She stood on the edge of death. Red Hood was planning on killing Batman and she couldn't stop it. He had told her his plans for Batman and she had told him that she couldn't allow it. Now she was hanging from her wrist in a warehouse. How could you have been so stupid Rae? Just because a guy says he cares doesn't mean a damn thing. Remember Robin. Groan. Think Rae, Think. Yeah that's a good idea look where thinking got you. She looked around then remembered her communicator in her bra. She was glad she hadn't stopped her physical training. She wrapped her hands around the chain holding her and pulled up. I know you're thinking why doesn't she just escape, right? Well one it was Red Hood and two he knew her too well for her to be able to escape. One hand let go of the chain and reached in her bra pulling out her com. She let go of the chain all together with the Com still in her hand.
She was praying to any god that Batman would have he's or at least be in the cave. She pushed the button. She waited and waited and waited and then "What is it Rae?" The she felt something hit her and she dropped it, "Hello Bats. Rae as you call her is currently indisposed." He showed Rae to Batman. "What do you want Red Hood?" Red Hood looked back at the Bat, "You of course." Raven had finally caught her breath, "Jason. Bruce's its Jason." He slammed the Com Shut. "Now why did you do that? You just spoiled the fun but I can remedy that," he said with a grin that could make any sane person quiver. He pulled out a dagger and walked toward Raven. He ran the blade down her uniform. She screamed.
Batman was in shock he hadn't heard right she said Jason. Jason was dead had been for years. He looked at Alfred, "Did she say Jason?" "Yes Master Bruce. She did." Batman knew he had to pull it together for her. He called Nightwing who was with the Titans, "We have a code bird down." He waited for them. He had seen her face when Red Hood had turned the Com she was scared and her face was bloody. He knew if he didn't find her soon, she'd be dead or not found at all. The four Titans walked in, "What's going on?" Batman turned, "I need to show you something first and then I'll tell you what I have planned. Raven called me earlier and said that Red Hood wanted to meet her tonight. Usually she only calls once a night so when she called a second time I decide to record it. Here it is."
He played the recording and watched the faces of the young people before him. Starfire cried and turned into Beastboys arms. Beastboy held her and made a growling sounded which was a clear sign he was pissed. Cyborg clenched his fist remaining quiet. Nightwing remained emotionless and turned to Batman, "Did she say Jason?" "Yes she did. I can't believe it either. That's not the point right now we'll come back to that. Right now we need to get her out of there." Batman turned back to the computer to find her location. "I'm going in by myself. He wants me and no one else." He held up his hand to quiet the team, "You will be outside waiting for my orders. I'm I understood?" A chorus of Yes came.
He found it. He went for his vehicle but stopped, "if you disobey me and she dies know this I will show no mercy." The team followed the Bat to a warehouse. He gave a few more clear direct orders and went inside. Red Hood stood in the center of the room with Raven. Her head was hanging down and he saw the puddle of blood at Red Hood's feet. "Don't worry she's not dead yet." He laughed. "I thought you loved her?" "Yeah well she betrayed me. I don't handle betrayal well as you can see." He ran his blade across Raven's chest. Batman watched as blood ran down the blade, "I'm here why don't you come after me?" Red Hood laughed, "Because I'm having too much fun with her." "Jason stop this." At this he stepped away from Raven and moved toward Batman.
"Don't you dare call me that name. Jason is dead has been for years." Batman signaled for the Titans to move. "Jason why are you so mad?" Red Hood flew at Batman. While they fought the Titans moved in. Nightwing was the first to reach her. He cut the chains and caught her as she fell. "Go help Batman, I've got her." He looked down at her and saw that she was covered in blood. He lowered her to the floor and looked for the deeper cuts but there was so much blood. He looked back at her face. Her amethyst eyes were watching him they looked tired. "You're going to be ok, hang in there." There were yells and bangs coming from the direction of the fight but Nightwing was too focused on the fight in front of him. Her breathing was shallow and her skin was pale. He doesn't know how long he watched her struggle to breathe before a black gloved hand appeared on his shoulder, "We need to get her to the Batcave. Come."
They laid her on the med-lab table; Bruce made the Titans leave. They stood outside as Alfred and Bruce took care of Raven. They were shocked when they saw Fox coming toward the med-bay. It was hours before all three men reappeared. Bruce looked like he was about to fall over, "She lost a lot of blood. She's not stable yet we'll have to wait and see."
Three days later…
She set up groaning Bruce was smiling at her, "Damn Bruce did you get the license plate of the truck that hit me?" He laughed and wrapped his arms around her. She snuggled in and sighed, "Where's Jason?" she felt Bruce stiffen, "That man was not Jason. Red Hood is in Arkham where he belongs." "Sorry." "There is no need you lived that's all that matters. Kent would have been pissed that he lost he's best spy." Raven laughed; there was a gasp behind them. The Titans stood there, "Spy?" Bruce let go of Raven and leaned against the counter, "Yes she still in the Justice League has been for years now." "Wait we heard she got kicked out. " At this Bruce rolled his eyes which just go to show he was fed up.
Raven hoped off the table she gripped the table and place a hand on her belly, "Damn that's the last time I jay walk." Bruce laughed and walked over to her, "Where are you going?" "To hell in a hand basket." "Where?" "I have to report in or you'll have underwear boy in your city and I know much you love that."
