I ran up to the top of Titans Tower to think about what I just did.
Was taking Slade's offer the right choice, I asked myself, was I that desperate to have powers that I took them from the enemy?
I paced, trying to convince myself that everything was going to work, that somehow everything was going to be okay. But, something inside me was telling me it wasn't
going to be okay, it wasn't going to work.
I tried to push away that bad feeling. I tried to think only of the good I could do with my soon-to-be powers.
"So," A voice said from behind me "Slade offered you powers and you took them."
I turned around. It was Alex.
"How did you know?" I asked suspiciously.
"I could hear you from the hallway." She replied.
I could see she was worried by the gloom in her blue eyes, her short brown hair swaying with the breeze.
"Did Starfire hear me?" I asked, hoping she hadn't.
"No," Alex said "she was already in her room."
Good, I thought, if Starfire knew what I did, she would surely misunderstand.
"Why?" Alex asked me puzzled "You were doing fine without them!"
"I don't know." I told her "I thought maybe it would be easier if…"
"If you had powers?" She interrupted "It's always been easy for us." She paused.
"I mean," she continued " we've always beat the bad guys and saved the world from evil. Why would this be any different?"
" We haven't always." I said " There's still Slade."
"Hey guys!" shouted a cheerful voice "the movie's starting!"
It was Beast Boy.
"There waiting for you." I told Alex " You'd better go."
She started heading for the stairs. "You'd better go." I repeated.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Jennifer
