This chapter is just one scene, but don't worry, more stuff to come!

Bethany's POV:

I jumped down, just like I had done a thousand times off of the roof of my house. I landed and then forced myself into a roll to keep the momentum. I ended up rolling all over shards of glass and pieces of splintered wood. My back was definitely going to be scraped up after this. I made a mental note to ask Robin to teach me a better way to jump off of two story buildings.

I used the momentum of my roll to bound back up and grab an unsuspecting Bane right at the neck.

My heart started racing extremely fast from nervousness, fear, and excitement.

I wrapped my legs around Banes upper torso and held the strongest choke hold I could do on him. He struck around trying to hit me, but I just held on tighter. Did Bane feel bigger than before? I did my research on him before we came, and it said that he could pump himself with venom to make himself stronger. Did he already do that? Because it felt like his shoulders were growing and jumping underneath me. I looked down to see that a yellowish red liquid was pumping through the tubing in his suit. Oh shit.

Before I could think of a way to destroy it, two burly arms grabbed me from behind and flung me across the room and into the wall. I hit it with a crack and collapsed to the floor, my cape billowing over me.

I looked up, the room shifting and tilting around. Was the room pulsing black and fading out, or was that just me? My head must have hit the wall. I looked at the wall and sure enough, there was a dent from where I had hit it.

"Huntress!" I heard someone yell my name. I think it was Robin, but I couldn't tell because there was a ringing in my ears.

Someone tugged me to my feet. Robin.

"Move!" He yelled in my ear. He grabbed my hand, familiarly, and tugged me away. I blindly ran with Robin, looking behind me in time to see Bane crash into the spot that we were just standing on. We ran back towards the others, but suddenly, Robin dropped my hand and collapsed onto the ground next to me with a groan. The next thing I knew, I was joining him. I clutched my temples and curled up in a ball, rolling back and forth. The whole room spun and tilted and I couldn't think about anything except the pain in my head. It stopped.

I looked up to see a grinning Psimon and behind him, Bane barreled at us. Time moved slowly. I looked straight into Bane's bloodshot eyes and realized that he wasn't heading for me. He was heading for Robin!

"Robin!" I screamed. He was still on the floor, rubbing his head, oblivious to the 200 pound boulder about to crush him. He looked up at me slowly, not processing what was happening. Bane was only ten feet away. 7 feet. He jumped and leapt into the air and was about to pound Robin when something knocked him aside.

Superboy!

"I got him!" Superboy yelled over the noise of fighting echoing in the warehouse. Superboy and Bane pounded each other back and forth, creating more holes in the wall and floor.

I looked over to see that Psimon was standing still and M'gann was standing in front of him. They were completely still, but no one was attacking the other.

"Mind battle," Robin groaned to me, like he had read my mind. He stood up slowly, still rubbing his head. I stood up with him and together, we raced towards the machines that were still piling up new vials of Kobra-venom. I looked, but didn't see Lex Luthor anywhere. Only goons, Bane, Psimon, and a very pissed off Artemis, Aqualad, and KF fighting a stupid Klarion.

Robin took the controls, his back turned to the battle. I stood behind him and covered for him. Two goons tried to attack Robin, but I defended him and lashed out. I used the new double kick technique that Black Canary had taught us last week and got both of them right after each other. Goon after goon came left and right like a never ending supply. I was struggling to keep up with the amount that kept coming at Robin. Embarrassingly, one even got past me, but before he could strike Robin, Robin threw a punch over his shoulder, without even looking, and hit the guy with surprising accuracy.

"Ugh, sorry, Robin," I called over my shoulder as I kicked a guy straight in the nose. Blood spurted onto my clothes, but I kept moving. I whirled around and punched a guy in the gut, with my knuckle sticking out a little bit to increase the effect.

"No worries," Robin said casually. His fingers were flying all over the controls.

"Robin, can you please hurry up?" I asked as casually as I could, although I was grunting with the effort it took to speak and kick at the same time.

"Done. Let's go!" He ran towards the bioship that was hovering in front of the huge gaping hole in the wall. A goon grabbed my leg before I could run after him. I grabbed his arm and twisted it awkwardly and heard him roar in pain. Then, without letting go of his arm, I kicked him in the face and then shoved him down. He was an unmoving heap on the ground. I bolted after Robin, far behind him because the goon had slowed me down. Robin made it into the bioship and looked back at me, waiting for me to get there, too.

We were done! We'd done it! Or so I thought.

"Not so fast, little brat," A high pitched voice screeched at me.

I halted to a stop. Of all the people he could have picked on to fight. He chose me. The most unexperienced, non-super powered person on the entire Team. Well, that's probably why he chose to fight me. But still! Past him, I saw Robin freeze, his eyes widening. He jumped back out of the bioship, ready to come to my aid. He must have known how unprepared I was for this kind of an unfair fight.

*No!* I told Robin, *I'm not going to fight him. I'll just - I'll be fine.*

*But-* He started to protest.

*Trust her. Do as she says,* Aqualad commanded. He, Artemis, and Superboy were running towards the bioship.

"What do you want, bitchboy?" I asked nonchalantly. I spat at his feet and grabbed a knife from my boot. As I moved my hand over my belt, I secretly grabbed some smoke pellets. I wasn't really sure how they worked, but I'm pretty sure they're just supposed to explode when you throw them, right? I grabbed three just to be sure. That should mask my plan.

He frowned.

"That's no way to talk to someone who's trying to help you!" He whined, "Join me, and then you won't always have to do what they boss you around to say. You can be with me," His whiny voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard and he even had the guts to wink at the end.

What he said caught me off guard. Help me? But my surprise was immediately replaced with a mask of ferociousness. I would not have people taking advantage of my inexperience.

"I'm not going to fall for your mind games!" I shouted as I threw the gas pellets at Klarion and immediately, gas billowed around him, making him stutter and cough, his cat whined in protest.

I jumped through the cloud, my knife slashing around wildly. I couldn't really see where Klarion was, but I could only guess. I felt the knife shudder as it made contact with flesh, but I kept moving. I ran blindly through the gas and jumped into the bioship.

"GO!" I shouted, my voice cracked at the end because of all the smoke I had inhaled. Note: Don't inhale smoke pellets. You're supposed to choke the enemy, not yourself. Smooth, Bethany.

Immediately, the ship took off at a rapid speed, my feet were still hanging out. Wally came and helped me into the ship. I noticed that he had a limp.

"Here you go, beautiful," He said, giving a wink and a smile.

I stole a glance back at the scene that we left behind. Klarion was standing in the middle of smoking ruins of what was left of the warehouse. His arm had blood dripping down, but he still managed to continue stroking his cat disapprovingly.

He called after me, "Have it your way! But just know, I warned you!" His voice faded away as we reached a higher speed and his figure receded as the bioship door closed, ensuring my safety.
