The disk broke through the window and shattered the glass. Beast boy walked over and picked up the disk. "It's a warning," he said coldly. "Slade will be back." Terra sat there, to shocked to speak. Finally, she found her voice. "Beast...Beast boy? Will he...will he-" Terra couldn't continue, her voice faltered and faded. "No," Beast boy said, sensing her concern. "he won't. Just stay here, please." Beast boy walked out the door. Leaving Terra all alone.
"Um...Robin...can we talk...privately?" Robin nodded and followed him to the roof. Beast boy looked both ways as if he thought someone was following him. "I need to tell you something, but you have to promise not to tell anyone,not even Terra."
"Okay," Robin replied. "I promise I won't tell."
"Look," Beast boy replied. "There's something about that story I didn't tell you."
Beast boy watched the helicopter fly away, Slade stood at it's edge. A blade was in his hand; it's blade reflected sunlight. "I will get you," Beast boy whispered. Slade's red eye still could be seen, Beast boy found himself staring at it...until it disappeared. Until he could see it no more. The only traces it or the helicopter had been there was a scratch on Beast boy's arm from where the blade had hit him and his clutched fist.
Beast boy was angrier than he had ever been. And, terrified...terrified he would be back. Slade will be back. There's no way this is just a one hit thing. When he does return, I will have him, Beast boy thought coldly. Beast boy rubbed his right arm where the scratch was. He felt hair, more hair than he should. Slade, Terra...and the Beast had returned. "Thanks...Adonis," he said to himself.
"Are you sure you felt...the Beast?" Robin asked his green friend. (The Beast was a name the team called him after the fight with their enemy, Adonis, Beast boy turned into a monster...a beast.) Beast boy nodded and looked down at the ocean below. "I don't wanna admit this, but this thing, this beast, I actually like it."
"You like being a huge green monster and-"
"NO! I like being stronger than what I am, I like being powerful, and knowing I could destroy-"
"your not going after Slade, Beast boy," Robin interrupted. Beast boy rolled his eye. "Obviously," Beast boy said. "Look...I thought...since we're having a hard time with him...like usual, I could-"
"what do you mean 'like usual'," Robin interrupted again.
"Well it's wasn't exactly to take him down the first time," Beast boy said to him.
"You have a point," Robin replied.
"Anyway. I was thinking, what if I learned to control this...thing? What if I could turn into it anytime I needed to in battle? Pretty sweet idea right?" Beast boy smiled like he would when he had made a joke. "It may be," Robin said.
Beast boy knew he had to control that thing, needed to control it. Like the team needed to get rid of Slade. Once and for all.
He also knew he lied to Robin, his leader and friend.
Slade had pulled the last straw coming after Terra, when he had just gotta Terra back.
Slade sat in a dark room, his metal hands were closed together, his fingers and palms all touched. "My plan is working perfectly," he said to himself. Slade got up from the pinewood conference table, behind his mask he smirked. "I'll just need a few more...incentives."
He laughed evilly. On the table sat a black bag with nothing but poisons and bombs.
Jeez, Slade...over doing it as always aren't you? Poison and Bombs? Really. Anyway, while I try to figure out what poisons are in his bag, review and tell me what you think.
