Confusing What Is Real

"Okay, we're here … what now?" Garfield grumbled, late sitting in the bed of his truck with his girlfriend as the nocturnal teens parked at the cliff of a scenic view over the whole city. Sort of like a "Make-out Point" but this one was more of a meeting place for the criminally involved. Which would be Robin, Angel, Jinx, Star, Cyborg, Garfield, Terra, and a two other's that decided to come along.

One of them was a shady character that freaked everyone out because he was just … so … silent. His name was Ronald Glitch, but everyone just called him Wicked because … well … as his name suggested. No one knew if he was a murderous freak or what not, but one thing was for sure when told to do something the guarantee that the job – no matter how dirty – was going to be done. Being a dark-goth just like Raven, X had to faintly wonder if they ever spoke to each other.

Eye's always behind dark black shades, and hair slicked back and pointed up with tendrils of his bangs coming down to frame his face. The stare he gave everyone with the shades was unnerving. Always in black, X shivered when his stare landed on him.

"What the hell else snot-brain?" X inwardly groaned and gave Jinx a look of disbelief when her little brother, Gizmo Seth whined, a small middle-schooled boy genius – though that was argued among most – he had no hair what-so-ever on his head. Though X knew that maybe if he wasn't so annoying he'd get along with the kid more better. But everyone thought he was annoying, "We're here to trace the looser-scared-ass-bitch of a rider that slapped you fools stupid."

"Yeah?" Garfield glared, "Well then why do we need a short ass wanna-be like you."

"I don't know, you tell me I'm not the one that tries to reach the top but can't even out run Wally Flash. Slow ass dweeb," Gizmo snickered and teased even further when Garfield jumped out of the bed and stormed up to fight, but Terra stopped him and before anything else could progress.

Robin stepped in, "Okay! Enough! Look, what Gizmo said was right. We're here to find out who are mystery racer is and to find out what the hell he's really after. Gar, get back, Gizmo shut the hell up, am I clear?"

"Clear as a crystal Bird-Boy-Wonder," Gizmo winked and flashed his tongue at Garfield.

X cleared his throat and harshly shoved Gizmo back to Jinx who caught him and held his mouth shut when he started to protest while X spoke up, "Now that, that's out of everyone's system, what do you say we get to work?"

Just as everyone moved to hover over Star who opened her laptop on Garfield's tail bed, Jinx followed and warned Gizom to shut his mouth as she pulled open her own top. It wasn't until both were turned on did something strange start to take place. Star and Jinx both glanced at each other in wonder as their screens booted up to a desktop of a black background. A single word, etched in red and looked to be dripping in blood was the word … WRATH.

Then without touching a thing the screen began to type out a message under the big single word. Robin looked to Star, "What's going on?"

She shrugged, "I don't know … Jinx?"

The pink haired punk snorted and sneered, "You're asking me?"

"What does it say?" Terra urged and Ronald Glitch – or Wicked – surprisingly read it off to the baffled teens.

"'The sin of Wrath is ruled by the angelic demon Satan, whom which travels from heaven to earth tempting and testing humans like you and me. Seeking to destroy humankind, the Bear of the world will forever carry the burden of reminding the world of Wrath as blood-red crimson regrets pour forth on earth's soil. Satan will laugh as his deed is done … and I … Sin … as his gladiator.'" In the silent pause, everyone stood taking it all in, deep and rather threatening. Wicked took off his glasses and with his passive, emotionless expression voiced his thoughts, "I believe what "Sin" is trying to do is to scare us. Saying that our sin is Wrath."

Cyborg snorted, "Yeah? Well what the hell was up with "Satan" and all that shit! This guy is asking for trouble."

Wicked shook his head, "No, you misunderstand. What he was doing was simply explaining what Wrath is and what it represents. Satan is the ruler of Wrath as he so said, and as for the "Bear" it is the animal that is linked to the sin or emotion, where "blood-red crimson regrets" are the typical colors of this … sin."

Robin sneered, "So how does that help us find him? And how the hell did he get a hold of both Star and Jinx's laptop?"

"I don't know," Wicked shrugged, "I'm not the computer genius here."

"And that's my cue," Gizmo smirked and rubbed his hands together, getting himself psyched for the hack, "move out the way sister, let the big-boys do the rest."

Garfield snorted, " 'BIG' is pushing it a bit."

The little middle-school kid snickered, "Well you know what they say Tiny-Tim, BIG things come in SMALL packages."

Jinx gagged, "Will the both of you just shut it, Gizmo get to work already!"

"Alright ganny-mayhem, don't get your panties all in a knot I'm on it," cracking his fingers and connecting his laptop to Jinx's the silent air was filled with rapid typing by the small boy genius. Robin scowled and walked back to his 911 Carrera S Porsche parked next to X's Cayman S. Both got into their drivers' side and sat in thought.

Star notice Robin's absents and opened the passenger to sit down with him, "So … uh … weird huh? That this, Sin guy is actually targeting you two."

Angel snorted, smirking looking as charming as ever with his sparkling amber hazel eyes, "Come on cutie you worry to much. Don't be so paranoid, Robbie-poo can handle himself, right kid?"

From the driver's Robin leaned on his wheel to see X and flipped him off, Star rolled her eyes and put his hand down on her lap, "Stop it, you two both act like little kids. It's not good."

"I'll tell ya what's not good cutie," X snickered, "It's you hangin' in looserville and missin' out on the really fun stuff. Come on, prince charming over there can't be all that."

"Don't push it Angel," Robin growled gritting his teeth trying had to keep his temper in check; Star could feel the tension in the air and sighed.

"Look, enough is enough," she scolded, her bright green eyes that seemed to glow in the night pierced deep into both the guys' hearts warning them that being the human she was. She had a temper just as fierce as the next scorning female, "both of you want this guy and I don't see how it is you can get to him when you're always at each others' throats. You, Angel, should watch your tongue, and Robin, don't be so quick to throw a punch. My goodness."

For a moment the two appeared to have really taken her word into consideration, but X being himself scoffed and mocked, "Yes mother, and don't worry I'll remember to scrub behind the ears as well. Bull-crap."

"Angel," Star groaned and shook her head.

Robin snickered, "No offense Star … but … that was the most stupidest thing I've ever heard."

"Robin!"

"Hey! We got a lock on Sin!" Garfield called; Robin and X immediately got up and hovered over the laptop with Gizmo to see the familiar map and a yellow arrow … heading their way!

X raised a brow, "Is that thing reading right?"

Gizmo turned around and shot X a dry look, "Hey, scum-chewer, don't mock my intellect, the computer's not wrong, you're just in disbelief," returning to the screen he typed a few more things and the map zoomed into the yellow arrow. Lines producing from various sides telling its status, status that Gizmo read off, "whoa … no wonder this dude got you slow-mos, he ain't cruzin' with junk. His torque is off the chart and his horse mileage is, damn! You'll never catch this guy, what I'm tryin' to say here is that compared to you boys' he makes the Porsche look like toy cars!"

Robin scoffed, "Yeah? Well I'd like for him to tell me that to my face."

"Well then get your asses into gear," Gizmo sneered, "cause by the looks of this thing, this guy ain't stoppin'."

"Don't need to tell me twice," X made a break for his car with Robin right next to him. Meanwhile Gizmo continued to look into the GT in greater detail, Jinx, Wicked, and Cyborg stood by to watch him, while Terra, Gar, and Star went to check up on Robin.

Wicked glared at the screen, "Gizmo, what do you think you're doing?"

Gizmo snuffed, "What I think I'm doin' is making sure my cuz doesn't walk into another trap, that's what. This Ford GT seems awfully familiar."

Cyborg raised a brow, "You sayin' you've seen this guy before?"

"No bolt-bucket," Gizmo snarled, "I never saw the damn thing before, but its ride is familiar if you're in tune with the world."

Jinx noticed Cyborg and Wicked were struggling with Gizmo's strange info and sighed tiredly, "The style of the rider and the car was mentioned on the FBI's top-most-wanted list, the 13 Nightriders – as they so call themselves – all around America. The top-charted of the 13 is a guy no one's ever even seen or heard of. Evading the cops like there's nothing to it, reports of the vehicle were straightforward. A midnight-blue Ford GT."

"So if this "Sin" is the #1 of the 13 listed … what do you think the chances of our boy's catching him?" Wicked noted as he looked up to watch X and Robin get ready to fly once the GT came careening around the corner.

"Zilch," blunt and out-spoken Gizmo crossed a finger across his throat as he turned to lean against the tail bed of the truck. Looking down at the ground feeling the rumble of the on coming vehicle, Garfield, Terra, and Star both jogged back to the truck. Star with a look of great worry on her face.

Terra wrapped an arm over the taller friend and gave a reassuring smile, "Oh come on Star, you know X didn't really mean what he said."

Star shook her head and sighed, closing her eyes and biting on her lower lip she looked over to the cars and in her head made a silent prayer to protect the two rivals. Yes, to most it may have been ridiculous to do such a thing. But even though she supported them all the way, she still feared for their lives. Keeping to herself, everyone noticed just around the bend a flash of light.

In no time the headlights of the car introduced the roaring Ford GT taking the turn in a flawless drift and speeding straight passed the scenic view where Robin and X took off after him. With Robin in the lead he gritted his teeth and stepped on the gas mind locked on nothing more than to finally catch the disrespectful devil. X allowed him to keep the lead having traded communicators kept in contact with the younger racer, "Yo, two-bit-two-face, you read me?"

"I would, but you're a book with absolutely no point." Robin responded dryly, "Damn! This guy's fast!"

"Well then step on it grandma! I'm right on your ass!"

"Yeah? Well you can kiss it while you're back there!"

Shift, break, and drift the Ford GT was trying to create a gape, however found that the two were even more of a headache then originally estimated. Their skills were exceptional – that much was sure with the way they kept up. Even in this twisted terrain on the side of the mountain they were proving to be most challenging to shake. Granted the start of the whole conflict had been the intruder in the first place, but it was really up to Robin and X to finish it.

"I'm on him!" Robin announced finally getting a visual of the GT rounding another sharp bend; Robin wasted no time in speeding up and taking the turn, although not as perfect. The in the review mirror it was seen and a smirk of amusement was to be had on the challenger's face. Oh … how fun …

Faster the GT went and Robin stayed on him, using a few tricks to stay with the guy, X still the follower watched and observed the rapid fluid motion of the drivers. Both Robin and "Sin", getting a good feel on which had the better chance of getting away and he actually hated to see that Robin was struggling. In fact, both he and himself were struggling to keep up, and the Ford wasn't even trying! How he knew was because a few times he caught the guy slowing down and just when Robin got close enough he went even faster.

Sure, Robin noticed … but on X's point of view … it looked … sad.

Hell, X was embarrassed for him.

Then, the inevitable happened, the road widen when they just about entered civilization, but instead of entering on the freeway the GT did a full 180 facing Robin and gunned the throttle. Never knowing what hit them, the GT sped right passed them in a blur and back up the mountainside! X, having saw the move earlier, did the same thing and followed, forcing Robin to take the freeway already lost.

"Damn … you're good … whoever the hell you are. It takes skill to get rid of Robin that way." X whispered to himself, but with the communication still on Robin heard it all.

"Hey! I heard that!" was the immediate response.

X rolled his eyes and stayed on task, knowing a few of the challenger's tricks he applied his own and tested to see if he could stay on him. However as he slowly caught up to him, noticing there was no playing around on the challenger's part. X narrowed his eyes in suspicion glancing at his meter he glared at the GT, You wanna' play? Let's go, then. In a sudden shock for the GT, X pressed on his first spray and shot forward, catching up with little to no trouble and coming side to side with one another.

X swerved to one side, then rammed into the GT with such force that the car scrapped the guardrail that protected the car from rolling off the cliff. Shocked, X could tell he wasn't expecting such a trick and ended up falling behind. Leaving X to the front, "HA! What now bitch!"

Karma came right back and bit him in the tail … not quite as literally as suggested, but the GT sped up and nudged X from behind so hard, he was sure he got whiplashes! "Ah … why you little …"

X stomped on his break, forcing the Ford to swerve to the side and once again race at his side. At the same time both slammed the sides of their cars to each other, at a lock X struggled to not only keep the steering in check, but to keep his speed from dropping. However it could not be helped, with out warning the Ford thumbed his nitrous and a mini bomb was dropped. Almost spinning out of control X slowed down watching as the GT sped off into the night.

The thing was fast without its spray, but when added … it was gone.

"Fuck! Damn it! Shit!" X cursed and swore over and over again as he stopped at the scenic view where everyone saw the GT blur pass whipping up wind that was equivalent to that of a violent storm. Still in his car, X glared at the steering wheel, then exploded. Jerking his car door open and getting out he slammed it shut and moved to kick his car in pure and utter rage. However stopped, before he could do anymore damage to the poor thing.

Gizmo on the side chuckled, "Told you they had no chance against that thing. The midnight blue Ford GT is notorious around the country. What he's doing fooling with sad excuses of racers like you … is way beyond me."

Still seeing red, X looked up and stormed to Gizmo, "Got something to say Gizmo? Huh? Come on you testing me?"

Seeing the conflict Jinx rushed to stop him from turning her younger brother into a rag-doll. Putting her hands on his shoulder and shoving him back to his car she looked him dead in the eye warning, "X. Calm. Down. Where's Robin?"

On the ground his eyes were trained, glaring, seething, raging, just tense and in so much anger he shoved Jinx away from him and got back into his car, "Robin's on the freeway … heading back here if he wants to I don't give a fuck, but I'm gone. Tell Rouge I'm not coming back …"

"X …" Jinx pleaded softly.

X shook his head, "It's not permanent … I just need a day or two to clear my head. See ya."

"Wait," putting herself between the door and the car X was already in the driver's place getting ready to go when she asked, "are you coming to school tomorrow? Or any of the days you're gone? Stander question."

"Yeah … sure … whatever … now move." She did as told and when the car door slammed for the second time that night. X tore out, back onto the road and drove off.

"So what now?"

"…We follow the kid … tail him, watch him, then get his ass and interrogate him … and we start tomorrow."

"The kid?" asked the lower ranker in confusion, "why not just go for the cream of the crop?"

"…Shut-up," growled the leader, resulting in both companies to sit in silence. Their voices hardly loud enough to echo through the large boxed warehouse, dark and dry with only a single window that lit a single part of the warehouse. The two parties sat with a crate in between each other. Cards in stacks as they played the infamous game of poker.

"You know … I was just wondering, cause isn't the girl the other guy's like … daughter or something? So shouldn't she know more than the kid?"

"Hey, didn't I say shut-up? Listen the first time fool."

The later snorted, "Fine, be that way. But why are we here in the middle of no where again?"

The leader sighed exasperated, but held his temper for the sake of the job, "Because, we're here to guard the house in case some fools come in and try to steal the bosses stash that's why."

"To bad he put you incompetent morons to the task," both the follower and leader jumped at the sound of an unfamiliar voice, pulling out their guns and pointing into the dark trying to find the feminine voice that pierced the silent night.

"Who's there man? Show yourself!"

"Ooo …you're shaking … how pathetic."

"Hey man! Stop foolin' get out where we can see you!"

"You mean … like this?" from the top of the boxes leapt the female, but before any one of them could fire a shot, she tackled the leader and wrestled him to the ground, keeping his hand on the gun. Raven twisted his wrist to point the gun at his partner and let out a shot. Killing him instantly with a bullet to the head, then pulled out her own silencer and shot into the back of his head … needless to say he wasn't getting back up.

"Dragon to Raven, the outside perimeter is clear, everything cool in there?" Malchior whispered through his communicator holding his right ear. Raven sighed and got up, turning the bodies on their backs making sure they were both dead she nodded to reassure herself then calmly walked to the exit.

"Raven to Dragon, that is affirmative, I'm raising the flag. The warehouse is now officially in the hands of the Hellborn."

"Copy that … so what the hell took you so long to get here in the first place, you never said." Outside, taking a deep breath of the crispy midnight air, Raven closed her eyes relishing in the soft breeze that the secluded area allowed her. She walked around the warehouse to the back in order to catch a full view of the lovely lit city. Beautiful was the only thing that came to mind the lights was like diamonds that sparkled and shined in the wake of the waning darkness.

Breath taking … noticing she was side tracking herself she returned back to her conversation with Malchior and sneered, "Nothing big, just a few goddamned inconsiderate jerks giving me hell is all. I tell ya, the cops really gotta' step up their game. These street racers are as annoying as all hell."

"Heh, so I see. Retuning to base … see you at home."

"Right, Raven out."

The night was waning, the morning sun was rising, and she was still left in its wake. As much as she'd love to just sit here and gaze at the run rising witnessing the twilight hour of the morning work was to be done and with the task her father was trying to accomplish. Well, she saw it as only a matter of time before it all goes up in smoke.
