LATE NIGHT

JUMP CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT

SEA FRONT

Detective Kruger was a very tired man. The case of Mistress Freeze's murder had consumed him. He thought the reason he was so into the case was the images in his head, the image of the cop on the verge of tears, the image of the body, the image of the Titans in tears. However, honestly, the reason was he had hoped something like this happened. He hoped a murder like that had happened and that Hartwell was involved. Kruger hoped this investigation would allow him to lock up Hartwell. Allow him to get his revenge.

FLASH BACK

NINE YEARS EARLIER

Fifteen year old Ivan Kruger was watching the Jump City University game when there was a knock on the door.

Kruger walked up to the door, his mother and father were busy organizing there room upstairs so Kruger was left to answer the door. Kruger opened the door to see two very tall, very muscular, very evil looking men with hats and trench coats.

With a very evil smile and an east coast accent the one of the men said menacingly, "Is the judge in?"

"Who are you?" Kruger asked in fear, not trusting them.

"We have a message for your old man, now is he here or not," the other man asked irritated.

"No," Kruger answered before trying to shut the door. The two men quickly forced themselves forward and shoved Kruger aside. Pistol whipping him on the cheek, making a gash. They stormed up the stairs and after some frantic screaming from Kruger's mother a bullet shot was heard and the two men stormed out.

Judge Joseph Kruger had been murdered by a random act of violence, with his wife watching. That was the official story the media and police said. In reality the judge had been killed because he shot down one of Hartwell's laws. He had been killed for standing for justice.

PRESENT

Detective Kruger hated reliving the past, but he did it every time he saw his reflection, when he saw that scar on his cheek, that small line that he always saw. Kruger quickly stopped reflecting and began looking at the files again. "Police isn't involved, but Hartwell could be. The patrol in the area had all pro-Hartwell cops, they could have made up a story to cover for him," Kruger thought before a fellow cop came in.

"Jimmy? What the hell are you doing this late?" Kruger asked his friend, Officer Jim Red.

"Got a proposal for you Ivan," Red said with a smile.

"Sorry, no drinking or drugs tonight, not depressed enough," Kruger said with a smile. "In Jump City, even good cops sinned. Even a judge's son sinned," Kruger thought sadly, he wanted to stop but he couldn't, it made him feel good when ever he was confused or down.

"No, no, its not that, I know you hate Hartwell as much as I do, which is why I have a proposal about dethroning him," Red said seriously.

"You're kidding right?" Kruger said excitedly as he studied Red, "You aren't kidding, tell me what you got, I am all ears," Kruger said as he leaned forward on his desk.

"I am part of a secret organization, we are called the Jump City Freedom Corps after the recent riots we know the people are with us, after the murder of that Titan we know the Titans will support us, and if you join us we can get all the pieces in place," Red quickly explained.

"Jump City Freedom Corps? Never heard of that, but what purpose do I serve in your plan to take down Hartwell?" Kruger asked.

"We have gunmen, explosives, connections, snipers, and agents across this entire city, but we need a link to the Teen Titans, they are all we need to carry out the rebellion," Red explained.

"Rebellion? What rebellion?" Kruger asked, this was scaring and exciting the man.

"In a month, Hartwell will kick off his election campaign with a big speech; all his council members will be present along with all his major backers. Three of the snipers scheduled to protect the mayor are members of the JCFC, five of the cops guarding the podium are members, and I am in charge of traffic. The plan is a complete massacre of Hartwell and his loyalists. Our connections in the construction companies are planting bombs in the entire square so we can take out his supporters and other loyal cops plan on storming the police departments. We even managed to have an entire SWAT team with members who are willing to storm the justice department and clean it out of Hartwell's judges," Red explained.

"My God! You are planning a terrorist attack!" Kruger said loudly in shock. He had never thought a group could be capable of such an attack.

"Please, I wouldn't call it that, I would call it a revolution or something like that, we are cleansing the city of evil and returning it to democracy," Red said sternly.

"You're planning on killing everyone there, unarmed civilians," Kruger added.

"Please, unarmed civilians, they are drug dealers, criminals, monsters, they deserve what we will give them," Red said.

"Okay, but what role will I play if I decide to join," Kruger asked.

"You have a dialogue with the Titans. No other cop has that, if anyone does then they are taken out which is why we need you. If one of us is caught the plot can be revealed and all our plans will be foiled. Since you have the dialogue your role would be to get the Titans at the square to evacuate our gunmen from the scene because there will still be many enemy cops. We need to evacuate our men quickly, the Titans are the only ones who can teleport them out," Red said.

"Damn you Red, my life was complicated enough, let me think about it," Kruger said as he stood up to leave.

"Take your time buddy, take your time, I will see you tomorrow," Red said as he left the door with Kruger.

Kruger just nodded as he left to go to the bar.

TITANS TOWER

Robin was sipping his coffee as he watched the security breeches occurring in the city. His Group, which had Nightfire, and Fireteen was exhausted after a few days of following Jim for leads. So far Jim was clean in regards to the murder but he was still running his own show. Group C was out, hunting for the elusive Iqbal, they had a lead and hoped it would lead to some idea on his location.

The only team at the Tower which could do something was Group B. Suddenly, Robin saw something and he quickly hit the alarm. Group B and Group A quickly assembled to hear about what had happened.

"We don't have much time, Jinx is raiding the police armory, Group B, I want you to deal with this threat. Neutralize her, capture her, and then bring her here for questioning. Group A will of course play reserve and will come if you call," Robin quickly explained.

"Alright, you herd him, lets go Kid Flash, come on Darkness," Guardian said seriously as he led his group out the Tower.

A FEW MILES AWAY FROM THE ARMORY

"You guys are too slow, I am getting sore from running at this pace," Kid Flash complained as the three Titans moved to the armory.

"Okay, go ahead and find her location, don't engage her at all, wait for us," Guardian told Kid Flash. Kid Flash eagerly nodded and rushed to the armory.

SUBWAY

Kruger was standing in the subway drunk and reflecting on life. He was staring at a beautiful girl who had caught his eye. "She is such an angel, I am sure of it. Why did she smile at me like that," Kruger thought.

He saw she was with another man but it didn't bother him, "I have plan," he thought as he walked by her. As he walked by he thought, "Damn she can see from my face that I am drunk," the detective thought.

She gave the man a kiss and walked off the subway, right behind Kruger. He slowed his pace so she was walking side by side with him.

"You're so beautiful, I just saw your face on the subway and now I don't know what to do. However, I can't escape the fact I will never be with you," Kruger told the woman.

"What are you talking about?" she asked in surprise at the statement.

"Yeah, you caught my eye as I walked on by, but sorry, I can't face the truth," Kruger said as he walked ahead embarrassed with himself.

"What truth?" the woman called out as Kruger walked into the night, hiding the silent tears on his face. Long ago he vowed to never be with a woman, never. He wouldn't bring her into his feud and hurt her. The memory of his mother's mental collapse after his father's murder was also in his mind. "The truth is, I can never be with you," Kruger thought. "I should stop drinking," was the man's next thought as he entered his apartment, he always had crazy, depressing thoughts on his mind whenever he drank. Fantasies of a future that could never be unless Hartwell was dead.

ARMORY

Kid Flash arrived at the armory a bit too fast, he skidded into the area and was quickly spotted by Jinx who seemed to be expecting him.

"Hello son," she said with a smile.

"What the hell is your problem? Why are you calling me your son!" Kid Flash shot back in anger. His mother had always been a touchy subject for him. His father never told him about her and he never knew who she was.

"That's no way to talk to your mother," Jinx said with a smile.

"Stop lying to me! My mother isn't a criminal! My father would never love a criminal like you!" Kid Flash said as he ran full speed towards her. Wanting to snap her neck.

Jinx quickly hexed his frontal attack knocking him back to the ground. "Let me tell you a story son, your father thought he was a wise man. That was a crazy night we had all those years ago. You see the wise man and I smoked nine till seven on all the shit we could find. He was caught up in my talent show, he couldn't escape from me, there was no way out of the situation. So I then told him to go steady on me, and you know what he did. We were too fucking high; he said that the next day. He also said he was just trying to have some fun, and he said he was very sorry for what he had done. Nine months latter he gave me a choice and I made my decision. He kidnapped you from me and left me a note in which he asked me a question, he asked me who's alone now. That's right, after using me your father kidnapped you from me and taunted me," Jinx explained.

"Lies!" Kid Flash said as he tried again in blind anger to attack, again being knocked down.

"Look at your eyes, take off those contacts and then you will see," Jinx said as she flew out as Kid Flash's two teammates finally entered the building.

"Where did she go?" Guardian demanded Kid Flash who was still on the floor not reacting.

"She got out, she didn't take anything," Kid Flash said numbly.

"Damn it! That was a big lead! How the hell did you screw this up?" Guardian exploded as he demanded an answer from Kid Flash.

"Calm down, it's his first mission," Darkness said to Guardian soothingly, trying to calm him down.

Guardian gave her a very cold glare, "Don't stick up for him, he screwed up, he doesn't need an excuse from his friend, now give me an answer Kid Flash," Guardian continued, shrugging off Darkness.

"I went in too fast and she spotted me, I attacked her, she beat me down," Kid Flash said, not lying, just leaving out the details.

"She doesn't seem to have stolen anything," Darkness observed, her voice emotionless.

"Sorry, didn't mean to explode on you, I shouldn't be too hard on you, everyone makes mistakes," Guardian said nicely to Kid Flash, helping the teen up.

"No, it was my fault, I wont screw up again," Kid Flash said seriously.

"Please don't be too hard on yourself, I really didn't mean anything from my outburst," Guardian said again trying to make up for his outburst.

"Alright, I will just go ahead to the Tower," Kid Flash said as he prepared to get home and do some investigating, he needed answers.

"Go ahead," Guardian said as he ran home. Guardian then turned to Darkness who was just starring at the wall.

Guardian put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, she shrugged it off and said coldly, "I don't need you to apologize for another random outburst, I just want to go home and sleep," with that Darkness left for the Tower.

Guardian just stared forward and shook his head in disgust at his outburst.

THREE HOURS LATTER

TITANS TOWER

Guardian knocked at Robin's door that night. "Guardian?" Robin answered the door, it was a little late.

"I need three days off with Darkness," he said to him.

"What? We need the team hunting for the killer and the traitor," Robin said in slight anger at being awoken and at Guardian suggesting leaving the team for three days.

"My marriage is on the rocks right now and I screwed up big today, I need to regroup and need to show her something," Guardian said to Robin.

Robin studied Guardian, "Alright, only because you two actually deserve a break and also because Group C has had no success with Iqbal. So I will shift them to hunting down Hartwell for three days, Kid Flash can temporarily join to Group while your away. However, keep your communicator on incase of an emergency," Robin explained to his friend.

"Thanks Robin, this just may save my marriage," Guardian said as he began leaving.

"I sincerely hope it does, but please don't let your marriage take place of your job as defender of this city," Robin warned.

"Believe me I won't," Guardian said.

WATCHTOWER

"I swear, you better not be lying to me," Raven warned Batman in the main room.

"I would never lie to you for two reasons, you're my friend and I know better than to anger a pregnant woman," Batman replied with a small smile.

Raven had sensed there was something going on between Batman and Cyborg because of all the time they were spending together and she sensed something dark going on in the watchtower. "Alright, but I will hold you accountable if you are lying," Raven gave her final warning as she left the room.

After she left Batman called Green Arrow and told him what happened, Green Arrow gave a sad look and said, "We will have to use the machine on her, tell Cyborg and make sure you erase her fears and suspicions," Green Arrow instructed.

Batman simply nodded sadly as he hung up and went to Cyborg's room.

NEXT MORNING

WATCHTOWER

"Why did you call me here Batman?" Raven asked as she entered Batman's private office, the windows were covered and the door closed which meant the room was soundproof.

Batman didn't tell her anything he just approached her slowly with a helmet in his hand.

"What is that in your hand? Why are you coming this close?" Raven said in slight fear as she backed away and moved towards the door, she couldn't really use her powers while pregnant. It might have side affects she didn't want to risk. Very terrible memories were flooding back, memories from the Tower all those years ago.

"Don't be frightened, just put this machine on your head, the door is locked, now just put the machine on your head," Batman said calmly as he came closer.

Raven eyed him and then with her trademark defiance said, "Never."

"So sorry," Batman said as he moved forward, lunging for her arm with his free hand…
