Alyssa gripped the motorcycle tightly, her adrenaline mixing with fear. The speed made her hair whip back in the wind and her eyes had to squint. Being a beginning driver, she was already having difficulty controlling the bike, but the narrowness of the alley made it almost impossible. Her breath came in ragged gulps and she heard a shout of protest behind her from Cyborg. She swirved her bike hazardously around a garbage can and shot out of the alley into the street. Headlights burned into her vision and she yelped in surprise. She took a hand off the handlebar and rubbed at her eyes for a second. She quickly grabbed the handlebar once again. Cars were barreling in her direction, but went around her like a river parting around a rock. There were angry shouts and loud horn honks. She turned the bike around and fell into line behind a semi-truck. She sighed with relief. 'The plan worked!' A smile spread across her face and she resisted the urge to shout in joy. After a while she calmed down and was focused on her task. She turned left at the intersection and cruised joyfully along. Then, a fact hit her hard in the face.

"When did I learn how to drive a motorcycle?"

Robin awoke with a groan, a sense of Deja Vu washing over him. He could feel ropes rub against his sides and arms, binding his arms to his body. He grit his teeth and shifted so he could feel along his boot, and to his dismay his hidden weapons were gone. He sighed and studied his surroundings. On all of his sides were tightly packed bars, each about the thickness of his hand apart. He could tell they were steel, even in the low lighting. He could only see darkness beyond his cage. 'Where am I?'

He struggled against his bindings futily, only managing to rub his arms, stomach, back, and chest raw. He sighed and layed back down to look up at the ceiling of the cage.

Raven kicked out and was tossed into a cage in the dark room. She growled at her attacker, who merely walked off. She struggled against her binds desperately, even trying to use the necklace around her neck to create space to wiggle out through. Her boots made small squeeks and the cold cement burned on the bare skin where her costume didn't cover. She sighed and managed to get into a criss cross position. She perked up her head when she heard a familiar voice.

"Raven?"

Alyssa shrugged her shoulders, then continued focusing on driving as she formed a plan. She took a hand off the handle bar and felt in her pocket. She smiled to herself, grateful she remembered her money that day. She calmy went back to driving, but then noticed something peculier. There was a dark figure on a nearby skyscraper, holding something out in his/her hand. Alyssa watched the figure as it made a flourish, then pressed it's finger into whatever was in it's hand. There was a large boom, then a shot of flame up into the sky. She winced at the sudden wave of heat, then heard screams. The semi-truck suddenly braked, and she had to go right around the truck or crash. Alyssa, once she was around the truck, saw what happened.

A car was swerved diagonally, blocking both lanes of traffic. Flames licked at it's exterion and interior, everything at that point black. Metal was peeling and curling up like dried paper, showing the mechanics of the car. Smoke was billowing into the air and Alyssa had to stop the motorcycle. Alyssa stared at the damage, before looking back up to where she had seen the figure earlier. It was gone. She hearda honk and kids screaming, and her attention was redirected to the opposite lane. Barreling towards the mess was a school bus, filled with screaming and wide-eyed children. The bus-driver looked frantic, pulling on every brake imaginable.

A feeling washed over Alyssa, unfamiliar, but comforting. Her eyes narrowed and she got off her motorcycle and it went back into a black box form.

I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losing my faith today
Falling off the edge today

Alyssa caught the box, and walked around the burning car until she was infront of the bus' path. The driver yelled out to her, but adrenaline roared in her ears.

I am just a man
Not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate

She took a deep breath in, than out. She set her feet and rubbed the black box with her thumb.

It's just another war
Just another family torn
Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live

She imagined a large bouncy force-field and threw out the black box, hoping it worked.

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time

She smiled as it became what she thought. But would it still be bouncy?

I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Speaking my mind today
My voice will be heard today

The bus barreled into it, but it just stretched, then the bus rolled back as if it just tapped gently against it.

I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today

Alyssa called back the black box, then turned it into a motorcycle again and boarded it.

It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves

The kids seemed stricken in awe as she drove past them, and some cheered for her. Alyssa smiled, a sense of pride filling her.
