Mystic Angel was playing a game with Cyborg and Beast Boy in the main room. She was winning by a landslide and enjoyed hearing the boys groan with every point she acquired. Raven was reading and Starfire was brushing her hair. Robin wad nowhere to be found in the tower. Everything was calm and not out of the usual. Beast Boy brought up an unexpected question after the game was over. "So Angel, what was Robin so upset yesterday? He locked himself up in his room forever last night." Angel sighed and set down the controller.

"He bought me a gift." Angel retorted. "I didn't feel comfortable accepting it, so I turned it down."

"What was it?" he asked next.

"It was a present meant for someone more than a friend."

"I figured." Cyborg but in, "I heard him talking to Speedy about what to buy you. He still feels bad about what's happened."

"He told you what happened?" Angel was surprised.

"Of course, we're best friends."

"Not only that but it's obvious." Raven came in as she looked up from her book. Starfire stayed quiet until raven called her name, telling her to speak up.

"Robin was indeed upset about what happened between the two of you, but he was generous enough to give me the gifts you turned down."

"Huh?" Beast Boy looked at her with everyone else.

"He had no use for them." Starfire replied and then turned around and went back to what she was doing. Angel just decided to let it go, it was nothing that required alarm or any thought.

Everyone was awaken from their thoughts when their communicators went off. Cyborg pulled up the message on the main computer so everyone could see and hear at the same time. Robin's head came up on the large screen. "Titans, I've just spotted Slade! He's at the city dump!" he told them.

"What's he doing there?" Cyborg asked Robin.

"He's collecting parts, I think he's building something." Robin answered.

"Right, we'll be there in ASAP." And Cyborg shut off the computer. "Go time ya'll." And everyone ran into the garage.

"We'll take the T-Car." Angel told everyone and they all jumped in. Cyborg hit the gas and they sped off into the city.

Upon arrival, things were dead silent. Robin and Slade were nowhere to be found. Beast Boy turned into a lion and Raven had discs ready at command. Starfire had her star bolts readied and Cyborg had his cannon out. Angel flew in front of them and her eyes glowed white just in case she needed her wind power. But there was nothing, not even a stir. "Robin?" Starfire called out and they began to walk around. "Robin, where are you?" she tried again.

"There's nobody here." Angel stated, but then there was a laser blast that just missed her head and struck the ground! She jumped backwards and the titans gathered in a group, ready for battle!

"Darn it," Slade's voice said calmly, and he walked out from atop a garbage mound as the smoke cleared, "I missed."

"Slade!" and she readied herself again, "Where's Robin?"

"Robin, oh he's right over there." And he pointed to the right. The team looked and saw Robin tied up on the roof of a car. Above him was the wrecking ball that was used to smash the cars. "You have three minutes to save him, or he'll be crushed with the hunk of metal."

"That's too easy." Angel almost laughed.

"Too easy indeed, Angel. You see, there's something I forgot to mention, my minions are surrounding your every direction and way out…so not matter what…you won't get to Robin." There was a moment of utmost silence.

"What do you want?" Angel yelled out.

"I want you Angel. You will join me in my quest to rule the world."

"NEVER!" Angel barked at him and threw a gust of wind at him! It knocked him off of the mound and he landed on the ground in front of them.

"I figured you might say that. Attack!" and his robots began to enclose the titans in a circle! There were at least a hundred of them!

"Titans go!" Angel shouted and everyone began to fight!

Angel went after Slade, but was blocked by the robots. She used her powers to create a small tornado that knocked them off their feet and tossed them aside like little action figures! More came and she used her earth powers and lifted her arms up, creating a huge wall of earth and slammed it down on top of them, crushing them into pieces! "Not good enough Slade!" and as more came from behind she picked up a boulder from under the dirt and flung it at them, knocking them over like bowling pins. She began to walk towards Slade. More robots came and she blew them away from both her sides with a squall of wind.

"You're psychic powers to control the elements are amazing." Slade mentioned. More robots came and she clapped her hands out in front of her, making the ground come up and crush them between two mighty walls. "You can take out armies without even lifting a finger." And she growled and charged at him as fast as her feet would take her! "You're all I need to enslave the world."

"I WILL NEVER WORK FOR YOU!" and she threw huge flames at him! Slade picked up a garbage can top and used it as a shield. "How dare you disrepute me! Your insolence will be the death of you!" and she did it again!

"And your temper will be the death of everyone in the world." And on that note she stopped and stared at him.

"What did you say?" she spoke after a minute.

"Come on Mystic Angel, you know well what I am talking about. All those natural disasters that killed those innocent people. You were only doing what you were created to do."

"Shut your mouth!" she yelled.

"You weren't born to save lives, only destroy them."

"That's not true!"

"You weren't even born, were you? You haven't a clue where you came from."

"Shut up!" and she dropped to her knees and covered her ears.

"It hurts doesn't it? Knowing that you're not like everyone else. You weren't born…you were created. You might not remember, but I do. And no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to forget about all those innocent people you've killed."

"I haven't killed anyone!" she barked.

"The hurricane of '92…the mighty earthquake that destroyed the town of Potter City…all the volcanoes that have swallowed up unsuspecting people on the southern islands,"

"SHUT UP!" and a huge gust of wind exploded from her body and sent everything flying! The winds began to spin and became a tornado! Debris and trash flew around and the robots went up into the air along with it! The titans and Slade gripped onto nearby things to stay on the ground.

"You're dangerous!"

"No I'm not…" she whimpered.

"You're a villain."

"No…"

"Murderer…"

"NO!" and she jumped up and sent Slade flying back with a huge flare! He hit a wall of garbage and watched as she closed her eyes and gripped her hands into fists. The wind stopped and everything settled back down to normal. Slade stood up, picked up a gun and fired, sending a net towards the upset adolescent! Her eyes glowed orange and she sent a dome of flames from around her, incinerated the net! Slade's eyes opened wide as she charged at him! She kicked him in the face and then in the stomach with her other foot, sending him further back and skidding! "FOOL! I AM NOTHING LIKE YOU…NOBODY IS! I AM A HERO…AND YOU ARE NOTHING!" and she sent another burning blasé his way. "NOTHING!" and when she stopped he was gone and the mound of garbage was nothing but ashes. "And you know nothing about me." She growled as she tried to catch her breath from screaming.

"Oh I know more about you than you think." His voice said and she looked up and saw him on another mound. How had he managed to escape her attack? "And one day you will seek me out just to discover the truth." And then he jumped from mound to mound until he disappeared.

"ANGEL!" Cyborg yelled out and she turned and saw that the wrecking ball was dropping! She picked up the jagged top of a can and threw it at Robin and sent a gust of wind following it! It flew less than an inch above him, cutting the rope and freeing him! Then she flew forward at the speed of light and pulled him off the car not even a second before it smashed into the hunk of junk! The titans looked at Angel set Robin down, safe and sound. But instead of celebrating, she crumbled to the ground and sobbed. Robin knelt down and looked at her.

"Angel?" he asked.

"I don't know who I am." She sobbed as she covered her face. He touched her shoulder. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" she shouted and the he jumped back in shock.

"But Angel…"

"What is the matter?" Starfire asked as the rest ran over. Angel didn't answer, she just flew straight up into the air and away from the others, turning invisible as she went off, leaving the others confused. She went further and further away, not wanting to be found.
