CHAPTER ONE

-(Of Crows)-

The last thing they needed was a new super villain. So far this week they had been graced with attacks from Mumbo, Control Freak and Mad Mod, stopped four attempted robberies by the H.I.V.E and decommissioned another painful performance by Punk Rocket. It had been a long week. So the report that there was a new 'bad guy' in town that was busily spreading his terror over in the city's west half was none too welcome by the crime fighting teens.

And to think there was once a time when I actually wished for something to happen, Raven thought to herself as the T-car raced speedily down the highway.

It wasn't long before they pulled in at the scene of his supposed strike and were shocked to find just how serious it had been. The remains of a wide, one-story building was in front of them, scorched dark as night against the bright blue day.

"Dude, where are we?" Beast Boy breathed.

It was Cyborg who replied calmly, "'Little Rainbow' Kindergarten. Corner of Reightman and Westcastle Lane." They began to move closer.

"Where's the Principal?" Robin asked them, "The teachers? The kids?" but as soon as he spoke they noticed the form of a rather squat woman hurrying over towards them, waving. "Well, that answers that" he concluded.

"At least they are safe," Starfire agreed as the woman finally caught up with them.

"I'm so glad you're here," she puffed, not bothering with a greeting or introduction. Raven already liked her. "We managed to evacuate before he came, but we weren't that far away when the explosion went off and I've been searching the meeting area but we're still short one group of children."

She looked pleadingly at the Titans. Robin nodded to her.

"Don't worry, we'll find them ma'am." She thanked him profusely and toddled back to wherever it was that the rest of the school was hiding. Robin turned to them all.

"An explosion…" he mused. Before he could get any further Raven interrupted.

"I can sense traces of magic on the building. I don't think the explosion was caused by a bomb."

"Ok. We'll have to go about this systematically then. I'll be checking inside the building for clues and any hidden weapons. Cy and BB, you'll need to talk to the staff and try to find out more about the mysterious destroyer. Raven you can scan the outside of the grounds for any traps or any magical residue, and Star I need you to search the surrounding area for any sign of the missing children." He finished.

"Ready?"

They all nodded grimly.

"Titans Go!"
