Ace Chapter 3:
Hello everyone! How's a goin'? Well for me it's been pretty busy, updating, writing, typing and school… -_- stupid school... I mean I love it and all, but I don't get the chance update stuff. Soooooooooooooo sorry guys.
Any who, Teen Titans does not belong to me. But Astara, Jacy, and Paul belong to me.
Astara's Pov:
I smugly got out of Robin's arms. I fell to the ground, but stood up quickly. "Astara?" Beast Boy asked. I made a clear blue ball of energy. I slapped it to the ground. Sending shock waves through out the city, the mist came back to my palm. "Will you tell me what the heck just happened?" Cyborg asked. "I….I, I'm blind. I can't see anything." I said stuttering. "Why?" Robin asked. I backed up.
"I'm different then you, I have a disease, and I'm the only one in the world that has it." I said. "What kind of disease is it?" Robin asked as he was getting a bit closer to me. "It makes me quarter, to half to fully blind. It only lasts for 3-4 weeks every 2 months." I said.
"What's it like being blind?" Starfire asked. "I am blind, but I have a power that helps me see or in this case 'feel' using my mind. Right now everything is black, but I can 'feel' where you guys are." I said. I continued to walk backwards, till I hit the wall. I slid down and started to cry. Robin took my hand and he sat next to me.
"It's ok." He said in a calming voice. I buried my head into him. He had a shock reaction, but held me even closer. I looked up to him, he wiped away me tears and hugged me. "I want to go home." I said flat. I stood up and walked to Paul, took my medication, and gave him a quick hug. "Good-bye Paul, I'm staying in this city, so I'll visit you a bit more, if you want." I said with a raspy voice.
"Of course, Astara, you're welcome to come by when ever you want." He said as I gave him another hug, and then walked to the titans. "Let's go home." I said as I walked out of the building.
As soon as we got home, I headed straight for bed. "Astara!" I heard Robin call. I ignored him and continued walking. He caught up to me.
"Astara! Why won't you talk to me!?" He asked. "I just want to go to bed." I said. "Fine then we'll go to bed." He said as he picked me up bridal style. "Robin? What are you doing?" I asked. He didn't say a word; he just walked to my room. He took me to my bed, as I took my shoes off Robin got my bed ready, and then he took his shoes off, and hopped in bed with me. "Robin?" I said in confusion. His lips quickly came on to mine. "What the hell?" Came to thought. He kissed my neck. "Robin, what are you doing?" I thought out loud. "Astara, can I ask you something?" He said. "You just did, silly!" I said. "Haha, very funny! But seriously, can I? It's a really big question." He said in a semi joking matter. "Go ahead." I responded. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.
"Yes." I said with a huge smile. "YES! Yes! Yes!" I said happily as I could ever be. I kissed him.
For a long time. He stroked my cheek as we kissed. He put his hand on my bare hip, as I put my hands in his hair. He moaned as I felt his hand go up my back, then stopped to pull me in closer to him. He started to kiss my neck. "I love you." He stopped. "I love you too." he answered and fell asleep in his arms. I woke up the next morning and walked to the kitchen. There was a note on the table it said.
"Hey Astara, we had a late night battle to go to. I didn't want to wake you. We'll be back soon. Love you. ~Robin" "Aww that's so sweet!" I said. Arms came around my waist. I gasped. I turned to not see Robin. But it was Slade. "Let me go!" I squirmed. "Calm down Astara!" He said. "No! You took away my life! You destroyed me!" I yelled. "Calm down, I just wanted to show you something." He said as he took my hand and put a device that opened and had a camera inserted in it.
Almost like a mini computer in the palm of your hand. The screen flashed, someone appeared in the screen. "Astara?" The woman asked. "MOM!" I cried. "Oh, Astara! I thought I would never see you again! How old are you now?" She asked. "I'm fourteen turning fifteen in two days." I responded, starting to cry. "I have to go mom, I'll be back in a bit to chat some more with you, ok?" I asked. "Of course Astara! I'll be waiting." She cried. I closed the compact. I turned to Slade. I stuck out my hand, awaiting a handshake. He grabbed my hand, and shook it well. Robin and company walked in.
Surprised to see me shaking my hand with Slade. He pulled me into a hug. "Thank you." I said as he released the hug. "Good bye Astara! I'll be back sometime." He cried as he jumped out the window. "Good bye Slade." I said into a whisper. I dropped to the ground. I started to cry. Robin came toward me. "It will be okay Astara, I promise we'll find them." He said. I opened the compact, and clicked a button that, sent a video chat request to Mom. In mere seconds she responded. "Astara, are you ok?" She asked. "No, mom I'm not fine." I said deeply.
Robin came beside me, and took off his mask. "Jacy?" He asked. "Dick? Is that you? You've grown up so much!" She cried. "It's been a while." He joked. "Are you taking care of Astara?" She asked. "I am, more than ever." He said as he kissed my cheek. "Aww, that's adorable!" She cried. "Thanks, would you like to talk to Bruce?" He asked. "Of course! I haven't seen him in ages!" she cried. I took the compact before he handed it to Bruce. "I'll find you, I promise." I said deeply, then passed it to Bruce. I walked into the kitchen.
I placed my hands apart for each other. Leaning down, my hair flopped down. Robin, took most of my hair, and planted a kiss on my cheek. Beast Boy came into the conversation abruptly. "Uh, guys. This is a kitchen, made for cooking, not for making out in." He said.
I started to giggle. I stood up and gave him a hug, then Starfire, as well as Raven. I came to Robin, he pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm hungry." I said. "I'll make you some breaky, if you want." He said. "That would be great!" I said in my normal, cheery tone. I jumped on his back.
He snickered and gave me a piggy back ride. I giggled, before he let me down. He made me my tofu bacon and eggs. I ate it in minutes. Full of energy. "Let's go practice!" I cried as I grabbed Robin's arm, and ran out of there. I closed my eyes, and imaged the practice ground where they normally practice. We were there in mere seconds. "Wow! That one of the most amazing powers I've ever seen!" He exclaimed. "Thanks! I need to practice, might as well do it here." I said with a smile. "Of course. I'll get it ready."
The course fizzled into position, I prepared myself into battle form. The countdown started. "3…2…1…" A loud blast came through me as I ran to attack.
I finished in 40 seconds flat, beating Cyborg's time by 20 seconds. " I hate losing." He said non-emotionally. "And I love winning." I said giggling.
I flashed back up in the kitchen and grabbed a few bottles of water, then flashed back to Cyborg and the others. I passed out the bottles. "Thanks!" Beast boy cheerfully said.
Robin came and gave me a hug, "Hey." He said deep. "Hey yourself." I said as I laughed at the end. He grabbed my hand, and walk up and into the house. "I have something to show you." He said with a smile.
"What is it?"
"You'll see, just close your eyes."
"Alright." I said as I closed my eyes. Robin picked me up and carried me somewhere, he put me down. "Alright we're here." He said.
"Robin, where is 'here'?" I asked. "You'll have to open your eyes to find out." He said with a chuckle. I was in a room, painted from the bottom, black slowly turning purple, to the top which was a light purple, almost white. I think it was purple, I couldn't really tell. There was music notes painted in white. The bed was huge and fluffy. The converter was a deep purple matching the paint, a desk with tons of music sheets, pencils, pens and erasers. I was in complete heaven. But was killed me the most was the mini black grand piano, the microphone and the recording supplies. "This is the most amazing thing ever!" I cried in joy.
"Well it's yours!" Beast boy chuckled. I turned my face with jaw dropped. "REALLY!" I shouted even louder. "Yup." Raven said in her low voice. "AHH!" I cried as I ran up to all of them and hugged them. "You guys are the greatest!"
The alarm went off. "Slade." Robin said.
"Can I come…" My voice trailed off. "Of course! We're going to need you." He said with a smile. The team and I ran off to the area Slade. It was a lab, filled with micro-chips. "Slade!" I cried. "Why hello, cuz!" He said laughing. "You won't get away with this, Slade!" I cried. "I highly doubt that child, for one thing you're blind." He said as I cut him off with a blue ball of energy. "That doesn't mean I don't know where you are!" I cried as I went full force toward him. Punching and kicking the hardest I could go. I looked back to see the titans ready for battle. My hands turn from blue to bright red.
"Is that what happens when you get mad?" Slade asked, still attacking. "Ha! No, it's just a different power." I answered. Cyborg turned to Robin. "Is she having a conversation with him?" "Don't look at me!" Robin replied sarcastically. "Mhmm, it looks like you've been getting stronger my dear." He said deeply. "I learnt from the best." I cried as I did one last punch knocking off his mask. "You win this time Astara. What's the score now?" He asked. "10-8 I'm winning." I said darkly. "Lucky you, hopefully next time you won't be." He said as he hid in the darkness and fanished.
"Astara!" Starfire asked. "I'm good." I said wincing from the cut on my below my chest. "Ow." I said with no-emotion. Robin picked me up. As we walked out I could feel someone watching me. "Robin do you mind putting me down for a second?" I asked. "Yeah, sure." And did what he was told. I stood perfectly still. "Um, Astara what are you…" I cut off his voice throwing a blue energy ball at a dark figure. "11-9 Astara." I said and walked away. The rest of the team boggled in how she knew Slade was there.
The team walked home slowly, Robin noticed Astara's walking getting slower and slower, and her skin getting paler and paler. "That's it, Astara! You're losing to much blood and you're getting weak." Robin said loudly. "No, I'm not! I'm fine!" I said wincing once again. "let me get this in your head. YOU ARE NOT ALRIGHT, alright?" He said even more loudly. "Fine." I said with the most unamused face possible. Robin picked me up and carried me. I cuddled my face in his chest, as we walked into the sunset.
At least, I thought it was a sunset. I couldn't really tell.
