Hey people, I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in around three or four weeks, but my life has been really messed up lately, and unfortunately, it still is, so I don't actually know how long it's going to take me to update again. I'm really sorry, but keep a lookout for my other story; 'Just A Bunch Of One-Shots' and hopefully I'll be able to add some more one-shots in there until my life settles down and I can start writing this fic again.
Disclaimer: Even after all this time, I still don't own them.
Part 21: Slade's Proposition
About a week later, Sam was up in her room playing her Gibson les Paul 59 Classic guitar and listening to Metallica. When Beast Boy came and knocked on her door,
"Come in!" She called out, Beast Boy walked into her room, and as the door closed, he saw something out of the corner of his eye. He turned around and looked at the door. Half of it was covered with pictures of Robin.
"Nice collage, you got a crush on Robin your trying extremely well to keep hidden or something?" He asked Sam.
Sam, who had still been playing her guitar, stopped to answer Beast Boy's question.
"Nope, I absolutely hate Robin." She told him simply, putting her guitar away.
"Right…" Beast Boy trailed off, he looked at the collage, then back at Sam.
"Oh that? That's target practice." She said, and formed an ice spear in her hand, then threw it at the pictures; it hit one of the Robin's in the eye.
"Wow, good aim." Beast Boy said in awe,
"What are you talking about?" Sam asked,
"I missed." She said.
"Well then….where were you aiming?" Beast Boy asked nervously.
"His heart." She replied
"Anyway, what did you come here for? It obviously wasn't to talk about what I happen to do when I get pissed off at Robin." Sam asked,
"What? Oh yeah! We're all going to the park, and we want you to come..." Beast Boy told her.
"And what makes you think I'm going to come to the park with you?" Sam asked,
"Well Robin figured that since we've been so busy with school (at this Sam snorted, she hadn't actually been to school for a while) and everything, we figured we should get out and have some fun." Beast Boy said,
"That still doesn't explain why you want me to come." Sam said,
"Well if you come to the park, you'll be able to throw a football or something like that at the real Robin, not just his pictures." Beast Boy replied.
'Now there's an idea.' Sam thought,
"Alright then. I'll be down in a minute. Now if you don't mind, out of my room." Sam said, pushing Beast Boy out and closing the door behind him. She quickly changed into some black tracksuit pants and a plain purple singlet top. She then walked out of her room and down to the TV room where all the Titans were waiting for her.
"Ok then, this is gonna be fun!" Cyborg said, holding up a bag with a ball for just about every game imaginable in it.
"How long are we gonna be at the park for?" Sam asked, eyeing the bag,
"I thought it was only for an hour, but from the looks of it, Cyborg has decided we're going for a few days." Raven replied.
"I can see." Sam said.
"Come on people! Let's get going!" Cyborg yelled, and they all filed out and into the T-car with Sam riding behind them on her bike.
At the park everyone was playing a game of soccer, the teams were Beast Boy and Cyborg versus Robin and Starfire with Raven referring. Frost decided to sit it out to make the teams even and also because she hated football.
She was sitting away from the game, under a tree and writing a song. She had been sitting there for around half an hour when suddenly the shadows around her seemed to grow and get darker. Noticing the sudden change in light, Frost looked up, and saw that the Titans seemed to be farther away than they had been when she sat down.
'Well…at least, I think they are.' She thought.
"Hello there Frost." A voice said behind her, Frost whirled around, attempting to see who had spoken.
"Who's there?" She called
"Why Sam, I'm hurt, I really thought that you would know who I am. Robin seems to be my biggest fan; I'm surprised he hasn't told you about me yet." The person said Frost still couldn't see them though.
"Oh, so you're the infamous Slade are you?" Frost asked realising who it was
"Yes I am." Slade replied and stepped out from behind a tree.
"So Slade, what is it you want?" Frost asked, facing him.
"I'm here to offer you a proposition." He said,
"Isn't Robin the one you usually go to with your propositions as he's the only one who cares what you have to say?" Frost asked
"Yes, but you see I can't take this proposition to Robin, as it only applies to you…Sam." Slade replied.
"What? How the hell do you know my name?" Frost asked angrily
"I know a lot about you Sam. And that includes your past as well." Slade told Frost, she could sense the smirk in his voice.
"Oh yeah? Like what?" Frost asked defiantly, she wasn't going to be scared by this idiot, he may haunt Robin's every waking moment as well as his nightmares, but she wouldn't let him get to her.
"Like how everyone you've ever loved and trusted left you, leaving you like a hollow shell who will never become attached to or trust anyone again." Slade said
"So what? It's not that big a deal you knowing that." Frost said, not impressed, and turned away from Slade to look at the Titans, and see if they had noticed that he was there, but they were still playing their game as if nothing was going on.
"I also know what Robin is to you, and he was the last person that you ever trusted, yet he crushed you so that now you hate him. I know what he is to you Samantha, I know that he's your–"
"Don't say it!" Frost yelled,
"I know who he is, you obviously do too, so you don't need to say it aloud, you don't have to remind me even more." She said in a low voice.
"I see you're still touchy on that. But let me ask, does Robin know who you are?" Slade asked in a malicious voice, he knew fully well that Robin didn't know who Frost really was, and he was going to use this to his advantage.
When Frost didn't answer, Slade said;
"You haven't told him have you? And I'm sure you don't ever plan on telling him either."
"Shut up Slade, I don't care what you say." Frost said, trying to sound indifferent, but Slade heard the slight break in her voice, and he knew he had her right in the palm of his hand.
"Oh but I'm sure you'll care about what I have to say to Robin, especially since I'll be telling him who you really are. What do you think he's going to say when he founds out? Do you think he'll be happy to see you again? Do you think he'll like the way you turned out? You two are so different, yet so much the same." Slade said.
"Don't ever say that again. I am nothing like Robin." Frost growled,
"Oh but you are, You're both scared of anyone knowing who you really are; you're both scared of facing your past, and you're both scared to face each other. Even though Robin doesn't know who you are, he thinks about how you used to be, and he's afraid to face that part of you." Slade told her
"No Slade, you're wrong about that. I'm not afraid to face my past. And I'm not afraid to face Robin. I hate Robin, and I won't face him, it has nothing to do with fear." Frost replied.
"Really? Well then, how about I go and tell Robin exactly who you are?" Slade asked, and made a move to start walking out to the Titans.
"NO!" Frost yelled,
"Don't tell him…please. I'll do what you want, just don't tell him." She said defeated.
"There, see I knew you would see things my way. Now, what I want you to do is to come and work for me." Slade told her.
"Work for you? What would that include doing?" Frost asked
"Going on missions to steal technology for my machines, and other devices, and ultimately killing the Teen Titans." Slade told her.
"No that's the one thing you've said today that I actually like." Frost replied.
"Good, come now Samantha, I have many things to show you." Slade said, beginning to turn away,
"Who said I was coming straight away?" Frost asked
"Why wouldn't you?" Slade asked,
"Wouldn't it be just a little weird if I suddenly just up and left the Titans?"
"I'm sure they'd expect it of you." Slade replied a little testily.
"Yea, they might expect it of me, but even if I did just up and leave, they'd find it a bit weird. Give me two weeks and I'll come work for you." Frost told him.
"What do you need two weeks for?" Slade asked
"Easy, if I'm leaving the Titans, I wanna have some fun, and anyway, there's a party on in two weeks that I can get the Titans to go to, and while they're at the party, I can leave without being noticed." Frost explained.
"I hope so. Take this. I'll contact you when I need you." Slade said, throwing something at Frost who caught it and looked down at it, it was a little black and silver 'S'. Frost looked up to ask Slade what it was, but he was gone, she looked around, and saw that she was back near the Titans again.
'I have two weeks left of being a Titan. Well then, I'm gonna have some fun." Frost thought smirking.
And that was Part 21, I hope you all enjoyed it, and once again, I'm extremely sorry for the delay, and I'm even sorrier that I probably won't be updating again for a while. But don't blame me, blame it on this damn thing called life, it's always getting in the way!
And now to my wonderful reviewers! Which reminds me, thank you all so much for your support from last chapter (I know, it was a while ago) when I was getting pissed off with the flames.
Blackwingedangel70 I'm glad you think Sam is cool. I was hoping people would like her. Ahh yes the story, ok, I'm just going to finish it off as if I was really telling you it (makes it easier for me, and gives it a better effect, maybe you should go read the story and then read the end…) Well anyways, the girl raised up the two nails and said 'You wouldn't leave me alone, you wouldn't let me rest in peace, and now I'll never let you rest.' And with that, she put the two nails in the woman's eyes, and put a third one in her heart.
Now every time you go past that house you here grab, grab, scrape. 'Help me!'
Hope you liked it! Thanks for the reviews!
Xiaolinlover Hey, glad you liked the last chapter, hope you liked this one as well!
Thanks for the review!
Fjord Cannon Thanks for the support and...uhh…hitting the flamers over the head, I really appreciate it…I think. I agree, they are morons and assholes, and I still don't see why they waited around I dunno, 10 chapters before they started flaming. Woohoo! More cookies! Ok, you get muffins. Yay, I think I will use the stale loaf of bread idea. I just need to work out where…
Thanks for the review!
Robinisawesome I'm glad you liked the chapter. In what way does Pinkfire remind you of your cousin? The hyper part or the punk part? Thanks for the review!
Fuzzytoesocks Yes, a punk named Pinkfire. I'm more worried about what her mother's going to think than her friends though. I'm glad you think my story is cool. Thanks. Thanks for the review!
Terra Rock Yes, I updated! And you're probably really pissed off at me for not updating again until now. I do the same thing with just scanning through fics, I was away for a week once, I came back, and no one had updated, and I was like "what the hell?" Glad you liked the chapter. Thanks for the review!
SilverAlchemist1 I agree with you on the little kids, I really don't like them that much, they have way too much energy sometimes, and I have no idea where they get it all from. I like the 'kel' idea, it's quite funny. Haha, I see Danny is still in the dog crate, poor him…not! Ok, that's two people I know who have dogs called Sam, and I'm pretty sire one of them named their dog Sam coz of me…
And Danny, it is actually quite funny.
Oh yeah, one of my other reviewers wanted to know, Tara, is Danny your imaginary friend or something?
THEJAYMAN I'm glad it's original; I was hoping I wasn't copying anyone else. No I don't think Star's aunt will be very happy bout the make-over either. I hate those scary perfectionists. I'm not perfect, nowhere near it. And I don't want to be perfect either. Thanks for the review!
Chris/TriggerdFlame: I'm glad you liked it. I read your story, and told you what you need to fix in the review, but your story is really good, and I hope you keep it going. Thanks for the review!
Athena-Tonks42 Glad you liked the chapter. Ok, she shall find out at some point that it was BB who took the song. If you can think of anything that she can do to him coz of it, I'd greatly appreciate it! I love the quotes too. Thanks for the review!
cheerful-angel57 Yes, Sam has a Disney CD, I had to put it in, I love Disney and I figured it'd be funny to have Sam own one. Yes, I can't wait for the Greenday MCR concert! Yep, the song stealing is going to cause HEAPS of trouble, just need to work out what trouble that is. Any ideas? Yeah, I didn't know the guard's names either. I just found them on the net. How'd you go in your tests? Mine are coming up in a few weeks, damn things. School is driving me nuts too.
ShockTreatment Cool, glad you can review, couldn't you do it anonymously before you got an account name? I was able to. If there's anything that needs work, please let me know what, coz I want this story to be really good, and all help is appreciated. I'm happy Sam makes you laugh, I was hoping I'd be able to make people laugh. You have those damn voices too? Welcome to the club! Lol. Thanks for the review!
Aquagirl123: I went to first person at the end of chapter two? Oops, wasn't supposed to do that, I'll have to fix it up, thanks! I'm glad you thinks it's decently written. Yeah, a lot of people seem to hate my story, and I agree, Sam did seem like the perfect character at first, but I'm trying to change that, and at some point I'm going to go back to the first chapters and make Sam less perfect. I'm doing that, Sam's going to have two main powers, but she uses them separately, but at some point, she's going to stop using all her powers except one, and then use the others rarely. I'm glad you liked the rest of the story though. No, I don't have IM, but I do have MSN. I wouldn't mind talking to you either. Thanks for the review!
Xerxes93 Well I'm glad someone agrees with me. How's your friend going with the Wiccan training? Morbid, I've heard of that, but never really heard of anyone who is morbid, what's that like? I've never seen Danny Phantom, so I have no idea who Sam is, but I'm glad I wasn't talking about her if she sucks. Thanks for the review!
VampireFaerie Hey, yeah, I know that my character's kind of a cliché, but I'm trying to change that, and at some point I'm going to go back and change a few things to make it less of a cliché. Hehe, I love Aqualad too, he's the best! You know I actually don't know who Danny is, but I have asked, and hopefully I'll find out soon. Let me know when you get your fanfic up, I'd love to read it. Yay! Someone else who loves Disturbed! I agree with the flamer idea, now if I could only find out who the hell they were...(damn flamers are too scared to have a signed review/flame). Wow, you're addicted to my fic? Cool! I think I will be going on forever with this thing, I've got around five future chapters written up already, it's just the chapters in between that I'm having trouble with, so if you have any ideas, I'd love to here them! Yes, Hooray for Aqualad! Thanks for the reviews!
And that's that. Ok, I really can't be bothered to write up quotes from one of my fave movies today, so I'm just going to put some of my fave TT quotes here since they're already written and saved. Enjoy!

Cyborg: You're the nasty egg people that stole all my waffles! ;;
Robin: Is all this gonna help us fight crime?
Cyborg: Uhh... yeah;

Cyborg: Hey! I know where we are. We're in the place where I didn't know where we were before.
-Nevermore
