Chapter Six: Jade's nightmare and Her first Mission

Disclaimer: I only own Jade

{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}

Jade walked down a hall, there was a door at the end of it, Jinx had told her this door would have her family in it, she ran, it got farther away, she ran faster, faster, it just kept getting farther with every step that she took,

"hey!" said Jade "where are you going!" she pounded faster down the hall, the door just got farther away, if she went faster, it disappeared faster,

"please!" she said "I want to see my family again!" she ran after it, she started to tire, but she didn't give up, her sides hurt and she wanted to stop, the pain ran through her entire upper body, "come back!" she yelled, she slowed down, her eyes filled with tears, the stone walls started to chip, she stopped running and put her hands on her knees "please" she sobbed everything started shaking, a chunk of rock fell out of the wall, the floor split creating a huge dark hole, the door disappeared, the floor on the other side starting rising, Slade appeared on it, Jade looked up at him and extended her arm

"help me!" she yelled, he just stared at her, "please!" she sobbed "help me!" he just stood there with his hands behind his back, "help me!" she screamed as the ceiling started caving in "Slade! Help me!" but it was too late, the ceiling caved in right on her.

Jade sat bolt upright in bed, tears were streaming down her face, she wiped her face on the blanket,

"just a bad dream, just a bad dream, just a bad dream" she repeated to herself quietly, she lied back down facing the wall, she cradled her head on her hand she stared at the wall, for all she really knew, her family was dead, 'JADE!' She heard someone yell in her head,

"stop it, please" she said quietly, she closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly

{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}

The next day she found herself being woken up by Jinx,

"hey!" she said "wake up!, Slade wants you"

"wha?" said Jade half asleep, Jinx gave her a good, hard, push, Jade snapped into reality,

"well, now that your alive, Slade wants you" said Jinx, Jade shook her head

"what for?" she said

"he didn't tell, but he said wear your uniform and bring your staff" said Jinx, Jade got out of bed, she pulled her staff and uniform out from underneath her bed, Jinx left the room, Jade changed into her uniform, she walked over to the mirror on the wall, she examined herself in it, it matched her black hair, overall, she didn't really look too bad in it, Jade grabbed her Staff and ran out into the hall, she trotted down the hall toward Slade's quarters, when she got there, she opened the door

"Slade?" she said "you wanted me?"

"Jade, yes" said Slade "come in" Jade slid in and shut the door behind her,

"what is it?" said Jade

"Jade" said Slade "do you think your ready for your first mission?"

"Really?!" said Jade happily "oh, umm, I mean, yeah, probably"

"good" said Slade

"what do you want me to do?" asked Jade,

"well, there is a weapon I am interested in, its called a particle cannon, it can fit around ones wrist, but it's hidden behind heavy security in the basement of the city museum"

"why is it in the museum?" asked Jade

"probably because that's the last place anyone would look" said Slade

"well, that's true" said Jade, "how heavy is the security?"

"theres only one guard, but the lasers are the thing you have to worry about, and, the Titans"

"what if they don't find out I broke in, then I wont have to worry about them will I?" said Jade

"if there is one thing I don't know about the Titans, it's how they seem to know when theres something wrong going on, so I can almost guarantee they will show up"

"not like it would matter" said Jade crossing her arms and smiling "I can beat them anyways"

"Don't let your ego cloud your common sense, Jade" said Slade "The Titans are a pretty powerful force, so be careful"

"yeah, yeah, so when am I going?" said Jade

"Tonight, too risky during the day" said Slade

{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}

"I'm about to take out the guard" whispered Jade into a small headset communicator Slade had given her, as she ducked around a corner,

"Okay, remember, be quiet, and stay low"

"right" said Jade, she turned the corner, if the guard had turned around he would have seen her, she slowly snuck up behind him, she raised her staff

"Don't look behind you!" she said, the guard whirled around before he knew what hit him Jade whammed him on the head with the staff, he fell to the ground unconscious, Slade, from his headquarters rolled his eyes

"Jade" he said "you have to be serious"

"sorry" said Jade laughing, she walked to the door, it was probably locked, so she bent back and kicked it open, there was tons of lasers, surrounding the Particle Cannon, which you could almost not see because of all the lasers,

"I'm in" said Jade "how to you suppose I get by the lasers?"

"walk through them" said Slade

"walk through them?!" said Jade "but the alarm will go off"

"I forgot to mention that lasers can't detect the suit, but do watch your head" said Slade

"so the alarm wont go off, but if my head goes through one, then they will?" asked Jade

"yes" said Slade, "now hurry"

"right" said Jade, she stepped into the lasers ducking her head, she walked slowly through them, moving her head every now and then, until she reached the center, she walked over to the particle cannon, she studied it, then she grabbed it,

"I have it" said Jade

"then put it on" said Slade

Jade fitted the cannon around her wrist, she examined it, then started walking back through the lasers,

"mission accom-" started Jade, but just then, the Titans came running through the door,

"it's the titans" said Jade quietly, "what do I do?"

"fight" was Slade's reply

Robin, on the other hand couldn't believe what he was seeing,

'Jade?' he thought

"umm, Robin?" said Cyborg "now would be a great time to tell us to go"

"Oh yeah, Titans Go!" said Robin, They charged at Jade, who took out her staff, The titans attacked from all sides, she ducked out of the way of starbolts, random black glowing objects, sonic cannon blasts, birdarangs, and flying dinosaur tales, she looked up to see Starfire hovering five feet above her head, suddenly, a starbolt hit her arm, it burned, and really hurt

"Ow!" said Jade "I'll get you for that!" she jumped up and whacked Starfire in the back with her staff, she fell to the ground, unconscious,

"whoa, I didn't even hit her in the head, weakling" said Jade, suddenly, another blast came flying her way, she looked up, it was Cyborg,

"hey, watch it!" said Jade

"your, the bad guy, I'm not supposed to watch it" said Cyborg shooting at her, Jade couldn't get close to him without behind hit, and she almost was, she informed Slade of this problem,

"theres a tear gas bomb in your belt" said Slade through the communicator "pocket Six"

Jade reached into the pocket, dodging more blasts and hits from the other titans, and pulled out a small circular object, she through it at the ground toward Cyborg, who started coughing and fell to the ground unconscious,

"cool" said Jade, she pulled out two more and through them toward Raven and Beast Boy, gas filled the air and Jade couldn't see through it,

"Jade, get out of the way of the gas" said Slade, Jade stepped back, a loud crash indicated that an unconscious dinosaur just fell to the ground, the smoke cleared, revealing Robin standing several feet away from his friends,

'he looks familiar' thought Jade

"Four down, one to go" she said

Slade didn't even need to ask who is was,

"I don't want to hurt you" said Robin "just tell me why you are working for Slade"

'he sounds familiar too' thought Jade, she dismissed the thought,

"I'm working for Slade, because I can"she said , her staff in her hand and ready to go

"Okay then, your obviously not talking" said Robin

"Gee, what tipped you off" said Jade

"Jade, don't fight him, theres a hand taser in pocket eight, it'll stun him, then get out of there" said Slade

"why not fight him?" whispered Jade

"because you don't have time, backup is probably on the way" said Slade,

"fine" said Jade she reached back into her pocket and pulled out a taser, she raised her Staff, Robin raised his, Jade charged at him, when she was close enough, she whipped the taser out and shocked him with it, he fell to the floor, and Jade ran out of the room
