Computer issue, which is why chapter isn't that long, not that satisfied with it, let me know what you think

TITANS TOWER

WAR ROOM

"So we want you guys to insure our boys get taken out of the strike zone after the strike. That's all we need the Titans to do, we will deal with the rest. Imagine, if we take out Hartwell and all his boys like this, the government will intervene and hold elections, free elections," added Detective Kruger as he summed up the conspiracy.

"We don't have to do any killing or anything like that?" asked Robin after waiting a few seconds. Kruger was seated directly across from Robin and Guardian who sat side by side. Guardian had felt his ring feel a little loser but he jammed it hard into his finger so it stayed.

"No killing, you guys just need to get our gunmen out," Kruger said without missing a beat, he was very cool and calm as he explained the plan.

"You know this is a terrorist attack," Guardian finally spoke.

Although those were the same words Kruger himself had used when he first heard it he said, "I wouldn't call it that, we are killing criminals who have committed countless crimes and murders. Its like a clean up mission, or a coup, some may even call it a revolution," Kruger said.

"Who rules Jump City after Hartwell is knocked out, who will win the election?" Robin asked.

"Officer Bill Dawson III, he is the fifth generation of his family on the force, a good cop, and a man who won't be afraid to take the war to the enemy," Kruger explained.

"I don't like this idea at all, the change has to be natural, the Titans should be the ones to insure Hartwell loses his grip on the city and loses the elections fairly and democratically," Guardian stated.

"Come on Guardian, he wasn't elected democratically so why do we have to get rid of him democratically?" asked Kruger.

"Actually, he was, he won his first election fair and square, you can't argue against that," stated Guardian coldly.

"This isn't the time for jealousy or glory, I know you want to be the one who saves the city but we have beaten you to it, so just suck up your pride and join us," Kruger shot back at Guardian.

"He's got a point, it doesn't really matter who dethrones Hartwell, it just matters that he is dethroned," Robin said with a nod.

"I don't want to be a part of this attack, my people already get a bad image as it is, this could start racial violence. I would shame my family and all those South Asians who look at me as their champion," Guardian said quietly.

"I am getting kind of sick and tired of you always talking about your own image and your people, I mean you get so obsessed with it you overlook Darkness," Robin said with a little edge.

"Shut the Hell up!" Guardian yelled enraged as he punched Robin hard in the face.

"Guys! I don't know what the hell is wrong between you but please I just came here to tell you what I know, I will come back in two days to get an answer," Kruger said angrily as he got up and went for the door.

"Gym now! You and me!" Robin growled as he pushed Guardian back. The two then walked to the gym to begin their fight.

WEST SIDE

ABANDONED HIGH SCHOOL

Aries staggered down the hallway clutching her face, she knew she was going to have a bad bruise. She had gone to handcuff Kid Flash to the wall, the Kid Flash who was at the moment clutching his leg which had just been shot. Avengement had shot him pretty cleanly, there wasn't much blood and it didn't seem he would suffer any permanent damage. However as she approached him she was surprised when he managed to swing his arm and knock her on the floor. He then stood up and began limping to the door, as Aries rose up Kid Flash had kicked her hard on the cheek with his boot.

Now Aries was approaching the main office. "I swear I am going to kill Kid Flash," she thought to herself, she didn't understand why he had to kick her so hard.

As she reached the door she heard a loud voice, a middle aged man's voice, a scared voice, "How the hell do three kids get guns? How the hell?"

"Guns?" she knew Avengement had guns but she didn't know who else did. She snuck her head and quickly glanced in the room. She was stunned by what she saw, Nola had a gun to Boss Lewis's head, Avengement had a gun pointed at Nola while Kid Flash barely stood there with his own gun pointed at Avengement.

"SHIT!" she thought as she rushed out side and walked a good distance down the hallway. She pulled out her communicator, she definitely needed backup.

TITANS TOWER

DARKNESS'S ROOM

She ripped up the love letters Guardian wrote to her as he worked with Robin, she threw away all the gifts he had ever given her, "Damn him, damn him to hell!" she thought as she cried.

The ring was still sitting on her side table, "Why God? Why couldn't we be together?" she asked in her head. She then heard her communicator beep. "Damn that thing," she thought as she answered it. "Darkness," she managed to croak.

"Please teleport to these coordinates now, I really need back up," came Aries whispering voice.

"Let me get the other Titans and we will be there," replied Darkness as she began wiping away her tears and make herself look a bit more presentable, but who was she kidding, she was a mess.

"No, now, people's lives are at stake," urged Aries.

Sighing miserably, Darkness turned off the communicator and she teleported to the coordinates.

WEST SIDE

ABANDONED HIGH SCHOOL

Darkness had miscalculated and she had appeared inside the office. The three armed Titans look at her in a mixture of surprise and disbelief.

Darkness looked like a mess, her eyes red from tears, her clothes wrinkled, her face cold. "Put. Down. Your. Guns. Now," stated Darkness in a cold, monotone voice.

"No," Avengement said, the other two Titans were too scared to speak.

Suddenly the guns were flung from their hands as Darkness used her powers; the black aura tore the guns apart completely. "No one defies me or mistreats me again!" she stated.

"I didn't mistreat or defy you," Avengement growled in anger, she had destroyed his bet gun. Aries had just rushed into the room.

"You should all be ashamed of yourselves! GUNS! GUNS AIMED AT FELLOW TITANS! What were you idiots thinking!" Darkness declared.

"We- we had a good reason," stammered Nola.

"Shut up," Darkness said as she gave her a cold look.

"Sorry Mom," Kid Flash quipped, before forcing his mouth shut.

Darkness teleported right in front of Kid Flash and grabbed him by the neck as she began choking him, "You think I am helpless? You think I can't do or hurt anyone? Well guess what, I can kill! I can kill you all!" she screamed as she began squeezing the life out of Kid Flash, whose legs were now collapsing.

Aries and Nola forced Darkness off him, she freed herself from their grip and finally spat, "I quit, I quit being a Titan! You are all a shame, all of you!" she screamed before teleporting away, she threw her communicator on the floor before teleporting away.

GUARDIAN'S ROOM

Guardian had just finished his shower; him and Robin had really beaten into each other, as Guardian's bruises showed. Guardian went to check his mail before he would go find Darkness. He had set up an alert that would tell him whenever his "brother" James was in the news or in the police station.

He saw he was in the paper and he read the article:

STAR JUMP CITY HIGH QUARTERBACK SUSPENDED FOR SINGING

Normally this type of story would make Guardian laugh, but he didn't, reading how James had sung a very suggestive song to his fiancé just made Guardian more miserable. "I have to get her now, this ring is so lose!" he thought as he looked at his ring. He had kept it forced on, his finger turning pink.

DARKNESS'S ROOM

"Darkness?" asked Guardian quietly as he knocked on the door. He could hear a bag being zipped up.

"Go away," came the cold reply.

"Darkness, we have to talk, now," Guardian said.

"No," stated Darkness, sounding more frustrated.

"Sorry, but I am coming in," Guardian replied as he opened the door.

"Its over," Darkness said as she looked up from her packed suitcase.

Guardian froze when he saw her drop the ring on the floor and glare at him with burning eyes, red from the tears she had cried.

"Wha- Wha- Why? Why is it off?" Guardian managed to sputter as his own ring just slipped right off.

"Our love is finished, you had so many chances, and you blew each one," replied Darkness with no emotion. Although inside she felt something rise in her throat.

Guardian ripped off his mask, showing her his begging eyes as he fell on his knees and crawled to her pathetically. "Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me," he whispered as he picked up her fallen ring and tried to place it on her finger. Each time the ring fell back down.

"It's over," repeated Darkness, "And I quit being a Titan, you can be the hero," she added.

"No, no, no, no, why? I won't make the same mistake again, I promise you!" Guardian pleaded to her as he began begging her still on his knees.

Now Darkness began crying, crying at the sight of Guardian in such a pathetic position.

"I love you so much, I just lost sight, but I promise I wont do it again!" he said in a desperate attempt to get her back.

"Good bye Guardian," Darkness finally said as she and her suitcase were surrounded by a black aura and she disappeared just as Guardian reached from her. He knew after three minutes of silence and shock, it would be years before he would see her again.

WATCHTOWER

"Darkness?" Raven said as she opened the door at the sight of a red eyed teary Darkness and her suitcase.

"Mom, I-I left him, I left him and I left the Titans, I just want to have a normal life, go to normal school, get a normal job, live a normal life," Darkness told Raven.

Raven brought her daughter into a hug and whispered, "Of course you can, of course you can, you can do whatever you want. Now just come on in and tell us what happened," Raven whispered to her daughter as she led her daughter inside. A concerned Beast Boy was waiting behind Raven.

WAR ROOM

"This is the most disappointing news I have ever heard," Robin growled after the four Titans had confessed what had transpired on the West Side. After Darkness left, the guilty teammates put their guns away; Avengement heard the evidence and the four of them had turned in the man who had murdered Freeze.

"It was a hunch that turns out to be true, Nola did give her up," Aries bravely pointed out to her leader. Robin was looking through all the papers Nola had turned in.

"I know, but," he sighed, "But we know she didn't mean for this to happen, she didn't want her teammate to die. I would suspend her, but then she wouldn't be able to redeem herself, if she ever can," added Robin giving her a cold look. Nola looked down in shame.

"So you aren't going to do anything to her?" Kid Flash asked, slightly excited.

"No, I can tell she is putting herself through enough," Robin said.

"Here are the pictures and addresses of the men who did that disgusting murder and assault on Freeze," Robin said right as Guardian entered the room.

Guardian was hiding his sadness under his mask; his posture was stiff and evil looking. This was the first time in a while he was walking in the Tower with his mask on. "Let's go get them and kill them," Guardian said.

"What?" Aries said in surprise at how cold Guardian sounded and at what he had said.

"Didn't we say we would kill? Didn't we," Guardian challenged the heroes.

Computer problems, next chapter will be a lot better, I promise.
