A.E: Damn it's been awhile...

Raven: You're telling me? I was having the greatest vacation. I got to lounge around all day meditating and reading...

A.E.: You can shut up now...

Raven: Whatever.

A.E.: Please Raven...the first disclaimer...in almost 6 months! For me at least!

Raven: A.E. doesn't own a thing...

A.E.: (Face fault) Think you could have been any more enthusiastic?

Raven:...No...

Cyborg: is that my cue?(que?)

A.E.: No I fired you a long time ago...

Cyborg: Oh-kay...well...ONWARD!


I have decided that the original entrance to the Underground will be destroyed. All stairs will be destroyed along with it to avoid all awkward moments...or hours.

Nightwing and I walked down the stairs in silence. Years ago I would have appriciate the silence, but after being on a team with Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo, silence was rare.

At the bottom of the staircase there was a large metal door, of course there was one at every entrance into the city, but this was the first one built. I searched silently through my inner pockets of my cloak for her key card into the city. I walked over to the scanner to scan my hand and the card, and I placed my hand over the black and green scanner.

'Please Insert Key Card, Raven.' Flashed on a small screen above the scanner and a small opening was revealed. I placed the card into position for it to be properly checked.

'State Name, Please.' My eye twitched slightly as a microphone was revealed.

"Raven," I hissed through my teeth, "And guest," I looked over to the screen.

'Voice Confirmed. Welcome Home Raven.' The doors to slide open just enough for two people to walk through, and that's what we did.


Inside The City


"You'll need to see the Justice League before anything else," I told my companion as I lead the way to City Hall. When we arrived the others were waiting outside surronded by a large group of reporters and civilians. They parted as we approached, I made no motion to stop as I walked through the the door into the lobby, followed by everyone that had been outside. Security stopped the reporters and civilians as we began up the stairs. We soon stopped on the third floor and the last door on the left side of the hall. I entered the room quickly without notice to the person inside.

"Batman," I greeted the man behind the desk with a nod. He nodded back and looked at the unfamiliar people people behind me.

"Raven...who are they?"

"Survivors," I replied simply.

"Raven, after two years of searches. No one was found. Now you bring me a group of survivors, whom have all been overlooked in our previous searches. Did you even make sure they're not minions of Slade?" Jinx, Mammoth, Gizmo, and I could tell Batman was enjoying every bit of my slip up.

"Sir, with all do respect," Jinx began, and I groaned inwardly, "In the past two years only five of the twelve searchers came back, all of them were put into an asylum within six months of their return. Maybe, they were overlooked, or maybe our suvivors just didn't want to be found."

Batman gave Jinx a dark glare, "Go down to identification, and get them approved."

We walked out of Batman's office with out a goodbye and made our way to the floor below us to Identification.


A.E.: I know it's short. Please don't hate me. I just wanted eveyone to know that I'm still alive.

Raven: Unfortunatly.

A.E.: I'll try to get the next and longer chapter up before I go to NC, but no promises. I have a lot to do. But maybe alot of reveiws will get me to work faster...(WINKWINKWINK!)

So...REVIEW!
