AN-This story isn't as popular as I had hoped it to be. I get less than 20 hits in more than three weeks. I was tempted to put the story on HIATUS, however, we are nearing the end. So I figured what the hey, I'll just keep posting. On the other hand there is one little trick...I have a sequel, and a mighty good one, to this story. It's main focus is on romance but the plot is magnificent. Whether or not I post the sequel depends on the number of viewers. But please try to enjoy this chapter! ;)

It had been three days since the team had last seen Mystic Angel. They called their friends and searched everyday in hope of finding her. But there was nothing. Robin began to worry that Slade had gotten a gold of her and was torturing her every living minute. The others were worried as well, maybe she had left the town…or maybe Robin was right. The other titans had no clue where she was or where she may be. They offered the use of a heat seeker with the possibility that she was invisible the past few days. Robin had told them everything that had happened, including her little argument with Slade and the massive tornado that she had created. They had already known, for it was visible from anywhere in town and it was on the news as the latest mystery. But the only mystery was where she had run off to.

One evening while the team members were readying the heat seekers to find her, the door opened automatically. They turned and looked but saw nothing. But then they heard a familiar voice. "Guys…it's me." And with that Mystic Angel appeared in the door and walked down the stairs to see them. They were relieved to see that she was okay. Beast Boy ran over with Cyborg and hugged her.

"Angel you're back!" Beast Boy cheered.

"Yeah, where'd you go Mystic Angel?" Cyborg asked her as he set her down.

"I was just around town, hiding." She admitted. Starfire and Raven walked over and hugged her.

"We are most happy that you have returned." Starfire told her. Robin walked over and just looked at her.

"Hey Robin." She said with a fake smile. He leaned in and hugged her tight. She didn't know what to do, so she hugged him back.

"You scared me." He said to her.

"I'm sorry…but I scared myself." And she backed up from him.

"What happened at the dump? What did Slade do to you?" Robin asked. Angel sighed and bowed her head.

"Let's sit down and I'll explain everything." And everyone sat down around her on the couch. "Everyone, I haven't told you everything I know about myself. And I think it's time I did. You see, my powers are affected by my emotions. If I'm sad, confused or guilty…I'm invisible. I know I can control the ability to go invisible, but not when I feel that way. When my anger rises, so does the magnitude of my powers and I lose control of them. Sometimes if my temper reaches its peak…bad things happen. Really bad things." And then there was silence between everyone, "I don't know if you guys recall the explosion that occurred here six years ago…that was before the titans. But that's when my memory started. It's all a very big blur to me, but I do remember that I caused that explosion…and the tornado that followed after. I was only ten years old at the time."

"That explosion caused half the city to be burned to nothing…and then the tornado killed at least a hundred people!" Robin stated. Angel grimaced.

"I know. After that I ran away from place to place to run away from my troubles. The horrible truth about me is…I cause natural disasters…bad ones. Not earthquakes like Terra…but really, really bad ones. I also cause tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanoes and lightning storms. The ones that I've caused…are the worst in history." She bowed her head again.

"The earthquake of Potter City…" Raven spoke up. "The one where almost three quarters of the people died."

"That was me." Angel admitted.

"The hurricane of 1992?" Cyborg came in next.

"That was me, too."

"And there was this really bad volcano that wiped out to islands of Hawaii a couple years ago." Beast Boy blurt out.

"Yep…that was me." Angel said. "I was pushed to my limits and then, boom, it happened. I can't control it. So, I guess this means you guys will have to lock me up forever now, right?" Robin placed a hand on hers.

"No…this means we bust Slade. He's the one who pushed you to the limit. He knows what to do to trigger your powers. He's responsible for this."

"I don't know how he does, but he does. He told me that he knows more about me than I know myself." Angel brought up.

"Slade knows something we don't know." Raven announced, "We need to know how. And why he's using it."

"He tried to capture me. He said he wanted me to take over the world. He wants me as his weapon." Angel stated.

"That's because he knows how to manipulate you." Robin said and he stood up with the others and Angel. "He can run but he can't hide. Cyborg, pull up all the information we have on Slade. Raven, try to pinpoint his current hideout, Beast Boy and Starfire locate where he took those parts from the city dump. We're going to find out what he wants with Angel. This could be serious."

"What'll I do?" Angel asked Robin.

"You stay here; we want to make sure you're safe." Robin told her.

"We got nothing." Cyborg informed them.

"Then we go on foot." Robin said and everyone left the room to search.

"But what if you guys need help?" Angel asked.

"We can handle it." And she bowed her head again, "Don't worry, we're not gonna let him do this to you. We'll get to the bottom of this. Until then stay here and stay safe. We'll be back before dawn." And he gently kissed her forehead and ran off. Angel let tears fall from her eyes. Not only was Slade after her, but Robin was as well in a completely different way. And as much as it burned, she felt like she needed him too. She looked down at her hands that were going transparent and sighed. She needed to get a hold of her emotions before anything happened again.

It wasn't until much later that Angel's transparency problem went away. She was feeling better and decided to sleep the rest of her emotions off. So she went into her room and fell asleep on her bed, on top of the covers. She tossed and turned, for a while before she found herself in a deep slumber. In her dream, she was in danger and unsafe. She felt open and scared as she waked around a wasteland of crumbled buildings and other things. She stepped over the dead trees and piped that lay on the black ground. Everything was black, and there was no sign of life around her, until she heard an evil laugh. She looked ahead as Slade approached her with his arms behind his back. "You're friends are dead." He told her. No…of course they weren't! She went to speak but nothing came out. "You killed them, Angel. You killed everyone. You did this!" No, she couldn't have! She went to blaze him, but her powers weren't working. "YOU KILLED EVERYONE!" and he reached out and began to shake her! "Angel…Angel…Angel…"

She sat up straight as beads of sweat dripped down her face. She felt a hand on her arm and looked to her left and saw Robin. It was Robin who had been calling her, which meant it was nothing but a bad dream. She took in a deep breath and faced him. "Angel, are you okay?" and she nodded and wiped away some sweat. "How did it go?" she asked.

"We didn't find him." He informed her sadly. She just felt tears coming to her eyes.

"He's gonna get me…and then everyone will die." She spoke up softly.

"Don't say that." Robin helped her as he pulled her into a hug. "Everything's gonna be fine. We'll find him and end this. You'll be safe, I promise." She looked up at him and a tear fell.

"I'm scared." She whispered. He pulled her in again and she rested her head under his chin. "I don't wanna be this anymore." And she sobbed for some time into the night, in Robin's arms. The only place she felt safe whether she admitted it or not.
