Chapter 12: Borage, Courage
Starfire's POV:
The air had a foul smell to it. I hid behind the darkness as my eyes curiously examined the deserted building. The windows had been shattered, and I also noticed some graffitti sprayed all around the area.
The girl quickly stepped out of the shadows pacing her steps with haste, and softness. Her thick long hair flowed in the air as she felt the crisp air stroming at her face. Never in her life had she been so scared. She felt alone with not much hope that she could get him back, but what she had left was a faint spark of courage.
Oh how I wished that this was all a dream and I would wake up in the same warm bed with my same old life.
Before reaching the door she stopped. The young girl's mind raced with thoughts that clogged up her head. She really could turn back. There were two paths carefully set out for only her to choose. She could choose to turn back to grasp the friends that she already has, to enjoy life the way she wanted to...or she could choose to try to bring him back despite the fact she had little hope he would believe her, and could be risking her life for this.
Make the right choice...the right one.
She clutched her fists as she continued forward.
The building was more gigantic than she thought! It had to be at least five stories high. The surprised girl began to check within door to door still no luck. There had to be some evidence that Rain was planning...something.
She heard faint sounds coming closer and closer. She peered out the window as she saw both Robin and Rain sprinting towards her direction. She ducked between two machines that she could vaguely make out. She pressed her palms onto the cold hard steel and lowered her head with exhaustion.
The door slowly opened as she jolted up from her hiding spot and glanced at their every movement.
"The light switch...find the light switch." said the young man still panting for breath. "Here it is."
Starfire closed her eyes from the sudden brightness that covered the room. She opened them and slowly began to see what was really happening. She felt nervous for no longer was the darkness able to hide her. She looked at the machines in which she had been hiding between. And there was a worn out sticker. The sticker originally white had slowly been turning into a faint yellow from the age.
Peering closer, she began to see small letters:
LEADS CORP.
WARNING!
HIGH VOLTAGE, HANDLE WITH CARE! STAY BACK AT LEAST 10 FEET FROM MACHINE. SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR WHEN USED INCORRECTLY!
She stared bewildered. What was this building used for? Why hadn't she heard of LEADS CORPARATION? Something was strange.
"Search around...he's here somewhere I know it." shouted Rain
They were searching for Slade...Slade. She would have heard him move when she came earlier. She paused for a moment trying to fit all the puzzle pieces in correctly.
SLADE.
Thie building had to be connected with Slade. She felt a weird sensation everytime she thought of that name.
SLADE...
The machines were conneted with...
SLADE!
She gasped as she finally realized it! LEADS CORP. was owned by SLADE! The letters in his name was S-L-A-D-E when scrambled around she got LEADS. It was to cover him up to make sure noone found out!
She looked at rain walking towards the elevador. She glanced as Robin as he examine the papers. She looked at Rain again. She held something in her hand she saw a silver small object within her palms...was that a...remote?
She leaped out of her hiding place as Robin layed his eyes upon her. She felt a sudden nervousness as she stammered to find the right words.
Make the right choice!
"Robin this is a trap!"
