Chapter 4

"Glory Girl! Are you ok?"

Vista used her powers to distort the space of the ground between them to instantly transport the rest of the Wards in front of the downed Glory Girl. Gallant, a teen in expensive silver armor rushed to aid the dazed Glory Girl back on her feet, inspecting his girlfriend over for injuries and sighing in relief when he found none.

"…I'm good, that bitch just caught me off guard." Glory Girl growled out, crushing a rock in her palm while glaring daggers at Raven.

"This villain can transform into a bird and fly, that's how she got up there to you."

Kid Win said looking down at the crater.

"And with how hard she threw you add superstrength to the list."

"Her name is Shinobu" Browbeat informed the group. "She is a member of the Undersiders, a group of small-time thieves…. not much information on Shinobu specifically however it's her teammate Hellhound who worries me, a documented killer with mental health issues is around hostages…."

Glory Girl panicked at this.

"Think one of you guys can handle this loser from here" Glory Girl said impatiently getting ready to charge into the bank, "I have to go make sure my sister's alrigh-." Before she could finish the bank doors flew wide open, all the hostages came rushing out. Vista used her powers to help transport them to safety faster while the other Wards kept a close eye on Shinobu in case she tried something.

"Vicky!"

Hearing her sister's voice Glory Girl perked up, spotting her behind the police barrier.

"I'm fine! Hurry and catch those villains! They escaped through the back!"

Glory Girl smirked and turned her attention to Raven

"Hear that bitch! Those cowards abandoned you without a second thought. How about you surrender now, and I won't have to hurt you…. Or don't." She stated cracking her knuckles, projecting aura in an intimidating manner.

"….No."

Raven's eyes glowed for a brief second before dimming.

'No, I won't use that… I want to enjoy this fight!' Raven grinned maliciously

Gallant sensing her excitement was put on edge.

"Guys sh-"

'Shave'

Disappearing in a burst of speed Raven nailed Vista lightly in the stomach, knocking the air out of her. "Sorry, can't have you going after my team." Raven stated in an unapologetic tone, letting Vista's unconscious body crumple the floor, sidestepping to avoid an energy blast from Gallant and kicking him hard in the chest, breaking his armor and making him fall flat on his back, groaning in pain.

"How dare you!" Glory Girl punched at Raven, who jumped back to gain some distance. "Kid Win take Vista and Gallant to my sister…. I've got a score to settle with this bitch." Kid Win nodded, putting Vista and Gallant on his hoverboard and flew them over to Amy for treatment.

Glory Girl charged at Shinobu along with Browbeat, Aegis and Clockblocker in tow.

'Let's see how much I improved.'

Crossing her arms, Raven effortlessly weaved and bobbed around their attacks, using Observation Haki to predict their movements.

"How dare you hurt Vista!" "Stop moving bitch!"

Raven tilted her head allowing an arrow to harmlessly pass by and speed towards Shadow Stalker who was currently in her breaker state.

'let's see if this works' Raven wondered curiously, coating a fist in Armament Haki punching the barely visible Shadow Stalker straight in the gut, making her drop to the ground like a sack of potatoes and curl up in pain.

'Apparently it does…. good to know.'

"H-How!" Shadow Stalker wheezed out painfully, back in her human state.

"Who knows?" Raven taunted, kicking the girl in the face knocking her lights out. "Oh, and that was for Grue, bitch."

"Shadow Stalker!" "She must have Trump powers!"

'My team should have covered a good amount of distance by now and these children haven't made any attempts to chase after them …. I should probably wrap this up and leave before the real threats arrive….'

Raven mentally reasoned to herself.

"This is boring…." Raven spoke, stopping in place to block both Glory Girls' and Browbeats' punches, her arms noticeably colored black in Armament Haki, kicking backwards to hit Clockerblocker in the stomach.… however unfortunately for Raven this person wasn't the real Clockblocker, but Aegis disguised as him.

Aegis withstanding the brunt of the kick caught Raven's leg, throwing her off balance.

'Fuck!' Raven cursed mentally, Glory girl and Browbeat wasted no time in grabbing an arm each and holding her in place with bone crushing grips, Raven's Aura flaring up to prevent her bones from snapping…. but it did next to nothing to stop the agonizing pain she felt.

"..." Raven grit her teeth, not wanting to give them the satisfaction of knowing it hurt like hell.

"Now Clockblocker!" Aegis called out.

'Shit…. they must have switched costumes' Raven panicked in realization, sensing the real Clockblocker coming up from behind ready to freeze her.

'No! I won't lose to those weaklings!'

Raven's eye's glowed red with rage, unleashing a weak wave of Conquers Haki.

Clockblocker instantly tripped and faceplanted on the ground…. the heroes who were holding her slackened their grip in their shock, which allowed Raven the opportunity to break out and send Aegis flying with a much more powerful kick then before, his body colliding with Kid Win's hoverboard damaging it and making him fall off.

Aegis acting fast used his body to cushion Kid Win's fall.

Raven then clasping both Browbeat and Glory Girl by the face and smashed them harshly into the ground.

Getting up Raven dusted herself off.

"I was careless and almost got caught for my hubris…. next time I won't play around." Raven said not just to herself, but also to serve as a warning to the downed heroes. Making a swiping motion in the air a red portal appeared.

"….." Without a second glance Raven walked through the portal.

"Damn you!" Glory Girl pounced at her only for the portal to close and ended up smashing into a tree, toppling it.
