RR76: I apoligize in advance for this chapter.

Responses:

Queenie: SHHHHH! You'll give away the plot! Foreshadowment should have been caught... hope it was.

im in a kill people mood: Swords are cool, aren't they?

Fourthelement: Enjoy the llama. That was partly born out of my Terra hatingness, but I had to have pain come unto her.

SaintH: Plot's thick as...um...really really thick...stuff...yeah. Like blood.

The Wild Ambition: I can't think of anything to say either! AAAAAAAAHHHHH! I'm INSANE! Wait, I already knew that!

Don't own, don't sue, don't flame. Or I'll unleash Zucco the Moo Cow upon you!

Terra sat on her couch and turned on her laptop. She went on the internet (not mine) to Yahoo (also not mine) to her email account. She looked in her adress book for the adress "ds the T" and noticed the smiley face indicating that he was on. She went on IM and opened a session with him. It went something like this...

ds the T: Good evening.

rockyhorror: somethings after me.

ds the T: I see...

Terra waited a moment, expecting Slade (if you haven't figured it out already...) to say something. When he didn't she typed in something else.

rockyhorror: what do u want me 2 do?

ds the T: Capitalize on it.

(ds the T has signed out)

Terra shut down her laptop and leaned back against the couch. Capitalize on it?

What the hell did that mean?

"...all we know is that someone is after Terra, possibly all of us. Beyond that, no details," Robin was telling the team (which had assembled in the living room, to the not so bright).

"And speaking of the Blonde wonder," Raven said dryly, "Where is she?"

"She has a name, Raven," Beast Boy muttered.

"Right, sorry. Which do you prefer 'Drool Monkey' or 'Vapid Whore?"

"Shut up! WHY DO YOU HATE HER?"

"Both of you sit down; this is not the time or the place for this discussion!" Robin roared. The two quarrling Titans quieted and sat down.

"Honestly guys, there's an assassin in the Tower trying to impale us, and you two can't stop arguing for five minutes. Can't you just put aside your jealousy for five seconds Raven?"

"I am NOT jealous!" Raven snapped, blushing. The others chuckled but Robin silenced them with a glare. "Work with me guys. We've dealt with infiltrations before, this is no differant--" a bullet struck the window behind him, shattering it into a million tiny fragments.

"Get down!" Cyborg shouted, diving behind the couch with the others. More windows shattered around them, the gunshots coming from the doorway. A figure stood there, draped in a black cloak, arm outstretched, a gun in his hand (sorry im in a kill people mood). A black mask covered his face.

"Cyborg, give me some cover fire," Robin hissed. Cyborg nodded and peeked over the couch at the intruder. He brought up his sonic cannon and fired a shot, hitting the intruder in the chest, knocking him back. Robin jumped out from behind his cover and drew his staff.

Robin entered the hallway cautiously, weapon thrust out ahead of him. He flicked on a light and looked down to see a gun discarded on the floor. That's... interesting, he thought. What kind of assassin just leaves behind his weapon at the scene of the crime? As if to answer his question, something jumped out at him from a side door, knocking him to the ground. He drew a knife and brought it down, aiming for Robin's heart. Robin blocked the blow and kicked his attacker off of him. The two stared at each other before the attacker kicked Robin back and took off running down the hall, dropping the knife as he went.

Robin got to his feet and walked to the discarded knife, picking it up. The other Titans came running up behind him.

Starfire rushed to Robin's side. "Are you injured?" she asked. Robin shook his head.

"You guys recognize this?" he asked, presenting the knife. The blade was seperated into two parts, a longer blade in front of a shorter blade. It was dark shade of purple with the forward blade curved wickedly. "It was in the evidence room. Belonged to an old aquaintence of ours."

Terra chose that moment to come running in. "I heared fighting, is everyone okay?"

"Sorry Terra, you're just the slightest bit TOO LATE. WHERE WERE YOU?" Raven snarled.

"Some guy came in and got a little trigger happy," said Beast Boy, giving Raven a look.

"Okay team, this assassin guy is definately armed and dangerous, ("you'd just noticed?" muttered Raven) meaning that none of us is safe alone. I suggest we divide into twos and search this tower top to bottom. Starfire, you're with me, we'll take the upper floors and the roof. Raven, Terra, you two take middle floors, Beast Boy and Cyborg, the lower ones, including the basement. Any questions?" Raven raised her hand. "Do I really have to be paired with forehead gal?" (A/N: She does have a big forehead...in my opinion.)

As the Titans went about their tasks, a figure stared after them from the living room. He smirked at the retreating figure of Terra. "Soon, girl. No matter how hard you try, you cannot outrun your fate. For Hell itself has come to claim you." A flame surrounded him and he disappeared in the shadow of the night.

RR76: That thing about the apology? I take it back, this is probably the best chapter I've written in my 10 months on this site, counting Past Tense and Code Lyoko Insanity (the series). Review please.
