"Damn it…GOD DAMN IT!" Robin shouted, punching the wall. Starfire and Beastboy backed up. Only Raven did not move. "How does he do it!?"
"Wall morphing" said Raven in her toneless voice. "I do it all the time."
"Then explain how he goes without leaving a trace! There are four men lying dead at our feet! One of them is cut in half! The other has a slit in his throat, and the other has a stab wound directly through his heart! How does he do that without leaving any trace!? He can't have used the same weapon, because the police tested the blood, there is no trace of any of the victims blood on the others. If he used the same weapon, then there would be at least some trace!"
"Maybe he just uses different knives…" said Beastboy.
"Robin, we understand you are getting frustrated with this, but we are getting closer to him…" Starfire said gently, putting her hand on his shoulder. Robin paced the room, staring at the dead bodies and the bloodstained, wood floor.
"Getting closer to him!? We don't know what he looks like, what exactly he kills them with, or even his name! HOW ARE WE CLOSER TO GETTING HIM!?" He roared angrily.
"Robin, take it easy man, y'know we're gunna get him…" Beastboy attempted to ease his friend. Robin turned to him.
"How many more people are going to die while we chase after him!? All we know is that his symbol is a spade, because he leaves one somehow at every crime scene! In this one, it's etched into a man's chest! How many people have to die Beastboy, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE!? This man is a ghost!"
"Maybe Rave could do some of her mumbo jumbo then. She kinda has somethin' in common with him."
"In case you didn't notice, I'm not a homicidal maniac…" she murmured. "But I might-"she stopped short; her eyes began to glow white.

"Raven?" the voice seemed rather distant. "Rave, you okay?" She shook her head
"Raven, friend, are you okay? You seemed strange, your eyes were white! And you were clutching your head, kneeling on the ground!" said Starfire, standing next to her, looking nervous. Raven stood up.
"I…had a vision…" she said slowly.
"What was it?" Robin asked, walking over to her.
"I…I think I saw him…and Slade…and…Cyborg dying…"
