What is this? Simple those of you reading this! This is my YEAR Anniversary of coming on the site! Now I spent the last few months thinking, "The last month before my anniversary, not only will I post an end to some stories and add onto others, but I need a show stopping, giant story that everyone will keel over from", and this is it. A story of love, action, adventure, and perhaps a few shocking twists. BUT! I will NOT write the story if people don't want me to. My chief desire is to make you all happy, and if this doesn't, so be it. So, review at the end if you want me to continue this.
This is just a monolog, outlining and foreshadowing what it is you'll be reading about if the story continues.
"It was never said in words or writing; but I feel they've always known. Speedy, Ravager; they are powerful, fearless, unshakable even in times that regular humans would be filled with nothing but fear. But, they wouldn't know the feeling. Robin does, he knows the strain we face... he knows as much as we who face it do. The human bounds that rule over their actions -what they can and cannot do- effects them alone, the ones of us that do not hold the nightmares.
"We face it moment after passing moment, the fear of it getting loose. We who hold it more often then not brush it off. 'We have it, it doesn't have us'... but Beast Boy knows different. He has seen -felt- what it is like. Once in his life, not from his own control or desire, a 'Beast' took form from him... I witnessed first hand what it was capable of through my own eyes. For a time, with his willful heart he controlled the 'Beast'... but for even longer, the 'Beast' controlled him.
"Many with gifts like Beast Boy or even Starfire have that feeling looming over them, a feeling not one of them will ever shake off. Loss of control... It isn't fair for me to say those like Speedy among us do not understand what it's like to lose control; Robin himself showed his team and myself that when Slade infected his mind. But they do not understand what it feels like to always totter on the brink of allowing such powers as ours to let loose and bring us new flows of energy. Or knowing that everything around you could be no more if you where to let your mind grow careless for a moment. Even at times, knowing you could end the horrors one person has inflicted, and no doubt will continue to do so if left alone, with but a single flick of your wrist... It's temptation, it's fear, it's rage... It is our burden. And it is our sin.
"Robin understands my burden... he has seen my sin first hand. Knowing that it is pent up inside me, begging for release, I must always carry it like so many other Titans. If they let their powers loose for moments, people may die and cities may crumble... But should I lose my control... people will die and everything will be lost. Because if I allow myself to slip into my true power, I will never come back... it's with pride I continue to fight my sin; and it is with pride I fear to cause harm on this world I call home and those that matter most to me..."
Now, like I said, I WON'T continue this if you all don't want me to. I want this to be my biggest story that will blow all my others out of the water for my year anniversary, but if you all instead want me to just pump out my other stories faster, I'll do that. None the less, if I do this story, the other stories will still get done, just not as fast since I will need to divide the work up. So, REVIEW, Re-view, and do the poll for my other story.
See you all in the big times,
-Overlord and Flinx
