Author Note: Crap. I didn't meant to randomly switch to third person from first person. My bad. Opps. Sorry about that. I forget I was doing first person and it just didn't register in my brain…I blame the pixie sticks. Enjoy this chapter, my faithful readers, and if you are not a faithful reviewer, then please REVIEW! I love you all!

Chapter 10:

Dani:

I glared at Vlad, which was matched. I ignored the Titans' gasps and Beastboy's hurtful expression. I just…sorry, BB…

"Ready to your butt whooped?"

"Your so-called witty replies get old."

"Not as old as you."

I charged an ecto-blast and shot him, which of course he dodged.

"You are of no threat; you're not even a real person! You're just a mistake!"

I bit my lip. I then glared at him more.

"I AM NOT!"

"OF COURSE YOU ARE! DO YOU POSSIBLY THINK THAT SOMEONE CAN LOVE YOU!?"

I heard BB growl, but it didn't stop me. I shot ecto-blast after ecto-blast. He dodged most of them, sending some of his own- most which hit me.

"DAN-CHRIS UNDERSTANDS! I ACTUALLY HAVE A FAMILY! I AM NO MISTAKE!"
From all my anger, I felt this sudden cold. All I saw was…blue…and I threw an ecto-blast that didn't feel right at Vlad. His eyes widened and so did mine when I realized that it froze him.

I fell to the ground and BB caught me.
"Whoa," he yelped as his hands turned t ice, "what?"

"Explain...later…" I muttered, feeling a bit tired after that blast. I guess I do have ice powers. The ice that surrounded Vlad shattered and Vlad looked mad as ever. I bit my lip, fearing the worst. He shot a large blast at me. I didn't have time to defend it and neither did the Titans. Suddenly, Beastboy was in front of me (in Beast form) and took the hit. He yelped then turned to Vlad and growled. Vlad narrowed his eyes.
"Such childish antics, another time, after all…I have some business to take care of…"

With that, Vlad flew off. Beastboy ran to me and transformed back.
"KRIS! Are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened?"

"If anything," I scoffed, "I should be asking you that…" I looked at him with thankfulness, "thanks Beastboy… you didn't have to do that."

"Uh, yes I did. I couldn't let him hurt you…"

I winced as I held my side. BB's eyes widened. I guess I got so busy, I didn't realize that I got hit…and was bleeding. I felt the rings travel up and down my body turning me into my human form and then I blacked out.

Third Person:

Robin decided he could ask questions after Kris was healed. He thought that she wasn't a Meta, but apparently that proves untrue…or perhaps she was also a ghost. Many questions ran through his head, and at first he wanted to ask right away but glares from Raven and Beastboy when he tried told him not to.

Cyborg felt a bit a sad with Kris. He thought that Kris trusted them…does Chris know? Did her big brother know that Kris had powers? Was it even powers, or was she a ghost?

Raven was the first to know, for sure, that Kris was a ghost. However, she felt different. Her aura was a bit…off…She knew how ghosts felt, the way that Chris felt, but Kris felt a bit different. She felt alive and dead. Was this even possible?

Starfire didn't know what to think, but by looking at everyone else, she knew that she should be sad. She knew it was okay to show how sad she was. She liked Friend Kris with a K, but why did she lie?

Beastboy felt heartbroken. He felt betrayed. His girlfriend lied to them. She lied about having powers. He didn't know what had happened, where she got her powers, what they were exactly, or even if Chris knew. He felt cheated on. She didn't trust him. She didn't like him enough to tell him the truth. He felt lied to. She lied to his face about having powers, and so did Chris. He felt…guilty…He looked down at her. She was on the medical bed, unconscious. The injury to her side was worse than they thought and Cyborg could barely do anything to help. He wanted to protect her, and he thought he had. Yet, there she lay, hurt and in pain. He wanted nothing more than to hold her and tell her it was okay, but…some part of him still has hurt by her.

Robin sighed and left the room, with Raven following him. Starfire felt the need to go eat 'the pudding of sadness.' Cyborg had to go get more medical equipment. Beastboy was left alone with Kris.

He sat beside the bed and put his head in his hands. His ears were laid down flat against his head.

"I failed you…"
***

Robin and Raven gathered in the hall. Robin sighed.

"Raven, what do you have?"

She raised an eyebrow.
"She feels dead, almost like Chris, but…she also feels alive."

"Dead and Alive, how is that possible?"

Raven bit her tongue. She knew it was possible, very possible. After all, she did get that book. She did read about 'halfas'. Chris did tell her the truth, and he did tell he himself used to be a halfa. She knew that Kris was really Dani. Chris told her that Dani was a halfa. However, Raven never knew that she would see Dani/Kris 'go ghost.' She never knew that Chris would be the king either, or that Dani/Kris would be on her deathbed.

"It is possible," Raven said slowly, not wanting to lie to Robin, but not wanted to tell the truth either. Robin looked intrigued.

"Really," he said a tad shocked, "how?"

"I am not sure," Raven said a bit honestly, "but I do know that it is possible and Kris may be half dead and alive, she may also be a meta who just happens to give its effects though."
That wasn't a lie, Raven figured. Kris could be a meta, even if she wasn't. It was best to throw all possibilities out there, even if Raven knew the truth. Robin sighed, thinking through the information.
***

Cyborg walked into the medical bay to see a weeping Beastboy. He didn't really have to go get more medical equipment, but he thought that BB might need some time alone. He put a hand on Beastboy's shoulder, and BB looked at Cy.

"Don't worry, man, I'm sure she'll be okay."

"But what if she isn't? This would be all my fault…I couldn't protect her…"

"Don't beat yourself up, BB. Kris is strong, she'll make it…"

Though, Cyborg wasn't quite sure. Kris had got hit by a stray blast sent from that Vlad guy, more than once. He wasn't sure why it was so fatal. She had broken ribs, and the main concern was that the rib punctured a lung or other organ. She had a major concession. She had multiple gashes, scraps, cuts, and bruises. He sighed and went over to look at the blood work he got from her.

He put it under the microscope and noticed the green flecks in the red, along with something else. Robin and Raven came back up into the room.

"Rob, take a look."
Robin looked at the blood.

"The green and blue look out of place."

Raven sighed.
"The green is ecto-plasm, the thing ghosts are made up of," she saw Beastboy's ears prick up, "but those blue specks…I am not sure…"

Robin looked intrigued.

"Cyborg, can you separate those specks from her blood and test them?"

"Sure can do, Robin."
***

Cyborg looked at the results sadly. He walked in with a sigh. Beastboy looked up at him. Robin and Raven did too.

"Look, I don't know what it is exactly, but tests revealed that whatever the heck that stuff is…it's destroying her cells."

Robin raised an eyebrow and Beastboy's ears perked.
"What does that mean," BB asked worriedly.

Cyborg sighed and looked briefly at Kris's heart monitor.

"It means," he said slowly, "That whatever it is…it's destroying everything and weakening the immune system…and…and it's killing her."

Author Note: I usually don't do these at the end of chapters too, question: Should Dani be disabled? Not in a bad way, just look at the choices (if she lives…I am still looking at killing her off…it juices the storyline...):

-Blind in one eye?

-Wheel chair bond (only in human form)?

-Mute?

-No disability whatsoever?
