I sat at the foot of the bed, cradling my head with my hands. I heard a creak as my door opened, but I didn't bother to look up.
"Well do everything we can to find her, Speedy." The voice was sympathetic, and recognizable.
"You are the last person I want to talk to." I hissed while my eyes still on the floor.
It was silent for a second, then the door creaked shut.
It had been two days, and Annabel was missing. Everyone in the Titans Tower was searching for her, except me. I couldn't put myself towards it. I sat in my room, thinking about her all day, but I couldn't go and search for her without my emotions getting in the way.
The first day I went looking for her with the team, I almost killed someone to death with my arrows. After that, the team told me to stay home.
But staying here got me thinking about her…and me. I really think I have feelings for her. I care about her so much; it would kill me to see her hurt. And I wanted to tell her all of these things. I mean, when I was around her I was this whole new person, I wasn't rude. I wanted her to like me, so I pretended to be this nice, generous person because I liked her, and wanted her to care about me.
The creaked open again, I looked up this time, and saw Beast Boy standing in the door way, "We were going to grab some pizza, care to join?" his tone wasn't as cheery as usual, he used a soft tone. Everyone here treated me like I was dying...except Raven, who didn't even speak to me at all.
Annabel and Raven got alone the best. They both needed to control their emotions, so they meditated together a lot. Annabel listened to Raven's poetry. They even laughed sometimes. It was a rare occasion, I didn't even see much on Annabel.
Beast Boy stepped in, "Speedy," he sat next to me on the bed, interrupting my thoughts, "I know what it's like, losing someone you care about. But Annabel is still out there, she is strong. She will survive, and we will find her."
"I know she's strong. But yet she can crumble so easily. Someone could easily toy with her emotions then she could be dead." I move my fingers around, swirling them circularly.
"Then we won't have to worry about her moving." The stern voice of Raven came from the doorway. "Everyone is about to leave for Pizza." The monotone voice was so typical.
Beast Boy nodded, "So are you going to come?"
I shrug, "Pizza could kill."
+++Annabel+++
A few days went by, I was still stuck here. I roamed around in the large room. It was so boring, "How can you live here?" my voice was sour as I asked.
"I don't live here long." I looked at his face. It was still the same as that day at the convention. Why did he think he was better than everyone else?
"You know, if I'm going to be here. I think I should know your name." I try to smile a bit, but it comes out fake.
"Dissonance." He says, "You are more talkative than usual." He smirks slyly at me, "I liked it better when you were out." He walks to me, grabbing me, I soon felt exhausted. I walked away, lying on the ground, falling asleep.
"You know, these days are going by faster than I thought." I opened my eyes to his sly tone.
I sat up, "Why are you even doing this?" I question him. It was time to get serious.
"For money, and with money comes power, and with power, I can get what I want." If his tone was a face, it would be grinning from ear to ear.
I roll my eyes, "Why are there people like you on this planet?" I sigh angrily, "I hate people like you, and they disgust me. You can't just believe you are better than the rest of us."
"But I can." He smiles, "There are always going to be people like me, they are what keeps this planet going. Not pointless whiney, weak brats like you."
I stand, "I am not a brat, and most certainly not pointless." A scowl for onto my face.
"If you aren't pointless, then why hasn't anyone come for you? I mean, you little boyfriend was fake around you in the first place. So if someone was pretending around you, that means you have aren't pointless." He nods his head sarcastically.
"Speedy would never pretend." I hiss.
The corners of his lips curl up, "Oh, really? Come look for yourself." He walks me over to a monitor screen, and sits me down in a chair in front of it.
He taps a few keys on his key board and a video starts. I see speedy, talking with people, but he was being more sarcastic, and a bit ruder. Speedy was always so nice and caring around me.
The video ended, "Don't believe me yet? Well here is another one." A video starts, and Speedy was talking to a guy in blue, with long, black hair. They were arguing. This wasn't the Speedy I knew.
"So he was acting different around me." I whisper to myself.
"Yes, he pretended all along, he is a faker." I could hear the smile on his face.
"That's is what he is really like." I continue to say to myself. Then I look up Dissonance, "Now that I think about it, I am kinda pointless. I have no one. I might actually agree with you."
His face was a bit shocked, "What do you mean you have no one?" he spat out, rudely.
"My mother, brother and sister are gone; I don't have my father anymore. I have no friends, and like you said, no one is getting me. I have no one, I am really just a piece in the city." I sigh to myself.
He looks at me for a second, "No one." He repeats to himself. He soon shakes it off, "Of course I'm right."
I look up confused, "Wait, so if I'm so pointless, who is going through the trouble to kidnap me?"
He freezes, he obviously didn't think that part through, "Well-well, it was because you were so pointless they wanted you." He lies.
The rest of the day was awkward; Dissonance knew he was caught, so he was very quiet. But I sat on a chair as I looked out the large widow to the night sky.
"So you don't have any parents left?" he walks up to me, sitting in the chair next to me.
He was taking sudden interest in my past? Was he just replaced with someone new?
No, he was just trying to manipulate me, "Why should I talk about my past to the guy who kidnapped me?" I snarl.
"Because I'm interested, isn't that good enough. I'm not going to do anything to you, all I do is get you, and bring you waiting for you to get picked up. I should be trusted." He brings up.
I couldn't argue with that point. So I explain my whole story. I needed to talk to someone anyway. I stopped right at the part where I had to leave me father.
His eyes opened wider and wider as I finished. He didn't say a word to me.
"I'm done." I said to him, leaning in a bit.
He shook his head and cleared his throat, "Yes, right." He stood up, "I'm going to bed."
"Goodnight!" I shout as he walks across the room to his mattress.
Were we really starting to get along?
+++Speedy+++
We all sat around the round table, eating many different pizzas. They all talked joyfully to each other. I ate my pizza quietly.
Then I saw her. She sat at another table eating quietly to herself. I stood up and approached the table, "Haven't seen you around here." I used my smooth tone.
She looked up to me, looking even more beautiful. She had black hair, and blue eyes I could barely see through her long hair. She wore a hood, but I could notice she strangely had cat ears.
"I'm knew." She smirked at me.
"Well, welcome to Jump City!" I raised my hand to around me, then lowered it towards her, "I'm Speedy." A small smile crept onto my face.
"Just call me Sly Shadow." She smiled, taking my hand.
Why on earth was I doing this? I mean, she was obviously pretty, but it's not for sure Annabel is dead. I couldn't do this to her if she came back.
"So Speedy, you fight crime?" she smirked.
"I do in fact. Why? Like a guy who can kick some butt?" I rested my arms on the table and leaned in, "So he can come and save you from some robbers?" I whispered.
"I can defend myself, thanks." She still smirked, tilting her head to the side.
"Oh? So do you fight crime then?" I smirk back.
"Not exactly." She rolls her eyes.
"Oh don't tell me a pretty girl like you does the crime." My smirk still plastered on my face.
It puzzled me that I was being myself around Sly than I did Annabel. I mean, Sly didn't mind this part of me, but why was I different?
She laughs, and a light pink flushes onto her cheeks, "No, I could fight crime, I just chose not to, that's all." She looks down to her pizza slice.
"Speedy!" I hear the high voice of Beast Boy and turn around.
He looked ashamed at me, then spoke, "We are heading home." He walked closer to me and whispered, "Don't do this, Speedy."
The sentence stung at me. He told me what I already knew, but I couldn't stop. I need to move on, she was obviously not coming back.
"I have my own way home, go ahead." I look to Sly Shadow and smile, she returns it.
Beast Boy walks away, shaking his head, looking much more ashamed as before.
"Sorry," I turn back to her, "Where were we?"
+++Annabel+++
I laid on the floor, small gems rolling down my cheek.
I missed Speedy so much. I missed how he made me blush. I missed his cooking for me. I missed him. I wanted out of here. Or at least let me see Speedy once more before I die. I need to tell him how I feel.
I just want to leave. I have about four days left. Please, oh please get me out of here.
I sat up; taking the gems that had fallen from my face into my hands. I raised it above my head. It quickly came down as I flung my fist to the ground.
The sound of shattering glass was heard. The gems scattered across the floor. I wept louder and more gems came down.
"What's the problem?" the tired monotone voice came from behind me.
I turned around, the moonlight shined through the windows and I saw Dissonance standing before me, crouched and rubbing his eyes.
"You wouldn't care." I mumble, grabbing more gems rolling down my face.
"Now I'm not some heartless being." He sat in front of me, looking into my eyes, "Now tell me, what is bothering you?"
He didn't really want to know, did he? Well he asked, so I might as well tell him, "I want to go back, I missed Speedy. He was all I had, and now he's gone too. I guess I'm ready to die, but he should know how I feel at least, right?" I collapsed, crying more, "Who am I kidding, I don't want to die. I want to be with Speedy. This is horrible!" I cried out.
He sighed and stood up, "Now I don't understand any of this, but you seem to be in a lot of emotional pain, so I'm going to do you a favor." His arms reached down to me.
I suddenly felt exhausted, like I ran many, many miles. I closed my eyes, and feel asleep.
+++Speedy+++
"So where are you staying at, Sly?" I smiled at the pretty girl who decided to take her hood off.
We had been talking for hours; the sun had rested on the surface of the lake.
"I'm not staying anywhere, I just got here." she says somewhat cheerfully.
"Well why don't you come back to Titans Tower?" I stand up, "Com'on, you can ride on my motorcycle." I smirk, holding out my hand to her.
"Well, if it's a motorcycle…" she stands, grabbing my hand and smirking in return.
We walk back to my motorcycle, we both put on our helmets, "You have to hold on." I inform her.
Her arms wrap around my lower chest. My face gets a bit hot. I couldn't help but to picture Annabel wrapping her arms around me like this instead of Sly Shadow.
We both rode back to the Tower. The two of us entered in and they all stared.
"Hey, everyone, this is Sly Shadow. She came from Gotham, and needs a place to stay." I looked around to see no one smiling, even Starfire.
"Fine," Robin spits out, "Sly Shadow, I hope you find a new place to stay, and quickly we are expecting a friend to return soon." He glared at me, and I avoided his eyes.
She nodded, "No problem."
We all turn to the door when a knock occurs.
The door opened to see a teenage girl, dressed in purple stood at the door. The other four couldn't help but smile, and Robin stood frozen, "Ginger Ninja." He said quietly to himself.
:O all of these things are happening so fast!
both Ginger Ninja and Sly Shadow come from Xelaric The Nobody (Read her FFs on Ginger Ninja for backround info! Itll make more sence! and Sly Shadow is just a cute story)
