Robin crouched behind the two, feeling much better than before. His muscles were still sore and stingy, but at least they were useable.
They had filled him in on the previous happenings, and he'd been surprised to find the identity of this Black Wolf Character.
Raven peered around the corner, before giving the all clear, a thumb up. They all scuttled around the corner, Miss Fraidy in the middle of them, and continued down the hallway.
Occasionally, they would have to backtrack and hide around a corner to keep from being spotted by someone going down the same hallway. It was getting tedious, having already backtracked to the same corner around 10 times already. Robin had already lost count, mostly because his brain was still processing the new information from when he was knocked out.
"This is taking too long..." he grumbled under his breath. Immediately a hand clapped itself over his mouth as a guard stopped in front of them.
A tense pause, the three tried to slow their breath. The guard looked in the opposite hallway, then left.
There was a resounding relieved sigh throughout the group, Fraidy looking up at them in curiosity.
Robin pushed away what was apparently Raven's hand," There has to be a better way to do this!" he pointed out, frustration leaking into his voice.
"Well the ventilation ducts are too small." Black Wolf pointed out.
"Obviously..." Robin muttered darkly.
"We need to think up a plan." Raven told the other two," We need strategy, we can't just come running out of here guns ablaze!"

Cyborg was starting to realize that this guy was a bigger problem than he could imagine.
The guy wasn't really faster than him, but he had agility. He was evading the crowds smoothly like he was used to this kind of thing, while Cyborg ended up accidentally plowing through them. There had to be a better way to catch up!
He looked about a bit, still running, and something caught his eye. A car had parked nearby, the owner just getting out with the keys in his hand.
Cyborg quickly swung around and jumped into the car, grabbing the keys from the unexpecting joe's hand.
"I'll give it back!" Cy shouted as he closed the door and tore off after the criminal.
This time, he was not getting away.
/
"I can't believe we're running out of here gun's ablaze." Raven deadpanned.
"Oh come on Raven, this idea is perfect!" Robin grinned maniacally as he loaded more barrels of gunpowder into the cart.
"I agree with Raven, this seems a tad ex-"
Black Wolf couldn't finish as Robin lit the fuse of the barrels.
"Azirath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven comcentrated, the cart suddenly started flying down the hallway at top speeds from the magic push.

"Hey Frank!" a thug sipped his coffee at the entrance to the factory, waving over to his friend. Frank ambled over lazily.
"Hey Charles, got stuck with door duty?"
"Ya, but it's not actually that bad!"
"How so?"
"Well, it may be boring, but it's a lot quieter here since no one really uses these doors. Besides! It's so quiet I can catch up on my soap operas!" he pointed to a TV set that showed a soap opera.
"Well that's great! Hey, how are your kid-"
Something flew by them at extreme speeds, and Frank could only press the Emergency button before he was engulfed in the explosion.
/
The structure of the factory shook from the force of the explosion, dust falling from the ceiling.
"That probably alerted the whole factory to our presence!" Black Wolf shouted, throwing out her hands in exasperation.
"Then lets get out of here!" Robin was already halfway down the hall.
Raven shook her head and followed behind, Wolf only a couple steps behind her. Wolf noticed an open room as they ran, and quickly went into there. She found Robin's weapons, and grabbed them. She quickly caught up to the other two, and tossed Robin's weapons to him. He caught them, putting back on his belt and metal pole. He gave a nod of thanks, and they continued on.

Cyborg heard a loud boom, but really couldn't pay much attention to it at the moment. A cloud was sent up into the air within his view, and then he sighed.
He had a good guess where the lost titans and Alyssa were.
Mostly because Arkham patients aren't allowed near any explosives, and where Robin keeps his explosives is not usually searched for the sake of modesty.
A loud horn sounded, starting Cyborg. He automatically spun the wheel to avoid the oncoming car.
He heard the squeal of tires as he went off the road and onto the sidewalk. There was a crunch as the car hit into a building, thankfully not breaking through.
The force of the impact threw Cyborg's head forward into the steering wheel. A dying honk sounded, and Cyborg hissed in pain, having bitten his tongue from the force of the impact.
He tasted a metallic substance that rolled around a bit within his mouth.
Cyborg sighed and got out the car, quickly checking the front in case any citizens got hit.
Thankfully he was the only one injured, well as far as he knew. The other car driver could be a goner as far as he knew.
The other driver could be really hurt, but still have a chance. It'd be quick. He could call in and be out of there by the time the police arrived.
But the man would be lost by then in the heavily populated streets of Gotham. And if not stopped, he would probably kill more.
So which was more important? The life of an innocent that if he abandoned could possibly die? Or the justice of a murderer who would kill even more innocents?
Cyborg ground his teeth as he stared at the car as if it was its fault.
The more time he spent thinking about this, the more it became possible that there would be no need of a decision.
Cyborg made a decision.
