Chapter 4: A new enemy
••••••••••
The Professor returned the next day at about Noon. The Institute was neat and clean, which made the Professor a little suspicious. Raven was sat on the stairs in the lobby, reading a book.
"Hello Raven." The Professor said.
"Hi." Raven simply said, looking up from her book.
"I'm guessing most of the students are at school?"
"Yep." Raven answered.
"So, where's Logan?" The Professor asked wearily.
"Hang on, let me go get him." Raven said. She put down her book and disappeared into the stairs.
The Professor looked into the lounge to see no one was there. Strange, either Cyborg, Beast Boy or Jak would be there racing but they weren't. He turned his attention to beside him where Raven reappeared with a bound and gagged Logan.
"Here's Logan." Raven said. She helped untie and un-gag Logan, who looked pretty angry.
"I am going to find those brats and teach them to tie me up!" Logan burst out, absolutely fuming.
"Whoa friend, calm down. Who tied and gagged you?" The Professor asked.
"Lil miss half dragon and long ears! Mr. Cyborg and green skin helped too." Logan growled.
"He's been tied up in his room since 6:00pm yesterday." Raven added, she was sat back on the stairs reading her book.
"Let me guess, you told them you were going to train them?" The Professor asked.
"Yea, that's the fifth time this month they've tied me up for telling them they had training." Logan said, folding his arms.
"And I would've thought you'd have gotten the point by now." DarkFlare called down from the ledge she had sat on yesterday. Beside her was Jak. They were both smiling, they were hiding stun guns in their pockets for Logan later.
"You two are so dead!" Logan growled at them.
"You're going to have to catch us first!" DarkFlare said. DarkFlare flew off the ledge and flew out of a window. Jak jumped down and ran down a corridor.
The Professor and Raven watched as Logan decided to go after Jak.
"There was a Party here last night as well. The Institute was a mess afterwards." Raven said, going back to her book.
"There was? Then why is the Institute clean if it was a mess?" The Professor asked. Raven just smiled and continued reading her book.
The Professor raised an eyebrow at Raven, just as Cyborg and Beast Boy appeared at the top of the stairs. They then turned round when they saw the Professor and calmly walked in the direction they had come.
••••••••••
It's was 5:00pm and the Institute was full of students once more. Most of the students were talking about the party from last night.
During the afternoon the Professor had gone to check Logan's room to see it was an absolute mess.
DarkFlare and Jak had disappeared, Logan had lost Jak in the corridors. Right now he was in his room trying to sort it all out.
Just as everyone sat down for dinner, the sound of a flute drifted into the institute. But everyone was at the table except…Jak and DarkFlare.
Up on the roof, Jak and DarkFlare was sat looking at the ocean. DarkFlare was playing the flute, the tune she was playing was beautiful.
DarkFlare stopped when Starfire flew up to them.
"The Professor wishes for you to come down to dinner now." Starfire said.
"Alright, alright, so long as Logan doesn't try to kill us." DarkFlare said, smiling.
"You need not worry, Logan is still in his room trying to clean some toffee off the walls." Starfire said, smiling back.
"Ah yes, I wondered where that hot toffee went." Jak said, grinning. The two followed Starfire back into the Institute and to dinner.

The next day, everyone was at school as usual. Jean and Scott had gone to the beach, the Professor and Logan had gone out of town.
Logan had finally got the point to not try and order DarkFlare and Jak about. This meant DarkFlare and Jak were in charge of the Institute until Jean and Scott returned.
Right now, everyone was in the lounge watching as DarkFlare finally had a go at Cyborg's and Beast Boy's racing game. Surprisingly, she was winning.
Raven, Starfire and Jak were cheering DarkFlare on as Robin supported both BB and Cyborg. But in the end, DarkFlare won.
BB and Cyborg were in disbelief that they had been beaten by a girl! But they weren't go give up and demanded to race DarkFlare again.
While this was going on, someone was standing on the high wall that surrounded the land of the Institute.
The person then jumped off the wall and made their way towards the building.
DarkFlare had beaten BB and Cyborg another two times when Robin noticed someone walking up to the Institute from the lounge window.
Jak had gone up with Robin to look at the person, "I haven't seen him around the institute before. Looks like we have an intruder!" Jak said.
Everyone ran into the lobby and stood ready. Then the doors burst open to reveal…
"Slade!" The Teen Titans chorused.
"It's nice to see you all again, and with some new friends." Slade said.
"I'm sorry, but who is this guy?" DarkFlare asked.
"The name's Slade, I followed the Teen Titans here. And it looks like I got just in time." Slade answered her question.
"Get lost. You're not welcome here." DarkFlare growled. She glanced at Jak who ran off up the stairs and down the corridor at the top.
"Well, I'm not going anywhere." Slade replied, then sent a fireball at the group. They all dodged it and went in for the attack.
DarkFlare's hands and feet changed to dragon-like form as she slashed at Slade and twirled round. Slade had dodged her slashes but her tail connected and sent him flying outside. The Titans followed, using their own attacks. But then DarkFlare grabbed the titans with her tail and pulled them in as metal doors shut round the institute. Every window and door that was on the outside walls were closed off by metal doors.
"That was close. He won't be able to get in now. Those doors are able to prevent anything that tries to get in." DarkFlare explained. She had done drills with the rest of the Institute with these metal doors. They were one of the best security defenses in the world.
Jak soon joined them and nodded that he had put the outside security on. Now Slade had to deal with all the weapons that were hidden around the grounds.
"What now?" Starfire asked.
"Now, we wait for outside contact from anyone from the Institute." DarkFlare said, looking to Jak who held up a black walkie talkie.
