Series Title: Creation

(NOTE: R AND R, PLEASE!)

PART TWO (B):

SECTION ONE: RIA

"Her name is Ria. And she is my creation."

(!gasp!) "Slade!"

"Good work leading the first of the Titans to me, Ria."

This was not true, since I had no intention of leading the Titans anywhere. I had just wanted to complete the mission Master had sent me to do. The Titans had merely interfered. I said nothing.

The green boy gritted his teeth and began to shout at Master. "What is with you? Why do you always come back?" This green boy had no respect. I sensed Master's anger was rising.

Then, it started to happen again. The loss of control over my movements and thoughts. The effect came on slowly and painfully. I tried to force it back into the collar, but knew it was useless.

"What do you mean creation? What is this girl! What are you planning!"

"You will find out soon enough."

The green one pulled out some sort of microphone and spoke to it, "Robin! Cy! Anyone! I found them!" Master jumped down from the pile of rocks he was standing on and smacked the green boy in the face. The microphone flew from his hand and slid across the ground to stop in front of my front paws. I stared down at the letter 'T' written on it. "ATTACK! NOW!" The rest is black.

SECTION TWO: INJURED

As the other four Titans appeared on the scene, they prepared to defend Beastboy from the girl's attacks. As usual, Robin was there first. But all they saw was an unconscious Beastboy lying by the edge of a steep cliff.

"Beastboy!" Starfire rushed to the sprawled form on the ground. "What has happened to our friend?"

"Apparently, Slade. But he couldn't have made all these wounds on his body. Could it be-"

Although he knew what she was going to say, Robin cut into Raven's statement so as not waste time, "Raven, you and Cyborg stay with Beastboy and get him back to the med-lab. Starfire – we've got Slade."

Cyborg and Raven stared at the senseless form of Beastboy on the ground. "Well, at least he'll be quiet about it." Raven pointed out.

"We're going to have to wake him up sometime…somehow."

"Oh great, what a blast that's going to be."

"Hmmm…we could try to make him laugh? Oh, wait. That only works when he's been hypnotized. It wouldn't hurt to try-"

Suddenly, Beastboy awoke with a start, "Where is she? Where's—"

"Whoa! Slow down BB! Who are you talking about?"

"RIA!"

"Ria?" Cyborg looked surprised and confused at the same time. Raven's eyes narrowed. Cyborg and Raven traded a glance at each other. Then they looked back at Beastboy.

"Who the heck is that?"

"Wait a minute. He's talking about—

"We have to find her!" He tried to get up, but Raven stopped him by holding his arm.

"Beastboy…let's go back to the tower."

"No! She's still out there with him!"

"She's not anywhere around here, BB. Robin is searching for Slade with Starfire. Besides, you're pretty banged up. We need to get you to the med-lab right away."

"But—

"NO!" They both squashed Beastboy's efforts with emphasis.

(!YELP!)

"What was that!"

"Ria!"

"WHO THE HECK IS RIA!"
"The wolf-girl! DUH!"

"This way!" And all three ran towards the sound.

SECTION THREE: SEARCHING

While Cyborg and Raven were arguing with Beastboy, Robin and Starfire began searching for any sign of Slade or the wolf-girl. Starfire searched by air, just above him, and Robin searched on foot. "Do not worry Robin. We will capture Slade."

"You said that the last time we faced him."

"I know, but-"

Just then, they heard an agonized yelp. Robin took off towards the sound, followed by Starfire. Both prepared for battle.

This is not exactly how I wanted to tell this story…but I'll live with it. Anyway…I know part two was sort of long, but part three is coming up next!
