Episode 9: The Broken

  BEST READ WITH THE BLACK ON WHITE TEXT(moon looking button):

  Music to listen to.

  Opening: Doughboyz Cashout – City of Dealers

  INT. CONFERENCE ROOM DAY

  FADE IN:

  We see Ness, Red Fiend, and Toji standing in front of Batman on a monitor.

  NESS

  (Serious)

  So that's what you wanted to see us for?

  BATMAN

  Yes.

  NESS

  And what about Cyber Rider and Zara?

  BATMAN

  They've been approved for their hero certifications.

  RED FIEND

  (Smirk expression)

  To think, the youngest is actually taking his second in command duties seriously.

  TOJI

  (Smirks)

  Yeah, it surprised me too.

  NESS

  (Annoyed)

  Fuck y'all.

  TOJI

  (Still Smirking)

  The girls might enjoy tha-

  NESS

  Nigga, really?

  RED FIEND

  Anyway, Batman, what's going to happen with Superman?

  BATMAN

  (Serious)

  He'll be in jail until his court hearing.

  TOJI

  (Serious as he remembers the previous day)

  Hope he rots too.

  NESS

  Same, or else I done fucked up letting him live.

  BATMAN

  No, you did the right thing. Jaison, this is not-

  NESS

  (Anger builds as he clenches his fist)

  The fuck you mean I did the right thing? This asshole tried to...make more heroes by trying to use the ladies...and leave no witnesses. Raven's been...

  Red Fiend and Toji put one hand on each of Ness's shoulders to calm him down.

  BATMAN

  Didn't you once say that it comes with the territory?

  NESS

  (Shocked)

  I...

  BATMAN

  You cared enough to promise someone you'd stay alive and it almost cost them their lives. The Teen Titans are breaking, and just because you're Ness, doesn't mean anything, you're still just a talented vigilante.

  TOJI

  (Smirks)

  One that beat Superman.

  RED FIEND

  (Serious)

  Which will put a target on his back.

  BATMAN

  And as a vigilante level 2 threat, you'd be in trouble if you weren't in my care.

  RED FIEND

  (Surprised expression)

  Wait, so that’s why Ness got pardoned?

  TOJI

  (Confused)

  Yeah, I found that weird too. Batman, you're a Vigilante, right?

  BATMAN

  Only in Gotham. I'm a Class 3 Hero, which gave us a limited number of pardons.

  RED FIEND

  (Nods)

  I see.

  NESS

  (Thinking to himself)

  I might need to train everyone, especially considering these villains are getting better.

  BATMAN

  There is one more reason I needed you guys. There's a possible threat looming over us.

  NESS

  (Serious)

  You mean hero's becoming mind controlled?

  RED FIEND

  (Curious)

  So thats why you fought Aquaman?

  NESS

  Yep. So it seems we may have moles on the inside.

  RED FIEND

  (Thinking outloud)

  Or one of you got compromised.

  NESS

  So what's the lead you got?

  BATMAN

  None.

  NESS

  (Smirks)

  Cool, we got a week off and we can't find a lead.

  TOJI

  (Smirks as well)

  So we make one huh?

  RED FIEND

  (Smirk expression)

  As it seems.

  [Hook]

  INT. TITANS TOWER DAY

  CUT TO:

  We now see Raven, Wonder Woman and a crying Zara wishing goodbye to Mari at the outside front of the tower.

  MARI

  Well its time for me to go.

  ZARA

  (Crying anime tears)

  Noooo.

  MARI

  Now, Sis, behave.

  ZARA

  (Sniffling)

  Ok...Sis.

  MARI

  (Smirks)

  Love you too. Raven, keep my student out of trouble, same goes to you, Milf.

  WONDER WOMAN

  (Smirks as well)

  Will do, little girl.

  With that, Mari leaves on a boat driven by Cyber Rider while the others head back to Raven's room...

  ZARA

  Wonder Woman, why is Batman insisting we don't tell the boys about Superman?

  WONDER WOMAN

  Ness.

  ZARA

  What exactly happened after I blacked out?

  WONDER WOMAN

  (Angry)

  That evil man, tried to turn us into his breeding stock.

  ZARA

  (Angry as well)

  That monster.

  RAVEN

  (Remembering the previous day as she starts trembling)

  .....

  ZARA

  (Worried)

  Raven?

  WONDER WOMAN

  (Sighs in depression)

  He-

  RAVEN

  (Serious)

  Stop.

  WONDER WOMAN

  Raven, you can't keep this in. Its ok-

  RAVEN

  (Angry)

  Why can't I?

  WONDER WOMAN

  Because he has a hearing and more than likely they'll want our testimonies.

  RAVEN

  And he'll win and probably make us look like sluts.

  WONDER WOMAN

  (Confused)

  What do you mean?

  RAVEN

  (Calms down)

  Think about it, the way we are dressed, the fact that he's a known for being a saint...if they try to spin it on us...

  ZARA

  I don't know, Wonder Woman, we may have to hope the assault charges hold out.

  WONDER WOMAN

  (Angry)

  And what if they dont? That means he's back in Metropolis like nothing happened.

  ZARA

  And probably come to kill Ness.

  WONDER WOMAN

  Not if I stop him.

  RAVEN

  How when took us apart?

  WONDER WOMAN

  Raven, its ok-

  RAVEN

  No it's not,I gave up...I thought it was-

  WONDER WOMAN

  Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  Enough-

  RAVEN

  He's exposed us. He's-

  WONDER WOMAN

  (Serious)

  This is my competition for Ness? Maybe I was wrong. He needs a strong woman, not you.

  Raven is shocked by her words...

  RAVEN

  Leave him out of this. You don't-

  WONDER WOMAN

  Know what his promise he made to you was? How will he keep it when he's down?

  RAVEN

  I'll-

  Raven then has a realization which instills strength in her...

  WONDER WOMAN

  What? Cry?

  RAVEN

  (Serious)

  I'll protect him.

  WONDER WOMAN

  (Smiles)

  Good. Now that’s the warrior I know you are. If you ever fight Superman, it won't be easy, but I know you can beat him.

  ZARA

  (Worried)

  Raven, what exactly happened?

  RAVEN

  Superman...broke me...made me give up hope...and almost raped me.

  ZARA

  (Confused)

  What?! But, Wonder Woman, why are you being so hard on Raven about this?

  WONDER WOMAN

  (Sighs in depression)

  Because, if Raven didn't admit to what had happened to her, she'd become his. I've seen it happen before to one of my sisters. We thought she was ok but the man had came back when we had let our guard down. It took us days to find her, but she was gone mentally.

  ZARA

  (Anger builds as she clenches his fist)

  And he was gonna do that, to all of us.

  WONDER WOMAN

  (Depressingly sighs)

  Its never easy being a heroine.

  ZARA

  (Serious)

  Even so, I refused to give up.

  RAVEN

  (Serious)

  People need us and so do those we love.

  ZARA

  (Smirks)

  Especially Ness.

  RAVEN

  Shut up.

  Ayooooooooooooo FO$T DA WRITER in this bitch. I know y'all probably like where you been. Well Im a Lets Play/Streamer/group owning/content creator now. But You know I had to come back

  INT. NESS'S ROOM DAY

  FADE IN:

  As Ness answers the door to his room...

  NESS

  (Confused)

  Raven?

  RAVEN

  (Smiles)

  Can we talk?

  NESS

  (Curious)

  Yeah.

  Ness lets Raven in the room and closes the door...

  RAVEN

  (Faces Ness)

  I want to learn some more fighting moves.

  NESS

  (Curious)

  So, you want to add more moves to your repertoire huh?

  RAVEN

  (Shocked)

  You actually know that word?

  NESS

  (Rolls his eyes in annoyance)

  Really?

  RAVEN

  (Smirks)

  Couldn't resist.

  NESS

  Anyway yeah, I'll teach you some of my moves and then I'll teach you some tricks with your power.

  RAVEN

  (Confused)

  But you don't know how my powers work.

  NESS

  In many ways, yeah, but like the Larson Blades, I can improvise. By the time I'm done, you'll be able to match a lot of close-range fighters.

  RAVEN

  Really?

  NESS

  Yep, we'll use my training grounds.

  RAVEN

  (Suspicious)

  But, what can I do for you in return?

  NESS

  Nothing, honestly improvement and learning from a loss, are how I got to this level. So in turn, I want you to give this training 100%.

  RAVEN

  (Smirks)

  I promise.

  With that, Raven follows Ness.

  Until Beastboy bumps into them...

  BEASTBOY

  Ow!

  NESS

  My bad.

  BEASTBOY

  (Annoyed)

  You.

  NESS

  (Confused)

  Me?

  BEASTBOY

  Where are you going?

  RAVEN

  Training.

  BEASTBOY

  With him?

  NESS

  Yeah, you got a problem?

  BEASTBOY

  Yeah, you're a killer, what can you teach?

  NESS

  A lot.

  RAVEN

  Can you two please relax.

  NESS

  (Annoyed)

  It ain't me.

  BEASTBOY

  Yeah it is, we lost Superman because of you basically. He was so dead set on killing you, that it warped his mind into-

  NESS

  (Steps up to BeastBoy)

  Into what? A bitch? Bro I'm done with you hatin', either do somethin or shut the fuck up.

  ?

  Enough.

  NESS

  It ain’t even me, man.

  BEASTBOY

  Raven, I'm telling you don't trust him.

  As they stand toe to toe, Robin joins in...

  NESS

  Raven can make her own choices, without trying to-

  ROBIN

  (Serious)

  Ness.

  Ness walks away...

  BEASTBOY

  Yeah, go cry home to your Momma.

  Ness stops...

  NESS

  (Walks away)

  You're not worth it. Raven, meet me on the roof.

  Raven then looks at Beastboy...

  RAVEN

  What is you problem? Ness is not a killer anymore. We keep on telling you but you don't listen.

  BEASTBOY

  Because what's stopping him from killing?

  ROBIN

  Enough, Beastboy.

  BEASTBOY

  No I'm done. I won't be on a team with him no more, I quit.

  RAVEN

  Beastboy...

  INT. TITANS TOWER DAY

  FADE IN:

  Now at the roof of Titans Tower, 1 week later...

  NESS

  Looks like your training is going good. You definitely look more confident.

  RAVEN

  (Blushes a little bit)

  Thanks, Ness, but I only learned a few tricks and-

  NESS

  (Smiles)

  Don't underestimate yourself, Robin would have to go all out against you now.

  RAVEN

  (Smiles back)

  Fine, I won't.

  NESS

  (Serious)

  Hey, Raven, I-

  ?

  Sup, Momma?

  RAVEN

  (Looks surprised )

  Beastboy? You're back.

  BEASTBOY

  (Smiles)

  Did my own special training for the week. How about a spar, you two? I mean, Ness is a close range and Raven is a long range.

  NESS

  (Suspicious)

  Hmm, I don't know.

  BEASTBOY

  (Smirks)

  So you're scared that Raven will see you as a bad teacher? Fine-

  NESS

  (Smirks back)

  And how do you think you can win? When I trashed you before?

  BEASTBOY

  Then this should be easy.

  As the 3 of them stand in the training room...

  BEASTBOY

  (Smirks)

  You ready.

  NESS

  (Gets into his fighting stance)

  Been.

  A green smoke fills the room...

  NESS

  (Coughing)

  What the...

  RAVEN

  (Gets down on one knee while coughing)

  Ugh...Beastboy why?

  BEASTBOY

  That poison will kill you in 15 minutes. And the only way to get out of here is for one of us to die.

  NESS

  (Barely standing)

  How....

  BEASTBOY

  I'm not liberty to tell. Now fight Ness.

  RAVEN

  (Falls on the ground and can only watch)

  No.

  NESS

  (Confused)

  Why is Raven so affected by this?

  BEASTBOY

  It effects demons more. I'm immune thanks to the antidote I drank earlier and now you only got 3 minutes.

  As Ness looks at a big monitor with his and Beastboy's heart rates, he then looks at BeastBoy in anger knowing what he has to do...

  NESS

  ......

  RAVEN

  (Trying to crawl over to Ness)

  Ness don't...

  BEASTBOY

  Its too late Raven. I brought out the real Ness.

  RAVEN

  (Slowly on the verge of passing out)

  You're...wrong...

  Electricity appears on Ness's fist...

  RAVEN

  Ness no.

  Ness looks at Raven as the lightning in his hands stop...But is quickly forced to block a guerrilla Beastboy's barrage of punches...

  BEASTBOY

  (Sends Ness to the wall with a punch)

  Come on thats all you got?

  RAVEN

  BEASTBOY...please stop.

  Turns and picks up Raven...

  BEASTBOY

  (Smirks as he gets ready to punch)

  Fine your next.

  With quick burst speed, Ness gives Beastboy an impactful punch to the chest by his heart causing an electrical explosion...

  BEASTBOY

  (Heart stops)

  Aaaaaaaaah!

  Ness hears the door open and quickly takes everyone out into the training room lobby where Ness proceeds to restart Beastboy's heart...

  RAVEN

  (Slowly feeling strength coming back)

  Ness...why?

  NESS

  (Look at her as she sits up)

  He's alive. I started his heart back up.

  RAVEN

  (Looking down depressed)

  But he's our teammate....

  NESS

  (Feeling bad)

  I'm sorry. But he's a criminal now and I wasn't going to make the same mistake.

  BEASTBOY

  (Smirks)

  But you did...see Raven all he knows is killing. What if I was shock proof.

  NESS

  (Shocked as anger slowly sets in)

  So that was you game...and I fell for it.

  But before Beastboy can gloat more...

  RAVEN

  (Anger builds as she clenches his fist)

  Stop. You're not a monster. He is...

  BEASTBOY

  Raven...

  RAVEN

  (Tear drops from her face in anger)

  Beastboy, why did you do this?

  BEASTBOY

  (Serious)

  Because I love you Raven.

  RAVEN

  (Shocked)

  What?

  BEASTBOY

  I had the antidote for you-

  NESS

  (Grabs and lifts him by the neck)

  You gotta be fucking kidding me.

  RAVEN

  (Grabbing on Ness's arm)

  Ness no.

  NESS

  (Pissed)

  Nigga, you did all this...for love?!

  BEASTBOY

  (Smirking)

  Something you don't understand, because you're just a murderer.

  NESS

  At least I give a fuck about the people I love. You think Raven's gonna love you after this?

  BEASTBOY

  Do you think Raven's gonna love You after this?

  NESS

  (Getting ready to punch with his free arm)

  I'm done.

  Raven turns Ness's head towards her...

  RAVEN

  (Pleadingly)

  Stop.

  Try as he might, a look into Raven's eyes calms Ness enough to think rationally...

  NESS

  Are you serious? What if he tries this again?

  RAVEN

  Please, Ness.

  Ness drops Beastboy to the ground...

  BEASTBOY

  (Annoyed)

  Just wait-

  NESS

  (Serious)

  Till what? I beat you already. And I'll do it again right now. I'm not about to let you sneak me.

  Raven stands between the two...

  RAVEN

  (Annoyed as tears continue to fall)

  Enough you two?

  BEASTBOY

  (Shocked as he puts a hand on her shoulder)

  Raven...

  RAVEN

  (Slaps Beastboy's hand away)

  Don't touch me!

  Soon the others can be heard running into the room...

  Later as the story is told and showed on the livingroom monitor, the team (excluding Cyber Rider) is seen digesting the information that two of their friends almost killed each other...

  ROBIN

  (Looking at Ness depressed)

  You're suspended.

  Everyone is shocked at this turn of events excluding Raven, Ness, Beastboy and Robin...

  ZARA

  (Shocked)

  What?! But -

  BEASTBOY

  (Smirks)

  But what? I proved that Ness will still kill if he's pushed. I was right.

  RED FIEND

  Robin, don't you think this is unfair to Ness, he had to choose between Raven or Beas-

  ROBIN

  Beastboy was a civilian. As heroes we have to lay our lives on the line for civilians not attempt to kill them.

  StarFire gives Robin a hard shoulder bump(shoulder check)...as she walks away from him...

  ROBIN

  Starfire...

  STARFIRE

  (Looks back at Robin appallingly)

  Our friends lives matter too, and friend Ness revived Beastboy.

  BEASTBOY

  Doesn't matter he still killed me.

  Starfire walks at Beastboy, eyes lit up green and fists covered by her green star bolts.

  STARFIRE

  (Tear drops from her face in anger)

  Why did you do this?

  Instead of feeling bad for his actions, Beastboy responds with a smirk...

  BEASTBOY

  Come on do it.

  Red Fiend walks between them and stares down at Beastboy...

  STARFIRE

  Red Fiend.

  RED FIEND

  (Serious expression)

  The Princess wont hurt you but I can and will-

  NESS

  Stand down bro

  TOJI

  But-

  RED FIEND

  Or else I'll get suspended too huh? So-

  NESS

  So nothing Robin is the leader. Respect his decision.

  Zara looks at Raven...

  ZARA

  Raven say something.

  RAVEN

  (Calm yet fists are clenched)

  There's nothing to say, Robin is leader.

  ZARA

  Beastboy is wrong and you know it, Robin. I get it, you known him longer but this is just not right. Ness couldn't-

  ROBIN

  This conversation is over....hey...where are you going?

  Robin looks at Ness as he walks away…

  NESS

  Wherever I want.

  INT. JUMP CITY DAY

  FADE IN:

  NESS

  (Walking in an alleyway)

  Guess maybe this wasn't a fit.

  ?

  You could join us.

  NESS

  And who would ya'll be, Beautiful.

  ?

  The Hive.

  Yeah, its Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth (from the Teen Titans cartoon)...

  ?

  (Smirks)

  I'm Jinx.

  Jinx begins to circle around Ness....

  NESS

  I heard of y'all.

  JINX

  Glad our reputation precedes us.

  NESS

  (Serious)

  What actually do y'all want?

  JINX

  (Gives a predator-like smile)

  I want you, Ness. A Street elemental swordsman thats so...edgey.

  NESS

  I see, but unfortunately I'm on a team.

  JINX

  Yet you're by yourself, its pretty dangerous around here.

  Ness's instincts are moving erratically as now he is watching Jinx...

  NESS

  (Thinking to himself)

  My senses are being glitched? But how-

  JINX

  You feel it don't you. Im spoiled so I get what I want, Ness, and it would be a bad day if you cross me.

  Ness pretty much can only see and sense Jinx...

  GIZMO

  (A rocket launcher forms from his backpack)

  Prepare to die, Bitch.

  Ness is easily hit by the rocket...and is now lying on the ground...

  GIZMO

  Got him.

  NESS

  (Appearing behind Gizmo)

  Scapegoat.

  Ness proceeds to spin kick Gizmo so hard with an electrical kick that...

  GIZMO

  (Kick sends him flying away)

  Wooooooo

  NESS

  (Smirks)

  Neeext.

  Ness then turns back to Jinx...

  NESS

  Come on, Beautiful, you gotta admit that was nice.

  JINX

  (Still blocking Ness's senses)

  It was, but can you beat him.

  Ness is confused as Mammoth who is now in the air, tries to stomp on Ness...

  NESS

  (Sees him just in time)

  Shit.

  Ness forms earth around his fist and uses Mammoth's momentum to send a KO uppercut to him...then as Mammoth hits the ground, Ness lands right after...

  NESS

  Not to-aaaahhhhhh

  JINX

  (Holds her glowing hand on Ness's head)

  I learned even how to give your body bad luck by disrupting your powers.

  Jinx power intensifies as Ness barely gets away...

  NESS

  (Barely standing)

  Ugh fuck.

  JINX

  (Walking closer)

  Come here, Ness.

  Ness tries to use electricity but fails to generate any...

  NESS

  (Shocked)

  What's happening?

  JINX

  (Walking closer)

  My power is inside you, Ness, still disrupting your powers.

  Ness can now see he is surrounded by all the H.I.V.E...

  JINX

  (Eyes glowing purple)

  Join us or die.

  Just then...a black blasts separates Ness from the H.I.V.E....

  JINX

  It's Raven. HIVE, retreat before their backup gets here.

  They run while Raven appears next to Ness...

  NESS

  Thanks.

  Raven says nothing starts to follow where the H.I.V.E went...

  NESS

  (Shocked as he feels killing intent)

  Raven?

  As it intensifies, Ness grabs Raven's cloaked covered arm...

  NESS

  (A black glowing demonclaw cuts his arm)

  Raven!

  RAVEN

  (Looks at Ness with two sets of red eyes)

  Don't stop me. They'll pay.

  Ness let's out a chuckle as he holds on to Raven.

  NESS

  (Smirks)

  Damn and they say I'm a killer huh?

  RAVEN

  (Looks at Ness and anger)

  You think this is funny?!

  NESS

  (Serious)

  The Raven I know ain't no killer. So yeah, I find this funny.

  RAVEN

  (Anger intensifies)

  They killed Cyborg and tried to kill you...and I won't let them. I'll ki-

  NESS

  (Smiles)

  Never pegged you as the over protective type. Seriously relax, you know this isn't you.

  RAVEN

  It is, I'm a demon, a monster-

  Ness hugs her...

  RAVEN

  (Anger begins to lessen)

  Noooo.

  NESS

  Its ok, I got you.

  Raven calms down as her eyes turns normal. She then see blood that's not her own only to see...

  RAVEN

  (Tears form in her eyes as she realizes )

  You arm...did I?

  NESS

  (Smiles)

  Calm down, you acting like you cut my head off, lets go home.

  With that they walk home...

  INT. TITANS TOWER DAY

  FADE IN:

  Outside of Raven's room...

  NESS

  (Curious)

  So, The Beehive 5, huh?

  ROBIN

  (Depressingly sighs)

  Seeing as you came back with Raven, you probably figured everything out.

  NESS

  (Nods while keeping a calm demeanor)

  Yeah, they offered me employment. Probably to fill the minority quarter.

  ROBIN

  (Curious)

  You're not worried about them?

  NESS

  Robin the only thing I fear is a God above even me. People been trying to kill me since I was born.

  ROBIN

  Glad you're not scared, we'll need you after your suspension.

  NESS

  Hmmmm.

  ROBIN

  What is it?

  NESS

  I think I should end them myself.

  ROBIN

  (Serious)

  No you won't.

  NESS

  I know.

  ROBIN

  Then why even say it.

  NESS

  Simple, I want the option on the table...but even if I was to take them out, it would cause more harm than good considering I got no real problems with them.

  ROBIN

  I appreciate you looking out for us...but why do you care so much?

  NESS

  Their actions are still affecting Raven.

  ROBIN

  And thats why you want to take them out.

  NESS

  Exactly, Raven doesn't deserve to feel like she's to blame for Cyborg's death. It could of happened to anyone.

  ROBIN

  (Depressingly sighs)

  You can't help her, Ness. Raven carries too much pain with her. At one point we linked mentally, and I thought we was healing her but it was for nothing. When Cyborg died, she died too, she wont even hang with Starfire like they used to and soon it will be the same again.

  NESS

  (Shocked as anger slowly sets in)

  So, you're just gonna use her, till she can't fight no more?

  ROBIN

  Raven is my friend too, Ness, and I want what’s best for her too. But she made a commitment as a heroine to protect. Not to break when a comrade dies.

  Looks at Robin calmly yet anger can be felt...

  NESS

  Who fault you think that is, leader?

  ROBIN

  (Shocked)

  Are you saying-

  NESS

  Its your job to prepare them for this. You think, Toji, Rojo and me thought we still be alive together like this? Heroes die every day, Robin, cry on your off time not when you're on shift.

  ROBIN

  (Angry)

  You got no right-

  NESS

  To what say the truth. My views may be fucked up, Robin, but they're true. I may want revenge on my pops but I'm not letting my anger blind me enough to ever let it risk you guys' lives.

  ROBIN

  (Using a mocking tone)

  And what happens when you get to fight him? You're gonna kill him right, like he let those thugs do to your mom? I don’t know what Batman sees in you.

  NESS

  At least I can accept myself for what I done in the past. I took lives but I spared lives too! And unlike your parents, my Mom's rapists aren't breathing. Just the nigga that let her get killed is left. And I know nothing will bring her back even if I do get payback.

  Starts to walk away but Robin turns him around by his shoulders...

  ROBIN

  I'm not done talking to you.

  NESS

  Bet, whats good then?

  ?

  Stop it!

  StarFire and Raven quickly get between the two...

  STARFIRE

  (Sad)

  Friends should not fight.

  RAVEN

  (Serious)

  What happen?

  NESS

  Nothing Rav-Owww

  Raven hits Ness on the shoulder...

  RAVEN

  What did I tell you about lying?

  NESS

  (Looks away ashamed)

  Sorry.

  Ness and Robin look at each other...

  ROBIN

  (Serious)

  We'll talk later, Ness.

  NESS

  (Serious)

  Ain't no need, leader, I know my position.

  But before more arguing can start, Ness hears his phone ring...

  NESS

  (Talking on the phone)

  Cyber whats up? Why me? Cyber...Yo what happened you broke up for a sec, you was saying? Ight, I'll be there. Hmmm?

  ROBIN

  (Curious)

  Ness-

  NESS

  (Serious but nervous)

  Solo Work.

  RAVEN

  (Worried)

  Ness, please bring me with you, something seems up here.

  NESS

  No. I need you here. Don’t worry.

  RAVEN

  I would of if you sounded more like you. You have a bad feeling just like me, don't you?

  NESS

  (Realizing something)

  I don't know, Maybe..,but it doesn't matter. Cyber wants me to go alone for some reason, which means this is at least serious.

  RAVEN

  Ok, but be careful.

  NESS

  (Smirks)

  I got you. I'm sure everything will be fine.

  INT. WAREHOUSE NIGHT

  FADE IN:

  Ness arrives in a warehouse...

  NESS

  (Looking around)

  Cyber?

  As the lights mysteriously turn on, he sees three people laying in a pool of blood...

  NESS

  (Shocked)

  Sis, Carmen...Mari?!

  MARI

  (Ness runs to her)

  I'm sorry…I couldn't save them...

  NESS

  (Picking Mari up bridal style)

  Don't talk, save your strength-

  ?

  Hahaha look at your face.

  A hologram of 4 cloaked figures appear in front of him...

  NESS

  (Angry)

  You bastards, are you the ones that did this to them?!

  ?

  Nope, that would be me. Unfortunately, that cybernetic human escaped my grasp.

  A taller bald headed African American appears before our hero...His outfit similar to the green and black colors of the lantern Corp ring bearers but instead is a white and black color scheme. A white cape flaps behind him as he is all too familiar with our hero...

  NESS

  (Looks at him and pure anger)

  Elementalist.

  ELEMENTALIST

  (Smirks)

  Glad to see you alive, Jaison. I heard the rumors and your teacher always seemed suspicious of me. But my new friends confirmed it. So now I'm here killing your loved ones. I thought I'd get the whole team but Cyber Rider was smart enough not to bring the whole team into the mix.

  NESS

  (Thinking to himself)

  Fuck my anger, right now I gotta get Mari out of here.

  ELEMENTALIST

  Oh you think you're going to save her. See her blood I temporarily disabled her power.

  MARI

  (Slowly her light brown skin turns pale)

  Ness...don't worry about me-

  NESS

  (Keeping his eyes on Elementalist)

  Save your strength, Mari.

  Ness seeing the situation before him, knows what he needs to do...

  NESS

  (Getting ready to leave)

  As much as I'd like to kill you, I gotta da-

  CYBER RIDER

  (Draws Ness attention)

  Ness! NESSSSS?!

  Ness can see that Cyber Rider is now a running bomb as he runs at Ness...

  ELEMENTALIST

  Good bye, trash.

  A huge explosion destroys the warehouse...

  NESS

  (Lifting up the debris)

  Ugh! Damn it Cyber for someone to hack you...Mari we got-

  .........

  ........

  ........

  NESS

  (Looking at Mari's corpse)

  Mari...Mari!?

  Ness can only stare at her....He Failed Them....

  END
