A Clash (open)

[Dick Grayson]

Nightwing had just come from the Watchtower after attempting to deal with the kidnapping of Pepper and Iron Man. He had some allies with him, more than ready to seek justice for all those that had been hurt and frightened. The country wasn't in the greatest condition, and at the present time the villains and rogues weren't making anything easier. Dick Grayson wanted these people put away in a superhuman max security prison.

He was ready to seek a bit of revenge as well, on his former friend Trenton. She had slid the knife into his back with a stunning amount of callousness. He had been hurt, and he wanted retribution for that. He was a fool to have trusted her, but he was here to make things right.

He went from place to place, searching for the enemies, all the while prepared to fight, with his Titans and other allies in tow.

[The Creeper]

"Oh Well well well, looky here." Creeper's cold voice sneered as he witnessed Nightwing and a few other costumes buddies jumping around in keystone city.
He figured, with his boring night and all, he could hop bye and say hello. Maybe even join him in his little "mission" Whatever it is.


He took a leap from the building he perched on before and made his way to talking distance of said Nightwing. Both taking their turns of leaping over random items and drifts.

"Hello Nightwing, boy. Where you running to?" Creeper asked with a sly tone. Curiosity being the reason behind his question.

[Starfire]

Kory had followed Dick down from the current safehaven for supers in order to help with the capture of the people who had kidnapped Pepper and Iron Man. As she saw the city, she decided that this city wasn't in the best condition. However, Kory turned her eyes away from the not well kept streets and on their current mission.

She noticed how Dick seemed to be seething over something and how he wanted something like revenge for the kidnapping. Kory would have to speak to him sometime soon, she decided. She was thrust out of her thoughts by a cold voice, a creepy voice. Kory was careful not to give out a yelp of suprise, but suprise was fully in her eyes as she looked at the figure who had addressed Dick.

He seemed very strange to the Tamaranean, especially because of his voice and his general appearance. Kory looked over at Dick, wondering what he was going to respond with.

[Black Canary]

Sophia watched from a distance as Nightwing entered the city. She had been expecting him to come, though she was surprised at how quickly he had done so. Stay and fight, that was what she had decided to do. To let everyone know once and for all what side she was on. She would hurt Dick Grayson. Badly.

She flew overhead as Nightwing and his group leaped from rooftop to rooftop. A redhead in purple seemed to follow especially closely and Trenton felt a quick pang of envy before pushing it to the back of her mind. This was no time to get soft.

She finally decided to make her move, and zipped in rather quickly, landing right in front of Nightwing.
"You just couldn't stay away...could you?", she questioned him as she raised a powerful fist and landed a quick as lightening punch.

"I'll take you all on...", she said as she peered back at the group.

[Spiderman]

Peter was swinging behind the others, he was somewhat less interested in this mission. Ok he was here, but he felt a little awkward, it was almost he was in a totally different world of heroes.

And he was so totally out of place. But swinging behind them he noticed as another random hero jumped onto the scene he was like a bad picture of the green goblin Spiderman landed cat footed near the two. "Say big green and wierd, don't happen to know a norman osborne do you? looks like you two would be stunt double for eachother or something" Landing he folded his arms and looked around when suddenly his Spider-Sense flared.

He barely had time to even react it was so fast
"Ile take you all on" the girl threatened Pete smiled a bit his arms still folded "Hey if she means what i think she means, im taken lady, but im flattered really"

[Dick Grayson]

Nightwing was quickly bounding from rooftop to rooftop, his retractable swinglines in full affect. He knew how the criminal mind operated. He knew she would be close by. As Dick made one tremendous leap and skidded to a landing on the pebble capped roof, a strange voice greeted him. He peered to the side to see the Creeper pouncing close by him.

"On a hunt..", he answered quickly. He gave a nod to his group to inform them that everything was okay. This man was not an enemy. As he began to return his attention to the gravely rooftop path before him, he felt a sudden painful stinging sensation on the side of his face. He was hurled back a little, a scarlet stream of blood trickling from his now torn cheek.

Dick quickly wiped the blood from his face and threw himself back onto his feet. He clenched his fists a little as his eyes wandered to meet his enemies. He did not wish to mince words at this time, only to attack. He began as quick as he could, and ended his sprint towards the brunette with a violent kick. As he ran, he pulled one of his stun-wingdings out and prepared to hurl it at the woman. It was time for his team mates to attack.

[Black Canary]

Sophia watched, pleased that her punch caused the masked man to bleed. She wished to hurt him quite badly today, and would not give up up until he had had enough. Until she was sure he would never again get in her way or mess with her emotions. She watched as he fell to the ground, and then looked to the man garbed in a black spandex suit with webbing details. He spoke then, and she rolled her eyes.

"Stay out of this, allright Spidey...", she hissed as she looked back at Dick, and then at the others. "This is between Mr. Grayson and I...", she said in an angry tone.

Unfortunately for Trenton, she hadn't been keeping a sharp eye on the handsome young man,and in an instant he was bulleting for her. She was kicked in the stomach with a painful amount of force, and was knocked to the ground. She peered up as she clutched her stomach to see Dick holding a stunner. At once, she kicked his legs out from under him and flew up into the sky. Second later, she came streamign back down, her target set on Nightwing.

[Dick Grayson]

Dick had made his move while Trenton addressed the group of allies that surrounded him. He was fairly confident they would be able to take their target out tonight. His kick had proved effective, and he sent the slender but strong woman crashing to the floor and grabbing her now pained stomach.
He looked back at his group to see if they were on key and on high alert, as they should be. You never know when one of her allies would attack.

He was about to plunge the stunner into her flesh when she revolted. She threw him off of his feet and the stunner went soaring from his hands as he fell back. She was up in the air yet again after she sent him crashing into the pebble strewn rooftop. He shielded his eyes as he stared upwards to see the teal costumed woman coming back down for him.

Dick rolled out of the way very quickly, moments before the angry brunette made impact. He jumped to his feet again and prepared again to attack her, with his incredible fighting skills he had a chance at taking her down himself if he was careful.

[Black Canary]

Just before crashing down onto the rooftop she saw Nightwing roll out of the way. Her velocity at the moment was far too great for her to will herself to stop, and so she cringed as she prepared for a painful impact. She slowed down as much as she could before slamming into the rock and tar rooftop, causing a large thud and a great deal of dust.

She rolled over in agony again as she looked overy through a bleary and bloody vision to see Dick. She was covered in blood, spawning from an injury atop her now very wounded head. Standing would prove a difficult task, and when the expert martial artist attacked her again she was sent right back to the floor in another splash of blood.

Sophia could feel her levels of rage rising quickly as he continued to keep an eye on his team and to attack her. She rose in the air slightly and looked down at him in rage. "I have gone easy on you, Nightwing", she warned before plummeting down on top of him and slamming her fists into his strong chest. Her super speed aided her in delivering an astounding number of punches to the hero. Finally, she gathered all her strength and drew the man into her arms. She soared up into the sky and when she had reached a higher level, she simply let her arms go limp and allowed the man to fall from her arms.

[Dick Grayson]

Dick watched with unfeeling eyes and a stony heart as the woman rose from her collision with bloody wounds. She deserved this injury, and far worse at that. But Dick was not here solely to hurt her, as she did him, he was here to contain the crazed rogue. He was very torn, not exactly sure how he wanted it all to end. In a perfect world she would change her ways and join him again. In a perfect world.

He attacked again, trying his best to keep all emotions detached from this battle, though it stung to see his former friend drenched in blood that dripped from wounds he caused. But that wouldn't last long as Trenton quickly attacked him, sending a painful barrage of punches to his chest. He could hardly breath and his ribs felt like they were about to crack with each pounding from her fist. His chest was about to collapse, and then all of a sudden it stopped. He wrenched his eyes shut in pain as he felt a breezy weightlessness surround him. He could feel two small arms holding him up, shaking as they did so.

Then, a release. Dick felt himself falling through the blue sky. Dropping. Falling. Sailing. His eyes creaked open just in time to see a rooftop pass by him. He tried with all his might to release a rip line, and to grapple into the ledge of a roof. It was useless however, there was simply not enough time. Falling. Dropping. Sailing. Flailing. And then...impact. A sharp one at that, and a cruel sound echoed through the sky as he screamed in a brutal agony. His eyes shot open completely as he looked down to see where he had landed. He was hooked now, having half of his body landing onto a wrought iron fence. His arm, leg and some his chest was nearly impaled on the black metal below. The fallen hero screamed in agony once more as he felt his blood spilling from his body.

[Jubilee]

Jubilee had followed Grayson, wanting to discuss her possibility of joining the Titans. She watched as a very mean woman flew him into the sky and dropped him, she was standing on a rooftop and watched him plummet and heard him scream in pain as he landed on the ground. She looked up with an expression of pure anger and rage. She lifted her hands and sent 3 large pafs in the direction where Nightwing had fallen from, hoping they were powerful enough to reach the woman who had dropped Nightwing. All three exploded at different levels each with enough destructive power to level a city block. "So, a super powered witch decides to attack a man with no powers or abilities, other than those he trained and learned on his own. If you want a fight, I will be more than happy to wipe the floor with you."

[Spiderman]

Pete watched in awe as it was over in a couple of seconds. It had all happened so fast. Isn't a strange matter, that things that are also the gravest moments in life seem to go the fastest.

Gwens final moments flashed quickly in his mind. That indeed seemed to go by in mere seconds. Pete yelled out at the woman, haven't people seen enough blood, enough destruction, wasn't the war enough!

"WHY!" Pete yelled out as he jumped near the fence And slowly pulled the man off the fence. He wrapped some web around his torso and the wound. Somewhat like a bandage. He rested the man on his knee as he looked as the other woman was starting to fight. "You gonna be ok dick?" Asked Pete

[Shockwave]

Gwen Stratford had been following a bit farther away than Jubilee, Starfire, and Nightwing. Lost within her own mind, Gwen prepared herself for what she may need to do. Shockwave should be angry-- furious at this woman they planned on meeting. She took Virginia for whatever reason, and it was extremely fortunate that Pepper was brought back without too many cuts and bruises. But why wasn't she angry? Was it because Gwen couldn't get over the fact that when she felt she had nowhere to go, Trenton was there to lift her up and push her towards her current mentor? To be frank, Gwen couldn't care less about Dick. She was already suspicious of him since the kidnapping, and he still hasn't attempted to give out any more information. She roughly rubbed her hands together down by her hips, where her gaze stayed as well. Maybe the scarlet-haired woman wasn't ready for this.

Her attention snapped back to the task at hand when Trenton and Nightwing began to battle. She told Gwen and the others that came to leave the fight between Nightwing and her; however, Gwen's brow narrowed in a fuming anger. Taking a step in front of Jubilee, smiling inwardly at her threat, Gwen straightened her once nervous frame. The masked man fell to the ground, sputtering deep crimson as Sophia had as well. From looking to Dick and then back to the petite, yet strong woman, Gwen yelled, "This isn't between just you and him!" Her words were unusually sharp as her arm thrust forward, pointing at Nightwing angrily. She took in a deep breath and remembered what she'd need to do. Raven had explained to her about fighting.

Whether Gwen knew how to or not, now was the time to attack. Her mind became masked-- a large, desolate island formed-- Gwen seemed to focus in only on the woman before her. Trenton. Everything surrounding blurred out. Suddenly, her vision twisted and turned horrendously once the static was called upon by her palms and her eyes. The electricity grew, and Gwen felt a small wind pick up, leaving her scarlet locks weightless. Gwen's ashen eyes only saw the bloody, beaten figure of the woman who had spoke to her, defended her, believed in her-- but it was to late. Dull, grey eyes glazed over into a sheen of gold, and the static was released. They escaped in the shape of large spears heading towards the small frame.

Within her mind, the island became dark, and rain began to fall. Shockwave knew she was having second thoughts of the attack. Please don't see me. She cried from within as she felt her energy leave her body. Don't let her see the hesitation. There was no way that Shockwave would admit she could be fighting for the wrong side.

[Black Canary]

Trenton watched in a slight state of horror as Dicks body met with the sharp spikes of a fence and he was impaled. Not so much horror at the scene of the mans body being caught up on the metal, and writhing in pain, but at the monster she had become. She has hurled her only friend onto a fence, and now watched as the blood flooded around where he stay hooked.

"Oh, Dick...", she said shaking her head a little, ignoring the others as she watched his mouth gasping in sheer agony.

Her attention quickly snapped back to a small young woman with short black hair who screamed at her and hurled some kind of explosive kinetic sparks at her. Trenton was hurled through the air at a massive force and speed and crashed into a stone wall, her back nearly breaking upon the impact.

She coughed and groaned as she lifted herself back up quickly, rocketing through the rubble and debris. She glared down at the asian woman and hurled herself down in front of her. She slammed her speedy fists into the girl and then somersalted back into the air.

It was then that she noticed the bolts being sent towards her. She felt the full impact as they slammed into her small frame, and she fell from the sky quickly. Her body ebbed in pain and she was shocked and stunned into inactivity. She regained her composure seconds before slamming into the ground and instantly began flying in large circled at a great speed, causing a huge whirlwhind in which she trapped her enemies. She let them fly out suddenly as she jerked to a stop.

"He's already dead", she said in a cold voice as she looked over to the injured Nightwing.

[Dick Grayson]

Dick tried to free himself of the metal spikes that ripped through his flesh and muscle, but only ended up causing further damage to himself. He could feel the tissues ripping and slicing as he struggled to move. He could hear screaming around him, from horrified citizens and his angered team mates.

It felt like an eternity until Dick was carefully removed from the blood drenched poles. The wounds gushed with the scarlet liquid and Dicks head fell to the side as he watched it pool around him. He could hear Spider-Mans voice, but couldn't make out much other than his blood.

"I..", he began as he attempted to answer the question. Instead of words however, a gurgling noise resonated from his mouth, followed by a river of blood. He coughed a bit, and lay there for some minutes as his wounds were bandaged.

"I...okay..."
