When I came to, my whole body was throbbing and I felt weak. I was still on the ground, the charred grass around me reeking of smoke although I didn't smell to good either. I didn't know if the others survived whatever attacked me but I barely made it out of that so I doubted the others did. I sighed watching the specks of grass float in the air. Too bad, they weren't that bad for a bunch of dorks. With my aching arms I pushed myself up and onto my feet, hurting so bad I almost fell over again.

I took a deep breath to control the pain and will myself to heal quickly. I looked at my burned arms, the skin was already starting to heal. I just felt really gross. And pissed. But that wasn't anything new.

"Ivory, are you okay?"

I turned to see that it was Raven who spoke those words. The rest of the Titans were behind her, burned, bruised, and looking for revenge. I felt this overwhelming sense of relief that I didn't have to bury them. But I turned my head slightly and huffed,

"Yeah, I'm fine, okay?"

"What the hell was that?" Beast Boy asked clutching his badly burned arm, "I didn't see much but it burned like hell."

"You saw something?" I questioned, "Spit it out!"

"Well, I only saw a silhouette," began Beast Boy, "But from what I could see it was some really tall dude, I think he was wearing a hat, another huge dude that was holding onto this smaller person. I think it was a girl."

I held up my hand to silence him. In the very back of my mind, I could hear a faint voice. A familiar one.

Flickr.

Her voice was small compared to the deafening silence around her, but I could hear her. Calling out for help. Begging for help. 'Ivory please help. he's back, he's back, oh god I'm so scared! What's he gonna do to me? Help me, help me, help me, HELP M-'

Her voice was cut off by something and I was afraid to find out what. I felt a rising anger over the person responsible. He would have hell to pay.

"Ivory what is it?" Robin asked, "What can you hear?"

I turned on my heel and headed to the fence, "I have to go. I know where she is but it's to dangerous for you guys. You all stay here."

"No way," Robin defied, " We are all a team and Flickr is as much a friend to you as she is to us!"

"You don't understand!" I yelled spinning back around, "It's. To. Dangerous! Please understand that I have to go alone! I've fought him before and I can again! I actually think of you guys as friends even though I never really show it! I can't bear the thought of seeing you all die because that's what everyone around me does! So please just go back and let me handle this!"

I was panting after I finished my little speech. The Titans all looked at me with sympathy in their eyes which kinda ticked me off. I don't need sympathy right now. Robin nodded and they turned and left. I took a deep breath and proceeded to the hole in the fence. I was about to crouch down when I heard a twig snap behind me. I turned around, and threw a powerful punch at my attacker. To my surprise, the guy ducked and I hit a burnt tree.

"Getting better at missing your throws," Beast Boy teased crossing his arms.

"What the hell are you doing here, stupid!" I seethed, "I just fucking told you to go back!"

"Well, too bad, I'm not. As friends now, we help each other. End of story."

"Did...did you just ignore my orders?" I asked.

"Yep. Now into the rabbit hole we go!" he called out cheerfully. I noticed he had some difficulty in putting pressure on his burnt arm.

"I'm going to kill you!" I growled crawling after him.

"No you won't!"

I growled again. Damn him! What does Flickr see in him?

Oh yeah, that love triangle thing. I'm gonna have to figure that out. But not now. Now, we had to save her first.
