The Mystery Warrior

When Hunter arrived at the coordinates of Slade's Fortress he found nothing but tire-tracks and the Titans sprawled out unconscious. He quickly realized what Slade had done.

"Damnit. What an ass!" He yelled at no one in particular.

He looked back at the Titans concerned. Not wanting to leave his former teammates in the middle of nowhere, he picked them up two at a time and flew them to a nearby building as he silently and stealthily rested in a nearby tree as he awaited for them to wake.

Hours had passed without so much as a whisper when Jinx suddenly awoke. She looked around confused as she tried to remember where she was and how she got there. Her memory was suddenly jolted as she saw Jump City in the distance. As she went to wake up her team, she felt a familiar aura nearby. Looking around for the source, she spotted a movement in the trees. As she got closer to the tree in question, she could just make-out a falcon flying away from the group. Thinking nothing of it, she walked back to her friends to wake them up.

"I swear we were all thrown into a clearing near Slade's Fortress, how did we end up half a mile away!?" Raven exclaimed as the team tried to figure what happened to them after the fight.

"I have absolutely no idea Rave," Cyborg responded lost.

"Maybe Slade decided to make sure we survived to fight him another day?" Flash suggested.

"No...couldn't be, if anything, it must have been mine or Raven's protective magic," Jinx replied.

"Jinx is probably right, of all things, that makes the most sense. But at this moment, we need to get to the tower and look for Slade," Robin chimed in.

Back at the tower, the team got right to work mending their wounds and searching the supercomputer for any sign of Slade.

"Uh...guys? Your really gonna want to see this," Flash said rushing into the room from the roof

"What is it?" Bee asked.

"I have no idea how to explain it other than calling it a break-in," Flash responded panicking.

"What!?" Robin exclaimed ready to fight, "Lets check it out. Be on your toes Titans."

Once at the top of the roof, the team was shocked to see a man, about a head taller than Robin and twice as muscular wearing an all black leather suit with a transparent necklace. He had jet black hair, blue eyes, and a white complexion.

"Relax Titans, I don't wanna hurt you," he boomed as he smiled warmly.

"Who the hell are you?" Robin asked pissed.

"That's no way to treat a visitor is it Robin?" Hunter asked jokingly.

"Visitor or not, if you wish to threaten us, your in for a fight! And how do you know our names?" Robin retorted growing angrily.

"I see you are trying to enter my mind." Hunter boomed, ignoring the boy wonder and turning to the surprised Raven, "I've had a tiring day and really don't feel like doing this right now." He added as he turned his back on the Titans and got ready to fly off.

"Wait!" Robin called charging at Hunter, "I'm not done talking to you dumbass!" He yelled as he flew at Hunter staff raised. Hunter lazily turned around grabbing the staff in mid-air and tossing it in the direction of the other Titans. He then jumped off the tower and vanished.
