Without the Mask
By Sava Varen
Quick Notes:
I don't even want to think about the disclaimer right now.
This chapter, fortunately for yous people, adds on the cliffhanger! Yay! You people get to see who it was! I'm not sure if anybody guessed it, but here ya go.
Liza Akita- OMG! Thank you sooo much! I'm glad you like the story and my pictures! I'll definitely have more of them up soon! I'm in the process of coloring the one of Terra in the suit Slade told her to wear! So far it's...not coming good, but I'll do my best. Still getting the hang of Photoshop here, don't mind me. Thank you soo much! HÖLLE JA! ('hell yeah' in german) I LOVE the idea of them together! Glad so many other people do as well!
Who cares? - haha. Of course you got an honorable mention! You figured out my plan! Very honorable indeed! Thank you soo much as well! Yeah, you're VERY right! He isn't old enough to be her dad. Oh scheißen! ('oh shit' in german) I've heard of stuff like that too! It's sooo disgusting how a lot of other people do it. I'm very self conscious so when I do stuff like this, I watch out for what I do. I don't just write and post, I go over it about million-cazillion times and edit it just as much until I'm satisfied (sometimes not even satisfied, but from there take a leap). Thank you again!
Hee hee hee-rest to sure, I write almost too much for my own good, I upload EVERYDAY!! Literally! That's how fast it goes since I write 99% of the time in school! I do get yelled at but hey, can't let people down and can't keep them waiting forever! I read all these stories on here and it takes FOREVER for them to upload! I must have more time on my hands than I think...hmmm...oh well. At least I'm doing something productive with it. *shrugs* Thank you sooo much again!
Once again, thank you all! I can say thank you in.hold on, I know this one.let me get out my calcumalester.*taps table four times*.*holds up 5 fingers* This many! ?
German: Danke
Elvin: Diolle lle (TRR Tolkien's language)
Spanish: Gracias (don't think I spelled that right)
French: Merci Beau Coupe
Japanese: Arigato
Romanian: Multzu-mesc And I used to know them in Chinese and Ukrainian but I can't remember them right now. If any are wrong, just know I got the Elvin, Romanian, and Japanese off the Internet, the rest teachers told me.
Everybody who's commented has given me an energy boost as well as more confidence! I keep asking people to tell me what they think and all after they read it, but since they know me they can't say much but "yeah, it's great!" Thank you all soooo much! I wasn't sure how I was doing and getting a bit scared and set back, but now that I've received reviews telling me to go on, I'm really grateful! PLEASE! Keep telling me what you all think! Keep me updated on how I'm doing! Believe me, when you're dealing with someone like me, who's been writing their whole life but not getting any comments and anyone to tell if something's wrong, I NEED IT! Danke shön! ('thank you beautifully' in german) Later!
Chapter 5: Reunion Interrupted
The Titans stared at the two people before them in shock.
"Wow, it's quiet. Who died?" came the female.
Starfire lit up. "Sister!"
"And Aqualad! Yo, wassup?" Beastboy said.
"Wait a sec! Blackfire, you didn't brake out of jail did you?" Robin asked seriously.
"No. Of course not. I'm on parole. I gave my honest word to be good. They sent me here to be watched over."
Starfire hugged her sister. "You wish to join the Teen Titans?"
"If I'm excepted and you want me to Star."
"Oh yes! I would love that! I missed you so!"
"Robin? Is that okay with you?"
"You can stay, but you'll need to pass judgment before we officially make you a member."
"Yay!" Starfire yelled happily.
"So Aqualad, what's your story?" Beastboy asked.
"I was coming just to visit, but now I have more purpose in being here."
"In short, we were attacked by some guy in a mask." Blackfire said.
"Well, I was attacked, Blackfire helped beat him." Aqualad prompted.
"Wait. A guy in a mask?" Cyborg asked.
"Slade!" All five Titans said in unison.
Aqualad and Blackfire stared at them blankly.
"Uhhh.yeah?" Aqualad raised an eyebrow.
"Slade is our worst enemy. It's becoming a full time job trying to beat him." Cyborg explained.
"What is he planning? Do you know?" Blackfire asked.
"That's another job! We don't know! We can't track him, follow him, or find him. He likes to beat around the bush a lot with things. He's cunning and has a way of manipulation." Robin said in a tone unlike anything they'd ever heard out of him.
"He also blackmailed Robin into serving him by threatening our lives!" Starfire added on.
"Wow..." was all Aqualad could say.
"Psycho!" Blackfire said aggressively.
"Yeah, that's what I said once." Robin said.
"Wait! How did Slade know you were part of our team?" Cyborg asked.
"He can't have tabs on our each and every move, including when we met you, could he?" Robin asked.
"Do you think he sends tiny machines that we are unable to see to watch over us?" Starfire suggested.
"He can't have tabs all the time. That's impossible!" Beastboy burst out.
"Or is it?" the ever so quiet Raven spoke up.
They all stared at her with an odd expression.
"What do you mean?" Robin asked confused.
"I mean, he could have gained some sort of power that allows him to view our actions at any time. And record them as well!"
"You mean somebody who's psychic?" Aqualad asked.
"It's possible, but not certain. And if he does, who is it?" Raven said.
"I have no idea." Beastboy said.
"Of course YOU wouldn't! How many people do you hang around who are psychic?" Raven said.
"None I think--hey!"
"Quiet down Beastboy. I need to think." Robin said all of a sudden.
They all looked at Robin who was deep in thought. He took no notice of this, of course. Robin stood up and ran to his room. Everybody (except Blackfire and Aqualad that is) knew what he was doing. Looking up things on psychics and looking up the listed names of them.
"Does he do this often?" Aqualad asked.
"All the time." Beastboy answered with a sigh.
"Looks like brilliance struck!" Blackfire joked.
"Should someone go get him?" Aqualad asked.
"NO!" the five Titans shouted.
Aqualad fell back in shock. "O-kay...guess that was wrong..."
"Sorry, it's just when Robin gets this way he tends to be a little...edgy." Cyborg explained.
"Edgy like what?"
"Edgy like "I'll kick you all the way back to Atlantis if you disturb me!"." Beastboy told.
"I don't even wanna think of how painful that would be."
"Me either man, me either." Beastboy said solemnly.
"Well, anyone up for some video games?" Cyborg changed the subject quickly.
"Okay."
They all ran to the couch where Cyborg started the competition pair ups. Starfire glanced at Robin's door, sighed, and joined her friends in the game.
The games went on all day, and Team Fire won just about every time! Starfire and Blackfire were an unbeatable team together! Hopefully they'd be the same way in battle. Cyborg grumbled and announced the obvious winners.
"YAY!" they cheered together.
"Oh, what a surprise..." Raven said sarcastically.
"You guys are just sore cos we beat you!" Blackfire said.
"No we're not!" Beastboy said back.
"Oh don't try to hide it BB, it makes your jealousy more obvious!" Blackfire taunted and laughed.
"Well, yous--" suddenly they alarm sounded and the Titans' gadgets started blinking.
"Titans! Enough games, Slade is at the south town military base! He brought someone with him too! Lets go!" Robin said running to the door.
They Titans (yes, that now includes Blackfire and Aqualad) raced after him. All were ready for their first battle together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terra cautiously followed Slade into the military base. There were a lot of security guards; she was surprised he was able to get both she and himself past it all! The inside of the base was dark. She could just barely see. That's when she felt Slade's hand pull her forward by the shoulder.
"Stick close. Can't afford getting lost in here." Slade stated as he guided her.
Slade seemed reassuring there in the dark. Terra suddenly felt protected and safe with his hand there guiding her. Like in the Bible, where God led Moses and the slaves to the Promised Land through the long, hot desert with barely anything with them. Terra walked in a daze. Alone in her zone until she felt Slade tug hard at her.
"Pay attention!" he hissed.
Terra saw she was about to walk right into a clearing with two guards in it! Then she remembered another part of the Exodus. Many died on that journey across the desert. Terra gulped nervously as Slade held her still. The guards were nearing. Was Slade planning to hide from them? It wasn't exactly the hiding spot she'd choose to hide in. The guards were deep in conversation when they turned the corner and walked right past Slade and Terra. Terra was shocked.
'That's impossible!!' she thought. 'They would've seen us for sure!'
"Lets go Terra. We're almost there."
Soon, Slade had led her to a large room with many boxes. How Slade knew which box was the one with Nitroglycerin in it was a mystery to Terra, but he found it alright!
"You've done this before, I take it?" she whispered as she helped him lift the box.
"Numerous times in fact." he answered. "The Titans should be here soon, we'd better make haste."
The two thieves got out just as easily as they got in. Amazingly to Terra, they'd seen nobody. Somehow, it's like the guards disappeared or something. After gettin the first box in, Slade led her back and pointed out two more boxes that contained that they needed and went to wait for the Titans. Terra had no problem with these boxes, they were relatively smaller than the other one, but still could only take one at a time. On her way out with the fist one she heard a crash from the direction Slade went in.
"They're here." she whispered.
Terra decided to run the rest of the way. Carefully setting the box down (A/N: believe me, you DON'T want to throw that stuff! BIG BOOM!) she jetted back for the last one. After gently setting that one down in the van, she had nothing else to do but wait for...something. She knew it'd take Slade sometime to escape from the Titans, but what should she do while she waited? It didn't take long for that question to be answered. Not long after, one of the Titans had yelled;
"Got ya!"
Terra suddenly panicked and ran in to help. Along the way, she unsuccessfully tried to pull the clip off. It started to zap her after the first few tugs. She gave up after that. Once she found the sector they were in, everything was quiet and the Titans were searching for Slade. Terra stealthily sneaked through the shadows in search of Slade herself. Once or twice she had to dodge being seen by one of the Titans, but it wasn't anything hard. Suddenly, she was pulled from behind into the shadows and darkness. She knew who it was and knew enough not to struggle. It was Slade of course. He held her firmly with his hand over her lips to keep her quiet.
"I'm going to remove the clip." He whispered into her ear. "Here's another level of training for you. Don't fail me."
He pulled the clip off and Terra felt her powers coming back into her grasp. It felt good to have them back. Terra slowly crept through the darkness until she found one of the Titans. Unfortunately, it was the one she really did not want to face; Beastboy. Feeling anger rise inside of her mind and heart, she forgot everything. About what Slade had done, what she'd planned to do to escape, everything. Except the fact that Beastboy betrayed her and there he was in the open for her to have her revenge on. She took it. Her eyes and hands glowed golden as she took her powers to the max. The ground quaked and everything around her began to tremble. Beastboy struggled to hold his balance, his back toward Terra. She pulled some chunks of the floor out and whipped them at him as hard as she could. He was hit in the head and back. Terra flew on a large piece of floor over Beastboy with many other pieces ready. When he looked up at her face of hatred, he gasped and muttered:
"Terra, no!"
She didn't hear him, she didn't care, and she wanted to return the favor by getting rid of him herself. Narrowing her eyes, she aimed a piece of floor at his head and let it take course. She let other pieces shoot in random directions; one of them was likely enough to hit another Titans. On the contrary, at least one hit each Titan! Blackfire and Starfire were heard after crash landing on the hard, cracked floor yelling. Aqualad had been knocked out. Robin dodged his but ended up having the wall fall on top of him. Now her was trapped. Raven had been hit in mid air and she crashed to the wall. Cyborg was trapped under several pieces as well. Somehow, Slade hadn't even had one come his way! After the outburst, he walked slowly (A/N: yep, just taking his sweet old time...ladeeladeela...) towards Terra. After she'd fallen weakly to the ground, he knelt down in front of her.
"Terra. It's time to go." was all he said.
After he'd stood and walked towards the entrance, Terra came back to reality. She realized that he'd returned the clip to her and she was once again unable to use her powers. Sighing heavily, she stood up and ran to catch up with him. Staring up at him, she asked;
"What do you think?"
He stared down at her. "It was quite a show. But you mustn't let your emotions get the better of you like that."
"Whatta you mean?"
"In this case, yes, it was alright to let yourself loose and release the emotion, but you have to know what time is appropriate and when it is."
"You mean when...ohh...never mind..." she sighed and stared down at the ground as they walked together.
"Terra. You don't know what causes your outbursts?"
"No. Not really."
"Isn't it obvious?"
Terra searched her mind and found it. She gasped. "Beastboy..." she whispered.
"Exactly. I found it a perfect for training because of him. I'd realized it a long time ago, but was never able to put that to test."
"Yes...you did...once."
"I did?"
"When I was injured. You used the Titans as part of my training."
"That's right isn't it?"
"Yes. But what are we going to do about it from now on?"
Slade then realized something different about the way Terra was acting towards him. He smirked. "That didn't take long."
"Hm? What?"
"Huh? Never mind. I'll think of something. But for the time being, we'd better make our getaway before the guards figure out who won." he said as he began to run.
Terra followed in suit and ran with him.
A/N: Phew! That took a lot of time and ideas, but it was worth it! Here we go! Probably the longest chapter so far. I don't think I did a very good job on it, but lets just see what people think. I went through just about all of my music at least 4 times trying to finish this and go over it and edit and everything! That's like...20 or 30 soundtracks and cds. Music is the best inspiration! Truly, it is. Well, later. Must think of the next chapter while listening to Evanescence and the Cranberries! Danke sehr to all! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!! Aufwiedersehen!!('Until later' in german)
