Chapter 11

(Cat's P.O.V.)

A day had passed and all I had done was train with the titans to get ready for my mission. I had sparred with Robin, practiced my delflection with Starfire, meditated with Raven, even tried to fight off Beastboy, but it was noting compared to the fight I was about to walk into with Cyborg.

"Cat are you ready for this?" Robin asked giving me a drink of water, and patting my back.

"As I will ever be," I said as I rose from my seat and walked into the training room. There I found Cyborg standing in the center of the room with the rest of the team scattered around the room. I stood across from Cyborg and looked at him. He looked about as ready to do this as I was.

"Are you both ready?" Robin asked.

Me and Cyborg both nodded, and then we began to spar. As I expanded he contracted we moved in sync. We were like a well oiled machine. Then it stopped when I landed a kick on his chest. He grabbed my foot and threw me to the ground. I slid on the floor to the wall closest to Beastboy with a bang. I got up quickly and used my powers to throw Cyborg to the wall. I was concentrating hard until Cyborg shot at me breaking my concentration. My stuff on the walls began to shake.

"Lovers quarrel. Someone's getting angry," Beastboy said with a crooked smile.

I felt this weird sensation sweep over me and the room got very hot and bright for a second. It was fire that was coming from my hands. I hit Cyborg, and nearly took out Beastboy. I froze and hit the floor hoping that if I could pull myself together I would stop what I was doing. I couldn't hurt anyone else ever atleast not anyone that I cared about. Someone came over to me and had there hand on my shoulder.

"Cat are you ok?" Cyborg asked.

"No you need to leave before I hurt any of you. I can't hurt anyone esle," I said as I lifted my hand as if to point at them then put it back down worried that I would burn them. When none of them were moving I began to move them out of my room with my powers one by one with just my mind.

"Cat please you won't hurt me I know you won't," Cyborg said pleading with me as I slid the door shut behind him and then locked myself in. I shrank down to normal size and sat in the middle of room crying.

It was silent until I heard footsteps coming towards me until there was a shadow cast over me. I turned around expecting to see Cyborg, or any of the other titans, but instead standing there was Slade. I was up immediately and went back to human size. I stood in a fighting stance ready to stirke Slade.

"No need for that Cat," Slade said touching the side of my face, which made me try to kick at him which he blocked easily. "Not bad, but you can do better," Slade said taunting me. I punched and kicked at him but he kept deflecting my blows. He laughed as he threw me against the wall holding me there. I moved my hand trying to move away from him but the only thing I could do was burn him. He didn't scream but he released me and took a step back. "You see Cat you and your sister have one major flaw in common you both have tremendous power that you can't control, and that is why I am here to help you gain control of your fire," Slade said as my flames engulfed him and he disappeared from my sight. I was surrounded by the flames, and the heat. I heard the click of my door unlocking, then the door sliding open as I was crying trying to protect myself from Slade.

"Cat!" Cyborg yelled as he came to the edge of the circle of fire. When I didn't move he moved towards me through the flames, and came over to me. He wrapped his arms around my and began to pet the top of my head. I leaned into him, and just closed my eyes, just trying to breathe. "Shhhhh It's ok Cat. Everything is going to be ok Cat. I am here now and I am not going anywhere," Cyborg said pulling me close to him.

I nodded because I didn't trust myself to speak to him right now. I wanted to tell him everything that had just happened and the thing that had me so shaken up, but I couldn't tell him anything I have to do what I have to do nothing is going to change my fate...not even love. Cyborg got up and hauled me up with him. I was barely concious of what was going on. He held me bridal style, and carried me over to the couch and layed me down to go to sleep. I could see that the moon was rising and I was exhausted. I looked over at Cyborg who was sitting by the couch and was looking at me for a minute then he got up and went to the door turning the light off. He was sliding the door open slowly to leave.

"Stay," I muttered quietly.

"You want me to stay with you?" Cyborg asked me.

"Don't leave me Cy," I said.

"Cat I told you I am not going anywhere," He said shutting the door slowly. Then he crossed the room and took his spot back next to the couch. He took one of my hands in his, and began to play with my hair lazily. "Get some sleep Cat. You have a big day tomorrow," Cyborg said kissing my forehead, then my lips gently.

He was right I did have a big day ahead of me tomorrow. In the morning my mission would begin.

I drifted off to sleep holding Cyborg's hand. I just hoped I wouldn't see Slade again tonight. I was just trying to hold on to Cyborg hoping he could keep all the bad nightmares away.
