Dr. David Crow opened his eyes and found himself in a dark room.
"What the hell?" he thought as he tried to get up only to find out his arms and legs had been tied up.
As David tried to remember what got him here the room started to move.
"An earthquake?"
He heard tires squeal.
And then felt his body slam into a wall.
"Alright," he thought, "I'm in the trunk of a car."
Three hours ago
Dr. Crow walked into room 428.
"Hello." He said to one of the patient's in bed.
"Yeah, yeah." The patient said back.
"So," Dr. Crow said as he looked at the chart, "Jon Doe, it looks like you're almost ready to go."
"Yippy." He answered.
"Now, now no need for that."
The patient turned to him.
"Well sorry, I'm just not looking forward to leaving. Maybe it's your great food."
Dr. Crow eyebrows rise.
"Really," he said, "Why don't you tell me the truth?"
"Why do you care?"
"Grim curiosity."
"Curiosity killed the cat."
"I'm no cat."
"No…just an ugly looking dog."
"Flattery will get you nowhere."
"Fine," the patient said, "What do you want to know?"
"Well for starters what's your real name?"
"Jon Doe the second. Next question."
"How old are you?"
"Old enough."
Dr. Crow rolled his eyes.
"Ok," he said, "What happen to your face."
"Fell down the stairs."
"What were you doing passed out on the beach?"
"I wanted a tan."
Dr. Crow gave up.
"Just trying to help." He said as he walked over to the other patient.
David
David felt the car stop and heard someone getting out.
"What took you so long?" one of the voices who sounded female said.
"This." A second voice that was unmistakably male.
The trunk opened and David saw two figures standing over him.
"Who's that?" the girl's voice asked.
"Our delivery boy." The man said.
The girl then handed the man a brown envelope.
But the only thing David noticed was that her hands were bloody.
"You did it all by yourself?" The man asked.
"Yeah," she answered, "they did put up a bit of a fight."
She pointed to her face which had a huge scratch mark.
"I would have helped." The man said as he took the envelope.
"That's ok…I wanted to blow off some steam."
The man then put the envelope next to David.
"Watch it for me please." The man said as he close the trunk.
Two hours ago
Dr. Crow walked down the hallway towards the break room.
"I DON'T CARE!" he heard a booming voice.
He recognizes the voice instantly.
It was the hospital administrator.
"THIS IS A HOSPITAL NOT A PRISON! I WANT HIM OUT OF HERE!"
"Yes sir." A voice answered.
"NOW!"
"Yes sir." The voice repeated.
As Dr. Crow continued to walk down the hallway a group of Titans passed him.
Dr. Crow had seen them on TV countless times but never in person.
"Yes sir…yes sir…yes sir. Damn that was painful to watch."
"No kidding."
"Well can you blame him?"
"No I can't."
"Well it can't be helped. Let's go to Pantha and Jericho."
David
David didn't know how long they had been driving before they stopped nor did he care.
All he wanted was to be back at home with his family.
The car then stopped and the trunk opened up.
"Alright," the man said as he pulled him out and untied him, "Now, isn't that better?"
David didn't say anything.
"Now," the man pulled out David's wallet, "Dr. Crow, follow me."
David didn't say anything as they started walking.
David looked around to get his bearings straight.
They were in one of the city's parks about two miles away from the hospital.
"Ok." The man said as he handed David the envelope, "You know how to get to the hospital from here right?"
David nodded.
"Good," he said, "Now get walking and deliver this, and don't even think about going to police."
He then pulled picture out of David's wallet.
"It would be a shame if anything happens to your wife."
One and half hour ago
Dr. Crow looked outside the window of the break room and saw a huge group of titans surrounding one man in the hospitals parking lot.
The man was in chains.
Curiosity got the best of Dr. Crow as he opened the window to eavesdrop.
"Overkill don't you think?" the man in chains said.
"I was thinking the same thing." One of the Titans said, "Herald, you ready?"
Herald nodded.
To Dr. Crow surprise a portal open up in the middle of the parking lot and the man along with half of the titans walked through it.
David
David walked through the city towards the hospital holding the brown envelope.
All he could think about was his wife.
She put up with so much from him.
Those long work hours.
The fact that every time he would come home he would just go straight to bed.
All he wanted now was to just see her and tell her that he loved her.
He looked at the envelope for the first time.
On it scribbled in big bold letters was TITANS.
He didn't dare open it.
He was too afraid that whoever gave it to him was watching.
One hour ago
Dr. Crow walked to his car and opened the door. As he got in and started the engine the radio blared through the speakers.
"A total of 22 bodies have been found in the building that collapsed today. Thankfully 53 people have been pulled out of the wreckage by the Teen Titans. As the police and the Titan-"
David turned off the radio.
He didn't want to hear it.
It had been a long day at work and he needed sleep.
However he never got the chance.
Steer stepped in front of the car as Dr. Crow tried to drive out.
"Come on." Dr. Crow said as he honked his horn.
Steer didn't say anything as he walked up to the driver side window.
"What's your probl-"
Dr. Crow never saw the punch coming.
The hospital
Robin paced back and forth in the waiting room hopeful for any news about Starfire.
"You should have gone with them." Hotspot said as he entered the room.
"I'm fine here." He said.
"Sure you are." Hotspot said as he sat down in a chair.
"So why are you here?"
"Well someone's gota keep an eye on you."
Robin smiles and sits in the chair next to him.
"Thanks."
"Anytime."
"Um…excuse me." A voice came from the side.
Hotspot and Robin turned their head and saw one of the doctors.
Robin got up almost immediately.
"Doc," he said, "How is she?"
"Look…"the doctor said, "I'm just doing what they told me."
"What?" Robin asked.
"They wanted me to…give you this."
"What are you talking about?" Hot spot said as he got up.
The doctor handed them an envelope and walked away.
"Hey!" Robin said as he ran after him, "What's this all about."
The doctor turned to him.
"Please," he said, "I don't know anything. Let me just go home."
Robin wanted to ask the doctor more questions.
But the look on the doctor's face stopped him.
"Um…sure." Robin said, "Go home."
The doctor gave a weak smile.
"Thank you."
As the Doctor walked away Robin and Hotspot opened the envelope.
In it was two small fingers cut off at the knuckle and a small note that said, 'Your move Titans'.
