A/N: I hope this isn't a terribly dumb chapter. I did just get out of my writer's block, anyways please enjoy the story and please review.
(Beast Boy's POV)
Where am I? It's too dark to see, I wonder how big this room is. Might as well feel around, extending my arms in front of me I take two steps forward feeling a solid metal wall before me. Apparently the rooms not that big, it must be a closet or some kind of storage room. I let out a deep seeded sigh and sit on the ground letting my mind wonder. I could turn into a bug or something and try and fly out of here, then again I don't see any light or cracks. Maybe I should change into an animal with night vision then look for an exit, yeah that could work. Standing up I take a step back and transform into an owl observing my surroundings, I was right about the fact that they locked me in a small room. Wait someone's coming, sounds like metal moving on metal; it's probably one of Slade's lackey drones.
(Raven's POV)
Beast Boy has been captured and Robin is temporarily unconscious, an unforeseen side effect of the cure to that fear gas substance. Starfire's alien DNA must have caused some sort of immunity to going under. Cyborg decided to go out scanning the streets for any trace of the fear toxin; I thought looking up more information on this Scarecrow villain may prove useful. We left Star behind to look after Robin, not that she wouldn't have immediately volunteered anyways.
So far I've learned that Jonathan Crane was a staff member at the famous Arkham Asylum. He would conduct experiments on the inmates, experiments involving fear. He quit those studies when Batman showed up. For some reason, one that he hasn't even revealed to any of his doctors, he wants to know Batman's greatest fear. He was committed to the asylum instead of the prison because he was gassed on one of his first encounters with the caped crusader, destroying any sane or rational thought left in him.
My studies have taken me to a small coffee shop, apparently the owner use to live in Gotham and was around during one of the attacks by Scarecrow. "Hello sir, I have a few questions." He turns to me as I start and leans over the counter. "About Gotham and the Scarecrow."
"This wouldn't have to do with the recent Arkham jail break would it?" he replies handing me a fairly worn news paper, he was obviously reading this article over closely.
(Cyborg's POV)
Everywhere seems to be pretty clean, I've checked damn near the entire city and still no signs of the new bio weapon chemicals. I'm gonna have to do another sweep, hopefully they haven't found a way to mask the chemical signature. "Hey Cyborg! Are you going to be at the parade!" I hear an excited kid and I turn in his direction.
"Sure thing, just gotta tell the rest of the team." Hopefully we can find Beast Boy and stop Slade by that time. It's been forever since we've just gone out and relaxed; the Halloween Parade might be just what we need after all this.
"Cool! I'll be watching for ya." Excitable little guy isn't he, as I get in the T-car I give him a thumbs up and rev the engine speeding off down the blacktop. I can't help but wonder how Slade and this doctor can disappear so easily, they're clean as a whistle. I flip a switch on the console and pull over waiting for the chemical scanner to printout its analysis.
(Starfire's POV)
"Please wake up Robin, we are in great need of your leadership." My begging is useless I know but I have to keep trying. If we do manage to hunt down Slade and this Scarecrow then we will need Robin in order to stop them. "Robin, Slade has taken Beast Boy and we do not yet know what he plans for the rest of us." The only reply I get is the empty sound of the medical room. This room does not seem to bring comfort yet it is the place of rejuvenation, why is this?
He twitches on the bed below and for some reason I feel a cold sensation down my spine. I can remember all that I saw after I was attacked by that man, Scarecrow, all the images. There was fire and monsters, creatures that the people of this world call demons or devils. It felt as if I had no friends or family, I felt hollow and cold all I could think of was how I could make it out how I would be able to live.
I look once more at our fearless leader worry deep in my expression hoping and praying for any movement from him. "Please Robin…"
(Raven's POV)
"So the inmates who were recaptured called him Death Stroke?" the owner nods his head, his face not differing from its almost stone gaze. This man knows how to keep things bold and to the point, I can feel his fear rising even though he hides it well.
"You kids seem to know him better as Slade." He then points to a small picture in the bottom left hand corner of the page. "They captured a glimpse of him before he destroyed the security camera's" Slade sought Dr. Crane out, but why?
"Slade's a madman bent on destroying Jump City and the Teen Titan's." I glance back up at the man and he stares back. "He also isn't one to go into a partnership, this doesn't make sense."
He shrugs and sips from a coffee cup to his left. "Maybe this Slade guy is more complicated then that." This is going to drive Robin insane; he thought he knew our greatest foe, guess not.
(Cyborgs POV)
I pull the print out and read it over closely. "No way, I already scanned that section." Starting up the vehicle once more I speed toward the tower and send out an alert to the other Titan's. "Guy's we got a big problem, let's regroup and think of a plan!"
"Robin still has not awoken from this slumber." Star replies and I let out a deep growl. Luckily Raven replies for me, I hate telling people things they don't want to hear.
"We have to leave him; we have to do this ourselves."
(Scarecrow)
"Hey buddy you got a pass to be here?" the rather large security guard says crossing his arms. I suppose to most this would seem intimidating, but I've fought the bat, this little worm is nothing compared to that.
"I'm afraid not." I reply reaching into my pocket holding a can of my trademark chemical weaponry.
He smirks leaning closer. "Then I'm afraid-"
"Well you aren't afraid quite yet." Quickly I spray the fear toxin in his face and slink around him into the large building closing the door behind me. "Now then which one should I use?" I look over the large parade balloons thinking it over thoroughly. "Ghost's are quite frightening but they do not quite symbolize the spirit of the night." I then move onto the next. "Black cat eh? Unfortunate to ones luck but they are out and about all year round." Moving to the next I smile under my mask and clap my hands together. "Ah yes, perfect what better symbol of Halloween other then the jack-o'-lantern." I pull out a small COM link from my pocket and radio to my hired help. "Ok boys, bring in the juice."
"Uh boss, this guy is starting to make a lot of noise what do ya want us to do with 'im?" oh what to do, I suppose we could take him in as a new patient, no far too risky.
"Bring him in, and then bounce him around with a led pipe. But be quick the parade starts in an about four hours, and we have a lot of prep to do." Hopefully Slade is busy with the assignment I gave him, and hopefully he didn't find out about all this. I hear the door swing open and the sound of the bouncer screaming.
I pick up a hammer lying by one of the floats and approach the once proud employee. "Now I think you're afraid." I growl leaning in close to the man swinging the common tool rapidly at the man's cranium. "Wait till I say to fill the balloon, oh and make sure you are pulling it as well." The seven mob lackeys all nod their heads and then look at the corpse on the floor.
"What about him boss?" one asks and I look to them and grin at a passing thought.
"Hide him on the mayor's float; find a way to release the body when I tell you."
(Raven's POV)
"You think you found the supply of gas?" Cyborg nods pointing at an abandoned warehouse in the old industrial part of the city. "What's the plan?" I ask looking at the map on the table.
He looks at us then closes his eyes; he doesn't seem to have much faith in his own plan. "We have no chance of beating both Slade and Scarecrow so the only option we have is to just destroy the facility and get out of there."
"And what of the fear gas, won't destroying this compound cause it to spread?" our alien friend brilliantly brings up. Cyborg turns his head to the side and sighs.
"Yeah I thought of that too." He then gazes at me with a seriousness that runs cold. "Raven you have hardest part of the plan; I want you to look for any containers holding the toxin and find a safe place to store them." I nod my head in understanding, but there aren't very many areas around here that we could put the chemicals.
"Where would you suggest I put them?" he ponders it over for a moment looking over all the areas of the map. Starfire also begins scanning the page; I do my best as well and after about two minutes of searching Cyborg points to a peer.
"Here, this is the place they scrap abandoned ships at. No businesses or residences for miles. We'll tell the police department to quarantine the area until we can dispose of the stuff." He orders and we nod our heads in approval. "You guys ready for this?"
(Beast Boy's POV)
They haven't opened the door, but I can hear them walking out there. I guess Slade dropped my communicator somewhere when I was unconscious. Man I hope Robin and the others get here soon. I hear a loud noise of metal sliding against metal and a newly familiar voice.
"You've done great here Slade." The doctor says and I can hear him clapping his hands. What do they have planned for me? I think that the suspense of not knowing how I may die is worse then knowing I may die soon.
"Crane, why exactly are we leading them here?" Slade responds there's no sound from the Scarecrow. "This isn't exactly what I expected from you."
"Is it worry or fear of not knowing the outcome?" Scarecrow says almost sounding hungry for the answer. These guys don't seem like very good partners in crime. And by the sounds of it Slade is starting to get annoyed with the other's methods.
A/N:Yeah lots of POV's anyways please tell me what ya thought of it.
