Beware the shadows of the soul chapter 2 – The mercenary
As titans flew over to the city (or in Robin's case carried), they started seeing the path of destruction that had been caused by the three new villains. "How could three normal people do this?" said Robin. "Maybe they're not normal" Raven replied. "If they weren't normal then why would they have those melee weapons? I think there's more to these three new villains than meets the eye." said Cyborg. After about 30 more seconds of flying, the three villains were in the titan's sights. As soon as they landed, the enemies stopped causing destruction and turned to see the heroes.
"Alright little man who dresses in weird old black clothes, this is your first time so we're going to end this quickly for you" said Beast boy mockingly. The pale skinned, black haired man didn't reply; he just pulled out a remote from his back pocket which had only one button on it. The man pressed the button on the remote and suddenly, his appearance started changing. First off, his shoes changed from the red and white trainers he was originally wearing to a pair of black business shoes (you know those slip-on things). Then, his black gothic trousers changed to grey and looked like they belonged to a suit. Thirdly, the villains' leather jacket changed into a grey suit jacket plus his black shirt changed to a blood-red. Finally, a black and red striped tie appeared around his neck as his head changed from pale skinned and black haired to white skin and blonde hair. Robin recognised the man immediately form the scars on the left-hand side of his head.
"Two-Face!" Robin shouted. The four other titans looked at the man to see the legendary Harvey Dent. He used to be a good man, determined to put crime rates in Gotham city to an all time low but then the Joker got to him. The Joker had changed Harvey by killing his girlfriend, Rachel Dawes. After that, Harvey went on a killing spree to get revenge on those involved with Rachel's death. This involved a corrupt police officer and a mob leader. When Harvey was about to kill police commissioner Gordon's son so that he would feel 'Harvey's pain', Batman had appeared and saved Gordon's son; even after being shot by the formerly good 'white knight of Gotham' by pushing him of a building. By the time the paramedics found Harvey, he had already died so how could he be here now in Jump city?
"Hello, Robin. I see you know who I am. We've never met face – to – face but I know who you are and your teammates." Robin just stared at Two – face; ready to attack at the first opportunity. "What are you doing here in Jump!? In fact, no, HOW are you here in Jump?!" Robin questioned viscously. Two - face just smirked at the titans as he pulled out a handgun from his suit jacket. "I'm not here to cause simple trouble. I'm here on a mission." With those words, Two – face opened fire on robin. The boy wonder had just enough speed to jump in the air; dodging the bullet. "Titans, take care of his henchmen! I'll take Two – face myself!" Robin shouted. As the four heroes were about to fight the two armoured swordsmen, Two – face shot at their feet; stopping them in their tracks. "I don't think so, Robin. You see, I'm not here for you." To say Robin was shocked got hear this would be an understatement. Anyone in the city would've thought that ROBIN's old enemy would want to hurt him, so who was Two – face there for if not Robin? "I'm here for another special boy." Two – face then turned from Robin to his own henchmen. "Leave the green one for me." As soon as they heard Two – face's commands, the other four titans surrounded Beast boy; protecting him from the villains as their battle begun.
One of the two swordsmen charged at the titans as his blades and eyes glowed dark red. As he closed in, Raven put up a shield around her and her team. As soon as this happened, the swordsmen stopped in his tracks; turning his head to his leader. Two – face then pulled out of double headed coin from his trouser pocket and held it in the titans' view. As he showed them the first side, he said "You're safe" and as he turned the coin to show a burnt, black side of the coin, he said "You're fucked." Two – face then flipped the coin and let it drop it into his hand; it landed on bad heads. Two – faces' gun then began to glow a dark red as he began to lift it to open fire. When he shot and the bullet connected with Raven's shield, the titans couldn't believe their eyes as the black energy barrier began to disappear. As soon as the shield was gone, Two – face lowered his gun and turned to look at the yellow skinned swordsmen; awaiting orders. "Continue" were Two – faces' only words as the swordsmen resumed his assault. Raven tried to bring up another shield but found it impossible; the bullet had somehow drained her powers. As the swordsmen was about to strike her, Beast boy turned into a T-rex and hit the swordsmen with his tail; sending him back to his partners in crime. Beast boy then turned back to a human and shouted "I WON'T LET YOU HURT HER!" Two – face flipped his coin a second time; it again landed on bad heads. "Enough games." he said as he raised his now glowing gun and shot at the green changeling. When the Bullet connected with his green skin, Beast boy strangely didn't feel any pain but began to flash dark red. He then tried to transform but found he couldn't. "What did you do?" Beast boy questioned. Two – face just lowered his gun and smirked.
With that, the titans began their counter attack as Robin charged Two – face whilst Starfire attacked the two swordsmen; Cyborg staying to protect his two now – powerless teammates in case Two – face had another trick up his sleeve. Starfire let out battle cries as she shot starbolts at the swordsmen; causing them to stumble backwards but not doing any mortal damage. Robin was having his own problems with Two – face; he couldn't get close enough to attack him for he had to stay afar due to Two – faces' oncoming bullets. When he finally got close enough, Robin drew his bo-staff and got ready to attack but what he didn't count on was Two – face flipping his coin. This time; it landed on good heads, causing his gun to glow a dark blue. Two – face then shot the ground near his own feet; causing a blue forcefield to grow around him and block Robin's attack. While in the forcefield, Two – face reloaded his gun and Robin knew he had to go back to being the chased for a while. Starfire wasn't happy that the swordsmen's armour seemed almost impenetrable. After many failed attempts, it became clear to her that no matter how hard she tried, Starfire couldn't break the enemy's armour. She then began shooting starbolts at the faces of her enemy and before she knew it, the two swordsmen were on the ground, unconscious. With the swordsmen defeated, Starfire flew over to where Robin was fighting Two – face to give him aid to find Robin hiding under his bulletproof cape as it took Two – faces' bullets. "As soon as you are dealt with, I will kill your other teammates except the green one. My employer has something planned specially for him." Two – face said whilst shooting at Robin. Robin could only wonder what Two – face meant as he noticed the bullets had stopped firing. Robin looked form under his cape to find Two – face pinned to the ground by Starfire; his gun now in her hand.
"Good job, Star." Robin said as he took the gun from her. He then took Two – face by the collar and brought him up to his height as Cyborg, Raven and Beast boy walked over. "Alright, talk! Who is this 'employer' of yours? What did you power your gun with to get it to take Raven and Beast boy's powers? But most importantly, how are you alive? I remember that your death was broadcast all over the news when 'the death of Gotham's white knight' happened. Tell me!" Starfire walked over to Robin and put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down which he did. Two – face began to chuckle who grew into a full – scale laugh as the five titans looked at him with curious eyes. "You can't stop us, Robin. No one can, Not even Batman. No one can stop the coming destruction." Said Two – face as he pulled out a flash grenade from his suit jacket and set it off. Robin immediately let go of him to cover his own eyes, as did his teammates. When the titans opened their eyes, Two – face was gone. Robin immediately grew angry. "I hate that guy" said Robin quietly. Cyborg put his hand on his leader's shoulder. "Don't worry Rob, We'll get him." Robin looked at Cyborg; a small smile overtaking his face. "But first we've got to find out what's wrong with them." Cyborg said whilst pointing at the new couple of Raven and Beast boy. Robin then remembered they were powerless and they began to head home so they could look for a cure. Little did they know that a terrible trap was awaiting one of them . . .
