Cold steel binds you to the table. Through the wall, muffled voices of allies drift in, underscored by the rhythmic *beep...beep...* of a monitor. A shadow detaches from the corner. Slade, visible only to you, leans in close, his voice a silky whisper. **Slade:** Relax, you, I promise, you won't feel a thing. He activates a device. The monitor screams a flatline tone. The door bursts open. The Titans rush in, weapons drawn, only to find you thrashing violently against empty air, fighting a ghost only they can see.
