Disclaimer: As you all probably know, I don't own the teen titans! But I do own my OC's.
Previously:
"Azarath, metrion, Zinthos" She said in a clear voice. "Azarath, metrion, Zinthos" She repeated and felt how the world around her disappeared. "Azarath, metrion, Zinthos"
She had never felt as relieved and calm in all her life. All of the troubles in her life, worrying about her dreams, the titan's figuring out she worked for Slade⦠they all seemed to be non existent.
But suddenly, and unfortunately, she was abruptly brought back to reality by a loud voice.
"It's Slade!"
Kiara's eyes snapped open and her violet orbs stared at the people in front of her; her mother and Nightwing, the later with a big rip on his spandex covered arm, and you could see a weak red mark going across his visible skin.
"What's going on?" She asked in a demanding voice and her mother looked at her daughter, then Nightwing, and back again.
"Slade's been detected in the east part of town, he's breaking in to a top security science lab" Nightwing answered. "Come on Raven, Starfire and Changeling has already flown ahead, we have to go"
"I'm coming with you" Kiara said and got of her bed.
"No, you're not" Raven answered. "You left Slade to come and stay with us, he won't think twice before attacking you if you come with us"
"But you're completely satisfied if I stay behind all alone?" Kiara questioned. "What if Slade sends someone here, if you ask me, I'm safer if I'm with you guys"
"You won't be alone" Nightwing said. "Blaze and Sunfire will be here too, there's no way I'm going to let them be almost face to face with Slade"
"Nightwing's right" Raven said, staring her daughter down. "It's too dangerous, just stay here, and if anything happens, you can use your powers and get to the safety room"
"There's a safety room?" Kiara asked, but Raven and Nightwing were already out through the door. "Wait!" She called and ran out of her room, and after them.
But with her mother flying, and Nightwing with his fast legs and quick movements, plus both their knowledge of every turn in the tower, Kiara lost them.
She froze in her tracks and let out a frustrated sigh.
"Kiara, there you are!" A voice said from behind her and it didn't take long before Sunfire was soaring by her side. "Come on, let's get to the main room, Blaze's waiting there!" And before Kiara could say a thing, the younger girl had grabbed her wrist and dragged her through the halls of the tower.
-----
The doors to the main room opened as the two girl approached them, in full speed, and before Kiara knew it, Sunfire had finally stopped flying, and she found her self standing by the kitchen counter.
A few feet in front of her, not far away from the couch, Blaze was pacing back and forward. And for the second time in half a day, she saw him shirtless. It was obvious that his training session must have been interrupted by the Slade thing. There was still some sweat on his forehead, and the black fighter gloves, which seemed to be made out of fine leather, were still on his hands.
"What's going on?" Kiara finally managed to ask and Blaze stopped in his tracks.
"What's going on?" He repeated. "I'll tell you what's going on! I accidentally hit dad with a starbolt and-"
"You actually fired starbolts against dad?" Sunfire asked, interrupting her brother.
"I didn't mean to, okay?" He snapped back, probably sounding angrier then intended. "And the next thing I know, Cyborg comes barging in, saying that Slade's been spotted and my dad won't even consider letting me come along, not even when you've returned! I mean, the reason he was so worried was because he didn't want me to be kidnapped too!"
"They wouldn't let me go either" Kiara muttered.
And right then, Nightwing's face appeared on the TV.
"Kids" He began and they could clearly see that there was a battle going on in the background. "There are robots everywhere, but no sign of Slade yet, he might be heading for the tower. Blaze, get your sister and Kiara to the safety room and make sure nothing happens to them, or you, understand?"
His face disappeared for a second, and then the sound of metal breaking and electrics crashing reached the three's ears. As Nightwing appeared on the screen again, his masked eyes searched for Blaze.
"You're in charge" The hero finished and then the screen went black.
"You heard him" Blaze said.
"I didn't know you had a safety room" Kiara said to Blaze as he began to take of the fighter gloves.
"We do," Sunfire answered in her brother's place. "No one can get in, not even with powerful dark magic, unless it's a dark magic your mother doesn't know about, but I doubt there is one"
"Which is why it's the safest place for you to be" Blaze finished and Sunfire raised a brow.
"Don't you mean the safest place for us to be, my dear, obedient brother" She said, using a very forcing tone on the last part.
"Yeah, right" Blaze replied, with an innocent chuckle to it. "Sunny, show Kiara to the safety room, I'll be right there as soon as I've grabbed a shirt"
-----
The safety room turned out to be much different from what Kiara had imagined. The walls were giving out a faint blue glow, probably from some sort of everlasting spell, and together with the white lamps in the ceiling they provided the room with light.
The floor was made of metal, probably titanium, or some sort of specially created metal that didn't break easily. And as Kiara sat down on it, resting her hands against the cold surface, she could stare down at her own reflection.
Sunfire sat down close to her, and just simply looked at the door, while tugging at the collar of her pink shirt.
After a couple of minutes, Kiara thought it would be a good time to try and do some meditation. She crossed her legs under her and placed her hands on her knees. Before she closed her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Sunfire as the red head hastily looked to see what had caused the movement.
"Azarath, metrion, Zinthos" Her voice was calm as she spoke quietly. The only sounds she could hear was the buzzing from the lamps, Sunfire's breathing, and the beats of her own heart. But soon, they all seemed to fade away.
"Azarath, metrion, Zinthos"
She felt peaceful again. She felt comfort in the silence and in the darkness; it felt like nothing could bring her back to all the troubles in her life. She loved it.
"Kiara" A voice said, slowly taking Kiara back to the real world. She opened one eye to meet Sunfire's blue orbs.
"What is it?" Kiara asked, closing her eye again and taking a deep breath.
"Blaze" Sunfire answered. "He should be back by now, it's not so far between his room and this one"
Kiara opened her eyes and looked at the younger girl. "I'm sure he's fine" She said.
"Guess you're right" Sunfire answered. "I bet he just can't find a sweater, since most of his clothes are in the laundry"
"Yeah, and even if that isn't the case, what could he possibly have done? Sneaked out after the adults?" Kiara asked sarcastically, and then quickly remembered something. Sneaking out after he adults was exactly what Blaze had done the night they first met!
Sunfire seemed to have made the same realization, being Blaze little sister and all, and the two of them quickly rushed to their feet.
"You fly faster then I run" Kiara said. "So you can check his room and then meet me in the garage, with any luck he hasn't left just yet"
-----
Blaze parked the motorcycle as soon as he began to hear the sounds of a battle going on. After making sure his dad's brand new bike was locked, the tamaranian half breed began to run down the street.
He was thankful that his dad didn't use his new bike until it had been equipped with the latest gadgets, it was way faster then his old N-cycle, and Blaze needed to move fast.
He guessed it wouldn't be long until Kiara and Sunfire realized he was gone. After all, Sunfire was his sister, and she knew very well that he used to sneak out sometimes, and leave her with Archie and Warren. And Kiara was probably as clever as Raven, which meant she too would put two and two together.
At that exact moment, a huge robot came flying through the air from far a head of him, sparks flying, and Blaze's feet scraped in the ground, dust flying, as he stopped and quickly avoided being hit by the huge metal creature by throwing himself to the side.
His body hit the dirty asphalt and he rolled further to the left as the robot landed by his side. Breathing out, he got up on his knees and looked at the smoking robot by his side. He couldn't really make out which of the titans that had hit it, perhaps it was more then one, but whoever did it, the robot had been hit very hard.
After getting up on his feet, he held up his hand and looked at his elbow, a wound had appeared, and he quietly cursed.
'One more for raven to heal'He then thought to himself.
He made his way pass the robot and walked with fast steps down the street. The battle was getting closer; he could clearly hear the sounds of it, Robot's trashing, weapons being fired, and then the most terrifying sound of all, a painful scream, his mother's painful scream!
Fist immediately clenching, Blaze was just about to run down the street when ha heard something behind him. He quickly turned around and his fist began to glow green. A dozen robot minions in the colours of black, orange, and some metal, were aiming there guns for right arms against him and his eyes widened.
He quickly fired as many starbolts as he could against them, hitting most of them, but not all. They began to fire white beams at him and he avoided them by ducking and then throwing him self at the ground again.
Well on the ground, he took the opportunity to fire starbolts at the minions' legs, making them collapse on the ground; there were only two of them left now.
He jumped up to his feet, preformed a flip and kicked the robot closest to him in the chest, his foot buckling the metal enough to cause an inner explosion. And once he'd landed he quickly fired one starbolt from each hand at the last minion.
His heart was beating quite fast as he looked around to see if anyone of them was still alive, able to attack him, but they all lay on the ground, smoke rising from their forms, and a few sparks lightening up the scene.
He turned around and was just about the leave when someone hastily gripped his shoulder. His fast reflexes reacted before he had time to think and he turned around, gripping his attackers arm and he was ready to twist it around until he saw who it was.
"Kiara?" He asked and quickly let go of her arm, only to be slapped in the face. He moved a hand to the place on his cheek where her hand had hit him and looked at her shocked. "What the-?" He got out.
"Blaze!" Another familiar voice said and Sunfire came flying up to them. She wrapped her arms around her brother's neck, which was only possible for her to do as long as she stayed hovering over the ground.
"What in the world were you thinking?" Kiara asked in an angry tone. "Sneaking out like that!" Sunfire let go of her brother and flew backwards a little bit and then landed next to Kiara.
"Yeah, you made me worried when you didn't come back!" She said, staring her brother down. "For a moment I thought that Slade had gotten to you!"
"You both know I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself" Blaze answered, still surprised to see them standing in front of him. "How did you get here anyway?" He asked.
"We used your dad's old R-cycle" Kiara answered. "It was standing in a corner of the garage"
"Then when we got here we saw dad's new bike, so we parked next to it and went looking for you" Sunfire finished. "And I still can't believe you disobeyed dad like that!"
"Look, I told him I would make sure nothing bad happened to you, and I did, right?" Blaze answered.
"You also told him you would make sure nothing bad happened to you either" Kiara pointed out. "And that wound tells me you're not exactly fine" She pointed at Blaze's elbow.
"That's nothing" He replied. "And like I said, I can take care of myself; you guys didn't have to come"
"My god! Listen, I want to fight against Slade too. But if our parents say things are too dangerous, maybe we should trust them! Or do you just want my mom to get mad and tell your dad about that extremely awkward situation earlier?" Kiara asked with a loud voice, and then there was a small gasp coming from Sunfire.
"What extremely awkward situation?" A stern voice asked and Blaze saw Kiara's eyes widen. Praying that the voice didn't belong to the one he feared it belonged to, although he already was sure it did, he turned around, biting his bottom lip.
"Hi dad" He quietly said, and Nightwing raised a brow at his son, as did the other four titans standing behind him.
Hope you all liked this chapter!
I'm beginning to wonder if Sunfire sounds like a normal eleven year old should... then again, she's Starfire and Nightwing's daughter, which menas super cheery and super observant at times, plus she grew up with superheroes everywhere, so maybe that's how she's supposed to sound.
