Sorry for the long hiatus, but I'm now I'm back and ready to continue the story! So we left off with our new heroes gaining some help from new friends, Slade is plotting something diabolical and evil(and will most likely involve Robin, because hey, why not?), and Shadow's younger brother is in the works. What will happen now?! You'll just have to wait and see. ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, only Shadow, Vana, Lucki, and Slater (my friend Starlingg12 owns Lyle and is co-creator to this fic)
Chapter 7: Help Arrives and Plots Unleashed
The four superhero teens sat around the dimly lit fire, growing weary from waiting.
"Weren't the Titans supposed to be here by now?" Slater complained.
"You do realize the sooner they get here, the sooner they'll throw you in prison." Shadow explained.
Slater's expression changed in realization. "Right..."
"Idiot." Lucki muttered.
Slater jumped to his feet and growled. "What did you just say, meat wad?"
"I said that you're..." Lucki stood up and pushed Slater backwards. "...an idiot."
"That's it!" Slater charged towards his opponent.
Before they could do any bodily harm, a pair of strong hands came between them and tossed both aside in opposite directions.
"Stop it!" Vana screamed. "Fighting will get you nowhere. And right now we need all of the help we can get to defeat Slade. So PLEASE try to get along for at least a few hours. Then you guys can go back to trying to assassinate one another.
The two males huffed a sigh. "Fine." they both grumbled.
"Good."
And at that very moment, help finally arrived...
. . .
Lyle groaned, his body was covered in bruises and he was weak.
"You see little boy, your sister is very unique and might be useful in my favor. I could eliminate the Titans with her help!" Slade cackled menacingly.
"Even if I did have a sister, I know she wouldn't work for a mean man like you!" Lyle retorted, anger seething from his voice.
Slade chuckled. "We'll just see how wrong you are, now won't we?"
. . .
"Robin!" Shadow and Vana both yelled. "Thank god you guys are here, we can't possibly take on Slade by ourselves."
"You won't have to. We're not going to let Slade hurt either of you." he said.
"So, uh, who are your friends?" Beast Boy asked, pointing to Lucki and Slater.
"Oh, yeah! This is Lucki and Slater." Shadow introduced.
They both stepped forward. Lucki greeted with a formal hand gesture, while Slater just nodded his head in their direction.
"Okay, so what's the plan?" Vana asked.
"Well, Slade is always one step ahead, so we should do a sneak attack from all directions." Robin proposed.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"So here's how we'll start. First, Star and Vana will..."
. . .
"Please...let me go..." Lyle begged.
Blood dripped down his arm. Slade was hurting him badly.
"Oh I wish I could, but sadly, I cannot. I need you as bait. Once your sister can see that you're being held as my prisoner, she'll surely sacrifice her life for you."
"But I don't got a sister!" Lyle cried.
SMACK!
Slade hit him once more. "Shut up you insolent child!"
Slade walked away, leaving a broken and sobbing Lyle huddled in the corner of the metal cell. Will this be the end of Lyle Grey? Or will someone come and save him before it's too late?
And that's it for chapter 7! I hope it wasn't too terrible, I just really wanted to update since it's been so long. Anyway, I'll see you next chapter, review please!
