An explosion occured downtown, sending black smoke into the air. Claire was already downtown, just taking a walk. The smoke went down her mouth and into her lungs, making her cough. She couldn't breath right. The smoke made it hard to see, so she could only see shadows. A large hand was placed on her shoulder and she was pulled back with force. She could only see the shadow of what seemed to be a large figure, dragging her.
"AAH! LET GO!"
Claire lets out a high pitched scream and a hand is placed over her mouth.
Figure: "Now now...we don't want any trouble....do we.....Claire?"
The voice sounded familiar. Too familiar. Claire knows who it is and she struggles against the figure more. She is yanked back and let go of. She slams into the ground just as the figure's shadow appears over her. The shadow of a knife in the figure's hand seems to appear. The figure was going to kill her. The smoke clears around them, revealing a man in a kind of cross-species suit. Half Spider/Half Human. He plunged the knife down toward her thigh. It stabbed her, crimson blood rolling on the ground. Claire was helpless unless someone saved her. The man takes the knife out and raises it up, a few feet above her face.
Man: "See you in hell."
"HELP!"
Claire holds her thigh and is crying streams of tears. Helpless, only someone can save her. She takes out her communicator, just as the man plunges the knife down. She rolls out of the way but a striking pain occurs in her. It was her thigh. She speaks into the communicator. Between sobs and speech.
"G-GUYS...P-PLEASE.....HELP! ANY T-TITANS!"
