Spiders: A Disappearing Act?
Spiders have always been easy to find; but just recently, spiders have become the most elusive creature on the face of the planet. After Thursday's large-scale attack, spiders have gone missing throughout the world. That is, spiders have not been seen for one week. What could be happening? Have they mastered the art of hiding? Or have they literally disappeared from earth altogether? Well, after searching virtually every spider paradise, scientists have only found a single branch of arachnid remaining. The pseudoscorpion. The outcast of the arachnid world, the pseudoscorpion is basically a scorpion with no stinger. It is highly possible they have sided with humans.
And even stranger is the fact that I have, well, interviewed one of the pseudoscorpions. The only knowledge obtained was the fact that they have not sided with their fellow arachnids. There is still hope left for humans.

"This is…good news, yes?" Starfire stared at Cyborg.
"It isn't good, but it isn't bad." Robin answered.
Beast Boy started scratching his head. "Wait. Doesn't that mean it's good news that it's not bad news?" He fell back.
"Well," said Raven, "if you think of it that way, then it's also bad news that it's not good news."
"Stop confusing him. That's my job." said Cyborg. He smiled.
"At least those spiders are gone." Robin sighed.
"But, for how long?" It was possibly the first intelligent comment Beast Boy had ever made.
"And…" Starfire paused. They all knew exactly what she was thinking.
