Chapter 7: Kidnapped, Part 3

"Father? Daughter? Whoa...what?!" Beast Boy said. Slade laughed softly.

"You heard me correctly. Christine is my dear, dear daughter." There was a stunned silence from the Titans. "Now, you, changeling, come with me, now." Slade said.

"Me? Why? No!" Beast Boy said. Slade shook his head.

"I'm afraid you have no choice." He held up a remote. "With a click of this button, Christine could be demolished in seconds." (A/N: This isn't the remote that controls the headband thing, but it does have something to do with the headband) Everyone stared and Beast Boy walked up to him.

"Okay," he said, swallowing nervously.

"Beast Boy, you mustn't!" Starfire cried. Slade held up the remote again and she fell silent. Slade grabbed Beast Boy's arm and led him into the back room where Christine was. He heard a thump as the door opened and saw Christine lying on the floor, rubbing her head. Christine gaped in shock.

"Wha-why-huh?!?!" she stammered.

"HE'S your DAD?!" Beast Boy said suddenly. Christine didn't answer but looked past him, and he knew she was looking at the other Titans.

"Christine, it is time for part two," Slade said. Beast Boy raised an eyebrow and looked at him in confusion. Christine stared at him. Slade forced Beast Boy into a chair and pulled one up for Christine. She sat and suddenly Slade pulled out a knife and held it to Beast Boy's throat.

"Whoa, what the hell?" Beast Boy yelled. Christine screamed.

"NO! DAD STOP WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!" she screamed. He pressed the knife against Beast Boy's throat and Beast Boy gasped.

"Silence. I have quicker ways of doing this but I'd like to see you squirm. Now. I have tried in the past to make Robin my apprentice by threatening his friends, but they discovered a way to thwart it. But if I threaten the people you love the most this way...I see no way you can escape me," he said.

"He can always change you know," Christine growled.

"And if he does, you die, of course," Slade said.

"So much for the loving father...wait, what about mom!?" Christine said. Slade chuckled.

"Your mommy dearest is dead. I killed her after she left. I just didn't tell you. I used her as an excuse to make you more willing to come with me," he said. Christine stared at him and starting sobbing uncontrollably.

"HOW COULD YOU?! HOW COULD YOU?!?!" she screamed over and over again. Slade pressed the knife against Beast Boy's throat again and Christine managed to stifle herself.

"Now. Christine. You will go out there and fight your friends. You will destroy them. The changeling will stay back here with me. If you talk to them about this or if the changeling tries to turn against me, you both die. Now go," he said. Christine sobbed, wiped her eyes, and stood up.

"Why? Why are you doing this?" she choked out.

"Revenge, my dear. You can't just run out on me and abandon our family tradition and expect to get away with it, now can you?" he said. Beast Boy stared after Christine as she turned away from them.

"Fine," she said angrily. She opened the doors, took a deep breath, and stepped out.

"Christine!" Starfire exclaimed gleefully. Then she noticed Christine was crying. "What is wrong, Christine?" she asked.

"Forgive me," Christine said. She raised her hands and blew them all back against the wall with a huge burst of wind.

"Christine! Yo! What's up with you?" Cyborg yelled.

"I am sorry, I can't tell you!" Christine sobbed, lifting her arms and creating a huge wave of water out of nowhere. She brought it down on the Titans. Raven put up a shield and water sprayed everywhere.

"Guys, this could be like when Slade tried to make me his apprentice! He must be doing something to keep her from telling us!" Robin yelled. Everyone rushed past her to the doors.

"NO! DON'T!" Christine screamed. She created a gust of wind and blew them back towards her. "HE'LL KILL US!" she screamed before she could stop herself. She hoped to God he hadn't heard her.

-------------------------------------------------------

Slade held Beast Boy with the knife at his throat.

"I could just press the button and she would die....and you would watch, you know," Slade said. Beast Boy just stood there, terrified and helpless. He wondered why Slade had taken him and not someone else, like Starfire, or Raven, even Robin. Why him? He saw the Titans running at the door, then get blown back and heard Christine scream at them.

"HE'LL KILL US!" she screamed. Beast Boy winced as Slade pressed the sharp edge of the blade against his throat.

"She'll regret doing that. CHRISTINE!" he yelled suddenly, summoning her to him.

Christine heard Slade scream for her and everyone stared into her now orange eyes.

"I am so sorry," she whispered. She turned and ran. She didn't realize it but the Titans were following her. They stood outside while Christine went in.

"I heard you. I told you not to talk to them. And you disobeyed me. You're supposed to respect your father." He pressed harder against Beast Boy's throat, and he winced in pain. Christine started crying again.

"Please dad, don't, no please stop!!" she said.

"Did you know I could kill you, too? The headband is also connected to this little switch here, you see? It can send an electric current through your body so powerful you could be dead in seconds." Slade hovered his unoccupied finger over the button as if to taunt her.

"Please stay away," she thought in her mind, wishing the Titans would somehow hear her.

"Christine, I didn't know you were telepathic!" she heard Raven's voice say in her head. Christine tried not to show her shock on the outside and must've succeeded because Slade said nothing.

"Me either! Guys, please stay away. He's got a knife on Beast Boy and he's got me wired to electricity. For everyone's sake, stay away!" Christine told Raven. Raven never responded, and she assumed she was telling the others.

"What are you going to do to us?" Christine said softly.

"You are going to go back out there, and you are going to fight. You are lucky I'm taking mercy on you this time, but if you disobey me again, you will not be so fortunate." He cut a slit on Beast Boy's cheek as if to prove his point. Beast Boy grimaced but said nothing. Christine cried softly and opened the doors. Without hesitating she blew them all back into the wall again.

"Christine we know Slade is somehow controlling you, but how we don't know. If he's going to kill you two we need to stop him some how!" Robin said. Christine shook her head.

"There's nothing you can do!" she yelled, flooding the room suddenly. Terra raised some boulders up and tossed them at Christine. She blasted them all with water and blew one back at Terra with wind. Terra barely dodged it.

"Christine please, there has to be something we can do!" Cyborg said. Christine shook her head and created a barrier of wind against one of Raven's and Starfire's attacks. Robin suddenly held everyone back. He said something quietly to them and Christine just stood there, her back to the door. Suddenly they all rushed at her, except, much to her surprise, they burst through the wall behind her.

"NO! YOU GUYS DON'T!" she screamed, running up behind them. She blew them all into the wall behind Slade.

Slade stared at the Titans in shock.

"You disobeyed me," he said, glaring at Christine. She started sobbing.

"No! Dad, no I didn't!"

"I told you what would happen."

"I DIDN'T!" she screamed. The next few events happened in about 5 seconds that seemed to last forever. Slade withdrew the knife from the Beast Boy's throat and plunged it into his stomach. Christine, Terra, and Starfire all screamed and Christine ran forward. Raven suddenly noticed the band on Christine's head and the button in Slade's hand that he was about to press. She quickly used her powers to make the band explode just as Slade pressed the button.It crackled a bit as it fell to the ground. Christine screamed and lunged at Slade, who had just withdrawn his knife from Beast Boy's stomach. He was lying on the ground in too much pain to say anything, bleeding profusely, his eyes wide in shock. Christine began attacking her father.

"YOU BASTARD! I HATE YOU! BURN IN HELL! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!!!" she screamed. "RAVEN! YOU GUYS PLEASE GET BEAST BOY OUT OF HERE!" she yelled. Raven nodded and Terra raised a rock and placed Beast Boy on it. She, Raven, and Starfire all flew out of the building. Cyborg and Robin stayed to help Christine fight.

"You killed my mother, and just now you probably killed one of the most important people in my life. I swear, I'm going to kill you dad," Christine hissed, stepping forward. Her eyes were blazing a bright, angry red, and now it wasn't just the iris, it was all of her eye. Slade stepped backwards. Water sprinklers started going off in the building and a cold, angry wind swept up all of a sudden. Christine lifted her hands suddenly and Slade flew into the back of the building. Robin and Cyborg rushed at him as he stood up. He blocked their attacks and jumped behind them, running at Christine. She formed huge orbs of water and attacked him with them (A/N:Much like Starfire's starbolts). He blocked as many of them as he could, though he did get hit, and hit her. Christine fell down and groaned, her eyes still glowing. As she stared up at her father, her eyes changed from a glaring red to a deep, hatred filled black and they glowed fiercely. She lunged at him again, punching him with all of her strength. Robin and Cyborg came to help her. He managed to block most of their attacks, but it was hard with three of them. Finally he stumbled back.

"I will be back," he said. He threw something onto the ceiling and it detonated, causing the whole building to shake and begin to collapse. He ran out, and Cyborg, Robin, and Christine fled the building, only just making it out. Once they were out, Christine's eyes stopped glowing and they turned a dark shade of blue and she started crying. Robin and Cyborg kneeled down beside her as she fell to the ground, crying her heart out.

-------------------------------------------------------

"We have to hurry!" Starfire cried as they shot through the air like bullets. The nearest hospital was still about 15 minutes away.

"I know, I can't go any faster!" Terra yelled, sitting on the edge of the rock. She was crying, too, but she was also burning inside with anger. She knew why Slade had taken Beast Boy; he had probably forced Christine to tell him that she was in love with Beast Boy, and that was why. She knew it wasn't Christine's fault but she couldn't help but feel angry at her. Beast Boy was lying on the rock, holding the wound and breathing shallowly. Terra was scared everytime she looked down at him. The rock was red around him from his blood. They finally reached the hospital and ran to the Emergency entrance. The doctors took him quickly and kept him in there. Raven tried to communicate telepathically with Christine, but it seemed she was closed off to the world around her. Starfire tried dialing Cyborg's phone in his arm, but couldn't understand the use of a telephone, so Raven did it for her.

"Cyborg? It's Raven," she said.

"Oh, hey Rae," he said.

"How's Christine? Can you and Robin get her down here?" Raven said, looking over at the nurses and doctors walking in and out of Beast Boy's room.

"Yeah, no problem. Ya'll are at the one that's about 20 minutes from here, right?" he asked. Raven could hear muffled sobs in the background.

"Yeah, please hurry," Raven said, hanging up. She walked over to Terra and Starfire and sat beside them. They both were crying silently. They sat there quietly like that until Christine, Robin, and Cyborg walked in. Christine was sobbing hysterically and muttering over and over again.

"No, no, it's my fault, I don't deserve to be a Titan anymore, I want to go, it's all my fault, I can't do this, no, it's all my fault!" she was muttering. Cyborg and Robin were practically carrying her, and they sat her in a chair next to Raven. Christine leaned forward and massaged her head.

"Christine, it's not your fault. You didn't stab him, and you certainly didn't make Slade stab him," Raven said, placing a hand on Christine's shoulder. Tears were falling through Christine's fingers and down her cheeks.

"Yes, it is, I shouldn't have-"

"You can't change the past, so come on, it happened. You have to accept that and move on. It was NOT your fault," Raven said firmly. Christine looked up at her and smiled weakly. They sat there for most of the night. The chairs didn't have arm rests, which made sleep easier. Raven fell asleep with her head on Cyborg's shoulder. Christine and Terra fell asleep with their backs together, and Starfire was asleep on Robin's chest. The doctor came at closing and informed them that they'd have to leave, but they could come in at 9:00 A.M. the next day. He asked them to fill out some paperwork since they were from the States and Beast Boy didn't have any parents. Afterwards, they all went to a hotel and rented a room. It had three beds. Christine and Raven slept in one bed, Terra and Starfire in the next, and Cyborg and Robin played Rock, paper, scissors to determine who got the bed and who got the tiny couch in the corner. Robin won, so Cyborg scrunched up on the couch. Everyone else fell into a restless sleep.

-------------------------------------------------

Christine awoke with a start. She looked at the clock: 8:00 A.M. She sighed and stood up. Robin had managed to get their bags somehow the other day, of which she was grateful. She pulled out her extra clothes and headed to the bathroom. She placed an "Occupied" sign on the door, closed it, and started the shower. She undressed and placed her clothes on the counter by the sink. She stepped in the shower and wished the water could wash away her guilt.

"They say it's not my fault, but I really feel like it. I hate my dad, and one day, I'll get him back for doing this," she thought. "God, if you're listening, please, please don't let Beast Boy die," she thought. She washed herself off, her tears mingling with the hot water running down her body. She was very anxious about Terra's reaction. Surely they had all figured out why Slade had taken Beast Boy instead of anyone else?

"Maybe I'll get lucky and they're all a heck of a lot stupider than I thought," Christine thought sarcastically. She turned the water off and towled off. "You know, I should consider being a matchmaker and getting Raven and Cyborg together to get my mind off of things," Christine thought, thinking back to the hospital last night. She finished drying off and blow drying her hair, then she dressed in jeans and her black tank top and black converses. Raven and Terra were the only ones awake. It was 8:15 and Raven took the shower. Christine sat down on the bed she'd shared with Raven and sighed.

"Do you think he'll be okay?" Christine asked Terra, looking at her. Terra swallowed her doubts and nodded. She tried to smile.

"Of course," she said. Christine smiled weakly.

"That's good. Because I feel so guilty," she said, smiling grimly at her pants. Terra leaned over to her.

"Hey you shouldn't, it's not your fault," she said. Christine shook her head.

"Those words mean nothing if I can't believe them," she said. Terra looked at her.

"You shouldn't blame yourself just because Slade was your father. I mean, I could just as easily blame myself for not attacking Slade just as he stabbed him. But I'm not. Because I know that if Slade had his mind on it there's nothing I really could've done to stop it. Please, Christine, stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault," Terra said. Christine sighed.

"I know it's not. But I have this nagging 'what if' voice in the back of my head," she said. Raven walked out of the bathroom just then, and Terra walked in. Everyone had decided to dress differently today, so Raven was wearing black cargo pants and a black shirt. She had problems with parting with her cloak, but it didn't look right with her outfit, so she decided not to wear it. By the time Terra came out Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg were awake. After everyone had gotten a shower and gotten dressed (Terra wore her regular shorts and a white short sleeve shirt, Starfire wore a purple tank top and jeans and Robin wore a black short sleeve shirt and jeans.) they had about 15 minutes, so they walked to the hospital and stopped at a bagel shop on the way. They walked into the hospital at 9:05 and Christine, Terra, and Starfire ran to Beast Boy's doctor.

"Is he okay?"

"Will he live?"

"PLEASE tell me he's okay!" They all shouted at him. He kinda backed up and Raven, Starfire, and Cyborg pulled them back.

"Sorry Doc, but may we see Beast Boy?" Robin asked. The doctor nodded and pointed at his room. There were just enough chairs for all of them. Christine and Terra sat down beside Beast Boy, and each one of them took a hand. Christine felt so guilty for doing this to him. She remembered Terra's words and tried to make herself stop feeling guilty, but she couldn't. They sat there for a few hours, not really saying much, just staring at their friend, who was unconsious because of the medicine they'd given him for surgery. Finally he began to wake up. Terra was the first to notice.

"Beast Boy?" she said. He looked at her and smiled.

"Hey," he said. Terra squealed happily and kissed him. Beast Boy kissed back, but only Raven saw him look over at Christine. Terra pulled away and Christine wasn't looking at them. She tried to do what Raven had told her to do, calm herself, her emotions, and she let how happy she was that Beast Boy was awake take over the jealousy she felt at Terra kissing him. When Terra moved Christine hugged Beast Boy and started crying.

"This is all my fault, I'm so sorry!" she cried. Beast Boy shook his head.

"It's not your fault, please don't think that," he said, smiling at her.

"Hey guys, who's hungry?" Cyborg said. Everyone except Christine raised their hands.

"I'm really not hungry. I'll catch up with you guys later," Christine said, smiling at them. They shrugged and left. Christine and Beast Boy were silent a minute.

"So uh...Slade said something about losing the one you love or something," Beast Boy said. Christine blushed.

"Well yeah. I told you on the roof didn't I?" she said. She looked away. "But you have Terra." Beast Boy sighed.

"Well actually, I'm not sure how much I like her anymore. She's a good person and all but....I don't know. When we get back to the tower I'll probably break up with her. I just don't feel the same about her anymore," he said. Christine's heart lifted and she hugged him again.

"I'm so sorry for everything," Christine said. Beast Boy shook his head again.

"No, don't be. It's not so bad here. And they'll release me in a few days, so we'll be home before you know it." He held her hand and smiled at her.

"And you want to know something?" he said. Christine looked at him questioningly.

"I think I love you, too."

A/N: AHHHHHHHH! Mwuhaha. I didn't really want the chapter to end here but I'm grounded (because everything's my fault, and those are my dad's exact words) yeah so uh I wanted to hurry up and put everything in that I wanted for this chap. PLEASE REVIEW!
