Chapter Nine: Her Betrayal, Part Two

Slade POV

I will not stand for this. I taught that girl everything she knows, and she thinks she can just turn around and betray me? She was not going to get away with this. She'd be nothing without me.

Standing painfully, I turned and looked at what was two minutes ago a Ferris-wheel. The wreckage was massive: metal beams were scattered everywhere, the cars had toppled over and crashed into each other, and a fire was starting at the controls. The fire department and the police will be here any minute. I had to get this done quickly.

I set off quickly into the House of Mirrors, listening for footsteps or voices. I took one hall after the next, my cold reflection glaring at me from all sides. Finally, I heard my dear apprentice's voice from around a corner. I looked to see the two in a sort of chamber surrounded on all sides with full length mirrors.

"Beast Boy, I'm not going back," she was saying. Go back to where? The Titans? They'll never accept you back. Me? Inevitable. She lowered her head. "I can't."

"What?" he asked, shocked. "Why?" Time to cut in. I stepped into the chamber, and my image appeared on all the mirrors.

"Because she's not your friend," I said. My voice echoed, making it impossible to tell what was a mirror and what was the real me. "She's my apprentice." As Beast Boy let this new information register, I grabbed Terra and forced her behind me so he wouldn't see her.

After the realization sunk in, he looked around the room for her,as he hadn't noticed me grabbing her."Terra?" he asked, a little frightened. "Terra!" It's about time he learned the truth.

"The girl you knew was merely an illusion," I continued, as he looked from mirror to mirror. "A fantasy. In reality, she's been working for me."

His face was now contorted with rage. "That's a LIE!" He rushed forward and shattered the nearest mirror with a single punch. The only advantage of fighting with your emotions, you were stronger. I heard Terra gasp behind me; I lightly stepped on her foot, telling her silentlyto shut her up.

"I found her," I continued. Beast Boy ran at another mirror and smashed it, too. "I trained her to control her impressive powers." Smash. Get a grip on yourself, boy. You know it's true. "And then I sent her to destroy your little 'T'," smash, "from the inside out." He shattered the last of the mirrors, still in a rage.

"No!" he yelled, glaring at me. "Terra would never—" I cut him off.

"Tonight, her orders were to strike," I continued calmly. "But I guess she took pity on you. Perhaps she wanted to keep you as a pet." That was more than likely true. "However, despite this minor error in judgment," Minor? This little stunt almost ruined the entire plan, "she was kind enough to deactivate the security at Titans' Tower." Beast Boy now looked angrier then ever. "Your friends are being annihilated even as we speak." He closed his eyes with anger.

"LIAR!" he yelled at the top of his voice. I heard Terra move behind me.

She stepped in front of me. "Beast Boy…" she said softly, and he snapped his eyes opened at turned to face us. "It's the truth." I folded my arms and glared down at her. And when I'm through with you, you'll know the true meaning of the phrase 'the truth hurts.'

Beast Boy had a look of pure sadness on his face. "Terra… why?" he asked her in a small voice. Terra bowed her head in shame. I turned my gaze to him.

"Because you could never give her what she needs." With a roar of rage, he transformed into a tiger and flew at Terra and me. She ducked out of the way, and I caught him and threw him to the side. I pulled my blaster ray, just like the ones the androids use, and shot him. The tiger was instantly changed into his human self and went unconscious. I raised the blaster to deliver the killing blow.

Terra gave a gasp from beside me. "No!" she said furiously, hands glowing. "I won't let you hurt my friend." I glared at her.

"Dear child, you don't have any friends." It was the truth. They'll never trust her again. A shadow passed across her face and I turned to see Beast Boy in bear-form towering above me, paw pulled back to strike. The blow was unavoidable, and it sent me crashing to the floor, knocking the blaster out of my hand. I stood before the bear managed to reach me, but he pinned me to the floor again. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Terra leave the room.

A well-aimed kick sent Beast Boy flying off me, and I stood up, wincing at the pain in my stomach. Damn Beast Boy. This hurts like hell. He was human again, glaring at me forcefully.

"You did this to her!" he yelled. "She was so nice and sweet, and you turned her into a, a…" I never knew what I had turned her into, because he turned and ran after Terra. That won't end well. I slowly followed, giving them some privacy for a brief talk. The communicator I carried with me beeped. I pulled it out to see Wintergreen's face.

He looked grave about something. 'Mr. Wilson," he said cautiously, "your scanners have indicated that the bomb at Titans' Tower was destroyed along with the android attack squad. I'm sorry, sir." His image snapped to the blank screen. I crushed the communicator, ignoring the pain of the sparks that flew from it. She is going to regret the day she betrayed me.

I rounded the final corner. Terra was standing near the entrance, facing Beast Boy, who was facing a mirror. Neither saw me.

"Slade was right," Beast Boy said without looking at her. "You don't have any friends." Ooh, that hurt. It was bad enough for me as her mentor to say it, but to hear it coming from her only true friend… my opinion of Beast Boy rose a bit.

I heard sirens in the distance. Time to go. "Apprentice, come," I said coldly. She backed up to stand in front of me, head bowed. "We've had a change in plans." The two of us turned and left the House of Mirrors, leaving the lone Titan to ponder this new revelation.


Terra POV

I ran. I couldn't stand watching the two of them fight. I had to be alone. I had to think. So I ran away as fast as my legs would carry me. It felt like if I kept running, I could leave all this pain behind.

I came to a dead end, and I was surrounded by mirrors. All around me, my reflection stared back at me, scared and hopeless. Slade is never going to forgive me, and the Titans will hate me when they find out. I was sick of looking at myself. Sinking to the floor, I began to sob uncontrollably. My emotions were all out of control: anger, fear, shock, hurt… it was too much.

"She's my apprentice… The girl you knew was merely an illusion. A fantasy. In reality, she's been working for me…"

What have I done? I never should have said yes to Slade's offer. I should've stayed with the Titans and let them help me. Slade manipulated me. All the lies and sweet-talking… he didn't mean it. He just wanted me, and he'd do whatever it took to get me. I hate him. This is all his fault. I never should have trusted him… never…

And then there was Beast Boy. Well, all of the Titans, but Beast Boy was the one who made an effort to know me, understand me, even… care for me. He was the only true friend I'd ever had, and I'd betrayed him… all of them.

"Beast Boy, I'm sorry," I said aloud, still crying. "I'm so sorry. I never meant for any of thisto happen." But deep down, I knew it would. But that was before I'd ever truly known Beast Boy… before I'd come to truly like him.

"Then why did you let it?" came his voice. He's here. I stood and looked at him, wiping my eyes.

"I don't know, okay?" I told him. "I don't know." But that wasn't true. I did know, and Beast Boy deserved to know the truth. "Slade… he helped me. Saved me from myself." I was trying to explain it to him, but now he was just glaring. "He said I owed him, but—"

He cut me off, looking even angrier. "So it was all a game?" I stared at him, shocked. How could he think that?

"No," I said, but his expression didn't change. "You said you'd be my friend no matter what." I stepped towards him, but he turned around and stared at a mirror.

"Slade was right," he said darkly. "You don't have any friends." I stared at the boy in front of me in shock. How could he possibly say that? After all that had happened between us in the last three months? What about tonight? We almost kissed for god's sake! I hate him!

"Apprentice, come," came Slade's calm, cold voice from behind me. I backed up to where he stood, still filled with shock and hurt. "We've had a change in plans." With that, he left. I shot Beast Boy a look of pure hate, and followed Slade.

You don't have any friends, he had said. No… that couldn't be true… But it was. Beast Boy clearly didn't give a damn about me anymore, and neither would the others when he told them. Slade wasn't a friend, he was only a teacher, my mentor, and my… master. He had been right all along. I don't belong with the Titans. I belong with Slade.

I made a promise to myself, right then, that I would get revenge on Beast Boy. He betrayed me, and he was going to regret it.


A/N: Alright, that's all for the Betrayal stuff. I have no clue when the next chapter will be up… probably around Monday or so. Anyway, unless I get some protesting reviewers, I'm not doing Terra POV anymore. Writing her this chapter was a pain. For some reason, she's very difficult to right. And Slade is easy. It's really weird. So, if you really want me to keep doing Terra POV, just say so and I'll keep going. Now, review!
