"Well, Slade's seemed to pick the right person for the job."

"She's stronger than we all thought."

"But everything we threw at her only got thrown back. She's got to have some sort of weakness."

"What, Robin. We did everything, put our best into that fight, and we lost miserably."

"She was expecting us. We need to have the advantage by making a surprise attack next time."

"Or we could train up an army of gerbils and-"

"No Beast Boy."

"Well I'd like to see you come up with a better idea."

"What's wrong Robin?"

"No villain has defeated us before. I won't let her be the first."

"She wasn't the first."

"Beast Boy?"

"Terra got us first, don't you remember? Stuck underground. I don't call that a victory."

Chaos gripped the bandage now surrounding her upper right arm. Blood had dripped steadily through the wound, and what was once white was now being stained red. Her eyes hardened, forcing any tears that may have attempted to reach the surface back to where they came from. Her lips sat in a straight line, rigid on her pale face. Her head slightly bowed, she sat on the floor, the blood now starting to seep through her fingers. But she wouldn't, she mustn't, let the pain show.

Footsteps, heavy and slow, were heard, closer and closer to the wounded girl. Hastily kneeling, Chaos pulled her sleeve down to disguise the bandage, knowing that soon her top too would soon be stained. Her eyes bore into the ground, unblinking.

"I'm sorry master, I could not defeat them."

"Insolence, Apprentice. Do not get used to it."

"I won't."

"There is something attacking in the park, please, go attend to the matter. It is most likely the works of the Teen Titans, and you should encounter our enemies there."

"Yes Master."

A red light, flashing throughout the tower.

"Titans, trouble!"

Chaos arrived, having flown over multiple buildings to reach the once green, peaceful park. Now mud surrounded the monster located in the centre, its blue sheen glowing in the faint sunlight. Yellow eyes set in its head locked onto Chaos's grey ones, watching her.

Chaos was alone, and therefore, knew her powers had hardly any strength. She was weakened, but that didn't mean she couldn't try. She focused her mind, willing black energy to lash out from her frail body, but nothing happened. So instead she attempted to force a star bolt, clenching her fist. As a green glow started to appear, it started to grow stronger, indicating approach from others.

Chaos's face split into a grin, and fired star bolts, one after the other, at the blue thing that was attempting to destroy the park. It had nothing to fire back, and so launched itself at the unsuspecting teen. Although unwary, she swiftly figured out what was going on, and fired black energy straight towards its chest, hoping to strike where the heart could be located underneath the skin.

Fear and panic in the air

The Titans, arrived, stopping and staring from sheer shock. There she was, the one who had so recently attempted to destroy a large part of the city, and in the most part succeeded, and now she was trying to save the park. A confused look was shown on all their faces, as they watched her easily defeat her prey, with a simple shot to the chest. Robin took one step forward, the only one to notice the blood-stained bandage adorning her right arm, and suddenly Chaos was alerted to their presence.

"So, you came to watch your precious monster get defeated. Pathetic. Villains really are getting easier to defeat."

"Why did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Save the park."

Chaos's face became angry, her eyebrows descending, her eyes hardening.

I want to be free from desolation and despair.

"We're not all villains like you. I protect the city from the likes of you."

"We're not the villains. You are."

I can't get it right.

A thin tendril of black energy struck her adversary, and he dropped to the ground, seemingly stunned. Chaos snarled.

"Liar! You sent that monster, and now you can't bear for me to have overwhelmed it so quickly! I refuse to allow you to destroy anymore of the city! I refuse!"

No one thinks that they are to blame.

Raven and Cyborg hailed shots of blue and black down on Chaos as she spoke, yet like before they did her no harm. Starfire was dragging the team's leader out of harm's way, trying to revive him at the same time. Chaos watched them, a small grin playing with her lips. However, whilst distracted with trying to bring down the two still firing and the scene unfurling around Robin, Beast Boy charged as a bull and knocked the teen down, forcing her to crash to the ground, slamming her damaged arm on the floor. She gasped in pain, and Beast Boy transformed back into human form, stepping back to take a good look at Chaos. Her one eye visible was starting to fill with tears, but she refused to let them defeat her over a petty cut and a few drops of blood.

When we bleed we bleed the same.

Her eyes glowing yellow, the ground beneath Beast Boy's feet began to crumble. However, she knew that this attack, these powers, could only be used once or twice, their source not far away and yet not close enough.

"No. . ."

Falling through the ground, Beast Boy tried to grab onto the ledge, his gloved hand slipping on the rocks.

"How. . ."

But by then Chaos had walked off, fighting against the now strong breeze to approach the Titans.

"Tell me, has your life of crime ever paid off?"

And with that, a black aura engulfed them, slowly crushing them as the bubble decreased in size. The Titans tried to bang on its smooth surface, but nothing they did could create the smallest of cracks.

So scattered and lost.

Raven tried to take control of the bubble, knowing that Chaos was tapping into her powers. But Raven was not the one in control – Chaos was. Beast Boy watched in horror from the sky, having escaped from his earthy prison by transforming into a bird, and flew straight down with an immense speed, pointed beak aimed straight for its target. Beak met skin and Chaos collapsed to the ground from agony, holding her arm that was now bleeding freely, despite the bandage trying to prevent the blood loss. Her attention now diverted, the bubble disappeared, and the now freed Titans approached to arrest the young girl now writhing in agony.

Life will flash before my eyes.

Chaos looked up that little bit too late, as the Titans were already upon her. She tried to concentrate her thoughts, channel them into something to keep the Titans at bay, but the excruciating pain emanating from her arm was stopping her from doing so. With a small shock to the head by Starfire, Chaos was knocked unconscious, easily handcuffed, and carried to the tower.

Meanwhile, Slade watched from his hideout, viewing the scene through the camera installed into the glass covering Chaos's eye. His face displayed no emotion behind his mask, but to someone who knew him well, his body language displayed that he was not pleased.

"So Titans, you have captured my Apprentice, much quicker than I thought you would. I am surprised she did not put up a fight. Pity. You wish to convert her perhaps? Shame. You do not stand a chance. She wishes to do good, protect the city, and in her mind, you are the criminals. I'm looking forward to see you try and persuade her otherwise."
