Sunni flew down to the ground; she gave the Titans a hopeful smile and stood in front of them as if protecting them. She faced Slade with her eyes turning from green to an angry yellow.

"Hello Sunni, I don't believe we've met. I'm Slade, and you are going to be my apprentice. You have the strongest powers I've ever seen, and I want them. I want you."

"OK first of all you are a creep, and what are you doing to my friends and…" Sunni replied, and then she realized something. "Wait, you sent us the free Fair tickets so Cor and I would go, when we were gone you'd kidnap the Titans, and you'd have someone hurt Cor just enough so he couldn't come with me to help. Thus you kidnapped the Titans so you'd try and force my to become you dumb apprentice. Ha! And above all, you really thought it would work didn't you!" Slade looked at the girl dumbfounded, she wasn't supposed to be smart…

"Did you really think I'd betray my friends just so I could work for a weird, crazy man who wants my powers. You must have thought that I was dumber than a rock." Sunni was almost laughing at his plan.

"I would not laugh if I were you," Slade said coldly " if you don't become my apprentice then I'll dispose of your friends, for good." He stared at her with frozen eyes, she glared back. The Titans just looked at the brave Sunni who was standing up to Slade. Their future lied in the white-gloved hands of the young woman in front of them. It was a perfect time for a tumbleweed to blow by. The wind started to pick up, and it flew around Sunni.

SUNNI's POV

The wind was blowing, I knew Cor was watching on TV and getting angry with the man whose name is Slade. I tried my hardest to telepathically tell Cor everything would be all right and don't start a storm. I guess it worked and the wind ceased and the sun shone bright in the crystal blue sky.

My poor friends are tied up tightly in ropes and sitting behind me, they look scared. I believe Slade is using them to try to get to me and it is working. I'm trying to think of what they would do in a situation like this. Should I accept like Starfire and deal with the hardship, or should I fight till the end like Robin. I'm still staring at Slade trying to look into his soul and find out who he is. When I glanced at the Titans I saw Robin looking at him furiously, Starfire looked frightened, BB look terrified, Cyborg look confused, and Raven seemed to be calm. I think she most of all, believes in me, they all do ,don't get me wrong, but I think she knows what will happen . She's cool like that.

I think I might have a plan that might work; I just have to believe in my friends and myself.

REGULAR POV

Sunni continued to glare at Slade with furry, and he just as much returned the look. It was a long silence until Sunni broke it. " Slade, I wish to battle and have a deal on it."

He was stunned, did this teenage girl, some girl who could barely control her powers, just ask to battle him. He was too sure of himself, and thought what's there to lose; I'll just have her anyway.

"What do want?" he answered, dumbfounding the Titans even more.

"If you win, you get me and the Teen Titans." She stated calmly. " But if I win, then you will be banished from the earth and will have neither the Titans or myself. And you must swear to never think about or actually hurt anyone or thing. Got it?". He laughed.

"Alright, deal."

"Oh, and during the battle you must neither use or hurt anyone."

"OK" he agreed. She held out her hand with confidence, he took it cautiously, and then shook it. Sunni turned around to face the Titans, they stared back at her, she gave them a smile and said " Don't worry guys, you taught me all I need to know." They all returned the smile; they felt a sense of gratitude and hope. She flew up into the sky and looked at Slade who was standing in the shade underneath a tree."Great" Sunni thought to herself," this is going to be a battle against darkness. Oh well, I have to do this for the Titans as a thank you, I must believe."

Slade continued to watch the girl with admiration, " Boy" he thought," She has guts to risk her life and her friends, she's way too confident in herself. This will be her first lesson."

"Ready?" she yelled to him.

"When you are."
