Series Title: Creation

(NOTE: R AND R, PLEASE!)

PART TWO (A):

SECTION ONE: GONE

The fugitive was surrounded. He had nowhere to run now. Robin took this brief opportunity to study his opponent. Like his friends, he was surprised to see that they had been chasing a blonde haired girl with black wolf ears and a tail. Her hair had a boyish cut, which is why he had mistaken her for a guy. She wore a metal collar around her neck, and currently, she was covering her ears as if she had heard a loud sound.

As the Titans prepared to fight their newest enemy, Starfire interjected, "Stop! It is not honorable to attack an unready opponent. Even if she does work with Slade," she said quietly.

At this, Robin quickly spotted the 'S' written on the wolf-girl's collar. Ready or not, the girl had to be stopped. "Star, we can't let her get away!" Robin continued to yell at Starfire, "If she is working for Slade, it is even more important that we catch her and find out what Slade is planning."

"Yeah. Remember the last time we dealt with Slade's apprentice?" Cyborg reminded the group about the former Titan, Terra.

"Uh… Dudes…I hate to interrupt our battle of the sexes here, but…" Beastboy pointed to where, just moments before, the wolf-girl had been standing. Robin looked around for a sight of her.

Robin started giving out orders to the team right away, "Titans, split up and find out where she went. We need to capture her and find out what Slade is up to before he actually does anything. That girl may be our only hope." Starfire started to say something but Robin cut her off, "Go!"

Beastboy changed into his bloodhound form and began to pick up a scent down an alley. Before taking off with Cyborg and Starfire, Raven made a final comment to Robin: "If you hadn't wasted time arguing, she would not have gotten away!"

When his friends had left, Robin began to scold himself for getting distracted by Starfire's comment. How could I have let her get away! Raven shouldn't blame me! They had her cornered! I should have taken her when I had the chance…Meanwhile, he searched for some sort of clue that might lead him to the girl, or even to Slade himself. Then, he spotted something on the ground. It shone brightly in the starlight. It was a tiny earpiece. His eyes narrowed in thought. Who are you?

SECTION TWO: STOP!

While the Titans were busy arguing, I became invisible and slipped away down a dark alley. "Apprentice! STOP! Where are you going? Stand and fight! Do it now while they are distracted! ST!" I could not stand it anymore. He would not stop screaming. I pulled out the earpiece and tossed it to the concrete. Then, I am ashamed to say, bolted.

SECTION THREE: WHO ARE YOU?

Beastboy was beginning to think he would never catch her. He remembered how fast she had been running on the rooftops just minutes before. He also remembered how agile she was. She's almost as good as Robin. Maybe faster.

"She could be miles away by now!" The trail had led him outside of Jump City and into the hills where the Titans had met Thunder and Lightning. Where Robin had first fought with Slade.

The scent was getting stronger now. He seemed to be getting closer to the source. The girl, who is she? Why is she working for Slade? And why is he asking himself all of these stupid questions! He let out an exasperated sigh.

His thoughts were rudely interrupted by some sounds over to his right. Well, not really his right, but to the right and slightly behind him within a group of trees he had just past by. Due to his curious half-animal-half-human nature, Beastboy decided to check it out. He transformed into a wolf (I can't let her get away again. It's all up to me, he thought) and padded over behind some rocks in the grove. It wasn't long before his presence was noticed.

"There is no need to hide. I know you are here." The girl stepped forward and into the moonlight where Beastboy could see her. He realized that he had just started a conversation with a wolf!

"Wait, aren't you-supposed to be human?"

"Not exactly."

"Who are you?"
