Chapter 9

One day left pt.1

Jason walked through Slade's HQ. He had been thinking to himself for the past few hours. What would this plan of Slade's accomplish? It seemed to accomplish nothing more then destruction and mass murder to the young man.

"I'll go ask Slade about it…" Jason thought to himself, changing directions and heading towards Slade's personal room.

Jason arrived at the door and began to knock when he heard several voices in a few rooms over. Curiosity bit at Jason, and he turned away from the door and walked to the other door where the voices were coming from.

"This is Terra's holding cell…I wonder what's going on?"

Jason slowly opened the door and peered in. Inside was Terra, still chained to the floor, trying to defend herself from the torments of Rose and Gizmo, who were prodding her with long cattle prods.

"See? Told ya these things worked great! I'm never wrong about my inventions!" Gizmo said, poking Terra in the side, causing a blue spark to ignite at her side.

"Yeah, guess I misjudged you, Gizzy. Tell me again, how do these things work?" Rose asked, brutally shoving the glowing blue end of the stick into Terra's lower back.

Terra let out a pained whimper and tried to fend off both tormenters, and failed miserably.

"These sticks seem like normal cattle prods, right? But instead of just causing pain, they suck out the victim's energy as well, transferring the energy to the user of the prod. Can you feel it yet? It's a great feeling. With one of these, If you ever grow fatigued during a fight, take it out and stab someone with it and their energy is yours!" Gizmo replied.

"Man that's so cool. Are you working on a smaller version of them? I mean, carrying something this big around is just…uncomfortable." Rose said.

"Yeah, I gotta few prototypes in my workshop. I'll work on them later today. They'll be ready for the big plan tomorrow." The mini genius replied.

Jason had seen enough, opening the door fully and walking in.

"That's enough, you two. Incase you forgot, we need her for that plan, and sucking her energy out isn't a good way for her to be ready for it, know what I'm sayin?" Jason said, his arms folded across his chest.

"I remember that, Jay, but we needed a test dummy for these things, to make sure they work. And besides, what'll you do if we don't stop?" Rose asked, facing her partner, her right hand slowly inching down to her gun.

"This." Was all Jason said, holding out his hand.

Gizmo and Rose watched as Jason's hand began to glow a bright blue, then faded into a darker blue. Before either of them could do anything, Jason shot a powerful blast, engulfing both of them and throwing them into the far wall. Jason smirked and watched as they both fell into heaps on the floor.

"Don't try me, Rose, you'll never win. Now get out. If I catch you here again, I'll make sure you don't walk away. Remember, We don't need you for this plan. OR anything else as far as I'm concerned." Jason said, walking towards Terra's shivering form.

Jason watched as Gizmo and Rose left the room in a hurry, each glaring at Jason as they left. Jason smirked as they slammed the door, then turned his attention to Terra, who was staring up at him.

"Y…you helped me…" Terra said in a weak voice.

"Only because we need you. Though if we didn't, I would've let them have their fun." Jason replied, kneeling next to Terra, grabbing her by her chin and roughly tugging her head in different directions.

"Doesn't look like any serious damage, unfortunately. If there was, it'd give me a reason to get rid of those two morons." Jason said, letting go of Terra's chin.

Terra stared up at her brainwashed Brother, thinking hard at what she could do to somehow make him remember. Her eyes lit up as she thought of something.

"Bro- Jason, I have something to tell you…it'll help you beat the Titans." Terra said innocently, staring up at Jason.

"Oh really? Why do I find that hard to believe?"

"Please…"

Jason sighed and kneeled down next to Terra again. He was caught off guard as her right hand came up and hammered him in the right side of the head, cold-cocking him. Jason fell back, dazed. Terra watched as he squirmed on the floor, his eyes glazed over.

Flashback

"Come on, Terra! You can do better then that!" a younger Jason shouted out, nimbly dodging Terra's right hook.

The two kids were sparring in the living room at their home in Wakesville, Jason being at the young age of nine, Terra being eight. Both were training in martial arts to release a portion of their seemingly unlimited energy.

Terra growled and faked a kick, but quickly switched with another right hook, catching Jason on the right side of the head, knocking him to the ground. Terra was instantly at his side, asking if he was alright.

"Ow…nice shot, Terra." Jason said as he got to his feet. "But can you do it again?"

Terra smiled and got to her feet, striking a fighting stance. She caught him with the same right hook a few more times, until Jason had finally had enough.

"Ok, Ok. That's enough…ow…" Jason said, holding the side of his head.

Terra smiled, realizing that she could almost always catch him on the right side every time. Jason smiled back at his little sister, before falling over to the ground, unconscious from all the blows to the head.

End Flashback

Jason got to his feet, seeing nothing but red. He was pissed at being caught off guard, and confused…what was with that weird dream? He knew Terra wasn't his sister, as far back as he knew, he had only worked for Slade. Jason glared at Terra, who had put her hands over her head, weary of Jason hitting her back. Jason rubbed the side of his head before walking towards the door. As he reached the door, he turned back, that same confused look on his face. He opened the door and slammed it shut. Terra watched him go, knowing that she had seen that confused look on his face before, and she knew that she had reached him, in at least some small way.

Jason walked across the hall towards Slade's room again, this time pounding on the door. He heard Slade's voice tell him to enter. Jason opened the door and walked in, seeing Slade at the back of the room working on something on the computer.

"What is it, Apprentice?"

"Master, I was just wondering, about your plan…there seems to be nothing but destruction as its basis. Is there something I'm not seeing?"

"Yes. There always is, as it seems to be with you." Slade replied, turning and facing his apprentice. "I told you it the fault points would lead a chain reaction through many cities, the main ones being Metropolis and Gotham City. During the plan of attack, there will be a large gathering in Gotham, a gathering of the Justice League, and many of their comrades. I realize that this attack will not get rid of them all, it will get rid of some of them, which will make it immensely easier to take over not only Gotham, but many other cities as well. Eventually, I will be rid of the Titans, as well as what remains of the League after this attack."

"I see." Jason replied.

"I sincerely doubt that. You have one more day to prepare, Apprentice. Now leave me, I have much work to be doing." Slade said.

"Yes Master." Jason said, glaring at Slade before turning and walking out of the room.
