Featuring the return of Deathstroke!
Blue and Silver.
Chapter 6.
Escalation: Part II.
Crimelords.
Raven and I woke up to see an army of Slade-bots storming the tower and Deathstroke himself leading the charge. As the defense turrets activated Slade dodged and sent a hand grenade between the turrets. One Slade-bot opened the door by shooting it with a built-in shotgun, B.B and Cy rushed off to fight him and were soon unconscious. Starfire was outside fighting the second wave of Slade-bots head on and Robin was fighting Slade hand-to-hand somewhere in the basement of the tower.
That left me and Raven in the main room fighting off the first wave of bots and the Metahuman trio.
Well, the remainder of the Slade-bots and Cold War. Pyro got taken down when I blew up the bot next to him with a well timed laser. Raven use her telepathy to throw a bot at Brutality. The result was a broken window and a unconscious steroid addict.
There was about seven bots and a full-of herself ice queen against us.
Me and Rae glanced at each other and we both nodded. Raven blasted all the bots to kingdom come with dark energy and I released a vortex of silver electricity straight at Cold War.
When Cold War got up she haphazardly shot sharpened icicles at us before she looked us both in the eye.
"Fuck You." she said before her eyes rolled back into her head and she fainted.
We put hand cuffs on her unconscious body before running off to help someone. We saw Slade knock Robin into a wall before facing us.
"Yes, finally." he looked at me "Now where is your power source?"
I responded with a bolt of silver lightning. He dodged.
"Great, the energy is certainly stronger than Crimson's. Now where is the source?"
This time Raven unleashed two tendrils of dark energy and pinned Slade to a wall. Deathstroke didn't lose his cool.
"Unless you want to share Crimson's fate tell me where the energy is located." he threatened.
Raven used a third tendril to smack him before saying. "If you warm her I'll send you to a inter-dimensional hell to live forever with whatever remains of my father, you know your master."
Slade lost his cool and began struggling so Raven knocked him unconscious with the third tendril.
"He won't stay in jail, but it gives us time to plan and prepare." said Rae.
Robin came to and we filled him in.
Soon the J.C.P.D picked up Slade and the trio. They were all put under maximum security that doesn't officially exist. It completely suppresses a meta's powers. Glad I joined the Titans because does restriction collars deeply disturb me.
In the mean time me and Raven decided to go on a date while Cy evacuated the tower to test the auto-repair, if it works the tower will be completely self repaired before sundown.
Me and Raven changed into civilian clothes. I wore a brown leather jacket, a light blue camisole and a matching pleated skirt with a pair of stockings and black high heels.
Raven was dressed in a long-sleeve purple blouse, a black skirt, and black heels.
"Rachel, you look stunning."
"Nothing compared to you." she gave me a quick kiss
"Whatever, I'll pay for whatever you wanna do."
"Ah, Thank you." We flirted all the way out of the partially wrecked tower to see Robin sitting on the hood of a black Mercedes sedan waiting for Starfire. We was wearing a red tee, a black sport coat with a white hoodie under the jacket, a pair of jeans and smart shoes.
"Did you finally ask Star on a date?" asked Raven.
"Yeah, she's getting ready." he responded
"Nice car by the way. How did you get it?" I asked.
"My real name is Dick Grayson." He said as he took off his mask.
I nodded.
"So I'm assuming you two are also going out."
"Yeah." I said.
"Where?" he asked.
I glanced at Rae and she shook her head. "The first place we find that allows metahumans to enter."
"You can go with me and Star. The place is Wayne owned and has no major restrictions or dress code."
Me and Raven both nodded as Star came out in a dark blue dress. The dress ended about half way down her thigh, no longer than my own skirt and exposed much of her back.
"Do I look Nice?"
"You look stunning Star."
We all got in the car and headed over to the restaurant. The drive was pretty quick and we all just kinda chatted.
Once there we were lead to a booth at the far side of the place.
It was your average stereotypical double date despite how abnormal we all were, basically one of the few times we let are teenage sides out. It was fun, we all learned a bit about each over. Dick talked about his life with Bruce Wayne, a.k.a the Batman.
Star talked about how her life as an alien princess was.
Rae talked about her life in Azarath, mostly to Robin because me and Star already knew about most of her life there.
and I talked about how Crimson attempted to make his successor and his former goals. As I talked I realized I do actually feel sad that he got murdered by Slade just so he could get to me.
All of a sudden are communicators went off, Robin answered his, it was Cyborg.
"Yo you guys need to get to the prison, Slade escaped again and your closer. Slow him down while me and B.B get there!"
"Understood."
We left the restaurant and changed into the spare costumes that Robin apparently kept in the truck of his car that we never use. Those over-thinking bat fucks, seriously.
Then we drove off at full speed towards Jump Penitentiary.
