We're not in Wonderland anymore Alice.

-Charles Manson

I awoke the next morning the next morning my face: redden and swollen from my tearful night but I didn't care. I pulled on my cloak not even bothering to wash up or anything it wasn't like it was necessary after all there was any one I intended on impressing. I, upon entering to the common's room noticed that it was extremely quiet which was unusual. My team sat divided amongst the space. Slade's plan was unfolding in front of my eyes. We didn't feel like a team more along the lines of strangers. I had to do something anything to fix this…but how? Slade's ultimatum didn't have any lope holes which meant I was screwed either way. My thoughts where interrupted when I heard two voices yelling: Robin and Beast Boy.

"Will you stop being obnoxious for just one moment Beast Boy and run the crime reports?"

"Obnoxious? I'll take that as a compliment coming from the loser who goes around breaking hearts and cheating on Raven because he thinks he's so awesome because he's Robin…Boy Wonder!"

"You keep Raven out of this!"

This isn't going to end well...I just know it.

"You're just mad because it's true!"

"I'm not mad."

"HA! It's written all on your face bird brain."

"I don't have to take this. I quit!"

"Good we'll be a better team without you!"

Starfire stood up and interjected in the two's argument.

"Friends we must not argue."

Cyborg stood and said,

"Friends? Are you serious? We aren't even a team anymore!"

"You have a point. We aren't a team and I think it will be for the best if we weren't!"

No. This couldn't be happening...not to my team this felt so surreal. I stood up from my spot on the sofa and decided I had nothing to lose if Slade did decide to kill me by telling them.

"EVERYONE STOP IT! LOOK AT US! THIS ISN'T HOW IT SHOULD—"

I didn't even finish my sentence when I felt Slade's grasp on me grow stronger. The pain I felt couldn't compare to anything that I'd ever experienced in my life. The room was spinning and then turned to darkness. Slade's figure emerged from the darkness I saw.

"Raven didn't I tell you not to test me. I will do it."

"Then what are you waiting for? Destroy me. It wouldn't matter."

"Ahh I see you're stupider than I gave you credit for Raven."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's just say if you can't keep your mouth shut this time I will not kill you…I'll kill Robin and make sure you see and feel ever blow I deliver."

"You will not."

"Oh but I will. And when I do I expect that to be our little secret as well."

I tried to stand up but I couldn't. My skin felt as it was on fire and my breathing was erratic I struggled to say,

"Slade get the hell out of my head now!"

"I'll be happy to oblige remember I'm always here.Where ever, whenever, you need me. And that is a promise I intend to keep no matter what happens."

I felt the anger begin to boil inside of me. Just as I was about to unleash the fury of a thousand suns; he disappeared. I searched franticly for the target of my hatred but he was gone...for now.
