Chapter Two: first day of Training

Disclaimer: I do not own the teen titans, But I own Jade,

Slade took Jade to the training room the next day, this was the first time Jade have ever seen it, she looked around,

"the only way to get you stronger is to challenge yourself" said Slade, "and to do that, you must go over your normal limits"

"what, the heck, are you talking about, said Jade twirling her finger through her jet black hair,

"Do you see that bench set over there?" said Slade pointing

"Uh-huh" said Jade continuing to twirl her finger through her hair,

"on it, currently is fifty pounds, I want you to try and lift it" said Slade,

"are you nuts?" said Jade "I can't lift that!"

"even if you can't lift it, you can try" said Slade harshly

"try and kill myself?" said Jade folding her arms,

"even if you can't lift it, trying hard enough will make you stronger, until you can lift it, and we are not moving on until you can" said Slade

"you know what, I'm just gonna say that I take back what I said yesterday" said Jade, she turned around and began leaving,

"So" said Slade "you want to be weak and helpless, for the rest of your life, you want to constantly be tired and exhausted? Is that what you want?"

"you don't know one thing about me!" said Jade, "I am too weak, to do ANYTHING"

"actually, young Jade" said Slade, "I know more about you than you think, you could even say I know more about you than you do"

"what are you talking about!?" yelled Jade

"you will find out, that is, if you let me help you" said Slade

"I'm not sure if I can trust you" said Jade

"you should" said Slade "because I am trustworthy" he turned out and extended him arm, his hand was in a fist, he opened it and inside it was Jade's blue diamond hairclips, she looked up at him and blinked once, she thought she had dropped these, she frowned,

"you promise you can make me stronger" she said

"I promise" said Slade, Jade looked down at her hairclips, she put her hand out and Slade dropped them into it, she put them in her pocket and said

"fine, I'll try and endure this training of yours, but next time I say I give up, I give up" she said

"you wont say it, trust me Jade" thought Slade, he turned around walked over to the bench set, Jade following him, she laid down on the bench

"I am totally going to kill myself" she thought, as she reached up and grabbed the bar, she pushed it up with all her might and it slid off, her elbows came slamming down onto the bench, adrenaline was the only thing keeping her from dropping it, she clenched her teeth and closed her eyes,

"help!" she said "I can't lift it, I can't!"

"your not trying" said Slade firmly,

"yes I am!" said Jade,

"no your not, your TRYING to hold it up, your not trying to lift it, now try" said Slade,

Jade pushed up with all her might, her elbows raised a few inches off the bench only to come slamming down again, she screamed in pain, "I can't!" she yelled, "I'm trying, and I can't!" she didn't think she could hold it for much longer, "help!" she yelled again, Slade didn't do anything, he Stared at her with his arms behind his back,

"what.are.you.waiting.for.Help me!" said Jade, Slade just stared down at her, Jade looked up at him "help! Moron!" she said, he still didn't do anything, just then, her arms gave in, Slade caught the bar with one hand, and put it back, Jade's arms fell over the side of the bench, she closed her eyes and panted, her arms were throbbing with pain, "owww" she groaned, Slade said nothing, she was a pathetic sight, then, Jade got dizzy and fell over onto her bad and into a deep sleep.

She was back in her room when she woke up, she looked around, a little dazed, then she remembered Slade's training, she grabbed her bicep and rubbed it, it still ached, she buried her face in her blankets, and she started crying,

"I can't do this" she sobbed, "it's way too hard, I'll never get stronger"

From Slade's control room, he could hear and see her sobbing, "on the contrary Jade" he said "your getting stronger already"
