Author's Note: To me, writing should be fun. You should stop when it's starting to be a chore to write. I just don't know why it's getting harder and harder to write this story for me. Hopefully it's just because it's coming to an end and I'm just nervous about how to end it!

Chapter 21: The Stupidest Genius
Krista's Point of View

"Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always had to be"
- Demi Lovato, Let it Go

I start to scream as the sand and rocks are thrown about. My normally well-protecting racing goggles are starting to crack, from either the pressure or the pieces of Earth being thrown.

I try to stop the winds but I only push them away, something that had never happened to me before. As the sandstorm moves further away from me, I fall back down to the ground and I'm half-buried into the sand. I move my hands up to cover my head and I can feel the sand tangled within my messy hair, as I had forgotten my helmet back at the hospital. The loud thunder stops as I presume that the stormy brothers had noticed me deserted in the desert sand. Lightning speaks first, as I can tell by his higher-pitched voice.

Krista? What happened, are you okay?

I don't want them around, I just want to be left alone. I can't think straight and I probably started something that can't be stopped. I scream at them, trying to hold back the tears that are trying to escape.

Go! Leave me alone!

What I hear next isn't footsteps or a voice, but a horn sounding. I thought about looking up, but then I hear the voices.

Their voices.

Jinx's Point of View

I wake up blindfolded, having no clue of where I am or how I got here. So, I start off by thinking back to the first thing I remember.

Kyd and I were sitting on the curb, taking a break from Gizmo working on See-More's lens. Let's just say, although he's a boy genius, he couldn't, somehow, create a way to fix glass any faster. I mean, he probably did, but he's the stupidest genius ever for not using it.

So, we decided to take a break (I don't know why, though. we weren't actually doing anything) and go outside. We didn't talk or anything, but we just sat on the curb for a while. Then, this strange van pulled up. Against my (actually, Kyd's) better judgment, I went to talk to the driver to see why was he here.

He didn't reply, and the last thing I remember from that is a couple of people coming from the back of the truck and struck Kyd hard before they did the same to myself.

I left my hands to the blindfold and remove it, regretting it soon after. The room, at first, looks normal, but a second look reveals that it is not.

Three of the walls are mostly bare, but the fourth is covered in a colorful display of levers and buttons and in the center lays a small display screen.

To my direct left is Kyd, who is not yet awake but a good few shakes by yours truly slowly awakened him. That's when I really noticed that our wrists and ankles where cuffed, and chained to the wall behind us, to the right of the door.

That's also when I notice something weird in front of us.

Well, at first sight, it appears to be a yellow tube. But then, after you get a good look at it, it isn't just a yellow tube. It's some sort of container. After seeing what's in it, I am just hoping it's a good thing.

Krista's Point of View

I keep my eyes tightly shut, not wanting to face it. Even when I'm picked up and asked a million questions, my mouth is as shut as my eyes are. I don't even realize what's going on until someone hugs me. I remember her hugs, as light as they were, they were still full of love and joy. Terra then releases me and, seeing my eyes, takes my hand and guides me. I feel a change in environment, and I'm quickly confused. Then, my sister tells me that we're now in Titans Tower, as some Titan named Herald transports with his horn.

I'm told by her that we're going to the healing room, to see if I'm alright. I'm told on the way that Thunder and Lightning left, before the Titans got there, but not quick enough, so the Titans knew they were there.

I sit on a bed, and I take off my goggles, feeling the rims, since the lenses are long gone.

You know, Krista, you can open your eyes.

I know, it's just that I don't want to. I'm scared.

Of what?

Myself.

Oh, come on. Just open them. You'll be fine.

I don't get her reasoning, but she's right. Why am I afraid of myself? It's really not that complicated. You'd also be scared if you're capable of something extremely powerful and dangerous. I mean, how could this ever be of good use?

I decide in favor of my sister, for whatever reason. I slowly open my eyes, and I smile, laughing out a response.

Hey, can you turn the lights on? I can't see a thing, and I don't see how you can, either.

Don't be silly, the lights are on.

Realizing my fate, I slowly lay down on the bed on my side, my eyes open.

Krista... You're- you're going to be fine.

I can hear the sadness in her voice. She exits the room soon later, probably going to get the cyborg to do some tests on me. I know Terra knows how to use the machines in this particular room, as she'd always been fond of hospitals. She always told me that she wanted to become a doctor, but I guess because of her powers, that was put on hold. I just guess that she couldn't stand the fact that me, her only sister, whom she grew up with and loved my whole life, could ever become blind.
