Chapter 6
In the evidence room, Robin was searching for any clues that might lead him to who created this thing. Or more like who is creating this thing. He didn't want to jump to conclusions, but he had a feeling Slade was behind this. Who else would be that crazy to create a monster with the same powers as his team? He could try and find Slade, but that would be nearly impossible since Slade would pop up one minute and be gone the next. And he had no idea where to start looking.
"Oh well, no point in wasting my time," he sighed. He put everything up and started to leave the room when something caught his eye. The boy wonder glanced at the device sitting in the glass case. It was the item that Starfire had taken from the villain Warp.
"That kinda looks like.........the same thing Sapphire had on her belt, only it was a little smaller than this." He remembered seeing the small, round circular disk on her belt the other day, but he didn't really give it much thought. How did she manage to get this? The real question was how would she know about it?
"The only way she could know about it would be if she had connections to someone who's been in the tower before," he said to himself. The first person that came to his mind was Blackfire. She's been around the tower before and certainly would know where the evidence room was. Sapphire had dark hair like Blackfire, but she looked nothing like her. She looked more like.........
"Starfire?" he gasped. Could it be that Sapphire was the daughter of Starfire? It would explain a whole lot, especially the whole mustard and mint topping pizza thing last night. But then again, all Tameranians did seem to have weird taste in food. Starfire must have met someone in the future and.........Whoa! He didn't want to think about that. "Maybe I'm wrong. It could be another reason I haven't thought of yet. I guess I've been working too hard or something. Starfire wouldn't do that with anyone, would she?" Besides, he didn't even know how Tameranians reproduce anyway. "Ugh, I need to get some fresh air."
"Sir, your guest has arrived." Slade's butler announced.
"Good. Send her in," he responded while getting up from his chair.
The doors opened and the girl walked in, seemingly annoyed that she had come here. She plopped down in a chair in front of his desk.
"I'm glad you came Blackfire."
"You know, I almost didn't," she scoffed. "I've got better things to do, like paying my little sister a visit."
"And how plan on doing that? If you just barged in the tower and attacked, her friends would come to her aid and it would be all over for you."
Blackfire was silent for a moment. "For your information, I would've waited until she was alone before I'd made my move."
Slade chuckled a bit. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your sister has improved quite a bit since the last time you met. She would be able to hold her own against you."
"There's still no way she could beat me! I could take her down without breaking a sweat!"
"Do you want to risk it?"
Blackfire sighed. "Ok, what do you want?"
"I want you to become my apprentice. If you do, I promise I will help you get stronger. More power than you could ever dream of. Then you'll be able to get what you want."
"Well, I usually like to do things my own way but, since you make such a good offer I'll do it."
"Excellent," he responded. "Oh and I'll also be having another apprentice joining me soon when I find them."
"Find them?" she asked. You don't know who it is yet?"
Slade smiled. "Oh, I have someone in mind."
Outside the tower, the Titans were all standing by the shore preparing to say goodbye to Sapphire.
"Are you sure that you do not want to stay a little longer?" Starfire asked.
"I wish I could, but I really need to get back," she answered. "But thanks for letting me stay here for the night. I really appreciate it."
"No problem," Robin said. "If you ever decide to come back, I just want to let you know you're always welcome here."
"Yeah, and you can play video games with me and Cy." Beast Boy added.
"Be careful when you get back." Raven informed.
"Don't worry, I will."
"Oh! I will miss you new friend!" Starfire cried and gave Sapphire a big hug.
"I'll.........miss.........you to Starfire." Sapphire answered while Starfire was unwittingly crushing her.
"I think she gets the point Star." Cyborg pointed out.
"Oops. Sorry." Starfire gave a nervous laugh.
"It's alright. I used to get hugs like that all the time."
She pressed a few buttons on her belt and a time vortex opened behind her (the same one from the "How Long is Forever?" episode). She turned and looked back at the Titans. She hoped that everything she told them would save them. Maybe it would even change everything in her time. She waved goodbye to them and they did the same. She stepped into the vortex and in a flash she was gone.
"I hope she comes back soon," Beast Boy said. "She was really hot."
Raven rolled her eyes. "Oh give me a break."
"What's the matter Raven? Jealous?"
"Don't flatter yourself."
Sapphire appeared in front of a large mansion that sat atop a huge hill, known as Wayne Manor. She opened the door, walked in and headed straight to the stairs to go up to her room. Before she got there she stopped when someone spoke to her.
"I see you're back already."
She turned around and saw Bruce Wayne coming out of the secret entrance to the bat cave. "Oh, hey Bruce. Yeah I'm back.
"I assume you told them everything they needed to know."
"Yup. I just hope they can do it."
"I believe they can," he answered. "I have faith in Robin."
Before Sapphire could speak, something on the tv in the living room caught her attention.
"This just in," a young female news announcer said. "In Jump City the creature known as Cell is once again wreaking havoc on the civilians."
"Damn him!" Sapphire cried. "He just doesn't know when to stop!" She started to head out the door when Bruce grabbed her by the shoulder.
"You're not going anywhere," he said sternly. "If you go out there you'll only get yourself hurt, or worse."
"You can't expect me to just sit here and let all those people get killed?"
"Yes. Don't you realize he could've killed you any time he wanted? So far he's been toying with you, but what's going to happen when he gets bored with you and decides to finish you off?"
"So I'm just going to sit here and do nothing?" she asked.
"No. You're going start training, like I've been trying to get you to do for a while. But you've been so stubborn you think that don't need it."
"But I........." she started, but stopped when he gave her a hard look. She finally gave up and sighed. "Ok, you win. I'll do it."
"Good."
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed."
"Don't you mean you're going to train"?
"What! You mean I have to start now? But I just got back and I'm really tired!" Sapphire whined.
"You're gonna have to make up for lost time," he explained.
"But-but-but," she stuttered. "Aw man." She headed down through the bookcase and into the bat cave. "Wonder if Dad had to go through all this when he was my age?" she muttered to herself.
Later that night in the present timeline, Robin was finishing up his training on his punching bag. The others had already gone to bed, but figured he should get in as much training as he could.
"Robin?" a voice called from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Starfire.
"Oh hey Star." He grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "What are doing up?"
"I was getting a drink of water when I heard you in here. It is late and you should be in bed."
"Yeah, I guess I should be." That was one of Starfire's best qualities, her concern for others. "Don't worry, I'm going to bed as soon as I take a shower."
"That is wonderful Robin, but that is not the only reason I came in here," she said with concern in her voice.
"What is it?"
"Do you think that we can overcome this new threat? I cannot bare the thought of losing you- I mean, everyone."
"I feel the same way Star, but don't let it get to you. I know that if we train hard and work together we can beat this thing."
"Are you sure?"
Robin smiled at her. "I'm sure."
"Thank you Robin. I feel much better now."
"No problem. That what I live to do."
She giggled. "I guess I should go back now. Good night Robin."
"Night Star."
Well that's another chapter done. If you're wondering, the present timeline is somewhere right before the "Terra" episode. And that whole Blackfire thing will play into story later on. I know there's not much action going on, but there will be soon. Trust me. R/R!
