It had been half an hour or so since Breen had left Raven to ponder over his final words to her. There were so many questions that were buzzing through her head. "How does he know my father?" "Why did he call me 'sister'?" Those were just a few of the questions that she had in her mind.

As she kept on pondering these ideas and notions, she heard a latch click and her iron maiden opened up. She wondered who had let her out, as if she needed another unanswerable question running through her head. There was no time for this; she took her moment of opportunity and left Breen's office and save her friends. Two Combine Elites spotted her as she left the office.

"How the hell did she get out?" one of the Elites asked.

"I don't know," the other responded. "I'm calling for backup."

Raven ran for the nearest exit and found a corner; she turned it to see several Combine Soldiers and Elites coming towards her. "I don't have time for this," she exclaimed. "Azarath Metrion…"

Two pink, quadrupedal demons with robotic hind quarters busted through the walls and attacked the Combine Soldiers. "That was easy," Raven said triumphantly.

The two Elites that were following Raven fired their OSI pulse rifles at the Pinkies, but they were faster and they overcame the Elites. "I guess I should get out of here," Raven said as the Pinkies devoured the Combine's that were there.

She flew down to the next level down, where five Combine Soldiers and a giant robot that resembled a mosquito and had three legs stood there as if they were lying in wait for her. The Soldiers fired their pulse rifles at her and the mosquito tank started lumbering towards her. "Great," Raven said sadly, "just great."

The tank took three steps and, before it put one of its tripod foot down, just stopped before splitting in two. "Uh, what just happened?" one of the Soldiers asked.

"Fear not, Junior Justice Buddy," a voice so eerily familiar said, "I'll protect you; for I am Batman."

"Oh great," a Soldier said, "It's Adam West."

West landed right between Raven and the Soldiers and said, "If you want this girl, you'll have to go through me….wait, that didn't come out right."

Raven scooted nervously towards West and said, "I'm with Crazy."

"That biography was unauthorized," West said to Raven.

The Soldiers came in closer to the two. "Looks like I'll have to take out the trash," Adam West stated, using that horrible cliché, as he faced the Soldiers.

He punched one in the stomach; "BAM!" He elbowed one in the face; "POW!" He bashed two Soldier's heads together; "WAM!" He kicked the final one in the groin; "NUTS!"

All five Soldiers were writhing in pain which provided a chance for them to escape. They landed on the next level below with no Soldiers on it or those walking tanks. Raven told West what happened, who completely ignored her by the way, and he said, "Y'know, we should team up together and fight these villainous villains."

"Isn't that redundant?" she asked West, referring to the 'villainous villains' statement.

"You're a sharp kid," He told Raven and brought her in closer to whispering distance; he said, "Listen, you'd be perfect to play opposite me as: Robin, Boy Wonder…and I don't say that to just anyone."

"First of all," Raven started out, "I'm a girl. Secondly, you said that to Robin about an hour ago."

"In Hollywood, we don't discriminate based on gender; we discriminate based on religion."

All of a sudden, two doctors in white coats came over and one said, "Time to go ni-nite Mister West."

Adam West hissed and said, "Adam West goes ni-nite when Adam West feels like ni-nite." He grabbed his grappling gun, fired it and said to Raven, "Sorry kid, you're on your own…by the way, you gotta get one of these things; I have one because I'm a star."

West flew away on his grappling gun with the doctors following saying, "Why do we always have to deal with the crazy ones?"

Raven headed off, feeling that she was better off by herself. She came across a few Stalkers who shuddered at her presence; she didn't want to deal with them because they were no real threat. She kept escalating down until she came across two Combine soldiers; one had blue eyelets and the other had yellow eyelets. She hid from them and listened to the conversation that they were having.

"The four prisoners are ready, are they not, Private?" the Soldier with the blue eyelets asked.

"Yes, Sergeant; they will be ready to become Stalkers in a few minutes," the other said.

"You dolt! We're not changing them into Stalkers; we're changing them into Hell Hunters."

"But Breen said…"

"Breen had a change in plans; the Stalkers thing was just a cover-up for the prisoner, who has escaped by some means."

"We're looking into that. However, sir, isn't changing them into Hell Hunters a bit…"

"Don't question mine or Breen's orders, Goddamit! We're doing what Breen wants and that's final! Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good, now we have to report to Delta Labs 1A. Do you think you can do this or does this seem unethical?"

"Yes, sir; I can do this."

"Good, now get going."

Raven heard every word of this. "That bastard," she exclaimed in a whisper, "he's not going to turn them into Stalkers; he's going to turn them into demons, high class ones at that." She rushed behind the two Soldiers and followed them to Delta Labs 1A, undetected, to the back and into the next room. What she saw almost made her scream: the other Titans were bound to operating chairs, unconscious, not to mention the floor was crimson red. In the room was an Elite with operating tools next to him.

"Are the subjects ready yet?" the Sergeant asked.

"Almost, sir," the Elite replied. "We just need the Hellknight DNA samples; Corporal Reichard should bring them up soon."

"She'd better or there will be…" the Sergeant said pausing before finishing his sentence, "…Hell to pay."

The Combine in the room broke out in laughter, recognizing the irony in the Sergeant's comment. "Breen will be pissed when he finds out what happened to that demon girl," the Elite said.

"I know, but that's why we don't tell him," the Sergeant said. "Besides: what Breen doesn't know won't hurt him."

The walls started turning black; the Soldiers and Elite looked around to find the source of all this, wondering what was going on. The Sergeant turned around to see Raven in her state of anger. "How the…" were his last words before Raven choked him with her telekinetic powers and killed him; his tank flat lining could be heard throughout the Lab.

She turned to the other soldier who said, "Oh shi…" His oxygen tank flat lined.

The Elite tried to use his secondary fire on his pulse rifle on her but she was faster; his tank flat lined like the Soldiers before him. Raven calmed herself down a bit, released her friends from their chairs, got out of there to the ground floor.
