New Identity
Chapter Ten
Truth and Reunion
================================================================================================
-they don't even know me
they don't even try
they don't even see me
the tears that I cry
I'm hurt all over
never though I could
be so misjudged
be so misunderstood-Callisto
================================================================================================
I'm still spinning
caught in your spell
lost in the secrets
you refuse to tell-Cyborg
================================================================================================
when I was just a little girl
I believed in wondrous things
beautiful sights in my mind
never waking from this dream
that was then this is now
now I see such different things
babies crying, horrible sights
something's strange and I can't see
what is wrong, what is right-Starfire
================================================================================================
I've learned my lesson
made my mistakes
I took a risk
higher than the stakes
this world is cruel
full of broken pain
full of worthless crap
full of axes and chains
my anger exists
my happiness is gone
so my advice to you:
trust NO ONE!!-Robin
================================================================================================
Robin looked around Titan Tower for Starfire, and not o mention his friends. He knew it, that Callisto was bad news, but he wasn't able to convince Starfire. She was too goodat heart, and that was one of the reasons why he went crazy near her. But because he ignored his intuition, she was gone. And now the rest of his friends were in danger.
Slade mentioned Callisto installed it in the basement. But no one was there when he checked. However, it was without a doubt that Callisto had an extraordinary power. What the power was exactly, he couldn't figure it out. He decided to try it one more time. It came as surprise when as soon as he opened the door, he experienced a kick in his stomach.
Robin crashed into some furniture and he heard some glass shatter to the ground. He quickly got up and the lights were out once again. But the light from the full moonunmasked his attacker. It was none other than Slade.
Only the sight of this Slade made Robin gasp in surprise. For the first time in his life, Slade was exposed. Robin dreamed of seeing the true indentity of the man who made his life miserable beyond reason.
But now, he was having second thoughts. Slade was so ghastly looking and had a haunted look about him. His skin looked so leathery, and his blue eyes were surrounded by blood red veins. He also looked even more paler than ever. Robin for once, wished he was wearing his usual black and orange mask.
"Hello Robin. What a pleasant surprise," Slade said as if he and Robin were friends from many years ago. No matter how frightening, cold, and haunting his eyes were, that voice always maintained that drawl.
But it wasn't the eyes or the voice that unerved Robin. It was actually the fact of how, in a way, they looked so similar...
"Slade, I want my friends back!" Robin pushed his previous thoughts back.
"It's been awhile," Slade came closer. Robin put his guard up, ready for an attack.
"I mean it, Slade! Where is Starfire?" Robin growled dangerously.
"To be honest, I don't know where your precious friends are. Callisto could have either kept them somewhere, or possibly have killed the-"
Robin didn't dare let him finish his sentence. With a quick run and punch, Slade flew back and tasted blood. Robin had broken his nose.
"Patience, Robin. I only came to ask you calmly, if you would like to once again, join forces? We could strike fear into everyone's hearts. If you say no, I assure you, you won't come out of this fight alive, and neither will your friends," Slade asked after getting up, wiping the blood flooding from his nose.
Robin ran again, taking out his rod. With a cry, he flipped in mid-air, hoping to strike Slade on the top of his head. Slade's quick refexes allowed him to dodge Robin's attack. obin, however, was not disheartened. He decided to kick him in his chest, wishing that this monster would feel his pain. The pain of having horribles memories come to life of losing, or almost losing those he cared about.
"Never Slade!" he yelled, succeeding in his attack. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to have an effect on Slade. He insteadgrabbed Robin by the neck, like how he did with his eldest child. Robin was coughing and soon was spitting out blood.
"I have grown very impatient with you!" Slade roared. Robin's head was pounding. He was losing breath.
"Funny, I could say the smae thing about you!" Callisto surprised them both as she stood against the wall, arms crossed. Slade dropped Robin from shock.
"Callisto?" Robin looked at the girl who put his friends at the hands of the maniac who just tried to kill him. Yet, she saved him. Why?
"Hmmm..." Callisto hummed softly, closing her eyes and folding her hands. Suddenly, Robin's body glowed and all over the room, there was Robins. He seemed to have multiplied.
"Robin, run!" Callisto yelled as she ran back into a dark hallway.
Robin-all the Robins ran. While the fake Robins ran in different directions, completely confusing Slade, the real Robin followed after Callisto. Confused as he was, he needed to talk to her, or make her sorry she messed with him.
Robin ran all the way to where his room was. Callisto opened his door and pulled his in, closing the door quickly. Both sat in complete darkness until Callisto took out a small jar containing a tiny light.
"Callisto!" I should ha-" but Callisto hushed him and covered his mouth with her hand.
"Shh! Don't be so loud. He could be close!" she harshly whispered.
"You're gonna pay!" he said, fist ready to pound into her face.
"Wait! I have Starfire," Callisto flinched. Robin looked at her strangely, and slowly put his hand down.
"Where?" he demanded.
"Shh!" Callisto looked worriedly at the door. "Look, I have her, and the rest of the Titans. I will only hand them over safely on two conditions."
"Go on," Robin narrowed his eyes.
"One, is that you hear me out," Callisto pleaded.
"I'm not going to trust you," Robin said through gritted teeth.
"I'm not asking you to!" Callisto cried exasperatedly. "All I'm asking is that you listen to what I have to say."
"Fine, what is the other condition?"
"That you help me defeat Slade, once and for all," Callisto said, pure hatred escaping from her lips.
Robin almost laughed out loud. Like he was going to say no to that request.
"Fine, that is alright by me. Now, where is Starfire and the rest of my friends?" Robin asked again.
"Wait, you said you'd listen," Callisto reminded him.
"Fine!" he growled. "Then get on with it!"
Callisto looked at the jar, their only source of light was trying to escape. She took a deep breath.
"Alright, well, this isn't going to be easy to say. Robin, my mother was a witch. Because of her, I'm an Oracle. I have a power of illusion and emotions. Illusion is a type of power that allows me to create images that I see in my mind. My power of emotion also allows me to see and read the souls of others. I can read their fears and their desires. I can also take away their souls."
"You can what?" Robin asked, shocked at what the girl could do. It was enough to drive him to run away from her as fast as humanly possible. But the image of Starfire squashed that notion.
"You heard! Well, Slade captured my mother, after he escaped the hospital. He used her as bait to get me to do what he wanted. Whatever he wanted," Callisto went on.
"Just like what you're doing now, using my friends as bait. Like father, like daughter, " Robin muttered.
A spark of danger sparked in Callisto's blue eyes, but what completely replaced by sadness.
"You're right. I'm sorry. But at least I won't do what he did. He killed my mother in front of me. After he promised, after he swore..."she broke off, trying to fight back tears, feeling like she let her mother down.
Robin then felt a surge of compassion and sympathy for her. He realized Callisto, Slade's daughter or noy, was still a young girl his age was still capable of feeling.
"I'm sorry," he said, unsure of wehat to do.
"No," Callisto sniffed. "I should be sorry. For foolishly thinking a man like him could keep his word. And to think he helped give me life-"
"-but can so easily take it away," Robin finished for her. Callisto looked at him sincerely, taking his hand. Not romantically, but ready for comfort for what she had to tell him.
"Robin, Slade had, no has, another child. A son, a couple months younger than me," sh stated. "He had an affair when my mom was pregnant with me. After he knew I was going to be a girl. The other woman believed him to be an honest true man.
"So, you're a sister?"
"Half-sister. Remember, same father, different mother. You know who the son is."
"I do?"
"Think, Robin. You saw him. Imagine him younger, with the same personality...imagine. Remeber his eyes."
Robin slowly thought. He pondered on who he knew. There wasn't a single villain he knew that looked like Slade. He looked at Callisto's eyes. They were truly given by Slade. But he saw them before. He was sure of it....
"It scared me so much when I first saw you," Callisto laughed, even though she found nothing funny. "So much I refused to trust you."
Robin's head suddenly clicked.
"No, no, I can't-there's no way-"
Callisto rolled her eyes. She knew younger brothers were annoying, but this was ridiculous. This was not the time to be in denial. "Don't deny it! I can feel it, you know. Think on how alike you two are. Same personalities, almost same features..."
"I am not him!" Robin whispered, but defensive enough.
"No, you're not. You are more than hin. Higher level, much more superior than he could ever be. You don't manipulate, or only think of yourself. He may have made you, but you aren't him. I'm proud of you little brother," Callisto beamed at him. Robin pulled his hand away.
"Then, my mother?"
"She put you up for adoption to protect you. She quickly found out about our father before you were born. I know, I read Slade's soul once. It was horrible," she looked paler as she said this.
"I'm his son, you're my sister? This is too complicated," Robin commented, staring blankly at the small jar of light.
"Well, it's about to get even more complicating," Callisto remarked, checking her watch. "That's Cyborg you're looking at."
"Cy!"
"Come on, we need to go to his room," Callisto pulled Robin up. She quietly opened the door-no sign of Slade. The siblings tiptoed over to Cyborg's room. There on the rechargable table, was Cyborg, completely unconscious. On the bed was none other than Starfire, sleeping peacefully.
"Star!" Robin cried joyously.
"Shh! We are not out of the woods yet, you know!" Callisto lectured. She gingerly opened the jar, and held the soft light in the palm of her hand. Carefully, she let it hover over Cyborg's body and the light fell on his chest. Cyborg's eyes opened wide and looked at Callisto.
"I...heard," he said hoarsely.
"Heard what?" she asked.
"Everything you told him," he slowly jerked his head in Robin's direction. Robin was kneeling next to the bed, holding Starfire's hand, watching her sleep. She looked like Sleeping Beauty.
"Good," Callisto smiled. "So I won't have to explain it anymore. Starfire is seeing the truth in a dream, and The Dark will have explained it to Beastboy and Raven. Speaking of The Dark..."
"The Dark?" Cyborg questioned, getting up.
"Yeah, he should be here by now," Callisto told him.
"I am here," a deep masculine voice spoke right behind her. Robin went immediately in front of Starfire, taking out three Bird-a-Rangs. Cyborg raised up his arm, which was also his dangerous weapon. Both boys were ready to fight. Callisto just rolled her eyes.
"Ignore them, they don't see your true form," she told her ghost friend.
"Obviously," The Dark looked at Cyborg's and Robin's weapons. "I have the mortals."
A portal appeared out of the wall and out came Raven and Beastboy (a/n:think of the theme song, where Raven comes out of her dark thingy...). Both were dazed and half-confused. But aside from that, they were healthy and alright.
"Dude, that was the freakiest joy ride I've ever been on! "Beastboy cried out. "No, wait, it was alot like your mirror world thingy, Rae."
"Thank you for not allowing my mind to be lost," Raven thanked The Dark, who smiled. Raven slightly blushed. To other's, The Dark's smile may have scared the living daylights out of them, but to Raven, it was very charming.
"Oh no, thank you for allowing me to finally Rest. I thank you too, young oracle, and good luck to you all," he said before he dissapeared inside the portal he created.
"Okay? I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but THAT was creepy," Cyborg finally lowered his arm.
"I don't know. I think I'm going to miss him," Raven commented, her violet-blue eyes shinning. Beastboy's jealously arouse again.
"Yeah, he was pretty cute," Callisto agreed.
"What?!" all three boys looked at her disbelieving.
"It's an aura thing. Too complicating," Raven explained to Beastboy. He still shook his head. "But he was nothing compared to you." Beastboy smiled at Raven and wrapped his arm around her.
Starfire stirred and opened her eyes. The first thing her emerald orbs saw was Robin. She squealed with delight and hugged him. Robin returned her embrace and planted a passionate kiss. Callisto sighed happily.
"Dudes, I have three words for you: GET A ROOM!" Beastboy said, earninng him a whack on head from his girlfriend.
"Not so loud!" Callisto warned him.
"Oh Robin. I believed you to be damaged!" Starfire cried, tears of mixed emotions trailing down her face.
"It's alright, Star. We're together, that's all that matters," Robin kissed the top of her head.
"Sorry to cut this little reunion short, but don't we have some evil Slade but to kick?" Cyborg brough them all back to focus.
"Slade is inside our home?" Stafire asked.
"Yeah, distracted by the dozen Robin clones running around Titan Tower," Callisto smirked.
"I assume someone has a plan,?" Raven asked.
"Yeah," Robin grinned confidently. "And we're for sure going to get Slade out of our lives."
================================================================================================ I look at you
and I realize
the supernatural
is in your eyes
shivers are crawling up my spine
with the satisfaction knowing, you're mine-Beastboy to Raven
================================================================================================
Before I met you
life was all the same
nothing was questioned
nothing was changed
now I can let my
imagination run free
every though is special
when you're here with me-Raven to Beastboy

"Everything you told him," he slowly jerked his head in Robin's direction. Robin was kneeling next to the bed, holding Starfire's hand, watching her sleep. She looked like Sleeping Beauty.
"Good," Callisto smiled. "So I won't have to explain it anymore. Starfire is seeing the truth in a dream, and The Dark will have explained it to Beastboy and Raven. Speaking of The Dark..."
"The Dark?" Cyborg questioned, getting up.
"Yeah, he should be here by now," Callisto told him.
"I am here," a deep masculine voice spoke right behind her. Robin went immediately in front of Starfire, taking out three Bird-a-Rangs. Cyborg raised up his arm, which was also his dangerous weapon. Both boys were ready to fight. Callisto just rolled her eyes.
"Ignore them, they don't see your true form," she told her ghost friend.
"Obviously," The Dark looked at Cyborg's and Robin's weapons. "I have the mortals."
A portal appeared out of the wall and out came Raven and Beastboy (a/n:think of the theme song, where Raven comes out of her dark thingy...). Both were dazed and half-confused. But aside from that, they were healthy and alright.
"Dude, that was the freakiest joy ride I've ever been on! "Beastboy cried out. "No, wait, it was alot like your mirror world thingy, Rae."
"Thank you for not allowing my mind to be lost," Raven thanked The Dark, who smiled. Raven slightly blushed. To other's, The Dark's smile may have scared the living daylights out of them, but to Raven, it was very charming.
"Oh no, thank you for allowing me to finally Rest. I thank you too, young oracle, and good luck to you all," he said before he dissapeared inside the portal he created.
"Okay? I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but THAT was creepy," Cyborg finally lowered his arm.
"I don't know. I think I'm going to miss him," Raven commented, her violet-blue eyes shinning. Beastboy's jealously arouse again.
"Yeah, he was pretty cute," Callisto agreed.
"What?!" all three boys looked at her disbelieving.
"It's an aura thing. Too complicating," Raven explained to Beastboy. He still shook his head. "But he was nothing compared to you." Beastboy smiled at Raven and wrapped his arm around her.
Starfire stirred and opened her eyes. The first thing her emerald orbs saw was Robin. She squealed with delight and hugged him. Robin returned her embrace and planted a passionate kiss. Callisto sighed happily.
"Dudes, I have three words for you: GET A ROOM!" Beastboy said, earninng him a whack on head from his girlfriend.
"Not so loud!" Callisto warned him.
"Oh Robin. I believed you to be damaged!" Starfire cried, tears of mixed emotions trailing down her face.
"It's alright, Star. We're together, that's all that matters," Robin kissed the top of her head.
"Sorry to cut this little reunion short, but don't we have some evil Slade but to kick?" Cyborg brough them all back to focus.
"Slade is inside our home?" Stafire asked.
"Yeah, distracted by the dozen Robin clones running around Titan Tower," Callisto smirked.
"I assume someone has a plan,?" Raven asked.
"Yeah," Robin grinned confidently. "And we're for sure going to get Slade out of our lives."
================================================================================================ I look at you
and I realize
the supernatural
is in your eyes
shivers are crawling up my spine
with the satisfaction knowing, you're mine-Beastboy to Raven
================================================================================================
Before I met you
life was all the same
nothing was questioned
nothing was changed
now I can let my
imagination run free
every though is special
when you're here with me-Raven to Beastboy
