Here is the next chapter, I guess it came earlier then before...

For you people who are confused about whether the Assassins have warp-holing powers or something, they don't have powers, but they do have advanced technology on their belts that alow them to warp-hole. Oh, and I'm not sure if Demille really is Madame Rouge's real name.Kapeesh?

It was training day.

All day before, the girls had gone to the weight rooms and challenging each other to a weaponless one-on-one combat. The boys traained by sparring against each other as well, but they had to do so in the main gym, no technology or fancy-shmancy stuff whatsoever.

Raven had chosen to sparr against Starfire, and was overpowering her little by little, despite the alien-like strength Star possessed. Instead, Raven used her strength as an advantage. Whenever Star sent a kick at her way, Raven would dodge, grab her leg and toss her over her head as she did to Robin the day before. What was special about Raven's fighting strategies was that, though she didn't have a lot of strength as Star did, she had luck, brains and agility. In fact, it was Raven who came up with the basic fighting pattern that had worked almost everytime while in weaponless combat.

Jinx was in the weight room, lifting weights. She was able to lift90 lbs, but was upset about the massive amount she could lift despite how much it showed off her strength. Everyday she would push herself farther and farther.

Bee was running laps in the track. She loved running. She loved the wind through her short shoulder-length brown hair. She loved feeling her leg muscles ripple through her legs. She loved the feeling of air up her nose.

She smirked.

'Maybe I should challenge Flash to a race some time,' she thought.

Bee stopped running to catch her breath. 'I'll go to the weight room and see what's cracking,' she thought, and after a quick dash with her yellow towel, she adjusted her black training sneakers and jogged off to the weight room.

'Besides, I could use a little arm-strengthening...'

Terra was in the private pool, trying to relax and wondering why she had let the green boy, BB, live. 'I mean, he's a cop and I'm a villain! We are total opposites! Cops and villains don't mix. Right?' Right. She did a flip under water and kicked herself off the edge of the pool and into a back stroke. She sighed and her light-blue swimsuit rose up and down from her heavy breath. 'I guess that swimming isn't helping...I guess I'll just go do pull-ups in the weight room...'

Raven had finally defeated Starfire and the two were now going to the weight room."Raven, you are getting better everyday! You will soon be better than me!" Starfire said, patting Raven's slim shoulder. Raven smiled and flexed her arm muscles. "Yea, I guess I'll be getting better now and then..." she dropped her arms and adjusted her black training tank top and jogged off with Starfire beside her.

All five girls met in the weight room. Wordlessly, they nodded to each other in silent greeting and went off. Raven started with the third-to-lightest weights, which weighed about70 lbs. Laying down on the little hospital-style lift beside Jinx, she began to lift the weight again and again. She glanced over at Jinx's weights, her eyes searching for the little number that said how much the weight weighed. The number read 95 lbs. "95 pounds? Wow, you're starting to push yourself," Raven said.

Jinx stuck her tongue out in response and got up.

"I can lift 95 lbs now, I'm going to try 100," Jinx replied. Raven put her weights down. "Me too, I'm going to jump to 90;70 is too easy to lift," she said. Not bothering to move, she tapped a few numbers in the screen that was attached to the side of the lift and a 90 lbs weight was put by machinery on a set of weight holders above her. Grasping the weight, she used her foot to press the button that willed the weight holder to let the weight go. She was surprised at how easily she was able to lift the weight. Again she transferred to a100 lbs weight and again it was very light for her.

Holding her breath as she grasped a 105 lbs weight, she let it out as the weight holder let go. This weight was slightly challenging, but she kept lifting and lowering.

Suddenly, a cry rang out in the room.

Raven nearly dropped her weight.

The cry was from Jinx.

Raven hurriedly put her weights away, being sure to turn off the monitor, before running over to where she heard the cry. The others had already arrived. Jinx was crushed underneath a 100 lbs weight. Raven gasped and lifted the weight off Jinx. Jinx's eyes were slightly filmd over. There was a large bruise on her neck and her hands had rust all over them. Her face was slightly purple from loss of air. Raven watched helplessly as Jinx's face returned to normal. Jinx's eyes came back to reality for a moment, then closed heavily.

Raven lifted her friend up and ran off to Demille with Star, Beeand Terra at her heels. "Terra, get Wilson- we're going to have to cancel today's sparring," Raven threw over her shoulder. Terra nodded and veered to the right at the next turn, running faster than before. (BTW- Wilson is Slade's last name, and no, I didn't make that up.)

Terra burst into Slade's office, gasping and sputtering. Slade turned around from his super computer, eyes wide. "Terra? What happened?" Terra could only half-stammer, half-splutter. "Jinx... weight room... weight... crushed... Jinx... 100... pounds... weird... scary... help..." When Slade heard the words 100 pounds, weight room, crushed and Jinx, he figured it out. "Take me to her," he commanded to Terra. Tera nodded and flew out the door, Slade at her heels.

Meanwhile, Raven, Bee and Demille were in the medical room, checking Jinx for anything bad. The boys were also crowded in the room looking scared, especially Flash. Raven noticed with a start as she put a hand to Jinx's forehead that Jinx's skin had gone even paler then usual. Raven took her pigtails out and laid her head down on the small pink pillow. Seeing Flash's worry, she smiled reassuringly. "She'll be fine," she said. "She was just pushing herself at weight-lifting too much." Flash nodded in relief.

Robin watched curiously as Raven tenderly cared for her friend. 'I thought that villains don't care about each other! I thought that they can't care at all!' he thought in dismay.

Later, while the girls and boys excluding Raven and Robin tended to every single whim that Jinx made, Robin had a talk with Raven.

"Aren't you a villain?" Robin spoke up suddenly.

Raven looked up, startled. "Of course I am!"

"Then how do you care for Jinx like that? Aren't villains supposed to be heartless?"

Robin bit his tongue remorsefully. 'Oops,' he thought.

However, Raven remained calm.

"Think, Robin. Has the word 'stereotypical freaks' mean anything to you?" Raven inquired. Robin visibly winced.

Raven continued. "Just because I am a villain doesn't mean I am totally heartless. If you were a villain, Robin, and one of your friends were hurt to the point of possibly dying, would you care?" and Raven walked away, her short purple hair swishing to her graceful steps, leaving Robin in deep thought and realization.

'I guess I was a little stereotypical on her,' Robin thought bitterly.

Robin watched Raven help Demille tend to the now-awake Jinx. Flash was talking to her and making her laugh weakly as he created some relief to the tension in the room.

'I guess I was wrong,' Robin thought before joining the others.
