I dedicate this story to: Maraina85 and Sir Raven of Azarath for helping me with this story.

The alarm went off.

It's Slade." My sister, Alex, told me coldly.

I rushed toward Starfire and Alex who were staring evilly at the large image of the half metal-faced criminal.

"Hello," He said.

"Hello," I answered back.

"Are you alone?" He asked impatiently.

"No," I said "why?"

"Well then," He said "tell whoever is in there to leave!"

I could tell Alex was insulted by the surprised look on her face, and

Starfire, she didn't exactly understand.

"Why does Slade want us to leave?" She asked puzzled.

"Because he doesn't want us to hear whatever he's going to say!!"

Alex said, trying to hold in her anger.

I motioned her to leave, but she obviously ignored me.

I nudged her with my elbow.

She rolled her eyes and started to leave.

"If I can't stay, neither can you." she muttered as she grabbed Starfire's flying toe and dragged it through the hall.

"I'm alone now." I said.

"Good." He whispered.

He pulled a test tube shaped bottle from behind his back and started playing with it.

"Have you ever had a dream you thought would never come true?" He asked.

I hesitated for a moment then replied with a lie. "No." I answered, holding my breath.

He knows, I thought, he found out.

"Are you sure?" He asked slyly" Is that really the truth?"

I wanted to turn and runaway to ignore him in case he did know the truth, but something planted me to the ground.

"I see." He said" You won't admit it."

"You're wasting my time." I told him" Why are you annoying me?"

He paused and then began to reply. "Because I know."

"I know you've always been jealous of your sister and your friends. Their ability to do the impossible has overwhelmed you. You want powers and you know it." He paused.

"But why are you bothering me about it?" I asked "Why?"

"Because I have the solution." Was his reply " I can help you"

I stepped away from the screen in shock.

"Why do you want to help me?" I asked

"In fact," I said " why would you want to help me?"

"Robin, Robin, Robin." He shook his head "Don't you see? I want to be you're friend."

I was completely confused. Just yesterday we were enemies, now he wants to be my friend?

What is wrong with this world, I wondered. But even though he was my enemy, the desire to be supernatural was too strong to resist.

"Okay," I said "what do I have to do?"

"I'll send you this bottle through a minion of mine." He stopped playing with the bottle in his hands and held it in front of his face.

It contained a blue-green liquid that glistened in the little light coming from the surroundings in the room Slade was in.

"Drink this," He instructed " and your dreams will come true."

Sorry this story is so short! I promise to make the next chapter longer.
