How fitting, Rayella thought bitterly, that he had chosen this section of the city to attack. Did he know, she wondered, what lay beneath the streets here? From his association with Slade it was certianly possible, but even with all he had done she didn't want to beleive he would knowingly endanger theri sister's last resting place like that.
The cavern had been high ceilinged and open until a few hours ago, empty except for Terra's statue, dried flowers left by Holly, and the security system Robin had installed to protect this little sanctuary.

Streams of dirt randomly fell from the ceiling as she made her way through the devastation towards the fallen form of her sister and the plaque resting at her stony base. How long until the street above broke through, she wondered and in answer a rumble suddenly came from above. Taking the warning, Rae snatched up the plaque, took one last look at Terra's frozen face of painful triumph and fled.
