"Owl, come in." Steer said over the headset.

"This is Owl."

"Black Widow is hurt."

Owl groans, first Wolf makes a loud, noisy, and completely unnecessary spectacle in the plaza and now this.

"How bad is it?"

"Gunshot wound on her right shoulder."

Owl put his hand on face. Gunshot wounds were the worst.

They couldn't just drop her off at the hospital since all gunshot wounds were reported to the police. And they couldn't give her to one of their own secret doctors since they didn't know anyone in this city. Luckily Owl knew how to do surgery on the wound but that meant that he would have to spend the rest of the day with Black Widow instead of finding the last target for the day.

"Ok," Owl said, "was the target at least eliminated?"

"Yes."

"Alright, give me your location and I'll be there in a minute."

Before Steer could speak Barracuda's voice came over the head set.

"Owl, come in." Barracuda said.

"Oh God," Owl thought, "Now what."

"This is Owl." He answered.

"Our target is eliminated, requesting permission to go after the next one."

Owl let out a sigh of relief.

"Permission granted good work."

He then turned to Eel.

"Go with them." He ordered.

Eel didn't want to leave Owl, but she knew this was the best course of action.

"Yes sir." She said.

As Eel went on the headset asking for Barracuda and Boa's location Owl headed for Steer.

"Owl, Fox would like to talk." Fox's voice came over the headset.

Owl took a deep breath.

Fox almost never used his headset to talk to someone; you always had to call him up first.

So if Fox wanted to talk to him something big must have gone down.

"What is it Fox?"

"Wolf with leader of other team."

Owl's eyes went wide.

It was only 9:15 in the morning and today was already turning out to be very interesting.

Wolf and Robin

Control Freak could barely open his eyes; Wolf had pounded his face so badly that he was sure he was blind in one of his eyes. He could, however just barely make out Robin standing just twenty feet from him and Wolf.

"Help." Control Freak said weakly.

"Yes," Wolf taunted, "help him O mighty hero."

Robin instantly recognized the voice. It was the same boy from the mall.

"Robin!" Starfire's voice came over his communicator, "Have you seen anything."

Robin didn't answer. He just stood there with his fists clench.

"Robin huh," Wolf smiled, "so that's your name."

Robin didn't say anything back.

"Well are we going to do this," Wolf said as he walked away from Control Freak and towards Robin, "or not?"

Robin wanted to say yes. He wanted to fight Wolf and save Control Freak. He wanted to be the hero.

But a nagging thought kept him.

There was no doubt in his mind that his team with the help of titans east could beat the assassins.

The problem was this.

How many of his teammates…his friends would be killed in the process.

To Robin, just one of them would be one too many.

"Come on!" Wolf taunted as he got closer to Robin, "What are you waiting for?"

Once again Robin didn't say anything.

Wolf was starting to get frustrated.

"Fox, come in." he said only to find out that his headset had also been destroyed by the shotgun's blast.

Wolf's robotic red eyes rolled in his metal skull.

"FOX!" He yelled, "GET DOWN HERE! NOW!"

Robin saw a thin five foot tall young man jump into the alleyway behind wolf. He had long unkempt red hair, a dirty white shirt, and holes in his blue jeans; he also wasn't wearing any shoes.

"Fox," Wolf said, "when I count to three I want you to kill the target."

"Yes Wolf, Fox would love to kill." Fox said.

"Now what are you going to do?" Wolf said as he eyed Robin.

Robin was shaking with anger, he wanted to stop this.

"One."

"Help me..." Control Freak pleaded.

"Two."

"Robin, come in!" Starfire's panicky voice came over the communicator.

Robin grabbed his communicator and brought it to his lips.

"Hold it." Wolf said to Fox, "He's going to call his friends for backup."

Robin gave Wolf an angry look.

"Go ahead, we'll wait," Wolf smiled, "the more the merrier."

Robin then said something that he knew he would regret for the rest of his life.

"Starfire…I don't see anything. Keep looking."

Even though it was a metal skull with no skin on it you could tell that Wolf's face turned to pure anger.

"Three."

Fox jumped on Control Freak, grabbed his head, and gave it a quick twist.

Robin could hear his neck breaking.

"Let's go." Wolf said.

Wolf and Fox disappeared into the smoke.

After a few seconds Robin talked into his communicator.

"Starfire, Raven, come in."

"What is it?"

"It's Control Freak, we're too late."

As he waited for them to come he punched the wall out of anger.

Wolf and Fox

"Wolf! Fox! Come in!" Owl yelled over the headset.

"Fox here." Fox answered.

"What happened?"

"Team kept truce."

Owl wasn't surprised about that; he was more worried about Wolf breaking it.

"Where's Wolf?" Owl asked.

"With Fox."

"Tell him to call me."

"Can't"

"What do you mean can't?"

"Wolf headset broke."

"Then give him your headset!" Owl yelled.

Fox handed Wolf his headset.

"What do you want?" Wolf asked with a pissed off tone.

"What happen back there?" Owl demanded.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Well to bad, because I do."

"LOOK!" Wolf yelled into the headset, "You were right and I was wrong! HAPPY?"

Wolf then crush Fox's headset in his hand.

Titans Tower

The three titans entered the living room.

Both Raven and Starfire notice that something was wrong with Robin.

"Do not fret Robin." Starfire said, "We will find the murderers."

Robin didn't answer, he just placed his hands on the table with his head down.

Raven went up to Robin and places her hand on his shoulder.

"Look," she said, "it wasn't your fault. We just didn't get there in time."

Robin's temper exploded.

He grabbed the table and flipped it.

He knocked over all the kitchenware on the counter.

He threw a chair through the window.

He even punched his hand right through their big screen TV.

Starfire looked scared. She had never seen Robin like this before.

"Robin…what is-"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" he yelled.

Starfire and Raven were taken aback.

"But-" Starfire tried to say.

"GO!" he screamed.

With tears in Starfire's eyes and a worried look on Raven's face, the two slowly left the room.
