Crow - Danger

The alarm sounds, and I panic. I don't know why, I just do. I'm scared - why, on the one day when everything could go wrong, it does? In my class, everyone is worried, and shouting and yelling and asking what the hell is going on. I know we need to be quiet, because if there's actually a threat, they'll know where we are. I don't say anything, just slowly stand up, and get on top of a table. My Crow instincts kick in, and I yell, "SHUT UP!"

Surprisingly it works, and so I continue, glancing at the teacher, who appears to have fainted.

"If there is someone inside the building, do you think that maybe he'll come towards a room that's filled with a lot of yelling? Maybe being really noisy isn't going to help our situation. Just shut up. Oh, and someone, please look after the teacher."

For some reason, they decide to listen, and so I slip out of the room, wondering if Nick's okay. I head down the hall, to his class, and I notice the corridors are bare - which I assume means everyone's in lockdown. I keep walking, glancing around every so often.

I pass many classes, and in all of them, I see either a student or a teacher taking control of the panicking students. I have no idea who, or where our attacker is, but I do know, that I probably shouldn't be out in the halls by myself.

But I need to know if Nick's okay, and I need to make sure that everyone's safe - it's my responsibility as Crow. I wonder if any of the Supers will come and save us, or if the Justice Crew will come save the day, or if it'll be up to me to step up and help.

I'm really close to Nick's class when the lights around me flicker off. They're still on about three metres away, but the spot I'm standing is in total darkness. I realise I'm dealing with a hacker, or just a genius - someone who can hack both the cameras and the electrical circuits to such precision.

This may be too much for me to handle on my own. I decide I'm going to need the Justice Crew's help, or else I might actually die. I reach into my backpack, taking out my phone.

Suddenly, I feel a hand on my shoulder, and I can sense someone standing behind me. I freeze, scared. I wonder if it's Nick, but then I decide he wouldn't creep up on me like that. I slowly turn around, and come face to face with the man from my nightmares - Rattlesnake.
