Last Chapter:

"I'm fine! Get him!" Raven yelled, chasing Robin down the hallway. The three looked at each other, and ran after her.

Chapter 5: Richard

"You-Won't-Get-AWAY with this!" Raven gasped, pumping her legs. They began to feel like jelly, yet she continued running after the criminal. She saw Robin's masked face turn towards her, grinning. Raven glared, and pushed her legs harder. She could hear gunshots behind her. God, Terra! What are you, a maniac! Raven thought, hoping that Terra could run and shoot at the same time. She had no interest in ending up in the hospital. Robin pushed open the door to the front of the bank, and ran outside. Raven copied, only this time kicking down the door completely.

"You're kinda tense, Ms. Roth!" Robin called back to her. She shot daggers at his back, but continued running. By this time she was beginning to see stars. The wind was nearly knocked out of her. Robin had taken the most strenuous way out of the bank, turning corners, running in circles, jumping over desks, and Raven had followed him through all of it. Robin rounded a corner in front of her, as Raven pulled out her gun. She jumped around the building, pointing the gun.

"Freeze!" she cried, gasping for breath. Her eyes widened in shock, as they traveled an empty street. Robin was nowhere to be seen. Raven fell to her knees as a crack was heard. There was a clanking of metal, as all of a sudden, a splitting pain erupted throughout her body. Raven heard footsteps behind her, as black covered her vision. A female voice was calling her name. The last thing she saw, before slipping into blackness, was a dark figure reaching down to her.

Raven awoke later to hushed voices floating around the room.

"Is she okay?"

"Good job, Terra! That metal hit her square on the head!"

"It is good that you were there, Mr. Grayson."

Raven's eyes opened. She sat up and looked around. There was a deep throbbing in her head. She winced, and lay back down. Terra, Starfire, and Jinx surrounded her, along with a man that she didn't know.

"Wha…what happened…?" Raven muttered. Her vision was cloudy and unfocused, but she could make out their faces. The death grip that Terra had on her hand tightened.

"Well…I…I was shooting to see if I could spook him a bit, and one of the shots hit the metal balcony. It broke…and a piece fell and hit you on the head…" Terra said quietly.

"I hope that you are alright, Ms. Roth," the man said. Raven nodded, though it pained her to do so.

"I'll be okay. I've had worse," she said. He nodded, and walked out of the room to fetch her some soup.

"Who is that?" Raven asked, once he was out of earshot.

"His name is Richard Grayson. He came running when he heard metal fall. It was a good thing that he was there. Our places are too far away," Jinx said.

"What happened to the Robin man?" Starfire inquired. Raven's eyes snapped open. She had nearly forgotten about him.

"He got away…again," Raven hissed. "I rounded the corner, and he was just…gone. I don't believe it!"

"You'll get him eventually, Raven," Terra said.

Richard came back in a few minutes later, carrying a bowl of soup and a spoon. He handed it to her and said, "You'll be okay, Ms. Roth. All you need is rest."

"Please…call me Raven," she said, a small patch of pink appearing on each cheek. She drank the soup silently, taking in her surroundings. Raven's vision had cleared up considerably. It was a small flat, with a small bedroom. She looked out the doorway. A TV and a kitchen were visible.

"What were you doing, Raven? Taking a walk when the balcony caught you?" Richard asked.

"I was chasing a criminal. He got away…for the second time…"

"The third…" Jinx corrected. Raven scowled at her.

"I'm going to kill that man…" Raven muttered, once again looking over Robin's police report. She read the file over and over again, hoping against hope that there would be some kind of clue jumping out at her.

"Give it a rest, Rae," Terra said, sipping her coffee. "You've looked over that more than eight times."

"I'm trying to do my job, Terra!" Raven spat. Bags lined her eyes, and wrinkles could be spotted on her face.

"You're trying a little too hard, if you ask me," Jinx said.

"No one has ever evaded me for this long before!" Raven cried. "I've never gone this long without catching a criminal, Jinx! It's driving me insane!"

"That's apparent," Terra replied.

"Well, I don't see you pouring over this report, finding a way to stop him! And then there's Slade!" Raven shouted.

"Friend Raven, we should not lose hope! We will catch the Robin and the Slade man!" Starfire said, patting Raven on the back.

"Maybe we should bring in some more experts," Jinx suggested.

"Like who?" Terra asked. "We are Jump City's experts."

"Who said anything about Jump City?" Jinx replied. Starfire perked up.

"Yes! There are two experts in Gotham city! What are their names again…?" she asked.

"I remember them," Terra said. "One of them is an Android. His name is Victor Stone, but everyone calls him Cyborg. The other's name is Gar Logan, but everyone calls him Beastboy."

"Cyborg and Beastboy, huh?" Raven asked, grinning.

Yeah, kinda short, but be HAPPY that I got one more at all! Well, now you can all review! Miss me when I'm gone, and I'll update as SOON as I can! LATER! -Switchfoot13
