Yeah, I wrote part of this at 2 AM. Sue me. :P
"Hit the deck!"
The 4 teens leap behind a fallen tree as the wall of the factory blew apart to smithereens. Rubble flies all over, but as the dust clears, the group dash into the newly created entrance and head for the nearest flight of stairs.
---------------------
Peering through the leaves of the bush, Richi could see a part of the factory's large amount of security patrolling around the perimeter. Watchtowers with spotlights circled around the darkness surrounding the factory, and the beeps of sentries echoed into the blonde's ears.
"What, is this the national treasury?" muttered Richi to himself. Richi turned to the group's new companion, and sighed. "And take off the disguise, Cain." Cain glanced over at Richi and sighed before pulling out a small phone. Curious, Valeriya risked a peek over Cain's shoulder before a flash of bright light emitted from the screen and blinded her. Scotch hopped down from the tree branch she was scouting from and looked at Cain once more.
He had a completely new appearance, down to the color of his clothes. Cain sported dull blonde-grey hair which curled slightly at the ends. A very light blue collared shirt and black jeans replaced the cloak, and white shoes were on his feet. Mischievous eyes locked onto the devil blonde, but a smirk lay on his face.
"About time, yeesh." Richi muttered, then made to continue scouting the factory. Scotch tapped his shoulder as he turned, and instead he stopped to look at her. "Yeah?"
Scotch looked down at the ground slightly before speaking. "Um.... How do you two know each other?"
Richi and Cain glanced at each other and then sighed. " I guess we can take a break." Richi stated, then sat down on the ground, motioning the others to do the same.
"I haven't been completely honest with my past to you two, or anyone for that matter." he began. "I know Cain because I met him when I had lived Up Above for those ten years. This guy here," Richi said as he gestured to Cain, " was the first friend I ever had before I had run from Heaven."

Scene 2:
"You are a good man." Barbara said once more, firmly.
"Thanks, Babs." Sam said softly, looking into the red-head's blue eyes. Barbara returned the gaze. Sam leaned forward and brushed a strand of hair put of her face. "You are one of the best people I have eve met in my life." Sam said softly. "I'm glad we're friends Barbara."
The red-haired girl smiled and leaned forward, pressing her lips slightly to Sam's. Sam reached one hand into her fiery hair and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss before breaking off and standing up. "We tried this before. It didn't work out."
"Yeah..." Barbara said, looking to the side. "Sorry."
"Me too." Sam said, slipping on his mask and jumping from the window.
Barbara took a deep breath and about a full sixty seconds before returning to her computer.

Revenge started towards the Bat-Wing, but Batman turned and held up a hand.
"Clark, go. I'll be there in a minute." the Dark Knight said. Superman nodded and walked aboard' one hand on Kara's shoulder.
"You can't come." Batman stated plainly.
"Why not?!" Revenge demanded.
"Because you're pushing Clark's temper and Wonder Woman forbade you from ever visiting Themyscira after leading Wondergirl into a trap."
"Clark's temper?" Revenge asked incredulously.
"The girl likes you too much."
"Of course she likes me." Revenge smirked.
"Exactly, and you're having a bad influence on her. Clark wants you to stay here. I personally think she needs someone like you right now, but Clark says no and he is her cousin."
"Alright, I'll stay here with Alfred."
"Don't ask for too many sweets." Batman warned.
"Why would I ever do such a thing?" Revenge asked, mocking shock.
Batman smirked and boarded the Batwing.
"Yo Alfred!" Revenge called. "Cookies!"
