a voice thick with rage say.

A small smile lit up Carson's face. "Ah. I see..." he said smugly.

"I mean it! Put him down!" Raven snarled.

The smile grew and Carson turned back to the struggling Beast Boy. "As you wish..." he said, menace dripping from every word. He released his grip on Beast Boy and let him fall, absorbing the disbelieving scream that followed. Carson quickly ducked under the spike and rolled to avoid the shots of dark energy, each one keeping him on edge. Raven flew straight at Carson and fired another blast. Carson dodged, then once again went on the offensive, swinging his staff in a flurry of blows at Raven. Raven could only dodge or stop the blows with a quick screen of energy. But as it wore on the swings came quicker with less time in between, Carson seeming to gain energy and was quickly gaining the upper hand, backing Raven to the edge as he had done with Beast Boy.

When they got to the edge Raven encased herself in a shell and let Carson pound away with the staff. She knew the barrier wouldn't hold forever. Sooner or later it would falter, and it seemed like it would be sooner as Carson hailed down blows onto the barrier. Finally it shattered and Carson swung his staff down without missing a beat, hitting Raven in the cheek. Raven fell down and stared up at Carson in terror as he once again pulled his trademark weapon from it's holster. She tried to gather her power for another blast, but couldn't, most of her power having been used up during the earlier fight.

Carson cocked the hammer and lowered the gun down to point blank range at Raven's forehead. "Quoth the Raven," he said mockingly, "Nevermore."

He pulled the trigger.


RR76: Cliff. Hanger. I swear this fight scene sounded better when I first thought of it. Tell me whatcha think.
