Well, you guys asked for more! ;D Here's more to read! Enjoy! Yeah, keep those pitch forks away or you don't get the story. ;P
I slumbered into sleep for now since I had not much of a choice. If I lacked sleep, I won't be able to defend for myself and have to prepare whatever X got coming for me. Could he have lied about other things or everything?
Shortly, the blanket was whipped away and I flung up to see where it went. X was holding the blanket and waited for me to be up. So, the force shield was down and I growled.
"I was sleeping you know?"
X shrugged, "So was I. However, I can't turn back the clock and sleep in like everyone else does."
My eyes rolled, "What? Why you're waking me up?"
He chuckled, "Defensive, aren't we? Come on, I need to change that bandage of yours."
X gestured the way out of the room. I have forgotten about the pain after getting into some state of sleep, but it's there. I cradled my arm and wasn't too sure if he planned on something different.
"Well?" His arms crossed, waiting for me to move it now.
"It doesn't need change."
He chuckled, "Kid, I'm not stupid. You want to be back at the tower someday, don't you?"
That pulled my head back and didn't want to believe all the words he considered.
"Then, what's the point of being kidnapped in the first place?"
He nodded a few times, "I have my reasons, but I'm not all that evil, kid. Not everything is in black and white."
Funny, that's how I'd see the worlds sometimes. There's always a fine line between evil and good, but not everyone chooses a side. It happens without a thought about it.
"I'm not leaving until I get back into my hero clothes."
He shrugged and went over to the wall with those buttons and pressed one of them, "Get dress then. But, those clothes you wore yesterday are being washed since there's some of your blood on them."
How did he…? While I was a sleep? Great, I can't be comfortable and hoping there wasn't any weird or girly clothes. I checked over at the rack and noticed they weren't girl clothes. What the? Was he pulling my legs around? I grabbed a good pair of jeans, some dark blue t-shirt, and headed into the bathroom to change into. X waited for me next to the bathroom door, but why hasn't he pulled the demand act? He could easily boss me around or control me by now. What's with the kindness act?
I threw the girly pajamas onto the floor and knowing that won't ever happen again. The jeans felt nice…I haven't worn them in years and remembered someone mocking at me that I have a flat butt. Yeah, not anymore. My head shook…I should visit her soon…if I ever get out of here first.
I glanced up at the mirror and thought about how normal I almost looked. I was almost a teenager again. I haven't been one in a long time and I don't think I'd ever plan on going back to one. Sure, teen titan…but what happens when we all turn twenty? Would we ever continue to work together as a teen titan? Would we not care about our age or just get separated?
I fear at the very thoughts of our team breaking up for good. No…it won't happen and I won't let it.
But, I left my first team. What would make it say that I won't do the same to my current team now? My head shook, no…I won't ever leave them. We stick together and no one should stop us, not even villain or new members of the team can break that up.
"Kid, are you done yet?" He called out.
I sighed and shook my head. I refused to come out and there's no way he's changing my bandage. At least I was being treated…fair? So, I came out bare feet and he was leading the way for me. He took us back to the white room that had the medical equipment or important health products. He pointed over to the bed was. I flinched at the memory and shook it off. I sat down over there and avoided any eye contact…if there was any.
He was slowly unwrapping the first bandage and didn't rush. He held my arm gently as if it could break or fall apart. Like he was scared that if it fell, he wouldn't be able to fix it back together. Some of the pain came when the pressure was easing off. I didn't like it anymore, but I wanted it over.
"You're good, kid." He nodded…
What was his expression under that mask? Was he smiling? Frowning? Expressionless? I wasn't too sure, even his voice can try to put out some emotions for me. He hasn't been upset with me so far.
"I'm just used to it. I was trained to do it." And it was true, but I didn't care.
He glanced up, "Kid…are you in pain?"
"It's nothing." Lies…all over again.
He finally got to the last layer of my bandage and cleaned them with antibacterial stuff. It stung so badly, I chose not express the pain. Not in front of someone who's my enemy. It would mean he won more battles with me, the better chances he can win the war over a hero like me. I'd fail to my loving parents. No…I won't let that happen.
He wrapped them up again. Fresh bandages, but why did he chooses to take care of the damage? Was it that I was this important to him? What values do I even possess to him? Nothing made sense why or how it comes to be.
He made sure it got to the good tightness of the bandage and it felt a little better. I needed that somehow. He tied it down and nodded his head a couple of times. He went to wash his hands, but I didn't feel like moving around yet. There had to be a plan of an escape without causing my friends' lives. This place had to be huge cave…big as the other cave I grew up before becoming a teen titan.
He was getting something from the cupboards and bought it down. He even reached out a large glass of cup and filled it up with water. He joined over back to me and handed it over to me.
"Here, one pill for the pain and the other one is your vitamin needs. They should help you feel better in a month or something."
I blinked and glanced down. Why would he want me to take them? My head shook.
"No."
He placed the pill and vitamin on my palm, "Take it. Now. I don't want to see you in this much pain." He held out the glass of water to me.
"No! I already said it's nothing!"
He stomped his foot, "You're in pain! I see the way you're flinching when I unwrapped your bandage!"
I threw them away, refused to take such thing, and he wasn't in a good mood anymore.
"Kid, you're going to take it like it is."
I scoffed, "No, I won't! You're only asking to drug me up!"
"I'm not! I want to heal you up in a good and healthy shape!"
He set down the glass next to me and went to get another set. My head shook and stayed here. I didn't care, I don't want little things to destroy me, and there's no way I'm going to plan on dying now. X marched back up to me and yanked my hair tightly. I screamed in violent pain and he shoved something down into my mouth. He covered it and loosened up the grip. He caressed my head.
"Swallow it. Now."
If I faked it, he'll let go and I can spit it right out. I waited, stared at him, and…
Then, I realized they were melting on my tongue and felt the urge gag. So, I hurried up and swallowed them down. I wanted to remove his hand, but he wouldn't. He didn't dare to move his hand yet. I swallowed again since the taste of that stuff was horrible! No wonder why little kids hate them so much, it tasted awful! I glared at him and waited to be released. No matter how many times I clawed his hand off, he was safer with that uniform on him.
"If you're faking it, I will not be please, Robin."
His voice wasn't exactly something to cross. It sliced my breathing off and knowing that I can't play around. He was just lucky that I already did since I had no choice. I nodded and felt his hands still on me. His grip on my hair was finally let go and he pulled away from my mouth. Then, he held my chin and forced me to open up. He checked around and even checked under my tongue. He handed me a glass of water and insisted to drink it anyway.
Thankfully, I was willing to gulp it down and trying to get rid of the taste. He shook his head, not pleased about anything with my choices today, and I didn't care. I didn't need them.
"I'll change your bandage in a few hours. For now, let's get you to eat something."
I blinked, "You're feeding me?"
"Yes, but do I have to feed you like a baby?"
I grumbled, "No."
"Good."
He clung onto my wrist and dragged me on the way to some room. What the? I hurried up to his pace and we were in a kitchen. It was pretty small and he gathered some cereal poured it into a bowl. He handed it over to me and gave me a spoon. I beamed at my cereal and wasn't too sure.
"Milk?" His head shifted sideway.
"Uh…that would be okay."
He went into the refrigerator and poured milk for me. He didn't pour so much like the others have, but he got the right amount I'd normally go by. He puts it away and crossed his arms.
"You can eat now. I expect you to put them in a sink. I'm going to check on a few things."
Red X left the room and disappeared since then. I stared down at my breakfast and couldn't believe he left me alone. Why? Did he already trust me enough to believe anything he says? I glanced down at my right hand and seeing that metal band on me. Could it just be a regular bracelet band? Something to fool me around with?
Since he gave me breakfast, I decided to eat it anyway without wasting it, and he's already probably expected me to do it so. That and that awful medicine was still in my tongue. Ugh, never gave to make him mad.
He didn't blind fold me. Not since he got me in. I knew where the truck was parked. I can just walk out without an effort. Why did he seem so confident that I wouldn't leave? This bracelet could be a mere fashion thing and nothing else. I had to try something. I set the bowl in the sink and started to remember how to get back to the medical room. Then, I started to head over to the right hallways, there were so many doors, and I couldn't believe the place he had.
He could be one of the rich people, but I don't know much myself with each of them other than the man I knew who took me, and I was glad Bruce did. I wouldn't be here because of him…
I shook my head and finally found the truck X had. The place was just exactly I remembered. I could see a huge opening and easily walked out of here.
I finally passed the front of the car. I didn't rush the walking.
Passed the first car door. Okay, maybe I'm a little worried.
I'm getting to the middle of jeep…so far, nothing happened.
I was getting to the end of the car, my heart raced like crazy and out of hand, and wasn't too sure about this.
I'm just one foot away from leaving the place. It was shaking me up so much, I wasn't too sure to believe it was all too easy.
My feet wouldn't budged, all the thoughts swelled up inside me, and building up in me so much. I had to do something.
I walked and noticed nothing happened in two seco-
FLASHING RED LIGHTS WAS GOING OFF!
I panicked and hurried back into the cave without a second thought. It was already over.
"Robin, I told you that you shouldn't have escaped."
He was right in front where the line has been crossed. My heart raced and he held up a remote with a single button. He was about to press it.
"NO! Please! DON'T! I-I won't do it a-again!" I couldn't fight…not without my weapons.
He pressed it anyway, "Good, because the next time you try or the each time you try, each of them will die one by one." He scoffed, "You're lucky that cutting the alarm off is good and telling the guards it's the false alarm, kid."
I dropped to my knees, trying to calm down, and he knew. He knew I was going to do this. It was a test to see if I try to go against him…in case I doubted him and I have. X joined up at me and bent down to level our head.
"Come on now, let's get you somewhere…other than here. There are plenty of things to do here." X lifted me up.
I felt lost. So lost, I don't think I could put any effort. Because of my stupid action, they almost died to my unthinkable action. X would have gained control, a better of me, and scarred me up for life. They would blame me for doing ruthless act. No…I can't. I shouldn't.
Alright, I might get the next chapter coming out faster, but it depends on my schedule will allow it. I should have it out by at least before the end of February or March 1st - hopefully just tonight or the next day. :'D
