DOOT DOOT DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOOT ( «-- suppsed to be the ringtone on their commuincators. ) Robin flipped his open.
" It's Slayde. He's downtown with an army of robots. " he briefed us simply and we left.
Sadly, we didn't know it was a trap, a trap for me. To make a long story short, he wanted me to use to manipulate Robin, and the Titans if he could. And boy did it work. First, he had Robin leave the Titans. He had Robin steal all the stuff he needed and more. Slayde kept me in a cage. But that wasn't the weird part, I couldn't use my powers or transform. What the fuck? Once, Robin refused to steal something, I think it was Sinothium or what not.
" NO! I'm not stealing for you anymore! " He hollered at Slayde.
" Now now Robin. Did you forget I have your '' friend ''? " Slayde reminded with poison dripping from his voice.
" I know, but -- "
" I haven't showed you what happenes when you disobey have I? " Slayde reached for a remote-like device. " You see Robin, when you're bad, our friend here pay's the price. "
I wonder what he's going to do with that? My question was answered when he pushed the bright red button. The whole cage lite up on fire. No! Everthing was red hot, the floor, the roof, and the bars. There was no escape. I jumped up and down, trying to avoid the flames that licked hungrily at me. But every time I dodged something, more came at me. The heat, it's unbearable! I can't take this any longer!
" Uff. " I fell back-down on the heated floor.
" FAITH! " Robin yelled and ran to my cage.
" Hey. " I smiled weakly.
" I'm sorry Faith, i'm so sorry! " he told me.
" Now's not the time for apologies Robin. Sinothium Robin, Sinothium. " he directed with a bark.
Though he didn't want to, he did. I lay there, thinking. I'm ruining everything. Because of me, all this stuff is happening. If I weren't here, Slayde wouldn't have someone to blackmail Robin with. It's all my fault. Tears began to spill. If I had never met the Titans, he'd would've never been this screwed! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!! It just kept rewinding. My faullt, my fault, my fault, my fault, my fault, my fault, my fault, my fault, my fault, my fault...Then I fell into a dreamless sleep. THUD I awoke to find Robin to have been smashed into my cage. What the? I opened my eyes and gathered my groggy senses.
" Oooooh. " Robin moaned and groaned in pain.
" That's enough for today Robin. " Slayde announced.
" Grrr. " Robin growled silently.
I watched Robin try to get up and attack but he couldn't. Everytime he did, he fell back down in pain. It broke my heart to see him like this. I have to get up and help him. He needs me right now! I attempted to get up but my muscles were kinda numb from me not using them. Get up you stupid body! GET UP NOW! I got up on my knees and slowly inched over to Robin. I put my hand on his shoulder to let him know I was there.
" Robin, you okay? " I whipsered hoarsely. He turned around with a surprised look on his face.
" Faith! You scared me! And yes, I'll be okay. " he assured.
" Really? You crashed pretty hard! " I pointed out.
He managed a small laugh, " Yes, I'm fine! "
I reached out and held his hand. I put my head against the cool bars and was silent.
" I'm sorry Robin, so so sorry! " I looked up at him. " This is all my fault. " I confessed.
" What are you talking about? This isn't your- "
" DON'T TELL ME IT ISN'T! " I practically yelled, " I know it is! If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be here! If I weren't here, Slayde wouldn't have ME to blackmail you with! " I slumped down into a small ball, crying.
" Faith, " he said it so sternly that I looked up. " It's not your fault! I mean, he's using you, but it's not your fault! If you weren't here, I'd still be in love with Star, and he would've used her instead! "
" I, I never thought of it like that... " I answered quietly.
He held my chin up and smiled at me. I smiled back. Then, we kissed ; short and sweet.
" I love you Robin. " I told him.
" I love you too " He replied.
" Ah, lovebirds! And Robin's right, I would've taken the other girl if you weren't the one. " Slayde interrupted. " Now for your mission. I want you to destroy the Teen Titans. "
" WHAT?!? " Robin yelled in disbelief.
" I want you to destroy the Teen Titans. "
" NO! I am not going to kill my friends! "
" Yes, you will, because I have your little girlfriend. " he pointed towards me.
" I -, arrrgh " he gave up.
" Now go! " Slayde roared at him.
No! He can't! I watched Robin leave with wide eyes. I couldn't believe he was going through with it, just to save me. But how long will this go on? As long as Slayde has me, Robin will remain his slave. I sat there in my confinement, thinking of how to escape.
" ROBIN! I TOLD YOU TO DESTROY THEM! " barked Slayde. He was talking to Robin on the screen. " and since you didn't obey, I guess she dies. " He pushed the button, and my cage was consumed in flames.
" Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! " I screamed.
Crap! How am I going to get out? Wait, my powers don't work, but maybe I can still fly! It was worth a try and know what? IT WORKED! I curled up into the feetle position and floated. Slayde and Robin thought I was slowly burning to my death. But boy were they wrong. I could see through the flames that Robin was off screen. Slayde yelled some more. Then in a few, Robin appeared in the doorway.
" What are you doing here?!? " shouted Slayde
" I'm here to stop this once and for all! " Robin shot back
They commenced incombat. I could heard thumps as each of them smashed into something. If only I had my powers! Stupid cage, cancelling them out. I was suddenly filled with rage. I hate him so much! I just wanna grab him by the neck and strangle his sorry ass! Suddenly, I could feel my power returning, the cold chill of my snowflake returning to my forehead. I unfurled with a gust of cold air that put out the flames.
" What the? " said Slayde with a big eye.
Then, in a blast of illuminating, blinding blue light, I transformed. YES! Time to kick some bad guy butt. With the wave of my hand, the cage blew open into bits.
" What's crack'n? " I said smoothly.
" Impossible! You couldn't have gotten out! " You could literally see cold sweat going down his neck.
I pretended to examine my nails. " Really? That was pretty darn easy though! Or was it just me? Hmm? " I spat out sarcastically.
My eyes and hands glowed blue as I powered up. " Ever heard the saying, Don't anger the gods? Well, they should add goddess's too!! " I waved my hands and brought them above my head. " YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! " I screamed and let out all the power I held in my hands. When all the dust and wind died down, Slayde was simply gone. Not gone as in escaped, but gone as in dead and never to return. I gently landed on the floor and fell to my knees. Then, I involuntarily untransformed.
" It's, it's finally over. " I smiled to myself.
The last thing I remembered seeing was Robin and the rest of the Titans rushing to me. This time, I opened my eyes to find myself in my room. I pass out way to much. It's getting annoying... Through my squinted eyes, I could see a sleeping Robin on the couch. He looked so silly, blanket on the floor, open mouth, and ruffled hair. I couldn't help but laugh. But it only came out hoarse and caused my to cough. I'm guessing that my coughing fit woke Robin because he was right next to me the next second.
" You need some water? " he asked.
" Sure. " I could barely bring my voice above a whisper.
I sipped at the water and felt much better. It seemed to have revived me.
" What happened? How long did I pass out for this time? " I inquired.
" You were only out for a day. " he responded
" Really?! " I said incredulously.
" Yeah, I guess you were justed tired. " he guessed.
I threw my arms around Robin.
" I thought I'd never see you again! " I sniffed, " I thought I'd be stuck in that stupid cage forever! And you would have to work for Slayde forever! "
" Sssh! It's okay, I'll always be with you. I promise. " he assured, hugging me back.
" Good. " I pouted with relief. It's a promise.
And there's my story. Weird huh? To this day, I still live in the Tower with my friends, and the love of my life.
THE END
