Starfire opens a communicator and Robin appears on it.

 

“TITANS! REPORT OT THE MAIN ROOM! AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, KEEP THE LIGHTS ON!” Robins image is held beneath him, and he is looking down into the communicator he holds.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

 

“HURRY! Flip the next switch!” Raven screams at Robin, as he flips the switch for the next hallway up, so the light goes on in that one too.

 

They arrive in the main room, which is pitch black, and turn the light and computer on. Robin begins to type on the keyboard, and Raven watches as the hall they just left's light blacks out.

 

“ROBIN! KEEP THE LIGHT ON!” She screams, and Robin nods. He throws a quarterstaff to her, so she can hold up the light switch from the doorway.

 

Robin continues typing, and looking in the files of villains for anyone who can DO this. He passes Trigon's files, and shakes his head. Gizmo? “No.” he slams his head on the keyboard. This is a new opponent all right.

 

Raven gasps as a figure runs down the hall at the door. `Is it one of the intruders?' she thinks to herself…

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

 

“DAMN IT, CYBORG! KEEP THE SPOTLIGHT ON!” Beast Boy screams as they run down the stairs to the middle floor. They should then come to the hall leading directly to the main room.

 

“I CAN'T!” He screams as the man appears in front of him, and punches him out. The one following Robin and Raven appears next to him, and they high-five each other.

 

“Fuck, there are two?” Beast Boy asks himself, as he turns into the beast, and tackles them. He roars, and tears them apart. Unfortunately, they sink into the shadows, and then cover him in a layer of darkness.

 

Cyborg stands up, and fires his cannon into them. They screech in pain, and disappear.

 

“DAMN!” Beast Boy screams, and they run into the main hall. They run as fast as possible, and the shadow men follow them.

 

Beast Boy, runs ahead, and sees Raven looking into the hall, directly at him. He smiles, as he runs into the light, and she slams a quarter staff into his face, knocking him into the hall again.

 

“GANG WAY!” Cyborg screams, running down the hall, and over Beast Boy who was knocked into the middle of the hall. The men appear in front of him, and he fires a sonic cannon blast at them.

 

The blast eats through them, and goes until it hits the light. Raven sees the blast, and uses a shield to protect herself, as Cyborg picks up Beast Boy, and runs into the room.

 

“OH MY GOD!” Raven says aloud, seeing that she almost killed Beast Boy. She heals him, and then he hugs her. “Okay, can I undo the healing?” She asks herself, and eh lets go.

 

“Was that thing chasing you too?” Robin asks.

 

“Thing? You mean THINGS! There are two of the little fuckers!” Cyborg screams to Robin, and he looks shocked.

 

“Then that means that Crow and Starfire are in deep trouble…”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

 

Crow screams as he holds Starfire ahead of him with his powers using her as a lamp. He sees the door leading to the stairway, and runs toward them. The man stops them, but the light hits him.

 

“BACK SHADOW MAN! BACK!” he says, as Starfire makes the wave of energy again, and eliminates the man again. He pushes though the doors, and looks as he sees two other shadow men.

 

“We are in the deep shit now…” Starfire says, as the third joins them. The third laughs, and the others laugh along with him.

 

“What's so funny?” Crow asks them, and the last to join speaks.

 

“We have you overpowered…” He says to crow, and Crow smiles.

 

“I don't see it that way…” He uses his powers to flick a light switch on, and the three of them scream. Smoking, they disappear.

 

“Thank you,” Starfire says, and hugs him.

 

“PLEASE!” He jumps away from her, and begins to walk up the stairs. She follows.

 

“You know, I used to be jealous that Raven had you, and I didn't,” she says, looking away.

 

Crow shrugs. “Well, I thought you had Robin…” Crow says, looking forward, eyes wide. He is afraid of her more than he is of the men.

 

“Yes, but you are understanding of women!” she appears in front of him, and he jumps back, almost falling down the stairs, “I remember, I could tell Raven liked the way you… did… t- that…” She says, pointing down, and he blushes, stepping back.

 

“Urm,” He looks at her like she's insane. “You don't understand, I have ALWAYS liked Raven, and she is my girlfriend, and you are her friend.”

 

“What? I thought you were my friend! I am not your friend?” She asks.

 

“Nooooo,” He looks around for an explanation, “I am Raven's… LOVER, and a LOVER is called a GIRLFRIEND.” He starts to make sexual hand gestures and nods, “I… fuck… my GIRLFRIEND.” He stops, and she nods. “You are my… FEMALE FRIEND,” he makes sexual gestures again but shakes his head instead, “I DO NOT fuck my FEMALE FRIENDS,” he puts his hands down.

 

“Oh… no, I mean the kissing too,” She says and he begins to sweat.

 

“It is the same thing, except, One, I can't use those hand movements, and, Two, it is slightly less of an extreme.” He walks on.

 

“Then she won't get as an-“

 

“DAMN IT, STARFIRE! I DON'T LIKE YOU THAT WAY!” he walks a step up, and gets pulled into his shadow.

 

His hand stays out of it, and Starfire pulls him out, and he breathes for air. “I guess we can't stay away from all shadows…” She walks on, angry.

 

“Ok, this is better than you groping me…” He smiles, and walks on. They open the door to the next floor, and are greeted by the three shadow men.

 

“No place to go…” one says, and punches Crow.

 

“STARFIRE USE THOSE ENERGY… THINGS!” Crow says, as one of the shadow men holds him down.

 

“No.” she walks off, and the talking shadow tackles her.

 

“Hey baby…” it says into her ear as it begins to pull her skirt off. She screams, and blasts the fuck out of them all.

 

Crow stands up, charred, and runs for the door. He stops, and stops Starfire too, “Robin's a much better guy anyway,” he says, and he runs into the light room. She agrees and follows.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

 

Crow and Starfire run into the room. Crow hugs Raven, and Robin hugs Starfire.

 

“There are three of those bastards,” Pants crow.

 

“Oh god…” Raven says.

 

“What the fuck are those guys?” Beast Boy asks.

 

“I think they may be that guy Crow told us about,” Cyborg says, “What were his powers?”

 

“Well, I don't know… but they can't be. There was only one. And he looked human, no different from Robin. He had the same hair, but a scar on his cheek, and on the other was a mole. He was a sorcerer, so I don't think he would do this.” Crow says.

 

“Tell us about this man,” Starfire says.

 

“All right,” Crow says, and he tells them the story.

 

“Well, I think we're safe in the light,” Robin says, and h goes back to the computer.
