Recap: Walking away laughing Slade made himself another portal and disappeared into the dark abyss.

Raven's Room

Raven was levitating in her normal position meditating and concentrating on finding the hopefully remaining life power in Robin's body. She was walking along a dark corridor with dark doors and the walls and ceilings were totally black. Then she saw someone walking in the distance, the shape was coming closer, the figure was walking towards her? It was…

"Robin?"

---------------------- ------------------ -------------------- ------------------- ----------------------- ---------

The figure drew closer with each step, Raven could almost make out who it was, but it wasn't who she thought it was or hoped for. Out of the shadows came a figure with the same built as Robin, a skull like mask, black suit, black cape and a Red X sign upon his mask and chest.

"You!" shouted Raven as she stepped backwards as Red X came forward. "That's right, now wake up sweetie!" said Red X.

Raven opened her eyes to see that Red X was in front of her, she tried to scream but his hand was already around his mouth. His hand glowed for a moment and a goo-subtance shaped X came out the glove and onto Raven now's untellable or unopenable mouth.

"I can't have you screaming around Raven, I've come to give you some information. I know where Robin is" said Red X simply.

Lounge

Inside the Tower's lounge Cyborg and Beastboy were playing there usual video games but both of them were not arguing with each other for once. Starfire was on the couch watching the two play with a sad expression.

"Friend Raven has been in her room for a long time, perhaps I shou-"Starfire began to stand up but Cyborg's hand had stopped her. "No, Raven needs some quiet to find Robin, this could be are only lead." Said Cyborg as he glumly released Starfire's arm and continued playing.

Raven's Room

Since Red X had Raven's mouth 'plastered' he had explained that he knew that Robin was alive and where he was and also explained why he hasn't shown himself. "He needs someone he can trust and he's chosen you, but he told me to tell you to not tell anyone else about this until the plan resolves." finished Red X as he looked at Raven.

While Red X looked at Raven he saw that she had a very angry look on her face, he wondered why this information was making her angry, then it him…literally. Raven's had kicked him in the groin and pointed to her mouth. After stopping hopping around he laughed, apologized and took off the X.

"Hmm, what makes you think that I believe you" said Raven crossing her arms as she peered into the mask of Red X.

A chuckle came out from the voice speaker of X's mask. "Well, for starters my information is the only lead you have and why would I come here if not to attack all of you? Hmm. Well it comes down to this, do you want to see Robin or not. If you do, come into the old Theatre, tonight at 11pm and if not…well you may lose the trust of someone and I'm not talking about myself" explained Red X as he waved goodbye in a childish way and vanished.

Raven sat down on the edge of her bed thinking. She could see Robin again but he said that I had to come alone…hmmm I can take care of myself if this is a trap she thought and pretended to continue looking for Robin's presence but in actual fact wondered what she would ask when she talked to Robin, perhaps ask him how he was? Wait what kind of question is that? Raven sighed as the ticks from her clock went by.

As time went past, something clicked inside Raven's head, how did X get into her mind in the first place? Maybe he was there talking to me but the voices and figure talking got into my mind hmm, yeah that's it.

Warehouse

The broken warehouse was in a complete wreck, rock, boulders everything was jumbled on top of each other but in the midst of this debri was a human being, a human being which a fear for bats but also the master of fear. A rock flew from the middle of the pile and out came Batman with dirt and rubble on his suit with many scarred parts on his armour. His lip was bleeding but he didn't let him bother him. He was Batman.

I have to find the Titans thought Batman as he pulled out his gun like item and a sharp edge point on it shot out and clamped itself into a near by wall and the string pulled Batman towards the wall and then the streets of not Gotham, but Jump.

Jump High School

The tornadoes threatening the nearby area had now stopped and the corridors, rooms, halls were empty with nothing but the old smell of education. The remaining students and teachers left for there remaining homes hours ago. Slade stepped out of an alleyway and looked amusingly at the School, he raised his arms and the usual power of darkness appeared and wrapped themselves around the arms of the Master of Darkness.

The covered fingertips of Slade released dark energy on the ground, mere moments later 3 figures appeared from the darkness. The figure on the far left was a small being, same size as an average 11 year old. The being was totally pitch black and had the shape and form of a human being except from many spiked weapons that hung to its back.

A belt was worn over his shoulder diagonally and on the back were 3 weapons, a cylinder bladed sword with spikes over the blade, a ball with spikes chained to a handle and a few 3 bladed knives.

The figure in the middle was the size and built of an average man of 30 and like the others was totally pitch black but unlike the others he was perfectly normal. (except from the fact that he's all black) the last and largest figure was the height of a normal house and he hard to see features represented that he looked Ancient. Small spurts of black electricity keep trickling along its arms.

These were the Dark Trio, known only to obey the current Dark Master which in this case is Slade, the smallest is called Clam, and the normal looking is Solers while the biggest one of the Dark Trio is called Levitas.

"Welcome once again to the mortal world, I hope that you aren't surprised about your new master." Said Slade bowing slightly. Levitas growled in an unknown tongue. "Nos es non , nos have had plures cado vinco. spero vos es non ut bardus ut they erant , singulariter nostrum vinco decades abhinc. Caboose eram a atrox rector." Anyone who heard this would think it was gobbledegook but Slade understood perfectly.

"I assure you, I am far from unintelligent, unlike your old master Caboose." Said Slade. Solers peered deeply into Slade's mask and said who appeared to be able to speak English. "I don't doubt that you're more intelligent that Caboose but I do doubt your ability to give us victory like so many have not done." Said Solers.

Slade smiled under his mask. He is suspicious indeed just like I've read, I must be careful with him. "As orders to obey the Dark Master, I have a job for you three. Levitas you shall stay here and destroy this school. While you two" said Slade pointing at Levitas and then the other 2. "Will attack Titan Tower".

Titan Tower

Raven made her way to her window and opened it, she thought that it would be alright because her friends wouldn't disturb her because she thinks she is looking for Robin, she was but in a different. She flew out of her window and headed towards town.

The crime alert went off in the tower and Cyborg, BB and Starfire jumped into action as they went go to the T-Car, thinking that Raven would just teleport to the danger they didn't bother to remind her. Once they got to the garage, the door flew open and Clam and Solers walked inside. Eyeing the T-Car, Solers hands blinked several colours and the T-Car exploded in flames.

Cyborg watched as he 'Baby' was blown up. "Oh hell no, y'all gonna pay for that! BB get to where the other place with Raven while me and star handle these clowns." Shouted Cyborg as he arm transformed into his cannon.

BB transformed into an eagle and flew off to the other crime scene.
