Raven scowled.
"You all brought some kind of costume right?" Robin asked—Dick had already changed.
All but Terra nodded.
"We were supposed to bring costumes now?" Terra asked.
Star giggled. Terra gave Starfire a cold look.
What's that about? Raven thought.
"Good, go change," Robin instructed.
They all got up and went to individual rooms to change. Raven was still hurt by Star's earlier comment but more determined to find out what those monsters had done with her parents. She would ask about it afterwards.
Raven walked out of the room to see she was the last. Gary was checking his battery pack, Terra her boots, and Star was flattening out her skirt. Robin seemed to be pacing back and forth impatiently.
"Do you think you're ready to go?" Raven asked rolling her eyes.
Robin was startled by Raven's appearance. He nodded and they rushed out the door.
"Question," Star said, "how do we know where our parents are?"
"We don't," Robin said. "I have a hunch though."
Raven followed, hovering a few inches off the ground. "And where's that?"
"Wayne tower," Robin said, "highest point in the city. If my experience with super villains has taught me anything is that they have an evil plan and that's a normal place for it to occur."
"Right Robin," Raven said, "and how do you know this?"
"Well it's just experience," Robin commented.
They went on with out word until they reached Wayne Tower.
"We got to climb that thing?" Terra asked shocked.
"Correction," Star said with a smile, "you gotta climb that thing."
Terra gave Star the same cold look. As they approached the doors they could see three shadows on the other side. The doors opened and out stepped Jessica, Billy, and Bonny.
"You bastard!" Terra yelled at Billy and rushed at him.
Billy dodged and hit Terra along the back.
"Don't make me angry," Billy said. "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. I've always wanted to say that."
Billy grew to an unnatural height and he roared. Terra threw her hands up in front of her and a large rock flew in front of her and Billy failed to break through it. Terra gave a little push in the air and the rock smashed into Billy's face.
"Let them fight," Robin said. "Star take your sister. Raven take Jessica. Gary you're with me."
Everyone understood their task. Raven jumped forward at Jessica who side stepped with a frown on her face.
"What's wrong Jessica?" Raven asked. "This isn't what you expected when you signed up with the bad guys?"
Jessica continued to frown. She was merely dodging. Raven punched over Jessica's head and she ducked. Raven did a leg sweep and Jessica jumped over. Raven used the rock that Terra was using and Jessica used her powers to break it.
"Attack me!" Raven said.
"No," Jessica pleaded.
"Why not?" Raven asked angry.
"I can help you!" Jessica said.
"But you're the bad guy," Raven said.
"Let me help you," Jessica pleaded.
Robin and Gary walked down the hall way. Being built when the late Bruce Wayne's parents started the business Wayne Tower actually had a giant clock at the highest story. They came to the stair well and started to run up it.
"You sure the bad guy would have booby-trapped the elevator?" Gary complained.
"Most likely," Robin replied, "besides the elevator doesn't go where I think we'll have to go."
"And what if you're wrong man?" Gary asked.
Robin sighed.
"Okay man," Gary said.
They continued up the stairs silently. After five minutes they arrived at their destination. Robin opened the door and entered a large chamber consisting mostly of gears. Gary walked in beside him. There was a large device up on top of a series of girders. Hanging from a cat walk, hanging in sleeping bags—and asleep—tied on with nothing but sting, were their parents.
"You should find out about that machine," Robin said, "I'll get the parents."
"To be fair your parents aren't up there," Gary said. "I should go!"
"My parent's are dead," Robin said, "but that's not the point. You're a lot better with technology then I am."
Gary shrugged. "True man. I hear you."
He went to do his job.
Starfire and Blackfire—as they had introduced themselves to each other before the sparring had started—stared each other down. Starfire's hands were glowing green and Blackfire's red.
"Sister," Blackfire said, her eyes glowing red as well, "ready to lose the fight of your life?"
Starfire didn't answer, she just rushed forward with all speed her flight would grant her and shot one bolt of green light at her sister. Her sister moved her head slightly to the left to dodge it. A large hole in the wall appeared as the bolt hit the wall. By this time Starfire was already right in front of her sister and threw a punch. Blackfire disappeared and Starfire felt the air behind her displace. She looked back and saw Blackfire's fists in an axe handle ready to come down on her. Starfire blocked at the last moment by throwing her hands above her, not flinching for a second.
"Better little sis," Blackfire said with a smile. "Let's turn in up a notch."
Blackfire managed to get her fist to smash into Starfire's belly. Starfire fought the urge to double over but failed. She felt a warmth building up there and looked down to see her sister's hands glowing red. Starfire lashed out with her hand and slapped Blackfire. She stumbled back holding her cheek. Blackfire lunged forward, hand blazing red. Starfire didn't move in time but the punch never came. She opened her eyes and saw a red blazing fist just in front of her. Starfire did a matrix dodge and barely missed the bolt hitting her face. As she stood straight up she grabbed her sister's wrists and planted a knee into her gut.
Blackfire stumbled backward. "You need another level change? I remember how you were able to face every level in a fighting game except hard. You couldn't even hit a hard level computer. You're facing impossible now!"
"That was the worst 'scary' speech I've heard," Starfire said with a sneer. "I remember how you sucked at every single English assignment you've had over the years."
Blackfire's eyes narrowed. She ran forward and did a back-flip kick. It hit Starfire in the chin and she flew backwards two feet. She propped herself up on one hand and rubbed her chin with the other. She looked up and saw Blackfire flying down at her, one fist point at her. Starfire rolled away getting hit by debris stinging her. Starfire felt a boot ram into the side of her ribs. Then she felt hands closing around her throat.
Her sister's face appeared before her. "What's the matter sis? No breathe?"
Blackfire let out a cold laugh. Starfire's lung were yelling "air!" her brain "don't give in!" but the only thought in her mind was Oh my god I'm gonna die. I'm so sorry Raven! As her vision started to blur and then blacken out. A vision of Dick flashed before her. It seemed to give her a reason to live.
She jumped up and broke the strangle hold around her neck. She kicked her sister in the chest. Blackfire stumbled back.
"No more levels?" Starfire asked leaning her head to the left with an amused look. "Good!"
Starfire flew forward and speared her sister and they flew through the hole in the wall that had been made at the beginning of the fight. Starfire smiled and started to smack her sister with fist after fist, flaring green. She looked at her sister with all the hate she was able to muster and her eyes glowed green. Then two beams of light shot out and hit Blackfire in the chest. There was no wound but Blackfire seemed awfully still.
Dick… But what about Raven?
Starfire flew up the tower to try and find the others.
Dick pulled up the first sleeping bag that was tied to the cat walk. It was Gary's father. He untied the string and went to the next one. He started to pull it up when he heard a wir noise behind him. He looked back to see Slade standing at a control panel. He turned around.
"Nice to see you Robin," his cold voice drifted from the machine.
"Gary it's active!" Robin yelled.
"Thanks for the heads up," Gary said in a sarcastic tone. "What ever it is, it doesn't want to shut down."
"Just do it," Robin stressed.
Slade did a flip onto the cat walk. Robin took a small cylinder out from a pouch on his utility belt and pressed a button, it became a staff. Robin twirled it around in his hands while Slade laughed.
"Put away your little toy," Slade said. "Fight me like a man."
"You can't deal with a little advantage for your opponent?" Robin asked.
There was a beep from the machine.
"Very well Robin," Slade said with a sigh.
He ripped off a piece of the railing and made his own staff. Robin ran forward and lashed out with the staff, Slade blocking it by holding the staff above his head.
"Come on Robin," Slade said, "even Batman put more of an effort, and he died!"
Robin growled. He lashed out with the staff again, this time sweeping in an upward motion. Slade blocked it again, this time holding his staff low. But almost a second after Robin went for a leg sweep, Slade dodging with a slight jump.
"Oh come on Robin," Slade said. Robin trip a round house kick this time and Slade caught it and squeezed Robin's ankle. Robin cried out in pain. Slade threw Robin to the side. Robin hit another cat walk and held on for dear life.
The machine was beeping more quickly now. Gary's heart raced. Not going to be able to do it man! He thought. The beeping was even faster now.
What am I doing? Raven thought. I shouldn't be following her. I should be fighting her.
"Just in here," Jessica said.
Jessica opened the door and Raven followed her into a room full of gears. There was a ticking, but more importantly there was a beeping. She saw her parents up on a cat walk, tied with only bits of string. The string wouldn't support their weight for long.
There was little pause between the machine's beeps.
Robin was still holding on for dear life. He felt feet stepping on his fingers. He yelled out in pain and his pinky slipped.
"You're just like your master," Slade said. "He couldn't do anything with his last breath and you won't either."
"No!" came Raven's cry from down below.
Robin looked down to see Raven huddled over two bodies. All the bodies had fallen. Raven was sobbing, and then the sobbing stopped.
Raven looked up.
Not Raven.
Not quite.
She no longer had normal eyes. She had four red slits. It was as if Raven was run by a fire and this was the only way out.
"You killed them!" She said in a voice not quite her own.
She flew up towards Slade with her finger pointed at him. A translucent sword, glowing black, appeared in her hand and she screamed flying at him. She lashed up and missed only by a millimeter. Slade cursed and fell back. Raven growled and with a roar of a demon held her hands above her head. The machine—now with not pause between beeps—hovered above her head. She motioned towards Slade with both palms and the machine flew at him. With no where to go Slade was hit full force by the machine.
He flew through the face of the glass clock. Off in the distance there was an explosion.
Terra's eyes widened. Billy lay on the ground in front of her bleeding, his right arm at the wrong angle, and his left foot lay ten feet away. But it wasn't enough.
"You deserve this," Terra said, "you sick, fucking, bastard!"
She raised her hands above her head and a piece of road broke off and dirt gathered above her head. It formed into a giant flat rock and she screamed with all her might throwing her arms down and crushing Billy with a sickly squishing sound that she found enjoyable.
She closed her eyes.
Nothing.
No sadness.
Then happiness spread through out her body. She smiled and tilted her head to the side and started to laugh.
There was an explosion far behind her. It must have been outside the city.
"Come with me Terra," a cold voice said beside her. "I could teach you to do more of that."
Terra's mouth opened to respond. Did she want to do this?
There was no sign of either Terra or Bonny. There was no organic material found at the explosion sight.
Jessica kissed Gary.
"I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me," she said.
"It's okay," Gary said.
Raven and Star sat beside each other holding each others hands. A tree beside them ripped itself out of the ground.
"So which is it?" Raven asked.
"I have to go with Dick," Starfire said apologetically.
"That's probably for the best," Raven said standing up. "I lose control of my powers when ever I feel emotion. I still love you Star, I just can't feel it with out endangering your life."
Raven walked out of the park.
