You's POV

You know, this really isn't fun. If it wasn't for Starfire right now, I'd probably be dead. 'Cause were being shot at by this lovely psycho lady.

And by lovely, I mean not. Not at all.

So of course, I stand my ground and wave Starfire off. She goes to take care of the lady and I try to get my balance.

There. I'm good.

I see Raven fly off, Tara and Slade ahead of her. They were getting away!

I ran (ish) off to follow them.

I ducked a robed man and then bumped into Raven. She stood, staring at Tara who was ontop a giant pillar of rock, yelling at Slade. He backed up, fear in his evil eyes.

Tara through up walls around them and then brought them all crashing inward, toppling onto Slade. There was no way he could have survived. Tara broke down onto her knees and screamed in anguish, the building collapsing.

"Get out of here!" Raven told me. "I can protect Tara from this but not both of you!"

She opened a portal before flying off through the debris to get to Tara.

Obviously staying here wouldn't help Raven, so I walked through.

I was just outside the building, people wearing robes were screaming and running past, trying to get away from the crumbling building.

"You!" I turned around and saw the man from before, his face red and blistered with burns. It was practically bubbling.

Ew.

I waited until he got closer, then I pushed him. He fell.

Cause and effect.

He got trampled. Opps.

"You!" I turned around again.

It was the team. They landed next to me.

Robin looked at the portal, then me.

"Raven?"

"She's still inside with Tara, but I'm sure she's fine. She has her force fields." As if wanting to spite me, the portal went out.

Though I'm sure they are still fine. Right? Raven was just closing the portal. Obviously I had already gone through, there was rock everywhere from coming through it.

I looked nervously at the buidling. More like heap now though.

"Tara Markov was a great person." Garfield said.

"There is no reason for anyone to be upset with her. Everyone makes bad decisions, and they always will. We're just human. Well, mostly, but you get the point. Tara is still a valued part of our team. You can trust her."

The radio man laughed, "You really like her, huh?"

I could almost hear Garfield blushing.

"Yup."

I looked over at Tara, who smiled from behind a peice of cake.

"You have icing on your chin." Raven said dully.

I saw Dick touch his chin from the corner of my eye and I smirked. He noticed and looked away, smiling sheepishly.

"He finally got that interview." Cori said.

"I'm sure he's upset it's not about him anymore though." Damian said.

"Uh huh." I nodded.

"Well. Jamie and I are about to head to the soup kitchen. Anyone want to join?" Tara asked.

We all offered our own different reasons not to and slowly everyone left the building.

I looked at Raven and smiled.

"You ready?" I asked her.

"Uh huh. You?" She looked at Damian.

"I'm always ready." He said.

"Great then lets get started." I said and then went to turn on the surveillance camera for the entrance, stetting it to go off if anyone other than the three of us is seen.

Damian was pouring some black powder in a bowl and Raven was mixing.

"I though we were using baking powder." I said.

"Yes, well this is more fun," Raven said, "you never know what kind of cool bombs you can make with weird black stuff that Damian carries around in his pockets."

I was very impressed that she said all that without smiling or breaking monotone.

"If I ever need an actor, I'll ask you." I told her.

"Why not Tara?" Damian asked.

Raven lightly smacked his arm and he snickered.

"Is it almost done?" I asked, looking at the thin black boom sauce.

"Yes. But be careful this is extremely thin and explosive. It's what the Arrow puts on his exploding arrows nowadays." Damian sid.

"Cool." I said.

"Not cool." He said.

"Big boom?" I asked in a baby voice.

"Yes."

"THAN COOL!" I yelled and snatched the bowl off the counter and ran through the door.

"Sing-Song! You'll make it explode!" Raven yelled.

"I know!" I laughed maniacally.

I started spilling it all over the training ground, twirling the highly explosive liquid around and splashing it all over the place.

"When you said we'd place it here strategically, I though you meant that. Not the exact opposite." Damian monotoned.

"Well. You were wrong. Now let's go rig the bedrooms."

The End.

Or is it?

"THANOS IS COMING!"

Wait. Scratch that.

"THE OTHER UGLY DUDE IS COMING, WHAT WAS HIS NAME AGAIN??"

OH YEAH, DARKSEID.

What does he do, lay eggs?

Does anyone ever wonder how he didn't get hurt when he threw Wonder Woman through a bunch of buildings and didn't get hurt, but he did get hurt when the Flash, who doesn't have super strength shoved a crowbar in his eye? I mean, think of all the debris that was going into his face when he was going through the buildings.

OK. The end.

For real.
