Chapter ???
Robin shifted in his sleep, his mind still in a haze. He could barely remember what had happened....his arm and neck hurt a little but that was all....but...then why did he have this 'memory..' hearing moevment,.....Sam kissing him on teh cheek genlty whispering 'goodbye'.......but wasn't it a dream?
He reached overunconciously to touch her hand (there beds still pushed together) but he touched air. Robin's eyes shot open as he turned over, SAm was gone!!! He looked around the room, surely she was here! WHere else could seh have gone?! But that kiss....it HADN'T been a dream! Sam WAS gone!! Robin rolled off the bed, running out the door and bursting into the main room. HOping to see Slade 'training' Sam. But all that was there was Slade. Sitting in a chair, reading.
Robin grew angry adn frantic," WHere is she?!?!" he demanded
Slade, his vioce as stone as ever, "And who, pray tell, are you talking about?"
"I'm NOT in the mood SLade! Tell me where she is now!!!"
The villain glanced over at him, unfazed by his attitude, "Isn't is ovbious? She left."
"Left?! Where did seh go?!"
"How would I know?" SLade set teh book aside for a sec and glanced over at teh angered teen with a bit of humor, "It's amazing isn't it? We only desire something and realize how much you need something when we realize you've lost it. Like Now for example, only now do you realize when your friend's gone." he peered at Robin out of the corner of his eye to see his face adn was satisfied by his fustration, then continued, "You're friend left to take care of Toby. To Protect you."
"But, she's hurt! She's not strong enough, seh could be killed!"
"Why are you telling me this?
"YOU were the one who supposingly helped us-"
"Whether anything I did made an indent on her talent isn't up to me. It depends on her. And, quite frankly, I'm growing bored with this. If you want to save her then go." raises his head, "I suppose loosinga teammate would sting a little, but this would be MORE then that, wouldn't it Robin?"
"What do you mean?!" Robin didn't really want to deal with Slades game right now, but something pushed him
"don't play stupid, I've seen the way you look at her, that pathetic puppy dop look, even someone with a IQ of 5 could figure it out." he paused for dramaticness, "You've become infatuated with the Daughter of your old Teacher."
Robin tried to scoff, but his mouth was frozen, in his heart, he could feel the truth behind Slades words. Robin had always felt something towards SAm, something differnt then what he had felt towards his friends....could Slade be right? Whether he was or not, none of it would matter if Sam was gone. Without another word, the hero turned and ran from his enemy.
He had to know himself
--------------------------
Ryan had to drop everything, his mission, his seat. AS much as he loved his sister, finding her had to be put off. So, no longer in his hero costume, he sat at Gotham Mercy Hospital. Where his father now laid, just at the door Ryan had been staring at.
The doctors had said that it was techinial difficulties, or wiring problems that had caused his fathers injuries. But Ryan knew better. The man he had been hunting had been here, Volturm: aka Toby.
He shivered in anger, how had this happened? He should of been there to help.......but then again, he would of probably been in a hospital bed right next to his father.....
Alfred came out of the hospital room his face emotionless. Scared, Ryan ran up to him, "well?""
"He's lost alot of blood, but his lifes not in any danger. They think he'll be fine."
Ryan sighed with relief, going back to his chair, his relief was only short lived though as teh situatino came back to him. His sister adn adopted brother still missing, a psycho on the loose.......his father injured. He ran his fingers through his hair, before, when he first became Kage he had made mistakes...but they seemed belittle in light of the situation. A beepeing sound came from his side made him jump. Luckily it was onjy the cellphone, but eth caller Id was unknown, "Hello?"
"Ryan?! THat you?!" the voice broke through, despite teh static adn franitcness, Ryan recognized the voice immediately,
"Robin-Tim?! ARe you ok?! Where are you at? Is Sam with you?"
"No, I think seh went to take on Voltrum."
"Alone?!"
"Yeah, I"M going to join her, but tell Bruce to hury down here, we might need help. Bye."
Before Ryan could stop him, Robin was gone, and the situation was even darker.
Alfred regarded him with a sympathetic eye, "If you left now, you'd be able to make it to Jump City in 5 hours, half a hour if you use the jet.'
The boy looked up at him with surprise in his eyes, "But, what about Dad-"
"I"ll watch over him, He would never forgive either of us if we just watied by for him."
Ryan broke intoa smile, then ran down the hallway, ready for battle."
=-------=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Meanwhile
Sam had to admit, thanks to the 'training' she had gotten (aka meangingless attacking) had kept her light on her feet.
Unfortunately, Voltrum was still angry.
She foundher self just standing on her tiptoes to dodge teh black lightning shot at her, he leapt after her, his face twisted with madness and rage. It seemed unlikely that this being used to be her only friend, but Sam pushed it out of her mind leaping to the side adn behind a fallen pillar. She heard Volturm land too, looking around, "Come out luv! Do I play to rough for you!?" but SAm (being smarter then the average fool) kept quite. In Her mind, she rolled over ideas, trying to come up with a plan. But each plan she thought of seemed to end with her dead. Sam closed her eyes, trying to focus....there had to be someway.....
Suddenly the pillar she was hidnig behind exploded, the force sending her flying backward adn teh dangerous shrapnal sliced her arms adn legs. Sam crossed her arms over her face as a defense but another explosion sent her into teh wall, her head smacked against it adn seh fell on her hadns adn knees. Sam could feel with warm blood run down her neck...her vision (behind cracked glasses) was fuzzy adn blurred. RAising her head weakly, dangerous pieces of shrapnal became the result. Several slicing SAm's arms and legs, a stabbign pain shot through her left leg. Voltrum was walking towards her, his shirtless body crackling wthi the dangerous energy, "I win little Sammy-"
Something shot through teh air, slicing Votrums arm, his face turned surprised as he fell forward, "What the-"
Robin leapt down from the ceiling, his staff extened, a expression of rage (so severe adn unseen by Sam befre) adn roared," GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY GIRL!!" teh staff slammed dwon adn caught Voltrum in teh skull. Teh villain stumbed just long enough for Robin to leap around him adn hook the staff around his neck, "Kage now!"
The black clothed ninja leapt down, two sai weapons in his hand, "Hey baby sis!"he quickly called to Sam, then leapt forward to take advantage of Votlrums immobility. But the lightning charged boy had other plans, sadi the look in his brown eyes, adn before Sam could warn them, he let out a huge wave of power, striking the boys adn causing them to go flying back. But Kage adn Robin were back on their feet in seconds. Teh Boy wonder turned to teh Ninja, "Go check on Sam, while I take care of Voltrum."
Nodding, Kage ran over to SAm, who sat against the wall, looking over her body for damage, her arms and legs were bleeding, the injury on her leg bleed profusely but didn't look too serious. Her eyes distant. He knelt by her, "Sam! ARe you ok? " when seh didn't respond he shook her, "Sam!"
She snapped otu of it, looking at him as though seh just realized he was there, "Ry-Ryan? Why are you here?! HE'll kill you-"
"Yeah, well, your Ex was a botu to killl YOU if we hadnt gotten here."
"W-We..." Sam looked over. And it was true, Robin was fighting Voltrum! At first it looked like Robin was winning but SAm knew that wouldnt' last...
Why were they here? Why would they want to help? She had done nothing but brought them pain... all this was her fault.....the feeling made her stomach turn uneasily. If she hadn't been born....things would be different....her mother would still be alive and her family happy cause of it. Robin wouldn't have to worry about her....and Toby wouldn't have changed. Sam raised her head a little watching Voltrum. But did it matter with the what ifs? She WAS alive, so that meant she had a purpose. ANd that meant nothing she could of done could of prevented this. And no matter how hard seh looked at him, Sam couldn't see Toby anymore..atleast not in his being...seh couldn't see seh kind person who had helped her control her powers...who had given her hope....She squeezed her fists angrily as her vision came back clear....the Toby she knew was dead....
Voltrum brought his hand around adn shot Robin in teh ribs, wiht a cry, her friend flew back into the wall with a crack. Robin lifted himslef up with one of his elbows, the other wrapped around his chest. Teh enemy started walking over to him...ready to end it.
The one perosn Sam had deep feelings for was trying to defend her...she wouldn't let him down...ignoring Kage and the pain, she climbed to her feet, "VOLTRUM!!" seh barked so loud that Votlrum stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at her, sneering once again
"Still alive Luv?"
"Yes." she no longer felt doubtful, "Leave them alone, it's me youwant to finish. ME your angry at."
"How noble, did you crack you head open against teh wall or are you wanting a death wish?" when seh didn't respond, he raised let his lightning bounce down his arms, "Very well. I accept!" and wthi that he shot a huge black lightning bolt at SAm. but She didn't move seh slowly raised her own of it comming from her self, teh clouds roared above adn shot down on her, fusign wither her own. Her blue lightning twisted around her body adn shot out to meet Voltrums in teh middle.
Teh collision of the two sent out a deafening crack. They pushed against each other, afew strand escaped and tore teh area around it. But Neither of them flinced, they pushed forward trying to break through but neither worked. Out of the conrer of her eye, she saw Kage get to Robin's side , it looked like Robin was ok for now.
Voltrum sent another surge towards Sam, her feet slid back a little but she stod her ground. She could feel the scars on her arms reopen but gave no heed. Squeezing her eyes shut seh grabbed her end of teh lightning and concentrated through it. In teh middle (where teh seperate energies met) the blue caught a hold of the black. Volturm, shocked, tried to pull away but Sam held on, then finally threw Voltrum (lightning adn all) crashing itno the opposite end of teh building. Tearinga path of destruction in it's wake beofre the deafening crash adn silence. Sam waited for another attack but none came. Climbing over teh rubble (despite her brothers calls) she made ehr way to tthe other end. Her leg slowed her down a little but seh kept on. Finally she saw him, Voltrum laid ,his body covered with cuts and blood, "WEll." he started, his voice tinged with weakness but strong, "What are you waiting for? You won. 'Take my head and steal my wealth'" he chuckled weakly adn coldly at his own joke, "As I tried to do wiht you."
Sam just looked at him, seh had wanted to make sure that he was immobilized. ANd now, seh just felt pityfull at teh sight of him. She turned her back to him, adn walked a few steps away before the world around ehr went black
Sam felt teh world come back to her, at first fuzzy, then even fuzzier, due to teh fact her glases were off. She felt tightly bound bandages on her body and a needle in her arm. Sitting up, seh immediately recognized the room as teh Teen Titans medical room! Her clothes were teh same adn ,judging by teh setting sun, she had been out for a while. Sam was about to swing off teh table when a familiar voice spoke, "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
She turned to see Slade come out of the shadows but found herself unsurprised, "The Titans know you're here?"
"No. I just wanted to see hwo many of you would be killed against Voltrum, but dang it, looks like you all survived."
"You sound a little disapointed."
"Hm, not really after all. No Titans means I have no one to test myself against." Slade crossed his arms, "So you didn't use the RAge FActor?"
"....No."
, "You do know that eventually the RAge Factor in your head will take over as it adapts with you...and when that happens you wont be able to control your lust for the fight or blood."
"I know." she looked at him firmly, "If there was a way to put it in there, there must be a way to get it out."
The look of amusement in his eye was unmistaken, "Very well stupid girl. I must take my leave," he turned to go but paused, "Next time we meet there will be nothing that prevents me from killing you."
"Sorta figured. So you're not going to tell me how you know my mom?" But he was already gone, she smirked a little, "Figures." shakily she let herself down onto her feet, her leg stung but held. And made her way to the living room. It was as she expected, BB and Cy were playing video games, Star was cultivating her fungus garden, Raven was reading adn Robin was standing at the window, a white bandage covered his ribs.
It was Beast Boy who first noticed her and in a second Cyborg, StarFire and Beast Boy were all overher, hugging her tightly adn patting her on the back.
"Your'e alive!"
"You're brains intact!"
"OH thank the Blortheans your ectoplasm has not escaped you flesh adn blood!"
Then again, it was the welcome she expected. (except she didnt' know what a Blorthean was).
Robin smiled at the sight of the reunion. It was good to be vack (good to eat something besides Beef Jerky). And it made his stomach tingle at the sight of Sam smiling. She was happy again.
Was it right, to ruin this happy moment, with his selfish feelings? Shouldn't he just leave her as she was now? And ignore his feelings-
A sudden stab in the arm made him turn around, Raven (lowering her elbow) "Go on. Nows the best time if ever."
He gave her a look of surprise before nodding. He hurried over to the little group, "Hey uh, Sam?"
"Huh?" she looked," yeah?"
"Can we talk?"
She smiled in her normal way, "Yea sure."
And with that he lead her out into the hallway. Turning to face her he felt his heartbeat double, a nervous sweat across his brow. (maybe he'd rather go fight Voltrum in Jail before he'd do this) "Look it's just.....I've been feeling odd and I think it's....."his words felt like they were falling over each other, unable to make proper sentences.
"Yeah?"
This WAS a bad idea, she was the daughter of his mentor...AND the sister of his adoptee brother....this was REALLy a bad idea, "Never mind...have fun." feeling defeated he turned to go..
"Wait!" she caught his arm.
As he turned tosee what she wanted. He was surprised to suddenly feel hers soft lips against his, it took a little bit to realize what had happened but by then Sam had pulled away, smilling cheerfully, "Is that waht you wanted to ask?"
"uh...in a physical form yes."
"Great! I accept!"
Waht just happened?, "oh...wow."
