Chap. 12 Blood of a Hero

12:00 p.m.

X and Starcat awoke to find Slade by them.

"There are only 3 more ingredients. Blood of a hero, coal, and black dust. Go now."

X left immediately. Starcat froze, thinking about her friends.

"Starcat…" Slade hissed… "Starcat…"

She still froze her powers. "STARCAT…" Her powers started to overwhelm her as tears started to stream down. She breathed in loudly and quickly. Slade gripped her as her powers were starting to explode things.

"My poor little apprentice…" The creepy man hugged her. "You know, you remind me of an old apprentice… she betrayed her friends too, but then went back to them. Terra, you remind me of her, sort of." He hugged her tighter. Eww. She thought.

"I never told Red X because I knew he'd probably kill me, well actually he can't… but… I too have grown fond of you… I wanted you first!" He lifted his mask a little to kiss her head. He smirked at her, "Now go!"

Starcat ran out but stopped. She wiped her head, "YUCK!" Then ran on more.

Red X and Starcat stole some coal. ((A/N: I know, kind of sounds lame…)) They snook to Titans Tower. Starcat nodded at X as they started to climb up the side of the tower towards the window of Ravens room. They peeped in and saw Raven leaving cause Beast Boy was talking in his sleep loudly. She was going to stuff socks in his nasty little mouth, then she could finally get some rest.

They snook in. Starcat went to her dresser where potions and magical dirt were. Black dust, she found it. A video camera was watching her, than the alarm went off. Red X and Cat ran for the window, X made it out, but a metal shield blocked it from Starcat before she could jump, she was trapped. She ran out down the halls. All the titans ran through other halls, then ran into her. Cat leaped over Beast Boy. She grabbed the collar on the back of his uniform and through him up through the ceiling. He hung as his head was stuck. ((lol)) Starfire had her starbolts ready. Cat backed into her, grabbed her hands, and back flipped over her. She held them against Star's back. Raven concentrated, a blast came out of her Ashma-Shocker or Gem Stone. (Surprisingly, I forgot what Blackfire called it! My fave eppy!) Cyborg got out his cannon. Starfire tried to blast Cat, but blasted herself! She flew into Raven and Cyborg, they were all shocked by their powers; also K.O. Robin shot out his birdarangs. Starcat quickly pulled her guns out and blasted them, the smoke blinded them both. Starcat coughed. Robin listened to were she was. He had learned that trick when he went on a quest to become a better fighter. He grabbed her arms and held her down to the ground, "You are under arrest…" He pulled out hand-cuffs from his utility belt.

"On the contrary, I'm not going anywhere…" She simply smirked. She leaned forward on her chin. Rocking back and forth a little bit, she suddenly rocked hard enough to kick the back of his head. He too was knocked out. She brushed herself as she got up. But suddenly rocks and dirt threw her back.

"And I thought you were innocent…" Terra glared.

"But you never were… You too were Slade's apprentice, I never knew, but he told me. He says were so much alike."

"I can control my powers now though, you still can't!" Terra hissed.

True, but there's another thing… I did not betray him!" She formed a bubble around Terra. With her wind she thrashed Terra around hard, but she lost it. She thrashed Terra harder, she couldn't stop it, only Tye helped her stop. She thought about Tye, the bubble slowed down then popped Terra down.

"I did not betray him, yet…" Said Starcat as she took some hand-cuffs out of Robin's belt. She hand cuffed everybody together.

She felt something tug her tail, she turned around quickly to find no-one there. Tye arose from the floor in Starcat's shadow behind her. She started to glow black and white. He whispered in her ear, "Boo."

She gasped as his powers flew her into the wall. She got up and stared at him, he looked so depressed and lonesome. She felt sorrow for him. They stared at each other for a moment.

She sighed, "Sorry, Tye…" She ran towards him, he moved out of the way but she circled him. Her claws grew longer as she tried to cut him. He grabbed her hand and twisted it behind her. "So, you didn't come back to stay, you came back for something else…" He sounded disappointed, "I'm sorry, but I can't let you leave." Starcat saw Robin's staff right by her. She slammed her foot on it, it flew up to her mouth. She gripped it in her teeth, she jerked her head sideways hard. Tye yelped as the Staff hit his head. He let go of her. She ran towards him again, trying to hit him, but he dogged and blocked every move. He grabbed the bow staff and sunk into the shadow. He appeared again behind her, and whacked her again and again. She fell to her knees in anger after the last hit. She screamed and threw her fists in the air. White wind surrounded everything, it shook the whole tower! She couldn't calm herself.

Tye dropped the staff and struggled to get to her, he jumped to her and hugged her tight. He felt her tears. The wind started to calm. Her eyes shut slowly and her hair flowed down, she dropped in his arms. She opened her eyes slowly, "Tye, I am truly sorry…" Her nails grew longer as she made a deep cut into his shoulder. He yelped falling back, she stood up with a tube of blood. But soon thought about Slade's plan to take over the world. She bent over him again, and whispered in his ear, "I'll be back." She blew up a wall and escaped.
