Alyssa's POV

When adrenaline is flooding through your body, when you know you could possibly die any second as your heart beats a drum in your head. When there's no safety and no hiding in the corner from your fears. All you can be is brave.

See, when you're hanging upside down from a trap you didn't notice in front of the largest peacock in recorded history, the blood rushing to your head can get to you.

Back to normal pov!

Alyssa blinked as her head drowned in a way that could be compared to motion-sickness. Shen leaned in to fill her whole vision, which ended up looking very, VERY intimidating. His eyes flickered over her.

"A ninja?" he poked at her wolf ears, which twirled her hanging form about and made the sickness worse. "Formidable, maybe a bit old-fashioned..."

What's he talking about? Will he kill me? Fight me? Throw me into the incinerator?

Alyssa was spun back around again to find the peacock glaring into her.

"What's a ninja doing here?"

Maybe it was the blood going to her head, or she was going crazy, but Alyssa smiled.

"I'm from the International Ninja-Melting Metal Agency. I have come to make sure that you are properly burning your metal."

Shen narrowed his eyes, teeth grit into a sneering line.

"Liar."

"OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!" Alyssa felt giddy as the rope spun her around again, giggling like a little girl who pulled a nasty trick.

The rational part of her brain mentally attempted to grab her attention, pull her away from her deluded fantasies.

But what fun is being rational?

Shen's beak twitched, his feathers were twisting colors in a kaleidoscope and his features were warbling.

"The world is funny." Alyssa grinned as it made more pretty colors.

In slow-motion Shen reached up to the rope roughly holding Alyssa's leg, seeming to flinch back slightly as he touched the surface.

"Whooo puuuuut laughiiiiiing pooowder ooon ttthhhee rooooope?"

And everything slowly turned to a very dark darkness.

Heh, dark darkness. That's funny.

/

Shen glared at each of the guards," Well, who did it?"

Irritation was forming in the pit of his gut. He needed more information from the ninja! But now he couldn't because it was knocked out cold.

The guards looked to each other nervously, some whistling.

He sighed, bringing his wing to his face as he shook his head.

Surrounded by so many idiots...

"Put it somewhere safe!" he yelled, the guards jumping to attention quickly and wheeling away the ninja.

"Ugh, I need some tea"

Cyborg felt his heart quicken as the footsteps seemed to thud in his skull like a nightmare come true.

Cyborg suddenly kicked into high-gear, running back to the stairs and taking a peek down it. The doorknob creaked and turned, announcing the anticipated arrival of the animalistic antagonist of astounding aperture.

Cyborg ran back the way he came, diving under a bed for cover. He did not want to go face to face with the sick person that did all this.

Alyssa awoke in complete darkness. Enough darkness that if knives were able to cut darkness, this would be too thick to cut.

Complications complications...

It felt like the floor under her was metal, smooth and sleek with spots of something sticky here and there. She didn't want to think of what it could possible be.

The air was stuffy and hot, her throat dry as sandpaper.

Alyssa reached out a hand and felt something round come in contact, smooth like the floor. She moved her hand to the left blindly, and felt another one just like it. They were bars. Bars like a cage.

She was trapped, with no where to go and in the dark.

Well, at least she was alive.

That's when she noticed breathing, two different from her own. And they sounded somewhat close.

Shittakki Mushrooms.

/

Raven slowly awoke in her cold and dark prison. She could hear Robin next to her, his breathing regular and calm. He should awake soon.

But suddenly, her muscles tensed, ears picking up any slight noise.

Someone was there.

"Who's there?" She barked, trying to search the darkness.

"Black Wolf"

/

Alyssa recognized Raven's voice, and was relieved she hadn't been locked up with something more... Deadly. Although angry Raven would provide some more deadliness.

"Who?" Raven asked.

Alyssa sighed, might as well tell her,"Alyssa"

/

Miss Fraidy was confused and afraid. She'd been looking for her master in this smelly-hot two-leg place, and had come up empty pawed. Her master would normally stay near her, but now her master is gone. And she can't find her master.

That left her afraid.

She crept along the shadows like her ancestors, eyes glowing from the darkness at two-legs that passed. She must stay hidden, as she was in enemy territory. If they found her it would be certain failure of her mission.

Another corner, into a sleek and cold hallway made of two-leg things.

She hoped to find her master soon.
