Vayl lounged back on the sofa, he threw his legs up and turned his head so he could see the screen taking up the far wall.

"i believe it is time i introduced myself to this city." he mused, his mouth curving up into a predatory smile.

"computer, which bank in the city has the most money at the moment?" he purred.

the monitor on the wall flicked to a screen showing a live picture of a big sandstone building with lots of people going in and out. Vayl's eyebrows lowered as he saw the sum of money present in the vault. $60 million. an excellent first haul.

Vayl stood up and shrugged on his leather jacket. he turned and stalked out of the room and down the velvet carpeted corridor.

Vayl came out of the main section of his underground mansion, into the car lot. he strode past the Aston martin and Maserati GTS. instead he went for the black Kawasaki ninja motor cycle. he drew his leg over the seat with ease and revved the engine before launching off.... straight towards the solid rock walls!

but Vayl didn't slow down, he didn't have to. the rock wall in front of him shuddered then quickly ground it's way up into the roof of the giant rock cavern. Vayl sped out of the opening and down the small driveway beyond, which was hidden from all who didn't know it was there by a thick and dense layer of canopy from the huge old trees on either side of the road.

Vayl drove back into the car lot and then paced swiftly into the surveillance room.

"computer, reply the robbery. i want to see who those new titans are." Vayl purred, flopping down onto the couch.

the screen on the far wall came alive with several different views of the bank from CCTV cameras.

Vayl looked at the screen as the events of the afternoon replayed themselves. his eyes glinted in interest as he observed the new titans who's powers he had no record of on his databases. the most obvious of these new additions would have to be the girl who claimed to control the shadows. Vayl's lips twitched up. seemed more like it was the shadows in control he thought with a sneer. there was also a robot that looked the exact same as a titan from the former titans east, why he was in jump city Vayl had no idea but he noted it for future reference, along with the presence of the leader of the former east titans wavelength. there was also a girl who appeared part wolf, but she just stayed in the background along with the veteran titans south, Mg and Blademaster.

Vayl waved a hand at the screen and the picture vanished, instead leaving a blank wall.

Vayl lent his head back against the arm rest of the couch and raised the index finger of his left hand in front of his face. when he had fallen to the ground he had sliced it open. Vayl inspected the wound, then, quick as a flash, he flicked his finger to the right over the top of the back of the chair. a blood flew from the wound and formed a blood whip which cracked and sliced threw the very expansive vase mounted next to the wall. Vayl's eyes glittered and he withdrew the blood whip back into his finger.

Vayl smirked and stood. without a word he strutted out of the room. this was going to be fun.
