He returns...
It was almost too easy to predict that everything would come to this. Raven dodged a barrage whistling spheres and caught them in a black energy field for future use. Starfire veered out of the way of a similar sphere and shot it in the back pass. It broke into a valley of sparks and fell to the ground as harmless shards. The cloaked villain became hidden in shadow as something descended hard and fast.
A quick glance up and the villain understood. In a brief flurry of movement, Quicksilver moved to the side and pulled a silver-clear sword seemingly out of nowhere. A green dinosaur shifted out of that form and became something recognizable in this day and age. A rhino hit the ground with a resounding rumble and charged at the silver faced being that was causing so much destruction.
Taking the temporary guise of a matador, the figure spun and sent Beasboy colliding into Cyborg who had tried to run in from behind.
"Surely you can do better," Quicksilver's metallic voice ridiculed as he dodged a neon attack from Starfire. "If indeed you are the Titans I have heard so much about." Just beyond his view something small and dark arched in mid-air and dove into the center of the hood, quickly followed by an explosion that would have knocked an elephant back. He stumbled but regained his balance relatively quickly.
"Consider this a warm up." Raven glanced down the road.
Oh, so he decided to come back. The dark empathic suppressed a sneer as she dodged another silver attack. Moving quickly she avoided a series of combined friendly fire and enemy shots to get a clear sight of the scene near the roof of one of the nearby buildings. Starfire, Beastboy, and Cyborg surrounded Quicksilver in a rough triangle. Starfire and Cyborg alternately shot at him while Beastboy hung back and Robin joined the fray. This plan would have worked for any other villain… but from her vantage point there was a flaw. People could miss.
Raven stretched out her senses and "saw" a system of thick pipes beneath the concrete road. Taking a brief second to concentrate she caught the pipes and wrenched them from the ground, catching Quicksilver in something of a makeshift cage. The cage tightened in on the pale robed figure and it would have been impossible for most villains to escape. Most.
Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin opened fire. It looked like that was it. That this would be the end of the fight. But as fate would have it, no. Quicksilver started glowing. He shone a brilliant white and almost blinded all of the team. When the light disappeared, he was gone.
Perhaps another day, Titans. The silver voice left a mocking laugh in the heads of all five of them. Each came back into focus as they pieced together what happened. "Quicksilver" got away and Robin was back. Raven lowered to the ground. There were going to be words exchanged and people may or may not want to take them back.
"Hey," Robin managed to say as Cyborg passed him to get into his car. Beastboy similarly ignored him as he tried to help Raven fix the streets as a gorilla. Starfire offered him a sad glance but said nothing as she walked passed him. Beastboy shifted out and back into a human while Raven hovered around the scene, just watching and waiting.
"Well that's a fine 'how do you do.'"
"Don't you have some place to go?" Raven muttered scornfully as she passed.
