Chapter 4: Who I was and What I have become
:Flashback:
Victor and Nora danced to soft music. She was wearing a stunning sliver dress and he was wearing a tux. He spun her and she laughed. Her beautiful blond hair was in a bun and her blue eyes sparkled with delight.
The music stopped and Victor bowed. Nora played along and curtsied.
" You're such a gentleman." she said.
" Only for you." he said as he kissed her . " And now it is time for present ."
" I thought this dinner was my present." Nora said.
" It was, but you know me I can't help myself." Victor said as he pulled out a wrapped box. She took it from him and un-wrapped it. She gasped as she pulled out a music box. It had a beautiful wood base with a beautiful ballerina in a blue to-to. The ballerina itself had a striking resemblance to herself. It had blond hair that flowed down and beautiful blue eyes. Nora spun the music winder and it started to play . She sang along with her own little song to the tune.
" You give hope, when times are blue. I never met anyone, darling anyone like you. You give me hope. Twirl me around …..until the sun …..goes down. Be with you forever my darling, dear, just you and me. Can't you see…you give hope. You give hope, when times are blue. I never met anyone, darling like you. You give me hope. Until the dawn I will be with you……"
She stood and took Victor in her arms and they danced to the music box. They danced even when the music boxes little tune had finished. And then Victors pager went off. He looked at it.
" Nora I have to go." Victor said leaving her side and gathering his things.
" Victor, can't you just tell them that you can't come in. He's making you work tonight of all nights?" Nora said sadly.
" Nora, Ferris Boyle is my boss and if I don't come he can and will terminate my research. I got to go. I'll see you later." He said giving a kiss on her cheek and waving good-bye as he walked out the door . Nora sat down at a small round table where place settings where. The cook started bring out the food. He sat it down at the table.
The cook looked at the empty chair across from Nora and asked, " Where is your husband?"
" Work." she answered. He shock his head with pity and left the room.
Nora lazily put a fork in her spaghetti and ate a bit of it. She pushed her plate away. " Happy anniversary Victor." she said blowing out the candles.
:End Flashback:

Present time--Titans tower:
" Who is this Mr. Freeze of which you speak?" Starfire asked.
Robin looked down. " It was like the hologram said. His real name is Victor Fries and he is one of Gotham's dangerous villains. Batman and I had thought he was dead, but I guess we were wrong."
" So he killed Nora, why she was helping him?" Raven asked.
"She said she had doubts and she knew a lot of things about him. I would bet she threatened to tell the police." Cybrog said.
" And then he killed her." Beastboy said.
" He turned into Mr. Freeze after he murdered all of security guards and being soaked with a freezing solution. He is completely obsessed with his wife." Robin said.
" So what does he want with the micros?" Raven asked.
" He wants to cure his wife." was Robin's solemn answer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A music box played in the cold dark. One man sat alone in a little room next to him was a glass cryogenic chamber. Nora floated lifelessly, frozen in time.
Mr. Freeze, or Victor, sang along to the tune of the music box. " You give me hope when times are blue. I never met anyone, darling like you. You give me hope. Twirl me around…until the….. sun goes down. Be with you forever my darling, dear, just you and me. Can't you see….you give me hope. You give me hope, when times are blue. I never met anyone, darling like you. You give me hope. Until the dawn I'll be with you…."
He stood and went to the glass chamber. He put his gloved hands against the glass. And he remembered the day she fell down.
: Flashback:
" Nora please stay." Victor begged
" You're always working!!! You're never home!" Nora yelled while she closed her suitcase and headed for the door. He stopped her and turned her around.
" You can't walk out on me. Please Nora! Don't you love me?" Victor asked.
Nora turned to face him. She dropped her suitcase and put a hand on his cheek. " Of course I love you. But do you love me? You're always working. At Christmas we were in the middle on opening presents with my sisters children and you left for work."
" I love you so much. I work so you can have a good life Nora. But don't leave I promise I won't work so much anymore. I'll have a talk with Mr. Boyle." Victor said hugging Nora. Nora smiled and nodded. She picked up her things and put them back in the room.
" I'm sorry." she said. " I should've told you how I felt."
" Don't be sorry, Nora. I was the idiot." Victor said.
" Oh I think I can ag-" Nora stopped in the middle of her sentence.
" Nora what is it? What's wrong?" he asked worried.
" I just thought I-- AHHHHHHHHH!!" she screamed. She bent down holding her stomach. She was kneeling on the floor screaming. Victor rushed to her side.
" Nora!!! What's happening what's wrong?" he asked frightfully. Nora only screamed then she started coughing. She coughed again and blood came out of her mouth instead of throw-up. She started choking on the blood with was now coming from her mouth. Victor put his hands around her waist and pushed on the stomach to stop her from choking. She coughed and spit out a huge blood clot. Then she passed out. Victor got up and ran to the phone.
He dialed 911 and a woman answered. " 911 are you in need of assistance?"
" Send someone right now! To 1411 South Beach Road. Something's wrong with my wife!" he yelled.
: End Flashback:
He turned back from the chamber. " Don't worry Nora you'll be okay. I'll make sure of it." Then he spun the music winder and the music box began playing once more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at Titans Tower…….
:Dream:
Starfire walked down the hallway. She walked into the master bedroom. She walked over to a mirror and looked at her reflection. She smiled. Then she saw Robin's reflection standing behind hers. He smiled. He took off his shirt and threw it on the bed. He motioned her to follow him as he walked out the door that lead to the hallway. She smiled and took off her shirt. She threw it on the bed and walked out into the hall.
No one was there. " Robin?" she asked aloud. A laugh came from the living room she walked forward into the entry way just before the living room. On the table by the door leading to the living room was Robin's pants!!! She smiled and slipped of her skirt. She put it down on the table. Now she was just in her bra and underwear. And Robin only in his boxers. She walked into the living room. But instead of the normal couch and TV the room was empty except for white sheets that were hanging from the ceiling. She stepped forward. You couldn't see in front of you for there were white sheets every where. Actually it looked quite beautiful for the sun was hitting them .She looked left and right for Robin. Then he laughed again and she turned around to meet him face to face. She jumped backwards.
He smiled and his arms around her waist. He pulled her body up against his. He leaned in and kissed her. She kissed back. But much to her dismay he broke the kiss.
Then he whispered into her ear, " I love you." then he was gone.
Starfire spun around in every direction looking for Robin. He had disappeared. " Robin where have you gone?" she asked. Then she heard a laugh from ahead of her. She quickly went forward looking for him. He laughed again and she followed. She finally came to a closet. The light was on.
" Robin?" she asked.
He laughed and said, " I'm in here silly." Starfire smiled and opened the closet and let out a scream.
Robin hung by the neck from a rope. He was dead. She screamed and backed up. Then she ran into something else. Star turned around to find Raven also hanging from a rope. She ran in the different direction. Then she ran into another body. Cyborg. She was now screaming and crying. She ran again only to find herself face to face with a dead Beastboy. She turned to look back at the closet. Robin's body was gone. How could someone who was dead be gone?
All of a sudden a sword came flying out at her from a sheet. She dogged the attack and looked up. A dead Robin stood above her with a sword in hand. She screamed and ran through the white field of sheets . Blurriness from her tears started in her eyes, she couldn't see anything. She turned her head around. Robin wasn't there. She turned around and he was right in front of her. He raised his sword and stabbed her in the shoulder. She let out a scream of pain and fell to the ground. There was now red all over the white.
" Why are you doing this?" she screamed.
" You killed me." he yelled back as he drove the sword through her stomach. She let out a scream of pain and then all was silent.
:End Dream:
Starfire woke up screaming. Sweat drenched her whole body. She wiped it off. She looked around. She was on the floor 10 feet away from her bed. She stood and put a hand over her heart which was now racing. Then she remembered her dream. She ran out of the room towards Robin's.
When she got to his door. She beat her fists on it wildly. It opened to Robin in his boxers. She ran into his arms and the door closed behind her.
Robin looked down at the crying girl in his arms. He was surprised. She sobbed into his chest. And he held her saying, " Shh. It's okay, it's okay."
He lead her to the bed and sat her down. " Oh, Robin it is not "okay"!" she sobbed.
" What happened?" Robin asked softly.
" I had a mare of the night. And in it the others and you were dead. And I found you in a closet. And then you killed me. And--" she sobbed but then she was cut of.
" Star it was just a dream. It's not real. The others are fine, I'm fine and you're fine. Shh it's okay." he said.
" But it all seemed so real." sobbed Starfire. She leaned into Robin.
Robin laid down and Star laid her head on his chest. His chest moved up and down so did her head. He let her cry as he held her. He could feel her tears on his chest as he ran his fingers through her hair. Soon she fell asleep in his arms.
For the longest time after she had gone to sleep Robin watched her. Why did you have to see that today? Oh, my poor sweet Star. I love you so much. I shouldn't have let her go by herself. I should've gone with her. I should've been the one opening the closet door. I should've found him not you. Why you? Why does this feel so right? You in my arms. It feels like I'm home. You bring my back home, back to Earth, back to you. I love you so much and would do anything for you. I would take all the pain in the world just so that you wouldn't have to feel it. I would do anything for you. Can't you see that? You're my hope. My hope that there will be a future for me.
He finally drifted off to sleep with her in his arms.

: Flashback:
" I'm sorry Victor," Mr. Ferris Boyle said, "but I'm going to have to stop your research."
" Why are you doing this?" Victor asked hurt.
" Look Nora was a good person, Victor. And it's honorable what you're doing for her, but Gothcop has been paying. We have paid for the cryogenic chambers to be built so you can keep your wife in one until you found a cure and we have paid for all your failed experiments. I'm sorry but we can't pay anymore." said Mr. Boyle.
" You're not sorry!" Victor yelled while pushing papers and a computer off Mr. Boyles desk.
Ferris Boyle stood from his chair and backed up a little. But with anger said, " The fact of the matter is, Victor, that your wife's disease is unknown to science. And therefore can not be cured. You can keep her in the cryogenic chamber all you want to keep her alive, but it may be years before your able to cure her, if you are able to cure her at all!! I will not have this company paying billions of dollars for your research any longer!!! There is nothing you can do about this Mr. Fries."
Victors veins on his neck showed as he slammed his fists down on the desk, " I can cure her and I will find one!!! I have put huge amounts of money and time into this corporation!!!! I left my wife on our anniversary to come and do experiments for you!! And this is how you repay me!!! I need your help and you just turn your back on me!!! I love Nora, I don't want her to die!!!!"
" Mr. Fries you have until tomorrow night to pack up your things and leave. My security guards will now lead you out of my office and take you to your lab. And you will be gone by 8:00pm tomorrow night or I will arrest you." Mr. Boyle said calmly collecting his cool. Then security guards came into the office and lead Victor out.
As they went through the office door Victor turned and said, " You will regret this Ferris."
" Oh I'm so frightened." Ferris said sarcastically. " Goodnight Victor." Then the office door closed.
The Next Night…………
Mr. Boyle and his guards walked down the hall leading to Victors lab. He hadn't cleared out yet and now they were going to use force.
Meanwhile Victor sat at his desk with his head down. When he heard the footsteps outside the door he put reinforcements against it. He walked over to a closet and grabbed something from it as the door was kicked down.
Guards entered the lab with their guns up. Mr. Boyle stepped ahead of them. " Mr. Fries are you here?" he called out. All was silent and then Victor stepped out from the shadows, with one hand behind his back.
" Mr. Victor Fries who have been given a 24 hour period to clear your things and leave this building. Since you have obviously not compiled it is my legal right to arrest you and anything now in this lab is now Gothcop property. Do you understand Mr. Fries?" Mr. Boyle asked.
There was only silence from Victor. " Do you understand?" Mr. Boyle asked again.
" I understand that no matter how hard I try I will not get you to take back your decision to cancel my research. I know that I will do anything to protect my wife. And I hope you understand, Mr. Boyle, that you have made the worst mistake you ever could have." Victor said his voice tense. He took out a machine gun from behind his back.
" Disarm your weapon sir!" one of the guards. Victor didn't comply.
" I said disarm your weapon and put your hands up!"
" Go to hell!" Victor yelled as he fired 50 bullets at a time. The guards fired back and a fight started. Shots fired thought the lab and Ferris Boyle ran out of the lab to get away from the firing. When over half the guards were dead the others still fired. Then in a very small second Victor saw a stray bullet heading for a gas pipe. He ran in the other direction as it hit. There was an explosion as all the guards were burned alive. The blast was so powerful Victor felt himself crash through one cryogenic chamber and covered in freezing solution.
A couple of hours later Victor pulled himself out of the now broken chamber. He looked at his hands and feet. They were all sliver.
" NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed.
: End Flashback:
Mr. Freeze stood inside the center of the warehouse waiting for him minion to return. The door opened and a man walked in. He had been shot serve times on the back. He collapsed on the floor. Mr. Freeze walked over towards him and bent down on the floor next to him.
" Did you get the micros?" he asked.
He man coughed some blood and said in a broken voice, " No sir."
" And why is that?" Mr. Freeze answered.
" I--I couldn't get into the cabinet without the password sir. Only--only Dr. McKnight and her husband knew the code. And then the guards--the guards caught me." the man stuttered in a broken voice.
" And why didn't you get it from Arnold?" Mr. Freeze asked.
" He's dead sir." the man said.
" So then no one knows the password?" Mr. Freeze asked.
" Ye--yes sir." he man answered.
" Tell me did the guards know you or who were working for?" Mr. Freeze asked.
" They did- didn't know I was working for you. But they recognized m-me as a convict." The man answered.
" Tisk- tisk. You know you could get us into a lot of trouble." Mr. Freeze said.
" I-I'm sorry, sir. I won't let it happen again. Ca-can I please get some help it really hur-hurts." the man stuttered.
" Don't worry you'll be out of pain very soon." Mr. Freeze said in a voice that didn't comfort the man in any way. " Everyone in this room show yourself." After he said that several men stepped out from the shadows.
" My minions you see what happens when you let guards catch you. You get shot." Mr. Freeze said as he raised the man on the ground by the neck. " You have been very smart… until now." and then with one quick twist Mr. Freeze broke the mans neck and let him fall to the ground dead. " Now everyone you have seen what happens after you get caught and come back here!! In no way do you come back here after being caught and take a chance of someone following you!! Let it be known in the future that after being caught if you come back here the same night you will die as punishment. That is to be understood by all of you. Now you are dismissed." the men nodded their heads and left the room.
Mr. Freeze walked calmly back to the small room. He opened the door and told the guard to leave. The guard left and Mr. Freeze walked over to the cryogenic chamber. He put a hand on the glass.
" I have made mistakes. I left you when you needed me ,for work. And did that all that work pay off in the end? No. I promise you I will correct my mistakes. Somehow I will get MAP and I will cure you. I promise, sweetheart. Don't worry one bit, you'll be okay. And after I cure you I can make everything up to you and we can be finally together. There is hope Nora. Hope for the future."
All was silent from the floating woman in the tank. A silent tear ran down his face and froze as soon as it was half way down his cheek.
