So anyways, enjoy,
CHAPTER 6
The Betrayed Betrays
"Hi-YA!" The final punch was thrown. The last guard fell to the ground unconscious. The cat girl stepped out of the shadows and cracked her knuckles loudly, "Is it just me or is does security really suck these days?" She mused to herself, chuckling softly.
"Is Slade losing it? This is just a box," Kate said after ripping the door off the safe. There sitting inside the broken safe was a small metal box. It was about as tall as her hand and that wide also. "I wonder what's inside that's so special to Slade." She said pulling the box out and looking at it carefully. Curiosity killed the cat, she thought to herself, screw it. She smashed the lock against the ground and it broke, the metal shards flew everywhere but she was happy. She slowly brought it to eye level and opened the lid. Inside was some kind of remote. It was the same size and shape of a normal TV remote only the buttons were different. On one end was an antenna and on the other was a small slot, for a computer chip. She thought remembering the other item she stole.
The wall in front of her exploded. Five teens stood on the other side. Kate tore her eyes from the remote and stuffed it into a pocket in her belt. "Teen Titans," she said coolly slowly strolling forward, "Pleasure again to see you. I hope you didn't forget about me,"
"We certainly did not! Foul feline female!" Starfire cried flying up into the air and zooming towards Kate. She reached her hands foreword and grabbed Kate's neck and continued flying into she slammed Kate against the wall. She groaned and slide down the wall her eyes closed. Starfire gasped and kneeled down, "Oh dear girl! I am sorry for the damage I have caused, are you 'O.K.'?"
A hard punch slammed into Starfire's face and she went flying. "Starfire!" called Robin as he ran to Starfire who lay on the ground rubbing her eye. When she removed her hand he could see the bruising around it.
Kate stood up slowly and rolled her head around loudly cracking her neck, "Your just too easy to fool,"
Robin growled and ran at Kate, he had his metal rod out and in an attacking position. Kate dodged the stick and smiled. She leapt onto the stick and pushed on Robin's chest making him fall. She sat on his chest holding down his arm, "Look, I don't know what Slade is holding you against," Robin said, "But whatever it is you can get out. And we can help. Slade is evil and has no intention of helping you!"
"You lie!" She hissed, "And besides I joined of my own free will!" Robin narrowed his eyes. He pulled one of his arm's free and literally ripped Kate off him and scrawling across the ground. She slowly stood up only to be greeted by Raven. Even in the shadows she could tell Raven was pissed as hell. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" She screamed. Black clawing hands sprouted out of the ground and pulled at Kate trying to pull her to the ground. Kate pulled and screamed. She finally managed to free one arm and scratched Raven's face, breaking her concentration. Raven felt her face, small tinkles of blood touched her pale finger tips. She turned back to where Kate was but without the black energy pulling her down she had disappeared.
Robin came over and half hugged her, "Sorry," Raven said softly, "I let her get away," she grumbled something else that Robin didn't quite hear but it sounded a lot like 'stupid bitch cat fought dirty and scratched me'. "It's okay hun," he said pulling out his communicator and pressed a few buttons, suddenly a map of the city and surrounding area appeared on the screen. Moving along the side streets was a red dot. "It was a good thing that she got away. I put a tracker on her and now she'll lead us to Slade's new layer. C'mon team!" Yelled Robin as he ran for the exit.

Kate panted as she made it to the outside of the city. She moved silently through the forest that surrounded Jump City. She broke through there frightening claustrophobic branches. All there was a sign that was too dark to read in the dark, a road, and a broken down building. She sprinted across the road and raced to the building. When she reached the entrance she slowed down. There was a small panel attached to the wall near the door, Kate pressed some buttons and the panel opened up. There was a screen with a neon blue hand print in the middle of it. Kate placed her hand on the hand print. A match was made to her DNA file and the door to the building opened. Kate walked in casually. Old, dusty machines surrounded her but she could care less of them. She walked up a metal ladder up to the next floor. There were many doors on this floor, she didn't know what was behind half of them. But she walked along the path until she reached a special door. She knocked softly, "Slade?" she asked in the same manner of quietness.
There was no reply. That's when she noticed the door was slightly open, I know I shouldn't. she thought to herself. She reached towards the door knob. Kate had never been in this room, all she knew that it was Slade's office. She looked around, she didn't see anyone around. I'm going in. She pushed open the door and took a step inside.
Papers flooded the walls, news paper clippings, diagrams and millions of paper that would seem to take forever to read. There sitting in the middle of the dark room, in the only light was a desk. It seemed to bare and it looked odd compared to the walls. She placed the metal box on the desk and sat down on the wheelie chair behind it.
So this is where Slade spends most of his time, She thought. There has to be more than just this. There's nothing in this room. But.She looked at the desk again. There was one drawer. Am I really going to search through his man's junk to see what he does in this room? It's none of my business. That's when she noticed that the drawer was also unlocked, Sure I am!
Kate opened the drawer. It, like the desk, was almost empty and neat. There were a few pens and pencils and a folded piece of paper. Kate pulled out the paper and unfolded it. The sheet of paper was huge and almost covered the whole desk. It was a blue print for some machine. Kate skimmed over the paper reading the instructions. That's when her eyes opened in horror. The machine would be able to produce weapons of mass destructions. Nuclear Bombs.
Slade was planning on bringing nuclear war to earth unless his demands were met. The worst part of all was Slade tricked her into stealing parts of the machine. "No." she said softly to herself. Slade isn't evil. Just misunderstood! He is going to help me change back to a human. Back to normal.
Is that before or after he blows up the earth? Her conscious replied back sarcastically.
No. He wouldn't would he?
He's a maniacal psychopath with an army of millions of robots at his disposal. I'd say pretty evil.
"Kate." The stern, harsh voice of Slade jerked Kate's eyes away from the blue prints and made her yelp quietly. Slade was standing in front of the desk; his visible eye stared at her coldly. "I see someone was exploring. Find anything.interesting?" His eye slowly moved from Kate to the blue print.
"Slade.I." Kate stuttered, "You selfish bastard! You never had any intension of helping me!" The words burst out of Kate's mouth.
Slade put his hands behind his back and turned so his back was to Kate, "I see. You have found the blue prints. And you are.displeased by them?" He asked sarcastically. Kate scoffed, "Shame," Slade said softly, "I'm just going to have to kill you now then!" He turned around with a knife in his hand. Kate's eyes opened and she leapt out of the chair as the knife was brought down where her head was only seconds before hand.
Kate stared at the robot blocking the door and then Slade with a knife in his hand. God, please help me!!! I'll never do anything bad again if I live through this!

"Titans I got a lock on the girl's location. Ten miles south and 20 feet up! Teen Titans GO!"
The Teen Titans raced to the garage where the T-car was. They soon where out on the road and heading towards the deadly battle that was getting more and more violent.
XXXXXXX
CRASH!
A hole appeared in the wall. Slade pulled his fist out of it. Kate was now on the desk crouching down preparing to pounce if need be. Slade had abandoned the knife a few minutes ago and decided to use his fists.
Slade turned towards his desk. As he ran towards it Kate leapt up in the air. But Slade jumped and caught her foot. Kate screamed as Slade pulled her down and flung her at the wall.
Kate curled up into a ball and held her cheek that had a nasty gash on it and was bleeding. Oh god this is the end. She thought to herself. Slade bent down and ripped Kate's hand away from her face. He held it tightly as he pushed her into the wall. Kate hissed and tried to pull free but Slade then pinned her with his other arm. He pinned her by pushing his forearm just under her neck, slowly crushing her collar bone making each last breath more painful than the last.
Stop," She gasped, wheezing for breath, "you can't do this to me. people will come looking for me." She struggled to breath. "And by the time they find you you'll be a battered body washed up on some beach. You can't even imagine that people care about you now. Everyone hates you now, your just a theft and a little theft that no one cares if she gets hurt because of her own stupidity. They'd give me a metal before putting me in jail for killing a wanted theft. Face it. Your alone." Slade said harshly.
No." she wheezed, "Yes you fool!" Slade said, "Your just a bitch and to proud to admit your lower than dirt!"
Rage flowed through Kate's body now. She wasn't going to die. This man was going to. He caused her too much pain. Her body was bruised and hurting now. She couldn't hold on to life anymore. Life was too painful. Life was hell. Life was worst than hell. It was hell mixed with pain and betrayal. Slade was this.
Kate's hands went limp and her eyes slowly started to close and her chest slowly started to rise less and less as she took in a strangled breath.
Just too painful.Her cloudy mind thought. Pain flowed through her body. But not the outside pain. But a inside pain, rage. The burning acid of hatred pain. Kate's hands stiffened and her eyes flew open. They were glowing red and they craved Slade's blood.
"YOU WILL NOT HARM ME ANYMORE! YOU WILL PAY!"
Acid quickly rolled down her finger tips not burning any of her flesh, but when it hit Slade it burnt through his glove and scarred his hand. He cursed and flung Kate across the room. Kate didn't hit the other wall. She grabbed on to the desk and steadied herself.

Robin threw an exploding disk at the robot that was guarding a door. But the robot dodged it and leapt up in the air.
"Azarth Metrion Zinthos!" A black energy rope wrapped around the robot's ankle and pulled it down to the ground and smashed it.
"Good work Raven," Robin said. Raven just nodded and pulled up her hood. "Kate is in there and I have a feeling Slade is too!"
Robin kicked in the door, "Slade your going down this time!" Robin yelled. He leapt into the air drawing his metal rod in the process, "Teen T-" he started to scream but he was interrupted by another voice. Kate's voice.
"STAY OUT OF THIS! I DON'T WANT TO HURT MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE!" Kate leapt up in the air and pushed Robin to the ground. She continued the jump and landed on Slade's back.
Kate reached over his head and placed her hand on Slade's face. The acid seemed to emerge from her whole hand. It quickly burnt off the mask until it was just ash then his face started to blister and the skin started to peel away.
Slade started screaming. His voice echoed in the room making it sound ten times louder than it actually was. The titans could just watch in horror as Slade hurled Kate from off his back at the ceiling. Kate screamed as she hit the light. It shattered and everyone covered their eyes. The room lit up for a second then went completely dark for the lack of windows. All they could hear was Kate's screaming and the sickening thud as she hit the ground.
