Raven's Sister

Chapter 11

"ROBIN!" Kari cried as she came up out of the water gasping. She hadn't even realized he had followed her and now she was busted, unless she could come up with a believable lie in about twenty seconds.

Robin winced, he hadn't wanted to be caught, but then maybe he did, maybe he had wanted to confront Kari about this. He slowly turned and faced a dripping wet Kari. He watched her mouth move neither was sure what to say and finally he broke the silence.

"Why didn't you tell us your Raven's sister?" he demanded. Kari's eyes widened, she wasn't expecting that to be his first question, and she wasn't sure she knew the answer to it.

"I don't know." She replied the slowly as she tried to discover the reasoning behind it.

"At the time it just seemed like a good idea." She said quietly hoping Slade was in the bathroom or something and not listening through the band around her neck.

"Robin what are you doing here?" she asked suddenly realizing she had no idea.

"I followed you, and that reminds me. How come you failed to mention your powers?" he demanded this time sounding very suspicious.

"I'm…ashamed of them." Kari lied hoping he wouldn't see through it.

"Ashamed? Why?" he wanted to know.

Kari shook her head, "We need to get aw…" and suddenly the band began tightening around her neck and she fell to her knees struggling for air.

"N…o…pl..ea..se…" she begged trying to remove the golden band. Robin's eyes widened, as a dark figure rose up from the water behind Kari.

"Naughty, naughty little servant, you almost made a big mistake. Lucky for you I'm a forgiving master." A dark ominous voice said smugly.

"R..ob..in…r…u.n" Kari cried desperately. She had never wanted this to happen, she knew eventually it would but she had always thought she could find a way out of it. Robin had ruined everything though by following her.

Robin's eyes darkened, "Slade. I should have guessed." He said taking out his Bo-staff and preparing for a fight.

"Put your ridiculous toy away boy, I have no desire to fight you. I'm already in reach of what I desire." Slade said with a smirk as he waved his hand in Kari's direction. Kari's eyes rolled into the back of her head as she began convulsing.

"What are you doing to her?" Robin demanded still not fully comprehending the situation.

"I'm, shall we say, re-educating her." Slade said amusement evident in his voice. Slowly Kari stopped moving as blood trickled from the corner or her mouth. Slade slowly made his way over to her and kicked her hard in the back.

He smiled as he heard the distinct sound of bones cracking, he had sworn this girl would pay with her life but first he wanted the rest of the titans.

"Get up wench!" He whispered harshly. Kari moaned and Slade kicked her in the stomach. She cried out in pain but struggled to her feet desperate to get away from the beatings.

"Go to the tower and bring me the alien girl." He ordered, and then he seemed to remember Robin was still there staring at the two of them in shock and puzzlement.

"But first subdue Robin and bring him to the lair." He ordered as he disappeared. Kari slowly turned to face Robin who had snapped out of his confused state and was standing prepared once again for battle.

She wiped the trail of blood from her face, "I'm so sorry for everything, but I refuse to die for you or for anyone!" she yelled fury written all over her face. She levitated a large boulder and sent it crashing in Robin's direction but he quickly evaded it.

He struck her in the back with his staff causing her to collapse. The attack itself hadn't been very crippling but it combined with her earlier beating from Slade was enough.

She got to her feet and watched Robin wearily; she had lost all control of the situation and was tempted to go all out on him. But she knew that letting her innate sense of survival and self-preservation would cause her to go too far and probably kill him and maybe herself.

So she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, she felt him leap into the air and she quickly performed a roundhouse kick sending him flying into a tree trunk. She was so busy mentally congratulating herself that she missed his next attack and was knocked off her feet…again… and landed a few feet away holding her stomach.

He had slammed his staff into her, and she would definitely be feeling it in the morning, that is if she lived that long. Suddenly she caught sight of a huge boulder behind Robin and got an idea.

First she levitated a slightly smaller boulder and directed it to chase after Robin as he desperately tried to evade it, then she levitated the larger one and with a resounding crack and a scream of pain from Robin she trapped him between the boulders.

She very carefully set the boulders down so she wouldn't cause any more harm to Robin then she already had. The boulders had maybe eight inches between the two and Robin was crushed in the middle still yelling.

"I'm sorry Robin, I never meant for any of this to happen. I never wanted to have to do this, but it was my life or that of the titans. I guess you can tell who I chose." Kari said sadly as she noticed the intense hatred radiating from Robin's eyes.

Kari used her powers to get the boulder into the underwater cave and set it down in a corner. She turned to leave, but turned back to look at him.

"Don't blame Raven for this. She didn't know, no one did. It was my job and I did it. Nothing more." She whispered as she left the cavern already planning how to get Starfire away from the tower.
