A/N: OK. Yes, I'm sorry, it's another short one. Shadow and I are in the middle of discussing the next bit after what we have so far, and I only put more in because CC begged me to. That and I gave in easily. So don't worry, I will add more soon(ish) so be ready for more!!!

Raven and Nero's limp bodies were thrown in a heap on the floor. Darkdooms' body was thrown to the other side of the cell. A guard walked in and bound Raven's wrists and ankles with metal cuffs, then he moved to Nero, and did the same. He then threaded a chain through the cuffs on Raven's wrists and fastened it to the wall, also doing the same with Nero's. He then kicked Raven and Nero a little bit, just for effect. He moved to Darkdoom, and repeated the process. The guard walked out and locked the door to the dungeon, and place the key on a hook at the far side of the opposite room.
"Good luck getting out of here." He muttered before leaving the lower area of the dungeon.

Raven and Nero woke inside a cold, grey, foul smelling dungeon. Metal bars kept them enclosed inside a stone room, and metal cuffs and chains kept them away from the bars. Ravens wrists and ankles were cuffed, as were Nero's. They were thrown in a heap at the back end of the cell, and Darkdoom was in another heap at the other side. Raven was awfully pale, more then normal, and she was shivering. Nero sat up and groaned, and for the first time ever, Raven made no move to help him. She huddled herself into a ball, and tried to keep warm. Nero shuffled across to her, and placed one arm over her shoulders. She smiled and let her head drop on his shoulder. Nero gently wrapped his other arm around her, making sure to keep the cold metal of the chains off her skin. Raven's breathing steadied, and she became more relaxed. Soon, she was asleep. Nero smiled. She was even prettier in her sleep. He heard a groan from the direction of Darkdoom. He sat up, rubbing his temples.
"Nice of you to join us, Diabolous." Darkdoom looked around.
"Where are we?"
"In the dungeon of Johnstons' castle most likely."
"More importantly, why are we here, and why am I chained up?!" Darkdoom yelled a little too loud, and Raven began to stir. Nero shushed him, and he gently moved Raven over to the wall. He took off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. He then shuffled as far as he could over towards Darkdoom.

"How are we going to get out of here?" Nero sighed.
"I was hoping Natalya could help us with that, but that doesn't seem like an option." He turned to face her again quickly.
"What happened?" Nero frowned.
"There was an explosion and Raven passed out. Then there were men with SMG's, so I distracted them and ran. Then Johnston caught up with us, and told me that if I didn't give him what he wanted, we would be kept prisoner until we reconsidered." Darkdoom thought about this.
"And what did he want?" Nero looked at Raven again, then back to Darkdoom. He opened his mouth to speak, but someone else spoke for him.
"He wanted me." Nero spun to look at Raven again. Her voice was croaky, and she looked deathly pale. Darkdoom immediately frowned.
"Are you OK?" She nodded.
"I'll be fine." She shuffled over to where Nero and Darkdoom were sitting.
"Now, an escape plan."
