Thunder.
Kim gasped and looked at the black smoke rising from the remnants of her house. Her green eyes widened with horror, her jaw went slack, and her body hunched.
"Ohmigod," she breathed. "Raven! My house!"
"I know," Raven said shakily. "But we need to get to your family to safety."
"What about…?"
"He's a survivor," Raven said, barely able to mask her worry.
Raven soared over Middleton and then dove toward a four-door sedan. She pulled Kim into her Soul Self as the black, bird shaped aura surrounded her. The witch enveloped the car with her magic and the entire car vanished from the street. The aura vanished, and Raven and the confused Possibles were standing on the street. A second clap of muted thunder echoed in the distance.
Dr. Possible and the Twins looked up at Kim and their rescuer.
"Hey…" Jim started.
"Aren't you…" Tim continued, and then they said together, "Raven?"
Raven said nothing but narrowed her dark eyes.
"Hick-a-bick-a-boo?"
"Hooshaw!"
"Thank you, um, Raven is it?" Dr. Possible said.
"Your car was bombed by Slade," Raven said. "As was your house."
"My… house?" Dr. Possible's eyes widened. "Anne!"
"Dad, she'll be okay," Kim soothed, "Officer Hobble is evacuating the hospital and the rocket lab right now. These bombs went off early."
Dr. Possible grabbed his daughter and hugged her tightly.
"Dad," Kim complained, but her father only hugged her tighter.
Raven flew the Possibles back to their house, only to find it a terrible pile of rubble. Kim patted the young witch's shoulder, not knowing what to say. The red head told her family that Robin was in the house when it exploded, and she was lost for words.
Raven closed her eyes and extended her senses once more. She searched the rubble for any sign of life, but nothing. At the back of her mind, she heard Slade's vicious laughter. Tears began running down her cheeks.
"No, no, no, no, no," she cried. The young witch fell to her knees and hid under her cloak. Kim knelt beside her.
"Raven?" Kim said softly pulling the girl's hood back.
"I… I can't sense Robin," Raven sobbed.
Despite their father's objections, Jim and Tim Possible were already rummaging through the debris, searching for whatever they could find.
"It's my fault!" Raven said coldly. She pounded the ground with her fist as her tears became filled with rage. "I shouldn't have distracted him with that stupid radio call. Slade…" Raven's eyes shimmered with tearful fury.
The Twins soon reappeared holding the tatters of a black, yellow lined cape. The young witch snarled and her eyes glowed red. Kim thought she could make out a second set of eyes appearing on Raven's forehead.
"Raven!" Kim called, shaking Raven by the shoulders. "We'll find Slade and make him pay."
Raven closed her eyes and choked back her rage. She reopened her tear filled violet eyes and took deep shuddering breaths. She looked up at the young red head whose green eyes were filled with grim determination.
"For Robin," Kim stated and held out her hand.
